The bark of the European coastal pine, Pinus maritima, is a rich source of excellent antioxidants called OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins). OPCs are bioflavonoids — a group of substances now receiving intense study because their ability to reduce free radical damage makes them promising agents for preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease and various chronic diseases of aging. The impressive list of effects shown or implied by recent studies of OPCs includes: Greater protection against free radicals and DNA damage than is provided by vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene; Selective toxicity to human breast-, lung-, and gastric-cancer cells; Protection against drug-induced liver and kidney damage, tobacco-induced DNA damage, UV-induced skin damage, and chemotherapy-induced toxicity; Preventing heart damage from oxygen deprivation; strengthening blood vessels, repairing varicose veins, . . .

You already know that harsh ultraviolet rays in sunlight will damage and age your skin, and greatly increase your risk of skin cancer. But some exposure to the sun is unavoidable, even if you don?t sunbathe ... so what is one to do? Research in mice has shown that Vitamin E, when applied directly to the skin, protects the skin from the initial damage that occurs with exposure to UV. Not only do the Vitamin E molecules act as a screen against the UV light (as a sunblocker would), they also soak up the DNA-damaging free radicals which are generated when UV light penetrates cells. One 2-ounce jar of our Magic E Cream contains natural Vitamin E along with carriers to take it into the skin and hold it there while it does its work. This product is intended to protect the skin against exposure to UV radiation, free-radical damage, and skin cancer.

Grape seed extract (GSE), from the seeds of red grapes (Vitis vinifera), have a high content of flavonoid compounds known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). OPCs have exceptional antioxidant properties — they are far more effective than vitamins C or E in reducing free radical and oxidative damage to body tissues. This suggests that they may be particularly effective in reducing the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and some diseases associated with aging. Studies using human breast cancer and lung cancer cells revealed that GSE was able to cause the death of the cancer cells, while maintaining the growth and viability of the normal cells. In a study of tobacco-induced cell- and DNA-damage, GSE reduced damage and cell death by as much as 85%. When GSE was added to human blood plasma, it inhibited the oxidation of LDL — oxidized LDL is a major promoter of . . .

There are a hundred or more varieties of plants that are called chaparral. The one that is used medicinally is Larrea divaricata. The most famous chaparral account surrounds an 87-year old man who had had three operations for melanoma (on his face) before deciding to try another approach to his situation. He was completely cured by use of chaparral in a tea form. It took several months, but he regained his vitality and recovered the weight he had lost. There is not much consensus as to what produces these remarkable results. Most researchers attribute the effects to nordihydroguaiaretic acid or NDGA. This is an antioxidant that is often added to oils to prevent rancidity, but it seems to have other benefits, including protecting tissue from damage when exposed to carcinogens. Studies show that NDGA may also inhibit cell proliferation as well as DNA synthesis. Chaparral may also be . . .

The Poly-Zyme supplements are combinations of enzymes having different purposes or methods of use: Poly-Zyme 021 is used as an aid for digestion and immune system normalization. Poly-Zyme 022 and 023 are used by cancer patients to prevent metastases, and by people with herpes infections, such as shingles. All three supplements draw from the following repertoire of enzymes and flavonoids: the proteolytic enzymes pancreatin, papain, bromelain, trypsin, and chymotrypsin cleave proteins into fragments; the enzyme lipase cleaves fats; the enzyme amylase cleaves carbohydrates; the bioflavonoid rutin, an antioxidant, reduces DNA damage and cancer, and is thought to strengthen the walls of blood vessels. thymus concentrate, from calf thymus, contains a variety of thymic proteins, some of which regulate parts of the immune system. Regarding the formulations and use of these products: Poly-Zyme . . .
