I didn’t know anything about the power of antioxidants (except that they were good for me) UNTIL,…my childbecame ill with an (unresolvable) health condition.

Then my wife attended American Medical Association certified completely unaware of.

Here’s some of what my wifelearned as we found complete recovery for our son’s health challenge,…via the power of antioxidants in nature (instead of using symptom suppressing toxic drugs that often have significant negative side effects).

1. The marketing label you see in the health food store regarding antioxidant (ORAC=Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) can be mis-leading.

2. Over 90 products from the shelves were randomly analyzed and here’s what they found regarding antioxidant levels:

Three “antioxidant” containing products actually had a pro-oxidizing effect — that means they acted the opposite of how they were advertised.
1800 units of lab tested ORAC value was the average of the other 87 products.
There was no industry test for checking “fat soluble” antioxidant capacity (only the water soluble capacity was being addressed) - so such a test was developed and has become industry standard now.
The highest product tested had an ORAC (water soluble) capacity of just over 5,000 units of protection per gram.

3. From these test results, one nutraceutical company chose to learn what foods the longest living cultures in the world tend to consume and what foods these cultures attributed their longevity to. They flew around the world seeking these answers and then,…because some of the plants/fruits associated with longevity couldn’t be grown properly in the U.S., they established agreements with these countries to flash freeze dry and then ship the ingredients to the U.S.

This particular blend (adding more of one antioxidant is not as powerful as a synergistic blend to the human body) rated well when tested with both ORAC lab tests and blood serum levels:
Over 17,000 Units of Protection per gram and 200% more antioxidant protection than adding 5 fresh fruits and vegetables
That’s nearly 10 times the protection of the average product on the market and
About 3x the level of protection of the most potent antioxidant currently available on the health food shelves - and it’s not more expensive!

On the first item, Here’s how some marketers mislead with their ORAC labels. They state the bottles entire ORAC level of protection, versus comparing units of antioxidant protection per gram or per equal serving. Then, you must divide this amount by the total number of servings per container, to get actual ORAC per serving.
On a recent health food store visit the top product they could show me boasted 2,000 units, with 10 servings per container = 200 ORAC. That’s really close to nothing compared to 17,000 units of protection. Buyer Beware.

If you want to learn more, including WHY antioxidant protection is EXTREMELY Important - according to AMA CE classes we learned from…

You’ll see our son’s real life, short story and learn that DEET chemicals have been found in Peguins (floated to the poles via the jetstream they expect) - you think there may be toxicity around you? How about the 100 cites tested - all positive for antibiotics in their drinking water — do you understand the vast oxidative stress this puts on our bodies?
