Frozen Assets

Cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, lingonberries, black
currants, bilberries…The berry research is coming fast and furious
now, and all of it looks very promising.

Different berries contain different combinations of health benefits,
but generally they are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids such as
quercetin and anthocyanin, fiber, and folic acid. They also appear
to have some of the highest antioxidant levels compared to any
other fresh fruit, and even most fresh vegetables. Only spinach and
kale come close to the antioxidant levels present in red berries,
according to the ORAC test (see What is…below).

Could berries become the next hot dietary supplement? Anything
is possible -- although it looks like the old-fashioned method of
eating them might be your best bet.

The nutrients in berries appear to be more bioavailable when
they're in their natural food form. The term bioavailable refers to
the degree in which a food or nutrient can be absorbed and fully
utilized by the body.

In a recent study of Finnish men, those who ate 100 grams of
berries daily had 32-51 percent higher blood levels of quercetin --
widely regarded as a top cancer-preventing flavonoid.

One of the things I most liked about this particular study is that
they used frozen berries instead of fresh. The researchers reasoned
that because the season for berries is so short, most people
probably resort to frozen most of the year -- so that's what they
studied. Not only are the researchers right about the availability-
factor of frozen berries, but they also did our wallets a favor by
choosing this form, since frozen berries are often cheaper than
fresh. 

So fresh or frozen berries will do the trick. Just beware of
sweetened versions or those that come in any sort of syrup -- the
added sugar will only negate the berries' beneficial effects.

            "Perfect Cure" for Heart Disease

* LDL cholesterol cut 64%
* Angina relieved better than nitroglycerin
* High blood pressure reversed just enough
* Congestive heart failure patients improved in just 2 weeks
* And so astonishingly cheaply...

A "dream team" including many of today's most famous names in
alternative medicine unveiled the results of new clinical
studies that, they said, shocked even them. In repeated
tests, one astonishing herb wiped out 5 of today's deadliest
heart and artery problems. Not only that...find out more:

Back to the good old (pain-free) days

Q: I am 63-years-old and have had rheumatoid arthritis since I was
24. I have managed the condition naturally all these years. I take
lots of vitamins and supplements, but they aren't helping like they
used to. Do you have any suggestions?

JVW: Both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis are highly likely to be
linked to food allergies. Milk and dairy are almost always major
allergens in this form of arthritis. Eliminating nightshade
vegetables like potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers might also be
helpful. And increasing your consumption of essential fatty acids,
preferably through supplementing with fish oil, will also provide a
natural anti-inflammatory effect. Generally, I recommend taking 1
tablespoonful of cod liver oil with 400 I.U. of vitamin E as mixed
tocopherols twice daily. If you haven't already taken these steps,
doing so now might bring you quick and even dramatic relief.

However, if what you have been doing since you were 24 to
manage the condition seems to be working less and less as you get
older, there is another highly likely culprit. Over the years,
multiple studies have reported a high incidence of stomach
malfunction in people who have rheumatoid arthritis – specifically,
low levels of hydrochloric acid and pepsin. Since this is a common
occurrence for all of us as we age, it may be something you want
to get checked out right away.

While this condition is relatively easy to correct by supplementing
with hydrochloric acid/pepsin capsules, you should still work
closely with a doctor who can monitor your progress and make
sure that you're using the correct doses. It's important to note that
hydrochloric acid should never be used at the same time as aspirin,
Butazolidin, Inodicin, Motrin, or any other anti-inflammatory
medication.

         FINALLY! SOMETHING OTHER THAN GLUCOSAMINE
                TO STAVE OFF JOINT DISCOMFORT

Do you remember the last time you rolled out of bed without
feeling stiff and sore? Can you imagine swinging a golf club,
or spending the afternoon gardening...without paying for it
with days of discomfort? Now you can!

Scientists in New Zealand discovered a new alternative in the fight
to keep joints healthy…

Let’s face it – today’s typical glucosamine and chondroitin supplements
don’t work for everyone. Leaving thousands to face the discomfort of aging
joints – with not much more than drugs or surgery to look forward to. Now,
there’s a new natural alternative...
It's time to maintain your mobility and freedom - for many painless years
to come. Visit below to find out more:

  What is…ORAC?

ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorptive capacity, and it is a
unique test of total antioxidant capacity that is quickly becoming
the standard by which all foods are being measured and compared.
It specifically measures both the degree to which a sample inhibits
the action of an oxidizing agent and how long it takes to do so.

Right now, ORAC testing is performed in a test tube. Researchers
are working with equipment manufacturers to develop an
instrument for a wider application of the assay in analyzing food,
blood and other types of samples.

Berries score very high on the ORAC chart, as do many of the
brightly colored fruits. Spinach and kale score highest in the
vegetable category. And for an occasional treat, chocolate appears
to be a high-ORAC food as well.

As high-ORAC foods come up looking better and better in
research, you might start hearing the term "high-ORAC" as often
as you hear "low-carb" today.
