I am tired but wanted to share that my pomegranate paper was not accepted for any further review. ‘Not up to standard’ - it was incomplete and I have since added a lot more material to the genetics Table, totally changing the strength of the paper.

It wasn't a good fit for length or type of audience. I will work it into a more general audience book with recipes and keep digging on the medical mechanisms of action if pomegranate. I made some breakthroughs, but rabbitholes do reach a point where more research is needed in labs by people who do that part. MicroRNA seem to be a big answer and the easy part is - the phytonutrients do the work, up or down regulating 100s to a 1000 microRNA and genes affected by the microRNA,, and….Retinoid Toxicity still seems involved for some people. - I am still working on that new section.

My pomegranate work would be ready for a clinical trail at a nursing home maybe. Or even a school, see if any behavior or health improvements on average.

When inflammation is common, a clinical trial with an effective anti-inflammatory might help better than a placebo because the average person these days, is inflamed.

I have worked hard trying to meet their standards, and it has improved my skills and led to learning a lot more important things and a few clues to keep digging at. There may be research and you just didn't use the right search phrase.

I do need to find out if I signed away some of my own rights to my material - the privacy clause. That paper needs changed anyway. New Work in Progress incoming. *old work in progress is still a mess following Table 9. genes and Table 10. Nutrients of Concern https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2lrpq96uk3yazp/Pomegranate%20Products%20for%20Pain%20of%20Histamine%20Excess_JDepew%20%281%29%20%281%29%20%281%29%20%281%29%20%281%29.docx?dl=0 - My ethic for years has been to share my work rather than try to patent or keep it secret*. It reaches some people even with the censored times. Public health education is of value and should be free - and safe - and cost-effective in addition to being effective. As there has been a deficit in free, safe, cost- effective and effective Public Health Education services, lately, I try to provide what I can, as best I can.

*My work is not secret allegedly anyway, the deepnet always gets it first allegedly. It sure is nice being a US citizen.
