Once again we have advent of the summer season in Western New York and Ontario and while some home winemakers limit their endeavors to the grape, others, including myself, anxiously await the arrival of the fresh fruit. Once dismissed out of hand by some as inferior and often quaintly referred to as “country” wines, fruit wines are enjoying a surge in popularity never seen before, embraced by amateur and professional vintners alike.
And why shouldn’t they? Our region has the good fortune to possess a burgeoning agribusiness in fruit other than grapes and, as many fruit farmers have discovered (as indicated by the surge in farm winery licenses), wine returns a much more appealing margin than fruit alone. For those who are still on the fence about the virtues of fruit wine, may I suggest that you take a day to tour some of the local wine trails and try them.
For me, a family outing to the local fruit farms, especially a “U-Pick,” was always gleefully anticipated as a summertime ritual. The delicious baked goods and the jellies and jams made from the fruit could be enjoyed into the cold winter months. That is, of course, if they lasted that long.
We still make and love all these things, but taking the extra time and expense to produce wine from the strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, and other fruits adds another dimension that will challenge and hone your skills. This is because, unlike grapes (especially those varieties which one may regularly vint year after year), fruits, berries, and other feedstock used to make these wines have less predictable characteristics in their pH, acid, and sugar. Therefore, careful testing and attention to making the proper adjustments is important to producing a good fruit wine.
There is an abundance of websites that have good basic fruit wine recipes, and even recipes to make wine from vegetables and herbs. Simply plug ‘fruit wine recipes’ into a search engine.
Now for another reason why home winemakers should have a second look at fruit wines. Today, people are more health-conscious than ever. Almost every day for the past decade, starting with “The French Paradox,” we’ve been bombarded with one clinical study after another that touts the health benefits of drinking red wine in moderation.
Well, surprise! The same health-promoting compounds found in Pinot Noir are found abundantly in fruits and berries. The polyphenol pigments that impart color to the fruit are known collectively as anthocyanins, a family of powerful antioxidants. The compound found in Pinot Noir called resveratrol is produced in greater amounts in this varietal as an antifungal because the skin of the grape is thin and susceptible to splitting. Resveratrol has been studied for its ability to block cell inflammation and oxidative stress related to arthritis and other degenerative diseases, as well as cancer treatment and prevention. *
Blackberries, mulberries, and especially blueberries are rich in powerful antioxidants like resveratrol. Blueberries also contain phytosterol and pterostilbene, which have recently been shown to be useful in lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol, preventing heart disease, and protecting the body against certain cancers.
None of these beneficial compounds are lost in the winemaking process, so why not raise a glass of fruit wine and drink to your health?

Perhaps the hardest part of having arthritis or a related condition is the pain that usually accompanies it. Managing and understanding that pain, and the impact it has on one’s life, is a big issue with most arthritis sufferers. The first step in managing arthritis pain is knowing which type of arthritis or condition you have, because that will help determine your treatment. Before learning different management techniques, however, it’s important to understand some concepts about pain.
No. 1: Not All Pain is Alike Just as there are different types of arthritis, there are also different types of pain. Even your own pain may vary from day to day.
No. 2: The Purpose of Pain Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong, or that you need to act. If you touch a hot stove, pain signals from your brain tell you to pull your hand away. This type of pain helps protect you. Chronic, long-lasting pain, like the kind that accompanies arthritis, is different. While it tells you that something is wrong, it often isn’t as easy to relieve.
No. 3: Causes of Pain Arthritis pain is caused by several factors, such as (1) Inflammation, the process that causes the redness and swelling in your joints; (2) Damage to joint tissues, which results from the disease process or from stress, injury or pressure on the joints; (3) Fatigue resulting from the disease process, which can make pain worse and more difficult to bear; and (4) Depression or stress, which results from limited movement or no longer doing activities you enjoy.
No. 4: Pain Factors Things such as stress, anxiety, depression or simply “overdoing it” can make pain worse. This often leads to a decrease in physical activity, causing further anxiety and depression, resulting in a downward spiral of ever-increasing pain.
No. 5: Different Reactions to Pain People react differently to pain. Mentally, you can get caught in a cycle of pain, stress and depression, often resulting from the inability to perform certain functions, which makes managing pain and arthritis seem more difficult. Physically, pain increases the sensitivity of your nervous system and the severity of your arthritis. Emotional and social factors include your fears and anxieties about pain, previous experiences with pain, energy level, attitude about your condition and the way people around you react to pain.
No. 6: Managing Your Pain Arthritis may limit some of the things you can do, but it doesn’t have to control your life. One way to reduce your pain is to build your life around wellness, not pain or sickness. This means taking positive action. Your mind plays an important role in how you feel pain and respond to illness.
Many people with arthritis have found that by learning and practicing pain management skills, they can reduce their pain. Thinking of pain as a signal to take positive action rather than an ordeal you have to endure can help you learn to manage your pain. You can counteract the downward spiral of pain by practicing relaxation techniques, regular massage, hot and cold packs, moderate exercise, and keeping a positive mental outlook. And humor always has a cathartic effect.
No. 7: Don’t focus on pain. The amount of time you spend thinking about pain has a lot to do with how much discomfort you feel. People who dwell on their pain usually say their pain is worse than those who don’t dwell on it. One way to take your mind off pain is to distract yourself from pain. Focus on something outside your body, perhaps a hobby or something of personal interest, to take your mind off your discomfort.
No. 8: Think positively. What we say to ourselves often determines what we do and how we look at life. A positive outlook will get you feeling better about yourself, and help to take your mind off your pain. Conversely, a negative outlook sends messages to yourself that often lead to increased pain, or at least the feeling that the pain is worse. So, “in with the good, and out with the bad.”
Reinforce your positive attitude by rewarding yourself each time you think about or do something positive. Take more time for yourself. Talk to your doctor about additional ways to manage pain.

Amazon Thunder is the first and only 100% pure organic A?ai pulp products available today. Why is it in a league of it’s own??? It is a revolutionary breakthrough formula unparalleled by any other form because it is the only pure and natural no sugar added A?ai pulp concentrate available today. Made with pure 100% pure Brazilian organic A?ai.??
Amazon Thunder is an antioxidant health supplement designed for the health conscious, the athletically inclined, average Joe’s, the gourmet chef and for those looking to implement a total health solution into a daily active lifestyle. Relief from inflammation and arthritis pain the natural way, energy like never before,? rapid weight loss, smooth clear skin and many more antioxidant health benefits are just a step away! Amazon Thunder A?ai is the only A?ai product you will ever need because it is so versatile and so pure!?
If your buying A?ai and it’s very cheap, so cheap in fact that it seems to good to be true, then it most likely is! Most companies out there are selling A?ai that are filled with multidextrin carriers, corn starch, rice powder, sugar, guarana, water and other fillers and are riding the coat tails of Dr Perricone and Oprah by creating a product that has just a pinch of A?ai in it and using these celebrities as endorsements! 100% of the A?a? Powders on the market today in capsule form are spray dried powders and the process of spray drying kills off all of the antioxidant properties ( anthocyanins).? There is no company making pure 100% freeze dried A?a? capsules today because the cost is to high!
Amazon Thunder has now introduced the only 100% pure freeze dried A?a? capsules on the market for the first time ever! Stop listening to the misinformation when capsule companies are telling you their capsules are pure 100% A?a? . This is not so, you are getting spray dried 4:1 A?a? caps no matter where you look, and their are some companies selling these worthless spray dry capsules or scoop power for as much as $29.99 and you are paying for approx 40% corn starch, multidextrin and rice powder with little or no A?a? in the caps at all and of what A?a? is in the capsule it has little antioxidant value left because the process of spray drying is used! Companies are selling these are all over the web and even include the larger players like Sambazon and Life Dynamics! Now you can buy the only 100% guaranteed pure A?a? capsules from Amazon Thunder, we deliver quality and are the only co in the world offering 100% pure A?a? capsules today.
Oprah and Dr Perricone talk only about the A?ai and not about a product mixed with A?ai and all kinds of other ingredients. We are clearly stating a point and that point is just pure A?ai and A?ai alone is what is being talked about by these health experts and Oprah. Take a look at this article on cancer and see how it points out that it all depends on the A?ai concentration levels in fighting cancer. The concentrate level of A?ai in Amazon Thunder is higher than any other version of A?ai available! One very large point to consider is this: A?ai is produced from only the skin of the A?ai berry. It is unlike any other fruit. The only value is in the skin, so if your considering any A?ai product you want as much of the skin intact as you can get! This is what is done with Amazon Thunder, we process our bottled juice pulp and A?a? capsules with the skin and nutrients intact in the most natural form possible and without using any heat! We don’t screen it out and give you the run off juice or dehydrated powder caps like our competitors do!
All you have to do is compare our A?a? juice product or pure capsules to the others and you will see guaranteed the quality cannot be compared to! Just open one of our capsules and taste the 100% pure natural taste of the freeze dried powder as if it was just picked from the tree, or try an ounce of our pure A?a? concentrate pulp juice to see! Did you know it takes 10 times the pulp of the A?a? berry to make 1kg of our pure freeze dried A?a? capsule powder? That’s right 10 times! We are also bulk A?ai ingredient suppliers and can tell you that if your paying little for your A?ai then your in fact getting little A?ai! Why? Because A?ai is an imported commodity and from processing to importation it is very expensive, so common sense tells you that if your buying it cheap then your getting little A?ai in your product! You get what you pay for, it’s as simple as that! If you come across an expensive A?ai juice, it doesn’t mean it is all that pure either, as there are plenty of companies selling overpriced diluted versions of A?ai. If your looking for a fruit punch A?ai blend, then Amazon Thunder is not for you. Pure concentrated A?ai is thick and you can actually taste the A?ai distinctly. There are many other factors to think about when making a decision to purchase A?ai so that you can be sure you are getting the real McCoy of A?ai.??We point out several of them below.?? Amazon Thunder is A?a? pulp concentrate is very thick and very concentrated; you only need 1-2 oz daily depending on health needs! This is not a blended fruit juice. It can be added to yogurt, pour it over pancakes, add it to your favorite juice, pour it over?granola and banana, take it straight up, use it as a salad dressing or create a smoothie by pouring it over ice in a blender, add your favorite fruits and blend! Add it to hot water to make a delicious tea or freeze it to make a delicious sorbet. Or add 1oz of our concentrated A?ai to seven ounces of water and you have a ready to drink with all the omegas and nutrients intact! We recommend though taking it straight up without diluting with water if you are going to drink it straight so that you don’t leave any of the valuable omegas on the side of your glass. Let your imagination take over, the creations and uses are endless! ?
Amazon Thunder A?ai pulp is exactly what Dr Perricone is talking about when he talks about the no sugar added pulp of A?ai being the best form of A?ai available! Click here to read his quote on Oprah’s site at the bottom of the first paragraph! Before we tell you?more about Amazon Thunder we would like to clear the air on the facts of A?ai and our pure A?a? pulp as compared to all other versions of A?a? available today. There are certain companies out there that are just plain misinforming the public about the nutritional facts of their A?a?. You can’t compare powdered orange juice with 100% fresh squeezed orange juice, pulp included! 4:1 Powder does not absorb nearly as fast and lacks the nutrients as compared to our fresh A?a? Pulp or freeze dried A?a? capsules. These other powders also carry multidextrin carriers which most companies don’t tell you about and if they say it has none they are feeding you a line! We also have the experience in this industry as we are also bulk ingredient suppliers. Each bottle of Amazon Thunder comes in a glass 32 ounce bottle if you buy in the juice or in capsule form it comes in 60 veggie capsules per container and is 100% pure unrefined A?a?! Stay away from companies that contain their version of A?a? juice in plastic bottles. The plastic will leech into the A?a?, it must be contained in glass. Plastic leeching can lead to serious health dilemmas and even cancer; there is a significant amount of scientific research that has been out for years that proves this theory.?
Some key points about Amazon Thunder. a.) Our lab tests prove that Amazon Thunder A?ai juice which is 100% pure sugar free A?ai pulp is the purest and most natural form of A?a? available today and which makes up every bottle of Amazon Thunder! Take it the way the natives have for hundreds of years but without the Guarana, which has ephedrine effects and is mixed with glucose. Guarana contains twice as much caffeine as coffee and causes heart palpitations, insomnia and anxiety! Amazon Thunder is safe for all and contains no guarana or added sugar, which is an inflammatory and is the #1 cause of premature aging, click here to read more on why sugar is so bad as stated by Dr Perricone! ?(Watch out for products that do a play on words and hide their added sugar content by using tricky word such as:? cane, cane juice, cane syrup, cane sugar, corn syrup, sucrose, glucose, dextrose, lactose, levulose, corn sweetener, karo syrup, maple sugar, sorbitol & polysorbate!? Plain and simple they are all sugar and do the same thing as sugar; they cause inflammation and disease!? The reason so many companies use sugar and sugared guarana is to act as a preservative! The effect of the inflammation the sugar causes far exceeds that of even the worst chemical preservatives and cancels out the anti-inflammatory health properties of the A?a? altogether!
Amazon Thunder is the only A?ai product you will ever need as it is very versatile in all it’s uses because of it’s consistency and pureness which puts it in a league of it’s own. It has the highest orac and antioxidant level of all versions of A?ai and wins hands down over all other A?ai juices and forms of A?ai on the market today. As a result of it’s high potency Amazon Thunder needs only to be taken in 1 -2 oz doses or 2-4 tablespoons per day!??
How will I know that I am taking pure A?ai pulp? If you’re taking a ready to drink A?ai juice product then your drinking a watered down or clarified and screened juice that has the skin and pulp removed thus leaving little nutritional or antioxidant value! Not with Amazon Thunder, we process our pulp juice product with 100% of the pulp solids and skin included to retain the most nutritional value of any A?ai product available today! The result? You only need one ounce per day!
Our A?ai is not farmed and grows wild in the Amazon, which assures the highest natural organic pureness and highest orac levels. Our A?ai juice contains orac levels over 50 times that of powder and processed A?ai smoothies and gel forms! Amazon Thunder A?a? contains:
A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, with 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.
?The fatty acid content in A?ai resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know inflammation causes aging. Amazon Thunder A?a? capsules ingredients:?? Each bottle of our A?a? capsules are 100% pure organic A?a? freeze dried powder, the first and only 100% pure A?a? capsules on the market! Guaranteed to have no other ingredients, carriers or fillers! The first and only capsules of this kind on the market today! It takes 10kg of the pure A?a? pulp juice to make just 1 kilo of this amazing powder and it retains all of it’s nutritional values! Highly rich in omega 3, 6 and 9! Pop open a capsules today and see the quality of this amazing powder! Compare it to any other capsule and you will see the difference is like night and day!??100x times more potent than 4:1 versions.
Amazon Thunder Acai pulp juice concentrate ingredients: Each bottle of Amazon Thunder A?ai Pulp? juice contains 100% pure Brazilian certified organic A?a? pulp and just a touch of organic concord grape concentrate, added to sweeten naturally because A?a? on it’s own is very tart and bland.?? Click here to read about the advantages of using concord grape as compared to all other methods of flavoring. We take the edge off naturally unlike all other A?a? companies who use cane sugar or cane juice or some other disguised word for sugar and who use water and many other filler fruits to sweeten. The main reason so many companies use sugar and sugared guarana is to act as a preservative!
The effect of the inflammation the sugar causes far exceeds that of even the worst chemical preservatives! Amazon Thunder contains no water, toxins or Guarana, which is a dangerous ephedrine like compound used by most companies. Our solutions is naturally preserved in a brand new formula coming out April.30th in place of the typical other natural preservatives citric acid, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate which were all used to deter bacterial, mold and yeast growth but will be discontinued. All of the above preservatives are naturally occurring are harmless to the human body and passed as water but we have opted to leave out sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in place of even more natural preservatives because they are tasteless. Without them,?there are threats of bacterial, fungi and yeast growth which most companies do not tell you about. All of these compounds act as either antimicrobials or antioxidants or both. They either inhibit the activity of or kill the bacteria, molds, insects and other microorganisms. Antimicrobials prevent the growth of molds, yeasts and bacteria and antioxidants keep foods from becoming rancid or developing black spots. They suppress the reaction when foods come in contact with oxygen, heat, and some metals. They also prevent the loss of many essential amino acids and vitamins.
