Today, olive leaf is becoming increasingly well-known and appreciated outside of olive-growing regions, as science on its benefits expands. Olive leaf extract is made, as the name suggests, from the leaves of the olive tree.
One of the primary compounds in olive leaf, a substance called oleuropein, has attracted scientific attention since the early 1900s. Although you may not be familiar with it, Olive Leaf Extract has been around for years, and was even trialed as an anti-malaria preparation in the 1920′s! An iridoid by definition, oleuropein exhibits antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity, and is useful for fighting various types of internal infections. Oleuropein also appears to increase the body’s production of thermogenin, a substance that helps us to burn fat more efficiently.
In early studies, oleuropein demonstrated blood pressure-lowering properties. Studies conducted in Milan have shown that this compound is a potent antioxidant, inhibiting the oxidation of lipids in the blood, and lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The health benefits of Olive Leaf Extract are actually very wide-ranging, but the single most important thing it can offer us, is its huge antioxidant power.
Antioxidants work by “soaking up” free radicals; free radicals are created as a result of the millions of chemical reactions that happen in our bodies all day, every day, that produce our energy, and keep our systems moving. These free radicals crash about inside our cells and can cause huge amounts of damage.
Did you know that free radicals are thought to cause the aging of our cells, which on a large scale, means the aging of our skin! Free radicals can also cause some cancers, and even heart disease.
That’s when our tiny superhero, the antioxidant, saves the day, by mopping up these rogue free radicals, and keeping us looking young, radiant and healthy. Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant, and is relied upon by millions of people worldwide to keep illness at bay; So when you consider that olive leaf extract has 400% more antioxidant power than vitamin C, and twice as much as green tea extract, you know how much of a punch it can pack!

As well as helping keep your heart healthy, and cancer at bay, olive leaf extract also seems to be a formidable opponent to viruses. This is because it contains oleuropein, a chemical also found in olive oil that gives it its slightly bitter taste.
Oleuropein is able to stop viruses in their tracks, by neutralizing the enzymes that are vital for the virus to replicate itself and spread. Although research is ongoing, olive leaf extract may one day be an important weapon in the fight against devastating viruses like meningitis and AIDS.

leaf extract also acts as an anti-inflammatory. Like oxidation, inflammation is a key factor in chronic and degenerative diseases. Studies additionally suggest that olive leaf extract may protect against nerve damage, and may be of value in cases of stroke.

This same chemical in the extract also has the ability to dissolve nasty bacteria and fungi, like the candida fungus that causes thrush; olive leaf extract is actually recommended in the candida diet, which attempts to both starve the fungus of nutrients, and breakdown the microbes, so your immune system can tackle the problem more easily.

In the world of medicinal plants, it is often the case that traditional use of plants precedes, by centuries, the science that corroborates the same uses. This is certainly true with olive leaf. Regarded as somewhat of a tonic cure-all in ancient times, olive leaf and olive leaf extracts appear to promote better health overall and help to ward off a variety of serious health disorders.
Even though the leaf of the olive tree is far less well-known than the fruits of the tree and the precious oil derived from them, a steadily growing body of science points to the leaf as highly valuable, and worthy of its ancient medicinal reputation.

Through a carefully controlled process the combined ingredients of fresh olive leaf extract and
fermented papaya leaf produce a complex mix of highly available bioactive compounds.
The combination of ingredients in Rochway Olive Leaf Extracts with MultiplyPLUS offers protective health benefits and potent immune boosting effects. The L. acidophilus probiotics, antioxidants, enzymes and olive leaves act synergistically to improve overall health and bolster the immune system.

Olive Leaf Extract is available in 500ml liquid and 60 capsule bottles.

Olive Leaf Extract with MultiplyPLUS is manufactured by BJP Laboratories in Brisbane, Rochway’s own manufacturing plant. This facility is regulated by the TGA (Therapeutical Goods Administration) one of the strictest regulatory boards in the world.
This product is made without the use of herbicides or pesticides and is therefore certified to be non genetically modified (Organic/GMO free).

Papaya is one of the richest sources of Antioxidants up to twenty times more powerful than Vitamin E. Recent studies also show it could help prevent and fight cancer.
Papayas are rich in protein digesting enzymes, such as Papain, which offer enormous benefits to digestive health. As digestive health and immunity decline as we age, papayas have been recognised as an excellent anti-ageing fruit. Green papayas are natural cleansers as the high concentration of enzymes can dissolve debris, mucus and old tissue.

There is also a definite correlation between weight loss and papaya enzymes.

Papayas contain Papain a digestive enzyme which is documented to be antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral.
Papain is able to break down and help digest meats and proteins. It's utility is in breaking down tough meat fibres and this is essential in a weight-loss regime. There are two more enzymes that assist weight loss.
Alpha Amylase helps break down and digest starches and carbohydrates. It breaks large, insoluble starch molecules into soluble starches - producing successively smaller starches and ultimately maltose.
Protease enzymes are effective at breaking down and processing protein. Protease enzymes are very important in digestion as they breakdown the peptide bonds in the protein foods to liberate the amino acids needed by the body.

Each patient gets told by his doctor that he/she must take their antibiotic exactly as prescribed. The reason being that a incorrect or too low dosage may cause a resistance to that specific bacteria. In animal breeding, however, these general rules obviously do not always apply: animals receive antibiotics not only for acute disease, but also as a preventative measure. Many poultry farms for example, do not just treat the individual sick animal with antibiotics but the entire live stock wanting to prevent the spread of infection! The problem is that the massive use of antibiotics increases the risk of bacteria becoming resistant to it.

This happens especially when antibiotics are used as growth promoters in low doses. Due to the growing concern over the transmission and proliferation of resistant bacteria via the food chain, the European Union (EU) in 2006 banned antibiotic growth promoters to be used as additives in animal nutrition. The recent food scandals have shown that we, the consumer, are often left in the dark. Beginning of March it was reported in the German press, that during a self-monitoring test, a food manufacturer found that turkey exceeded the threshold for antibiotic by 27times! 13 tons of turkey could not be traced or retrieved by the authorities. Stricter measures have to be taken towards offenders and a constant monitoring should be guaranteed.

The United States has tried to regulate animal antibiotic for nearly 40 years. In 1977, the FDA announced a ban on some agricultural uses of antibiotics, but Congress subsequently passed resolutions forbidding these bans and the FDA removed them. Since then efforts by the FDA to ban non-therapeutic uses of antibiotics in animals have not been successful. Recently, the FDA finished accepting public comments on their proposal to phase in the elimination of certain antibiotics used to stimulate animal growth and phase in requirements for meat and poultry producers to get a prescription before administering specific antibiotics to animals.

The main concern isn’t that the antibiotics will be transferred to you or your family, but that they will increase the antibiotic resistance of bacteria that we all contend with. Experts warn that there are already many strains of bacteria that no longer respond to antibiotics.
According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of the antibiotic fluoroquinone in chickens, fluoroquinone-resistant bacteria began showing up in humans.
In addition to the dangers of ingesting the antibiotic-resistant bacteria, it’s also possible for drug-resistant bacteria to transfer their genetic material to other bacteria. This means that if you consume a harmless “bug” carrying a resistance-causing gene, that gene could be passed to a more harmful form of bacteria that’s already in your body, making it antibiotic resistant.

As antibiotics not only kill the destructive bacteria but also the friendly ones that keep fungi in check, they also encourage yeast and other fungus infections. Often diarrhea occurs after a round of antibiotics because the friendly bacteria die and no longer provide aid in digesting foods.
One in five people, discontinue their course of antibiotics due to diarrhea.

One way of effectively combating antibiotic-induced diarrhea, and preventing yeast infections is supplementing your diet with probiotics, therefore probiotic supplementation has become a necessity in today’s lifestyle.

The bacteria inside of us can make a tremendous difference to the way that we look and feel. Probiotics are a great way of introducing beneficial bacteria to your system, especially when a course of antibiotics has affected the balance of the gut flora. It has been proven that probiotics have no adverse effects on the antibiotics themselves, so will not interfere with treatment.

The words “probiotics” and “antibiotics” originate from Greek, and the mere translation of their meaning – “for life” and “against life” clearly show the crucial difference in their effect. Probiotics protect and enhance our life. They help the immune system work more efficiently. When the immune response is increased the body helps heal itself and prevent further infection.

The results of recent research have led to a dramatic breakthrough in determining the most powerful natural immune stimulant. Studies comparing Rochway’s – MulitplyPlus Probiotic (fermented Papaya) formula have found:
The Centre for Phytochemistry at Southern Cross University in Australia has completed a series of tests on Rochway’s MultiplyPLUS probiotic formula. The tests show MultiplyPLUS to be 200% more effective as an anti-bacterial (phagocytic activity), and about 70% more effective as an anti-viral (natural killer cell activity). It also reveals that Rochway’s MultiplyPLUS has shown a significant increase of up to 49% in anti-viral (NKCA) activity and up to 36% in anti-bacterial (Phagocytic) activity.
(Official report)

Papaya Leaf Extract and Papaya 35 MultiplyPLUS is available in 500 ml liquid and 60 capsule bottles.
Papaya is one of the world’s most research products with more than 80 research publications for its health giving benefits.

In a pH of 8.0 or greater, cancer cells and cancer-causing pathogenic microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungus) cannot survive. At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live.
Maintaining proper body cell and tissue pH is critical for staying healthy and creating an inhospitable environment for cancer cells and virus-bacteria-fungus to multiply. Most people are born into this world with a pH near or at (neutral pH). If you can keep your body tissue pH somewhere between 6.5 – 7.0 it is very difficult to get sick.

How does the body become Acidic?
Nearly all those with cancer have high acidity. There are two main reasons for a high acidic body environment. The first and most significant is prolonged stress. This causes a depletion of adrenaline in the body’s cells. It is the job of adrenaline to remove / utilize glucose (sugar) from the body’s cells for energy for the body. Depleted adrenaline results in a build up of glucose (sugar) in the body’s cells, and restricts oxygen to cells, causing a break in the krebs cycle of the cell and cell mutation. Pathogenic (harmful) microbes (virus, bacteria, fungus) inhabit cancer cells and feed on this glucose causing fermentation. The body becomes acidic (low pH) due to the waste by-products of these pathogenic microbes fermentating glucose in cancer cells and also fermentation of stress hormones. The second is poor nutrition / diet. Every food has a pH value from very acidic to very alkaline. Eating too many acidifying foods – like processed sugar, meat, dairy, coffee, alcohol, etc. – create an ACID environment in the body. The overload of these acids can overwhelm the body’s
ability to neutralize them.
This is why those who eat certain types of foods are more or less at risk of certain types of cancers.
References to extracts above

An Acid body means a weak immune system
It is a fact that your immune system flourishes in an alkaline environment. You may wonder how?
The short answer is Beneficial Bacteria. The gut is known to contain about 800 different strains of bacteria; 400 have been identified and about 12 keep coming up in research. To put this in context there have been over 4,000 studies and 80 clinical trials on them in the last five or six years.

However, thousands of years ago we did a deal with these bacteria – they will protect us, as long as we give them a nice cosy place to live. Unfortunately, we have broken the deal.
Over the thousands of years, they have come to work best in an environment of a certain acidity. Increase that and they just wont work as well. It is like a chemical reaction.
We have stopped feeding them their favourite foods – fibrous whole foods, whole grains, green vegetables. Instead we eat too much salt or drink too much alcohol that increases the gut acidity. As does meat, as does stress. Then to make matters worse, we feed their enemies – we eat too much sugar and dairy, the favourite food of yeasts and microbes. There is nothing a yeast likes more than a molecule of glucose.
As we said, it is also the favourite food of a cancer cell.
The final coup de grace is we then kill them off – antibiotics, steroids, drugs, chlorinated tap water etc.

These beneficial bacteria are crucial to our very existence!

• At night when we sleep they consume yeasts and microbes for us – up to 2.2 kgs. They are our first line of defence.
• Their very presence stimulates our immune system. It has been estimated that these beneficial bacteria direct a whopping 85 per cent of our antibody production. It is now thought they even orchestrate your immune memory system.
• They help release crucial vitamins from our food; particularly the anti-cancer vitamins biotin, B-12, folic acid and vitamin K.
• They even produce a powerful anti-cancer chemical (sodium butyrate)
• They help chelate with and eliminate cancer causing oestrogenic chemicals and nitrosamines, plus heavy metals like cadmium and mercury.

There is more but just from this you can see that changing the acidity in the gut hinders their action and aids the enemies. The correct pH in the gut is essential for a tip-top immune system.

This brings us back to the first reason that causes a high acidic body, … stress!
In today’s hectic life cutting out stress or even lowering our stress levels is not possible, not at the office or at home for that matter. Having a healthy immune system (healthy gut) makes you not only feel better but makes you healthy. Healthy body’s and healthy minds go hand in hand and healthy people handle stress much better. It really goes full circle and it starts in the gut.

Supplementation has truly become part of our modern lifestyle. Here are a few very important points on how to choose the best probiotic supplements?

• Avoid probiotic supplements with sugar or glucose because they slow the growth of lactobacilli.
• Ensure the probiotic supplements, are sourced from organic foods.
• Choose naturally fermented probiotic supplements over lab made synthetic supplements.
• Choose supplements that have natural strains of bacteria. They remain active in the intestine after consumption.
• Avoid synthetic supplements that are associated with undesirable side effects rather than benefits.
• Choose a supplement that provides a combination of probiotics and prebiotics. This provides the beneficial bacteria along with the fuel for the bacteria to thrive in the human gut. Prebiotics are the soluble fibers present in certain types of foods such as fruits and vegetables. The carbohydrate namely fructoliogosaccharides (FOS) is responsible for the prebiotic effect.

The most common probiotic bacterium in the intestine is lactic acid acidophilus also called as probiotic acidophilus.
References to extracts above

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is one of three key ingredients in Papaya Leaf Extract MultiplyPlus Probiotic formula.
The MultiplyPlus formula contains six strains of Lactobacillus Acidophilus, which are the “good” bacteria that inhabit the intestines and vagina and protect against the entrance and proliferation of “bad” organisms that can cause disease. This is accomplished through a variety of mechanisms, for example the breakdown of food by L. Acidophilus leads to production of Lactic Acid, Hydrogen peroxide and other by-products that make the environment hostile for undesired organisms.
L. Acidophilus also produces Lactase, the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar(Lactose) into simple sugar.

• Difficulty passing urine
• Having to pass urine more often than usual, especially during the night
• There can be some pain when passing urine
• Blood might be seen in the urine although this is one of the less common symptoms.

If you notice any of these things, it’s important to go and get checked over by your doctor. But it is also important to remember not to panic, because most enlargements of the prostate will not turn out to be cancer.

Symptoms of advanced prostate cancer can include all the symptoms that have already been mentioned but if the cancer is advanced it may have spread. In that case some symptoms that are due to the spread of the disease and the formation of secondary cancers might be noticed. The symptoms that appear due to secondary cancers will depend on where in the body the secondary cancers have developed. However, there will be a few more general symptoms that some men will have, and those might be things like feeling more tired than usual, feeling generally unwell and experiencing a loss of appetite.

It is obviously a great idea to have any cancer detected early and with prostate cancer early intervention will make a dramatic impact on survival rates for men with the disease.

This is something that can be nipped in the bud and just because you cannot see your prostate gland does not mean that it will not give you trouble. You need to be aware of just how common prostate problems are in men, as they get older, and make sure that you take up any offers for regular testing that come your way. Know your body and its functions and be ready to react quickly if you suspect anything is wrong. Survival rates for men with prostate cancer are improving all the time so don’t be shy or afraid, go and get advice and help if you need it!

The term ‘probiotics’ should only be used for products if:

• The bacteria strains in the product are able to survive the stomach acid and bile, so that they reach the intestines alive in adequate numbers.
• The bacteria strains have health improving features.
• The probiotic activity is guaranteed throughout the entire production process, storage period and shelf life of the product.

Why probiotics?
Due to improvements in hygiene, human beings today are exposed to bacteria much less frequently than was formerly the case. This is certainly true for the undesirable (pathogenic) bacteria, but it also holds for useful, protective bacteria. Bacteria have been consumed by humans for many years, not only because they are used in traditional preparations such as yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, sausage, etc., but also because they occur naturally in various foodstuffs. These foodstuffs contain bacteria that are now classified as beneficial to health. At present there are strict rules governing food safety. These products are therefore fermented under stringently controlled, hygienic conditions. Only a limited number of selected bacteria are as yet used to produce these products and in some instances products are no longer fermented but acidulated. In addition, more and more products are pasteurized or sterilized at the end of the production process, or are subjected to other purification steps, which destroy these beneficial bacteria.
As a result of all these changes the human body comes into contact with far fewer bacteria (both in terms of quantities and variety of species) than formerly. This has the advantage, of course, that many diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria can be avoided, but it also means that the human being comes into natural contact with beneficial and useful bacteria to a much lesser extent than was formerly the case.
Probiotics support the microbial balance in the intestines of the host and are therefore recommended as supplements to normal everyday nutrition. In addition, they are also used for their health benefits and are attracting a great deal of interest from scientists, as is apparent from a report of a FAO/WHO expert group in which the various potential health and nutritional benefits of probiotics are evaluated’3.
In principle, the situation with regard to bacteria is the same as that of vitamins, minerals and fibres: as the human being doesn’t consume enough of them from food and while the body cannot produce these substances itself, supplements are a desirable addition to normal nutrition.
Health claims
In the great majority of controlled studies with probiotics performed with children and adults, no adverse effects have been observed, not even in studies in which probiotics were administered to humans suffering from a severely compromised immune system12,13,14,15. Given the large amount of probiotic bacteria that have already been consumed for many years without any problems and the many studies that have demonstrated their health benefits, it can be confidently stated that the advantages of consuming probiotics far outweigh any risks.

The study involved evaluating five Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium bacteria for the induction of expression of painkilling receptors (analgesic receptors) in human HT-29 epithelial cells. The NCFM strain, (A blend of bacterial strains including L. acidophilus NCFM ) was seen to induce a sustained increase of molecules found in the body that are responsible for the relief of pain without loss of consciousness (OPRM1) and molecules that serve as templates for protein synthesis or translation (mRNA) compared to that observed in resting epithelial cells.

Lead researcher Professor Pierre Desreumaux, head of the department of gastrointestinal diseases and nutrition at Lille University and research director at Inserm said: “One could envision NCFM to be prescribed for intestinal function disorders or co-administered with morphine to relieve serious gastrointestinal pathologies, therefore reducing morphine doses and related side effects.”

“On probiotics in general we always search for new functionalities to enable development of new areas of application,” adding that the research was conducted specifically with a view to improving treatment of pain for people with severe gastrointestinal diseases.

The Lactobacillous acidophilus strain is one of Papaya’s flagship strains and has been extensively tested for its gut health benefits, stability and survivability through the gastrointestinal tract.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is one of three key ingredients in the Papaya Leaf Extract – 500ml and
Papaya 35 MultiplyPlus – 500ml, probiotic formula.
They contain six strains of Lactobacillus Acidophilus, which are the “good” bacteria that inhabit the intestines and vagina and protect against the entrance and proliferation of “bad” organisms that can cause disease. This is accomplished through a variety of mechanisms, for example the breakdown of food by L. Acidophilus leads to production of Lactic Acid, Hydrogen peroxide and other by-products that make the environment hostile for undesired organisms.
L. Acidophilus also produces Lactase, the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar(Lactose) into simple sugar. People who are Lactose intolerant do not produce this enzyme. For this reason the MultiplyPlus Probiotic formula may be beneficial for these individuals.

Independent studies have shown that Lactobacillus Acidophilus has the following effects:

• Aiding digestion and suppressing disease-causing bacteria.
• Replacing the “friendly” intestinal bacteria destroyed by antibiotics.
• Preventing and treating diarrhea, including infectious diarrhea. (common with children)
• Preventing and/or reducing the recurrence of vaginal yeast infections, urinary tract infections and bladder infections.
• Increasing lactose tolerance and ingestion.
• Supporting the immunological system.
• Synthesis of B complex vitamins which helps to increase energy levels.
• Aiding the treatment of respiratory infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. Lowering the risk of allergies such as asthma, hay fewer and skin reactions such as eczema.
• Reducing cholesterol levels.
• Reducing the risk of recurring bladder tumors ones the cancer has been treated.

Organic foods don’t look perfect AND they don’t have the pesticide residue that other foods may have. In order to make the most of the benefits of organic foods, the goodness of organic foods have been taken a step further and used in organic supplements.

The danger of pesticides that have been used for generations on traditional farms and crops cannot be fully comprehended. Pesticides were designed to kill the harmful insects that were damaging the crop harvests, but the harmful chemicals were also getting into the humans that were ingesting the food. It was only years and decades later that doctors and scientists realised that there was a correlation between the toxic pesticides used to control the insects eating the crops and the rise in diseases in the human population.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the USA have taken steps to try and control the toxicity of the pesticides used on crops but these chemicals are still dangerous. Pesticides which are still used today are thought to be responsible for hundreds of diseases: They are thought to be responsible for causing different kinds of cancers, and other conditions in the nervous system and reproduction organs.

These health problems can develop in anyone after being exposed to a pesticide. The exposure can happen over short and long periods of time. People can be exposed to pesticides from food, indoor pesticide use, and many different kinds of pesticide use out of doors. Those who work with pesticides in their jobs -like farm workers -have a greater risk. But as a shopper you can minimise your expose by eating organic food and by using products that are safe for the environment and that have been tested for their toxicity. Be careful when working with gardening sprays and household sprays designed to kill common bugs.

Women who were exposed to garden pesticides in their early pregnancy have reproductive system abnormalities andresearchers at John Hopkins Hospital believe it may increase the risk of getting certain types of cancers. Pesticide exposure is thought to be linked to an increased risk of Parkinson’s Disease. Other cancers linked to pesticide ingredients are – leukemia, kidney, brain, testicular, prostate and cervical cancers, and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL).

Organic Supplements are regulated and certified that they are made from organic food sources and they have no traces of pesticides. If you are already taking a vitamin supplement, it is likely to be synthetic vitamins, there a thousands of synthetic vitamins on the market. Most people don’t know the difference between an organic and synthetic vitamin. Organic supplements are known to have a higher content of vitamins and minerals. This is why they are now becoming popular.
Like gold you have to know they are rare and you will have to source them carefully. Look at the labels on the bottles and check the ingredients are organic.
Organic foods have higher levels of some nutrients. Some of these minerals are calcium and magnesium. Organic foods also have less toxid metals in them. Toxic metals can cause neurological problems, lower IQ levels, and aluminum has been shown to have a connection to Alzheimer’s disease. It is also easier for the body to absorb organic supplements as they are not perceived by the body as “foreign”.

As synthetic vitamin will largely pass through the system unabsorbed. Health supplements that are organic and natural, are accepted by the digestive system and are easily assimilated by the body. Consumers should look at the potency of ingredients and where the product was grown, and how it was harvested.

Our papaya supplements are 100 percent organically grown and they are not exposed to any pesticides or harmful chemicals. You are getting the benefit of the papaya leaf enzymes and the benefit of the organic process.

-TRISH BEAVER-

Rochway’s organic papaya plantation is situated in the heart of the Northern tropical Queensland of Australia. The green mature papaya together with the leaves and twigs are harvested and immediately emulsified in a super fine liquid. This liquid is then freeze dried and micronized into a very fine powder.
The powder is then transported to Rochway’s own certified organic lab called “BJP laboratories fermentation plant” where it is fermented over a period of 21 days with multi strain probiotic species.

After a five stage probiotic/fermentation process the liquid is drained and bottled, the pulp and fibre (prebiotics) are again freeze dried and again micronized into fine powder that is encapsulated in hard gel veggie capsules from Pfizer. The capsules are as powerful as the liquid concentrate, although some research suggest that the liquid is better absorbed.

Papaya Leaf Extract is available in 500 ml liquid and 60 capsules bottles.
Papaya is one of the world’s most research products with more than 80 research publications for its health giving benefits.

Sugar is one of the worst legal drugs in today’s time.
We see more and more children being diagnosed with diabetes or even insulin resistant, than ever before. In Wales they have banned sugar in vending machines in hospitals and in Boston – the youth are asking to ban sugary drinks and items containing high sugar in hospitals and clinics.

Dr. Robert Lustig, a paediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, says that sugar should have its own warning labels – much like tobacco & alcohol products.
Think how long did it take society to finally put the tobacco warning labels on and make it law.
Was it 20 years, 30 years, no Longer.

A lot of parents feel that they don’t want to ‘deprive’ their child of a ‘treat’ for example some chocolate, sweets, muffins cakes, etc. But it is the same as lighting a cigarette with your child.
I know the above sounds completely ridiculous and stupid and no parent would do that … but why would you think that SUGAR or sugary items are any more acceptable.

Our body needs sugar – agreed and accepted. But if we have a good wholesome diet our body gets the ‘sugar’ it requires. From our fresh fruit & vegetables & good carbs that we eat. Our body definitely does not need the quantities of sugar that one child can consume.
Take breakfast ‘cereal’ like Coco Pops, Frosties, Honey Corn etc. They are packed with sugar. They say it has Vitamins and Minerals well please note that some boxes used to have it in BOLD on the front, saying that it has 9 Vitamins & Minerals – well you won’t find it in BOLD on the front any more and you know why. Because the public complained that it was false advertising – and they were right & won.

Even if they have ‘added’ vitamins and minerals most of it gets erased by the amount of sugar that is in that cereal.
If you and your family LOVE Coco Pops – have it – but only as a treat – like maybe once a week or something, and be fully aware that there are hardly any Vitamins & Minerals in them.

Make a wise informed decision.
So your child/children have had their ‘sugary cereal for breakfast – they might have a sandwich with cheese spread or even a chocolate spread (because they don’t eat anything else – or because advertisers says it’s a good ‘nutritional’ food) at school.
When they come home they have a Hot Dog for lunch – then maybe they will have a muffin or a biscuit or what you would call a ‘treat’ and then supper – sometimes with a sugary drink or even a ‘fruit juice’ thinking that is the healthy alternative.
Look at what your child/children have consumed for the day – sugar sugar sugar or carbs that turn to sugar in the body. Poor little body!

Now firstly sugar turns to acid in the body. Acid breeds diseases – any disease in the body has to have an acidic environment to attach itself to the body. Think of acid as a glue in your body …. So you are filling your body & your child’s body with ‘glue’ so that when any disease or virus crosses its path …. It can ‘stick’.

Sugar = acid = yeast build up.
Sugar = acid = mucous build up.
Yeast or mucous build up = being bloated, gas, indigestion, sometimes even constipation or diarrhea.
If your body is alkaline – one cannot ‘catch’ anything.

Once again – let me remind you …. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK – there are plenty of articles to back up what I am saying. There is a fabulous book called ‘The pH Miracle’ – where two doctors alkaline patients (through diet) and brought their bodies to a balance – things like a lung tumour – after 6 weeks – had more than halved in size.
Some early onset diabetes – reversed.

We are in control of our body – by what we put in our mouth.
Now sugar has a HUGE part in our hormone production too.
On a simple level – relate it back to the sugar = acid = glue.
Our body needs good ‘oils’ and good quality minerals like zinc, magnesium etc. to produce hormones.
Putting huge amounts of sugar into our system – ‘erases’ the good things our body needs – e.g. oils, vitamins & minerals.
For the ladies … yes sugar cravings are almost ‘normal’ before menstruation – it doesn’t mean that it is what your body ‘needs’ – have some good quality protein instead – the craving will go.
Sugar = acid = glue = feeds yeast etc. – which in turn can turn to PCOS & endometriosis – and many other disorders.
Alkaline – alkaline – alkaline – then there is no ‘glue’ for a disorder to stick too.

I know I am over simplifying it but I do not want to get too technical. I realise most parents are ‘normal’ people and not professors in pathology.

When the teens are going through puberty, they need all the right ‘fuel’ for the changes their bodies are going to go through. Sugar throws a HUGE spanner in the process.

If your teen or even yourself suffer with very painful cycles – cut out sugary things (sometimes even very sugary fruit – e.g. mangos – depending how sensitive your body is to sugar) 5 – 7 days before your cycle. That would include the carbs and you will see what a difference it will make to your cycle & the pain.

Anti-bacterial properties: The antimicrobial and antibacterial activity of olive leaves are due to the presence of plant chemicals oleuropein and caffeic acid which inhibits the microbial action [1]. A research study revealed that water extracts of olive leaves showed complete inhibition of bacterial activity and complete destruction of E.coli bacterial cells [2]. The seven phenolic compounds identified in olive leaf extracts namely caffeic acid, verbascosie, oleuropein, luteolin 7-O-glucosise, rutin, apigenin7-O-glucoside and luteolin 4′-O-glucoside showed an unusual combined antibacterial and anti-fungal action against gram positive and gram negative bacteria [3].

Potent antioxidant: The phenolic compounds in olive leaves neutralize the harmful free radicals and exhibited potent antioxidant capacity [3]. Another study revealed that Olive Leaf Extracts increased the total antioxidant capacity and decreased oxidative stress on cultured human cells [4].

Boosts immune health: The phenolic compounds in Olive Leaf Extract aid in boosting the immune system by exhibiting anti-inflammatory [5], anti-bactericidal and anti-fungal properties.

Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. It is an acute illness of sudden onset that usually follows a benign course with symptoms such as headache, fever, exhaustion, severe muscle and joint pain, swollen glands (lymphadenopathy), and rash. The presence (the “dengue triad”) of fever, rash, and headache (and other pains) is particularly characteristic of dengue. Other signs of dengue fever include bleeding gums, severe pain behind the eyes, and red palms and soles.

Dengue can affect anyone but tends to be more severe in people with compromised immune systems. Because it is caused by one of four serotypes of virus, it is possible to get dengue fever multiple times. However, an attack of dengue produces immunity for a lifetime to that particular serotype to which the patient was exposed.
Dengue goes by other names, including “breakbone” or “dandy fever.” Victims of dengue often have contortions due to the intense joint and muscle pain, hence the name breakbone fever.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a more severe form of the viral illness. Symptoms include headache, fever, rash, and evidence of hemorrhage in the body. Petechiae (small red or purple splotches or blisters under the skin), bleeding in the nose or gums, black stools, or easy bruising are all possible signs of hemorrhage. This form of dengue fever can be life-threatening and can progress to the most severe form of the illness, dengue shock syndrome.

Papaya Leaf Extract – wonder (natural) drug for dengue patients?
By C.I. Munasinghe (Sunday Observer)

While the dreaded disease, dengue has reached epidemic proportions with a countless number of patients infected by it islandwide and the death toll mounting unabated, creating a national crisis – a cure for this dreaded disease however is still in wanting.

Dr. Sanath Hettige, an MBBS doctor – a consultant family physician-has affirmed that papaya leaf extract has definite beneficial effects on dengue patients. It prevents dengue patients from going in to dengue haemorrhagic state, he says.

The first ever scientific bio-medical study conducted to discover the salutary effects of Carcia papaya leaf extracts in patients suffering from dengue fever by Dr. Hettige was reported in the Sri Lanka Family Physician magazine in his article on the said subject in 2008.

The report further states, “The pilot study has shown the effects of papaya leaf juice in dengue patients of elevating the total white cell counts, platelet counts and recovery without hospital admission.”

This was followed up in the IMPA newsletter of June 2009 volume 14, issue 6, in which he has written on his preliminary observations of his study to his colleagues for their consideration with the view to establishing a scientifically sound study. In the same article he has also said that “a delay in formal research and publication may result in many deaths if we were to wait for results of a study without making information available to patients during the present epidemic.”

Dr. Hettige’s latest research on randomised controlled clinical trial that is on going with more than 70 dengue patients including children has found that all patients who consumed papaya leaf extracts recovered fully with no hospital admission. The results had been highly significant when compared to the control group who did not consume papaya leaf extract. Meanwhile Dr. Hettige has submitted an application for patent rights for its use and has received a patent number, but is awaiting approval.

The Sunday Observer met Dr. Hettige to find out more details of his decision to reveal his findings related to this wonder juice to the public, the details on how he initially started his research and how this papaya leaf extract could be administered to a patient.

“I have found this method of treatment for dengue patients to be very effective. Although the study is not fully completed, I decided to release this information at a time dengue has reached a national crisis situation and the public would benefit from this information”.

Q: What prompted you to initially do research on this disease?
A; It was in fact my wife, a Senior Medical Officer at the Intensive Care Unit, Sri Jayewardenepura Hospital, who would see the helpless dengue patients among many others, coming in to her unit and she would call me to inform of their suffering, and how most often than not the patients succumbed to this infection. She would constantly ask if there is nothing we could do. This prompted me to do something about it.

Q: How did you first start off your research?
A: Initially, I had a number of patients – relatives of those who work for me, friends and relatives infected by dengue who gave their consent to carry out the research on them. The pilot study consisted of 24 patients in total. Twelve who were given the juice and 12 as controls (who were not given the juice). We found that the 12 who consumed the papaya extract had good results. It was significant to observe that the platelet count increased in all 12 patients with two doses of papaya leaf juice and they all recovered with no hospital admissions, as per the details given in the pilot study that was published.

Preparation
Q; How is the papaya fruit leaf juice prepared for consumption for the purpose of treatment of dengue?
A: Leaves from a fruit-bearing tree can be taken (the Red Lady Papaya variety which is more effective), it has to be washed with clean water and then crushed in a wooden pestle without water or salt. The crushed leaves are then to be squeezed by hand to extract the juice which can be consumed fresh once again, without water, salt or sugar.

Q; What is the quantity of the leaf extract that has to be taken for an adult and child respectively?
A: A quantity of 10 ml is prescribed for adults twice a day and 5ml twice a day for children aged between five and 12 years.

Q: Could you give the scientific explanation as to how papaya leaf extract is effective in curing dengue?
A: It does three main services – the leaf extract increases the white blood cells and blood platelets and normalises the clotting profile which are the main aspects affected when infected with dengue. The most important factor is that it improves liver function too. The juice helps repair the damage caused to liver cells by dengue fever.

Q: At what stage should a patient consume papaya leaf extract?
A: It is best to consume it in the early stages of dengue haemorrhagic fever when the platelet count (PLT) drops below 150000 cu mm or when the packed cell volume is increased by 10 percent even though the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria to diagnose DHF is PLT of 100000 cu mm or Packed cell volume increase by 20 percent.

Papaya leaf juice has definite beneficial effects even when given to patients with very low platelet counts, altered clotting profiles and bleeding tendencies. But in the final stages of dengue, where multi-organ failure has set in, the beneficial effects are minimal. This is why the patients are advised to take papaya leaf juice early. When it is given early to patients, they recover fast, thus preventing the need for hospital admission. Most importantly, patients who have been identified as dengue-infected should first seek medical attention and take the juice along with the prescribed medication.

Papaya Leaf Extract is available in 500 ml liquid and 60 capsule bottles.
Papaya is one of the world’s most research products with more than 80 research publications for its health giving benefits.

More recently, medical research has started to understand the importance of gender differences in symptoms and responses to medical treatment.
Studies in Germany have brought to light that women receive more anti-psychotic drugs then men even-tough only half of the women receiving it actually suffer from depression.
It’s a fact that women go to the doctor more often then men. They also open up more and talk more about their psychological problems. Women are classified as being more mentally burdened whereas men are more physically burdened, also Men are given more heart medication then women.

An advocate and expert in this field is Prof. Dr. Doell who has conducted in-depth studies and also published a book on this topic.
She concludes that because woman take on average 2-3 times more medicine than men, especially when taking anti-psychotic drugs, the dosage administered to women is not correct. There are diseases that are more specific for men than for women. The disturbing find is that there are also the same disease with totally different symptoms.
The heart attack is an excellent example. The classic symptoms “the pain in the left arm” does not occur in one of every two woman, they suffers from jaw pain, backache and a sleeping disorder as forerunner to a heart attack.
The alarming fact is that women themselves don’t recognise these symptoms and are therefore administered to hospital on average 40 minutes later with an acute heart attack than men. Valuable time is lost and on average more woman die of an acute first heart attack then men. Treatment after is also much different if we look at the figures.

With cardiac catheter examinations, only every 5th candidate is a women.
Only 18% of all heart transplants are woman.
Women on average have a stroke 8-10 years later then men, subsequently they are much older and have perhaps suffered other cardiac issues.

Alcohol consumption is another key issue as women take much longer to metabolize alcohol and react much more severely to toxins then men.
These alarming facts speak for themselves, the awareness of gender medicine is at an infant stage if we consider that there is only one professorship in Germany at the Institute of Gender in Medicine at Charité-Universitätsmedizin in Berlin.
Even-though this is only the tip of the iceberg it can already be seen as a breakthrough. The awareness is slowly but surely growing.

Here are some more very interesting statistics on gender health differences.
WASHINGTON CNN
A women’s health advocacy group has released a list of what it’s doctors and health researchers say are the top ten health differences between men and women. According to the Annual Women’s Health Research Update:
STDs: Women are two times more likely than men to contract a sexually transmitted disease and ten times more likely to contract HIV during unprotected sex with an infected partner.
Depression: Women are two to three times more likely than men to suffer from depression, in part because women’s brains make less of the chemical, Serotonin.
Osteoporosis: Women make up 80 percent of the population suffering from osteoporosis, which is attributable to a higher rate of bone loss in women.
Lung Cancer: Women smokers are 20% to 70% more likely to develop lung cancer than male smokers.
Heart Disease: Women are more likely than men to have a second heart attack within a year of the first one.
Anesthesia: Women tend to wake up from anesthesia more quickly than men, an average of 7 minutes for women and 11 minutes for men.
Autoimmune Disease: Three out of four people suffering from autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, are women.
Alcohol: After consuming the same amount of alcohol, women have higher blood alcohol content than men.
Pain: Some pain medications known as kappaopiates are far more effective in relieving pain in women than in men.
Drug reactions: Even common drugs such as antihistamines and antibiotics can cause different reactions and side effects in women and men.

A new product has been developed to prepare your body for the typical germs and flu bugs that multiply in winter. This natural remedy is packed with the benefits of olive leaf extract AND the power of a papaya probiotic formula.

This product is crammed with the two most powerful ingredients that will encourage your body to fight any foreign viruses or opportunistic infections that try to invade your body’s natural defence system.
Olive Leaf Extract has been tested and used for the last decade to boost the immune system, it has been discovered that it has natural antibiotic properties and is a natural anti-oxidant which inhibits the multiplication of free radicals (bad cells).
Scientists have discovered that it has no bad side effects even if taken in high doses and it is a safe food supplement with anti-microbial action. Olive Leaf Extract differs from most other immune booster products because other immune boosters stimulate your body to do the work, but olive leaf extract has all the “skills” to do the work itself.

So when you take olive leaf extract you may find that you quickly regain your energy because the supplement is doing its job and allowing the body to regain equilibrium.
Anti-oxidants like olive leaf extract and papaya protect against a range of long term diseases and opportunistic infections. Olive leaf extract contains some of the strongest natural antioxidants discovered, much stronger than the much lauded vitamin C and green tea and it also has anti-inflammatory properties.

Researchers have discovered that olive leaf extract works like this:

• It enters into the host cells and blocks viral replication.
• It disturbs the virus production of the proteins needed to breed
• It switches off the viruses and stops the virus from migrating to other parts of the body and to other cells.
• It then stimulates the human’s own immune system to fight the virus or infection.

If you use the combination of olive leaf extract and papaya then you will have the multiple benefits of two natural germ fighters. It has been discovered that papaya is a powerful antioxidant and contains many vitamins that will be useful in fighting colds and flu. Papayas are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate, pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium and magnesium.

Papaya has interleukin, a protein that plays an important role in healing wounds and minor infections. This also helps the macrophage, a type of white blood cell, work faster to destroy bacteria, viral infections and free radical fragments.
Papaya also has properties that help inflammation and allergies and all the vitamins it contains boosts the immune system making it an ideal choice as an immune booster.

This is going to be exciting and different, going in healthy,” said “The Missile”, who gulped a small bottle of the Olive Leaf and probiotic mix “that the Body Science people specially developed for me” before jumping into the water yesterday.

The company Body Science (BSC) Australia is a sponsor of some of the Australian athletes, and the Olive Leaf probiotic liquid produced by Rochway for Body Science  is making headlines!

Olive leaf has calm Missile ready to fire
A 10-camera posse of curious Brits and Aussies surrounded our biggest swim hope at the Manchester Aquatic Centre yesterday, and none in the 40-strong media throng was disappointed as he talked up swimming scary fast, his hunger for gold and staying cool and loose.
Instead of the pneumonia that racked his lean racer’s frame before the world championships gold in Shanghai last year or the chest infection that affected his trials build-up in Adelaide this year, Magnussen exuded good health.

This peak is going to be a lot higher than I’ve experienced before,” Magnussen warned after feeling fresh and switched on in his first training session since the long haul from Sydney.
“I should definitely go quicker than the trials. Being 100 per cent healthy is a huge bonus and relief.
“There are massive ebbs and flows during the week of a big meet.
“If I was to break the world record in the relay, I don’t see any reason why I couldn’t keep up the energy and mental state to break it again in the individual. I certainly don’t plan to go slower in the individual.”

There can be no bigger alert that Brazilian Cesar Cielo Filho’s super-suit world record of 46.91sec is under siege, because Magnussen plans to smash the 47.10sec blast he fired at the March trials when not sleeping most nights and labouring with a chest infection.
“This is going to be exciting and different, going in healthy,” said “The Missile”, who gulped a small bottle of the olive leaf and probiotic mix “that the Body Science people specially developed for me” before jumping into the water yesterday.
The towering sprinter said his pre-planned mindset to deal with the hectic Olympic environment for the first time was to still be laid-back “Port Macquarie James”.
Bringing his small-NSW-town “whatever” shrug to the Olympics is a vital mental key so close to his first swim on July 29 in the 4 x 100m freestyle relay.

“The more relaxed I am the quicker I am going to swim,” he said.
“There’s going to be more media and hype but I still want to be feeling like the laid-back guy who gets up at 10am in Port Macquarie and strolls down the beach,” Magnussen told the captivated British media contingent, who needed to search for the town on the map.

Chronic generative diseases is a group term for a whole range of conditions that are slow developing diseases characterised by the gradual deterioration of the organs, cells and nerves that are affected. They can affect different parts of the body and according to the World Health Organisation they are the leading cause of death in the world today.

Much of the research done today is around trying to prevent these diseases from occurring. A few of these diseases will be immediately recognisable to you – Alzheimers (a disease involving slow memory loss) and diminished thinking capacity is one of those that belong in the chronic degenerative disease category.
Another common one is Osteoporosis, this is possibly less frightening but very wide spread and would be associated with the high number of hip replacement surgeries now performed routinely in western medical centres.

Medical researchers have been trying to find a common cause between the rising number of age related diseases. Many doctors would suggest that a western diet does not offer sufficient nutrition. The western lifestyle also revolves around stress and fast food and the intake of healthy nutritious food has not been a focus until recent years.

People are beginning to look at where their food is grown and how their food is prepared and a younger generation is beginning to think that quality food is better than quantity. The explosion of health supplements and vitamin tablets may seek to address a diet that has been badly managed for too many years.

Recent studies show that the high vegetable, low fat content in the Asian diet offers their elderly population a greater chance of avoiding degenerative diseases. The fresh vegetables and fruit they eat in high quantities also contributes to the fact they have fewer free radicals in their bodies which can cause cancer.

There have been recent studies that have revealed that the humble fruit known as the paw-paw or papaya which is eaten as a breakfast fruit or a desert may be much more than a delicious snack. The rich yellow fleshy fruit have two special enzymes – papain and chymopapain – which helps with digestion and mainly breaks down the protein into amino acids.

Research shows that as we age our bodies produce less digestive enzymes in our stomach and pancreas, which leads to the ineffective digestion of proteins. Due to this we end up with excess amount of undigested protein, and the growth of bad bacteria in the gastro-intestinal tract.

Papaya is one of the yellow fruits that contains many antioxidants, dietary fiber, folate, vitamin A, C and E. It also contains small amount of calcium, iron, riboflavin, thiamine and niacine and carotenoids and bioflavonoids, two classes of phytochemicals that scientists are studying extensively for their health-promoting potential.

While studying this popular breakfast melon, the scientists have found its vitamin -rich properties may help prevent other chronic degenerative conditions like cataract formation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diverticulosis, and possibly, hypertension.
Research has shown that it has natural anti-inflammatory properties, and the ripe fruit is good at preventing constipation. It is loaded with vitamins and beats the orange hands down in fighting colds and flu. In the intestine it works very well to soothe irritable bowel and can break down pus and mucus at infection sites. Some people claim they have used the seeds as a treatment for expelling intestinal worms and others says the fruit helps to treat nausea.
Perhaps we need to look more closely at nature’s pharmacy for the answers to the medical challenges that will face the next generation. Prevention is always better than cure!

High blood pressure is one of the greatest health disorders young and old face today.
If you have high blood pressure, this higher pressure puts extra strain on your heart and blood vessels. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
High blood pressure can also cause heart and kidney disease, and is closely linked to some forms of dementia.
References to extracts above

Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries and it rises and falls throughout the day. When blood pressure stays elevated over time, it’s called high blood pressure.
Potassium in your daily diet is essential to maintain ‘low Sodium and high Potassium levels’ which is vital as their levels determine blood volume, which in turn regulates blood pressure.

Hypertension affects 30% of adults and low intakes of antioxidants have been associated with increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Dietary antioxidants play a vital role in controlling blood pressure. Antioxidant supplements can be beneficial for people suffering from high blood pressure, helping keep their blood pressure normal.
Studies show that antioxidant supplements have numerous health effects including lowering cholesterol levels as well as improving blood circulation. Researchers indicate that the ability of antioxidants in lowering blood pressure is mainly due to their effect on the endothelium, the innermost layer of arterial blood vessels that expands and contracts in response to blood flow. Antioxidants help in producing fewer substances (mainly free radicals) that constrict arteries and produce more substances that expand the arteries. Vitamin E and vitamin C react rapidly with free radicals, and there antioxidant properties are widely accepted.
References to extracts above

Papaya is one of the richest sources of antioxidants in the world and the Probiotic formula of Papaya Leaf Extract Liquid is up to 20 times more powerful than Vitamin E!

Antioxidant help strengthen and protect the inner lining of blood vessels.
Antioxidant also protects your arteries from hardening. Fatty plaque causes hardened arteries – one of the major reasons to suffer from high blood pressure.
References to extracts above

Papayas also contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, which are three powerful antioxidants that help reduce cholesterol.
As cholesterol collects in the blood vessels and forms plaque, over time the plaque builds up and blocks the blood flow through the blood vessels. This eventually can causes a heart attack or stroke.The antioxidants in the papaya help prevents the LDL cholesterol from oxidizing and attaching itself to the walls of the blood vessels. It does this with the help of an enzyme called paraoxonase.
Additionally, papayas are an excellent source of soluble fiber, which has been shown to lower cholesterol levels, particularly the “bad,” LDL cholesterol.
References to extracts above

Studies also show that there is a definite correlation between weight loss and papaya enzymes.
Papain has the ability to break down and help digest meats and proteins. It’s utility is in breaking down tough meat fibers and this is essential in a weight-loss regime. There are two more enzymes that assist weight loss.
Alpha Amylase helps break down and digest starches and carbohydrates. It breaks large, insoluble starch molecules into soluble starches – producing successively smaller starches and ultimately maltose.
Protease enzymes are effective at breaking down and processing protein. Protease enzymes are very important in digestion as they breakdown the peptide bonds in the protein foods to liberate the amino acids needed by the body.

Fermented Papaya Benefits
>Fermented papaya (FPP) boasts a complex quantity of enzymes which aid in extracting & processing proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Fermented papaya extract is very rich in its nutritional form and includes Thiamin, Potassium, Iron, Beta-carotene, Magnesium, Riboflavin, Niacin, Zinc, and Vitamins A & C. Within the structure is also Lysine, Gluthamic Acid, Phenylalanine, Arginine, Tyrosine, Leucine,Hystidine, Isolucine, Valine, Glycine, Methionine, Serine, Treonine, Preline, Aspartic Acid and Triptophane and Alanine. The full-grown green Papaya provides an excellent supply of Enzymes, vitamins and minerals. In reality, it has more vitamin C as compared to oranges, more Vitamin A than carrots, considerable amount of Vitamin B components and Vitamin E.

Nutritional health analysis’s indicates that FPP features essential amino acids and small sugar molecules referred to as oligosaccharides, which have the capability to control and boost your body’s antioxidant functions in two ways. First, they immediately eliminate harmful free radicals in the body, including the most threatening among free radicals known as hydroxyl; and secondly, they boost the process of the body’s own antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase.

Based on research, FPP has exceptional properties with regards to dealing with oxidative stress and stimulation of the body’s immune system. Fermented papaya may possibly regulate beta-amyloid accumulation in brain cells, together with oxidative stress tracks stimulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines. They noted further that Fermented Papaya Preparation minimizes DNA deterioration from free radicals such as hydrogen peroxide. Free radicals are extremely reactive molecules that ruin your cells. They are generated in the course of your body’s regular metabolic processes. Nonetheless, you are also constantly bombarded by free radicals from external sources, which include cigarette smoke, radiation and exposure to traffic pollution, and out of the intake of food pesticides, fried and processed foods, and alcohol.
They documented inflammatory reaction and DNA destruction due to excess free radicals are believed to be one of the main reasons in a range of cancers, arthritis, cardiovascular complications, diabetes, neurodegenerative conditions which includes strokes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and is the main cause of the ageing process and a causative factor in many degenerative conditions including cataracts, wrinkles and age spots.
Apart from its anti-ageing effects, FPP possesses highly effective Immune Building properties, as mentioned previously. Specifically, it assists in enhancing your body’s first line of defence against infections by boosting the effectiveness of white blood cells identified as macrophages that kill disease-causing microorganisms. Due to this fact, FPP is helpful in avoiding and preventing colds, influenza and other microbial infections.

The Fermented Papaya production process
Rochway’s organic papaya plantation is situated in the heart of the Northern tropical Queensland of Australia.
The green mature papaya together with the leaves and twigs are harvested and immediately emulsified in a super fine liquid. This liquid is then freeze dried and micronized into a very fine powder.
The powder is then transported to Rochway’s own certified organic lab called “BJP laboratories fermentation plant” where it is fermented over a period of 21 days with multi strain probiotic species.

After a five stage probiotic/fermentation process the liquid is drained and bottled, the pulp and fiber (prebiotics) are again freeze dried and again micronized into fine powder that is encapsulated in hard gel veggie capsules from Pfizer. The capsules are as powerful as the liquid concentrate, although some research suggest that the liquid is better absorbed.

Papaya Leaf Extract and Papaya 35 MultiplyPLUS is available in 500 ml liquid and 60 capsule bottles.
Papaya is one of the world’s most research products with more than 80 research publications for its health giving benefits.

In short, a digestive system with good microflora serves a protective barrier against harmful bacteria. But how can one have a healthy intestinal flora? The answer is Probiotics.
Probiotic foods and dietary supplements prevent intestinal disease by allowing the absorption of antioxidants from food, and supporting a cleaner liver and bloodstream. It also allows the production of vitamins, particularly B3, B6, and folic acid, causing anti-tumor activity, supporting detoxification, thus, enhancing the immune system.

Although the use of probiotics as dietary supplements is of recent, the supplementation of natural microflora has been dated as early as the late nineteenth century. The first identified probiotic, the Lactobacilli bacteria, was found in yogurt in the 1920s and 1930s. Many doctors recommended Acidophilus milk, containing the Lactobacillus acidophilus, to treat patients suffering from constipation and diarrhea and many more illnesses.
In the 1950s, researchers conducted a study on Lactobacillus Acidophilus on its ability to counteract the digestive side effects of taking antibiotics, known at that time already to cause an imbalance of the intestinal microflora by killing the harmful bacteria along with the good bacteria.

There is also a definite correlation between weight loss and papaya enzymes.
Papaya enzymes act like a super enzyme. They not only break down proteins, carbohydrates, and starches, they also help digest fats, speed up your metabolism and act as a weight-loss supplement.
Papaya enzymes are good for digestive health, bad breath and gas. They contain vitamins A and C and are also a good source of potassium. Enzymes are key components to the many chemical actions which occur in the body each day.

The MultiplyPLUS Probiotic formula contains the enzyme Papain. Papain is able to break down and help digest meats and proteins. It’s utility is in breaking down tough meat fibres and this is essential in a weight-loss regime.
There are two more enzymes that assist weight loss.
Alpha Amylase helps break down and digest starches and carbohydrates. It breaks large, insoluble starch molecules into soluble starches – producing successively smaller starches and ultimately maltose.
Protease enzymes are effective at breaking down and processing protein. Protease enzymes are very important in digestion as they breakdown the peptide bonds in the protein foods to liberate the amino acids needed by the body.

Probiotic supplementation have been demonstrated benefits for overall wellbeing for many years, some of the specific benefits of probiotics include:

• Decreases the side effects of antibiotics such as diarrhea and yeast infections
• Controls urinary tract infections
• Improve lactose digestion for lactose-sensitive or lactose-intolerant individuals
• Controls harmful bacteria and boost immune response
• Prevents formation of harmful bacteria that can lead to many kinds of cancer
• Relieves constipation, allergies, and atopic skin conditions
• Relieves irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, and Crohn’s symptoms
• Helps reduce blood cholesterol
• Assists in weight-loss
• It is Heart smart -
• and Prostate smart

 

With today’s lifestyle of high stress, poor diets, carbonated beverages and exposure to toxins and antibiotics through our food and medications, disruption of the healthy bacterial balance of the intestines is usually the outcome. Probiotics taken in supplementation has a primary challenge of surviving the stomach acids in order to successfully colonize in the colon. Therefore, taking a high quality probiotic supplement is the best and most realistic way to ensure that you have a healthy intestinal microflora.

Rochways MultiplyPLUS Probiotic formula contains multiple strains of Lactobacillus Acidophilus and 25 billion microorganisms and Papain in abundance . It also contains Prebiotics, non-digestible food components that increase the growth of probiotic organisms in the gastrointestinal tract.

Papaya 35 MultiplyPLUS is available in 500 ml liquid and 60 capsule bottles.
Papaya is one of the world’s most research products with more than 80 research publications for its health giving benefits.

• The Papaya Leaf Extract prevented the growth of breast cancer cells in culture with higher doses having a greater benefit.
• Prevention of cell growth appears to be mediated, at least in part, by stimulating the programmed cell-death of the breast cancer cells.
• The Papaya Leaf Extract suppressed the production on inflammatory chemicals from the white blood cells.
• Production of chemicals with anti-cancer properties were increased when white blood cells were treated with the Papaya Leaf Extract.
• None of the doses of the Papaya Leaf Extract appeared to have any damaging effects on normal cells.

 
While this study was not dedicated to just breast cancer, parts of the study were done using breast cancer cells and the anti-tumor effects were noted in these cells as well as the other types of cancer cells. Overall, this study suggests that a Papaya Leaf Extract inhibits breast cancer cell growth and alters the immune system in an anti-cancer direction.

Isothiocyanates found in papaya restore the cell cycle to eliminate cancer.
Organo-sulfur compounds called isothiocyanates are found in papaya. In animal experiments, isothiocyanates protected against cancers of the breast, lung, colon pancreas, and prostate, as well as leukemia, and they have the potential to prevent cancer in humans. Isothiocyanates have shown themselves capable of inhibiting both the formation and development of cancer cells through multiple pathways and mechanisms. (International Journal of Oncology), October, 2008)

Researchers in Japan clarified the mechanisms of action in a type of isothiocyanate found in papaya known as BITC, that underlies the relationship between cell cycle regulation and appropriate cell death. When cancerous cells die on schedule, they are no longer a problem. The researchers established that BITC exerted cancer cell killing effects that were greater in the proliferating cells than in the quiescent cells. Cancer cells that are proliferating are much more dangerous than cancer cells that are in a state of dormancy. (Forum of Nutrition, 2009)

How Isothiocyanates Help Protect Against Cancer.
Carcinogens are the bad guys of the cancer battle. They are the chemicals that cause the disease. Isothiocyanates (pronounced eys-so-thigh-o-sigh-an-ate) stop them dead in their tracks in three different ways: 1) They don’t allow carcinogens to be activated; 2) they counteract the poisonous effects of carcinogens that have been activated; and 3) they speed up their removal from the body.

Isothiocyanates have been shown to be especially effective in fighting lung and esophageal cancers. Studies have shown that risks of other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and the respiratory tract can also be reduced by consuming isothiocyanates. (Forum of Nutrition, 2009)

Papaya was the only studied food found to halt breast cancer.
Scientists studied 14 plant foods commonly consumed in Mexico to determine their ability to halt breast cancer cell growth. These included avocado, black sapote, fuava, mango, prickly pear cactus (nopal), pineapple, grapes, tomato, and papaya. They also evaluated beta-carotene, total plant phenolics, and gallic acid contents and antioxidant capacity. They found that only papaya had a significant effect on stopping breast cancer cell growth. (International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition, May)

The production process of Rochway’s Papaya Leaf Extract
Rochway’s organic papaya plantation is situated in the heart of the Northern tropical Queensland of Australia.
The green mature papaya together with the leaves and twigs are harvested and immediately emulsified in a super fine liquid. This liquid is then freeze dried and micronized into a very fine powder.
The powder is then transported to Rochway’s own certified organic lab called “BJP laboratories fermentation plant” where it is fermented over a period of 21 days with multi strain probiotic species.

After a five stage probiotic/fermentation process the liquid is drained and bottled, the pulp and fibre (prebiotics) are again freeze dried and again micronized into fine powder that is encapsulated in hard gel veggie capsules from Pfizer. The capsules are as powerful as the liquid concentrate, although some research suggest that the liquid is better absorbed.

Papaya Leaf Extract is available in 500 ml liquid and 60 capsule bottles.
Papaya is one of the world’s most research products with more than 80 research publications for its health giving benefits.

International doctors and researchers conducted an extensive study on effects of Papaya on
cancer and their findings, which were published on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology conclude that Papaya Leaf Extract and Papaya Leaf Tea  have “dramatic cancer-fighting properties against a broad range of tumors”.

Nam Dang from the University of Florida teamed up with researchers from Japan to test the anti-cancer effects of dry Papaya Leaf Extract against cervix cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer and found that the higher the dose of Papaya Leaf Extract was used, the more it impacted the tumor.

Cancer fighting properties of Papaya Leaf were attributed to increased production of key signaling molecules called Th1-type cytokines, which are known regulators of the immune system. Papaya extract helps to stimulate these Th1-type cytokines which in turn promote the ability of patient’s immunity to destroy cancerous cells. With proper boost, the immune system is able to fight various types of cancers without the need of harmful procedures such as chemotherapy or radiation. And since Papaya has no toxic effects on normal cells, its consumption goes without side effects.

Ten different cancer type cells were exposed to Papaya Leaf Extract for 24 hours and each of the cultures experienced slower tumor growth after exposure. Researchers repeated the test with exposure to Papaya Leaf Extract of different strengths and recorded the results for each. In conclusion, higher doses of Papaya Leaf Extract showed more powerful impact on tumor growth. Since according to this study, Papaya is able to slow down the growth of any type of tumor, no matter which type of cancer you are suffering from, Papaya could help you fight it.

In developing countries, traditional fermentation serves many purposes. It can improve the taste of an otherwise bland food, enhance the digestibility of a food that is difficult to assimilate, preserve food from degradation by noxious organisms, and increase nutritional value through the synthesis of essential amino acids and vitamins.

Most primitive cultures, even today, lacto-ferment their grains, beans, fruits, vegetables and dairy products before eating them. Many African people eat a sour millet porridge called “ogi” as a staple food. Ethiopians ferment teff (a tiny, highly nutritious grain available at the Co-Op) before making it into bread. In India, rice and beans are fermented and then turned into “idli” and “dosas.” In Europe, oats were traditionally fermented before being made into porridge.

Many fermented foods are still available today, although, unfortunately, too often they are heat treated for “safety,” thereby killing off all of the beneficial micro-organisms that make lacto-fermented foods such a boon to health. Even though foods such as sauerkraut, sourdough bread, beer, wine, miso, tempeh, tamari, chutney, yogurt, cultured butter, and cheese are all fermented products and widely available today, supplementation has become vital to modern-day living and health.

What is so wonderful about fermented foods/fermented Papaya supplementation?
The question requires a two-fold answer:
First, fermentation neutralises unhealthy chemicals found in grains and beans.

and

Second, it adds a host of beneficial micro-organisms to food, making them more digestible and increasing the healthy flora in our intestinal tracts.

Grains and beans all contain an acid, myoinositol-hexa, or phytic acid. Phytic acid blocks the absorption of calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. A diet high in unfermented whole grains can lead to mineral deficiencies and bone loss. Although this appears to contradict all that we have learned about whole grains, it really only means that it has taken decades of research for us to get back to eating the way our great-great grandparents knew how to eat. We now understand that their process of fermenting grains and beans before eating them neutralized phytic acid. It also neutralizes enzyme inhibitors and breaks down gluten, sugars, and other difficult to digest elements in grains and beans.

Although humans are easily able to digest most vegetables without fermentation, and indeed need fresh vegetables for optimum health, a small amount of fermented vegetables/supplementation, eaten with every meal, adds valuable micro-organisms and enzymes to meals, particularly to cooked meals. Dairy products also benefit tremendously from fermentation, which adds natural lactase, as well as many other wonderful factors, making dairy more digestible, particularly for those who are lactose sensitive.

Please note that Tofu is unfortunately not fermented. Soybeans have an unusually high phytate content, and are best eaten fermented. Tempeh should replace tofu as a staple food of vegetarians and vegans.

While we have been constantly bombarded with the health dangers of saturated fats and cholesterol, there is a more vicious health robber that has not caught the full attention of the medical community: sugar.

Of course, we know of the direct link between sugar and diabetes but beyond that, what do we know of the possible consequences of eating too much sugar. Not much I’m afraid. What we haven’t been told is that sugar excess is a recipe for health disaster. How can that be?

When we have excess sugar in our system, it initiates a biochemical process called glycation. Glycation is a process in which sugar molecules hook up or cross-link with proteins, lipids and body cells and tissues. The cross-linking leads to the formation of mutant molecules called Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs).

How bad are these rogue sugar molecules (AGEs)? According to a board-certified family medicine doctor and integrative medicine practitioner, Dr. Michael Cutler, MD, these are the destructive effects of AGEs to our cells:

“Collagen makes up one-third of your body’s proteins and has a slow turnover rate. That’s why collagen is especially vulnerable to glycation.
But glycation causes healthy collagen strands to loose their elasticity and firmness and this can result in premature wrinkles, dryness and sagging.

A study printed in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences show young human skin cells age rapidly when exposed to glucose.
So when there’s too much sugar in your body, collagen breaks down because of glycation
and inflammation, as well as AGEs occur. As a result, your skin becomes stiff and looses its natural elasticity.

As you get older, your body’s ability to naturally prevent glycation decreases and this speeds up the aging process. These mutant AGEs are useless compounds that turn your healthy, soft, supple tissues as stiff as a board. Plus, AGEs crowd out your healthy cells and rob them of essential nutrients they need to stay alive. Since AGEs operate “under the radar” within your immune system, they can secretly accumulate in your body for years and trigger a host of health problems.

For example…
When sugar molecules cross-link with protein cells in your eyes, they become mutant AGEs that turn your soft, delicate, crystalline lens cloudy and hard—and wreck your eyesight…
When sugar molecules “hook-up” with arterial proteins, they create AGEs that harden your soft and flexible arteries until your veins become so stiff and thick, healthy blood flow can be very difficult…
And when sugar molecules bind with collagen cells, these nasty AGEs build up and dry out your skin layers to create premature aging and wrinkles—making you look old before your time!
What’s more, AGEs can turn the lacy tissues in the filter units in your kidneys, called nephrons, into fibrous, rubbery compounds that block healthy kidney function…
AGEs put a heavy coat of gunk on delicate nerve tissues and prevent them from properly communicating with your brain…
And they create inflammation in your brain cells that can hinder your memory recall and create serious “senior moments!”
With the potential negative effects of AGEs to our eyes, skin, brain, arteries/veins, kidneys, it is about time for us to seriously consider how we can control our daily sugar intake. This can be a really challenging task. How so? Sugar is present in many foods that may be served on our dining table. And if you have a sweet tooth, staying away from sugar is going to be an uphill battle.

Dr. Cutler also made the point that…

• An average 12-ounce (oz.) can of soda contains about 8 teaspoons of sugar. That means four 12-oz. cans of soda equals 1/3 lb of sugar! For most people, drinking four cans of soda a day is no big deal!
• Even if you don’t drink sodas regularly, the average American eats about 31 tsp, or 124 grams (g), of added sugar every day. That sugar alone adds up to almost 500 extra calories—about 25% of your average daily caloric intake!
• Sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup are found in salad dressings, breads, hot dogs, peanut butter, pickles, canned fruits and vegetables, ketchup, canned soups, crackers, cookies and several other food products. And don’t forget honey and molasses are sugars, too!
• Sugar also hides under different names. For example, sugar names can end in “ose” like sucrose, glucose, dextrose, lactose, maltose and fructose. Even more sneaky are the “ols” which are basically sugar alcohols. A lot of chewing gums and breath mints have these sugars in them. You may have seen them as sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol and maltitol.
• Sugar is not in just foods you eat. It’s also readily found in cough drops… toothpaste… lipstick… and even laxatives!

Recently scientific research has shown that the active ingredient in Olive Leaf Extract, oleuropein, has powerful healing properties against bacterial and viral infections.

For thousands of years Olive Leaf Extract has been used as a natural antibiotic. It is only after 1969 that the active components, elenol acid and calcium elenolate were isolated. In over 30 microorganisms tested the active components inhibited the growth of every virus, bacteria, fungi and protozoa.

In 1992 French biologists found that all of the herpes viruses were inhibited or killed by the anti-viral action of oleuropein extracted from Olive Leaf. The anti-viral activity of Olive Leaf Extract is due to the action of oleuropein on the protein coat of the virus. It is thought to inactivate bacteria by dissolving the outer lining of the microbe.

Olive Leaf Extract’s anti-viral activity has shown positive results with people with gut dysbiosis and compromised immune systems like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is associated with immune dysfunction, which presents it self as chronic or recurrent viral or bacterial infections.

Dr. Martin , head of molecular immunopathology at the University of Southern California Medical Center has discovered unusual retroviruses in a high percentage of patients with Chronic Fatigue.

Olive Leaf Extract builds the immune system by stimulating phagocyte production.

It is an excellent antioxidant and inhibits the harmful oxidation of LDL, the so-called “bad cholesterol”. It is especially good for the heart, circulation the arteries and may result in an increase in energy.
Scientists have discovered that no toxic or other adverse side effects are evident, even in high doses. It is a safe and highly effective food supplement with potent and proven anti-microbal action.

Through a carefully controlled process the combined ingredients of fresh olive leaf extract and
fermented papaya leaf produce a complex mix of highly available bioactive compounds. The end product is available as a liquid or freeze-dried powder in capsules.

Olive Leaf Extract with MultiplyPLUS is manufactured by BJP Laboratories in Brisbane, Rochway’s own manufacturing plant. This facility is regulated by the TGA (Therapeutical Goods Administration) one of the strictest regulatory boards in the world.
This product is made without the use of herbicides or pesticides and is therefore certified to be non genetically modified (Organic/GMO free).

Currently in Western societies, the healthy intestinal flora of many people is compromised due to the modern diet, consumption of antibiotics and other prescribed or recreational drugs, smoking, and other factors such as stress and pollution. As a result, many people have symptoms of poor digestion, gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea.

There is a renaissance or renewed interest in probiotics supplementation for digestive support. Probiotics have garnered more mainstream acceptance, and ever increasing numbers of Americans are opening to enhancing their digestive health with natural products. Naturally attributed to the growing amount of research suggesting probiotics can lower the risk or limit the progression of digestive ailments, including constipation and diarrhea, IBS, general intestinal viruses and antibiotic-associated infections.

Depending on genetic make-up, dietary habits, age, medications, stress levels and physiological conditions, the composition of intestinal micro-flora will vary from person to person. Probiotics supplementation continue to lead the pack when it comes to proactive nutraceutical treatments; they are ideal for individuals who consume little fiber or fermented foods, are taking antibiotics, have repeated intestinal or vaginal infections or travel frequently. Probiotics have been well researched and their major functions are metabolic activities that salvage nutrients, support immune health and protect the body against pathogenic microbes.

Research in the field of probiotics continues to unfold great opportunities and not just for digestive health, there is increasing evidence in the system benefits of probiotic supplementation particularly in the area of immune system stimulation and weight loss.
We have only begun to discover the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of benefits that probiotics offer the human body when they are in sufficient numbers within the digestive system (and throughout the rest of the body). It is well known that we can effectively prevent or take care of a yeast infection with acidophilus, and if we can re-establish strong enough healthy colonies, help to prevent their recurrence. But are you aware that it is probiotics that are needed to bring the body back into balance for countless other illnesses and conditions as well?
Although many dermatologists treat severe acne with multiple rounds of antibiotics, it is, in reality, the beneficial microflora that are really what is needed for long-term benefits for good skin health. Too often, people with acne who are treated with antibiotics will find temporarily relief, then experience years of auto-immune conditions following treatment. Had they been provided with high quality probiotics in sufficient numbers instead, the acne will usually clear up quickly and the immune system will then be strengthened, helping to prevent a future acne issue or many other immune concerns.

Probiotics help the body to convert the valuable nutrients from our healthy food into the form that our cells can use. Without them, we can eat all the most nutritious foods available, but we won’t be able to utilize them properly. Probiotics create several vitamins and other nutrients in the process, including the entire B complex to nourish skin, hair and the nervous system.

Probiotics create or increase the bioavailability of several antioxidants including lipoic acid, glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD). These powerful detoxifiers assist the liver in removing or rendering thousands of toxic chemicals that we are exposed to every day through food, water, skin and even the very air we breathe.
Probiotics increase energy to the cells, organs and nervous system, helping to prevent fatigue, irritability and depression. They also have been shown to create important nutrients for the brain and nervous system.

Stress, chlorinated water, excess sugar, junk food, antibacterial soaps, chemical exposure, pharmaceutical medications, overuse of antibiotics, as well as the antibiotics received through eating commercially produced eggs, dairy, meats, poultry and farm raised fish all deplete our probiotic colonies. Protecting and replenishing these vital beneficial bacteria is essential for good health.

Rochways MultiplyPlus Probiotic formula is found in Papaya Leaf Extract, Papaya 35 MultiplyPlus and many more of Rochways products. They are all rich in Lactobacillus Acidophilus, antioxidants and Fructose Oligo Saccharides.
MultiplyPLUS was tested and proven to facilitate significant improvement in the body’s natural immunity.

Once enzymes have completed their appointed task, they are destroyed. For life to continue, you must have a constant enzyme supply which requires continual replacement of enzymes.
Enzymes are found in all living cells including raw foods or those that are “cooked” at a temperature lower than 116 degrees Fahrenheit. Enzymes begin to perish when the temperature increases beyond 116 degrees. The degree of enzyme destruction is a function of time and temperature.

Enzymes are primarily proteins, yet enzymes need amino acids for their normal function. Hormones are primarily proteins which require interaction with enzymes to regulate bodily processes.

Enzymes aid in transforming proteins into amino acids. Protein does not perform its function unless broken down into amino acids. Amino acids can be considered as an enzyme carrier whose function is to transport enzymes to various functions in the body.

Enzymes help extract chelated minerals from food. Enzymes transform chelated minerals into an alkaline detoxifying agent which combines with acid cellular wastes and toxic settlements within the body, thus neutralising them and preparing them for elimination.

Enzymes use minerals to create an even balance of dissolved solids both inside and outside the cells, thus equalising both internal and external pressures which we call osmotic equilibrium.
Vitamins are required as coenzymes to work with enzymes in every chemical reaction of the body. Without minerals extracted from food by enzymes, vitamins would be unable to perform their function.
An enzyme deficiency must be carefully considered as a precursor of bodily imbalance and consequent disease symptoms.

Enzymes are therefore justified as a supplemental dietary substance which need is parallel with mineral, vitamin and all other supportive therapies.
(By Dr. John Whitman Ray, N.D., M.D. (M.A.))

Papaya is an amazingly rich source of proteolytic enzymes. The papaya contains an important enzyme called Papain. Papain is found most abundantly in the leaves of the papaya tree and in the skin of the unripe papaya fruit.

For mom, dad and the kids. It's for everyone.

Rising numbers of antibiotic resistant microorganisms in today’s world increase the relevance, and importance, of natural products with antibiotic properties. Olive leaf extract is an old remedy primed to become a modern day boon to strong immunity and good health. It has been used for thousands of years, but recent research, providing it can kill the herpes virus, has resulted in enormous interest for its use today.

After the active components were isolated in 1969, an upsurge of research has resulted in dramatic discoveries. Research by the pharmaceutical company, Upjohn, published by the American Society for Microbiology, found that the active components, elenol id and calcium elenolate, inhibited the growth of every virus, bacteria, fungi and protozoa they were tested against (They tested over 30 microorganisms!).

Dr Renis proved that oleuropein from Olive leaf extract could kill herpes virus. In 1992 French biologists found that all of the herpes viruses were inhibited or killed by extracts from Olive leaf. They included 28 references to the anti-viral action of oleuropein in their report.
Olive leaf extract has an ability to interfere with critical amino acid production essential for viruses. It can penetrate infected cells directly and stop viral replication.

Olive Leaf Extract contain the spread of the infection and can stimulate the immune system response in which cells ingest harmful microorganisms and foreign matter.
