Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Oz, a.k.a. Doctor Oz was born just three days prior to my own on June 11, 1960 in Cleveland Ohio. I would like to say, the gemini’s are twins, however, his credentials are more impressive then mine. Being of Turkish-American descendant…. this Cardiothoracic Surgeon educated at University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Medical School.
Doctor Oz has been a Professor at the Department of Surgery at Columbia University, since 2001 and also Directs the Cardiovascular Institute and Complementary Medicine Program at New York’s Presbyterian Hospital. Soooo… when a doctor of that caliber with those types of credentials preach we should all listen and take note.
Doc Oz has been on several television shows, videos, while having a show of his own when he speaks of the important benefits of antioxidants maybe their is jest to the theory. When I think antioxidants the first thing that pops to mind is ACES (vitamin A, C, E & Selenium), as well as the enzymes catalase and super oxide dismutase.
This isn’t even to mention the Mother of all Antioxidants…. “glutathione,” lower then normal levels of any or all of these critical antioxidants enzymes; causes oxidative stress and may damage or kill cells. Much has been written lately of the importance of antioxidants in your diet…. with the best source being tooted about lately being Noni Juice.
Noni being a Polynesian Folk Medicine has drawn acclaim as the perfect cancer preventive agent for long term usage in early stage cancer patients. However, like any product not under clinical review or quality control standards. manufacturing procedures will vary, as well as, spectulation of the anti-cancer activity of each individual product.
In some processing due in part to lack of knowledge…. some products will have inconsistent effects. To be effective…. the active ingredients must be concentrated much like Aloe Vera to achieve it’s therapeutic effect. This therby translates into about 500 milligrams for practical therapy purpose for cancer patients which you will be left to do the math.
Another secret about Noni is the enzyme that is an alkaloid which are fantastic griders which gives strength to protein molecules preventing them from breaking down and becoming imbalance. While modifying structures of protein being the most important catalyst we have…. this is why that enzyme “Xeronine” is critical.
Tip #2 for July: When someone of Doc Oz stature and background, not only , mentions the viability and importance of antioxidants, but also, other leading physicians echo his sentiment. Maybe we as Americans should stand up within those mixed reactions toward a subject such as Antioxidants and take heed to the advice being given out.
