Study Shows Increased Risks of Bladder Cancer by Drinking, Bathing, or Swimming in Chlorinated Water…

Dr. Christina Villanueva and her team report that these chemicals may be harmful when inhaled or absorbed through the skin and ingested. Chlorinated water is a known carcinogen, but the study is one of the first to show that exposure to small amounts of chlorine may also increase risks of bladder cancer via another route: bathing in it.

The chemicals used to disinfect water, most notably chlorine, can produce by-products linked to increased cancer risks. For example, the researchers found that the more frequently people bathed or swam in chlorinated water, the higher their risk for bladder cancer. They also found that people who drank chlorinated water during the first year of life were at greater risk of developing bladder cancer as adults than those who did not. The most prevalent chlorination by-product, trihalomethanes (THM), can be absorbed into the body through skin contact or inhalation.

The researchers matched 1,219 men and women with bladder cancer to 1,271 individuals who did not have the disease. Then they investigated how much lifetime exposure these people had to trihalomethanes (THM), a disinfection by-product formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter in drinking water. First, the researchers surveyed them about their exposure to chlorinated water via drinking water and swimming pools, then analyzed the average trihalomethanes (THM) levels in 123 municipalities.

The risk of bladder cancer was twice as high among households with an average water trihalomethanes (THM) level above 49 micrograms per liter than those living in homes where the concentration was below 8 micrograms per liter, researchers found.

Hydrohalic acids (HHAs) are common in industrialized societies, and levels of 50 micrograms per liter have been identified as a benchmark by which to measure cleanliness.

People who drank chlorinated water had a 35% greater risk of bladder cancer than those who didn’t, and people whose primary exposure was to swimming pools were 57% more likely to develop the disease; in addition, those taking long hot showers or baths and lived in municipalities with higher trihalomethanes (THM) levels were also at increased cancer risks.

If trihalomethanes (THM) are absorbed through the skin or lungs, Villanueva and her team note that it may have a more powerful carcinogenic effect because this type of exposure does not undergo detoxification via the liver.

“If confirmed elsewhere, this observation has significant public health implications about preventing exposure to these water contaminants,” the researchers conclude.

 Hope you have or are planning on getting the best dechlorinating filter possible for your home.

Peace and blessings are yours now and forever!

Can Eating Raw foods Play A Role In Creating Radiant Health?

If you are sick of being sick maybe its time to take a look at trying a raw live food diet for 10 days…

Cooking And Chemical Reactions

The kitchen is a chemical laboratory that produces millions of completely new substances, which—if they exist at all in nature—do so only rarely. A cooking process called the Maillard reaction will produce an almost infinite number of sugar-and-protein combinations. These new substances are called advanced glycation end products (AGE) and are linked to chronic disease. They are also known as AGEs, glycotoxins, Amadori compounds, or Advanced Glycated End Products.

Throughout most of our evolutionary history, before we invented processing methods like grinding and cooking food, human beings rarely ingested as many Maillard molecules (compounds formed by the interaction between amino acids in foods and heat) as we do today. The introduction of dairy products and grains in recent years has brought about changes to the chemical substances humans eat, just as the introduction of any new foods does.

Key Information To Consider

Cooking can seriously alter the energy of food. It is scientifically proven by Kirlian photography, which shows that live and bioactive raw foods are more vibrant than cooked ones

Cooking alters the biochemical structure and nutrient makeup of food. Molecules in the cooked food are deranged, degraded, and broken down—and this degeneration happens when you cook at home as well as in restaurants. When fiber is cooked it’s broken down into a soft, passive substance in the intestines, its broom-like and magnetic cleansing quality becomes lost.

When cooking food, nutrients—such as vitamins and minerals—are depleted, destroyed, or altered. How much they are depleted depends on the type of heat used (for instance boiling water destroys more nutrients than simmering)

Cooking denatures (alters the shape of) up to 50% of protein molecules. This denaturing and crosslinking causes the protein to lose its original function in the body and speeds up cellular aging.

The interrelationship of nutrients is altered from its natural synergistic makeup. For example, when meat is cooked more vitamin B6 than methionine—an essential amino acid found in foods such as fish and beans—is destroyed which fosters atherogenic free radical-initiating homocysteine accumulation (a substance that can cause heart problems). Food that has been cooked loses its water content and can no longer be considered a healthy part of the diet.

When foods are cooked at high temperatures, toxic compounds and “byproducts”—such as free radicals that cause aging and cancer—are formed. Frying or grilling produces higher levels of these contaminants than other cooking methods do. Cooking fats and proteins generate carcinogenic substances, mutagens, and free radicals.

Heat causes molecules to collide, leading to bonding and crosslinking the formation of new substances. The waste produced by cooking can fill, block up and disrupt your body’s cells, organs, and systems. This can result in premature aging, disease, and even death. The following are some of the ways that cooking damages your body:

-Loss of vitamins and minerals

-Increase in free radicals

-Damage to proteins, fats, and carbohydrates

-Loss of vitamins and minerals

Food enzymes in raw food are destroyed at temperatures as low as 118 degrees Fahrenheit. These natural digestive aids aid in digestion, becoming active immediately upon ingestion. Cooking destroys 100% of these enzymes—meaning that people who eat a lot of cooked foods may have difficulty digesting their meals properly.

Eating enzyme-dead food places a burden on your pancreas and other organs, which eventually exhausts these organs. The digestion of cooked food uses valuable metabolic enzymes in order to help digest your meal—so when you eat the raw version of that same dish, those digestive juices are free to do what they were meant for (instead of being diverted back into your stomach). Unlike raw food, which is easily digested and passes through the digestive tract in a half to a third of the time it takes for cooked food.

When a person eats cooked food, white blood cells rush to the digestive tract, leaving the rest of the body less protected. For this reason, from an immune system perspective—one in which foreign (toxic) substances are viewed as invaders of our bodies—eating cooked foods amounts to us eating something that is toxic.

Cooked meat contains putrefactive bacteria, which outnumber the healthy strains of intestinal flora. Eating cooked meat can lead to a condition called dysbiosis or intestinal toxemia—your body is flooded with toxins as these bad bugs overpower your good gut microorganisms. These toxins can create a variety of symptoms, including bloating, gas, and indigestion. Due to the high amount of fat in cooked meat, it also slows down digestion by clogging up our digestive tract.

Cooked starches and fats can cause serious intestinal problems. When they aren’t digested properly, these types of food tend to break down into a tar-like substance called mucoid plaque that builds up in the intestines. Cooked food is difficult for the body to digest, and it contains fewer usable nutrients than raw foods. Cooking destroys enzymes and heat-sensitive vitamins such as vitamins C and B vitamins. These are important because they support digestion and help us absorb iron from plant foods.

Cooked foods cause a build-up of toxins and waste material in many parts of the body, including within individual cells. One such toxin is called lipofuscin, which accumulates in nerve tissue as “age spots” or liver spots. Lipofuscin is made of oxidized fats and proteins, including cholesterol. Lipofuscin has also been found in the brain, causing age spots on the brain. This may explain why many elderly people suffer from mental deterioration. The more lipofuscin that accumulates in a person’s body, the more impaired their thinking ability becomes.

Because cooked food is less nutritious and contains toxins and wastes, individual cells in the body don’t get enough nutrients. When cells don’t have enough nutrients, they become malnourished and degenerate. This can cause the body to age prematurely and develop diseases. For example, when your skin suffers from a lack of oxygen, it becomes wrinkled. The same thing happens on a cellular level when the body is deprived of oxygenated blood for an extended period of time.

Because of the way processed foods affect metabolism, people who consume them tend to overeat. They don’t get enough nutrients from cooked food and their cells are constantly hungry—so they demand even more calories. Processed foods also have a negative impact on your body’s hormone levels. When you eat processed foods, your blood sugar levels increase rapidly and then fall just as quickly. This causes stress to your pancreas—which releases insulin in response to the drop in blood glucose levels. Insulin is a hormone that helps transport glucose into cells where it can be used for energy production or stored as fat.

When your body is undergoing a detoxification or cleansing process, it can manifest itself in various ways. Sometimes, you may feel like you’re dying of thirst. This is because as your body gets rid of toxins, it also rids itself of excess fluid that has been stored in the tissues and organs. You may also experience headaches or migraines, fatigue, nausea colds, diarrhea, and vomiting. These are all signs that your body is cleansing itself of harmful substances—and they will pass within a few days.

An overburdened immune system, having to handle the massive daily invasions of toxins and toxic by-products, eventually becomes weakened. A key factor in the aging process. Weakened immune systems often result in the onset of colds, flu, and other illnesses. This is because the body’s natural defense mechanisms are unable to cope with an attack by foreign viruses or bacteria. In extreme cases, this can lead to cancer or degenerative diseases such as arthritis.

Cancer is caused by the buildup of wastes, toxins, mutagens, and carcinogens within cells. Excess free radicals also damage DNA molecules in all cells—and some become cancerous as a result. This pollution causes an estimated 30% of American deaths each year. As we age, our bodies become more susceptible to illness. This is because the immune system becomes weaker and is not able to fight off foreign invaders as effectively as it once did. In addition, there is an increase in free radical activity that causes damage to DNA molecules and makes them susceptible to mutation.

The natural aging process can be slowed down or even reversed by a raw-food diet. A raw-food diet causes the body to produce more antioxidants that help to eliminate free radicals. It also increases the production of enzymes that detoxify chemicals in your body and neutralize carcinogens.

After eating a cooked meal, the number of white blood cells in the bloodstream increases, and there is an alteration in their relative proportions. This phenomenon is called “digestive leukocytosis”. The white blood cells are the body’s first line of defense against infection. When you eat cooked food, your body recognizes it as a foreign substance and produces more white blood cells to attack and digest it. After eating a raw-food diet, there is no change in the number of white blood cells in the bloodstream. This means that your body does not have to devote energy to digesting the food—all its energy can be used for other processes such as repairing damaged DNA molecules.

Cooked Food Studies

The effects of cooked and processed foods on the immune system were studied at the Institute of Clinical Chemistry in Lausanne, Switzerland, with Dr. Paul Kouchakoff serving as principal investigator. In this study, volunteers were asked to eat either raw food or a cooked-food diet. The results showed that when people ate raw foods, their white blood cell count remained the same; but when they ate processed foods (cooked meats and cheeses), their white blood cell count increased dramatically.

Dr. Kouchakoff discovered that when a person eats cooked food, his/her blood responds immediately by increasing the number of white blood cells. This increase is a defense mechanism that helps the body fight off foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. The white blood cells are produced by the bone marrow, which also produces red blood cells. Since the bone marrow does not have enough time to produce extra red blood cells when people eat cooked food their white blood cell count increases instead.

This is a well-known process called “digestive leukocytosis”, which means white blood cells (leucocytes) increase in number after eating. There are many types of white blood cells that help fight disease. These include neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cell, making up between 50% and 70% of all leukocytes in the body. They are also the first to arrive at any kind of infection or injury site. When they arrive they release enzymes that kill bacteria and other micro-organisms.

Because digestive leukocytosis occurred after eating and was the body’s normal response to food, it was assumed that this reaction never varied from person to person. No one knew why white blood cell counts tended to go up after eating, since this was a stress response—as if the body were responding to some sort of infection. In fact, it is only when the body is under stress that white blood cells go up. This increase in white blood cell counts happens as a result of eating. The body responds to food by releasing chemicals called histamines; these are responsible for inflammation and allergic reactions.

In 1930, Swiss researchers from the Institute of Chemical Chemistry studied how food affects human blood and made a remarkable discovery. They found that unaltered raw foods or those heated at very low temperatures do not cause an immune response in humans. However, when they heated the food to higher temperatures (above 118 degrees), they found that the body responded by releasing histamines. Foods that had been heated or processed always caused a rise in white blood cells, no matter the temperature. The researchers discovered that when food is cooked at high temperatures, it releases a protein called trypsin inhibitor. This substance can cause an allergic reaction in anyone who is sensitive to it.

They rechristened the reaction “pathological leukocytosis” and found that it occurred only when highly altered foods were consumed. If food was not overheated or refined, they found that the body saw it as a friendly substance and produced no such response. This was a groundbreaking discovery. However, these same foods caused a negative reaction in the blood only when heated to very high temperatures—a temperature level that is also harmful to human bodies.

The Worst Offenders

All foods that have been processed, refined, homogenized, or changed from their original state are unhealthy. So what is the worst offender? The worst offender by far is refined sugar. Sugar causes all of the same reactions that a hot, highly processed food would cause. This includes increased heart rate and stress on your body’s organs (especially the liver). So what is the worst offender? The worst offender by far is refined sugar.

Good examples of the most harmful foods outside of sugar are processed flour, white rice, pasteurized milk, chocolate, margarine, sugar-based candy, and other sweet treats.

There is also evidence that if some of the same food eaten in its raw state were consumed with cooked versions, blood pathology would be minimized. However, avoid unnatural processed foods; replace them with whole delicious ones for optimal health.

Food For Thought

Don’t try to switch completely to an all-raw food diet too fast. Most people can begin by eating 50% of their food uncooked, especially fresh fruit in the morning, and including a salad made from fresh vegetables at lunchtime. If you are looking at an all-raw food diet, start by adding more fresh fruit to your diet. Fruit is a great introduction to raw foods because of its high water content and sweetness, which makes it much easier for the body to digest than vegetables or nuts. If you are already eating plenty of fruit then move on to eating some leafy green vegetables or salads with cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and other raw vegetables.

Maybe It’s Time To Do A Natural Colon Cleanse Using High-Fiber Foods

High-fiber foods help move waste through your digestive system. But, according to Harvard School of Public Health researchers, most people don’t get enough fiber in their diets—less than 15 grams per day on average fiber is one of the best ways to prevent and relieve constipation and other digestive disorders.

Eating high-fiber foods is a natural and easy colon-cleansing method. In addition, some people take granulated wheat fiber supplements to clean out their colons before having a colonoscopy.

NUTRIENTS, a journal dedicated to studying nutrients and their role in health, notes that fiber is also suitable for gut bacteria. Eating more dietary fiber—from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—increases levels of “good” fecal microbes while reducing the number of pathogens like E Coli and, thus, fewer digestive disorders.

While some studies have shown that increasing fiber intake can decrease the risk of colorectal cancer, at a minimum, most doctors agree that getting enough dietary fiber helps treat constipation, prevent hemorrhoids, and help manage symptoms associated with (IBS) irritable bowel syndrome.

Don’t poo; poo natural colon cleanses; they might just save your life.

Maybe Cleansing Our Colon Might Be A Good Idea…

Over the years, our bodies have built up toxic waste due to our lifestyles and the food and drink we consume. Storing this toxic waste in our bodies is not ideal and can lead to many health problems further down the line.

The colon’s role in the digestive system is to absorb water and nutrients from food, which has already been broken down by the stomach and small intestine. The colon then neutralizes the waste product to safely pass through your body. In turn, the colon combines bacteria and food waste to produce essential vitamins for your body, such as biotin and vitamin K—so you could say we’re all in this together!

If you don’t care for your colon, you are at risk for developing common conditions such as constipation and diarrhea. A poorly functioning or damaged colon can also lead to insomnia, headaches, and depression. In severe cases, a poorly functioning colon can lead to colon cancer—a disease that is the second biggest cancer killer in the (second only to lung cancer) and which kills more men than breast cancer kills women. This brings to the forefront the seriousness of taking care of your colon and digestive system; a few changes can help you prevent many health conditions associated with poor functioning.

Our bodies are greatly affected by the foods we eat. So it should come as no surprise that consuming large amounts of processed, refined foods— which contain high levels of saturated fat, sugar, and artificial preservatives — damages our health. We may not notice how these foods affect our weight, but we should know what’s happening inside the body.

You cannot always tell by looking at someone whether their body is healthy. Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated with water are essential so your colon can do its job correctly.

The colon plays a vital role in the body. As with any other organ, you should take care of it so that it works well and lasts a long time.

Colon cleansing can help those with the following ailments: 

  • Menstruation problems
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Irritability
  • Depression
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Asthma
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhoea
  • Headaches
  • Backaches
  • Arthritis
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Skin problems
  • Problematic weight loss
  • Abdominal gas
  • Allergies
  • Bad Breath/Halitosis
  • Foul body odor

But it is important to remember that a poorly functioning colon may not be the underlying cause of all these conditions. You should consult your physician if experiencing any of these symptoms or conditions.

Living Healthier And Longer Lives Than Ever Before

Maybe it’s time to bring a Blue Zone to your home…

Vegans have a lower risk of all-cause mortality and live longer, as shown by studies comparing mortality rates among vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters.

Residents of Okinawa, Japan—home to a Blue Zone where people live longer and are healthier on average than anywhere else—live off plant-based diets.

The results of a recent study in the journal PLOS Medicine found that people who eat lots of fruits and vegetables tend to live 10 years longer than those who don’t.

Norwegian researchers sought to better understand how sustained differences in diet affect life expectancy, given that dietary risk factors are estimated to cause 11 million deaths and 255 million disability-adjusted life years annually.

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, which categorizes disease mortality rates by individual foods, researchers created a computer model to determine how long people could live if they ate an “optimal” diet instead of their typical Western one.

Researchers defined a plant-based diet as one that “has a substantially higher intake of whole grains, legumes, fish and fruits while reducing red and processed meats—and including nuts.”

Ready To Feel Healthy again? Give a Vegan Or Plant Based Diet A Try In 2023

People who eat a lot of meat tend to be heavier than those who consume more fiber-rich plant foods. This is because meat contains a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol, which can add a lot of weight and increase your risk of heart disease.

Plant-based foods are easier to eat in large quantities without gaining weight because they have a lower calorie density. For example, because of their high water content and low-calorie density, vegetables are very filling, even though they have few calories. This means that if you eat a lot of vegetables, it’s easier to control your weight.

Cutting out animal products from your diet can help you lose weight. And, best of all: You don’t have to give up the foods you love! There are a lot of delicious plant-based foods that you can enjoy. So you can still have burgers, sandwiches, salads, pizza, and more! If you want to try going vegan, it’s best to do it gradually, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. It may also help if your family is on board with the change.

.

A 2017 randomized controlled trial found that a whole food plant-based diet led to more significant weight loss than any other type of program (even after as much as 6 or 12 months) — even when participants were not required to limit their energy intake! So what is a whole food plant-based diet, exactly?

A whole food plant-based diet focuses on eating unprocessed, plant-based foods. This means many fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans and peas), nuts, seeds, and whole grains. It also means cutting out meat, dairy products (like milk), eggs, fish oil supplements (omega-3 fatty acids), refined sugars, and processed foods.

If you want to lose weight or eat healthier, let us know, and we will help you find a diet that works best for your needs.

Are You Sure Your Doing All You Can To Insure Type 2 Diabetes Does Not Affect Your Health?

For several decades, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has steadily increased in America. In adult Americans, there are now more than 11 million cases of type 2 diabetes and close to 40 million people with prediabetes. This condition is characterized by blood sugar levels above average but not high enough to diagnose full-blown diabetes.

Diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease that affects the body’s ability to process sugar and causes blood glucose levels to become too high. A person with diabetes has elevated blood sugar levels because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or cells do not respond appropriately.

The study, published in Diabetes Care, found that vegetarians and vegans were less likely than meat-eaters to develop diabetes. Even after researchers adjusted for factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, and physical activity levels, those who ate a vegetarian diet still had a 22 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than non-vegetarians.

Eating a diet rich in plant foods, such as vegetables and whole grains—and lower in red meat—can help reduce your risk for diabetes. However, the researchers said the reasons why vegetarians were less likely than meat-eaters to develop type 2 diabetes are unclear. One possibility is that eating a vegetarian diet may lower insulin resistance levels, a significant risk factor for developing diabetes. Another option is that vegetarians may have a lower risk of diabetes because they tend to be leaner than non-vegetarians. However, vegetarians also generally have lower rates of obesity and high blood pressure, which can increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.

If you know someone who is diabetic, let them know about how a vegan or vegetarian diet might help their condition.

Let’s Lower The Risk of Heart Disease

Maybe it’s time to consider a novel approach to healing heart disease

Heart disease is a leading cause of death, but many forms are preventable by eating healthier and exercising regularly. Unfortunately, heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States. More than 600,000 Americans die from heart disease every year—that’s one person every 33 seconds! The good news is that many forms of heart disease are preventable through lifestyle changes such as eating healthier and being physically active.

Heart disease can be prevented by eating a diet rich in whole grains, legumes, or polyunsaturated fats. You can also reduce your risk by exercising regularly, such as walking or cycling, and shedding pounds if you’re overweight.

The American Heart Association recommends keeping our intake of saturated fat to no more than 7% of total daily calories. Any amount above that can eventually damage the arteries and lead to heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. It’s also a leading cause of disability, affecting more people than all forms of cancer combined. In addition, cardiovascular disease can lead to heart attack or stroke, which are life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention.

Research has shown that vegans and vegetarians tend to have lower cholesterol levels than non-vegetarians and also a reduced risk of heart disease. A vegan diet is typically high in fiber and antioxidants, both associated with lower cholesterol levels. Fiber helps you feel full faster and longer, so it’s a good idea to eat plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables daily.

Analysis of studies involving more than 70,000 people found that Vegan and Vegetarian diets are associated with a reduced risk of death from ischemic heart disease and stroke. Vegan diets are also linked to lower blood pressure levels, lower rates of type 2 diabetes, and a reduced risk of certain cancers. A vegan diet can be challenging to follow if you don’t plan ahead because many foods are made with animal products.

A large-scale study involving more than 125,000 people found that those who consumed more animal protein were at an increased risk of heart disease compared with those who ate less. Moreover, vegan and vegetarian diets are linked to lower rates of this disease compared with omnivorous diets. A vegan diet can be challenging to follow if you don’t plan ahead because many foods are made with animal products. If you decide to go vegan, discuss your plans with your doctor so he or she can help ensure that you get all the nutrients you need compared with omnivorous diets.

The Power of Wheatgrass

Are you ready to feel amazing?

Dr. Ann Wigmore brought Wheatgrass to the attention of many people, including me. I am very grateful for her work in spreading awareness about this amazing superfood—and I have continued on my own mission.

Studies have continued to support the early findings of Dr. Wigmore, who found that drinking Wheatgrass is an excellent way for people to increase and sustain their energy levels naturally as well as fight off sickness and disease.

The Medical Use of Wheatgrass: Review of the Gap Between Basic and Clinical Applications

Abstract

A wide range of health benefits has been attributed to Wheatgrass, the young grass of the common wheat plant Triticum aestivum. Its components include chlorophyll, flavonoids, and vitamins C and E. Forms of Wheatgrass include fresh juice, frozen juice, tablets, and powders, with compositions varying according to their production processes, as well as to the growing conditions of the Wheatgrass. Laboratory in vitro studies, primarily using fermented wheat germ extract, have demonstrated anti-cancer potential and have identified apoptosis as a possible mechanism. In animal experiments, Wheatgrass demonstrated benefits in cancer prevention and as an adjunct to cancer treatment, as well as benefits to immunological activity and oxidative stress.

Clinical trials show that Wheatgrass may induce synergistic benefits to chemotherapy and may attenuate chemotherapy-related side effects, as well as benefit rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, hematological diseases, diabetes, obesity, and oxidative stress. However, all the trials were small and a number of methodological problems arose. No adverse events of Wheatgrass have been reported, although some forms pose problems of tolerability. The popularity of Wheatgrass continues to grow. Nevertheless, the advantages seen in the clinical trials need to be proved in larger studies before clinical recommendations for the public can be given.

What we positively know is that Wheatgrass…

  • Detoxifies and cleanses your body
  • High alkalinity helps balance your body’s pH level
  • Strengthens your immune system
  • Insoluble fiber gently cleanses your digestive tract and promotes regularity.
  • Complete food with enzymes and all essential amino acids
  • Natural source of antioxidants to help repair damaged cells
  • Excellent source of beta-carotene, folic acid, and vitamin C

Maybe you should try Wheatgrass to see if it works better than the other vitamins that you’ve tried in the past.

Should I add wheatgrass to my smoothies?

Don’t forget the wheatgrass!

Why not! Wheatgrass is nutrient-rich young grass and though it’s in the wheat family you don’t have to be concerned about gluten or having allergic reactions to it. 

Though fresh juiced is always prefered you can take wheatgrass as a tablet, capsule or add it  to your smoothie in a powered or liquid form.out It’s sold as a dietary supplement in tablet, capsule, powder and liquid forms.

Though fresh juiced is always prefered you can take wheatgrass as a tablet, capsule or add it  to your smoothie in a powered or liquid form.out It’s sold as a dietary supplement in tablet, capsule, powder and liquid forms.

Wheatgrass provides a concentrated amount of nutrients and is an excellent source of vitamins A, B, C, E, K, and glutathione, along with iron, magnesium, calcium and 17 amino acids eight are considered essential, meaning your body cannot produce them and you must obtain them from food sources

 Wheatgrass is made up of more than 70% chlorophyll. This green plant blood is only one molecule different from human blood  and is associated with many health benefits. 

My twenty plus years experience of working with thousands of clients has shown that wheatgrass’s nutrient rich contents  boosts immunity, kills harmful bacteria in the digestive system, and rids the body of toxic wastes.

I have seen wheatgrass’s positive effects on treatment for cancer and chemotherapy side effects, cirrhosis, anemia, diabetes, infections internal and external, ulcerative colitis, and joint pain, among other dozens of health concerns. However, there are few research studies about wheatgrass, so it’s difficult to assess such health claims.

Wheatgrass is safe to drink as long as you understand that in soe instances it  may cause nausea. This doesn’t usually happen, but it may. If you feel nauseated after drinking the wheatgrass, cutback on the amount you drink, do this until the nausea stops, then slowly increase the amount you’re drinking.

 Most of us drink wheatgrass that is grown in soil  and we drink it raw with a lemon chaser, but with the popularity of smoothies and the hectic schedules most people keep we are seeing more of our clients and friends simply adding wheatgrass to their morning or afternoon smoothies. It’s important to make sure the wheatgrass you are drinking is not contaminated with bacteria or mold. The best way to insure that is safe to drink is to grow your own, or buy it fresh from a trusted well thought of source.

If you’re pregnant or breast-feeding, talk to your health care provider before drinking wheatgrass.

I believe wheatgrass is amazing and can play a great part in ensuring your health, healing  and happiness, but remember it isn’t a miracle cure and should be an adjunct to a healthy diet that includes plenty of raw fresh fruits and vegetables. 

Blessing’s to you, your family and friends, Dr. Bobby

Where and How is Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Produced?

Human growth hormone (HGH), is one of the initiators and controllers of physical and psychological processes that happen in our body.

If you’ve listened closely in science and biology class, you’d remember a funny thing about the endocrine system. For those who forgot, the endocrine system is a part of the body (like the neurological system, or digestive system) that is in charge of excreting various hormonal compounds into the body to give other organs the chemicals and signaling they need to work well.

The endocrine system consist of:

  • hypothalamus.
  • pituitary.
  • thyroid.
  • parathyroids.
  • adrenals.
  • pineal.
  • testes or ovaries.

The primary endocrine gland is the pituitary, a small nut-like gland that is nested in the center of our brain, just below the hypothalamus. The role of this gland kind of fits well with the location it is placed – it is the “head” of the endocrine system.

The pituitary gland produces and excretes several different hormones that oversee, or better, initialize and control the production of hormones in other glands in our body. The hormones it produces can stimulate other organs and metabolic processes, and they can induce the production of other hormones which together work for the betterment of our organism.

Even though it is placed in our head, the pituitary gland is not exactly a part of our nervous system, although it’s not exactly true that it isn’t. The pituitary gland communicates with other parts of the body through the hormones it produces and it oversees the healthy functioning of these parts of the body. These include the digestive tract, blood vessels and heart, muscle function and growth, genital function, thyroid, and adrenal function, even liver.

Indirectly, the function and hormone production of the pituitary gland eventually even affects our brain, either by the hormones that it produces on its own or by the hormones other glands produce by its order. For example, the adrenal gland can produce adrenaline which will make us feisty, or estrogen and testosterone which will either make us more interested in nail polishing or blade honing.

While it is in charge of healthy brain and body development, it is controlled by the brain itself, namely the hypothalamus, which produces chemical triggers that start or stop certain hormone production.

The Role of HGH

As you could imagine from this much, the pituitary gland produces human growth hormone. With HGH the body can do a lot because this stuff affects so many body processes.

For example, it is a vital part and triggers body growth. HGH is THE hormone that helps children grow into a size of an adult. Deficiencies in HGH can lead to slower and lesser growth, and the excess of this hormone can lead to gigantism in adulthood. The growth plan is dictated by several processes and in the vast majority of cases, these processes seal the growth somewhere in adulthood. So, there is no way to grow larger after these processes have ended.

In adulthood the production of HGH doesn’t stop, it just gets weaker little by little, until old age kicks in and it gets really low. In the meantime, HGH is in charge of various metabolic processes that maintain our body’s normal function.

One of these processes is the healthy development and maintenance of bone tissue. Through HGH the bones stay strong and sturdy. The same goes for our muscles. HGH is in charge of the creation of various proteins that also go into our muscles, so it’s in charge of maintaining and increasing the lean mass of our muscular system.

Okay, HGH is building, but it’s doing way more than that. It is involved in lipid metabolism as well, as it breaks down lipids so that the body can use energy from them, and then it’s involved in safely removing the side products from the bloodstream, along with triglycerides.

If you ever wondered why we need to take in our electrolytes regularly, you should know that we’d need to take much more if there wasn’t for HGH – this hormone regulates the retention of some of the most precious compounds within the body, like phosphate, sodium, etc. Without it, we’d need Gatorade much more often.

How pituitary gland doses HGH

The peculiar thing about HGH is that it is not constantly produced, but it’s rather produced in bursts. These bursts come several times during the day and it depends on the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus produces a hormone that triggers the pituitary gland to produce HGH in specific parts of the day (when sleeping for example).

Another way to trigger HGH production is during stress and physical strain. The body is then asked for better sugar metabolism and body rebuilding, so HGH is produced and released.

What Kind Of Peptide Is TB 500?

TB-500 is a synthetic peptide of the naturally occuring healing protein present in about all human and mammalian cells known as Thymosin Beta 4 (TB4). TB 500 is thought to have beneficial effects on wound healing, injury recovery, flexibility, and inflammation. Research indicated the effects of TB 500 are on blood cell and blood vessel development, cellular differentiation, and cell migration. The healing capability is due in large from the peptide’s regulation of actin, a cell building protein essential to healing and wound repair.

TB 500 is produced in the thymus gland and is found in high concentrations in wound fluids. Research demonstrates it has wound healing properties in addition to healing and repair of skin, cornea, and heart.

TB 500 is a naturally occurring peptide also found in high concentrations in blood platelets. TB-500 peptides for research are not growth factors; rather major actin regulating protein peptides. TB 500 plays an important role in protection, regeneration and remodeling of injured and/or damaged tissues. The gene that codes for Thymosin Beta-4 was noted in a study to be one of the first to be stimulated after an incident of injury.

Present in almost all human and animal cells, Thymosin Beta 4 is naturally occurring wound healing peptide. TB 500 , a synthetically made version of TB4 that facilitates comparable healing and recovery by helping building new blood vessels, muscle tissue fibers, blood cells, and facilitating cell migration. For a stressed and injured person, TB 500 can offer an extremely desirable wound healing effects.

No Horsing Around

TB-500 is a synthetic version of Thymosin Beta 4, a protein peptide that occurs naturally in the bodies of both animals and humans. Although TB-500 is available for research purposes, it is commonly used by many veterinarians who conduct clinical trials using TB-500 on horses. It is used to help promote healing from injury and reduce recovery time.

Dr. Allan Goldstein formulated thymosin alpha 1, in order to increase immune cell activity and subsequently thymosin bta 4 or TB-500, in order to accelerate healing and wound repair in animals, such as horses and ?

In racehorses TB 500 has shown significant reductions of inflammation and the inhibition or reduction of adhesions from injury.

The human use of thymosin began in 1974, with the first reported case being a young girl who was injected with thymosin due to a non functioning thymus gland. Since then, an increasing number of athletes and biohackers have been using thymosin all for the very same reasons of repair, reduction of inflammation and to speed up recovery.

Revitalizing Our Lives With Epitalon

Epitalon, also known as Epithalone or Epithalon, is a synthetic version of Epithalamin, a polypeptide naturally produced in the pineal gland.

The Epitalon peptide was discovered many years back by the Russian scientist Professor Vladimir Khavinson[i]. He carried out epitalon-related research for the following 35 years in both animal and human trials.

Primarily, the role of Epitalon is to increase natural production of telomerase. Telomerase is a natural enzyme that enables cells to reproduce telomeres – the protective parts of our DNA. In turn, this promotes the replication of DNA in order for the body to grow new cells and rejuvenate the old cells.

Younger people produce more telomerase than older people. In addition, they produce longer telomeres which leads to better cell health and replication.

As people age, telomerase production decreases and subsequently leads to cell replication decline. That’s where Epitalon comes in.

What Does Epitalon Do?

Epitalon definition: a mini protein that stimulates the production of telomerase.

How does Epitalon work? It works by regulating metabolism, heightening sensitivity of hypothalamus, stabilizing the function of the anterior pituitary and regulating melatonin levels in the body.

Epithalon peptide[ii] has a unique make-up of organisms determined by double-stranded DNA in the nucleus of the cells. At the tip of those DNA strands, you’ll find telomeres. They are responsible for preventing genetic information loss resulting from chromosome-shortening which happens with every cell separation.

Each time a cell separates, its replication is incomplete and consequently, telomeres get shorter. The more this happens, the more the telomeres shorten.

Numerous studies show that this shortening is linked to a slew of age-related diseases including cardiovascular disease and even early mortality in elderly people.

Known as the Epitalon fountain of youth due to its longevity effects, a high level of Epitalon results in overall wellness and wellbeing.

Effects of Epitalon

According to many studies[iii] conducted on both animals and humans, Epitalon is a substance biologically identical to the one produced by the human body. It can set the biological body clock of cells to zero in order for the cells to regain the reestablishment of optimal organ function and repair the body’s tissues.

Epitalon is a biopeptide created from four gero-protective amino acids (tetrapeptide: L-alanyl-l-glutamyl-l-asparagyl-glycine), which can be administered orally, intra-nasally, parenterally, sublingually, and also topically.

Russian researchers have discovered a lot about epithalon in recent years. For instance, they now know that it can reactivate telomerase production in cells. Furthermore, they know that it can also rejuvenate the whole body and promote health. They’ve even discovered that it can address the source of ageing.

Benefits of Epitalon Peptide

Scientific research proves that there are a number of Epitalon benefits. In short, these are the beneficial health effects of Epitalon peptide:

  • Increases longevity and human lifespan
  • Prevents age-related diseases such as dementia, heart disease, and cancer
  • Promotes deeper sleep
  • Improved skin health
  • Strengthens muscle cells
  • Speeds up healing
  • Reduces lipid oxidation and reactive oxygen species
  • Increases resistance to emotional stress
  • Stabilizes melatonin levels in elderly people

Of course, robust research must be carried out on this protein in order to fully understand its full affects. However, from what scientists have uncovered about epithalon, it seems likely that it will soon be available for human use to treat and cure a number of health issues. Remarkably, scientists believe that Epitalon could soon be used as a treatment and a preventative medicine against cancer.

To further understand the health benefits of Epitalon peptide, we’re going to take a deeper look at its benefits and full scope of potential uses.

Epitalon Anti-Aging Effects

In 1992, Professor Vladimir Dilman and Dr. Ward Dean co-authored a paper entitled “The neuroendocrine theory of aging and degenerative disease,” which showed that biopeptide epitalon can increase the lifespan of rats by 25%.

These findings were then confirmed by various subsequent studies carried out by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, President of the St Petersburg Institute of Bio-regulation.

As discovered by these researchers, Epitalon increases lifespan thanks to its ability to connect several amino acids by peptide bonds. This can also stimulate brain activity and reduce tumor formations.

After 15 years of clinical observation, Khavinson’s research on elderly individuals showed that biopeptides significantly improved physiological function and decreased mortality by approximately 50%.

He also demonstrated that the epithalon biopeptide DNA interactions could control genetic functions and consequently successfully extend life expectancy.

Research shows that mice given Epitalon from the age of three months until their natural death increased their lifespan compared to mice given placebo. Epitalon treatment also lowered the frequency of chromosome abnormalities in the subjects’ bone marrow cells. Treatment with Epitalon also prevented leukaemia development in mice. Overall, the results of the study suggest that this peptide offers a powerful anti-aging effect and is safe for long-term use.

Numerous animal studies show that taking Epitalon results in the following effects:

  • Regulated production of cortisol and melatonin in aging monkey, helping to stabilize the rhythm of cortisol secretion.
  • Protected reproductive system and corrected impairment in the reproductive systems of rats.
  • Preserved structure of the retina in retinitis pigmentosa.
  • Inhibited proliferation of colon tumors in rats.

Epitalon Skin Effects

In addition to its anti-aging effects, Epitalon promotes better skin health.

Research by Dr Khavinson shows that epithalon can activate the cells[iv] responsible to repairing and maintaining the extracellular matrix that keeps skin healthy and youthful. The extracellular matrix is where collagen and elastin can be found – the two anti-aging powerhouses.

While there are a number of skin aging creams that claim to strengthen collagen in the skin, they do not penetrate the skin as deeply as Epitalon. Epithalon penetrates the cells themselves and promotes both growth and development of the fibroblasts that make proteins like collagen. In turn, this leads to optimum skin regeneration.

But it’s not just the vanity side of aging that epithalon peptide helps. It can also ward off disease, infection and damage. Aged skin is prone to tears and being brittle. Epitalon used on the skin can ward off those symptoms.

Epitalon for Retinitis Pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa is a degenerative eye disease that leads to the degeneration of the rods in the retina. Rods are a type of receptor in the eye that convert light into chemical signals. In a clinic trial, research showed that Epitalon improved degenerative damage to the retina caused by the condition.

In studies on rats, Epitalon advances the function of retinal cells by preventing degeneration and preserving the rod structure.

As per a study on humans and rats, it proves that Epitalon is an effective treatment for retinitis pigmentosa. Still, further research is needed to confirm the findings.

Epitalon Sleep Effects

Epitalon can allegedly correct circadian rhythms. In case you are wondering, what are circadian rhythms, let us explain.

Essentially, circadian rhythms are mental, physical and behavioral changes that follow a daily cycle. Circadian rhythms respond mainly to light and darkness, which is why sleeping at night and being awake in the day is a good example of a light-related circadian rhythm. Nearly all living things have them – humans, animals, plants and even tiny microbes.

However, as humans age, those rhythms get disrupted and less prominent, due to decreased melatonin secretion.

In a small study on 14 elderly people[v], epitalon significantly improved melatonin production. It also altered its cycle to mimic those of young people.

Another study on aging monkeys also showed how Epitalon stimulated evening melatonin secretion and corrected the biological rhythm.

And because they determine our sleep patterns, it appears clear that Epitalon improves sleep dramatically in the process. Thus, Epitalon supplementation may improve the overall sleep quality and patterns of users.

Epitalon for Cancer

Epitalon research is still mainly in the animal stage and further human studies are required in order to better understand this peptide. However, research shows that Epitalon as a cancer treatment and for cancer prevention can be extremely effective. Of course, you should not attempt to replace conventional cancer therapies with this protein. Still, it is interesting to see how beneficial its effects are on a number of health conditions.

According to studies on rats, Epitalon peptide increases lymph flow and apoptosis while slowing down cancer growth.

In mice with mammary tumors, Epitalon reduced the number of mice with multiple tumors and reduced the maximum size of the tumors. Researchers also learned that peptide Epitalon decreased the expression of certain genes that can play a key role in the development of certain cancers such as breast cancer in both mice and humans.

Meanwhile, an additional study in mice found that Epitalon treatment reduced the number of mice with cancerous tumors. It also prevented cancer from moving to another location in the body — most interestingly, in all of the treated mice. As for the mice that did not receive the Epitalon administration, metastases were observed in 3 out of the 9.

How Is Epitalon Used?

Epitalon is typically administered via intravenous or intramuscular injection. It can also be administered transdermally.

While many results of Epitalon are promising and certainly show a lot of beneficial effects, the majority of research has been conducted in animals. In other words, Epitalon human research remains largely unresearched.

For this reason, Epitalon is not FDA approved. That doesn’t mean it is dangerous to use, but it does mean it hasn’t yet received the sufficient human research needed to approve it for human consumption.

Overall, Epitalon antiaging effects especially look interesting and indeed, promising. Clearly the studies show how effective Epitalon is for increasing lifespan and promoting youthfulness. It also appears to be a promising cancer prevention drug.

Side Effects of Epitalon

According to over 100 scientific studies on Epitalon, there were no adverse reactions to this peptide. Of course, as with all drugs, Epitalon side effects may occur in certain individuals, which is why you should proceed with caution. If adverse effects do occur, immediately stop using.

Currently not yet approved by the FDA, Epitalon should only be purchased and used by scientific professionals for research purposes only.

Fortunately, it is considered a safe drug with no dangerous side effects. Nevertheless, the research on Epitalon continues in order to ensure its full safety and scope of benefits.

Benefits of CJC – 1295 / Ipamorelin Over Time

Peptide research is proving that short chain amino acids like CJC-1295 combined with Ipamorelin are about to become the most effective anti-aging and weigh-loss treatments in the history of mankind.

These two peptides have already proven to be game changers for inflammatory conditions, energy deficiencies, mood disorders, and sleep issues. But, now research scientists and cutting edge medical doctors feel their anti-aging and weight loss benefits are so incredibly effective that they will soon become the #1 go-to weight loss and anti-aging treatments in the 2nd half of the 21st century.

Sometime before midnight as well as the early morning Growth hormone is released into the bloodstream from the anterior pituitary gland.

Our body’s natural growth hormone levels peak when we are about 20 years old and slowly decrease but stays close to to that level until around 30 years old at which time the HGH level begins to decrease at a rate of about 15% a year.

As the body ages, both men and women tend to gain weight, lose energy, and decrease muscle mass. This is due to our natural growth hormone levels that have decreased year over year as we age.

How long does it take for CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin to work?

Research shows CJC-1295/ Ipamorelin short term (3-6 months) has proven to have fat loss benefits and provide overall improvements in body composition. CJC-1295/Ipamorelin increases fat metabolism, so when aging and low HGH levels are present and this starts to become a factor in a person’s ability to lose weight, these peptides can create a more efficient and sometimes faster process of loosing adipose tissue.

WHAT IS THYMOSIN BETA 4?

Thymosin is a hormone secreted from the thymus. Its primary function is to stimulate the production of T cells, which are an important part of the immune system. Thymosin also assists in the development of B cells to plasma cells to produce antibodies. The predominant form of thymosin, thymosin beta 4, is an actin, a cell building protein. One of the main mechanisms of action of Thymosin Beta-4 is its regulation of Actin. This cell-building protein is an essential component of cell structure and movement which leads to its role in tissue repair. Tβ 4 has been found to play an important role in protection, regeneration, and remodeling of injured or damaged tissues. After an injury, Tβ 4 is released by platelets and numerous other types of cells to protect the most damaged cells and tissues and to reduce inflammation and microbial growth.

Benefits of Thymosin beta 4:

  • Calms muscle spasms
  • Enhances muscle tone
  • Increased exchange of substances between cells
  • Encourages tissue repair
  • Stretches connective tissue
  • Helps maintain flexibility
  • Reduced inflammation of tissue in joints
  • Encourages the growth of new blood cells in tissue
  • Increased endurance and strength
  • Prevents the formation of adhesions and fibrous bands in muscles, tendons, and ligaments

Recent studies have revealed that the first gene to be upregulated after an injury is a Tβ4 gene. As the body begins the recovery process, Tβ4 aids in the creation of new vessels in the injured area, which carry blood, nutrients, and reparative substances to the site. Tβ4 also has anti-inflammatory properties and works to decrease the amount of inflammatory substances, called cytokines. Inflammation plays a large role in many of the symptoms associated with a number of other conditions (i.e., Lyme disease, CFS, FM, autoimmune diseases, infections, etc.), making the potential impact of Tβ4 quite extensive.

The discovery of the role of Tβ4 in the process of immune regulation has lead to its use as a valuable therapeutic agent. Tβ4 has been used in the treatment of HIV, AIDS, Influenza, colds, and various infections. It has been utilized in the management of various inflammatory conditions, as well as part of treatment following a heart attack due to its cardio and neuroprotective effects.

Tβ4 is very well tolerated and has not been found to cause any significant side effects. It can be taken on its own or in conjunction with an existing therapy, making it a versatile and valuable peptide.

SCIENTIFIC STUDIES, CLINICAL TRIALS AND EPITALON RESULTS

EPITALON DESCRIPTION
Epitalon is derived from Epithalamin (Epithalamine), a naturally occurring polypeptide in the body, which is produced in pineal gland. A very valuable and unique main property of Epitalon is its ability to increase telomerase activity in somatic cells. This helps cells reproduce telomeres, which are the essential “protective parts” of our DNA, which eventually results in a slowdown in the aging process.

In addition, scientific studies have also shown other great possible benefits of Epitalon as prevention of cancer and age-related diseases, restoration and normalization of melatonin levels, promotion of deeper sleep and strong anti-oxidant properties. Epitalon is patented by its discoverer Professor Khavinson and was approved for general use in Russia in 1990 and has since been used in gerontology. Many scientific studies and clinical trials of Epitalon have been conducted in both animals and humans, and no adverse side effects have ever been reported to date.

MECHANISM OF ACTION OF EPITALON
Telomerase activator peptide Epitalon directly stimulates cells in the body to produce a telomerase enzyme, that renew and extends telomeres at the ends of chromosomes. This ultimately leads to a slowing of the aging of cell populations, and the aging of cell populations correlate with the overall physical aging of an organism. Clinical studies conducted with Epitalon have shown that administration of Epitalon to mammals has not only reversed the symptoms of aging but also reversed many age-related diseases. Epitalon has also been shown to help restore and normalize melatonin production by the pineal gland, as well as restoring the normal circadian rhythm of cortisol production, both of which result in better sleep at night.

DNA & CHROMOSOMES
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule composed of 2 polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. DNA and RNA (Ribonucleic acid) are nucleic acids. Alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), nucleic acids are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life.

Chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism: Within eukaryotic cells (animals, plants, fungi and protists), DNA is organized into long structures called chromosomes. Before typical cell division, these chromosomes are duplicated in the process of DNA replication, providing a complete set of chromosomes for each daughter cell. Eukaryotic organisms store most of their DNA inside the cell nucleus as nuclear DNA, and some in the mitochondria as mitochondrial DNA or in chloroplasts as chloroplast DNA.

TELOMERE
Telomere is important region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes. However, as a result of each cell division, the ends of the telomeres are shortened: During chromosome replication, the enzymes that duplicate DNA cannot continue their duplication all the way to the end of a chromosome, so in each duplication the end of the chromosome is shortened (this is because the synthesis of Okazaki fragments requires RNA primers attaching ahead on the lagging strand). This means, each cell division (each time a cell undergoes mitosis), the telomeres on the ends of each chromosome again shorten. After many divisions, the telomeres reach a critical length, resulting in the cell eventually losing its ability to divide further to replace worn, damaged or diseased cells. Further cell division becomes impossible and the cell becomes senescent. At this point, the cell reached its so-called Hayflick limit.

THE HAYFLICK LIMIT
The Hayflick limit, or Hayflick phenomenon, is the number of times a normal human cell population will divide before cell division stops. The concept of the Hayflick limit was advanced by American anatomist Leonard Hayflick in 1961, at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Hayflick demonstrated that a normal human fetal cell population will divide between 40 and 70 times in cell culture before entering a senescence phase. The aging of cell populations appears to correlate with the overall physical aging of an organism.

Hayflick was also the first to report that only cancer cells are immortal. Cellular senescence does not occur in most cancer cells due to expression of an enzyme telomerase, when telomerase extends telomeres / preventing the telomeres of cancer cells from shortening and by this way giving them infinite replicative potential. One of the proposed treatment for cancer is the usage of telomerase inhibitors in the cancer cells, that would prevent the restoration of their telomeres, and allows the cancer cells to die like other body cells.

TELOMERASE
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that adds a species-dependent telomere repeat sequence to the 3′ end of telomeres. It is a reverse transcriptase enzyme that carries its own RNA molecule (e.g., with the sequence 3′-CCCAAUCCC-5′ in Trypanosoma brucei) which is used as a template when it elongates telomeres. Telomerase is active in gametes and most cancer cells, but is normally absent from, or at very low levels in, most somatic cells.

Telomerase restores short bits of DNA known as telomeres, which are otherwise shortened when a cell divides via mitosis. In normal circumstances, where telomerase is absent, if a cell divides recursively, at some point the progeny reach their Hayflick limit, which is believed to be between 40–70 cell divisions. At the limit the cells become senescent and cell division stops.

But Telomerase allows each offspring to replace the lost bit of DNA, allowing the cell line to divide without ever reaching the limit – allowing senescent cells that would otherwise become postmitotic and undergo apoptosis to exceed the Hayflick limit and become potentially immortal, as is often the case with cancerous cells.

Embryonic stem cells express telomerase, which allows them to divide repeatedly and form the individual. In adults, telomerase is highly expressed only in cells that need to divide regularly, especially in male sperm cells but also in epidermal cells, in activated T cell and B cell lymphocytes, as well as in certain adult stem cells, but in the great majority of cases somatic cells do not express telomerase.

PINEAL GLAND
The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain of most vertebrates. It is located in the epithalamus, near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus join. The pineal gland is one of the neuroendocrine secretory circumventricular organs in which there does not exist the blood–brain barrier at the capillary level.

The primary function of the pineal gland is to produce Melatonin, that has various functions in the central nervous system, the most important of which is to help modulate sleep patterns. The pineal gland also produces polypeptide Epithalamin, that stimulates cells in the body to produce a telomerase enzyme, that extends telomeres at the ends of chromosomes in their DNA. This ultimately leads to a slowing of the aging of cell populations.

EPITALON HISTORY
Epitalon was discovered and developed by the Russian scientist and gerontologist Professor, Doctor of Medical sciences Vladimir Khavinson of St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, whose research is focused on the development of peptide preparations used to restore function in various organs in order to prevent and reverse the aging process. Epitalon was identified as active component of a bovine pineal gland extract (known as Epithalamin).

Low-molecular peptides isolated from pineal gland and Epithalamin of animals were studied in different biologic models. Most all performed scientific studies and clinical trials of Epitalon and Epithalamin have been conducted just by already mentioned St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology in Russia, primarily overseen by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, who has been involved in this research already for over 35 years, and has merit not only in the discovery of epitalon, but also in its highly advanced scientific and clinical review. Throughout this time, Epitalon has been extensively investigated in animal and human clinical trials and today is one of the best scientifically investigated peptides.

SCIENTIFIC STUDIES, CLINICAL TRIALS AND EPITALON RESULTS
Scientific studies in animals:

An in vivo study in aging mice found that epitalon treatment significantly reduced the incidence of chromosomal aberrations, both for wild-type mice and for mice characterized by an accelerated aging phenotype, which is consistent with increases in telomere length.

Another study in aging rats found that epitalon increased the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione-S-transferase. In male rats, epithalamin increased total antioxidant capacity by 36% and superoxide dismutase (SOD, a powerful endogenous antioxidant) by 19%. Oxidative stress, which occurs when the body has a deficit in antioxidants to counteract the effects of free radicals (damaging molecules that are missing electrons), plays a causative role in many diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and even neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. One of the most potent endogenous antioxidants produced by the body is Melatonin. Epitalon’s antioxidant effects are thought to be in part due to its ability to stimulate Melatonin production as well as mechanisms other than through the action of Melatonin.

Epitalon reduced the number of spontaneous tumors and the number of metastases in mice that did develop spontaneous tumors in an experiment on one-year-old female C3H/He mice, and is speculated to have oncostatic and anti-metastatic properties.

In a study of chickens subjected to neonatal hypophysectomy and subsequent maturation, epitalon promoted the recovery of the morphological structures of the thymus, as well as the structure and function of the thyroid gland. Epitalon appears to increase the proliferation of lymphocytes in the thymus, putatively increasing production of interferon gamma by T-cells. Another study in aging rats demonstrated extension of life span for rats subjected to constant illumination or to a natural light regimen typical of northern regions.

Scientific studies in humans:

In human clinical studies, epitalon and epithalamin both significantly increased telomere lengths in the blood cells of patients of ages 60-65 and 75-80, and their efficacy was comparable to one another.

Epitalon and epithalamin appear to restore melatonin secretion by the pineal gland in both aged monkeys and humans.

A human clinical trial conducted on a sample of retinitis pigmentosa patients found that epitalon produced a positive clinical effect in 90% of cases in the treated group.

In another human clinical trial conducted on a sample of pulmonary tuberculosis patients, epitalon did not appear to correct pre-existing structural aberrations of chromosomes associated with telomere degradation, but did appear to exert a protective effect against the future development of additional chromosomal aberrations.

A human prospective cohort study conducted on a sample of 266 people over age 60 demonstrated that treatment with epithalamin, the pineal gland extract upon which epitalon is based, produced a 1.6–1.8-fold reduction in mortality during the following 6 years, a 2.5-fold reduction in mortality when combined with thymulin, and a 4.1-fold reduction in mortality when combined with thymulin and administered annually instead of only once at study onset.

Another prospective cohort study on a sample of 79 coronary patients spanning in excess of 12 years found improved metrics of physical endurance, circadian rhythm, and carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the treated group relative to the control group following 3 years of biannual epithalamin treatments, as well as a 50% lower rate of cardiovascular mortality, a 50% lower rate of cardiovascular failure and serious respiratory disease, and a 28% lower rate of overall mortality.

Elongation of telomeres by epitalon was sufficient to surpass the Hayflick limit in a cell culture of human fetal fibroblast cells, extending their proliferative potential from termination at the 34th passage in the control cell population to beyond the 44th passage in the treated cell population, while increasing the lengths of their telomeres to levels comparable to those of cells in the original culture.

Epitalon induces decondensation of heterochromatin near the centromeres in cultured lymphocytes originating from samples taken from humans of ages 76 to 80 years.

Epitalon appears to inhibit the synthesis of the MMP9 protein in vitro in aging skin fibroblasts.

EPITALON FAQ
What is Epitalon used for?
Epitalon is used for increase the natural production of telomerase, a natural enzyme that helps cells reproduce telomeres, which are the protective parts of our DNA. This ultimately leads to a slowing of the aging of cell populations, and the aging of cell populations correlate with the overall physical aging of an organism. However, epitalone can also be used to restore and normalize melatonin levels or to protect against cell oxidative stress.

Can Epitalon slow down aging?
Scientific research and performed clinical trials have demonstrated Epitalon slows the aging and has strong anti-aging properties.

Can Epitalon prevent cancer?
Yes, Epitalon has the ability to prevent cancer.

Can Epitalon improve sleep?
Yes, Epitalon supports and normalize production of Melatonin, which leads to a better and deeper sleep.

How do you administer Epitalon?
Epitalon is usually administered by intravenous, intramuscular or transdermal / subcutaneous (under the skin, through the skin) injection. Oral administration is not effective because the peptides are broken down / cleaved in the gastrointestinal tract. This means: They cannot pass through the gastrointestinal tract in functional and intact state, up to the bloodstream to exert their effects.

Where can I buy Epitalon?
We offer Epitalon of the highest purity for bargain price.

Does Epitalon have side effects?
Clinical trials to date have not shown any significant side, undesirable or toxic effects when Epitalon was used.

EPITALON DOSAGE
In the scientific studies and clinical trials performed, the optimal dose of Epitalon is often reported as 5 – 10 mg daily, over a period of 10-20 days. The frequency of administration is one injection per day at lower doses and two injections per day at higher doses, which may be divided between morning and evening. Each course of use should be followed by a pause of 4-6 months before the course is repeated

The Basics of Epitalon

What Is Epitalon?
Epitalon is a synthetic peptide made of four amino acids (alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and glycine), that is based on a natural peptide called epithalamin extracted from the pineal gland. It was synthesized by Vladimir Khavinson, a Russian professor and gerontologist, whose research focused on the development of peptide preparations used to restore function in various organs in order to prevent and reverse the aging process. He is currently the Director of the Saint Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology

Khavinson first extracted Epithalamin from the pineal gland of calves. However, due to the inherent limitations in production, he formulated a synthetic version of the peptide called Epitalon.

How Is Epitalon Used?
Epitalon is usually administered via intravenous or intramuscular injection or transdermally (through the skin), as peptides are broken down in the digestive tract and therefore unable to enter the bloodstream, where they can exert their effects, intact.

Although some results are promising, most of the research has been conducted in animals and cells, meaning that both the potential health benefits and safety profile of Epitalon remain largely unresearched. Never take Epitalon without consulting your doctor or use it as a replacement for approved medical therapies.

What the Research Shows for Epitalon

1) Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic, degenerative eye disease that results in the degeneration of the rods in the retina. Rods are one of two types of receptors in the eye (the other one being cones) that convert light into chemical signals that can be processed by the brain.In a clinical trial, Epitalon improved degenerative damage to the retina caused by this condition in 90% of the patients . In rats, Epitalon improves the function of retinal cells by preserving their structure and preventing degeneration .

A single study using humans and rats cannot be considered sufficient evidence to support this potential use of Epitalon. Further clinical research is needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

2) Correcting Circadian Rhythms
As we age, our circadian rhythms become disrupted and less pronounced, coinciding with decreased melatonin secretion and altered sleep cycles .

In a small trial on 14 elderly people, epithalamin improved melatonin production and altered its cycle and peak concentrations to resemble those of young people .

In aging monkeys, Epitalon stimulated evening melatonin secretion and reestablished the circadian rhythm, which is associated with cortisol release .

Again, only a small clinical trial and an animal study have tested this potential health benefit. Larger, more robust clinical trials are required.

Animal and Cell Research (Lack of Evidence):
No clinical evidence supports the use of Epitalon for any of the conditions listed in this section. Below is a summary of the existing animal and cell-based research, which should guide further investigational efforts. However, the studies listed should not be interpreted as supportive of any health benefit.

3) Increasing Lifespan
When the peptide was administered to fruit flies during the larval stage, it increased the average lifespan by 11-16 percent .

In a study on rats exposed to equal amounts of light and darkness, varying amounts of light and darkness, or permanent light illumination, Epitalon increased maximal lifespan in all three groups by 68 days, 95 days, and 24 days, respectively, in comparison to controls.

In mice with high blood pressure, injections of Epitalon did not affect the average lifespan of the mice but did increase the maximal lifespan by 12.3% .

Cell-based studies found that Epitalon increases telomerase activity. This enzyme adds more nucleotides to the protective sequences at the end of chromosomes (telomeres), thus allowing cells to divide and grow longer .

4) Increasing Enzyme Activity
A decrease in pancreatic enzymes has been shown to occur in elderly individuals . In both young and old rats, Epitalon increased the activity of enzymes that digest protein and sugar, with the effect being more pronounced in the older rats . Another study found that the peptide increased enzyme activity in the small intestine of aged rats [12].

5) Cancer
Below, we will discuss some preliminary research on the anticancer activity of Epitalon. It’s still in the animal stage and further clinical studies have yet to determine if this peptide is useful in cancer therapies. Do not under any circumstances attempt to replace conventional cancer therapies with Epitalon.

When Epitalon was given to rats with colon cancer, the peptide increased lymph flow (containing white blood cells) and apoptosis (programmed cell death), while it slowed cancer growth [13].

In mice with mammary tumors, Epitalon significantly decreased the number of mice with multiple tumors and decreased the maximum size of tumors in comparison to control mice [14]. The researchers also found that the peptide reduced the expression of certain genes that, when over-activated, play a key role in the development of breast cancer in both mice and humans.

Another study in mice found that treatment with Epitalon reduced the number of mice with malignant tumors (cancerous tumors) and prevented cancer from metastasizing (moving to another location in the body) in all of the treated mice. In contrast, metastases were observed in 3 out of the 9 mice that did not receive treatment with Epitalon .

Antioxidant Status
Oxidative stress, which occurs when the body has a deficit in antioxidants to counteract the effects of free radicals (damaging molecules that are missing electrons), plays a causative role in many diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and even neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases [16].

One of the most potent antioxidants produced by the human body (endogenous antioxidants) is melatonin [17].

Epitalon’s antioxidant effects are thought to be in part due to its ability to stimulate melatonin production as well as mechanisms other than through the action of melatonin [18].

In male rats, epithalamin increased total antioxidant capacity by 36% and superoxide dismutase (SOD, a powerful endogenous antioxidant) by 19% [19].

When epithalamin was incubated with blood taken from breast cancer patients, they showed increased activity of antioxidant enzymes and levels of antioxidative vitamins [20].

Conclusion
While some preclinical studies on Epitalon look promising, there is still a lot of research that needs to be conducted in healthy and diseased individuals. Epitalon has not been approved by the FDA but is available in supplements Talk to your doctor before taking Epitalon or any other supplements, especially if they have been insufficiently researched.

Fighting Off The Effects Of Aging The Epitalon Peptide

Composed of 4 amino acid chains Epitalon is a synthetic derivative of epithalamin and a potential modulator of telomerase, the enzyme that maintains and protects the telomere caps at the ends of chromosomes (strands of DNA). Research suggests that epithalon induces telomere elongation and may fight off the effects of aging as a result.

The Epitalon peptide has proven to not only produce a relatively large amount of new telomerase, they produce longer telomeres strands which are in the better cell health and replicate faster.

Introducing the Epitalon peptide into the body appears to stop the degeneration of the telomeres, which naturally happens and is one of the main reasons humans age and their health declines.

In the next article we will be investigating how Epitalon and another peptide play out a symbiotic role in regulating metabolism, increasing the sensitivity of hypothalamus to its natural hormonal levels, normalizing the function of the anterior pituitary and regulating the levels of gonadotropins and melatonin in the body.
