Ellagic Acid - Destroys H-pylori and Renders Carcinogens Inactive

[Guest guest]

Ellagic Acid

Found in red raspberries, strawberries, blue berries, and certain nuts, the

Hollings Cancer Institute at the U of South Carolina recently finished (1999) n

years of study showing that ellagic acid:

 

stops cancer cells from dividing in 48 hours

 

causes normal cell death (apoptosis) within 72 hours in cases of breast,

pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon and prostate cancers

 

prevents the destruction of the p53 gene that leads to cancer

 

caused apoptosis (normal cell death) in HPV (human papilloma virus)

 

exposed to it one cup (150 grams) per day of red raspberries

prevents the development of cancer cells.

 

From Dr Glen Halvorson's Book, Chemopreventive Properties of …Phytochemicals, we

learn that ellagic acid:

 

is anti-bacterial and destroys the H. pylori bacteria responsible for stomach

ulcers.

 

protects the liver and liver function

 

binds with carcinogens (chemicals that cause cancer) making them inactive

 

prevents carcinogens from binding to DNA

 

reduces glucose levels (aids in management of diabetes).

 

Raspberries contain the highest amounts of ellagic acid, and it doesn't matter

if the fruit is boiled, baked, canned, sugared, dehydrated, or fresh, the

ellagic acid is still potent.

 

One of the most amazing things about raspberries is that one cup per week stops

prostate cancers (all prostate cancers) from growing for one week.

 

Two more things are currently underway at the Hollings Cancer Institute: they're

patenting a process that extracts the ellagic acid from raspberries and,

hopefully, it will not be destroyed in the stomach (ellagic acid, so far, cannot

be taken as a supplement, and must be eaten as the fruit) and they are

conducting a double blind (neither patient nor physician knows who's taking

what) study involving 500 cervical cancer patients.

 

There is a multi-level marketing company that claims to have created a form of

ellagic acid that can be taken orally. It is called Ellagic Insurance Formula,

and in addition to containing ellagic acid, it also contains OPC's (like

Pycnogenol®) which are potent flavanoids (like Resveratrol) that act as

antioxidants, concentrated Green Tea, and vitamins C, E, A and selenium. This

is, if it works, a very powerful cancer fighter and preventative measure. I'm

sure if you type in Ellagic Insurance Formula at any internet search engine,

you'll find a half a ton of sites selling it.

 

Please note: if you are eating raspberries for their ellagic acid you must eat

them on an empty stomach, before you eat anything else, or eat them in organic

yogurt, as the curdling of the yogurt in the stomach will protect them. If your

fruit sits in your stomach too long, because you've eaten something prior,

stomach acid will destroy its healthful properties.
