Read what it says about ellagic acid and prostate cancer!Ellagic Acidhttp://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/altthrpy.htm#Cayenne%20PepperFound in red raspberries, strawberries, blue berries, and certain nuts, theHollings Cancer Institute at the U of South Carolina recently finished (1999) nyears of study showing that ellagic acid:stops cancer cells from dividing in 48 hourscauses normal cell death (apoptosis) within 72 hours in cases of breast,pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon and prostate cancersprevents

the destruction of the p53 gene that leads to cancercaused apoptosis (normal cell death) in HPV (human papilloma virus)exposed to it one cup (150 grams) per day of red raspberriesprevents the development of cancer cells.From Dr Glen Halvorson's Book, Chemopreventive Properties of …Phytochemicals, welearn that ellagic acid:is anti-bacterial and destroys the H. pylori bacteria responsible for stomachulcers.protects the liver and liver functionbinds with carcinogens (chemicals that cause cancer) making them inactiveprevents carcinogens from binding to DNAreduces glucose levels (aids in management of diabetes).Raspberries contain the highest amounts of ellagic acid, and it doesn't matterif the fruit is boiled, baked, canned, sugared, dehydrated, or fresh, theellagic acid is still potent.One of the most amazing things about raspberries is that one cup per week

stopsprostate cancers (all prostate cancers) from growing for one week.Two more things are currently underway at the Hollings Cancer Institute: they'repatenting a process that extracts the ellagic acid from raspberries and,hopefully, it will not be destroyed in the stomach (ellagic acid, so far, cannotbe taken as a supplement, and must be eaten as the fruit) and they areconducting a double blind (neither patient nor physician knows who's takingwhat) study involving 500 cervical cancer patients.There is a multi-level marketing company that claims to have created a form ofellagic acid that can be taken orally. It is called Ellagic Insurance Formula,and in addition to containing ellagic acid, it also contains OPC's (likePycnogenol®) which are potent flavanoids (like Resveratrol) that act asantioxidants, concentrated Green Tea, and vitamins C, E, A and selenium. Thisis, if it works, a very

powerful cancer fighter and preventative measure. I'msure 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 eatthem on an empty stomach, before you eat anything else, or eat them in organicyogurt, as the curdling of the yogurt in the stomach will protect them. If yourfruit sits in your stomach too long, because you've eaten something prior,stomach acid will destroy its healthful properties.To read more about this wonderful food, go to:http://www.red-raspberry.orgNote:The contents of the posts on FlaxSeedOil2 are purely educational and are not intended to diagnose or treat any illness.
