Grape Seed Extract May Beat Chemo in Late-Stage Cancer
Courtesy GreenMedInfo.com -Written By: Heidi Stevenson
The benefits of grape seed extract in cancer are well
documented, but modern medicine won't do anything with it until the
mechanism of action has been found, so that it can be isolated,
purified, made poisonous and owned by a single company for enormous
profits.
The more advanced cancer is, the less effective chemotherapy is. However, a new study has shown that grape seed extract has exactly the opposite quality: The more advanced the cancer, the less extract that's needed to kill it. On top of that, the study also shows that grape seed extract targets the cancer cells that become most resistant to chemotherapy.
In the face of this remarkable new development, it's likely that grape seed extract is more effective in treating late-stage cancer than modern medicine's chemotherapy. Not only does it take less and less of the substance to kill cancer cells, it's able to target the cells that have become drug resistant, thus making chemo useless!
Yet again, the common misperception that modern medicine's treatments are stronger or more potent or better in any way is shown to be mistaken. Sadly, it's a mistake that can kill.
Have you ever noticed how there's so much focus on the idea that cholesterol causes heart disease? It doesn't, but that doesn't deter the ongoing research that assumes it to be true. That's because modern medicine demands to know how something works—or at least to be given an explanation, whether true or not. There's an assumption that, if you know that A is associated with B, then controlling A will prevent or cure B. It doesn't seem to matter if it's true, only that it sounds plausible.
Once a "plausible" mode of action idea has caught on, research funds get directed towards it. A search goes on to find ways to control that presumed connection. That's why we have statins. They're associated with heart disease. They don't cause it, but a seemingly plausible theory was produced saying that cholesterol causes heart disease. Therefore, since statins can reduce cholesterol, they're the first thing a doctor prescribes when someone has any sort of heart disease sign—even just being past the age of 40 or 50.
Statins don't produce health. In fact, they destroy it, causing memory loss, muscle damage, and death. But they're a perfect example of a plausible idea getting research funding, drugs being developed to cause a change in a marker, doctors prescribing it, and enormous profits getting funneled to Big Pharma.
Ultimately, does it matter whether a treatment can meet some arbitrary marker, or is it more important that it heals you? The answer should be obvious—and it is to everyone but a medical system that's gone awry. Modern medicine wants a product that's owned by Big Pharma because that apparently means it's science-based. That it invariably costs an exorbitant amount and doesn't cure isn't of concern. All that matters is that arbitrary markers be met.
Therefore, while it's interesting to learn something about how a treatment works, let's get on with it. Let's focus on the fact that grape seed extract does work and inform people so they can take advantage of it.
We must all make our own choices regarding health. However, the medical world is waiting for a Big Pharma-sanctioned product made from grape seeds—one that will likely have been sliced and diced until all symbiotic interactions with other ingredients are lost and harmful effects naturally mitigated through that symbiotic action are enhanced. Until that time, you won't see grape seed extract offered by any modern medical doctor.
But that doesn't mean you can't take it. At least, right now. The day is coming when agencies like the FDA will tell us that we don't have that right, as discussed in FDA Gives Sole Herbal Product Rights to Big Pharma. We're already seeing parents denied the right to have their children's medical needs treated naturally. If you care about your health, be sure that you can maintain access to all those natural substances that Big Pharma is maneuvering to have taken from us.
Key Ingredients Found In nutraMetrix Isotonix OPC-3®:
Grape Seed Extract 25 mg
Grape seed extract is typically extracted from the seeds of red grapes (instead of white), which have a high content of compounds known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Grape seed extract is extremely rich in polyphenols, compounds with high antioxidant activity. Grape seed extract has been found to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.*
Red Wine Extract 25 mg
Red wine extract is a powerful antioxidant. This extract is found in grape vines, roots, seeds and stalks, with the highest concentration in the skins. The antioxidant properties of red wine extract contribute to maintaining healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries and veins, and promoting overall cardiovascular health.*
In the late 1990s, scientists took note of a phenomenon among the French. There were very low rates of cardiovascular problems in the provinces where residents consistently ate high fat foods and drank red wine. Scientists concluded that the protective properties of red wine have helped the French maintain cardiovascular health for years and subsequent scientific studies have further shown that the OPCs found in red wine are particularly beneficial for protecting the heart and blood vessels.*
Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol®) 25 mg
Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree, which grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France in Les Landes de Gascogne. This unspoiled and natural forest environment is the unique source of pine bark. Pycnogenol is one of the most researched ingredients in the natural product marketplace. Published findings have demonstrated Pycnogenol’s wide array of beneficial effects on the body. Pine bark extract is an all natural combination of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids.
The extract has three basic properties — it is a powerful antioxidant, selectively binds to collagen and elastin, and promotes the normal production of endothelial nitric oxide, which promotes the normal dilation of blood vessels.*
As one of the most potent natural scavenger of free radicals, Pycnogenol combats many aggressive free radicals before they cause oxidative stress to vital organs. Its super-antioxidant capabilities help support healthy blood platelet activity, support healthy blood glucose levels, reduce mild menstrual cramping and abdominal pain, maintain joint flexibility, promote cardiovascular health, promote healthy sperm quality, maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support a healthy complexion.*
Bilberry Extract 25 mg
Bilberry extract is derived from the leaves and berry-like fruit of a common European shrub closely related to the blueberry. Extracts of the ripe berry are known to contain flavonoid pigments known as anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants. Scientific studies confirm that bilberry extract supports healthy vision and venous circulation. Bilberry extract helps maintain healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries and veins.*
Citrus Extract (Bioflavonoids) 25 mg
Bioflavonoids are antioxidants found in certain plants that act as light filters, which protect delicate DNA chains and other important macromolecules by absorbing ultraviolet radiation. They have been found to promote cardiovascular health, help maintain healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries and veins, and demonstrate anti-inflammatory activity.*
The more advanced cancer is, the less effective chemotherapy is.

Grape Seed Extract Exposes Modern Medicine's Failings
The study in question was produced in the University of Colorado Cancer Center and published in the journal Cancer Letters. It was an in vitro study, not in vivo. That is, no living creatures were involved. The study was performed on cell cultures. That might make it seem relatively insignificant. However, much prior research has already documented grape seed extract's ability to control and kill cancer, so that's not in much doubt. What this study discovered is a plausible means by which it happens. This is the kind of information that modern medicine craves.Have you ever noticed how there's so much focus on the idea that cholesterol causes heart disease? It doesn't, but that doesn't deter the ongoing research that assumes it to be true. That's because modern medicine demands to know how something works—or at least to be given an explanation, whether true or not. There's an assumption that, if you know that A is associated with B, then controlling A will prevent or cure B. It doesn't seem to matter if it's true, only that it sounds plausible.
The "Plausible" Mode of Action
Rather than focusing on what really counts—survival and return to health—medicine focuses on markers that are based on plausible modes of action.Once a "plausible" mode of action idea has caught on, research funds get directed towards it. A search goes on to find ways to control that presumed connection. That's why we have statins. They're associated with heart disease. They don't cause it, but a seemingly plausible theory was produced saying that cholesterol causes heart disease.

Health Benefits of Grape Seed Extract
It's well established that resveratrol, which is found in both grape seeds and skins, is the active ingredient that does so much good. So, what can resveratrol, or grape seed or grape skin extract do for you? Let's take a look at what studies have shown:- Pancreatic cancer cell proliferation is inhibited by resveratrol.
-
Resveratrol is protective against several types of viruses, though the means by which protection is accomplished is unknown:
- Herpes simplex 1 infections.
- Varicella zoster (chicken pox and shingles)
- Human cytomegalovirus
- Epstein-Barr virus
- Enterovirus type 71 (which can cause paralysis, including the heart)
- Growth of colorectal cancers are halted by resveratrol.
- Resveratrol has been shown to stimulate cognitive function in mice.
- Fungal infections, which are notoriously difficult to treat, have been shown to respond to resveratrol, and without the adverse effects of standard drug therapy.
- Resveratrol exerts a protective effect on the cardiovascular system.
- Autoimmune myocarditis in rats was shown to improve with application of resveratrol.
- Alzheimer's disease may be warded off by grape seed extract.
- Head and neck cancer cells are destroyed by resveratrol, but healthy cells are unharmed.
