Jing Luo, Negative Energy & Nutrients (3)

Though goji or wolfberry has oxygen radical absorbency capacity or ORAC scale of about 25,300 however in order to tap the potent effect of wolfberry, one has therefore to combine it with other appropriate antioxidants so as to produce the synergy effect. As stated early the efficacy of herbs is what it contains in the plant, that is, what types of minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals etc. This indirectly means that right types of herbs and with right combination can help to ease or remove the blockages of meridian in our body. The minerals must be plant based and not from inorganic source such as those derived from soil or petrochemicals. Minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals derived from plants are readily absorbed by our body and hence the word “bio-availability” is often used to describe the readiness of these nutrients being absorbed by our body. Inorganic source is therefore not bio-availbility. Dr. Brian R Clement who is the director of Hippocrates Health Institute wrote a book entitled “Supplements Exposed – The truth they don't want you to know about vitamins, minerals and their effects on your health” stated that there is a difference between the naturally occurred vitamins and those synthesized. Synthetic vitamins normally will not be readily absorbed by our body and at times can pose risk to our health. For instance naturally occurred vitamin C can be readily absorbed by our body whereas the synthetic one cannot be readily absorbed though both may be called as ascorbic acid. The difference is more obvious when polarized light passes through the naturally occurred vitamin C, the light will bend to the right. Thus health supplement will normally label such vitamin as “d” which means “dextro” or right to indicate that it is from natural source whereas when polarized light passes through synthetic vitamin C, the light will split into two; one to the left and the other to the right. Thus the supplement label will often be marked “dl” . “d” means “dextro” ie right and “l” which means “levo” ie to the left. Though structurally synthetic vitamin C and naturally occurred vitamin C may look similar but in fact it is not the case and their respective property is also different. Look therefore can be misleading !

经络、寒气及营养 (3)

虽然 枸杞籽 的氧气吸收能力（oxygen radical absorbency capacity 或称为ORAC) 的指数大约为25，300 但是要发挥它的功能，它必须跟其它恰当的抗氧化物剂配合，它才能产生协同作用 ，生生不息的效益。 草药的真正功效就是它富含各类的矿物质，维生素，植物化学等等。 这也是说恰当的矿物质，维生素，植物化学等等再配合恰当的组合能够帮助打通人体的经络。而所谓的矿物质是由植物中所得到的并不是由土地 或石油 或无机原料中所提炼出来的。 植物或草药中所含的矿物质，维生素，植物化学等等是 有机营养，它们能被身体所吸收或接纳， 这就是科学家所说的“ bio-availability” 。根据 Hippocrates Health Institute 的 董事，Dr. Brian R Clement, 的其著作“Supplements Exposed – The truth they don't want you to know about vitamins, minerals and their effects on your health” 中说从 无机原料或石油 中所提炼而得到原料来合成为维生素 或矿物质 跟从植物中所得到的矿物质，维生素，植物化学有所区别。人工合成的不但不能被身体所吸收或接纳反而有可能会危害到健康。比如 维生素 C, 天然的 维生素 C 能被身体吸收或接纳 但人工合成的 维生素 C 多数不能被身体吸收或接纳。从科学研究的试验中也发现到当极化光波透过天然的 维生素 C ，光波会折向右 。因此天然的维生素 C 保健品有时会注明 “d”。 它带表”dextro”。 它的意思是“右” 。该注明是告诉你 该 维生素 C 保健品 是天然的产品。 反之当极化光波透过人工合成的维生素 C 时，光波会分叉，一向左，一向右，保健品有时会注明 “dl”. “d” 代表 “dextro”（右） 而 “l” 代表 “levo” （左）。如此看来天然 的维生素 C 和人工合成的维生素 C 有区别之分， 虽然有时 形状（分子形状）可能相像。它们的的特性也有区别。形象可能有误导之时!
