Black Raspherries Transform Cancerous Cells

Researchers at the University of
Pittsburgh found that the pigmentation
chemical in grapes that gives grape
skins their color biologically transforms
human cancerous cells while leaving healthy
cells intact. The compound, an antioxidant
that occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables,
is a type of proanthocyanidin, an antioxidant
common in plants.

Scientists knew that proanthocyanidins had
cancer-fighting properties and decided to focus
on one of the most common types, cyanidin-3-rutinoside
(C-3-R). Although it is abundant in grape skins
and pine bark, scientists used C-3-R purified
from black raspberries and tested it on several
lines of human leukemia cells. They repeated the
test using human lymphoma cells.

At low doses of C-3-R, half of the cancerous cells
in all lines died within 18 hours. When the dose
was more than doubled, all of the cancerous cells
died within 18 hours. Researchers repeated the
experiment several times using different types of
leukemia cells and got similar results.

When treated with C-3-R, cancerous cells produced
peroxides, a type of free radical (hydorgen ions)
that caused them to die. But when C-3-R was used
on normal human blood cells, the production of
peroxides wasn't increased and there appeared to
be no toxic effects.

"Common treatments for leukemia, such as chemotherapy
and radiation, will damage healthy cells and tissues
and can produce unwanted side effects for many years
afterward," said Dr. Xiao-Ming Yin, an associate
professor of pathology at the University of Pittsburg
School of Medicine. "So there is an intensive search
for more targeted therapies for leukemia worldwide.

"If we can reproduce these anticancer effects in
animal studies," Yin said, "this will present a very
promising approach for treating a variety of human
leukemias and, perhaps, lymphomas as well."

According to the National Cancer Institute,
approximately 44,000 new leukemia cases will be
diagnosed this year in the United States, and
about 22,000 people will die from the dis-ease
needlessly. Especially when the most powerful
antioxidant is now available - Glutathione.

Over the past thirty years, researchers have
explored the role of antioxidants in good health
as well as the treatment and prevention of diseases
involving oxidation or fermentation by metabolic
acids.

Well known and widely used antioxidants such as
vitamin A, vitamin E and selenium neutralize acid.
They occur naturally in nature, but not in the body.
They must be introduced as part of a balanced diet.

Given the critical role of antioxidants in good health,
it is not surprising that the body itself manufactures
its own natural antioxidants. The most important of
these is glutathione. Because all other antioxidants
depend upon the presence of glutathione to function
properly, scientists call it 'the master antioxidant.'

Glutathione binds to acidic toxins that can cause
cancerous cells, forming a water-soluble complex -
which is ultimately excreted in the urine or bile
as waste.

So rather then eating red grapes, drinking red wine
(the red grapes contain too much sugar making them acid
forming and red wine contains the acid alcohol) or
eating pine bark for their anitoxidant benefits may
I suggest glutathione.(No sugar and No alcohol)

In my opinion one teaspoon or 433 mgs. of glutathione a
day is a great way to prevent excess acidity that can
ferment or spoil body cells (cancerous cells) and help
maintain the alkaline design of your body.

PS In GOURMET Magazine a few months ago there was a very
emotionally disturbing article on the cruel death
of 9 Billion chickens a year!

How many chickens do, just U. S. consumers, eat in
an single year?

Answer: 9 BILLION!! That's Nine, with a "9",
and Billion, with a "B"!!

Chickens are one of my top ten foods never to
eat. Why? Because chickens do not have a urinary
tract system so they are more likely to absorb their
own urine. But, it's the chicken urine that makes
them tender and juicy.

Just another reason to think Alkalarian and give
up eating acidic 'FOUL'!
