PYCNOGENOL - FRIEND OR FRAUD
By: George J. McClelland
Why is it praised by some and cursed by others?
Pycnogenols are OPCs and are antioxidants. They are found in plants throughout the world and are produced as part of the plant’s survival system. The greater the environmental stress, the more powerful the OPCs it produces. The most powerful OPCs are found in the Maritime Pine Tree of France. A French scientist read of a tragedy which happened in the St. Lawrence Seaway where some sailors whose ship was trapped in the ice were dying of a strange disease. Natives introduced them to a stinky tea made from the local pine trees. The sailors who drank the tea quickly regained health.
Since the Maritime Pine Tree in France was used for lumber, the bark was readily available. His experiments resulted in the introduction of OPCs as a great healing source. The name Pycnogenol was patented and it only refers to OPCs from the Maritime Pine Tree. None of the OPCs coming from other sources can legally be called Pycnogenol. The Horphag Company who owns the patent and trademark actively pursues people who illegally use the name “Pycnogenol” as more and more of those companies are discovering. All OPCs are antioxidants, but their quality varies greatly.
About 15 years ago, Dr. Lamar Rosquist recorded a tape concerning his use of Horphag Pycnogenol. The testimonials were mind boggling and covered a wide range of illnesses. Over a million copies were sold and at least a million more were illegally distributed. Many people who used his tape were selling inferior quality OPCs as pycnogenol and people who bought it did not get the results described by Dr. Rosquist. Disappointed, they yelled “Fraud.” Fraud was (and still is) involved, but it is the look alike products that are fraud.
To get the best results from Horphag Pycnogenol, you need a product with a delivery system and you need to use one milligram per one pound of body weight. Since the root cause of most illnesses is free radical damage, Horphag Pycnogenol used with the 1-1 formula helps overcome many health challenges. Miracles after miracles have been and are being recorded. Why have many people failed to get good results?
1.An inferior quality of OPCs was used. 2.They were not using Horphag Pycnogenol on a 1-1 basis. 3.The formulation did not include a delivery system 4.The product did not include as much Pycnogenol as claimed on the label. 5.Pycnogenol adheres to many ingredients used as tablet fillers and passes out of the body. 6.Pycnogenol adheres to collagen which is used to make capsules.
Horphag Pycnogenol remains a powerful disease fighter when packaged and used correctly. When buying Pycnogenol, make sure the Horphag name is on the package. Otherwise there is no telling which OPC is being used or how powerful it is. You will also want to check for a delivery system and the real quantity of Pycnogenol in each tablet. If you are using Pycnogenol and do not get the desired results, check the above list of 6 reasons for failure.
Horphag Pycnogenol is expensive. In America the raw Horphag Pycnogenol costs over $3,600 per kilo, which is a very small quantity. I checked pycnogenol on Google a few days ago and the products listed were so cheap it became clear the chances of those products being Horphag Pycnogenol are almost non existent. Get your calculator and do some figuring before you buy.
My health was restored nine years ago by Horphag Pycnogenol containing a delivery system. It was used at the of 1 milligram per1 one pound of weight. I use it every day. There are too many people needlessly suffering with “old age” diseases and I don’t plan to join them.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
