To understand free radicals, the silent culprits behind several of our medical woes, let’s take a quick course in Physiology/Chemistry and Sociology.
A community comprises three main groups; residents, thugs, and policemen. Residents go about their daily business earning an honest living; thugs go about their daily business stealing residents’ property; policemen go about their daily business curbing crime
THE HUMAN BODY OPERATES LIKE A COMMUNITY.
Its residents are cells that comprise several molecules put together; molecules consist of atoms of basic elements joined together by chemical bonds. Atoms’ basic pillars are neutrons, protons (positively charged particles), electrons (negatively charged particles), and nucleus.
An atom’s main objective is to achieve stability/balance between its neutrons, electrons, and protons.
The thugs are Free Radicals – their objective is to cause instability by “stealing” electrons from normal cells. Free radicals are formed when stability/balance is upset, usually by environmental factors like radiation, pollution, and diet. Sometimes the body allows imbalances to facilitate normal metabolism or to fight off infections – the body’s immune system cells often create free radicals to neutralize viruses and bacteria. Things go haywire when free radicals cannot be contained – they attack the nearest molecule disrupting its neutron/proton/electron balance and destabilizing it, converting the normal cell to a free radical – in extreme cases, this spirals out of control.
Antioxidants (the policemen) restore balance and stability by donating their own electrons to neutralize free radicals, ending the downward spiral. Antioxidants are stable – donating electrons does not convert them into free radicals. Foods rich in Vitamin C are rich in antioxidants.
Specially prepared herbal supplements by Alpha Cures, such as Immune Detox Pro, are a combination of effective antioxidants in strong concentrations that reverse damage caused by free radicals that have run out of control.
