SPIRULINA
In an article in the book ALIVE, it is stated "Spirulina is the earth's most nutritious food, a rich source of vitamin B-12 and Protein." Sixty-five percent of its weight is easily digested biologically. It is a complete protein. (Beef is only 22% protein). Pant enzymes found in all living cells are the driving force behind every biochemical action that takes place in nature. Neither vitamins, minerals nor protein can do any work in their absence. Without enzymes life itself would be impossible. Spirulina contains up to 70% vegetable protein, 8% amino acids, Vitamin A, C, F and B-12. The B-12 contents are 250 times more than found in beef liver. Spirulina also contains minerals salts, olego-elements, beta-carotene, xanthophyll, iron, calcium, phosphorus, etc. It is extremely elective when combined with Korean Ginseng.

Since 1990 Spirulina has been donated to radiation clinics for the children of Chernobyl. Spirulina has been used as medicine for the promotion of immunity of Chernobyl. Studies show that among 270 children living in highly radioactive areas, the amount of IgE was greatly above the normal parameters. Elevation of IgE in the blood shows the characteristics of typical allergies. Deriving from this study elevated IgE in the blood is considered a marker for high allergy sensitivity in the body.
Adding Spirulina normalizes levels of IgE and protects kidneys from Mercury poisoning. The end result is normalization of allergies in the body. Thirty-five preschool children(20 boys and 15 girls) who were constantly living in highly radioactive areas were prescribed Spirulina for 45 days. Ages 3-5 were given tablets twice a day and ages 5-7 were given 7 tablets a day. All their IgE levels were tested before and after using Spirulina. The levels wavered from 17 to 1663 Mkg/l/l. The same testing was performed on 15 children not using Spirulina. The IgE levels in the blood did not change. (Spirulina for this research was grown at Earthrise Farms in California).

Proanthacyanidins - the marvelous nutrients are especially hard hit by modern food technology.
Proanthacyanidins are the most powerful natural free radical scavengers and antioxidants. Free radicals may hurt you more than they should because they increase oxidative damage to vital tissues.
In vitro (outside body) laboratory studies have shown the Proanthacyanidins to be 50 times more effective than Vitamin E as an antioxidant. It readily crosses the blood-brain barrier to protect vital brain and nerve tissue from oxidation. Proanthacyanidins inhibit chemicals that cause inflammation. They reduce histamine production thereby eliminating inflammation. They help the lining of arteries resist attack by those mutagens which can cause cardiovascular disease. They restore capillary integrity and improve circulation making it a little easier for each cell to get the food it needs. Improved circulation is especially valuable to smokers, diabetics, stroke victims, arthritic, women taking oral contraceptives and persons with swollen, edematous legs. Proanthacyanidins have the unique ability to bond collagen fibers and to help rebuild their cross links to reverse some of the damage done over the years by injury and free radical attack. Proanthacyanidins even inhibit the natural enzymes your body makes that normally break down collagen. All cells in the human body are glued together with collagen. By restoring collagen, Proanthacyanidins help return flexibility to skin, joints, arteries, capillaries and other tissue. We also have another product that works well. Try this: Grapeseed

They are found in the white pulp of citrus fruits, plums, blackberries (the most popular and powerful fruit antioxident known), black currants, apricots, buckwheat, cherries and rose hips. A very powerful and potent blend of Bioflavinoids has been used clinically in Europe for many years and is extracted from grape seed and the bark of a specific type Pine Tree, The Maritime Pine.
