Guest guest Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Actually, Jane, it was Pycnogenol that I started with in 9/1995 thru LifePlus and their panel of MD's and research people. One major thing they told us was it " MAY " prevent cancer..... Back then it was $40 per month.  Swansons carries a Pycnogenol for inexpensive cost.  Now later many research hospitals are using G.S.E> in their cancer research...SO definitely something there.   The first things to go were sinus and allergies...stayed on Pycnogenol for 1 yr and then found Grape Seed Ex to be just as effective if not more, and so now almost 16 yrs on G.S.E.   It's pretty powerful stuff.  I have NOT bought an antihistime in almost 17 yrs....and also prior I went to allergist for quite a while and never getting relief.....making him richer. joyce  ________________________________ To: DimethylSulfoxide-DMSO Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2012 6:45 PM Subject: Re: Re: new cancer threapy  Do you get the same reaction from French Maritime Pine? I first took pycnogenol in 1995 and this was via French Maritime Pine, later they added the grapeseed to the product - they also now have a slow release product - Neways produce it - I buy from them and give to family & friends @ cost if they want some - not promoting it tho - just saying ( & I'm in Oz too - but wondering if the slow release is easier on the gut) either way they are very expensive and you may fnd other companies also selling a slow release product. It's the only supplement I ever had a strong reaction to (I usually take a heap of stuff & never notice immediate strong physical reactions.)
