What is this stuff?

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana):

If you haven't heard of Mangosteen before now, you're not alone. The fruit is virtually unknown in North America and Europe. However, Mangosteen is so prized by inhabitants of Southeast Asia that it is known as the Queen of Fruit and the Fruit of the Gods. Why? Because the health benefits and delicious taste of the Mangosteen fruit are no secret to them. It's no wonder that during harvest time, it is by far the most popular and most expensive fruit at the markets.

The Mangosteen plant is known for its strong medicinal properties. While most people know about the antioxidant benefits of Vitamins C and E, far fewer are aware of the incredibly potent antioxidant power of Xanthones. Xanthones are natural chemical substances that have recently won high praise from numerous scientists and researchers. Xanthones have been studied for their medicinal potential, since they demonstrate a number of pharmaceutical properties. In 2000, a pharmacological study from a European university indicated the following pharmaceutical properties:

Supports microbiological balance
Maintains immune system health
Promotes joint flexibility
Provides positive mental support

Early inhabitants of Southeast Asia prized the Mangosteen for its enticing flavor, but they also recognized its value in folk medicine. The scientific community has been studying the benefits of the Mangosteen for decades, no one has thought to bring these incredible benefits to the world in a potent, convenient form. Until now.

Taking medicine Doesn't make us healthy. Pharmaceutical drugs are developed for specific effects for a targeted physiological function. They are potent and often toxic to other areas. The holistic properties of plants have multiple and combined benefits without toxicity. It is a fact that most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone, therefore it is prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.

The phytoceuticals of the mangosteen have been widely studied by medical and pharmacological researchers and it is evident that the multiple health benefits of the fruit are supported by scientific investigation. The mangosteen will be the most successful food supplement ever.

Dr. James Duke who worked 35 years for the USDA has cataloged over 138 Mangosteen properties and health benefits, here are a few:

• Protects Heart Muscle (Cardio)
• Anti-Parkinson
• Anti-Alzheimer (Dementia)
• Anti-Depressant (Anxiety)
• Prevents Bacterial Infections
• Prevents Fungus (Anti-Fungal)
• Prevents Gum Disease (Antiperiodontic)
• Lowers Fevers (Antipyretic)
• Prevents Glaucoma & Cataracts
• Energy Booster (Anti-Fatigue)
• Prevents Hardening of the Arteries (Atherosclerosis) Anti-Aging
• Prevents Infections (Anti-Viral)
• Skin Disorders (Dermatitis, Ringworm, Acne)
• Weight Loss (Anti-Obesity)
• Total Body Health (Pansystemic)
• Lowers Blood Fat
• Anti-Tumor Benefits
• Cancer Prevention
• Lowers Blood Pressure
• Lowers Blood Sugar
• Lowers Blood Fat (Anti-Lipidemic)

Noni Juice:

Noni juice supports the immune system, which strengthens the body's natural ability to fight disease and infection. It supports proper digestion, which means you absorb more nutrients at the cellular level. It is good for so many systems of the body, it help give your hair a healthy shine and lets your skin glow. You may notice increased mental clarity, increase attention span, and greater physical performance levels.

Antioxidants:

Noni juice was tested for antioxidant activity, using a standard test method. They also tested samples of grape seed extract, pycnogenol, and vitamin C using the same method. Grape seed extract and pycnogenol are popular antioxidant dietary supplements. Vitamin C is well known as an antioxidant also, especially in the scientific arena. The results concluded that Noni Juice exhibited better antioxidant activity than the others did.

Anti-inflammation:

Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, called non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, exert their effects by suppressing a class of enzymes called cylcooxygenases (COX). Two groups of COX are of
interest, COX-I and COX-II. COX-I is a constitutive enzyme, meaning that it is working all the time and is necessary for the proper maintenance of the body. COX-II is an induced enzyme, meaning it turns on when the proper signal is given. These enzymes make various prostaglandins. When you get an injury that results in swelling and causes pain, you can take aspirin, which will suppress the action of both COX-I and COX-II. This will result in some relief, but at the cost of suppressing an enzyme that you do not want to suppress, COX-I, which may cause gastric irritation in some people.

Several new drugs have been developed which target COX-II more than COX-I. The reason for this is that they are safer and easier on the stomach. These are also more expensive than the more common NSAIDs. Noni juice has also been tested to see if it can suppress the COX system. The results were that Noni juice selectively inhibited COX-II more than COX-I.

Immune System:

Some of the best Morinda citrifolia research was conducted at the University of Hawaii by Dr. Anne Hirazumi Kim. She demonstrated that noni fruit juice has an anti-tumor effect in mice against a human tumor cell line, Lewis lung carcinoma. She discovered that the possible mechanism for this anti-tumor effect was through the immune system. Noni fruit juice stimulated the branch of the immune system that destroyed tumor cells. She further used isolated whole human blood to determine if human immune cells would likewise be stimulated. In her laboratory experiments, the immune cells were stimulated.

What the doctors have to say:

Dr. Mian-Ying Wang

Dr. Wang, of the University of Illinois, had discovered that Noni juice can reduce the amount of DNA damage in animals that can occur due to powerful chemical mutagens (chemicals that break the DNA and cause mutations). She received approval from the university to expand her research into a human clinical trial, using heavy smokers as the test group. Cigarette smoke contains chemicals that cause DNA damage and consequently may increase the risk for developing cancer. Dr. Wang's initial findings in these people are positive.

Dr. Ralph Heinicke:

Dr. Heinicke has patents for Xeronine. He has stated that noni fruit contains a precursor for Xeronine, called Proxeronine. Proxeronine is converted to Xeronine in the body. Xeronine's physiological effect is in the modification of the structure of proteins. Thus Xeronine can have a wide range of effects. When a protein, such as an enzyme or cellular transporter, is not in the appropriate structure, it will not work properly. Xeronine will interact with the protein and cause its to fold into its proper conformation (shape). Thus the result is a properly functioning protein. Proteins form many parts of the cell. Whenever a problem arises in the cell due to a protein structural problem, Xeronine will be helpful.

Tibetan Goji BerryJuice:

Research has revealed goji contains polysaccharides, amino acids, trace minerals, protein, antioxidants, vitamins, essential fatty acids and more. Read below and see for yourself.

Goji Berries contain:

4 types of polysaccharides which fortify the immune system. These polysaccharides are "Master Molecules" and command and control many of the body's most important defense systems.

19 amino acids - the building blocks of protein - including all eight that are essential for life... this is unheard of in the plant world.

21 trace minerals, including germanium, a trace mineral rarely found in foods.

More protein than whole wheat (13 percent).

A complete spectrum of antioxidant carotenoids, including beta-carotene (a better source than even carrots!) and zeaxanthin (supports the eyes).

Vitamin C at higher levels than even those found in oranges.

B-complex vitamins, necessary for converting food into energy.

Vitamin E (very rarely found in fruits, only in grains and seeds).

Essential fatty acids

Betaine, which is used by the liver to produce choline.

Goji berries are the richest source of carotenoids of all known foods.

Acai Elixir continued ...

high in B vitamins, essential fatty acids and omegas, minerals, fiber, natural proteins, antioxidant anthocyanins and ellagic acid. This Kosher and Vegetarian ("Vegan") certified elixir is made with wild harvested organic Acai berries, with pomegranate, raspberry, elderberry and other antioxidant rich juice extracts. This synergic blend of juices creates a super antioxidant plus ellagic acid, which contains a naturally occurring phenolic compound that also has very strong anti-oxidant properties.

• Ellagic Acid is a potent anti-carcinogen.
• Ellagic Acid has the ability to inhibit mutations within a cell's DNA.
• Ellagic Acid is considered to be a cancer inhibitor with the ability to cause apoptosis (normal cell death in cancer cells).
• In addition, research has found that Ellagic Acid has antibacterial and anti-viral properties.

Each bottle contains more actual straight, premium Acai juice than any other brand! The MLM and reseller brands are made with either a concentrate or powder, which is reconstituted with water. This greatly diminishes the quality of the juice. Our Acai berries are wild grown in the Amazon Rain Forest and they are hand picked and cold pressed to extract the juice - pure, perfect Acai berry juice.

The Acai Berry (Euterpe Oleracea):

The Acaí berry, or Acaí Fruit (ah-sigh-ee) grows on Acai palms in the Amazon Rainforest and is similar to a grape. The Acaí berry itself is 90% nut and 10% pulp and must be carefully processed before it can be made into a juice. Acaí berries offer a delicious tropical berry flavor and have exceptional nutritional qualities. Acaí contains high levels of Antioxidants, Omega Fatty Acids (healthy fats), Iron, Amino Acids, Fiber, and many other vitamins and minerals. The native peoples of the Amazon have consumed Acaí for hundreds of years. In the recent past the popularity of Acaí has spread. There have been major network news stories about Acai and even Oprah Winfrey have touted the healthful qualities of Acai.

Acai Berry is known for its qualities as a:

• Antioxidant
• Anti-bacterial agent
• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-mutagenic (Anti Aging)
• Cardiovascular System Booster
• Aphrodisiac

Acaí berries contain very high amounts of essential fatty acids & omegas proven to lower LDL & HDL cholesterol levels. They are also a remarkable concentration of antioxidants to help combat premature aging. Acaí Berry is a dense source of a particular class of flavonoids called anthocyanins. The ORAC value of Acaí Berry is higher than any other edible berry in the world!. Acaí Berry is also an excellent source of dietary fiber!

Acaí is extremely rich in organic vegetable protein, which does not generate cholesterol during its digestion and is processed and transported to your muscles more easily than animal protein (such as in milk or meat). Besides its outstanding content of protein and unsaturated lipids, Acai is also rich on carbohydrates which provide your body with the necessary energy while working or practicing any kind of sport.

Medical research studies conducted on the Acaí berries indicate:

• An amazingly high concentration of levels of antioxidants which combat premature aging.

• The proanthocyanidine contents in Acaí berries are 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins (these are the purple colored antioxidants) in red wine per volume. Although the French have a high fat diet, they have a low incidence of cardio vascular disease compared to the western countries. They attribute this factor to their consumption of red wine.

• Acaí berries can help a promote a healthier cardio vascular system and digestive tract, because of its synergy of monounsaturated these are the healthily) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols.

• An excellent source of fiber! Fiber promotes a healthy digestive system. Research studies suggests soluble fibers may help lower blood cholesterol, and the insoluble fiber may help to reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancers.

• Essential amino acid complex along with trace minerals, which are vital for proper muscle contraction and regeneration.

• Aside from the energy and fluid replacement, Acaí berries provide a nutrition profile complete with vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids (omega 3, 6 & 9).

• The fatty acid ratio in Acaí resembles that of olive oil. Studies suggest this is a contributing factor to the low incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean populations.

• Acaí berries contain plant sterols including beta-sitosterol. Today, sterols are being used to treat associated benign prostate dyperplasia. These plant sterols have also been shown to help control cholesterol as well as act as precursors to many important substances produced by the body.

• Omega Fatty Acids: (Omega 9, Omega 6, and Omega 3). These mono-saturated essential fatty acids help lower LDL (harmful cholesterol) while maintaining HDL (beneficial cholesterol). This unique ratio resembles the same combination as olive oil. Omega fatty acids combat heart disease by increasing healthy cell development. Omega fatty acids are essential for healthy nervous system development and regeneration. They help rapidly repair and rejuvenate muscles after intense exercise.

• Amino Acids: Acai berries contain an almost perfect essential amino acid complex. This is vital for proper muscle contraction and regeneration, and for endurance, strength, sustained energy and muscle development.

• Natural Vitamin E: to protect against aging.

• Theobromine: acts as a bronchial dilator to help open air passage ways in the lungs. This increased air capacity helps in oxygen intake, which increases endurance, strength, and athletic performance.

• Photosterols: These complex compounds of plant cell membranes are used to treat symptoms associated with BPH, (benign prostate hyperplasia). Photosterols also help promote a healthy cardiovascular system and contributes to a healthy digestive tract.

• Anti-Oxidants: Acai is rich in antocyanins, an essential anti-oxidizer that helps combat premature aging. In fact, Acai has 10-30 times more anthocyanins (purple colored anti-oxidants) that a glass of red wine.

All Natural Hemp Seed Oil continued ...

hemp as a rotational crop because the hemp plant actually gives back nutrients to the soil. Today, the United States is the only industrialized nation where the cultivation of hemp is illegal. Hemp is a necessity for any vegetarian diet. Please visit http://www.VoteHemp.com to find out more and how to get involved.

The Origins:

Hemp was cultivated in China more than 6,000 years ago, from a wild plant that grew in central Asia. The Chinese recognized hemp's amazing nutritional value, and used it as a food source long before soy foods. About a thousand years ago, hemp traveled to Europe, where peasants used the plant in several ways, one of the most popular being the making of hemp butter by grinding the tasty seeds.

A Nutritional Powerhouse:

Hempseed is considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet. Shelled hempseed is packed with 33 percent pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA. A recent report funded by the Canadian government states that hemp protein is comprised of 66 percent high-quality edistin protein, and that hempseed contains the highest percentage of this of any plant source. Hemp also contains three times the vitamin E contained in flax. Unlike soy, hemp is not genetically modified, and it doesn't contain the anti-nutritional qualities commonly found in soy.

What are EFAs?

Because the human body produces no Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), it is important that EFAs be consumed on a regular basis. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of Americans take in too little of one of the most important EFAs--omega-3--which is found in flax, walnuts, deep-water fish, and hempseeds. EFAs are the "good fats" that doctors recommend as part of a healthy, balanced diet. The quality of omega-3 is vital, and can be diminished by oxygen, heat, and light. Thus consume the freshest seeds possible and store them in a dark, cold environment such as a refrigerator. We obtain our seeds exclusively from Canada. Great nutrition never tasted so good.

Breaking News! Ninth Circuit Court Blocks DEA Hemp Rule.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - U.S. COURT of APPEALS for the NINTH CIRCUIT : Late yesterday the Court granted the hemp industry's Motion to Stay the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA's) "interpretive" rule, which was issued October 9, 2001 without public notice or opportunity for comment and would have banned the sale of nutritious hemp foods containing harmless trace amounts of naturally-occurring THC under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) of 1970. Just this week the industry had learned that the Ninth Circuit's Motions panel had referred the industry's Motion to stay to the Merits panel, who had in turn scheduled expedited oral argument for April 8. Due to this turn of events, the industry had not expected that a ruling would be forthcoming on their Motion to stay and was happily surprised to learn that the motion had been granted.

The Motion to Stay was brought jointly by the Hemp Industries Association (HIA) and several major hemp food companies in the U.S. and Canada. The court is currently hearing a substantive challenge to the interpretive rule, and in light of today's ruling, the hemp industry is optimistic that the Court will ultimately invalidate DEA's rule, as one of the prime criteria in granting the Stay was whether the hemp industry is likely to ultimately prevail on the merits of the case. Because trace infinitesimal THC in hemp seed is non-psychoactive and insignificant, the U.S. Congress exempted non-viable hemp seed and oil from control under the CSA, just as Congress exempted poppy seeds from the CSA, although they contain trace opiates otherwise subject to control. The hemp industry is assuring retailers and consumers that hemp food products should continue to be stocked, sold and consumed. Joe Sandler, counsel for the HIA, stated: "The Court's order effectively prevents DEA from enforcing its Interpretive Rule until a final ruling by the Court on the validity of DEA's action. With this stay in effect, all those who sell, import, manufacture, distribute and retail edible hemp oil and seed, and oil and seed products, can continue those activities secure in the knowledge that such products remain perfectly lawful."

Hemp seed has well-balanced protein content and the highest content of essential fatty acids (EFAs) of any oil in nature: EFAs are the "good fats" that, like vitamins, the body does not produce and requires for good health. Dr. Udo Erasmus, an internationally recognized nutritional authority on fats and oils, writes in Fats that Heal "Fats that Kill: Hemp seed oil may be nature's most perfectly balanced oil." Not surprisingly, shelled hemp seed and oil are increasingly used in natural food products, such as corn chips, nutrition bars, hummus, nondairy milks, breads and cereals. In the last few years, the hemp foods industry has grown from less than $1 million a year to over $5 million in retail sales.

The court ruling allows the hemp foods industry segment to continue its phenomenal expansion. Popular hemp foods include pretzels, tortilla chips, energy bars, waffles, bread, salad dressing, and cereal, cooking oil, ice cream and even non-dairy milk. Unlike the U.S., other Western countries (Canada, Germany Australia) have adopted rational THC limits for foods, similar to those voluntarily observed by North American hemp food companies which protect consumers with a wide margin of safety from any psychoactive effects or workplace drug-testing interference (see hemp industry standards regarding trace THC at http://www.testpledge.com). The 10-year-old global hemp market is a thriving commercial success. Unfortunately, because DEA's drug-war paranoia has confused non-psychoactive industrial hemp varieties of cannabis with psychoactive "marijuana" varieties, the U.S. is the only major industrialized nation to prohibit the growing and processing of industrial hemp.

Styrian Domaine Pumpkin Seed Oil continued ...

more and more connoisseurs. KarmicDelights guarantees the quality and taste, as well as place of origin of the seeds where they are milled by locals.

The bottle of oil even comes with a recipe book included!

KarmicDelights is a direct importer of the seeds and oil. For whole sale, please e-mail us.

The Health Value of the Styrian Pumpkin Seeds:

The Styrian pumpkin itself is not used as a food item. It was - if at all - considered suitable for animals only. The vegetable aspect of its fruit was never a contender against other pumpkin varieties that produce more and better fruit pulp than the Styrian pumpkin. However, the seeds of pumpkins have been used for ages as "snack-food" especially in the Mediterranean area with the known "side-effect" of easing and preventing bladder and prostate problems. This effect makes the Styrian pumpkin seeds so valuable today, since the amount of this beneficial ingredient is significantly higher than in any other variety. This amount of medicinal substance is so extraordinary that this Styrian variety is today grown for the seed's ingredients alone, hence only the seeds are harvested and the pumpkin pulp is discarded as "fertilizer" and left on the field. The absence of a hard shell around the seeds makes them even more desirable.

Medicinal Properties:

The specific components are known to prevent bladder and prostate problems, even to shrink enlarged prostate glands in early stages. Minimal amounts of this drug are needed. Pharmaceutical capsules contain only miniscule amounts (e.g. 5000 mg = 5g) of pumpkin seed oil. Chewing a handful of the seeds every other day can easily give a similarly sufficient preventive supply. Also using the oil as salad dressing not only gives the food a pleasant nutty flavor, but contains the wanted ingredients in more than sufficient quantities. But this substance is only present in the cold pressed oil since heating destroys the drug component. Therefore cooking with this oil is not recommended since it removes most of the beneficial property. The process to obtain this oil is complicated and delicate, making the oil a higher priced item, but it is worth its price provided the quality and the purity of the oil is guaranteed.

A special process re-uses the seed paste after the first "virgin" pressing to extract the remnants with oil by resoaking the pulp in this "extractor oil". Often even heat is applied to obtain higher yields. Such oils are much cheaper since they contain only a fraction of the original oil's properties. They are - or should be - properly labeled as "cuts" or re-pressed fractions (containing Pumpkin Seed Oil) and have their use in culinary ventures for their still distinctive nutty flavor. However there is no medicinal value in these oils. Our Oil is 100% pure from first press procedure.

Health Aspects - Food Value:

Styrian pumpkin seeds are rich with vegetable protein. Additionally they contain many important minerals (magnesium, calcium, silicic acid, and others) as well as essential vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C, D, E).Another modern re-discovery of healthy food relates to unsaturated fatty acids, also known as essential fatty acids or EFA for short. These beneficial acids are present in a very high percentage and make the oil a preferred choice of conscious consumers. They also contain a very high percentage of Vitamin E. The absence of a wooden shell made them the undisputed favorite for all new and old pumpkin seed fans. Some users praise the natural seeds as "brain" food recommendable for most students with learning problems and in Austria the oil has for its energizing quality been nicknamed "Styrian Diesel". When roasted and salted the Styrian pumpkin seeds rival or even distance many other nutty snacks, but the medicinal properties are severely reduced by the roasting process. However, the remaining properties make it a favorite choice for nut-lovers preferring its taste over others.
