 RL> Greetings from Sydney Australia.
 RL> I am writing to ascertain if you are aware of the availability of the
 RL> herb Epilobium as a treatment/cure for prostate disorder and cancer.
 RL> International agency/distribution rights are available.
 RL> Background:
 RL> EPILOBIUM
 RL> Latin Name: Epilobium Parviflorum
 RL> Other Names: Weidenroescheon, small-flowered willow herb
 RL> Origin: Europe
 RL> Habitat: Likes rich, moist soils in shaded, protected positions
 RL> Parts used: leaves, stem, flower
 RL> Preparations: herb tea,  capsule
 RL> Action: Prostatelium, anti-inflammatory, astringent, remedial
 RL> Epilobium is an herb and the only one recognized as a prostatelium,
 RL> that 
 RL> is, its specific task is to treat the prostate. It has no side effects
 RL> and is an excellent preventative that every man over 50  should take.
 RL> (Epilobium, as with all herbs does its best work as a preventative, so
 RL> a 
 RL> few cups a week once reaching the vulnerable age zone is as close as a
 RL> guarantee as is possible to get that prostate disorder will not be
 RL> contracted).
 RL> Secondly, it is a permanent therapeutic that can serve as a support
 RL> agent in problem free combination with any other forms of prostate
 RL> treatment including surgery. recent German studies have revealed that
 RL> Epilobium is one of the many plants containing betasitosterol, but is
 RL> one of the few to contain it in a medicinally sufficient quantity and
 RL> usable form.
 RL> The real value of the herb lies in the fact that many patients are
 RL> spared surgery altogether as the enlargement of the prostate is either
 RL> significantly slowed down or completely halted.
 RL> Epilobium may be taken as a tea or in a capsule form, the healing
 RL> effects are both are the same. the directions are very simple: for
 RL> prostate enlargement it is taken just twice daily as directed before
 RL> breakfast and again half an hour before the evening meal. Prostate
 RL> disorder sufferers have reported that the beneficial effects can be
 RL> felt 
 RL> in just a few days. Of course, it has to be taken for a period of at
 RL> least three months to enable it to help effect full recovery.
 RL> For prostate cancer sufferers, the recommended intake of Epilobium tea
 RL> is four times daily before meals.
 RL> The product has been commercially available in this country for about
 RL> five years now and thousands of Australian men (and their wives) will
 RL> testify to its effectiveness.
 RL> A search of the internet does not reveal any other Epilobium/prostate
 RL> link.
 RL> The sole repository of this knowledge is Adelaide herbalist Hilde
 RL> Hemmes.
 RL> This product has enormous potential in all western societies.
 RL> For further information, testimonials, samples etc. please contact the
 RL> writer.
 RL> Kind Regards
