1 Research at Harvard Has Led to What May Be the Biggest Medical Discovery in 100 years! -- How to Protect Your Arteries (and More) for Less Than a Bottle of Lipitor You may have heard the saying: A person is as old as their arteries. It s a fairly accurate statement, but what can you actually DO about it-----keep checking your cholesterol and blood pressure? That s just watching and waiting, which is quite different from prevention. Stroke, heart attack, and heart failure are still the top causes of death in the industrialized world. Most conventional approaches to testing and treatment are designed for finding and addressing a disease process that has already taken hold. Due to restrictions imposed by insurance companies, testing is often inadequate. Because of big Pharma s takeover of health care, treatments are mostly drug-based. Patients are given multiple drugs to treat symptoms without really addressing the source of those symptoms. I am going to make a bold statement here, but one I believe to be true: It is impossible to experience healthy aging with drugs. The purpose of prevention is to slow down the aging of our arteries and avoid the complications of unhealthy aging. Blood vessels make up 14,000 sq. ft. of surface area in the body--about the size of 6 ½ tennis courts! So if inflammation is present in the arteries, it is not localized-----it affects everything. Several years ago, a type of gene called sirtuins (sir-too-ins) was identified, which when activated, can increase longevity by up to 60%. When these genes are turned on, they promote healthy, graceful, and slower aging. The most exciting thing about sirtuins is the leverage it gives us for preventing disease and experiencing healthy aging. Sirtuins, when activated, code your cells to suppress the mechanism behind not just heart disease, but also diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer s. So instead of trying to treat or prevent three or four serious degenerative diseases separately, treatment can be simplified into just one fundamental process that reaches farther upstream-----from a group of symptoms to a causative factor that they all share in common. Diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer s are all different expressions of the same cellular and genetic processes. If you know how to prevent one, you can prevent them all! 1

2 Here s an impressive list of nutrients and herbs that activate sirtuin genes and effectively improve artery health, and help to silence disease-promoting genes. Resveratrol that stuff in red wine that experts say can keep your heart healthy. One would need to consume 20 liters of red wine daily for a therapeutic dose of resveratrol. CoQ-10 increases survival and energetics of the cells. Acetyl-L Carnitine Green Tea Contains ECGC, which blocks LDL cholesterol Vitamins K-2 and K-7 Olive Leaf Extract Improves insulin sensitivity for slower aging/keeping blood sugar normalized. Quercitin Gingko biloba Lutein Lycopene Solution: Try a Chinese herb called Polygonum cuspidatum, which is high in the more active form of resveratrol. Only trans-resveratrol can activate the sirtuin gene; the purest form is needed for this effect to take place. Body aging is related to aging of the cells Combined with R-lipoic acid for cell energetics helps rid the body of cancerous cells. Increases lean muscle mass..from Natto (from fermented soy beans) modulates LDL cholesterol to keep from oxidizing (oxidation is what leads to plaquing in the arteries). Provides very potent artery protection. Places the body in survival mode to protect cells and organs. Slows down aging. Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Optimal dose is between mg/day in the transresveratrol form. Ideal dose is about 200 mg/day. lowers blood pressure and blood sugar, reduces vascular disease Green Tea is considered to be cardio-protective pulls calcium and plaque out of the arteries. lowers cholesterol lowers blood pressure reduces metabolism of transresveratrol, making it active in the body longer Improves blood vessel function increases oxygenation from green, leafy vegetables such as kale) (from tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables) Can lower blood pressure as effectively as medications do. 2

3 Vitamin D3 Lowers risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease Magnesium L-Arginine EPA/DHA from fish oil. Turmeric Root This is the yellow herb in curry. Boswellia Prevents cancer, osteoporosis, and many other disorders 80% of the population is deficient in this mineral needed for the body to make nitric oxide, a potent blood vessel dilator helps control blood sugar and lower inflammation anti-cancer properties, supports liver and gallbladder function the tree resin also known as Frankincense Ideal dose is 8000 IU/day; body makes even more from 1 hour of sunshine, so 8000 IU is not an overdose Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxant, helping to lower blood pressure helps protect brain cells, and many other benefits a powerful anti-inflammatory commonly used as an antiinflammatory in arthritis Propolis found in bee hives anti-tumor and immune enhancing substance Ginger Improves circulation and reduces inflammation countless medicinal uses Rosemary Extract potent antioxidant lowers risk of strokes and neurodegenerative disease Celery Seed has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine antioxidant that also lowers blood pressure Lentil husks provides immune support anti-cancer activity Black pepper increases absorption of turmeric by up to 2000x Note: Some of the above information on sirtuins was transcribed from an interview with Dr. Mark Houston, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical School, Medical Director at the Hypertension & Vascular Biology Institute, and Life Extension Institute & Medical Center. He is also the editor-in-chief of the JANA, a leading journal of Neutriceutical Technology and Research. He specializes in clinical hypertension, lipid disorders, and prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, nutrition, and clinical age management. I highly recommend his book, What your Doctor May Not Tell You about Hypertension. A wise healer uses that which works, is Dr. Houston s philosophy. 3

4 So where can you find these sirtuin activating ingredients all in one place? If you were to buy each ingredient separately, this particular program would be outrageously expensive----about $350 from commercial sources like GNC. I have compared and cross-referenced many different formulas in order to come up with a combination that requires a minimal number of bottles, while still delivering the correct amounts of Vitamin D3, CoQ10, a complete vitamin E complex (hard to find), R-lipoic acid (also hard to find), and many other key nutrients in combination. These (3) formulas by Biotics Research include all the ingredients in the chart above: EFA-Sirt Supreme. Product #1412 (180 capsules) $59. Supplies a unique, highly-concentrated essential fatty acid blend, providing an extremely effective combination of EPA, DHA and GLA, with all natural mixed tocopherols, specially formulated to be high in gamma-tocopherol. Formulated by cardiologist Mark Houston, MD. [2 capsules/day = 90-day supply] VasculoSirt. Product #2925 (300 capsules) $125. A state of the art product providing comprehensive support for healthy cardiovascular function. Formulated by cardiologist Mark Houston, MD. [4 capsules, 2x/day = 37.5-day supply] KappArest. Product #7855 (180 capsules) $40. A proprietary formula designed to downregulate inflammatory pathways, primarily through the inhibition of NF-kappaB, a molecule inside each cell. [3 capsules/day = 60 day supply] The cost for this sirtuin-activating package is $224 (averages $140/month). However, if you call us to place your order, and mention this report, I will send you a 2-month s supply of KappArest for FREE!!! You save $40! Just call us at and the friendly folks at Biotics Research will ship your order and bill my account for the freight charges ($9). Delivery is usually within 1-2 days by UPS. If $224 (or $140 average per month) for this program seems expensive, just look at it this way. Many of the ingredients in these three products are more effective than pharmaceutical medications. What s the difference? (keep reading ) 4

5 Pharmaceutical Drugs Don t necessarily promote healthy aging Much more expensive Many prescription drugs are marked up as much as 80,000%! Example: Retail price for a 20mg bottle of Lipitor is $272. The cost of the active ingredients is $5.80. Cause many side effects Example: Lipitor is a drug that not only shuts down cholesterol production, but vitamin D as well. Long-term effects can include damage to muscle (including the heart). Neutriceuticals Change cell physiology to improve health and slow down the aging process Priced in the same retail structure as food Pharmaceutical-grade (i.e., what the label says is actually what is in the bottle). The FDA regulates these products and all raw materials are tested for purity. These products are CLEAN, unlike most commercially available supplements. I d like to emphasize how important it is to first address any sources of inflammation in order for this program to be effective. Be sure to screen for any hidden infections, long-term stress, and food sensitivities (gluten is a very common one). Make sure your diet is conducive to healthy blood sugar and low inflammation. I have attached a diet plan that you can follow as a guide. Discount packages for lab tests are available; all you have to do is ask! I will be happy to interpret your lab work and create a customized game plan to help you make the necessary changes happen. 5

6 There are some very useful lab tests for genes. However, they are expensive and do not indicate whether the gene is expressing in your body. One can have genes tested that reveal risk for heart disease, Alzheimer s, stroke, cancer, etc. Alternatively, I use a panel of routine lab tests to check for expressions of genes and potential sources of trouble years ahead of the first symptom-----all at a much lower cost. Examples of these lab tests are: homocysteine, cholesterol, triglycerides, and most of the tests in a standard blood chemistry panel. Call or my office if you want more information about lab tests. I will be happy to send you a guide to your blood tests, what they mean, and how to get a moneysaving, health-promoting package of tests that you can actually do something with. I have spent the past 15 years learning how to order, interpret, and squeeze the most out of lab tests it s up to you to take the first step.
