Dr. Oz show on Cancer-Fighting anti-oxidants: Do you know your score?

carriesuepepper • May 19, 2011

Do you know how high your antioxidant level is?  Do you know what antioxidants are?  Do you know why they are important?  Do you know that a high anti-oxidant score can  prevent cancer?   The answers to these questions could save your life! 

We all need to have high levels of antioxidants in our body.  Problem is, most of us just don’t eat 8-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily and that’s where we get these powerful free radical fighters!  Fruits and veggies that are bright in color – bright red raspberries and bright blue blueberries, dark green beans and spinach, ruby red tomatoes.  I heard an immunologist say just recently, you want your plate to look like an artist’s palette, full of bright colors.  Does your plate look like an artist’s palette?  Neither did mine.  The problem is, even if we eat our fruits and veggies, we simply cannot get enough and we need other micro nutrients, too.  We need a program that nourishes and protects our cells, tissues and organs to help us guard against the ravages of aging.  But, how do we get this and how do we know what is the right thing to take?

We need comprehensive and highly absorbable Anti-aging nutrients.   When we go down to our local drug store or our GNC or our health food store, we’re pretty much taking a shot in the dark.  There is no way we can tell which product is better than the next, or if they are going to do the job at all.  Most of us haven’t a clue as to what our antioxidant level is – heck, a lot of us don’t even know what antioxidants do!  I had a vague idea, but I had no idea that these are the barriers around my cells; they keep disease OUT!

So, if you want to learn how to obtain your antioxidant score – in a very simple, non-invasive way (just 90 seconds with a laser light scan) with a piece of technology that is light years ahead of the competition, you can do it.   You will have the choice to do something about it.  Worst case scenario: you will see your score and ignore it; best case, you’ll take action to get your score as high as possible and make your body a fortress against disease!  The choice is yours.

Contact me and I’ll point you to a location where you can have this done.  It’s painless and it’ll give you a baseline from which to start.  Just this week, Dr. Oz talked about the vital importance of antioxidants and the diet you maintain.  What is your score — are you a yellow, orange, red, green or blue?  Watch this and learn how America scored:

Time to Fly

By Carrie Pepper • 04 Feb, 2024
Today, while out on a walk in a very high wind, I spotted a little bird way up in the tip top of a bare oak tree; she was holding on every so tightly as the wind tossed and shook the branches. Hold on, little one, I thought. And just then, this quote came to mind. “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not in the branch, but in her own wings.” ― Charlie Wardle As I watched her, I imagined my own wings and wondered just how hard the wind is going to need to blow in my life for me to loosen them, pinned tightly to my sides, unfurl them—then TRUST as the currents lift me off my (branch) and I soar effortless and without fear.

Street Signs Can Be Memory Joggers

By Carrie Pepper • 30 Nov, 2023
Out on my morning walk, street signs acted as memory joggers. Perhaps they were nudges so that I could remember, and be grateful for, these two women who were there for me as a kid. BRADFORD was the first sign. Grammy Bradford. I never called her anything else and I have no idea what her first name was, but I do remember she was there to tend to me when I was little while my mother went off to work at her government job "in procurement," which she hated. I know nothing, really, of what she did there, but I do remember the room. It seemed there were hundreds of desks in this huge room, no partitions. Dark grey desks and heavy black telephones. I visited her there a few times and she'd give me tablets and pens to keep me busy. I was ALWAYS thrilled to have a tablet and a pen! What she did there is a mystery to me, but when she and my father would argue, which was often, she'd always say, "I want my own money," and so off she went to work every morning at the Defense General Supply Center. He told her she didn't need to work, that he could support her, but, again, she wanted her own money. Back to Mrs. Bradford, Grammy. She was a bit on the heavy side (which I thought made for the best, most cuddly hugs) with long grey hair that she wore up with tons of bobby pins. She always wore a floral bib apron with large pockets and she'd fill them with pears when we'd go to that special corner of our back yard. Oh the smell! Those yellow pears and the carpet of yellow leaves. Memories of Grammy Bradford brought back memories of Thelma Massenburg. She looked exactly like Aunt Jemima (OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES, we can't say Aunt Jemima anymore!) Recently a friend told me he'd made pancakes and I asked what kind of syrup he used. When he said, "Pearl Milling," I thought it sounded kinda cool, but when I looked it up I found out it was the new name for Aunt Jemima syrup. SERIOUSLY? Anyway, she was wonderful. She cleaned our house, scrubbed the floors and walls and worked harder than anyone I'd ever seen. I loved her. She always wore a bandana tied around her head. She lived in a tiny reddish tar papered house with ten children. Who knows where they all slept! She was diabetic and I was a little stinker and liked to tease her with Hershey Bars. I'd wave one in front of her nose and she'd smile and say," "You bad, chile." The last time I saw her she was in the hospital and her eyes were very, very yellow. Liver disease. The scarf that was always wrapped around her head was gone and I am sure that I could hear her say, "You bad, chile," although she probably didn't. Thank you my sweet Thelma. My Aunt Jemima.
