He has witnessed a range of health benefits from his dispensing OPCs to patients. I have been joined in administering chiropractic therapy by my daughter Linda Wittingham, D.C., and we find that OPCs are highly therapeutic in inhalant-type allergy cases, and they frequently work against food allergies too. Bottles of the product are stocked in our dispensary, and a patient will acquire it for daily home use.
Most people respond well and feel better from taking OPCs.
Additionally, we have found OPCs to be helpful in overcoming capillary fragility, especially for blood vessel rupture in the eyes as occurs in diabetic retinopathy. We have used the maritime pine form of OPCs most often for the treatment of varicose veins, and the product seems to aid many cases. Often the varicose vein problem is reduced or relieved altogether. A 1980 clinical study was conducted utilizing 100 to 150 mg of Masquelier's OPCs per day on elderly people who suffered from exceedingly low capillary resistance. For ten of twenty-one old people participating in a second study, improved capillary resistance and permeability occurred when they were administered 100 mg of OPCs daily.
