Longevity Nutriceutical Medicine making waves

LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas company claims it has developed a compound which holds promise for millions of people who are facing a debilitating disease — but most people will never hear of it.
The compound is made from natural ingredients so it can’t be patented. The company claims the pharmaceutical industry has used its influence with doctors to kill a possible cure for blindness.
Remember the big splash made a few years ago about the benefits of drinking red wine? Researchers found that a natural ingredient in red grapes — resveratrol — is the reason the French have a much lower risk of heart attacks and strokes. And then they found evidence that resveratrol could possibly ward off cancer. Suddenly the studies stopped and the potential fizzled. Resveratrol became just another supplement sold at health food stores.
There is now a growing body of evidence that this can also cure blindness in older Americans. So where are the clinical studies to move this forward?
“I took it every day for five days. In just five days, I could see. I don’t know what happened. What I do know is, I could see.”
