Animals were studied in Turkey on chemically related arthritis. Scientists injected irritant material directly into the joints of animals. Indeed those animals treated with Resvertrol injected directly into their joints showed only mild inflammation, compared with the control group. 

Indeed, Resveratrol and other anti-inflammatory natural substances such as Fish Oils may actually be able to replace pharmaceuticals and other drugs such as aprin, which as we know have inherent side effects such as bleeding ulcers.

Dr. Joseph Maroon took over 200 patients who were on Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra or Ibuprofen, and treated them with pharmaceutical-grade Fish Oils. Their positive results were published in Surgical Neurology in 2007. According to Dr. Maroon, “I looked into the mechanism through which fish oil was effective and discovered that it worked along the same pathways as Resveratrol.”

In a September 2009 edition of Bottom Line Health, Dr. Maroon recommends the following foods in addition to taking a mixed-polyphenol (Resveratrol + Red Wine grape polyphenols) supplement. He states, “I recommend the mixed-polyphenol supplement Vindure 900 developed by Vinomis Laboratories based on Harvard University research.”

EXCERPT from the Article: The Simple Supplement that May Prevent Killer Diseases. All about resveratrol.

Red Wine or Red Grape Juice. Wine grapes with the most resveratrol include pinot noir, merlot, grenache, cabernet sauvignon, and termpranillo. (These wines also deliver up to about 500 different polyphenols along with resveratrol) Suggested daily intake: 4 – 16 ounces for men and up to 6 ounces for women.

Pomegranate Juice. It is a good source of resveratrol and many other antioxidants. Suggested daily intake: 3 – 5 ounces

Dark Chocolate. It is a rich source of concentrated flavonols, a potent type of polyphenol. Select unsweetened or semi-sweetened varieties with at least 70% cocoa. Suggested daily intake: One bite-sized square.

Green Tea. Green tea contains resveratrol and is rich in epigallo-catechin gallate (EGCG) and other polyphenols.Suggested daily intake: 3 eight-ounce cups. Decaffeinated green tea contains EGCG but relatively little resveratro.

Blueberries. They are rich in procyanidins and other polyphenols. Suggested daily intake: At least 1 cup (fresh or frozen).

Top Five Cancer-Causing Foods

• Hot dogs
• Processed meats and bacon
• Doughnuts
• French fries
• Chips, crackers, cookies (other packaged goods too)

These products contain: hydrogenated oils (trans fats), which, besides being a cancer factor, promote heart  disease and belly fat; acrylamides, which are created during the frying process; and sodium nitrite (and nitrates), which are added to processed meats, hot dogs, bacon, and any other meat that needs a reddish color to look “fresh.” During digestion, sodium nitrate is converted to nitrosamine, which is a carcinogen, or cancer-causing agent.

So should you immediately stop eating all of these foods? Yes, if you can and have the willpower. More likely, try and stop eating so much of them. The next time you reach for any packaged food in a box in the supermarket, think again. A hot dog at a ball game is fun with the family, but try cooking fish or chicken at the next family bar-b-que. French fries are surely tough to give up, but try making your own and use olive oil instead of eating those at a fast food restaurant.

And the next time you think of these foods, think Dr. Maroon, think longevity, think Resveratrol and Red Wine grape extracts, and think Vinomis
