A True Story Of How Antioxidants Can Enhance Your Immune System



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.

A month later I returned for a check-up and was told I had experienced a life-threatening illness for which there was no cure and it would probably happen again. As you can imagine I left the hospital feeling very low! But the doctor was right: it did happen again that Easter. This time I was in a different part of the country and spent 4 weeks in hospital. Once again I was told there was no preventative medication. 

When I got home I searched the Internet for 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.

Relieve From Constipation Naturally | Relief and Remedies

I try to drink when I start to worry about constipation. I introduce what I try to drink when I begin to worry about constipation. I always have bread and coffee for breakfast every morning. Because, if you don't drink coffee in the morning, you'll soon become constipated. Coffee is indispensable because I want to go to the restroom immediately because constipation is canceled immediately if coffee is drunk without fail. I make hot coffee immediately when i begin to worry about the tension and constipation of the stomach and not only in the morning and i drink it. Even if it is not an instant coffee made at home, the coffee bought somewhere on the go works well, and it comes to want to drink coffee immediately when constipation is anxious.

It does not cost money, and it has the immediate effect, and it is not poss...
