Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the
United States. The 1999 Cancer Facts and Figures, published by the American
Cancer Society, estimates that almost 43,700 women and men will die of breast
cancer in the United States. In this study, we compared the response of human
breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and normal human mammary cells (MCF-10) to apoptosis
in the presence of pycnogenol. Pycnogenol is a mixture of flavonoid compounds
extracted from the bark of pine trees. MCF-7 and MCF-10 cells were plated out in
culture dishes and grown in medium containing 0, 40, or 80 micrograms
pycnogenol/ml culture medium. Cells were harvested at confluency, incubated with
DAPI for 15 min and viewed microscopically for evidence of apoptosis. Apoptosis
is detectable by morphology, chromatin condensation, nuclear DNA fragmentation,
DNA strand breakage or apoptotic bodies. DAPI is a DNA-binding fluorescent dye
used to visualize DNA fragmentation. Apoptosis, as detected by DAPI staining,
was significantly higher in MCF-7 cells treated with pycnogenol than the
untreated cells. The presence of pycnogenol did not significantly alter the
number of apoptotic cells in MCF-10 samples. These results suggest that
pycnogenol selectively induced death in human mammary cancer cells (MCF-7) and
not in normal human mammary MCF-10 cells.

This is a crazy world. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that
we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer,
told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me
to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture?
Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for each individual. Not only does
this end personal debt, it places the people first in line as creditors to the National Debt ahead
of the banks. They don't wish for you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really
