Resveratrol is present in greater concentrations from Japanese Knotweed, (aka Polygonum cuspidatum and now taxonomically named Raynoutria japonica) is a major source of resveratrol, and is identified as the ingredient listed on many resveratrol formulations. It's an invasive plant in North America, the young shoots can be eaten and beekeepers like the flowers. The root is the main source for reserveratrol extraction and is available from a number of herb supply companies.
The root is also a broad antiviral, antimicrobial, effective against tick Bourne diseases, Sars-cov-2 and HIV-1.
I buy it organically grown in bulk, a pound at a time for making antiviral tinctures as well as for it's resveratrol content. It's a good invasive from that perspective.
Also: The root possesses significant anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, allowing it to cross the blood-brain barrier to reduce brain inflammation, protect against oxidative stress, and potentially mitigate symptoms of neurodegenerative conditions. It also supports liver health, aids in digestive balance, and promotes skin regeneration and wound healing, particularly in burn cases. Additionally, it functions as an immunomodulator, enhancing immune cell activity and helping to regulate autoimmune responses
Thank you, Dr Marik. Apparently, with glaucoma, resveratrol has neuroprotective properties (at the optic nerve head), as well as possessing the ability to decrease inflammation at the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm’s canal and hence increase aqueous outflow.
What I find interesting is that it’s helpful for breast cancer. So many breast cancers are estrogen positive and I read so many articles that resveratol is not good for this type.
I can only speak from my personal experiences; in the later 90’s I was referred to A Dr.Bibb, (now deceased )by a family member who had been an ongoing patient of his in South Carolina. I met with Dr. Bibb in
Conway , South Carolina.
Prior to that ; while researching his background I learned that he had a connection to the Medical College in Charleston, in particular breast cancer research pertaining to the use of reservatrol as a treatment possibility . Also he personally was involved in the growing and production of Muscadine Grape wine and had produced other reservatrol products .
I had contracted Lyme Disease in 1993 while living in Maryland ; and was still symptomatic in 1995 . Dr. Bibb’s reservatrol pills
were greatly one of the major positive nutrients in going from chronic Lyme to remission in my situation that had become quite serious. I did try the Muscadine
Wine but only for a brief time; as it is an “acquired taste “and the pills worked fine.
The growing interest in compounds like resveratrol highlights how complex cancer biology is and why no single molecule tells the whole story. The most useful conversations often come back to understanding the strength of the evidence, where it applies, and how these findings fit alongside proven approaches.
I have been sharing your work with integrative oncology medicine departments in Israeli hospitals . I was pretty surprised by a response , I had thought that integrative medicine was more open minded
"Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I appreciate you taking the time to bring this matter to my attention.
I would like to note that the topic you’ve raised has been a subject of research and discussion within the medical field for many years. Despite that, the findings in this area remain inconclusive and lack definitive results. "
Alan. I am surprised, I thought that oncology in Israel embraced integrative oncology. All of the posts and suggests are based on peer reviewed scientific data. There is overwhelming scientific evidence on integrative techniques, while the results of traditional chemotherapy are awful. This is a long discussion. You can refer them to the Metrics study which demonstrated a doubling in survival in patient with Glioblastoma with the Care Oncology Protocol.
Pls explain why there are no clinical trials that have proven the benefit even after big pharma (GSK I think) spent a lot of money on the acquisition for the Harvard related startup and couldn’t see any biological benefits and thus shut it down…

As I said, a great invasive!
thanks
Thanks , I was about to say the same. Iherb sells this source of resveratrol , with a little grapeseed .

cool
I consume resvetatrol in the form of fermented grapes. In a bottle. 😁
Excellent...

what should my response be ?

I cant answer that question
I can answer that, it's simple and sad. It would have helped heal people. There's no money in healing people naturally.
The chart showing formulations is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much.
