Advances in medical science over the past 10 years have led to the conclusion that Oxidative Stress [presence of free radicals] is one of the factors implicated in the etiology of disease. In fact, a 2007 study* concluded that many of today's Metabolic diseases [e.g. diabetes], Auto-immune disease [e.g. Rheumatoid arthritis] Viral infections [e.g. HIV, Hepatitis C, cancer] and neuro-degenerative diseases [Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's] "could be avoided in the future if we learned how to control free radicals".

Free radicals are believed to cause tissue damage at the cellular level - harming our DNA, mitochondria, and cell membrane. Oxidation gives rise to highly toxic molecules, such as peroxynitrite, that attack cells and their component parts, accelerating their degeneration.
Under normal conditions, free radicals are regulated by the body's natural antioxidant defense mechanisms, such as uric acid.
But even uric acid can get overwhelmed and Summit Health Sciences has found a unique [patented] way to raise the level of uric acid in the blood - without producing gout or its complications. SHS believes that raising blood uric acid levels should either reduce or alleviate, not only the symptoms, but also the processes that contribute to the pathogenesis of disease.
