Pryor and Sophia had always been curious about the old castle at the edge of town. They had heard rumors of hidden treasures and secret passageways, and had always dreamed of exploring its mysterious halls.
One day, they decided to sneak into the castle to see what they could find. They slipped in through a crack in the wall and found themselves in a grand entrance hall. But as they looked around, they realized that the castle was not as abandoned as they had thought.

Pryor had always been curious about the strange creatures that lived in the nearby forest. He had spent many afternoons wandering through the trees, searching for signs of life. One day, as he was exploring a particularly dense section of the forest, he stumbled upon a clearing he had never seen before.
There, sitting in the middle of the clearing, was a young girl named Sophia. She was studying a small, green creature that Pryor had never seen before. Intrigued, he approached her.
What is the the solution to combating free radical damage? Supplementation is the only solution. Why? Because a 2017 CDC report revealed that less than 12% of Americans are eating a recommended amount of fruits and vegetables every day.
For most problems, nature provides a solution, and our health is no exception. The human body is miraculous, and when it is supplied with the nutrition it needs, it is able grow, maintain, and repair itself. Proper nutrition is directly linked to the body’s ability to increase energy levels, fight off and recover from illness, improve overall well-being, and reduce the risk of major health concerns. Proper nutrition can also reduce inflammation and free radicals. In fact, antioxidants and other nutrients in certain supplements are crucial for keeping them at bay.
Like a single free radical, a single raindrop seems to do little damage. Yet with the combination of trillions of raindrops over time, it can be devistating just as it is in environmental erosion.
The damage free radicals create throughout the body is random. Trillions of molecules are affected every second. While a single raindrop on the rock face of a mountain does no damage—and even a single rain shower does no perceptible damage—a million rainstorms begin to take a toll. Come back a million years later and you can see that over time, raindrops have begun to change the landscape. Several million years later, the mountain is totally eroded away and ceases to exist. So it is with free radicals. A single free radical does no perceptible damage, but trillions of free radicals—over time—cause the aging process and can result in various degenerative conditions. By reducing the amount of free radicals, we can greatly improve our health and slow down the aging process.

For centuries, scientists and physicians have been searching for ways to measure and predict health and illness. While Galileo developed a thermoscope in the 16th century, it wasn’t until 1868 that Carl Wunderlich invented the clinical thermometer, which allowed accu-rate temperatures to be read. The stethoscope began widespread use about the same time thanks to French doctor René Laennec. And in the early 1900s, accurate blood pres-sure measurement became easier and more widespread thanks to the efforts of Harvey Williams Cushing and Nikolai Korotkov.
