Pine bark question answered

[Jorgy]

The pine bark I had mentioned is combined with grapeseed in a powdered formula called OPC-3. Actually all the stuff I am using is in a powdered form. My dh has been using this for a while and was so impressed that he has now started marketing the products. I went to Miami to a conference on these products. I was VERY skeptical about the products and the company. I was impressed at the convention by the info I was given. It matched a lot of medical info I had been taught but was looking at health from a totally different perspective that I have never really studied. To make it short... what they said made sense and was medically sound. Therefore I agreed to not only put Jake on it but myself as well as I have issures with chronic depression. Now the whole family is taking this except for princess who doesn't do well with new things. She will probably start at a later date. All of us are taking the OPC-3, calcium, multi vits, vit B12, digestive enzymes and I also take a suppliment for my site that contains Lutin. We will be starting Omega-3 also. I have noticed that my teeth are becoming whiter and my gums no longer bleed. the changes in Jake are the most dramatic. This is only after 1 1/2 weeks! With the Omega-3 I am only expecting things to get way better and If I can get him and myself off meds eventually, GREAT! If you would like to see exactly what these products are you can go to Doran's web site at www.doranj.unfranchise.com BTY the Omega-3 is in pill form and is one of the few things that are. Also I would like to say is that I am NOT selling these products just sharing them as I am very skeptical of anyone coming here to sell things. What I do know is that this combo seems to be working for Jake which totally blows me away as it is different from everything I have been taught in the medical system. The medical system just comes from another perspective and that is OK too. I am continuing to moniter Jake and am saving his school work for comparison as this is the best way to convince the medical system. Hope this all answers your questions on what we are using. Sue

Thanks very much for this Sue!! ... This is really informative and very helpful ... When you say you use the powdered version of these things does this mean you mix it with food rather than taking it as a pill? This is particularly interesting to me as I am very reluctant to add any more "pills" to my son's day .... but something powdered that could be added to his food ... this sounds very good ... ?

P.S. and ANOTHER question (Sorry about all these questions!) ... you said you had noticed your teeth were getting whiter! What do you think is doing this? The Calcium? Or ... ??

Anne, You add a certain amt of water to the powder and drink it. I doesn't taste bad eithor, like pop. Yes, I think it is the calcium whitening my teeth ;D. I am absolutely amazed by all this (as if you couldn't tell!) Hope this helps, Sue
