Grape Seed Extract is a Cancer Fighter - AndThis Grape is the Best
Most folks would agree that plump, juicy grapes are a delicious snack, and healthy, too.
But beyond being nutritious—some nutrients in this sweet treat are proving to be powerful disease fighters.
As you would guess from the name, grape seed extract (GSE) is a nutrient pressed from the seeds of grapes. Laboratory studies have shown that grape seeds contain antioxidants that prevent cell damage caused by free radicals. In Issue #345, I said GSE might be “the most important cancer news you’ll hear this year.”
Now there’s a new development that makes the supplement even more exciting. . .
Continued below…
GSE has been shown to improve the heart and blood vessels… high blood pressure…diabetes…high cholesterol…and it’s a potent “weapon of mass destruction” against cancer cells.
For example, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) published study findings in the January 1, 2009 issue of Clinical Cancer Research showing that GSE is powerful enough to blast away leukemia cells.
According to an AACR statement , a study revealed that after leukemia cells in lab cultures were exposed to grape seed extract, 76 percent of the cancer cells were destroyed! Better yet, healthy cells were not harmed.
Now researchers have found that components of muscadines, also known as scuppernong grapes, may provide a superior form of cancer protection to the extracts of more common grapes. If you’re going to take a grape extract, it looks like this is the one to take.
The marvelous muscadine has that
special something!
Muscadine grapes are native to the southeastern United States. Their color is often dark purple to black, and in some cases bronze.
Their sweet, distinctive taste makes many folks favor this grape for making jelly, juice and wine.
Unlike most grapes that have 19 pairs of chromosomes, muscadines actually have an extra pair of chromosomes, for a total of 20.
The genetic difference helps muscadines survive in climates that would kill most grapes of European origin.
But what it also does is give the skin and seeds of muscadine grapes MORE nutrients and antioxidants than any other grape! This bounty includes:
But the real secret weapon may be this…
Muscadines also happen to be the only grape with another cancer fighting nutrient called ellagic acid.
This nutrient is found in several berries and fruits, such as pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries and even walnuts.
Muscadine grapes appear to be the richest source of ellagic acid discovered so far. Recent studies have found they have more than TRIPLE the amount of ellagic acid of almost any other fruit or berry.
The September 1, 2007 issue of the Cancer Research Journal published results of a study on muscadine grape skins sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
The researchers used a series of human prostate cancer cells, representing different stages of prostate cancer. Their results demonstrated that muscadine skin extract (MSKE) significantly inhibited growth of prostate cancer cells in the laboratory.
MSKE was able to clobber prostate cancer cells by inducing apoptosis, or natural cell death.
An NIH statement said, “the fact that all of the cells studied, which cover the different stages of prostate cancer tumor progression, responded to MSKE suggests that the active compounds in this extract may inhibit tumor development at very early stages.”
Even more encouraging was the fact that MSKE’s destructive effects on prostate cancer cells did not alter the growth of normal human prostate cells.
But the anti-cancer benefits of MSKE aren’t limited to fighting prostate cancer.
An American Association of Cancer Research presentation highlighted additional study results on muscadine grape seed extracts (MSE) and muscadine grape skin extracts (MSKE).
They found these substances had anti-cancer effects on human lung, colon, prostate, skin, brain and breast cancers as well as leukemia, when tested in vitro (in cells cultured in a lab).
Seven days after administering MSKE and MSE they noted the following growth reductions:
At the 2009 AACR Annual Meeting, researchers from Colorado State University produced evidence that nutrients in muscadine grape skin are effective at protecting blood cells and bone marrow cells from radiation treatments administered to leukemia patients.
A study conducted by researchers at the Firat University Medical School in Turkey showed the ellagic acid in muscadine grapes also helps protect normal body tissues against the damaging effects of chemotherapy drugs.
You can easily benefit from the cancer-killing nutrients of muscadine grapes. The seed extracts are sold as nutritional supplements by various distributors.
Now that the ‘secret’ is out—share it with anyone you think might want to increase their odds of remaining cancer free!

One grape variety packs the biggest anti-cancer punch
Summer Shape Up? Get Results Fast With The Metabolism Booster!
Metabolism Booster Workouts
The Metabolism Booster Programs were designed to create an elevated caloric burning rate both during and AFTER a workout. Studies have shown that combining cardiovascular interval training with weight training will enhance the rate at which the body burns calories for up to 10 hours after an exercise session. There are short bouts of aerobic exercise strategically placed within a workout. This makes the program more exciting because there is constant movement and there is no "down time". Just choose between the standard Metabolism Booster Programs, Dumbbell Oriented Metabolism Booster Programs, or focus on a specific area of the body. The Metabolism Booster Program for the entire body will address all body parts, or look into the Metabolism Booster Program in which the exercises are put together so training on consecutive days can occur without running into overtraining problems.
Throughout the length of the Metabolism Booster Programs, the manipulation of the sets and repetitions for each exercise will be based on periodization concepts that involve changing the intensity and the volume of the workouts.
The starting point of the Program is based on an initial fitness level. With feedback, the actual progression of the program will follow the body's unique adaptation process to exercise.
Fine tune the program to include all the exercises that feel the best! Have fun and get healthy!

Track and Field
The Track and Field Programs will work the body to increase strength and power. These key elements are vital if the goal is to reach the greatest potential as a sprinter.

The starting point of the program is based on an initial fitness level. With feedback, the actual progression of the program will follow the body's unique adaptation process to exercise. Fine tune the program to include all the exercises that feel the best!
Sprinting
The Sprinting programs will work your body to increase strength and power. These key elements are vital if you want to reach your potential as a sprinter. This program uses an advanced set and rep matrix which involves something called "phase jumping". Phase jumping means that I have included a set that calls for one rep at an intensity level that is 5-10% higher than the work sets. I have added this set at the end of the descending warmup for the "bigger" or primary strength exercises like squat, power clean, bench etc. The set combinations for these exercises appear rather long but usually half of them are actually warmup based! These phase jumping sets allow your body to neurally adapt to the heavier training poundages that you will experience in the later weeks of your program. Also, I have written a 3 Day Inseason Sprinter workout which is perfect for maintaining the strength and power you developed in the Offseason! Train Hard. Dan
