fermented papaya had reduced gastric mucosal damage at

endoscopy and the histological level. The net effect of ethanol

administration was reflected by the significant increase in the

luminol-amplified chemiluminescence response in gastric

mucosa as well as increased xanthine oxidase activity and

MDA together with a decreased glutathione concentration.

Fermented papaya supplementation was effective in

protecting against alcohol-induced gastric mucosal damage

(Marotta et al., 1999).

It is to be that Professor Montagnier commented on the

potential application of fermented papaya toward the

management of infection, typically as with the influenza virus

H1N1. Indeed the mucus membranes of mouth, pharynx,

throat, nose, are fragile, especially in a cold season and these

are partly protected from invading viruses and bacteria (by the

mucus and saliva). From the foregoing discussions, the anti-

inflammatory, immunostimulatory (particularly at the level of

mucus membranes) and potential induction of antioxidant

enzymes can be deduced. Thus improving the body’s immune
