If you look after your health you have probably heard of antioxidants. They are the good guys who fight the ‘free-radicals’. Here’s what Dr Chandra of the World Health Organization says about antioxidants: “To date, some sixty diseases have been associated with free radical damage, and each human cell receives at least 10,000 damaging hits from free radicals every day. So by taking antioxidants we increase our immunity as they act as a scavenging system to free radicals”. Antioxidants can be taken in tablet form or in liquid form in a drink such as Pomesteen.
I have personal experience of how antioxidants can improve health. A couple of days before Christmas 1999 I was ill with pancreatitis. Although I was 55 at the time I had never had any serious illnesses so this came as quite a shock. I was taken to my local hospital where I spent 3 weeks. Most of that time I was on a drip and unable to eat or drink. During the last 2 or 3 days I was allowed to eat and once I had proved I was able to keep the food inside me I was allowed home.
When I got home I searched the Internet to see if there was a treatment for pancreatitis and found that a hospital about 100 miles away had been successfully treating the illness for more than 20 years with a combination of vitamins – all antioxidants. The dosage was a lot higher than the recommended daily intake and I should stress that any reader should not exceed the recommended dose unless instructed to by a medical practitioner. It works! I am pleased to say that since starting the antioxidant treatment I have not experienced further attacks of pancreatitis.When I got home I searched the Internet fro treatment for pancreatitis and found that the Manchester Royal Infirmary had for the past 20 years been successfully treating the illness with a combination of vitamins – antioxidants. To cut a long story short I now take a daily dose of antioxidants and I have not had any more problems. As pancreatitis is a life threatening illness, antioxidants may well have saved my life.|Those with medical knowledge may know that the usual causes of pancreatitis are excess alcohol consumption or gall stones. I have never really been a drinker and certainly have never drunk to excess, and my gall bladder is fine. My pancreatitis was diagnosed as ‘idiopathic’, which means peculiar to me. So the improvement to my health was down to the antioxidants and, I suppose, the Internet as without that I would never have found the treatment.|When I got home I searched the Internet for treatment for pancreatitis and found that for the last 20 years a hospital in Manchester was successfully treating pancreatitis with a combination of vitamins and minerals, mainly antioxidants. The quantities I take each day are above the normal dose and you should do this only if your medical adviser has prescribed this, but it works for me.[/spin]
