Dr. Bruce Ames, of the University of California-Berkley, began investigating the problem in the late 1990s, and the results are encouraging. Dr Ames was interviewed in 2011 in Life Extension Magazine, and shared his exciting results.

Apparently, the same combination of antioxidant nutrients that are so important in the treatment of type II diabetes are equally important to stop and reverse oxidative damage at the mitochondrial level.

Acetyl l-Carnetine and Alpha Lipoic acid, when taken together, allow old rats with mitochondrial damage to display healing changes where these mitochondria begin to look more like the mitochondria of younger rats. As a result, the old rats displayed more energy and better memory. Preliminary human trials are suggesting that this combination of antioxidants has the same effect on people.

For those of us who are getting older, that’s very good news.

Acetyl l-Carnetine & Alpha Lipoic Acid can be found under Specialty Products and on the Preventics order forms.

I started taking this product years ago because the research shows that it helps the liver with its task of detoxification. So, along with being a primary support for type II diabetics and a major player in helping the body deal with a toxic environment, it now also helps rejuvenate the mitochondria, resulting in increased energy and improved memory… and at Preventics prices, it’s cheap.

When you age, you generally decrease your physical activity and metabolism. Unless caloric intake is also decreased, the end result is obesity, which in itself increases the risk to cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes, etc. With reduced caloric intake, supplementation is vital in order for you to get adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals with the decreased amount of food. This becomes even more important when, according to the latest scientific literature, you can’t get the recommended daily amounts (RDAs) of many essential nutrients at normal caloric intake levels.

To address these problems, I have established a basic vitamin and mineral supplemental program that I feel offers optimal support for various age groups based on what is known about decreased metabolism and increased micro-nutrient needs. Some people with increased vitamin and mineral needs brought about by chronic illness require additional amounts of very specific nutrients added to this basic program. However, people of average health do very well on a good basic supplemental program, with emphasis on anti-oxidants (anti-aging vitamins) like Vitamin C and Vitamin E, such as that found in the Basic Self-Help Supplement Program chart.

The scientific literature is emphasizing that as we get older, we need continually increasing amounts of virtually all of the essential micronutrients. This area of research is now called anti-aging medicine. It is getting a lot of attention because so much can be done inexpensively to produce remarkable results, and you the public, are demanding it.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

I hope you post my story, I have bored all my friends with it so I might as well bore you too!

Thanks for making me well.

My story is for those wondering if the NAET system with Dr. David is for you. I have a family health history of diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, heart disease, emphysema and yearly weight gain. I exercised, took supplements and ate right but the problems started anyway – just like the rest of my family. I took allergy and asthma medication but each year I would have to try a new drug because the old one simply stopped working. Soon I was taking 90 pills a month and carrying an inhaler. The last straw was when I had to stop having a glass of wine with my dinner. After drinking half of the glass my face would turn red, my throat would get scratchy and I would have a headache for the rest of the night.

My friend Karen told me about Dr. David and I made an appointment the next week. The treatments seemed so easy (slight pressure down the spine three times) I didn’t think it could possibly work…but it did! I knew going in that I would need a number of treatments and that the more items I cleared the more sensitive I would become to the remaining allergens…especially my cat! I was much better after the basics and started reducing my medication immediately. I was very tired after the first treatments so I only scheduled appointments when I could go home and take a nap. That was my only side effect and it didn’t happen every time.

Today I am allergy free. I have discontinued my prescriptions but I still go to the pulmonologist for my annual checkups. He tells me to keep up the good work — but he doesn’t know that I have not taken any of my medication for 9 months nor have I used my inhaler in over a year! I have saved at least $80.00 per month on those prescriptions and am not on a downward health spiral.

If you have questions about what I experienced feel free to contact me at (913) 381-3147 I love to talk about myself.

Fact: The ‘heat engine’ calorie theory was disproved over a hundred years ago even though most nutritionists and doctors today still think it’s valid. Unfortunately you are not a heat engine, burning everything like coal in a furnace. Food is not only used to produce energy, but also to reproduce you. Every two years you reproduce a new body, that’s a new liver, pancreas, brain, lungs, etc. Some organs reproduce themselves much more quickly. For instance, the digestive tract replaces itself every 10 days to 2 weeks. Food is needed to provide genuine replacement parts – muscles, enzymes, organs, antibodies, etc. – not merely the generation of energy. A fairer comparison would be to compare your body to a chemical factory. Calories are only the measure of potential energy but do not consider what that particular food may be used for by your body beside producing energy, for example as a genuine replacement part.

Fact: In April of 2003, Harvard University found people on a low carbohydrate diet could eat 25,000 more calories over a 12 week study than those on a high carbohydrate (low fat) diet with no weight gain. Astonishing perhaps, but only if you think your body is a ‘heat engine.’ So by now you are figuring me out, and hopefully coming to the obvious conclusion that all foods are not utilized by your body in the same way. Unfortunately, politics and opinion have replaced science in the fields of human health and nutrition, and doctors and nutritionists still quote the ‘calorie theory’ as if it were gospel.

Fact: Portion control is only a small player in the attempt to bring weight under control and then maintain that healthy weight. Eating the wrong foods will make you fat, tired, irritable, hungry all the time, and eventually sick. Eating the right foods allows the body to lose weight efficiently, become more energetic, have more stable moods, and contributes to regaining your health.

Fact: Almost every patient that presents in my office is addicted to carbohydrates. All carbohydrates break down to sugar, and sugar is killing more people in the industrialized world than the other two deadly white powders, cocaine and heroine combined. On the latter you die with a syringe in your arm, and on the former you die of the ravages of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. I appreciate my addicted patients because I used to be one myself. To break the addiction takes a little knowledge, a lot of desire, and an intelligent diet loaded with genuine replacement parts.

Fact: Your body must have genuine replacement parts. Genuine replacement parts are proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. These are considered essential. Without the right amount of each in the correct balance, we become sick and eventually die. There are no essential carbohydrates.

I told you about the importance of protein in the February 2009 Newsletter. The article was entitled Protein Is Our Most Misunderstood Food.

I told you about the importance of fat in the March 2009 Newsletter. The article was entitled The Importance Of Fat… And The Misinformation Surrounding It.

I told you about the comparative unimportance of carbohydrates in the April 2009 Newsletter in an article entitled Carbohydrates, the Third Article In A Series On Eating A Healthy Diet.

I suggest you access the above articles, copy them and put them in a notebook. If you follow these instructions you will begin to break your sugar addiction and start on a path to better health.

Since the advent of the high carbohydrate diet (also called the low fat diet), all the sugar related diseases have increased significantly, overweight is epidemic, and the food processors and food manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank. Protein and fat are both essential, as are vitamins and minerals. There are no essential carbohydrates.

When you limit packaged and processed foods (pasta is a good example), weight control becomes less of a dilemma. Eating locally grown foods in season makes staying trim a much easier task. My nurse/receptionist has told me I need to let everyone know that I was green before green was fashionable — actually, forty years before green was fashionable, but eating smart really hasn’t changed, you just have to ignore the nonsense in the media, paid for by the same agribusiness and food producing interests that are making all of us sick. I often tell my patients, “If you see it advertized on TV, don’t eat it.”

In the next issue, I’ll talk to you about the fallacy of counting calories. That’s going to put holes in a lot of balloons.

Update: Eat Your Way Thin… Here are the four articles which are in the series.

• Part 1 – Protein Is Our Most Misunderstood Food
• Part 2 – The Importance Of Fat… And The Misinformation Surrounding It
• Part 3 – Carbohydrates
• Part 4 – Let’s Talk About Weight Loss

The research is still new because these drugs are relatively new. As time passes, more cases are reported and the numbers escalate. Unfortunately, at present, most dentists don’t recognize this condition for what it is, and therefore, it continues to go under reported. The patients under most serious risk are cancer patients who are on large amounts of these drugs to reduce the risk of cancer spreading to bone. The percentage of those patients experiencing jawbone rot is significant.

This headline created a perfect opportunity for me to introduce my next major article, my first on a healthy diet for your family. Dietary protein protects against osteoporosis, in most cases negating the need for biphosphonate drugs, and even acts as protection against cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. You will discover how this works over the next six to twelve months as I explain how your body uses protein, fat, and carbohydrate to produce health or disease.

The authors tell us for the first time in history our children may have a lower life expectancy than their parents. They put the primary blame on Metabolic Syndrome and Type II Diabetes, both diseases caused by poor dietary and lifestyle choices.

Wow! Maybe the SAD (Standard American Diet) isn’t so healthy after all, and all those simple carbohydrates (sugar) really are killing us.

Please take this research seriously.
