Life Extension For The Heart
Another weapon against aging is CoQ10, dubbed "Heart Energy." A heart patient given two weeks to live took it in a study at the Hospital of Rehabilitation in Bornheim-Merton, Germany. In five weeks her heart improved dramatically. She is very active six years later.
CoQ10 is an essential nutrient that supplies the biochemical `spark' that creates cellular energy", says Doctor Emile G. Bliznak, president of the Lupus Research Institute and author of a book on CoQ10. He reports: "Without it various mechanisms in the body begin to fail, exposing us to a host of major medical problems."
Besides working miracles for heart patients, CoQ10 is used successfully to treat gum disease, revitalize muscles of muscular dystrophy victims, lower blood pressure & bolster the immune system, possibly even preventing cancer. Dr. Per Langsjoen of Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Texas, reports: "patients, steadily worsening and expected to die within two years under conventional therapy, generally showed an extraordinary clinical improvement, indicating that CoQ10 therapy might extend the lives of such patients."
"CoQ10 is involved in energy conversion in the body," explains Dr. Frederick Crane, a biochemist from Purdue University who is credited with its discovery. "With low levels of the substance, muscles won't function properly, nerve impulses from the brain slow down, the activity of all body organs slow down".
Studies show boosting daily levels of CoQ10 by at least 30 Mg. can reverse disease dramatically.
A seven year study of severely ill heart patients showed that 75% of CoQ10 recipients survived for three years or more with major problems of congestive heart failure while only 25% of similar patients survived without it. "This is really a very important enzyme to the body", Dr. Crane said. "It's very useful, very exciting and we still don't know all the possible uses."
Dr. Tanya Simuni, Director of the Parkinson's Disease and
Movement Disorder Center at Northwestern University, reports on the promising
results of clinical trials going on across the country looking at CoQ10
to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.

For Healthy Skin, To protect against intestinal parasites and prevent Heart Attacks. It is essential to the formation of red blood cells and the division of body cells. Due to all the hype, we gave Folic Acid little space. Those interested, should see the AMA's report on its ability to protect chromosomes, promote Healthy Skin, protect against intestinal parasites and prevent Heart Attacks. The AMA confirmed Atherosclerosis can be prevented by Folic Acid and studies show Folic Acid can prevent Spina Bifida. Research released 4/27/98 reveals Alzheimer's may be prevented by Folic Acid. People over 50 need 800 mcg+ of Folic Acid daily.
NOTE: Folic Acid alone can mask a B-12 deficiency. It must be "Balanced" with B-12. (Each tablet of Life Extension's Folic Acid contains 800 Mcg. Folic Acid and 300 Mcg. of B-12.) This formula also absorbs better and greatly improves cognitive function in the elderly.

Effect On PG's And Health
PG’s
(prostaglandins) are a family of hormone-like compounds that control every organ
in the body. The body does not store PG’s. The complex molecules are made as
needed, but their life is short due to digestive enzymes. Gammalen is essential
to good health because it is needed to make more PG’s!
We
must supplement our supply of PG’s because they control essential bodily
functions like heart attacks, asthma, allergies, blood pressure, arthritis,
menstrual cramps, migraine headaches, fertility, glaucoma and possibly even
cancer.
Gammalen®
from Evening Of Primrose Oil, has the ability to alleviate heart attacks,
asthma, allergies, blood pressure, arthritis, menstrual cramps, migraine
headaches, fertility, and glaucoma because they are all
controlled by PG’s which are controlled by Gammalen.
RESEARCH:
Cancer and Nutritional Expert, Richard Passwater, Ph.D. reports: “it
slowed the growth of breast cancer; reduced
the risk of thrombosis; prevented the
development of arthritis; lowered cholesterol and blood pressure;
healed eczema; tear production; PMS; slowed progression
of multiple sclerosis; improved acne; alleviated hangovers and
calmed hyperactive children.”
Studies
verify Gammalen’s ability enable the body to make all the PG's needed for good
health.
Dr. Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D., author of Cancer and Nutritional Therapies, reports on tests where Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) has: lowered weight without dieting; lowered cholesterol; lowered blood pressure; healed or improved eczema; stopped rheumatoid arthritis in moderate cases; normalized saliva and tear production; relieved premenstrual tension; slowed progression of multiple sclerosis; improved acne when taken with zinc; improved behavior of hyperactive children; alleviated hangovers.
Physicians should not confuse GLA with the common form of Linolenic acid which is ineffective.
GLA (or Gammalen®) is essential to good health because it is needed for the body to make a family of hormone-like compounds (PGs) that control every organ in the body; especially the heart, skin and immune system. A shortage of PGs which is due to GLA deficiency, results in impaired health. The extra GLA taken in Gammalen™ pill form enables the body to make all the PG's needed for health.
Dr. Passwater reports that in tests with laboratory animals GLA: slowed the growth of breast cancer; reduced the risk of thrombosis; prevented the development of arthritis.
PGs are not stored. Every tissue makes PG as needed. Seemingly unrelated disorders such as heart attacks, asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, arthritis, menstrual cramps, migraine headaches, fertility, and glaucoma are all controlled by PGs which in turn are controlled by the amount of GLA in the body.
Life Extension's GAMMALEN®
Scientists have found that Gammalen™ can help alleviate many health problems, because of its ability to enable the body to produce PG's.

About Melatonin
Not JUST For Sleep! 15 more "papers" on Melatonin, were presented at the Stromboli Conference on Aging & Cancer. They are available in the New York Academy of Sciences Volume 719, book of Scientific papers.
They confirm that Melatonin is lost through aging; is vital to sleep patterns; is an anti-cancer hormone (its role in preventing breast cancer is well documented, now there is evidence it is also effective on prostate cancer); and is a catalyst in extending life span.
Doctors should read them. Space restricts this report to a few quotes from but a few of the papers.
"Not only does Melatonin production decline clinically with age, but administration of Melatonin or the implantation of pineal tissue from young donors prolongs both median and absolute survival times of older mice." L. N. Edmonds Jr. University of New York, Division of Biological Sciences: "Clocks, Cell Cycles Cancer and Aging."
"Aging itself may relate to accumulated damage to cells as a consequence of oxidative stress.... its beneficial effects in the prevention of many diseases must be considered. Melatonin's important actions as antioxidant may be its primary significance as well as the basis of its evolution". R. J. Retire, et al. Department of Cellular Biology, University of Texas Health Center: "Melatonin as an Antioxidant".
"Melatonin exerts direct and indirect beneficial effects in delaying developmental and aging process. Because similar effects are elicited by dietary restriction, it may be assumed that the anti-aging effects of food restriction are mediated by an increased formation of Melatonin levels in experimental animals and maybe also in human subjects. Indeed, food restriction causes an elevation of circulating Melatonin". Gerald Huether, Psychiatrische Universitasklinik, Gottingen, Germany: "Melatonin & The Gastrointestinal Tract".
"Melatonin, the main hormone of the pineal gland, when chronically injected into young mice or mice immunosuppressed by aging or by cyclophosphamide treatment, was able to enhance the antibody response to a T-dependent antigen. The enhancement of T helper cell activity and IL-2 production as evidenced in mice immunosuppressed by aging or by cyclophosphamide treatment. These observations suggest that Melatonin may be successfully used in the therapy of immunosuppressive conditions". M. C. Caroleo, Chair of Pharmacology, Department of Biology, University of Rome: "Melatonin Restores Immunosuppression on Aged and Cyclophosphyamide-Treated Mice."
Life Extension's
Melatonin
There are over 5000 studies on Melatonin's ability to prevent and treat cancer, and/or extend life span, published; and 2000 more being published yearly. Melatonin should only be taken at night just prior to sleep. To take it any other time is to waste it. Each capsule of Life Extension Melatonin contains 3 Mg. of pure “Pharmaceutical Grade” Melatonin. Most Melatonin available, is not “Pharmaceutical Grade”.

WHAT IS IT ? By definition, Colloidal Silver is a suspension of microscopic particles (in the range of 0.005 - 0.010 microns in diameter) of 0.999 pure silver, as a colloidal substance, either mycellas or electromagnetically charged and suspended in distilled water. True Colloid of Silver will stay in suspension, and will kill virtually any virus, germ, parasite, fungus or bacteria that may exist in a living entity. In point of fact, no disease causing organism, known to man, can live in the presence of these microscopic particles of Silver.
HOW DOES IT WORK ? All single cell micro organisms (like all other living organic structures) have to breath. Viruses, germs and other single celled organisms do this through their equivalent of a lung. The microscopic particles of silver clog these chemical lungs, suffocating and eventually killing (usually in less than ten minutes) the invasive micro organism .
It was discovered over eight thousand years ago by Chinese Alchemists, that silver would cure many diseases, although they did not understand exactly by what procedure. In this Country, and in Europe, doctors successfully used silver (although in crude mixtures) as a very effective bactericide, well into the 1930's. Once the Medical Establishment discovered penicillin and subsequent antibiotics, the interest in pursuing and refining the use of silver, and subsequently a wonderful opportunity, was lost.
It is interesting to note that today more and more of the disease causing viruses and other micro organisms are resistant to penicillin , and many other "NEW " Antibiotics. As fast as we invent a new state of the art Antibiotic, a strain of the disease we are treating with it becomes resistant. Not so with Silver. Science Digest in their often quoted article "SILVER, OUR MIGHTIEST GERM FIGHTER" states: "Silver is an antibiotic, Silver kills over 650 disease causing organisms; resistant strains fail to develop."
In "THE BODY ELECTRIC" Dr. Robert Becker, examining low levels of silver in the tissue of chronically ill patients who suffered frequently from the flu and persistent colds, explained that: "Silver deficiency was responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system, and silver does more than just kill disease causing organisms; it was also causing major growth stimulation of injured tissue."
Colloidal
Silver is a suspension of microscopic pure silver, in a colloidal substance. It
will kill virtually any virus, germ, parasite, fungus or bacteria that may exist
in a living entity.
PROTOCOL: Dr. Robert Becker, examining low levels of silver in the tissue of chronically ill patients suffering from frequent, persistent colds, found:“Silver deficiency is responsible for improper functioning of the immune system. It does more than just kill disease causing organisms; it also causes major growth stimulation of injured tissue.” In fact, no disease causing organism known to man can live in the presence of these microscopic particles of Silver.
All single cell microorganisms (like all other living organic structures) have to breathe. Viruses, germs and other single celled organisms do this through their equivalent of a lung. The microscopic particles of silver clog these chemical lungs, suffocating and eventually killing the invasive microorganism.
In Europe, doctors successfully used silver in crude mixtures, as an effective bactericide in the 1930’s. But once penicillin and subsequent antibiotics were discovered, the interest in pursuing the use of silver faded.
More of the disease causing viruses and other micro organisms are resistant to penicillin and many other “new” Antibiotics.
As fast as we discover a new state of the art Antibiotic, a strain of the disease we are treating with it becomes resistant. Not so with Silver. Science Digest in their article “Silver, Our Mightiest Germ Fighter” states: “Silver is an antibiotic. It kills over 650 disease causing organisms. Resistant strains fail to develop."
Antibiotics
need to be continued for a specific period to prevent a reoccurrence of the
illness due to a resistant strain developing. Since viruses and other
microorganisms do not become resistant to silver, there is no need to take it
for a specific period of time, as you would penicillin.
But
is wise to take silver for a day or two after you’re feeling better, to make
sure you’ve gotten them all. Many people who suffer frequently from colds,
etc. take a few drops every few days just for maintenance.
Very extensive research concludes 30ppm. “parts per million” is the best concentration of silver for most situations.
However, there are times when a resistant virus or infection will only respond to a very strong solution of silver. For such need, there is now a 500ppm. strength Colloidal Silver for resistant virus ’and infections.

For Persistent Infections
For those who truly need it, 500 ppm colloidal silver
The
experts agree! Colloidal Silver is perhaps the greatest agent in the
fight against viruses, germs, toxins and industrial poisons. Just a few quotes
to re-enforce ‘some’ facts:
Science Digest:
“Antibiotics
kill perhaps a half dozen different disease
organisms, but silver kills some 650.
Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover,
silver is virtually non toxic.”
Dr. Robert 0. Becker of
Syracuse University: "All of the organisms
that we tested were sensitive to the
electrically generated silver ion, including some
that were resistant to all known
antibiotics... In no case were any undesirable
side effects of the silver treatment
apparent.”
Afred Searle, Monsanto:
“Applying colloidal silver to human
subjects has been done in a large number
of cases with astonishingly successful results.
For internal administration ... it has the
advantage of being rapidly fatal to
pathogens without toxic action on its host.
It is quite stable.”
Even In Biological Warfare: Former CIA microbiologist Larry Harris, reports that colloidal silver is effective against multiple disease-causing pathogenic microorganisms, including anthrax, diphtheria, influenza, whooping cough, and typhoid. In fact, it appears to be nature's most powerful antibiotic.
Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, M.D. of Johns Hopkins, like so many other researchers, believes the potential of colloidal silver is just beginning to be discovered. Unlike antibiotics which are specific only to bacteria, Colloidal Silver has a positive charge which enables it to attach itself electrically to certain enzymes needed by anaerobic (bad) bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and fungus resulting in the destruction of these enzymes. Further indication is that these bacteria cannot develop a resistance to silver, as they do with antibiotics, because silver attacks their food source.
The scientific literature
attesting to the fact that “No microorganism ever
tested has been able to stay alive for
more than six minutes when exposed directly
to colloidal silver." is very extensive and
compelling.
BUT
HOW MUCH SILVER?
WHAT PPM?
However,
it is now known that when particles of silver are fine enough to stay suspended,
and not large enough to lodge in a cell, as is fine ‘pure’ colloidal silver,
it cannot cause this condition. There has never been a single case
of argyria produced from electro-colloidal silver.
All the toxicological data is on silver
salts and silver proteins with much higher silver content than electro colloidal
silver. Besides the potential of being harmful, silver salts and silver
proteins cannot produce the same results.
What PPM of Colloidal Silver too strong? It was previously believed that high concentrations of silver can not only cause Argyria, but can even be less beneficial by interfering with beneficial bacteria. New research cleared up this misconception. We now know that when the body is fighting a virus and/or infection, colloidal silver will not interfere with beneficial bacteria. This is true of silver proteins and silver salts, but small doses of "true" colloidal silver is non-toxic, and in cases of resistant infections or strains, it may well be necessary.
What
maximum concentration of silver can SAFELY be taken?
Tests were conducted to estimate the body's ability to eliminate silver. This is critical to understanding what dosage is toxic, because the body's ‘ability’ to eliminate silver, must exceed how fast silver is consumed.
What is toxic to
humans? Depending on the frequency of administration, if a 150
Lb. adult were to ingest ten grams of SILVER NITRATE (ten grams = 10,000
Mg. of silver, which equates to ingesting 1000 liters or 1,060
quarts of 10 ppm silver) it would be toxic and possibility even lethal. Silver
Nitrate, silver proteins and silver salts are not recommended !
But even if ingesting them in these quantities, the risk of toxicity may be
reduced by spreading the intake out over a period of time to allow the excretion
mechanisms to keep up with intake.
Mg.
vs. ppm
Many people are
confused by directions on silver products. Some give it in milligrams and some
in parts per million (ppm). 1 Mg. equates to approximately 1 ppm of silver
suspended in 1 liter (1.06 quarts) of pure water. Thus, 10 ppm colloidal silver
contains 10 mg of silver in that same amount of water, 20 ppm = 20 mg., 30 ppm
=, 30 Mg. etc.
Research
at Columbia University confirms adults can easily consume 400 Mg. of
silver per day. Up to 500 ppm of pure colloidal silver is well tolerated,
especially when the treatment is spread over several days.

Pycnogenol®, Proanthocyanidins, Aging & Disease
Pycnogenol® is the Registered trademark of Horphag Research Ltd. It is their name for a product that contains a high concentration of a special group of bioflavonoids "Proanthocyanidins" which are extracted from grape seeds (the highest concentration and the source most used in research) and the bark of pine trees. Proanthocyanidins are the most powerful antioxidants ever discovered. They are extremely bioavailable and water soluble.
Research conducted at the University School of Medicine in Nagasaki, demonstrated conclusively that Pycnogenol® absorbs the free radicals that damage the body's Cells, DNA and Proteins, 50 times more effectively than vitamin E, which became famous for its ability to neutralize free radicals in cell membranes, when it was first discovered.
In other studies involving vitamin C, it was found that Pycnogenol® was not only 20 times more effective in eliminating free radicals, but this special group of bioflavonoids actually increases vitamin C's ability to absorb free radicals in the blood stream, thus protecting blood vessels and membranes from deterioration. This enables Pycnogenol® working with vitamin C to actually restore permeability to the blood system's all important capillaries, as well to strengthen their membranes.
This is important because aging, and degenerative diseases, results in brittleness or decay of the capillaries and arteries that provide the nourishment we need to keep our bodies functioning. The permeability afforded by Pycnogenol® permits all the nutrients, and very importantly Oxygen, to pass through the capillaries and reach all of the body's cells, which are actively producing carbon dioxide and other toxic matter as they metabolize. This cellular waste may now be transported out through the cell's membranes, on through the now permeable membranes of the capillaries.
This all important exchange of wastes and nutrients is best understood as the result of an experiment conducted at The Rockerfeller Institute for Medical Research, by Dr. Alexis Carrell, in which heart tissue from a chicken embryo was placed in a solution containing all the nutrients necessary to sustain life. The tissue cells absorbed the nutrients and, as do all living cells, produced waste matter.
By changing the solution every day (thereby eliminating the waste matter and replacing the nutrients) the cells lived for 29 years. They died when a Lab assistant forgot to change the solution. Upon analyzing the results of the experiment, Dr. Carrell remarked: "The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats which degenerates. Renew this fluid at intervals, give the cell something on which to feed and, so far as we know, the pulsation of life may go on forever."
Pycnogenol® is very beneficial to the capillary system, which is absolutely vital to the exchange of waste and nutrients (which can only occur through the capillaries) making the proper operation of them one of the most important keys to health and longevity.
Cells that are damaged by free radicals, or by the inability to eliminate toxic waste matter, age and die. As the number of dying cells begin to outnumber new cell production, the aging process itself accelerates, eventually leading to death.
Pycnogenol's ability, not only to dramatically reduce cell damage caused by free radicals, but at the same time to enhance the critical exchange of nutrients and toxic waste, and to protect and slow the aging process of our cells, ultimately results in cellular regeneration, vitality, overall restoration of energy, and longevity.
Many Scientists now agree with Dr. Carrell's observation of cell immortality, and claim that if the cellular exchange of nutrients and removal of waste was to continue unimpaired, human life span would average well beyond 150 years.
In addition to its remarkable ability to absorb free radicals and slow aging, Pycnogenol® is beneficial to the human body in many other ways. It is very beneficial to heart patients; it aids greatly in protecting vision by restoring the integrity of the capillaries in the retina resulting in the reduction of micro capillary bleeding and improved eyesight; it is very helpful in the treatment of varicose veins and edema in the legs; it helps protect us from circulatory related ailments and stroke, and it can even make us look better by repairing and protecting collagen.
It does this by absorbing the enzymes, as well as the free radicals, that destroy collagen. Pycnogenol® works with vitamin C and restores the skin's former youthful elasticity and smoothness by actually binding with collagen.
The ability of Pycnogenol® to enhance the vital exchange of nutrients and waste matter, enable it to protect and vitalize our 75,000 miles of blood vessels, including the endothelial cells which line the inner surface of our arteries.
It is believed by many Research Scientists that Atherosclerosis is caused by the thickening of this inner lining, due to the buildup of fibrous, LDL cholesterol, decayed muscle cells and calcium. This "plaque" inhibits circulation and greatly reduces the vital exchange of nutrients and waste matter, so necessary for the proper function of the heart and vascular system.
Pycnogenol® reduces, and avoids future accumulation of plaque, and restores the flexibility to the arteries by enhancing the exchange of nutrients and plaque thereby repairing the endothelial lining.
The ability of Pycnogenol® to protect and enhance capillary action enhances our longevity, helps protect us from circulatory related ailments and stroke.
Pycnogenol® also has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. This ability enables Pycnogenol® to not only improve blood circulation in the brain, but also to greatly improve brain cell nourishment and the removal of waste from our brain cells, resulting in improved mental function and memory, as well as reduced risk of senility.
"The amount of antioxidants that you maintain in your body is directly proportional to how long you will live." Dr. Richard Cutler, Director Of Anti Aging Research, US National Institute Of Health.
We take Pycnogenol® to get the Proanthocyanidins it contains, because Proanthocyanidins are the most powerful antioxidants ever discovered. Why "Full Spectrum" Pycnogenol® ? Because most Pycnogenol® products contain either the Pine Bark or Grape Seed Extract. Life Extension's Full Spectrum Pycnogenol® contains all the naturally rich sources of Proanthocyanidins. It contains more Proanthocyanidins. Full Spectrum Pycnogenol® also contains Quercetin to enable your body to better assimilate the benefits of this amazing product.
The word: “Pycnogenol®” is Horphag Research’s registered trademark for the “Proanthocyanidins” it extracts from pine bark and/or grape seeds and sells under that name.
For any “Proanthocyanidins” product to contain the word “Pycnogenol®” on the label it must contain some of Horphag’s Proanthocyanidins, in order to use the word “Pycnogenol®” which is owned by Horphag Research.
Each 140 Mg. capsule of Full Spectrum Pycnogenol®, for example, contains 5 Mg. of Horphag’s Pycnogenol®, in addition to Life Extension’s own sources of high potency Proanthocyanidins: 100 Mg. grape seed extract; 30 Mg. of 4:1 pine bark extract. Full Spectrum Pycnogenol® also contains 5 Mg. of Quercetin for better absorption of the Proanthocyanidins. Scientific References are available from the National Library of Medicine.
The recommended daily dose is two capsules.

The aging process degenerates cells leaving our bodies vulnerable to disease. There are already ways to fight this process of oxidization, but now Groundbreaking Research suggests Alpha Lipoic Acid, may be the most powerful antioxidant yet discovered.
Dr. Lester Packer, Head of the Membrane Bioenergetics Group and Department of Molecular & Cell Biology, at the University of California at Berkeley, is a pioneer in the study of Antioxidants and substances that protect the cells and tissues of the body from degenerating.
Dr. Packer and his researchers, in more than 60 studies on Alpha Lipoic Acid, found: "It's probably the most potent naturally occurring antioxidant known to man." "It may significantly reduce both the risks and effects of many age related diseases."
Experiments with stroke found that rats on Alpha Lipoic Acid are four times as likely to survive a stroke.
Other research suggests that it provides similar help when recovering from a heart attack. Dr. Packer reported on National Television that: "Alpha Lipoic Acid could be a missing link in the treatment and prevention of disease."
"When you compare this to other antioxidants like vitamin E and vitamin C, it stacks up stronger than all of them, because for one thing it has its own anti oxidant properties and secondly it increases the effectiveness of vitamin E and vitamin C."
While the body produces minute quantities of Alpha Lipoic Acid, scientists believe that supplements of it may bolster the body's entire anti oxidant, and aging network.
In one example, researchers put mice on a severely vitamin E deficient diet. The mice quickly lost weight, shriveled up and became sick.
When Alpha Lipoic Acid was added to that same vitamin E deficient diet, the mice gained weight and muscle, returned to and maintained perfect health. The Alpha Lipoic Acid actually compensated for the vitamin E deficiency.
Alpha Lipoic Acid improves memory, prevents cataracts, is a co-factor for energy production and a treatment for liver damage caused by alcohol. However, if you suffer from a vitamin B-12 deficiency, consult a physician before using Alpha Lipoic Acid.
There is conclusive evidence that Alpha Lipoic Acid is effective in preventing and treating diabetes (both type I and type II) as well as the complications caused by diabetes.
These complications, caused by free radical damage and glucose-induced cross-linking, include: nerve damage to the eyes resulting in retinopathy or blindness, rigidity and narrowing of arteries resulting in Atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke, aging of nerve, muscle and connective tissue cells and malfunctioning neurons, neuritic plaques and Neurofibrillary which cause Alzheimer's disease.
Solid evidence from research and tests on animals and humans show these pathologies of diabetes can be prevented and effectively treated by the antioxidant and anti-glycation effects of Alpha Lipoic Acid.

The future of Medicine lies in disease prevention and anti-aging. Key components will be from a very small group of special herbs and extracts called adaptogens (herbal extracts with the ability to restore damaged cells to health). Only one adaptogen is found in about every 1000 medical plants.
In this 21st century, science has come to realize and give credence to the medical qualities and healing potency of adaptogens. Their intricate medical benefits were realized in Asia centuries ago.
Mikael Wahlstrom, author of Adaptogens: Nature's Key to Well-Being writes: "Soon over 70% of illness and disease will be conquered with the help of adaptogens." (Garlic, like Ginkgo Biloba, is an adaptogen.)
The properties of Garlic (known in Europe as Russian Penicillin) are remarkable. One reason some people in France, Italy and Russia live well over 100 years, disease free, may be their large daily consumption of garlic.
Adaptogens guard cells against physical and emotional stress that deteriorates the immune system, obstructs cell function and blocks the use of glucose, thus inhibiting the production of enzymes. Adaptogens transform glucose to energy, shield and enable cells to grow more resistant to damage, stimulate the body's self regeneration process and help it rebuild, even under unfavorable conditions.
Dr. F. G. Piotrousky, University of Vienna found that 40% of hypersensitive patients obtained substantially lower blood pressure after eating garlic. This was the start of extensive research which revealed: "Garlic can reduce cholesterol an average of 9%; Lower blood pressure in many hypersensitive patients enough to stop medication; Inhibit oxidation of LDL and HDL cholesterol; Boost immune functions; Protect neurons from aging damage; Reduce the risk of cancer, Neutralize and inhibit free radicals; Inhibit platelet aggregation and remove toxic metals from the body."
In his scientific paper on Garlic's effect on Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Lipids and Glucose in Humans, Dr. R. Bakhsh's human subjects took 40 grams of garlic a week while eating a fat-rich diet. (The previous week they ate the same diet without garlic.)
The blood serum cholesterol levels of the subjects (taken after the use of garlic) were dramatically lower than they were in the same subjects after eating the same diet, but without taking garlic.
Dr. K. Gannon confirmed these findings. In "Drug Topics, The Almighty Garlic" he states: "Research has shown that consumption of garlic may lower cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as prevent some types of cancer." Additionally, studies at the University of Massachusetts concluded that garlic was also an effective weapon against yeast infections.
