 But for the rest of us, this cherry concentrate supplement is the next best thing. (See below...)
Can't I just eat cherries to experience these health benefits?
Yes, eating cherries is by far the most natural way to get the natural medicine found in cherries. But many people today are in such pain from arthritis or gout that they need a very large volume of nature's medicine to experience a therapeutic effect.
Can you eat two pounds of cherries a day? That's a lot more difficult to do on a regular basis than simply swallowing a shelf-stable cherry concentrate softgel. |
| REPPED: Over the past four years, I've written extensively about the health benefits of cherries, describing the therapeutic effects of the natural medicines found in cherry skins and explaining how cherry products help eliminate arthritis inflammation, reverse gout and can often replace anti-inflammatory prescription medications like Vioxx or Celebrex. |
| That's a lot more difficult to do on a regular basis than simply swallowing a shelf-stable cherry concentrate softgel. I'm not saying that supplements are better than real food, but for those who need high concentrations of the medicinal components found in food, these supplements can be miracle workers. Eat the food AND take the supplements! (That's what I do.) I eat fresh fruit daily, and I also take fruit concentrates every day. It's one of the reasons I stay so fit and healthy while having no need whatsoever for pharmaceuticals. |

 The same is true with pomegranate juice, or blueberry juice, or even cherry juice. Nothing is quite as good as the fresh juices, which is why I strongly recommend the daily consumption of blended smoothies using a Vita-Mix and some raw, fresh ingredients. When you can get pomegranate seeds in season, it's always better to eat them fresh. They're crunchy and sweet, so buy 'em when you can.
When you can't get them in season, juice is the next best thing, and virtually all the juices on the market are made from concentrate. |

| Not a surprise, given than the company has already been threatened by the FDA and is unable to exercise its free speech rights to tell you the truth about the health benefits of cherry concentrates... |
| I know cherries and cherry concentrates to:
Eliminate arthritis pain better than anti-inflammatory prescription drugs
Eliminate gout
Substantially lower the risk of colorectal cancer
Protect the heart and cardiovascular system from degenerative disease
Help protect the brain and nervous system
Help prevent cancer throughout the body
Perhaps this is why the FDA absolutely cannot stand for the public to learn the truth about the health benefits of cherries. |
| It's a clean, simple and honest one-time offer of a 30-day supply of cherry Flex for the cost of shipping and handling alone. And you can only learn about this offer through NewsTarget.com, as we have the exclusive story on this.
But why would a company give away valuable product for free?
I've encouraged NewsTarget readers to be skeptical consumers, and I'm as skeptical as they come. When I see deals like this, I always ask myself, "Why would they do this?"
First off, I want you to know that I have absolutely no financial relationship whatsoever with the FruitFast company. |

 The FDA’s reclassification of cherry growers as criminals is a violation of every system of law and ethics that we’ve known on this planet. It is a violation of natural law, it is a violation of God’s law, and it is a violation of basic human rights, which include the right to grow and eat food and share that food with your neighbors along with information about what those foods can do to nourish them. |
| It would allow cherry growers, for example, to reference the published scientific studies that report on the healing benefits of the phytochemicals found in cherries.
It is a shame that in this country we even need such a bill, but we do need it, because the level of censorship, oppression, and tyranny now practiced by the FDA has reached its apex, and we must fight back with legislation that ends the tyranny of the Food and Drug Administration and reinforces our right to access information that can help us live happier, healthier and longer lives. |
| And as the Life Extension Foundation explains, the FDA’s interpretation of the law means that cherry growers are “engaged in criminal conduct by relaying findings that have been published in peer reviewed scientific journals.”
So now publishing information makes you a criminal even if that information is scientifically sound and widely known to be absolutely true. If this isn't a blatant violation of the First Amendment, I don't know what is. Where's the Electronic Freedom Foundation on this issue? |
| Food and Drug Administration, is censoring scientific information on the health benefits of cherries and using its power to threaten cherry growers into silence.
More nonsense from the FDA
Amazingly, the FDA doesn’t claim to disagree with the scientific information about cherries. Instead, it says that cherries “have not been recognized as safe and effective when used as labeled. |
| But the FDA, in light of the fact that people are now discovering that cherries are actually good medicine, looks at a cherry and says (paraphrasing), “No, it’s a drug, and you have to have our permission to market it, and if you continue to talk about the health benefits of cherries, we will use our power to put you out of business.”
I’ve often talked about the tyranny of the FDA and its campaign to censor the scientific truth about the healing benefits of natural foods, including cherries and many other items. |
| But it seems that my joke wasn’t so funny after all, because the FDA is now threatening cherry growers with raids to confiscate their cherries, haul them into court, and put them out of business for doing one simple thing that the FDA cannot stand to allow: The distribution of scientific information describing the health benefits of cherries.
On October 17, 2005, the FDA sent warning letters to 29 companies that market cherries. |

 I took one bite of the cherry Cashew flavor and immediately had a taste flashback to grandma's super-sweet cherry cobbler. Except in this case, there's no sugar, no refined grains, and none of the junk found in cherry pie recipes. Just pure ingredients in the Pure Bar.
The Apple Cinnamon bar tastes like apple pie. I'm not kidding. I think it's the addition of the brown rice protein (my top recommended plant-based protein source) that creates a pie crust taste. It's out of this world.
Pure Bar gets an enthusiastic five-star rating from me. |

 For example, as a kid, the author used to love his mother's cherry pie. Over the years, this food transference, psychological attachment to a particular food based on a previous psychologically associated experience, has led the author to order several organic, baked cherry pies that, according to his empirical post-eating response, were not appropriate for him to be eating. Because of the negative feedback of the post-eating experiences and his awareness of the transference, the author has overcome his desire for cherry pie. |

 You know, the cherry pie, it really tastes like cherry pie because it's made with real cherries.
Mike: Right! It does! And it is tart, just the way cherry pies should be.
Lara: Exactly! Because we actually use a tart, unsweetened cherry.
Mike: I saw that. I got very excited about reading the ingredients. I'm kind of an ingredients label geek. And when I saw your ingredients, I knew, “Oh boy! This is gonna be some good food! Gotta talk about this! |

| Oooh!), cherry cashew (Wow!)
Highlights: Simply pure, healthful ingredients. Tastes sinfully good. Slightly pricey but well justified due to quality ingredients.
I'm really impressed with the Pure Bar. Its slogan is, "Way too good to be this good," and I enthusiastically agree. This is a truly delightful raw food bar that's not just organic and raw, it's also vegan and certified Kosher. I took one bite of the cherry Cashew flavor and immediately had a taste flashback to grandma's super-sweet cherry cobbler. |

 Acerola is also known as Barbados cherry, Antilles cherry, West Indies cherry, Puerto Rican cherry, cereso, cereja-das-antilhas and cereja-do-para. In 1945, the Barbados cherry was analyzed by researchers at the School of Medicine, University of Puerto Rico, and was found to be very rich in vitamin C. Interestingly, the analysis was inspired by the use of the fruit for colds by the local people.
Acerola is one of the richest sources of vitamin C in the world. The vitamin C content of the fruit depends on ripeness, seasons, climates and localities. |

 Also notable: cherry growers and cherry product manufacturers have been threatened and intimidated by the FDA over simply linking to scientific articles published in peer-reviewed medical journals which describe the health benefits of natural phytochemicals found in cherries.
The FDA's campaign of censorship and intimidation against nutritional supplement companies has been called "a campaign of terrorism" against U.S. |

 CherryFlex, a low-curb pill that works well for arthritis and is much more convenient than drinking cherry juice.
As a nurse I was skeptical when someone mentioned CherryFlex. Nevertheless, I tried it after the Vioxx disaster and have gotten good relief from arthritis.
Herbs
Long before aspirin was a gleam in Bayer's eye, herbs were used to soothe inflammation and relieve pain. Willow bark, the precursor to modern-day aspirin, was recommended by Chinese healers in 500 BC. The Greek physician Dioscorides prescribed willow bark during the 1st century to ease inflammation. |

 Wild cherry tincture or syrup, 2-4 ml three to four times per day, is sometimes recommended for coughs.3
Are there any side effects or interactions?
Very large amounts (several times the recommended amount above) of wild cherry pose the theoretical risk of causing cyanide poisoning, due to hydrocyanic acid.4 However, this has not been reported in clinical practice. The safety of wild cherry during pregnancy (page 363) has also not been established. |
| Active constituents
Wild cherry bark contains cyanogenic glycosides, particularly prunasin. These glycosides, once broken apart in the body, act to relieve choughs by quelling spasms in the smooth muscles lining bronchioles.2 Although wild cherry is a commonly used ingredient in cough syrups, there are no published clinical trials in humans to support its use for this indication.
How much is usually taken?
Wild cherry tincture or syrup, 2-4 ml three to four times per day, is sometimes recommended for coughs.3
