Regina Meredith, from Conscious Media Network, interviews John Easterling about the origins and practices of Amazon Herbs and the concept of a Circle of Benefit. Amazon John Easterling, who holds a degree in Environmental Studies from the University of North Carolina, spent many years searching the Amazon Rainforest for treasures and ancient artifacts. During his years of exploration in the Rainforest, he was introduced to the traditional use of medicinal plants. After a health crisis and life-changing experience using these botanicals, a simple truth became clear: The real treasure of the Rainforest is, in fact, the life-enhancing properties of the Rainforest plants. A NATURAL EVOLUTION FROM HEALTH PRACTITIONERS TO YOU This discovery led to an exciting, cooperative enterprise with health care practitioners in several countries. For years, Amazon Herb Co. formulas were only available from these practitioners. When satisfied patients began sharing their results with others, more and more people wanted to experience the positive benefits of the botanicals. As demand spread by word-of-mouth, it didnt take long before Amazon Herb Co. embraced a new model of distribution. Now, with the introduction of ZAMU™, a revolutionary organic Rainforest camu blend, the real treasure of the Rainforest is available to everyone.
This video contains views of the Amazon rainforest during the wet season. Rivers flood the forest far inland making it possible to navigate deep in the forest by canoe and small boats. The video contains images and clips of the Bora indian tribe as well as of animals that live in the area. All my pictures as well as clips were possible during my 4 day stay at the Amazon Rainforest Lodge during some of the excursions provided by the lodge. The main purpose of this video is to create awareness among people and help protect the world’s natural resources.

Now the development of these oil fields is being blamed for poisoning the indigenous people. The Amazon rainforest used to be one of the purest environments on earth. But the discovery of oil and arrival of Texaco changed everything. “After Texaco came, people who bathed in the river and drank the water got cancer and died,” laments one local. Carcinogens from Texaco’s toxic oil pits are believed to have leached into the water supply and poisoned the land. Cancer rates in the area have doubled. “Hundreds of men, women and children have died,” laments Luis Yanza from the Amazon Defence Front. He’s launched a legal challenge to force Texaco to clean up the land. “This case sends a powerful message to oil companies all over the world,” explains lawyer Steve Donziger. But Texaco is vigorously fighting the case. It refutes all allegations of wrongdoing and claims the pits pose no health risk. “The records will show that we are good corporate citizens and we will prevail in the end,” proclaims Ricardo Reis Veiga, Texaco’s chief council. But for some of the poisoned locals, any verdict will come to late. As one victim laments: “Everything is ruined. All my organs are finished. Now there’s nothing.” Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures
