Alfalfa sprouts with cherries lowers cholesterol. Can't say I've thought about putting alfalfa sprouts and cherries together in a dish, but maybe I should start! In a preliminary study, researchers in the department of molecular pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Southern California's School of Pharmacy observed a strong antioxidant synergy between alfalfa and acerola cherry extracts that may help reduce oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. It could be the flavonoids from the sprouts working together with vitamin C from the cherries. |

Cherry Juice Can Help
In a 1950 study, 12 patients with gout ingested one-half pound of cherries per day (or an equivalent amount of cherry juice), with no other dietary restrictions. In all 12 cases, serum uric-acid levels fell to normal, and the patients had no further attacks of gout. Cherry juice appeared to be as effective as whole cherries. While most of the results were obtained with black cherries, sweet yellow and red sour cherries were also effective.4 We have been impressed by the effectiveness of cherry juice as a treatment for acute gout. |

Earlier this year, the agency sent threatening letters to 29 cherry growers, warning them to remove all links to scientific literature describing the anti-inflammatory effects of phytonutrients found in cherries. Merely linking to such studies from a web page, the FDA warned, instantly transformed cherries into drugs requiring FDA approval. The FDA believes that the dissemination of scientific information about the health benefits of fruits, vegetables and plants simply cannot be tolerated. |

Censored scientific information about the benefits of natural foods like cherries by threatening cherry growers with legal action if they did not remove scientific information about cherries from their websites. (See FDA tyranny and the censorship of cherry health facts)
Pursued and shut down companies selling genuine cancer cures that provably work better than any prescription drug (such as Lane Labs' MGN-3).
Vigorously argued against making "optimal health" a goal of the Codex Alimentarius discussions, striking the phrase from the final report. |

Cherry juice appeared to be as effective as whole cherries. While most of the results were obtained with black cherries, sweet yellow and red sour cherries were also effective.4 We have been impressed by the effectiveness of cherry juice as a treatment for acute gout. In many cases, relief of pain and inflammation is rapid, and anti-inflammatory drugs are unnecessary. However, some patients do not improve significantly unless they drink a full quart of cherry juice daily. We do not know how cherry juice works or what is the active ingredient.

The FDA warned the cherry growers that if they continued to post scientific studies about cherries, the agency would consider cherries to be "unapproved drugs" and ban their sale in the United States while arguing that cherries have never been proven "safe and effective." That's the FDA for you -- blatant censorship and a good dose of plain old racketeering to boot. Only in today's outlandish system of monopoly medicine could someone look at a cherry and call it a drug.

Cherries are especially recommended; the patient should consume xli pound of fresh or canned cherries a day.
Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body weight. Lose weight if overweight.
Cherries are particularly effective in lowering uric acid levels and preventing attacks of gout. cherries, hawthorn berries, blueberries, and other dark red-blue berries are rich sources of constituents called anthocyani-dins and proanthocyanidins. These compounds give those fruits their deep red-blue color, and have the ability to prevent breakdown of collagen in connective tissue. |

Bottom line: eat high ORAC antioxidant-rich fruits (apple peel, grapes, pomegranates, cherries, blueberries). Juicing may be advantageous but poses challenges in having to consume high volumes of food and to maintain fresh stocks in the kitchen. Greens formulas (drinks, powders) may or may not be advantageous and should be labeled for their ORAC values to help consumers evaluate their antioxidant power. The addition of a relatively small amount of fruit extracts to a multivitamin regimen could deliver the ORAC antioxidant power needed when the body is challenged by oxidative stress. |

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. 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. |

Substances in cherries, called anthocyanocides, are very effective at lowering uric acid levels, says Walter Crinnion, N.D., a naturopathic doctor and director of Healing Naturally in Kirkland, Washington.
How many cherries should you eat? According to traditional healing lore and very preliminary research, eating anywhere from V2 cup to 1 pound (about 70) of cherries a day may help people with gout, says Laurie Aesoph, N.D., a naturopathic doctor in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Eating a pound of cherries a day can help prevent a gout attack or abort an attack in progress, Dr. Holder says. |

That's why the FDA has resorted to censorship and intimidation, using the tactics of organized crime operations to threaten cherry growers and marketers into removing any information from their websites that might reveal the truth about the exciting health benefits of cherries. The CherryFlex manufacturer, for example, cannot even link to this very article without being threatened or raided by the FDA!
In 2006, the Life Extension Foundation published an excellent article about the FDA's censorship of cherry growers. It's called FDA Threatens to Raid Cherry Orchards. |

Eating a pound of cherries a day can help prevent a gout attack or abort an attack in progress, Dr. Holder says. But rather than eating all those cherries, he suggests that you pit them and blend them with distilled water to make juice. Avoid store-bought cherry juice, since pasteurization removes anthocyanin. |

Department of Agriculture, the iron- and copper-binding molecules called polyphenols in some foods (particularly grapes, berries, cherries, olives, cocoa, tea and citrus rind) account for most of the antioxidant capacity of fruits and vegetables. [J AOAC Int 83: 950-56, 2000] A plentiful supply of polyphenols (sometimes called bioflavonoids) may not be provided in the best plant food diet or supplement regimen. Interestingly, it was found that a major measure of oxidation was not reduced among vegetarians compared to non-vegetarians. |

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. |

Small molecules, such as found in grapes, olives, garlic, pomegranates and cherries, are able to pass through cell walls and the nucleus of cells to switch genes on or off. Small molecules like allicin from garlic, resveratrol from grapes, quercetin from onions, hy-droxytyrosol from olives, influence so many genes they are being heralded as the drugs of the future.
Many people falsely believe that to concede that alternative cancer therapies are ineffective gives tacit credence to often despised toxic conventional treatments. |
| Antioxidants extracted from pomegranates, onions, cranberries, grape skins, olives and cherries protect DNA from breakage by radiation or free radical bullets. The growth of cancer is inhibited by removing iron and copper from tumors through the use of rice bran extract (IP6). IP6 is also required to repair double-strand DNA breaks (where the DNA breaks at both ends). Resveratrol, known as a red wine molecule, activates a DNA repair gene (Sirtuin 1) and blocks cancer at all three stages of development (initiation, growth and spread), which is more than any anti-cancer drug can do. |

History & Folklore Dioscorides, a lst-century AD physician, claimed that cherries relieve gas. The 16th-century herbalist John Gerard recorded the French custom of hanging cherries in houses to ward off fever. Medicinal Actions & Uses In European herbal medicine, cherry stems have long been used for their diuretic and astringent properties. They have been prescribed for cystitis, nephritis, urinary retention, and for arthritic problems, notably gout. cherries can be a helpful part of an overall regimen treating arthritic problems. Cherries' high sugar content makes them mildly laxative. |

You'd have to chew your way through a whole lot of cherries to get the same nutrition.
Plus, softgels are easy to take to work or carry on a plane. They're portable and convenient, and this particular supplement contains absolutely no chemical preservatives or fillers. The soft gel capsule is made primarily out of gelatin and beeswax. (Please note: It is not vegan due to the gelatin.)
I think it's an outstanding nutritional supplement, and that's why I agreed to publicize this unique offer for NewsTarget readers. |

He also cited twelve others who had cured their gout by eating cherries or drinking cherry juice. Soon afterward Prevention magazine added to the mystery and mystique by publishing Dr. Blau's advice to use cherries as gout medicine. Dozens of gout victims wrote in to testify that eating cherries—fifteen to twenty-five a day initially and ten a day afterward as a maintenance dose—had relieved their suffering and pain.
Dr. Blau admitted he had no scientific reason to explain why cherries worked. Neither does anyone else, apparently. |

If people knew the truth about the anti-inflammatory benefits of cherries, the sales of arthritis drugs would plummet...)
In talking to the CEO of FruitFast, I learned they were about to launch a nationwide radio advertising campaign to offer this 30-day supply of their CherryFlex product to the public. Through phone negotiations, I was able to encourage the FruitFast company to hold off on their national radio advertising campaign and, instead, reserve 20,000 bottles of CherryFlex exclusively for NewsTarget readers! But this offer is only good for the next few days, while supplies last. |
