PSA BELOW 1. 5 IN A MONTH
This is the true story of my own father.
Written by John Houser.
When my Dad found that he had prostate cancer he chose to go the medical route . After several months of treatments that almost killed him, The Dr. told my Dad that he was now cancer free and could return to a normal life .
Three months later the cancer came back with a vengeance . He was informed that he could not go through chemo again, that the treatments would kill him .
I had been following his progress closely - from the beginning I had been suggesting natural remedies - Ellagic Acid . But my dad, like so many had consigned his health over to the medical establisment .
When he was informed that they could no longer help him depression set in . His prostrate was so large he could not hardly urinate , and was in intense pain .
I asked my Dad if he would try a bottle of Ellagic Acid . He said he would so I mailed Ellagic Acid to him . In Just one week Dad's prostate shrunk down enough that he could urinate without pain , and in about a month his PSA was in normal ranges . We have several testimonies on file of people with all different types of cancer , who used Ellagic Acid , and received great benefits .

THE "SCIENCE" OF ELLAGIC ACID CONSUMPTION IN CANCER PREVENTION
One of the pioneers in cancer prevention is Dr. Daniel Nixon (see The Cancer Recovery Eating Plan, Times Books, NY, 1994). Dr. Nixon's lab at the Hollings Cancer Center in the Medical University of South Carolina has examined the ability of ellagic acid to prevent colon and cervical cancers from developing. Preliminary evidence generated by his team of researchers has indicated that ellagic acid can slow the proliferation of both human colon and cervical cancer cells grown in experimental systems outside the body. These findings have led to the hypothesis that ellagic acid may be useful in humans susceptible to either of these two cancers. While not yet complete, clinical studies are in progress at the Medical University of South Carolina and studies in women susceptible to cervical cancer are just beginning. The colon trial will measure ellagic acid's ability to prevent the formation of colon polyps (which may be the precursor to colon cancer) and/or slow the growth of rapidly proliferating colon cells in human papilloma virus, which is responsible for this disease. These clinical evaluations will be conducted at the Medical University of SC and the University of Madrid Medical School in Madrid, Spain.
Some of the data published by Dr. Nixon and his team at the Medical University of South Carolina is presented here.
Following exposure to ellagic acid from red raspberries, human cervical cancer cells, infected with human papilloma virus (HPV), die within several days due to a process termed apoptosis. Ellagic acid causes the growth cycle arrest of cancer cells, thus, inhibiting cell division (mitosis) and cellular proliferation. Ellagic acid from red raspberries prevents destruction of a cellular regulatory gene, by HPV oncogenes (genes responsible for cancer induction) in cervical cells (is regarded as the safeguard of normal cellular division and inactivated, abnormal cell division/proliferation ensues). Similar protective effects were observed in breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon, and prostate cancer cells exposed to ellagic acid. Consumption of 150 grams of red raspberries (the equivalent of 40 milligrams of ellagic acid) resulted in the appearance of circulating levels of ellagic acid in the serum one hour after ingestion. Four of HTN's Ellagic Acid 1-gram tablets equal approximately 40 milligrams or more of pure ellagic acid. In summary, the data from Dr. Nixon's lab and other investigators indicates that ellagic acid 1) activates detoxifying enzymes in the liver resulting in the clearing of cancer-causing chemicals (mutagens) in the serum, 2) prevents the binding of carcinogens to cellular DNA, 3) serves as an antioxidant in the scavenging and clearance of highly destructive oxygen free radicals, 4) induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancerous cells, and 5) stimulates the immune system for the destruction of cancerous cells. Each of these attributes were found to be important in reducing the incidence of cancer in experimental models.
Finally, while the mechanism(s) are not yet known, research performed in Europe indicate that ellagic acid may also be useful in reducing the incidence of birth defects, promoting wound healing, and limiting chemically induced liver fibrosis. In addition, some investigators now believe that ellagic acid may be useful in the prevention of heart disease.
Could Ellagic Acid possibly be the answer 1 out of 2 people should be looking for? The effectiveness of ellagic acid is expected to be medically verified over the next several years with clinical and double blind studies for most types of cancer.
In the year 1880, one in thirty people developed cancer in their lifetime.
Today, that figure is 1 in 2 - shocking statistics!
Cancer is surpassed only by heart disease as the number one killer in the United States. Modern medical intervention seems to be stuck as "cures" and "survival data" peak at approximately a 50% treatment success rate. Clinicians and researchers both agree however, that it is easier to prevent cancer than to cure it.
We are awash in a toxic wasteland. The air we breathe, the foods we eat, the water we drink, and even the water we cook and bathe in continuously expose us to the harmful effects of air pollution, pesticides, toxic run off, and the increased light due to the thinning of the ozone layer. Did you know:
Lawn Care: Ordinary house owners use 10 times as much pesticide per acre as farmers do. Most of it quickly runs into surface and ground water, poisoning our streams, lakes and wells. Automobiles: Cars put out less pollution today than ever before. But there are more cars than ever, all countries do not even have the strict emission standards as in the USA, and the millions of pounds of lead from years back are still in the dirt alongside the roads. Outgassing of volatile materials harmful to human health from asphalt, paint, insulation, new rugs, and furniture. All of the above pollutants and many more not mentioned create free-radical damage that leads to hereditary genetic defects, cancer, and acceleration of the aging process. But all is not lost!! There is a valuable natural nutrient tool to use in the protection of your self and your family. It is called HTN's Ellagic Acid and it is contained in the fruit of red raspberries.
But before we can explain to you how these nutrients are able to prevent cancer we must first know what cancer is. What follows is a discussion of the mechanisms of a disease process and how nutritional factors can protect us.
ELLAGIC ACID. By Dr. Kurt Grange, Ph.D. Nutritional Biophysiologist
Cancer is the most feared of all diseases.
People immediately associate cancer with dying. Unlike other killer diseases, cancer usually causes a slow death involving pain, suffering, mental anguish, and a feeling of hopelessness. In addition, the mental and physical stress it puts on loved ones and caretakers is beyond calculation.
What is cancer?
You have 76 trillion cells in your body that must constantly undergo reproduction if the body is to remain alive and functioning correctly. Some of these cells reproduce every few days while others reproduce after a much longer period. As each old cell reaches the end of its life cycle, it reproduces and is replaced by a fresh young cell. This natural process is called apoptosis. The normal death rate of cells is controlled by a "biological clock" type of gene called the P53 gene.
We know that most cancers are initiated by the action of free radicals. Free radicals are unstable atoms or molecules with at least one unpaired electron. These unpaired electrons want and need a partner. Consequently, the unstable free radicals, which have the ability to attract electrons from other atoms or molecules, go about swiping electrons from other stable atoms or molecules. This taking of a electron from another atom means that the free radical is now balanced and is no longer a free radical. But the atom or molecule from which the electron was taken is now damaged, and it becomes a free radical. This sets off a domino type chain reaction of damage within the body. Similar to little hand grenades exploding within the cell structure. In their reckless search for electrons, free radicals do a lot of structural damage to healthy cells. Cumulative free radical damage causes the plasma membrane of the cell to break down. When this happens, transportation of nutrients, oxygen, and water into the cell and removal of waste products and toxins out of the cell become compromised. This causes the cell to either starve to death, die in a sea of accumulated toxic waste, or, if the DNA of the cell is also affected, it can cause the cell to reproduce daughter cells incorrectly, thereby causing cell mutation.
The mutated cell is now genetically incorrect and, therefore, does not behave as a normal cell. The P53 gene of the cell is affected and the natural biological clock is stopped, often eliminating apoptosis (natural cell death). Without apoptosis the mutated cancer cell doesn't die. In order to sustain its growth a cancer cell steals nutrients from surrounding cells and begins to rapidly reproduce damaged, mutated cells in geometric progression (2, 4, 8, 16, etc.). Over a period of time the cancer cell develops into a cancerous mass or a tumor. Cancerous cells from the mass or tumor can be transported to other tissues or organs where they imbed and begin to grow and reproduce (metastasize).
In recent years the ability of the medical community to diagnose and treat cancer has greatly improved. Unfortunately, however, the vast majority of cancers still lack effective treatments. The choices for conventional treatment involve some form of surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. These procedures are invasive, treat only the symptoms, and often cause side effects more severe than the disease. Dr. Alan Levine of the University of California Medical School observes, "Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy." He also states that "Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for over a decade."
Conventional methods treat cancer as a localized disease to be treated in a localized manner by cutting out the tumor, irradiating it, or flooding the body with toxic ( and often carcinogenic) drugs in order to destroy the tumor. On the other hand, natural healing methods consider cancer to be a systemic disease. Emphasis is placed on rebuilding the body's natural immunity and strengthening its natural ability to destroy cancer cells. The key is to Alkalize, Cleanse, Nourish, and Balance the Body, allowing it to heal itself naturally.
Data on cancer (which has been corroborated by the National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National Cancer Institute, and the American Cancer Society) found that 80-90 percent of all cancers are produced as a result of life-style factors, (smoking, alcohol, lack of exercise), exposure to chemicals, environmental factors, and dietary nutritional practices.
We are surrounded by natural and technologically produced toxins. These environmental poisons are present in the air we breathe, the foods we eat and the water we drink. In today's industrial world, we cannot escape them. We are exposed to more toxins in 15 minutes than our great-grandparents were exposed to during their entire lives. The majority of these toxins are considered to be cancer-causing carcinogens, and , as unbelievable as it sounds, the most toxic environment to which we are exposed daily is the environment in our own homes.
Each of us had contributed the the demise of our own health. In our headlong rush to make our lives easier, safer, faster, more fun, and more convenient, we have changed our lifestyles. And, both accidentally and on purpose, we have also changed our environment. We have created the toxic environment necessary for a variety of old and new disease microbes and degenerative disease conditions, such as cancer, to proliferate and devastate our society.
Since lifestyles, environmental factors, and nutrition are the most common risk factors for developing cancer, it stands to reason that many of these cancers can be destroyed, substantially reduced, or their development eliminated by reducing or eliminating the risk factors. There are some risk factors like air and water which are difficult to control. However, you have almost total control over some of the other known risk factors such as smoking, alcohol, intake of chemicals and drugs, and diet and nutrition.
Diet and nutrition appear to be factors in 60 percent of women's cancers, 40 percent of men's cancers, and about 75 percent of cardiovascular diseases. Space doesn't allow for a discourse on diets and what foods to eat to reduce possible cancer development, except to say, reduce your intake of fat, red meat, smoked meats or those preserved by nitrates, and eliminate from your diet white sugars, white flour products, and especially all soft drinks. They are up to 500 times more acidic than your blood, causing a cascade of health problems.
Unfortunately, most doctors don't counsel cancer patients or those that are at high risk for cancer about nutrition. However, research shows that ingesting the correct foods and supplements may prevent cancer, boost the immune system and energy levels, and give the body a fighting chance to prevent cancer or heal itself. A healthy diet strengthens the immune system, slows tumor growth, protects against further metastasis and reduces the overwhelming negative side effects of radiation and chemotherapy.
Studies repeatedly show that there is a substantial reduction in cancer risk in those who eat or juice the necessary amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables. Only nine percent of Americans eat the recommended five daily servings. Research has found that it is the antioxidants in fruit and vegetables that confer additional protection against free radically induced cancer. Low blood levels of antioxidants are associated with an increase in death rated from many types of cancer.
One of the most promising areas in cancer prevention involving nutrition is in the area of chemoprevention. Chemoprevention is the concept that natural substances found in whole fresh foods could provide powerful weapons against cancer, and against other chronic ailments as well. Chemoprevention is NOT chemotherapy. Instead of toxic poisons, chemoprevention employs nutraceuticals to develop optimal health and to counteract cancer and other chronic and degenerative diseases.
A nutraceutical is a food substance or part of a food that provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention of, and / or treatment of disease. They are naturally occurring compounds found in plants, algae, microbials, and other biological sources which support specific bodily health functions. One of the most powerful nutraceutical chemopreventatives for cancer is an extract from red raspberries seeds and concentrated fruit, called Ellagic Acid.
Ellagic Acid is a nutraceutical. It contains a naturally occurring phenolic compound that has very strong anti-oxidant properties. It is also a potent anti-carcinogen. Ellagic Acid has the ability to inhibit mutations within a cell's DNA. It is also considered to be a cancer inhibitor which has the ability to cause apoptosis or normal cell death in cancer cells. In addition, research has found that it has antibacterial and anti-viral properties.
Dr. Daniel Nixon of the Hollings Cancer Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina, has been working with Ellagic Acid from the red raspberry seed in his cancer studies. Dr. Nixon found that ingesting 40mg of Ellagic Acid, which is the amount of Ellagic Acid contained in 1 cup of red raspberries (and 5 capsules of HTN's Ellagic Acid, Advanced Program), can cause cancer cells to undergo apoptosis (natural cell death). This is important because when cancer cells undergo apoptosis it effectively stops their geometric reproductive progression. The cancer cells die a normal death and are not reproduced. In other words, it reinstates the action of the P53 gene.
Dr. Nixon also has shown that human cervical cells which are infected with the human papilloma virus (which is considered to be the main cause of cervical cancer) are also killed. Other investigations and researchers, both in the United States and in Europe, found that daily consumption of Ellagic Acid from red raspberries had positive responses in:
- perlodontal disease
- protection of the liver from toxic injury
- faster wound healing
- radiation induced chromosomal damage
- slowing the spread of the HIV virus in the human body
- slowing the degenerative process of aging
- prevention of neural tube birth defects
- neurodegenerative diseases
- diabetic retinopathy
What Is Ellagic Acid? HTN's Ellagic Acid is a super antioxidant and a potent anticarcinogen which protects the cells against free radical damage. It is also a very powerful anti-viral and anti-bacterial agent. Ellagic Acid has the ability to inhibit mutations within a cell's DNA. It is also considered to be a cancer inhibitor which has the ability to cause apoptosis or normal death in many different types of cancer cells.
Adding HTN's Ellagic Acid and Alka-Line Xtreme X2O to the following cancer prevention guidelines is an excellent way to reduce the chance of developing cancer:
- Maintain a desirable body weight
- Eat a varied diet Include a variety of both vegetables and fruits in the daily diet
- Eat more high-fiber foods, such as whole grain cereals, legumes, vegetables, and fruits
- Cut down on total fat intake
- Limit consumption of alcoholic beverages, if you drink at all
- Limit consumption of salt-cured, smoked and nitrate-preserved foods
Dr. Kurt Grange, Ph.D. recognizes that alkalinity is the key to optimum health and that Alka-Line Xtreme X2O dramatically increases the beneficial effects of HTN's Ellagic Acid.
Keys to Regaining and/or Maintaining Your Health.
Arthur C. Guyton, M.D., Probably the most recognized author on human physiology states in his "Textbook of Medical Physiology" (used to educate medical students): "The first steps in maintaining health is to alkalize the body (pH or acid/alkaline balance). This is one of the most important aspects of homeostasis. Changes in pH alter virtually all body functions." DEFINITION: pH is how alkaline a substance is, 0 is Acid, 7 is Neutral and 14 is Alkaline. BLOOD pH: 7.4 is Normal Health and 7.2 is Death.
"The cells of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of a diseased body are below a pH of 7.0. The more acidic the cell, the sicker we become. If the body can not alkalize the cells they will become acidic and thus, disease sets it. Our bodies do not manufacture alkalinity, we must supply the alkalinity from an outside source to keep us from becoming acidic and dying." Quoted by: Arthur C. Guyton, M.D.
The Answer is: Alka-Line Xtreme X2O
Optimum alkalinity at the cellular level equates to optimum health It was also learned that when adding 1 gram of Xtreme X2O to drinking water (distilled is best) it raised the waters pH to an alkaline 11.5 - 11.73. The 1 gram of Xtreme X2O immediately increases the alkaline level by 100,000 times and a the same time adds 100 million free radical fighting electrons. Alka-Line Xtreme X2O in now believed to be the most powerful antioxidant ever discovered. Scientists have long known that the maintenance of body fluids (saliva) at an alkaline pH (7.1 to 7.5) is critical to cellular health.
Ionic form of calcium, the "King of Minerals," immediately bioavailable The calcium and minerals in Alka-Line Xtreme X2O (identical to our skeleton structure) become ionic in the water, allowing the calcium, magnesium and trace minerals from the ocean to be readily bioavailable to the cells. Additionally, Alka-Line Xtreme X2O products lower the surface tension of the distilled water, allowing it to penetrate and hydrate to cells easily, carrying in nutrients and removing the toxins and waste residue.
In summary: Healthy cells have a normal life cycle. This process is called apoptosis (normal cell death). The body replaces these dying cells with healthy ones; conversely, cancer cells do not die. They rapidly multiply by cell division (mitosis), making 2 cancer cells, then 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on. In lab and recent clinical studies, Ellagic Acid caused the cancer cells to go through a nontoxic, normal apoptosis process without damaging the healthy cells. Chemotherapy, radiation and most conventional treatments are known to cause the death of cancer cells, but they also cause the death of healthy cells indiscriminately. In most cases destroying the immune system during the treatment process.
SUGGESTED USE: As a dietary supplement take 5 capsules daily. Drink plenty of good water (distilled water treated with Alka-Line, Xtreme X2O is recommended).

As an Herb Specialist I have seen more people get good results with HTN products , recently had a client who had cancer , used the HTN product Ellagic Acid for 6 months , she then had an MRI , and the Doctors told her they could find no cancer in her body .
Her name is Mary Copeland at age 74 she glad to be cancer free . She was in Chemo for two long years , and decided to give Herbs and natural health a chance . It Worked ! Please try the natural approach first , change your diet , cut out all carbonated beverages , sodas and colas , do not drink white milk ,avoid white flour, avoid all artificial sweetners and white sugar .
In March of 2001 I found a lump on my right breast. After going to the doctors and having a biopsy, in which the lump was removed and tested, it was found to be infiltrating ductal cancer. The lump was 2.8 cm in diameter, with a grade III rating for lymphatic and vascular invasion. It was recommended that I go thru at least 6 weeks of radiation and then chemo. The oncologists told me in front of my 3 and 9-year-old children that I would die within two years without these treatments. After lots of prayer and knowing what these treatments do to the body, and that they, in fact, can cause cancer, I decided to go another route. My husband Michael gave me tremendous support, researching the internet and every resource he could find for alternative cancer treatments. I took many herbs, vitamins, and immune support products that were excellent along with drastically changing my diet. Then I found HTN, and after researching their products, I decided to use the Health Pak Program along with the Ellagic Acid. I used this program for 3 months, then graduated down to a smaller package. I still continue to use their products for what I see will be a long healthy life. I have not had a sick day since I found the lump. On January 2nd, I received results from a blood that were normal! NO CANCER PRESENT! PRAISE GOD! I will continue to use HTN products to alkalize, cleanse, nourish, and balance my body.
