Vista, CA (May 13, 2009) – Roman soldiers wrapped their battle wounds in red wine and considered wine to be their best medicine. Over two-thousand years later, 88-year old Madeline May is just now catching on to what the Romans apparently knew centuries ago.
Madeline has been bed-ridden due to joint problems for many years now. With the aid of a walker she can barely hobble to the bathroom and back. Because of the pain, it takes about 5 minutes for her to stand erect. A trip to the bathroom and back is exhausting.
That was the “old” Madeline May. Today Madeline launches herself out of bed, is back in the kitchen washing dishes and doing house cleaning, and wants to take a trip to Montana to visit relatives. Madeline uses her walker now only out of habit. What brought about the sudden change?

There are over 100 brands of resveratrol pills on the market, but only one is selling vigorously —ResV. And that is because of online fraud.
With the appearance of widespread interest in resveratrol in the aftermath of extolling report on CBS’ 60 Minutes, the Barbara Walters show and the Oprah show, budding entrepreneurs see an opportunity to add resveratrol to everything ranging from skin creams to bottled water. But the whole boom in resveratrol appears to be falsely created.
There was little public interest shown in resveratrol pills even after they were given glowing reports on CBS’ 60 Minutes, the Barbara Walters show and a go-ahead by Dr. Oz on the Oprah Winfrey TV show.

Something rather remarkable is happening in biological research. It involves study of reward centers in the brain and it spells promise for people who wish to overcome unhealthy habits such as tobacco use, alcohol over-consumption, dependency upon street drugs and even overeating.
A short course in how molecules affect the brain-reward centers is in order.
Brain cells have protein molecules on their surface (the plasma membrane) to which another molecule can be attached. This is called a cell receptor site. Molecules that attach to cell receptors are called ligands. Some of these ligands are hormones, nerve-transmitters (neurotransmitters), toxins, viruses, drugs, and molecules found in the diet.
