Science Uncovers A Way To Prevent Hangovers, Fatigue and Exhaustion.

A Patented Extract of Prickly Pear Fruit Bears Amazing Preventative Fruit. Tex-OE(tm) Elevates Heat Shock Proteins and Prevents Inflammation That Causes Hanover Symptoms, Plus Fatique and Exhaustion Caused By Various Types of Stress.

In this new age when gene scientists are spelling out the 3.5 billion “letters” of the human genome, there is another biochemical breakthrough that is destined to achieve great notoriety. The discovery, that is just beginning to be revealed in the United States, may be deemed insignificant in comparison to gene mapping. However, ironically, it may have more readily understandable significance and interest to common people throughout the world.

Today, millions of people may find more immediate usefulness in a scientific discovery that has the unique ability to prevent some of life’s age-old maladies: the dreaded hangover and fatigue and exhaustion.

Science moves forward— counting chromosomes and counteracting cocktails, fighting fatigue and exhaustion.

It goes without saying that the genome project is tremendously important to us all. After all, the biochemical recipe encoded in our human DNA may provide insight into serious disease mechanisms, and even lead to individually tailored medicine. However, ever since Bacchus, the god of drink, made it socially acceptable to raise a goblet or two, it is well understood that the hangover has plagued humankind unceasingly. On the other side of the human activity spectrum, challenging athletic competition and healthful physical exercise can cause a hangover of a different type: Performance robbing fatigue and exhaustion. In fact, it may be argued that today these two distinctly different types of "hangover" may be the most omnipresent and frequently recurring afflictions in the world.

So why has it taken so long for science to uncover a way to hinder the onset of hangovers and fatigue and exhaustion in a similar way that the common “heartburn” has come under control-- with preventative little pills?

Surely if the science of genomics can seek to map the entire human genetic code, and pharmacology can deliver formulas that can completely hamper a heartburn, why hasn’t science introduced a way to prevent the common occasional hangover and common fatigue and exhaustion? The answer may lie in the fact that until now, dealing with the unpleasant effects of chemically or physically stressing our body have most often focused on an “after the fact” remedy.

Most people who drink do not expect to experience a hangover when they drink alcoholic beverages socially. But one good drink often leads to another. And, it does not take vast quantities of alcohol to result in an unexpected hangover the morning following intemperate indulgence. In addition, most people who enjoy engaging in athletic competition or physical workouts, also d0 not expect to to suffer as a result.

So millions of otherwise positive thinking adults find themselves dealing with the problems after they occur. And aspirin and analgesics and other “over-the-counter remedies” deliver little more than hope and hype to hangover and fatigue and exhaustion's victim.

Time and the body’s ability to heal itself are generally the most effective healers. In addition, knowing that moderation is the best way to ward-off the miseries that accompany "over-indulgence" of both types, scientists have not dedicated a great deal of energy toward preventative medicine directed at the ill effects of hangovers or fatigue and exhaustion. And, with the exception of those amazing little pills that prevent heartburn, most pharmaceutical companies are more often focused on treating the symptoms, than preventing them.

Now there’s a better solution! Science has uncovered an effective way to actually prevent both hangovers and fatigue and exhaustion. Finally, science has uncovered a preventative “pill” that prevents the effects of these and other types stress on the body.

It is ironic that the solution to preventing hangover symptoms and fatigue and exhaustion has been hiding from us, in a remarkable form of plant life, that has existed even before humankind first experienced these problems.

It is true, an extract that can actually prevent a hangover symptoms as well as fatigue and exhaustion has been discovered!

Counter to what one might expect the active hangover prevention ingredient was not extracted from a rare plant species. It was not, as Hollywood would present it, “unearthed by a modern day medicine man who scoured verdant tropical rain forests in search of new medicinal breakthroughs.” In stark contrast, the revolutionary botanical discovery was extracted, by a cell biologist/pharmacologist team, from a plant that thrives in the scorching temperatures of the world’s deserts. The plant, a member of the Cactus family, is known as Opuntia ficus indica.

The cell biologist and his associates, who developed the extract, were fascinated with Opuntia and its edible fruit known as the Prickly Pear. They were intrigued because the cactus plant grows in some of the hottest, most arid environs on earth. It requires little water, and is hardy in sub-freezing temperatures as low as 15 F, at altitudes as high as 7,500 feet. The scientists were convinced that by studying the make-up of a plant form that possesses the ability to survive normally devastating environmental conditions, and has the ability to protect itself from insults to its structural integrity, they could find something very significant to benefit humans, as well. So theylaunched a full-scale study of the plant.

In their extensive scientific examination of the cactus, the team uncovered an incredible finding. The unique environmental defense mechanism of the cactus centered on its ability to regulate and rapidly induce the synthesis of protective Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs). Discovered within the past 25 years, and common to all living things, HSPs protect organisms against many types of stress.

In the human body, HSPs play a natural protection and recovery role against stresses and the pain and fatigue they can bring. HSPs are the vital proteins that help protect cells and enable them to recover from physical stresses of all types. Unfortunately it normally takes 2-3 hours for HSPs to elevate in the human body.

Knowing this, the team believed that the key to preventing pain and fatigue caused by physical stress was to find a way to increase the body’s natural HSP levels faster, with no physical side effects. They felt that it was not beyond the realm of reason that an extract of a plant, that possessed an amazing level of survivability, could possibly enhance the ability of the human body to accelerate its HSP synthesis. In this manner, such an extract could protect human beings against many types of physical aggressions.

To prove this hypothesis, the team of researchers developed a patented extract formula, with a special bioactivity, derived from the skin of the Opuntia ficus indica fruit by a patented process.

Numerous clinical tests have confirmed that the theory was correct! The extract formula developed has been proven to protect the human body against various types of aggressions by greatly enhancing the ability of the body to accelerate its synthesis of HSPs and prevent inflammation

Preventing hangovers was a by-product of more noble endeavors. As the record shows, the research team did not set out to create a way to prevent hangovers. They were intent on validating the fact that the extract formula they developed would rain protective and restorative benefits to counteract aggressions cause by strenuous physical activity on those who ingested it. The doctor and his team believed that the extract would help people and, in particular, athletes: enhance their athletic endurance; promote the rapid recovery of stressed muscle and tissue cells; improve resistance to physical stress; and because of all this, provide anti-aging benefits, as well. To prove his theory the doctor needed proving grounds.

Because many of the members of the research team are avid scuba divers, the focus of the initial clinical tests was directed at aggressions caused by oxidative stess encountered under the sea.

Experienced divers know that it is not uncommon to feel extremely fatigued after a day's diving. This is because, by its very nature, diving subjects the body to physiological stresses that can result in disruption of the body’s cellular protein molecules.

In tests among divers, where half of the test group were administered the patented prickly pear extract and half were administered a placebo, the results were startling. In clinical test after test, as determined by blood draws before, during and after diving, the HSP levels of divers who had ingested the extract rose dramatically faster and remained longer than divers who were administered a placebo. The tests showed that the divers who had taken the extract: did not experience their normal fatigue after diving. They also reported a reduced tendency to sunburn. And, amazingly, although not recorded as part of the test criteria, the divers did not experience hangovers after heavy partying!

The revelation that the extract can prevent hangovers came by serendipity. It came unsolicited from a group of scuba diving enthusiasts who felt energized enough, after what were normally fatiguing dives, to celebrate extensively at local drinking establishments. The morning after indulging heavily, when the divers did not pay the normal penalty for their carefree partying, the news of the product’s ability to prevent head-splitting hangovers spread rapidly.

Amused that the hypothesis of his theory about the protective and restorative qualities of the extract was being frequently validated by the unscientifically documented trials of partying divers, the research team continued with documented clinical trials.

The patented extract of the fruit of the Prickly Pear, now trademarked under the name Tex-OE™, has been proven to possess the power to protect people from the ravages of physical stress of many types. Like the role it plays in the cactus itself, the extract can help protect us from disruptions to cells and help us recover faster from many type of stress, including alcohol toxicity. For in the case of alcohol over-consumption, as in other types of physical stress, the extract works in response to the toxic stress by accelerating the synthesis of the important Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs). In doing this, the extract hinders the harmful effects of over-consumption that can feel so devastating the next morning.

After learning of the patented Prickly Pear extract's ability to not only prevent fatigue and exhaustion, but hangover symptoms as well, a Southern California company, Perfect Equation, Inc., is manufacturing and marketing the extract known as Tex-OE(tm)in two products aimed at distinctly different markets. Prepair(tm), Anti-Fatigue and Exhaustion Formula, is aimed at physical fitness enthusiasts and anyone simply interested in prevention fatigue and exhaustion.

HPF Hangover Prevention Formula(tm),which has now been proven in a major university clinical trials and peer-reviewed and published in one of the nation's most prestigious medical journals, is being marketed to anyone who wants to "prevent" the morning-after ravages of a hangover-- instead of trying to cure an existing one.
