Cold-free for years
I see various claims of the benefits of Resveratrol, and while I can't confirm that it cures all those ailments or keeps you from aging, I have a personal experience with it that has convinced me to keep taking it forever. I have always suffered from miseral colds and flu symptoms. From the time I was a young boy, every year I would catch a cold that ravaged my body, going from throat to nose to fevers and aches to chest congestion - absolutely a miserabe experience that usually went on for two weeks. And these colds occured at least three or four times a year. A big portion of my life was spent suffering miserable symptoms and I was not very friendly when sick, preferring to be alone in bed waiting it out. I especially hated the feeling of sinus congestion when my eyes watered and my face felt invaded and I could not engage with anyone in a civil conversation. My wife hated it, too. Six years ago my urologist decided he thought I might have prostate cancer due to elevated PSA and enlarged prostate. On a financial blog I follow, at around the same time I read a post about the writer's encounter with prostate cancer and how he took a protocol of supplements centered on resveratrol. He claimed that after a few weeks of that protocol and nothing else, his prostate cancer disappeared. So I decided to give it a try myself. I initially took all the supplements he recommended, but eventually I let the others go and continued with just the resveratrol. Since then I have taken the recommended daily dose without fail. The side benefit that I had not expected is that I stopped getting colds! After over 50 years of suffering through colds every two or three months, I cannot remember a single cold in the past six years. I won't say that I haven't had a cold, but the symptoms are so mild that it is hard to notice. Even when members of my family catch cold, I look at them in wonder as I might feel the start of a sniffle, or the warning sign of a little ache, but it doesn't develop into the full blown misery of my past. I don't know for certain that all this is due to resveratrol. I am still careful in public, washing my hands after touching door knobs and handrails in the flu season, getting a flu shot every fall, etc. but I was doing all that all along. Maybe my immune system suddenly decided to grow a pair after all these years. Maybe it is all a psychological reaction and it was my mind that was undermining me all those years, causing me to get sick. But the fact is that taking resveratrol is the only thing I can point to as the real difference between the 50 years of miserable colds and the 6 years of being cold-free. When I was in the throes of a full-blown cold, I would have paid $1,000 for an instant cure to get me out of it. I wondered why science couldn't come up with a cure. But now I am content knowing that I just have to take this inexpensive supplement and it works for me. Whether it works for others, I don't know. I don't see why these results havent come out in scientific studies. But don't try to get me to give up my resveratrol program, because I won't.
