The Only Tree Every Prepper Should Grow in His Own Backyard

A superfood tree has been quietly making its way into many American backyards.
If you can spot this peaceful invader he'll provide you with food (all parts are edible), water (it can purify it), more protein and calcium than milk, four times the iron of spinach and... a LOT more:

The Tree That Every Prepper Should Grow in His Backyard

I planted one in my backyard and was absolutely blown away by how fast it grew - over 4' feet in just 2 months.
Best of all, this tree already grows in many American backyards, so see if it grows in your own backyard as well.

"We have lost the war on cancer."

In 1940s one person in twenty would get cancer.
In the 1970s it was one out of every sixteen people.
In the 1990s it dropped to one person out of ten.
Today, one person out of three gets cancer in the course of their life.
And all because of this THIS TINY PLANT we've excluded from our diet.
Your doctor doesn't know about it and if you think the modern cancer approach works...think again.
Oncologists are the only doctors who profit from the treatment they prescribe with as much as 2/3 of their income coming from chemotherapy drugs.
Which work half the time, if you're lucky.
But one man did know about this plant and many other plants he used for decades to treat and cure thousands of Americans.
