Answer: Larry,

Here is some data that should help you in making an informed decision.

Recent laboratory research conducted at Weber State University (Ogden, Utah) has shown oregano oil to have a remarkable kill rate of 99% against in vitro (outside of the human body) colonies of Streptococcus pneumoniae, even when used in 1% concentration. (The S. pneumoniae is responsible for many kinds of lung and throat infections.)

Oregano oil is mucolytic, helps to mobilize and thin mucous, useful in lung disorders; anti-tussive, halts cough and eases spasticity of the lung tubules; anti-spasmodic, obliterates tightness and spasms of muscles; its greatest attributes are its anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-microbial properties.

Q: Please tell me the benefits of pomegranate juice. I have heard that it prevents lung cancer is this true & if so is it substantiated? I currently use acai-max twice a day is there a benefit to adding pomegranate to this therapy? My father lost his battle with lung cancer 5 years ago. A non-smoker, he had none of the typical catalysts for the disease. Thank you for your time to answer this question, sincerely, Doris Chavez

A: Doris,

Here is a lot of easy to read data on the pomegranate – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate

As far as cancer goes: Research suggests that pomegranate juice may be effective against prostate cancer^[14][15] and osteoarthritis.^[16] In 2007, six clinical trials in the United States, Israel and Norway have been approved to examine the effects of pomegranate juice consumption on parameters of prostate cancer or prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes or lymphoma ^[17].

Both acai and pomegranate are high in unique/different polyphenols, so both together would be better than each one separately.
