Subject: OPC in Practice book and video offer Date: Sat, 17 Aug 1996 21:06:52 +1000 From: "anonymous" To: [log in to unmask] "OPC in Practice", Prof. Jack Masquelier, 1995, ISBN 88-86035-13-6. Published by Alfa Omega Editrice, Rome, ITALY. This book brings the hidden story of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC). OPC is nature's most powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It features the discoverer of OPC, French Professor Jack Masquelier. Masquelier was the first to isolate OPC. He also invented and patented OPC's tremendous antioxidant capacity. OPC, a blend of special bioflavonoids, reduces free radical-caused tissue damage many times more effectively than vitamin E, potentiates the health-giving effects of vitamin C, and protects brain and nerve tissue with its nearly unique ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. It also reduces inflammation and improves circulation, both relieving the distresses of arthritis diabetes and stroke and promoting prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer. And its ability to bonds to collagen promoted renewed youthfulness, flexibility and body integrity, even allowing it to function as an "oral cosmetic" In terms of human health and medical science, his achievements equal the discovery of vitamins. In a comprehensible manner professor Masquelier reveals why OPC succeeded where bioflavonoids failed in health and nutrition. In addition, Masquelier helps us grasp the vast implications of his American Free Radicals Scavenging patent on human health. He also explains why the French have the lowest cardiovascular mortality in the world and how OPC plays a major role in this "French Paradox". We recommend this book and video to all health professionals and other individuals interested in preserving better health and longevity.
