Hi Wilhelm,
I just got this email regarding the Berry Young Juice that I use. I
have taken a good bit of the info out because I am not trying to sell
anyone anything. In the past I've been asked questions from our
members about Essential Oil, thus I thought this info of value to all.
I found the part about the natural antioxidants VERY interesting
because it shows us what JB was onto so many, many years ago. Also the
part toward the end about the Oxygen and electrical component was in
alignment with JB. Hope I am not stepping on any "guideline" toes.
The info on essential oils - especially the clove may also benefit the
group..... if you will allow.
Best wishes always,
lotte
Article on Berry Young Juice
by Dr. David Stewart
The following is an article published in the CARE Newsletter made some
comparing Berry Young Juice and Clove Oil to ordinary foods with
regard to their antioxidant capacity. The article isn't copyrighted.
LONGEVITY IS A BOWL OF BERRIES WITH A DROP OF CLOVE
By David Stewart, Ph.D., Executive Director
Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education
The February/March 2001 issue of Natural Medicine Alert, and Institute
of Natural Medicine contained an article entitled: ?Fruits that
Prevent Cancer and Premature Aging.? It was thoroughly documented with
80 cited references.
According to that article the secret to long, disease-free life may be
to eat lots of fresh berries. Here is why. The aging process is now
largely understood to be the action of free oxygen radicals that arise
in our bodies through normal metabolism and cell function as well as
from external environmental sources. Most free radicals contain
electrically unbalanced oxygen atoms.
***NOTE: this is why we use the Fo with CC - and eat raw fruits &
veggies***
Free radicals can be thought of as partial molecules frantically
looking for their missing parts. This makes them hungry and
aggressive, ready to grab a chunk from whatever tissue is available
(namely a piece of our bodies). Hence, they can cause disease by
disrupting normal function at a cellular level. As long as our bodies
can keep these radicals in check by dissipating them harmlessly, we
stay youthful and healthy.
When we suffer an immune deficiency or experience excess stress from
environmental factors such as ambient radiation, impurities in our air
or water, toxins in our foods, etc., free radicals can be formed in
our bodies at a rate faster than we can handle. These radicals
aggressively attack our own tissues causing unhealthy mutations and
irreversible damage. The consequences of this include accelerated
aging, cancer, and a host of other maladies.
There are foods and substances that absorb free radicals (containing
antioxidants) and the more you partake of these, the more youthful and
disease-free you will remain. Scientists at Tufts University have
developed a scale for the U.S. Department of Agriculture called the
ORAC test. (ORAC = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) The higher the
ORAC score, the more capable that particular food is of destroying
free radicals, thus retarding the ageing process and preventing
cancers and other diseases.
The scientists at Tufts University have determined that Berry Young
Juice has the highest ORAC score of any food on the market.
The top natural antioxidant foods as determined by Tufts University so
far are as follows:
FOOD ORAC SCORE*
Carrots 210
Oranges 750
Beets 840
Raspberries 1,220
Strawberries 1,540
Blueberries 2,400
Chinese Wolfberries 25,300
* based on a 3.5 oz. sample (100 ml)
Cherries, Cranberries, Apricots, Elderberries, Pomegranates and
Huckleberries also score very high, but no fruit or vegetable even
comes close to wolfberries.
Wolfberries (Lyceum barbarum) is the food that keeps the people of
Ningxia Province, China, living to ages of 120-150 and more. They live
that long simply because they never get sick. And they never get sick
because their isolated existence in the high desert is pollution free
and they eat only organic, natural foods high in antioxidants every
day, including wolfberries.
Berry Young Juice is a concentrate of the highest scoring antioxidant
foods in the world. Containing 80% wolfberry juice, it also contains
blueberry, pomegranate, apricot and raspberry juices.
The power of two tablespoons of Berry Young Juice daily is shown in the
following table:
TWO TABLESPOONES OF BERRY YOUNG JUICE
Have the Antioxidant Power of . . .
4 pounds of carrots
2 quarts of carrot juice
8 oranges
1 pint of orange juice
2 pounds of beets
2 cups of beet juice
3 cups of raspberries
2 cups of blueberries
ESSENTIAL OILS HAVE THE HIGHEST ORAC SCORES
Essential oils have the highest ORAC scores of any known substance.
According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference, 2nd Ed., they are as
follows:
ESSENTIAL OIL BOTANICAL NAME ORAC SCORE
Sandalwood (Santalum album) 1,655
Roman Camomile (Camaemelum nobile) 2,446
Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) 2,517
Rosemary (Rosmarianus officianalis) 3,309
Lavender (Lavendula augustifolia) 3,669
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) 5,398
Helichrysm (Helichrysm italicum) 17,420
Lemongrass (Cymbopogen flexuosus) 17,765
Orange (Citrus aurantium) 18,898
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) 24,157
Rose of Sharon (Cistus ladanifer) 38,648
Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamamum verum) 103,448
Mountain Savory (Satureja montana) 113,071
Oregano (Origanum compactum) 153,007
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) 159,590
Clove (Syzigium aromaticum) 10,786,875
Compare these numbers with the berries and you can see how potent
essential oils really are. Clove is the champion of all with an ORAC
score over 10 million!! That means a drop of Clove contains 400 times
more antioxidant per unit volume than wolfberries< the most powerful
of all known fruits.
(Clove oil is a natural preservative and anti-microbial and when
added to your water or BYU, it will not spoil. I keep 6 liters of
treated water in my van because it is very hot where I live and travel
to and from town).
A 15 ml bottle of Clove Oil has the antioxidant capacity of 150 lbs of
carrots, 40 quarts of blueberries or 16 gallons of beet juice.
TWO DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL OF CLOVE
Have the Antioxidant Power of . . .
5 pounds of carrots
2.5 quarts of carrot juice
10 oranges
20 ounces of orange juice
2.5 pounds of beets
1 pint of beet juice
4 cups of raspberries
2.5 cups of blueberries
This info is just given to augment our healing work - I still think it
is very important to consume foods in their whole state for other
important reasons. I simply have found that when I put some Beryy
Young Juice and a drop of clove in my water, it helps me feel so much
more energetic.....especially over long drives.
An associate of mine took 2 bottles of BYJ and a bottle of clove oil
with her on retreat in India for one month during the "hot" season.
She diluted each bottle of BYJ by half with the added drops of clove
oil. She had no disentry or any other illness during her stay and no
loss of energy. Just FYI
