Rasberries and Natural Cures and Prevention Research"Multiple studies have discovered that phytonutrients found in raspberries can protect us from cancer and can even shrink some types of cancer tumors.
These substances can also act as an antibacterial and as an antiviral agent. Does this sound too good to be true? One particular substance found in this natural "medicine chest", is a series of compounds called ellagitannins.
The highest levels are found in raspberries, but the ellagitannins are also in certain types of grapes, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and some nuts too.
Recent work (2001), published by Dr. Gary Stoner at Ohio State University, showed that components in the seeds and berry, but particularly ellagitannins, inhibited the initiation and promotion/progression stages of esophageal cancer.
This is an extremely important finding, considering the potential benefits." http://www.smdi.org/new_page_3.htm

"The studies found in the left column [of this web page] were compiled by Susan Thorpe-Vargas Ph.D. and represent a summation of EA's known medical properties:EA is an anticancer agent - it protects DNA from mutation.EA shrinks tumors within 72 hours if the cancer is not caused by a mutation in the p53 or WAF 1/p21 genes.
EA is a natural phenolic antioxidant. EA exerts actions that are both anti-bacterial and an anti-viral.
EA appears to inhibit liver fibrosis.EA is cardioprotective and may prove useful in the treatment of myocarditis."http://health.centreforce.com/health/ellagic.html
BLACK RASPBERRIES SLOW CANCER BY ALTERING HUNDREDS OF GENES
COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research strongly suggests that a mix of preventative agents, such as those found in concentrated black raspberries, may more effectively inhibit cancer development than single agents aimed at shutting down a particular gene.
Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center examined the effect of freeze-dried black raspberries on genes altered by a chemical carcinogen in an animal model of esophageal cancer.
Garry D. Stoner
The carcinogen affected the activity of some 2,200 genes in the animals’ esophagus in only one week, but 460 of those genes were restored to normal activity in animals that consumed freeze-dried black raspberry powder as part of their diet during the exposure.
These findings, published in recent issue of the journal Cancer Research, also helped identify 53 genes that may play a fundamental role in early cancer development and may therefore be important targets for chemoprevention agents.
EllagiGuard contains ellagic acid from raspberries and pomegranates, chlorogenic acid from blueberry leaf, graviola, and indole-3-carbinol from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli. These strong antioxidants fight free radicals, support the immune system, and promote your health at the cellular level. It supports a healthy mouth and throat.
Ellagic Acid, a naturally occurring phenolic constituent, occurs naturally in 46 different foods with red raspberry and pomegranate having the highest content. Ellagic acid, a phytochemical, is more water soluble in the natural versus the synthetic forms.
Graviola used in this formula comes from the Peruvian Amazon where indigenous use of the fruit, leaves, and bark of the tree has a long, recorded history.
