Oxis Advancing Oxidative Stress Technology with Potent Antioxidant Ergothioneine

One of the causes of cell damage is oxidative stress. Certain oxygen and nitogen molecules are highly reactive and can damage cells. They are called reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) molecules.

Normal cell processes handle ROS and RNS molecules, but over production of ROS and RNS exceed the body's natural defense mechanisms. Oxidative damage occurs and can cause cells to fail.

Oxidative stress is also caused by other factors such as pollution, smoke, inflammation, UV light, some drugs and other sources.

Oxidative stress also increases as we age.

One of the major antioxidant enzymes that protect cells is glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Oxis has an oral compound that mimics glutathione peroxidase.


http://www.oxis.com Oxis International is advancing oxidative stress technology, which provides anti aging through the reduction of free radical molecules in the body.

Oxis International, Inc. can be found in the penny stocks at OTCBB: OXIS.

Oxis is the premiere provider of the potent antioxidant Ergothioneine and only significant commercial source of pure l-ergothioneine worldwide due to their patented manufacturing process.

From the Oxis website.

"Oxis has several therapeutic compounds that are available to be licensed including anti-inflammatory and several therapeutic antioxidant mimics with potential applications in the treatment of neurodegenerative (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other conditions."

N-Viro converts wastewater sludge into biomineral agricultural products

http://www.nviro.com

Pollution is often just something in the wrong place at the wrong time. With the right kind of alchemy garbage can be turned into gold.

N-Viro International Corporation converts waste to energy.

Here is some technical mumbo jumbo describing how that process works from their website.

The N-Viro technologies involve the mixing of municipal bio solids with specific alkaline waste products from the coal combustion electric generation (making clean coal), cement and lime industries. This process stabilizes organic waste thru pasteurization and complete disinfection.

Our suite of green technologies complement each other and build upon a unique concept transforming waste products into a beneficial fertilizer or ultimately creating N-Viro Fuel a renewable alternative energy fuel perfectly synergistic with the coal combustion industry.

N-Viro develops and licenses its technology to municipalities and private companies. Their patented processes use lime and/or mineral-rich, combustion byproducts to treat, pasteurize, immobilize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products with real market value.

The company has generated sales in excess of $40 million dollars, since its initial public offering in October of 1993, which was underwritten by Robertson Stephens, Raymond James, Oppenheimer & Co., and Paine Webber.

They are active in Florida and have taken over the Volusia County facility in Daytona, which processes solids into soil from many places in Central Florida.

Nutrition healthy foods

From: Ruth Kovacs

Nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden has created several lists of healthful foods people should be eating but aren’t. But some of his favorites, like purslane, guava and goji berries, aren’t always available at regular grocery stores. I asked Dr. Bowden, author of “The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth,” to update his list with some favorite foods that are easy to find but don’t always find their way into our shopping carts. Here’s his advice.

1. Beets: Think of beets as red spinach, Dr. Bowden said, because they are a rich source of folate as well as natural red pigments that may be cancer fighters.
   How to eat: Fresh, raw and grated to make a salad. Heating decreases the antioxidant power.
2. Cabbage: Loaded with nutrients like sulforaphane, a chemical said to boost cancer-fighting enzymes.
   How to eat: Asian-style slaw or as a crunchy topping on burgers and sandwiches.
3. Swiss chard: A leafy green vegetable packed with carotenoids that protect aging eyes.
   How to eat it: Chop and saute in olive oil.
4. Cinnamon: May help control blood sugar and cholesterol.
   How to eat it: Sprinkle on coffee or oatmeal.
5. Pomegranate juice: Appears to lower blood pressure and loaded with antioxidants.
   How to eat: Just drink it.
6. Dried plums: Okay, so they are really prunes, but they are packed with antioxidants.
   How to eat: Wrapped in prosciutto and baked.
7. Pumpkin seeds: The most nutritious part of the pumpkin and packed with magnesium; high levels of the mineral are associated with lower risk for early death.
   How to eat: Roasted as a snack, or sprinkled on salad.
8. Sardines: Dr. Bowden calls them “health food in a can.” They are high in omega-3’s, contain virtually no mercury and are loaded with calcium. They also contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese as well as a full complement of B vitamins.
   How to eat: Choose sardines packed in olive or sardine oil. Eat plain, mixed with salad, on toast, or mashed with dijon mustard and onions as a spread.
9. Turmeric: The “superstar of spices,” it may have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
   How to eat: Mix with scrambled eggs or in any vegetable dish.
10. Frozen blueberries: Even though freezing can degrade some of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables, frozen blueberries are available year-round and don’t spoil; associated with better memory in animal studies.
    How to eat: Blended with yogurt or chocolate soy milk and sprinkled with crushed almonds.
11. Canned pumpkin: A low-calorie vegetable that is high in fiber and immune-stimulating vitamin A; fills you up on very few calories.
    How to eat: Mix with a little butter, cinnamon and nutmeg.
