Well, lab mice are not humans, and they are fed in a controlled manner whereas humans can pony over to the kitchen and engorge themselves in snack foods, but resveratrol-fed animals exhibited far less arterial plaque (-52%) than animals given a statin drug (-40%).  Furthermore, resveratrol equaled the reduction of circulating cholesterol as a statin drug (-19%). Since statin drugs do not prevent mortal heart attacks, but resveratrol pills do (at least in the animal lab), one wonders if it’s time to abandon Lipitor.  — Bill Sardi, Resveratrolnews.com

The National Institutes of Health defines dyslexia as a developmental reading disorder or disability that occurs when the brain does not properly recognize and process certain symbols.  Noted artist Elizabeth Berg has struggled with a more severe form of this disability for nearly six decades.  As far back as Elizabeth can remember she was dyslexic.

Her earliest recall was when others pointed her disability out to her.  Letters actually moved on the printed page.  Letters like “b” were seen as a “d.”  Her mother provided her with building blocks with raised letters on them to help her imprint the proper configuration of letters into her mind.

This disability didn’t hinder Lisa, as she is fondly called.  She became a child prodigy and entered art college at a major university while still a young teenager.

Hartford, CT (Jan 20, 2013)- Noted red wine molecule heart researcher Dipak Das PhD has filed a $35 million defamation claim against the University of Connecticut (U CONN) Health Center for wrongful termination, violation of the university’s by-laws, and lack of due process as protected by the 14^th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Dr. Das made worldwide headlines in January of 2012 when U CONN authorities issued a press release and posted a website alleging 145 claims of scientific fraud that were backed by 60,000 pages of evidence.  However, that website was quickly taken offline after many of its allegations were publicly rebutted.  Soon thereafter, it came to light that the university’s review board had never read the entire report and has instead relied upon a 23-page summary in its decision to dismiss Dr. Das from his position as director of the Cardiovascular Research Center at the UCONN Health Center.

Dr. Das conducted landmark animal studies that demonstrated the red wine molecule resveratrol (rez-vair-ah-troll) can limit damage to the animal heart during a heart attack and turn a mortal heart attack into a non-mortal event.

Professor Ole Vang
Resveratrol 2012

The release of your (mis)information from the RESVERATROL 2012 conclave is almost laughable. I’m laughing in my tears. Sadly, so many suffer from inability of the “resveratrol community” to come to any conclusions. How many more wasted decades before the professors can come to any agreement?

While your press statements said “there is not yet scientific evidence to recommend a general intake of resveratrol for prevention of lifestyle diseases,” and “trials in humans are necessary … to be absolutely sure of positive effects in humans,” your plea for more studies is falling on deaf ears.

Report: RESVERATROL 2012 2^nd International Conference of Resveratrol and Health (December 8, Leicester, England)

“Committee:  a group of men who individually can do nothing, but as a group decide that nothing can be done.”

A collaborative group of scientific investigators, resveratrol raw-material manufacturers and branders of commercially available resveratrol-based products met in Leicester, England to chart the future direction for this miraculous natural molecule.  The group covered a broad range of disorders that resveratrol addresses, which includes aging and cancer as well as important other issues such as optimal dosing and models for testing.  Their full report can be read online here.

While the group concluded there is not unequivocal scientific data to support resveratrol for disease prevention in humans (OK for lab mice however) or human life extension (the only way to conclusively show resveratrol extends human life is to conduct a 99-year study), it did say there are encouraging preliminary results.

In a free market, with an un-manipulated news media and a medical establishment open to less problematic and more economical cures, the announcement today by Dr. Stuart Richer OD, PhD, Director of Ocular Preventive Medicine at the Eye Clinic, James A Lovell Federal Health Care Center – North Chicago, would have been splashed on the front page of newspapers throughout the world.

The public would have stood in fascination at the prospect of damaged tissues in their brain, heart or eyes simultaneously repaired without invasive techniques.  The idea of not having to wait decades to apply this discovery would have caused telephone lines across the world to become overloaded.  But that is not the world we live in today.
