Every year 40,000 Americans
undergo peptic ulcer surgery, and 15,000 die from ulcer-related
complications. It does not have to be this way!
Peptic ulcers affect
about 5 million Americans each year, and more than 40,000
people annually have ulcer-related surgery. More often than
not, ulcers occur as a result of an inflammation of the stomach
lining called gastritis (when it is the duodenum that gets
inflamed, the condition is called duodenitis). Each year,
approximately 15,000 people in the US die of ulcer-related
complications, the worst of which are an internal bleeding
and a phenomenon called perforation. A perforation occurs
when an ulcer eats a hole in the wall of the stomach or duodenum,
releasing bacteria and partially digested food through the
opening into the sterile abdominal cavity and causing peritonitis
- an inflammation of the abdominal cavity and wall.
In analyzing the many factors thought
to contribute to the formation of peptic ulcers and gastritis,
many researchers have stumbled across a rather striking "coincidence".
It turned out that all known risk factors for erosive/ulcerative
gastric and duodenal disorders – such as smoking, excess alcohol
consumption, physical and emotional stress, and unhealthy
eating habits – deplete the natural antioxidant defenses of
our body and cause a free radical
overload. Even the much discussed Helicobacter pylori
bacteria, once thought to be the main cause of peptic ulcers
but now considered by many scientists to be merely a contributing
factor to their formation, exacerbates the free radical overload
by producing an enzyme called urease, the action of which
eventually leads to the release of more free radicals, causing
damage to the epithelium. As a result, the gentle, fragile
mucosal lining of the stomach and duodenum becomes one of
the first tissues to suffer from the damaging chain reactions
induced by free radicals. Many scientists who have come across
this striking fact in the course of their ulcer and gastritis
research think that this is exactly the area where the real
answers and solutions to the ulcers/gastritis problem are
to be found.
Extra virgin pine nut oil: a time-tested
natural remedy with a proven track record of healing peptic
ulcers and gastritis without antibiotics or antacids
Extra virgin pine nut oil is an outstanding
concentrate of powerful free radical
scavengers fully capable of preventing or reversing
even the strongest oxidative stress leading to gastritis and
peptic ulcers. The effectiveness of extra virgin pine nut
oil in peptic ulcer and gastritis treatment was specifically
established in several clinical studies conducted in Russia
and China. In those countries, as well as in Eastern Europe,
extra virgin Siberian pine nut oil has now officially been
approved as an effective peptic ulcer and gastritis remedy.
As more reseach into the unique properties of this healing
oil is being conducted worldwide, one rock-solid fact is confirmed
again and again: extra virgin pine nut oil is an effective,
time-tested and proven natural ulcer and gastritis remedy.
You made me a believer! (A testimonial
from a very satisfied customer)
I had severe digestion problems since I was
a child. In my twenties, I have developed chronic gastritis,
and was later diagnosed with a large stomach ulcer.
My doctor performed testing for H. pylori,
but I tested negative. For years, I stayed on Zantac and other
acid suppressors. The pain was somewhat relieved, but I have
suffered from severe, unstoppable diarrhea, and the ulcer
still didn't go away.
Then someone told me about your pine nut oil.
I started taking three teaspoonfuls daily, but after two weeks
I did not feel any improvement. However, I decided to persevere,
since I had no other options left. I also increased the dosage
to five teaspoonfuls daily, taking two additional teaspoons
of the oil at bedtime.
Boy, am I thankful that I did! Slowly but surely,
things started to change. I kept taking the oil, and after
two and a half months I asked my doctor to see if the ulcer
was still there...
You should have seen the expression on his face
when he saw that the ulcer was completely healed. There were
no signs of gastritis, either!
You made me a believer. Thank you so much.

Obesity crisis in America: "fat-free"
approach did not work. What works is the "right fats" approach!
An obesity epidemic of truly frightening proportions
has taken over the United States. According to the U.S. Government
data, an estimated 129.6 million of Americans, or 64 percent,
are overweight or obese. A new study released by the Department
of Health and Human resources (HHS) Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention shows that deaths due to poor diet and physical
inactivity rose by 33 percent over the past decade and may
soon overtake tobacco as the leading preventable cause of
death in America. Despite several decades of intense efforts
to lower the incidence of obesity and promote weight loss
through lowering the amounts of fat and cholesterol in our
diets, obesity in America is still on the rise. Every now
and then, a new "miracle" product or diet promises to solve
the obesity crisis, but eventually all of them fail.
The underlying reason for this failure is a
lack of understanding of the vital physiological processes
behind eating, metabolism and weight management. We cannot
win the battle against obesity and disrupted metabolism by
ignoring the basic principles which form the foundation of
how food is perceived and utilized by our bodies. Therefore,
any product designed to "force" or "coerce" our bodies into
losing weight (and a vast majority of them try to do just
that) is doomed to fail.
The only way to boost metabolism and achieve
ideal weight is to optimize the ability of our bodies to assimilate
the nutrients that we need, unlocking its inherent potential
to achieve healing and maintain itself in perfect working
order.
Adelle Davis, one of the pioneers of the movement towards
healthier eating, once said: "As I see it, every day you do
one of two things: build health or produce disease in yourself."
Thus, when we try to "outwit" our own body
by denying it the nutrients it needs (which is the case with
macronutrient-restricting low-fat and low-carb diets) or poisoning
it with artificial chemicals with harmful side effects (over-the-counter
appetite
suppressants come to mind), we are doing nothing more
than "producing disease" in ourselves. On the contrary, when
we help our bodies to unlock their true self-healing and health-building
potential, they naturally shed the unneeded and unsightly
pounds and come back to their perfect balance of vibrant health.
What's very important to understand is that this potential
cannot be activated by staying away from all fats. On the
contrary, health-promoting fats (as opposed to harmful synthetic
fats found in processed foods) are the very keys needed to
unlock this self-healing potential of our bodies and put it
to maximum use. |

Energizing,
nutrient-dense oils: Nature's secret recipe for fitness, health
and healing
Our bodies are designed to be lean and beautiful,
not heavy and slow. If allowed to work without impediment
in an ideal environment, they will naturally seek to regain
this healthy balance. However, in our society, dominated as
it is by fast food, sedentary lifestyles, and "comfort eating",
bringing back this harmonious balance and achieving the ideal
weight and optimum digestion is often very difficult. We need
all the help we can get in order to optimize our food intake,
boost our metabolism and digestion, and provide our perfectly
designed bodies with all the essential nutrients they need
to function to their fullest potential.
When we try to describe a perfectly functioning
system, we often refer to it as a "well-oiled machine". This
metaphor gives us the key to understanding one of the most
important underlying principles of natural healing and healthy
metabolism. To be able to achieve healing and
reach its ideal weight, our body must be WELL-OILED. By that,
we mean that it must be supplied with the right fats. Not
only are these "good fats" essential for healthy
metabolism, but they are also vital for maintaining wellness
as well as for curing and preventing chronic disease such
as peptic ulcers and gastritis.
Long gone are the days when we believed that
all fats are bad for us. By now, we know perfectly well that
instead of trying to eliminate all fats from our diet or indiscriminately
reduce their consumption, we must instead concentrate on supplying
our bodies with the right fats which they need to function
properly. Yes, we must keep them well-oiled! Rather that denying
these perfectly designed "machines" the very "lubrication"
that they desperately need, we must supply them with the best-grade
"performance boosters" we may find.
Extra virgin pine nut oil is not just
an effective peptic ulcer and gastritis remedy, but also a
powerful metabolism enhancer and an excellent overall health
booster
In addition to being a uniquely potent antioxidant
supplement and gastric lining healer, extra virgin pine nut
oil also is an excellent natural metabolism booster and digestive
aid. When
ingested - either in its pure form or as part of delicious
foods - this tasty oil stimulates abundant duodenal release
of cholecystokinin (CCK) - a critical catalyst
for proper digestion of food in the intestinal tract. CCK
does this by triggering the release of digestive enzymes from
the pancreas. In addition, it causes contraction of the gall
bladder to deliver bile into the duodenum, and stimulates
secretion of bile salts into the biliary system. In fact,
its very name, cholecystokinin, means “to move the gallbladder”.
By ensuring the availability of bile salts and
enzymes to properly break down large macromolecules (proteins,
polysaccharides, and triglycerides) into small molecules (amino
acids, monosaccharides, and fatty acids) used by our bodies
as all-important “building blocks”, CCK further enhances the
overall performance of our metabolic and digestive systems.
This puts an end to nutrient deficiencies, which often are
the underlying reason for food cravings. As a result, our
body is able to assimilate more vital nutrients from the food
we ingest and needs less food to satisfy its basic nutrient
needs.
CCK is a substance naturally produced in the
duodenum in the presence of fats and proteins. Recent studies
have shown that some of us may not be able to produce sufficient
quantities of it, leading to digestive disorders, overeating
and weight gain. CCK also acts as a neurotransmitter which
sends a "full" signal to the brain and slows
the rate of stomach emptying, further enhancing the feeling
of satiety.
The fact that CCK optimizes digestion and metabolism
and promotes the feeling of satiety is very well researched
and proven by many scientific studies1,2,3,4,5,6.
When we use extra virgin pine nut oil, we produce more CCK,
digest our food better, assimilate more nutrients and feel
satisfied faster. Our metabolism is optimized, and our digestive
system starts performing to its fullest potential, making
our body the "well-oiled lean machine" it was originally designed
to be.

Three
teaspoons of delicious extra virgin pine nut oil daily is
all you need to heal your peptic ulcers or gastritis, boost
your metabolism and optimize your digestion and nutrient assimilation
For effective healing of gastritis, peptic
ulcers and other conditions related to an inflammation of
the gastroduodenal lining, it is recommended to take at least
5 ml (one teaspoon) of extra virgin pine nut oil three times
daily 30 to 60 minutes before a meal. For duodenal ulcers,
it may be advisable to increase the dosage to 10 ml or more.
Some people also find it useful to take an extra spoonful
of pine nut oil at bedtime.
Sometimes, you will see an improvement in a matter of days
or even hours after you begin taking pine nut oil. In other
situations, it may take longer. As with any other naturopathic
remedy, it is important to persevere and continue treatment
until you see results. After a stable improvement is achieved,
the oil may be discontinued, but it is still a good idea to
take a teaspoon at least once a day to avoid ulcer recurrence
and protect the gastroduodenal lining. It is also a great
idea to make pine nut oil a regular part of your diet by using
it in your everyday meal preparation.
If your goal is to optimize your metabolism,
improve digestion and control your food intake, the recommended
dosage of extra virgin pine nut oil is the same: 15 ml (three
teaspoons, or one tablespoon) daily.
The best way of taking the oil depends on your individual
preferences. For example, you may take one teaspoon of pine
nut oil with a full glass of water or fresh-squeezed juice
three times daily 30 minutes before breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. The oil may also be taken twice a day: half at breakfast,
and the other half at lunch or dinner.
Experimentation and practical experience will be your best
guides in working out a daily pine nut oil regimen that would
be most effective for you. And it is also nice to know that,
while working to enhance your metabolism, improve digestion
and achieve your ideal weight, you will also be boosting your
antioxidant status and protecting your stomach lining from
inflammation-related disorders.
Another great thing about extra virgin
pine nut oil is that, in addition to taking it straight by
the teaspoon, you can use it in a variety of delicious and
healthy recipes ranging from salad dressings and pastas to
smoothies, cakes and homemade nut butters. Extra virgin pine
nut oil is not just a great healer and metabolism enhancer,
but also a gourmet culinary oil that can be used in your kitchen
in a variety of creative ways. For example, you could use
in baking and light sauteing, or as an absolutely delightful
dipping oil. If desired, it can be mixed into olive oil or
used instead of it on your salad or in any of your favorite
dishes that call for vegetable oil. We have a special page
on our site devoted to our very own favorite pine
nut oil recipes.
Sea Buckthorn Oil: the Ultimate Gift
of Nature
Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae
Rhamnoides),
also known as Seaberry, Siberian pineapple, or Alpine Sandthorn
berry, is a deciduous tree or shrub naturally occurring over
very large territories in Europe and Asia. Most scientists
think that it originates from the Himalayan Mountains, where
its natural hardiness and vigor allow it to thrive on solid
rock formations around crystal-clear rivers fed from ancient
glaciers, at elevations as high as 14,000 feet.
Sea
Buckthorn is known in China, Russia and Europe as one of nature’s
most incredible medicinal plants. Its small, bright orange
berries have been cherished for centuries for their truly
incredible healing, nutritive, and therapeutic qualities.
The richly colored oil produced from Sea Buckthorn berries
is so abundant in vitamins, antioxidants, and other healing
compounds that many believe that Sea Buckthorn must have been
created by some ancient plant-breeder. Sea Buckthorn berries
have no match in the plant kingdom for their content of carotenoids
(pro-vitamin A), tocopherols (vitamin E), phylloquinone (vitamin
K), as well as other vitally important healing and health-promoting
vitamins, fatty acids, and micro-elements.
Various healing and health-promoting active ingredients are
contained in virtually every part of the Sea Buckthorn plant,
including its seeds, leaves, and bark. However, the most potent
concentrate of biologically active compounds is the rich therapeutic
oil contained in the bright orange Sea Buckthorn berries.
Medicinal uses of Sea Buckthorn berry oil are
well documented in Asia and Europe. Clinical tests on its
medicinal uses were first initiated in Russia during the 1950s.
Sea Buckthorn oil was formally listed in the Pharmacopoeia
in 1977, and clinically tested in Russia and China on numerous
occasions. The most important pharmacological functions attributed
to Sea Buckthorn oil are anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial,
analgesic, and regenerative. Based both on many centuries
of traditional use, and on modern scientific research and
clinical studies, Sea Buckthorn berry oil has been proven
to be an amazingly effective natural remedy for all health
problems related to damaged mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal
tract, including the following widespread conditions:
• Mouth ulcers (also called aphthae, or
canker sores)
• Sore throat and strep throat
• Esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) and Barrett’s
esophagus
• Acid reflux (GERD)
• Recurrent, hard to treat peptic ulcers
• Ulcerative colitis (inflammation and ulceration of colon
mucosa)
• Crohn’s disease
• Diverticulosis and diverticulitis
The unique therapeutic properties of Sea
Buckthorn oil are explained by its almost unbelievable abundance
in health-promoting bioactive components. The ripe berries
of Sea Buckthorn contain more than 190 varieties of bioactive
substances, of which 106 occur in the berry (fruit) oil. This
number includes six different fat-soluble vitamins and vitamin-like
substances, 22 fatty acids, 42 kinds of lipids and 36 kinds
of flavonoids and phenols. In addition to healing canker sores,
esophagitis, GERD, colitis, and other gastrointestinal inflammation-
and ulceration-related disorders, Sea Buckthorn oil is also
used to treat burns, skin lesions and other skin problems,
including rosacea and eczema, cervical erosions, atherosclerosis,
high blood pressure, etc.
Our richly colored, extra thick and ultra-fresh
Sea Buckthorn oil is produced from select, highest-grade Sea
Buckthorn berries grown in full conformity with USDA organic
requirements in a specially designed, eco-friendly Sea Buckthorn
orchard. Our Sea Buckthorn berries are picked at the peak
of their biological activity and cold-processed mechanically
using our proprietary technology without any chemical solvents,
refined carrier oils, or carbon dioxide: nothing added, nothing
taken away. The resulting oil is truly unmatched in its purity,
potency, and overall quality.
Gold of pleasure (wild flax) oil combines
heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids with potent antioxidants
Another precious gem that we bring to
you from the treasure chest of traditional healing oils is
called Gold of pleasure oil,
pressed from the seeds of an ancient plant known as Camelina
Sativa, or wild flax. Just like regular flax, it is exceptionally
rich (up to 45%) in heart-healthy omega-3
fatty acids. However, unlike common flax (Linum Usitatissimum)
oil, it contains a unique combination of powerful
antioxidants, making it very stable and resistant to oxidation.
Yes, it's just as great for you as flax oil - only better!
Healthy omega-3 fats
are believed to help alleviate or cure a wide array of modern
diseases, especially those related to excessive blood clotting
(thrombosis), high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and chronic
inflammation. Often, combining an abundant supply of omega-3
fats with natural antioxidants and balanced nutrition consisting
of traditional, whole, unprocessed foods that supply all of
the essential nutrients, fiber and friendly bacteria is considered
to be the best prescription for cardiovascular health. According
to Udo Erasmus, PhD, the author of a best-selling book "Fats
that Heal, Fats that Kill", "such a program could abolish
cardiovascular disease as the number one killer within a few
years."7
Gold of pleasure oil is unique in its
ability to supply our body with both omega-3 fatty acids and
potent antioxidants
In recent years, extensive research and
numerous clinical studies have confirmed that omega-3 fats
are involved in many vital physiological processes in our
bodies. It has been shown again and again that a deficit of
omega-3s may cause or aggravate many serious medical problems
and conditions, including thrombosis, atherosclerosis, hypertension
and other cardiovascular disorders. Gold of pleasure (wild
flax) oil is a uniquely rich source of alpha-linolenic acid
(ALA) – the “parent” fatty acid of the omega-3 family of health-promoting
essential fats.
As noted above, the seed oil of Gold of pleasure
contains an exceptional amount (up to 45 per cent) of omega-3
fatty acids, as well as a unique antioxidant complex giving
it an additional important advantage as an anti-inflammatory
supplement. Combined with a delicious nutty flavor, this extraordinary
blend of beneficial omega-3 EFAs and high oxidative stability
makes Gold of pleasure oil an excellent, versatile overall
source of both omega-3 fats and powerful antioxidants, including
tocopherols, carotenoids, and phosphatides. At 110mg/100g,
its vitamin E (tocopherol) content is among the highest of
all natural tocopherol sources.
As you probably know, there are other available sources of
omega-3 fatty acids (fish oils and flaxseed oil are the most
popular ones), but none of them combines omega-3s with potent
antioxidants such as vitamin E. On the contrary, using fish
oils or flaxseed oil as omega-3 supplements may aggravate
the overall free radical overload leading to artery damage.
Fish oils and flaxseed oil go rancid very easily, especially
when their natural antioxidants are removed by refining or
distillation.
Unlike fish oils and flax oil, Gold of pleasure oil is exceptionally
stable and resistant to oxidation. Not only does it not cause
the formation of artery-damaging free radicals, but it actually
protects the blood vessels from free radical damage by supplying
our body with powerful antioxidants such as vitamin E. Combined
with its abundance in omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),
these antioxidants make Gold of pleasure oil one of the most
powerful natural anti-inflammatory supplements available today.

Gold
of pleasure oil is the most balanced and health-promoting
natural source of omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation is, without doubt, an absolute
must not just for those concerned with their cardiovascular
health, but also for anybody who is seriously interested in
long-term health maintenance and disease prevention. For quite
a while, nutritionists and consumers alike were looking for
a dietary source of omega-3s that would not only be abundant
in these health-promoting fatty acids, but also stable and
resistant to oxidation and rancidity. Gold
of pleasure oil, containing an outstanding amount of omega-3
fatty acids complemented by a powerful antioxidant
complex, meets these criteria perfectly.
The fatty
acid composition of Gold of pleasure oil is also unique
and very beneficial in terms of its health-promoting qualities.
While being a rich source of ALA, the oil is highly monounsaturated,
naturally supplying more than 30 percent of stable monounsaturated
(oleic and gadoleic) fatty acids. This significant proportion
of monounsaturates (monounsaturated olive oil forms the basis
of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet) further enhances
the oxidative stability of Gold of pleasure oil, and makes
it a more versatile cooking oil.
Finally, Gold of pleasure oil is relatively
low in omega-6 linoleic acid, resulting in a favorable omega-3/omega-6
ratio of up to 3-to-1. This decreases the potential of the
oil to stimulate the formation of less desirable series 2
prostaglandins (PGE2) while maximizing
its ability to support the synthesis of health-promoting series
3 prostaglandins (PGE3).
The combination of these important advantages
makes Gold of pleasure oil the most balanced and desirable
source of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation. While supplying
almost as much omega-3s as flax oil, it is highly stable and
abundant in vitamin E and other natural antioxidants, as well
as beneficial monounsaturated fatty acids. As a result, it
does not promote the formation of harmful free radicals. On
the contrary, it helps resist their destructive effects by
providing powerful antioxidant protection. That's why we call
it "the better flax"!
The delicate, pleasant taste and aroma
of Gold of pleasure oil makes it an excellent salad and cooking
oil. On our easy recipes page,
you will find many creative ways of using Gold of pleasure
oil in your kitchen.
