Fears about COVID-19 can take an emotional toll, but you’re not powerless. Vira-Defense can help you get through these stressful times.

Below is a testimonial from the owner of Starflower, Cherylyn...

In early 2020 I came down with a powerful virus. I am not certain that it was the corona-virus but I knew it was enough to put my body into overdrive trying to fight it. I began taking large doses of Vitamin C along with Vira Defense. In 24 hours I knew I had overcome the worst of it and I was able to function normally, however, I still had to rid my body of the residual damage and fatigue it had left. It took two weeks for the virus to leave my lymph glands and for me and my lymph system to return to normal.

• Vira Defense -2 droppers every 3 hours for 24

What is biodynamics? Biodynamic gardening has been around for nearly a hundred years. This gardening method was invented by scientist-philosopher Rudolf Steiner, who believed that there is more to the health and vitality of a garden than simply the chemical and physical processes we can observe.
