Autoimmune diseases develop when the immune system becomes confused,
mistakenly identifies its own tissues and cells as invaders and starts
attacking them. It happens when the immune system has been weakened due
to stress, poor diet or exposure to environmental toxins. Since the 1980s
more and more research has confirmed that many of the most common diseases
we experience nowadays are associated with deficiencies of antioxidant
nutrients and are relieved by their supplementation.
The following information details some
autoimmune diseases and voluntary testimonials by people using PROCYDIN
to cope with these diseases.

Osteoarthritis is the consequence of the gradual wearing out of
the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones, causing damage.
The joints eventually become inflamed, swell and become painful,
and usually affects older people. It may also develop as a result
of an injury or overuse of joints and generally affects only a
few joints – usually the major weight-bearing joints of
the hips, knees and spine. Obesity increases the chances of developing
this type of arthritis since extra weight causes unnecessary strain
on joints, particularly the knee-joints. Although there is no
cure for arthritis, there are ways of limiting the damage to your
joints and improving your quality of life. Extensive research,
notably over the past decade, has revealed that antioxidants such
as the proanthocyanidin complex, PROCYDIN’s main ingredient,
greatly benefit people suffering from arthritis for the following
reasons:
• They have powerful anti-inflammatory properties and also
protect against free radical damage.
• They have strong immune-strengthening properties and enable
the body more effectively to fight the inflammation caused by
arthritis.
• They stimulate collagen renewal - collagen occurs in cartilage
– improving flexibility of the joints

Yuppie flu or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) |
|
Yuppie flu, or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, can affect people
of all genders, ages, races and backgrounds and is often difficult
to diagnose. The medical profession only recently began acknowledging
the disorder and scientists have not yet been able to establish
its causes but know that it destroys the body’s immune system.
Stress, which effectively leads to the immune system becoming
overloaded, aggravates the condition. Stress triggers various
reactions such as increased heart rate and blood pressure and
a rise in blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that a stress-ridden
immune system operates on a weakened level, making the body more
vulnerable to cold viruses and other diseases. More recently,
the illness has been blamed on a low-level viral infection and
on the body’s own immune response to that virus. This could
explain why virologists have so far have not found evidence of
a common virus when looking at a population of CFS patients.

MS is an autoimmune disease that strikes the central nervous system,
which consists of the brain and spinal cord which control the
movements and functions of the entire body. The immune system
attacks the myelin, the soft, fatty material that forms a protective
sheath for the nerves, allowing them to transmit messages smoothly
and rapidly to and from the brain. If the sheath is damaged in
one or more spots it can seriously disrupt the flow of messages.
PROCYDIN helps to alleviate the condition as
follows:
• Proanthocyanidins, its main ingredient, are one of the
few antioxidants that can cross the blood-brain barrier to protect
brain cells directly against free radical attacks, strengthening
it.
• They have anti-inflammatory properties and can help to
reduce inflammation.
• They can protect neurons by keeping blood vessels supple
and open, stimulating blood circulation, including micro-circulation
in the brain, assisting the body to deliver essential nutrients
such as zinc, selenium, magnesium, calcium and copper to the brain.
• Studies indicate that they may also stimulate brain cells
by regulating enzymes that help control the chemical messengers.
• They help to boost the immune system. Researchers now
understand that there is a two-way chemical dialogue between the
brain and the immune system and each can directly influence the
other. If the immune system is not functioning properly, it may
negatively affect brain functioning.

Coxsackie virus infection |
|
Coxsackie
refers to a collection of closely related viruses that usually
cause gastrointestinal infection
Coxsackie A viruses are particularly prevalent in infants and
young children and are least serious. The symptoms are similar
to flu (muscle aches or pains and/or headaches, and fever), but
with intestinal symptoms, and usually disappear within a few days.
Coxsackie B viruses are far more serious and of greater concern.
They can cause serious diseases beyond the intestinal tract, such
as viral myocarditis, an inflammatory disease of the heart, and
cerebral meningitis. In most cases, however, the disease resolves
spontaneously without any treatment. But in some cases there can
be progressive diseases or recurrence of symptoms.
