What did the free radicals ever do to you?

free radicals are basically rogue particles that bounce around inside your cells, damaging your cells as they go.  This causes your cells to deteriorate over time, which in effect is the aging process.  Theoretically, eliminating some of them slows the damage rate, and the aging process as well.

I used to take it, and it gave me a lot of energy.  I was really hyper and not quite myself, almost to the point of it being annoying, that's why i stopped drinking it.

I am a huge fan of Turmeric as well and have never hear of any ill effect or seen any writings on it - unlike excessive carrot consumption which can cause you to turn orange-there is not even an anecdotal side effect I have ever come across.

Actually I have used those on male submissives when I was playing with men. And yes, temporarily that was the effect. I would imagine if you were using it for an extended period of time and you broke alot of blood vessels, then a discoloration would occur.

A spider damn near killed me. I was nineteen, and had gone from being super-fit, to contracting rheumatic fever that made me seriously ill, not too far from pegging out.  About two weeks after, still house-bound, I managed to stagger down the stairs to the bathroom, feeling very ill, with a slow, weak pulse and very low blood-pressure.  I wanted to use the toilet, but first wanted to splash my face and rinse my mouth.  I leant over the basin, and WAAAAH! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING! My heart rate jumped to about 200beats a minute, instantly, I staggered, felt a terrible chest pain, and fell over backwards, hitting my head on the wall. Nice.\n  Another time, in Australia, getting some tables out of a friends garage, my eyes were struggling in the gloom with what appeared to be eight-fingered Workman's gloves, slowly moving on the floor... HOLY CRAP THEY'RE ALIVE!!! I was out of there instantly.  They were Huntsman spiders, known for descending onto birds' nests in trees, and eating young chicks! Vile, leathery-bodied freaks that actually drag their centres around, they seem too big and heavy to actually walk on their legs.\nYuck!

Ha! You're probably right. The sad thing is there are cures that are found in nature. Turmeric (cumin) is a spice that is native to India, and it has amazing antioxidant properties. It can revert the damage caused by free radicals in the atmosphere, and stop cells from self-destructing or overreproducing.\n\nFenugreek, Seaweed, Eclipta Alba, and Shatavari are also good.

Hello -- I was affected my second hand smoke and I almost died as a result. I suffered two heart attacks and I take medication\nthe rest of my life; I just lost my best friend to cancer. She was only 66. She smoked all of her life.

No, I heard that cigarettes have vitamin C in them.

Free oxigen radicalls are byproducts of cellular respiration, that are harmfull and must rapidly be converted too water. H2O2 is one of them. \nActive tissues like the ones in your body produce a lot of this, and the liver, beeing the filter of the blood, has tons of peroxidase, the enzyme that does the conversion very quickly (the liver is in itself one of the most active tissues and produces a lot of oxygen rads...)\nPotatoes are storage tissues. These tisues have very low respiration rates and free radicals in them are not too harmfull for the overall well beeing of the plant, so there's no need for a high catalase/peroxidase activity. i don't even know if there is any of this enzymes in a potato. If yuo put H2O2 in a potato it will probably spontaneously decompose, a process less fast than enzyme mediated degradation of H2O2

Hydrogen peroxide is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) -- which means it will interact with lots of other biological compounds (proteins/lipids) and change their structure.  These changes in structure will change the function, making them non-functional, which is generally toxic.  This and other ROS are a natural by-product of aerobic metabolism and can be taken care of with certain enzymes, but these defenses can be overwhelmed -- by adding a hearty dose of peroxide to a cut.  :)

nothing very serious happened...continue your diet (tip: for 2 days drink more water).......but chemical diets must not take much long in order not to put in danger yourself

I remember a girl in the news who ended up inhaling a piece of the X'nas tree and ended up getting a horrid asthma attack.  For years she lived with it until she was operated on about 10 years later.  After extracting the snall twig the leaf parts still had chlorophyll in it.

A LOT OF THINGS! There could be cancers, exposure to radiation, brain damage, birth defects. There are alot of chemical factors that are hard to understand but there is no ACTUAL cause. INdustrial chemicals like Vynil chloride could cause it, but thats justlike the radiation exposure. Mutations, depletions of your "brain immune system" hahahhaa can deplete your tumor supressor genes.

ANTIOXIDANTS \n\nThese are used to prevent rancidity in fatty foods and to protect the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) against damage by oxidation. Synthetic antioxidants include esters of gallic acid, butylated hydroxytoluene, and butylated hydroxyanisole. Vitamins C and E are also commonly used as antioxidants; they obviously enhance the nutritional value of the food to which they are added; indeed, there is some evidence that synthetic antioxidants used in food manufacture also have useful antioxidant action in the body.\n\n\n\n\nFREE RADICALS, any molecule capable of independent existence that contains one or more unpaired electrons. An unpaired electron is one that occupies an atomic or molecular orbital by itself. A free radical can be regarded as a fragment of a molecule; free radicals are often extremely reactive, and therefore short-lived.\n\nOrganic free radicals were recognized by Gomberg in 1900 and this led to speculation that free radical species might play a role in biology. In 1966 Slater proposed that a free radical reaction was the cause of carbon tetrachloride's toxic effect on liver cells, and the theory that free radicals play a role in tissue damage was born.\n\nFree radicals are produced in most cells of the body as a byproduct of metabolism, although some cell types manufacture larger quantities for specific purposes (for example, by macrophages during phagocytosis. see Immune System). The most important free radicals found in aerobic cells, such as those in humans, are oxygen, superoxide, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, and the transition metals. When free radicals form within cells they can oxidize biomolecules (molecules used inside cells, especially lipids) and thus cause cell death and injury. However, the human body has developed various mechanisms in order to protect itself from the damaging effects of free radicals. There are enzymes which decompose peroxides and transition metals; other free radicals are sequestered by proteins and other molecules.\n\nFree radicals are difficult to study because they are only present for very short periods. They usually react with other molecules very quickly. In recent years, it has become accepted that they play an important part in several medical conditions. DNA (see Nucleic Acids) is particularly susceptible to oxidation by free radicals and it has been suggested that these substances may have a role to play in the mutations which precede the development of cancer. This may explain why some transition metals, such as nickel and chromium, are carcinogenic under certain circumstances. Free radicals have also been implicated in atherosclerosis, liver damage, lung disease, kidney damage, diabetes mellitus, and ageing. It is not always easy to tell if free radicals are the cause of a disorder or a result of some other causative agent.\n\n\n\nVirus (biology)\nI  INTRODUCTION \n\nVirus (biology) (Latin, “poison”), any of a number of organic entities consisting simply of genetic material surrounded by a protective coat. The term “virus” was first used in the 1890s to describe agents that caused diseases but were smaller than bacteria. By itself a virus is a lifeless form, but within living cells it can replicate many times and harm its host in the process. The hundreds of known viruses cause a wide range of diseases in humans, other animals, insects, bacteria, and plants (see Diseases of Animals).\n\nThe existence of viruses was established in 1892, when Russian scientist Dmitry I. Ivanovsky discovered microscopic particles later known as the tobacco mosaic virus. The name virus was applied to these infectious particles in 1898 by the Dutch botanist Martinus W. Beijerinck. A few years later, viruses were found growing in bacteria; these viruses were dubbed bacteriophages. Then, in 1935, the American biochemist Wendell Meredith Stanley crystallized tobacco mosaic virus and showed that it is composed only of the genetic material called ribonuc

If you are really interested in this topic, I recommend reading "The Plutonium Files," a recently published book. It reports on the negative health effects of uranium and plutonium, specifically the results of secret tests performed on civilian citizens and members of the military, by our government. (Almost all of whom were unaware they had unwittingly become guinea pigs.) Very interesting and informative.

Same thing happened to me. Allergic reaction. My skin also turned bright red and burned. I was  immediately taken off. My advise is to chat with your prescribing doctor. He/she may or may not want to do something. Don't waste time in doing so. Some medications have dangerous side effects or allergic reactions that cause real problems.\n\nGood luck
