Nature's Free Radical & Inflammation Solution

by Sherrill Sellman, N.D.

The Challenges of Modern Health

Unlike the health challenges of the past, which were predominantly due to infectious diseases, our modern health epidemics such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, cancer, arthritis, and obesity are fueled by a one-two punch of chronic inflammation and extensive free radical damage to our cells.

In the world of medicine, it is now accepted that inflammation and free radical damage are two of the greatest threats to our health. Inflammation is part of the body's natural defense against irritation, toxic foods and chemicals, infections and other foreign invaders. However, there are times when the appropriate immune response is disrupted. The immune system can then shift into a chronic state of inflammation, which is recognized as a major factor in most chronic health problems. Free radicals are the other great threat, causing oxidative stress within the body, damaging cells and taxing the immune system.

Oxidative stress and inflammation are intimately connected, each fueling the other. A vicious cycle is created: free radical damage leads to inflammation and inflammation causes free radical damage. The key to recovering and preserving our health requires both the quenching of inflammation and the prevention of excessive free radical damage. While many options abound, what is the most effective way to protect against both inflammation and free radical damage?

Natural Free Radical and Inflammation Fighters

Eastern medicine has long known that the seeds of nutritionally rich plants like black cumin, black and red raspberries, Chardonnay grapes, pomegranates, blueberries and cranberries contain exceptional amounts of vital health promoting nutrients. The oils extracted from black cumin seeds are especially nourishing, as they are loaded with antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Another natural powerhouse of nutrition is found in black raspberry seed oil. It is also nutritionally rich, and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It contains dozens of powerful antioxidants, as well as high amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. Modern science shows us that when combined, black cumin and black raspberry seed oils actually enhance each other, and the result is a terrific synergy that powerfully counteracts both inflammation and free radicals.

Modern innovation has also unlocked the solution to harnessing these oils in their most powerful state. The traditional processing methods employ either high heat or harsh chemicals to separate the seed oils from the flours, but these methods either damage valuable nutrients or contaminate the final products. Fortunately, the development of a chemical-free NatureFRESH Cold-Press™ technology has solved the problem. It gently presses and separates the seeds into oils and flours at low temperatures in an oxygen-free environment. The results are natural ingredients exhibiting unprecedented nutrient concentrations that preserve all of nature's potency, purity and freshness.

What do you get when you combine the nutritional synergy of concentrated black cumin and black raspberry seed oils with the NatureFRESH Cold-Press technology? You get a superstar health product called Immuno-Viva® Core, providing comprehensive heart, immune and inflammatory support. This synergy is truly unsurpassed as a two-pronged solution for the two most pressing health needs—comprehensive anti-inflammatory support, and antioxidant protection for the entire body.
