Unleashing the Power of Zinc: A Pioneering Breakthrough in the Fight Against CancerStep into the world of Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, the visionary behind a game-changing approach to combat skin cancer. In a groundbreaking experiment in 1933, a young and determined Mohs injected various chemicals into rat tissues, unveiling the astonishing potential of topical zinc compositions as a potent anti-cancer agent.Fast forward to today, where Mohs' surgical technique aims to obliterate tumors while safeguarding precious healthy tissue. But amidst all the advancements, it seems that the remarkable role of zinc has been overlooked.Join us as we delve into the forgotten hero - zinc - and explore its pivotal role in the battle against cancer. Prepare to be amazed by the untapped potential of this humble element.Zinc is required in all body tissues and fluids. Zinc deficiency can lead to a number of different health problems. ...

Reduce Oxidative Stress and Free Radicals to Boost Immunity

March 4, 2022
Est. Reading: 3 minutes

What is Oxidative Stress?

In this article, we are going to discuss how can we reduce oxidative stress from our bodies, but first let's discuss what is oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress is a condition that results when reactive oxygen species (ROS) overwhelm the cells' ability to neutralize them. ROS are natural byproducts of metabolism, but under normal circumstances, they are quickly mopped up by the body's antioxidant defenses. When oxidative stress occurs, these molecules can accumulate and damage cellular structures, including DNA.

Oxidative stress has been linked to a wide range of diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. One of the easiest ways to reduce your oxidative stress and enhance your immunity is to fight free radicals.

What are Free Radicals?

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells by stealing electrons from other molecules. This electron theft can start a chain reaction, leading to the formation of more free radicals and causing extensive damage to cells and tissues.

The body produces free radicals as a normal part of metabolism, but they can also be introduced into the body through environmental exposures, like cigarette smoke, air pollution, and radiation.

What Causes Oxidative Stress?

Excessive levels of free radicals can lead to oxidative stress and all sorts of health problems. There are many processes and substances that chronically damage cells and contribute to oxidative stress, including:

free radicals in the body

  • Toxic chemical compounds and pollutants in your body
  • Hydrogenated fats
  • All kinds of pollution, including air, water, and food
  • Oils that have been heated to very high temperatures
  • Cigarette smoke, directly inhaled or secondhand
  • Dehydration
  • Too much sugar
  • Too much animal protein in your diet
  • Geophysical stress, like living near power lines or waste dumps
  • Microbial imbalance, including bacterial, fungal, and viral infections
  • Preservatives in your food
  • Drugs (over the counter and prescription)
  • Artificial food coloring and flavorings
  • Plastics and phthalates
  • Chemical cleaning supplies
  • Chlorinated water that you drink, shower in, or swim in
  • Alcohol
  • Pesticides in your food
  • Radiation exposure
  • Psychological and emotional stress

Ways to Reduce Oxidative Stress

While there is no single cure for oxidative stress, there are many things you can do. This can be done through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress-management techniques. One way to reduce inflammation is to consume more anti-inflammatory foods. Some good examples of anti-inflammatory foods include:

  • Omega-3 fatty acids from fish or supplements
  • Turmeric
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts
  • Berries
  • Green tea
  • Dark chocolate

In addition to a healthy diet, you can also reduce oxidative stress by getting regular exercise. Exercise helps increase the number of antioxidants in the body and strengthens the body's natural antioxidant defenses.

Stress management techniques, such as yoga and meditation, can also help reduce oxidative stress. These techniques help to lower cortisol levels, which are associated with increased levels of oxidative stress.

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)

One natural way to reduce oxidative stress is to increase your intake of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that helps break down free radicals. SOD is one of the technologies in the invention of the CC Formula, as described in several areas of the patent filings.

The invention uses a new technology aimed at an efficient manufacturing process and application of Cu/Zn SOD based on a ligand system. The composition counteracts the effects of superoxide overproduction by using a ligand system that has the ability to penetrate affected tissues and counteract superoxide overproduction.
