welcome Optimum health can be viewed as a pyramid, the base of good health and longevity lies in a foundation of genetics, lifestyle, exercise and nutrition. Further up the scale, w e know that vitamins, minerals, hormones and s o m e drugs can play an important role in maintaining optimal performance and health. In this magazine we focus on issues that relate to the base of the pyramid, such as the avoidance and removal of toxins, particularly heavy metals (this may fall between the areas of lifestyle & genetics and vitamins & minerals). Toxins burden the body, disrupt cell communication, lead to hormonal disarray, and can go on to trigger disorders ranging from fatigue to Alzheimer's disease.
Hormones & precursors
Neurotransmitters Precursors
Vitamins i Minerals
Lifestyle & Genetics
Chelation (the removal of heavy metals) is something that everyone should be aware of. In todays modern world, it is virtually impossible to completely avoid them, so the adoption of a program designed to reduce them is a priority.
The optimal health pyramid
T h e whole issue of the Optimal Health Pyramid is vast and cannot be covered in one issue; therefore we will be covering each section of the Pyramid in greater detail in forthcoming issues.
in this issue
In the meantime I hope you find our first instalment both interesting and enlightening and offers you some solutions on how to live more healthily on this poisoned planet!

"taking a hot 10 minute shower is equivalent to absorbing the "toxic" contents of that water, (i.e. the chlorine, lead, cadmium and fluoride etc), and is proportional to drinking 8 glasses of the same water!"
significant number of research studies, both past and present illustrate the degree to which our environment is being polluted by all kinds of toxic chemicals. Through industrialization, agribusiness (this word was purposely used- instead of agriculture, to emphasise the intensive methods of food production), the burning of fossil fuels, (primarily to produce electric) and other "modern life" processes, our land, air and water have been contaminated to some extent. Absorbing these toxins into our bodies, does not require handling "dangerous" chemicals in the way that a scientist, an engineer, a mechanic, a farmer or even a gardener may. The every day functions of breathing, eating, drinking and bathing is sufficient to accumulate toxins. Let us look at some "everyday" examples:
Contamination sources 1. A recent study suggested that taking a hot 10 minute shower is equivalent to absorbing the "toxic" contents of that water, (i.e. the chlorine, lead, cadmium and fluoride etc), and is proportional to drinking 8 glasses of the same water! (1) If you think you are avoiding tap water "content" by buying bottled mineral water, think again... Clearly, once inside a hot bathroom, the skin pores open and toxins are readily passed into the bloodstream. Additionally, breathing the steam into the lungs is another fast route to absorption. 2. Research suggests that traces of commonly used drugs can now also be found in tap water, including Viagra and Prozac. (3) You may have heard that as only 2-3% of the world's water is fresh, it has all been drunk at least twice before! Sanitation systems simply do not effectively eliminate such materials. In Germany, a random examination of tap water sampled from different towns across the country showed that they were all contaminated with progesterones found in the female contraceptive pill. (4) 3. Modern farming, packaging and some industrial processes contribute to phytoestrogens being released into the ecosystem, (particularly through the use of pesticides, plastics and contraceptives). Known as endocrine disrupters, they are suspected of causing problems for FAX
O R D E R I N G +44 (0)208 I 8 I 6106
humans and wildlife. For instance, cases have been reported offish, frogs and alligators changing sex as a result of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in polluted aquatic environments. (7) What is the impact of the gradual but long-term accumulation of these powerful hormones upon humans? Given the fairly recent information highlighting the cancer causing factors of particular estrogens, (and the need for balanced ratios between themselves and testosterone), we can see why there is such a prevalence of prostate conditions in men. They may also be related to the increasing prevalence of breast and cervical cancers. [Ed.- Dr. Jonathan Wright discussed the issues of estrogen imbalances and cancer in the August 2000 issue of the Antiaging Bulletin. This article can be viewed at: http://www.antiagingsystems.com/extract/cancerrisk.htm] 4. In many countries, compulsory fluoridation of the water is now becoming commonplace, not to mention the regular addition of other chemicals such as chlorine! We could undoubtedly have an entire article dedicated to the misinformation about fluoride being protective to teeth and "safe," however, we haven't the space to do that here today. In my opinion, there are too many negative issues concerning Sodium Fluoride and thus it should be avoided. For further reading on the subject, a recommended book by Dr. John Yiamouyisnnis is titled; Fluoride, The Aging Factor, [Ed - visit the IAS library at: http://www.antiagingsystems.com/publications/home.htm] A recent study into the dangers associated with fluoride show that it significantly inhibits DNA synthesis repair enzymes. Dr. Wolfgang Klein and co-workers at the Seibersdorf Research Center in Austria reported that as little as 1 part per million of fluoride inhibits DNA repair enzyme activity by 50%. Since fluoride inhibits DNA repair enzyme activity, it could be expected to precipitate an increase in genetic or chromosome damage. This has indeed occurred in numerous animal studies where fluoride in water, even at the concentration of 1 part per million, has caused chromosome damage (2). 5. Modern dental practices also leave a lot to be desired. Being British, I am acutely aware that this country still uses silvermercury containing amalgams. Other
wi European countries (particularly Scandinavia), have banned its use, (unless a waiver has been signed requesting one). Each individual "silver" mercury amalgam in the mouth, is estimated to release 10 meg of mercury per day. (6) For further information on this subject, the interested reader is directed to; www.amalgam.org 6. Many contaminants are ultimately dumped into the sea. Accordingly, fish stocks from most parts of the world are now found to contain mercury in their tissues, (particularly Tuna, Shark and Swordfish). Studies from the Mediterranean have shown that methylated mercury has been found in nearly 100% of examined fish, at levels between 0.11 mg per kg and 1.85 mg per kg. Also, in 63.6% of cases, the methyl mercurycontent offish exceeded the maximum mercury level stipulated by the EuropeanCommission at 1 mg per kg. (8) Many toxicologists agree that there is no real safe level of mercury, so it's a simple equation, if you eat fish, you are consuming mercury. Naturally there are other toxins found in fish such as PCB's and dioxins, and traces of arsenic and cadmium are particularly prominent in shell fish such as crabs, lobsters, oysters and clams etc. (14) To give some idea of the problem, a survey of Hong Kong high school students (9) found that as many as 10% ate enough fish to greatly exceed the safety limits for mercury exposure. The report found that the students' diets gave them a mercury exposure of 6.41 meg per kg of body weight a week, which is 4 times more than the UN recommended maximum of 1.6 meg per kg bodyweight per week. (10) 7. Landfill sites can leach various kinds of toxins, and although this area is perhaps the most tightly controlled, there are still many concerns. For example, the levels of lead in everyday items are much higher than most people think. For example, a CRT tube (found inside a television or computer monitor), contains on average 1.8 kg of lead. A study by the US Environmental Protection Agency, (12) tested various everyday items for lead leachate, and in each case the results exceeded the level of 5mg per litre, which is considered to be hazardous. Even the European Union has legislated that by 2006 no lead solder may be used in electronic devices, due to landfill leachate concerns. (13)
8. Despite many countries abandoning the use of leaded petrol for automobiles, lead and other heavy metal levels are still high. Why? Primarily because to make electricity, fossil fuels such as coal and oil are burnt and by-products, such as lead and cadmium, are deposited into the atmosphere, the ground and in water. Evaluations of bones from the 16th century, indicate that modern man has as much as 1000 times more lead than preindustrialized human beings. (11/20) How? These toxins and heavy metals find their way easily into the air, water and food chain. You need only breathe, drink and/or eat (plants or animals) to start your contamination and accumulation of these body burdens. 9. Of course we cannot overlook the contributions of the motor vehicle to pollution. Apart from lead, numerous other toxins are omitted from burning fuel and wearing tires. Amongst the most common are cadmium, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Contrary to popular opinion cars fitted with catalytic converters still omit toxic fumes, only to a lesser degree. It is worth noting that catalytic converters are only functional when "up to temperature" and that on the first part of a journey, or on a short journey, they are completely ineffective. (5)
These facts and figures may be very interesting by themselves, but what are the consequences of accumulating these various toxins, and what "burdens" do they place upon our optimal health? Let us focus on some of the key toxins in question:
Lead Lead interferes with haemoglobin synthesis and is believed to make red blood cells "brittle." (15) Furthermore, increasing lead levels correlate with the age-related decrease in renal function, and even low-level environmental lead exposure may accelerate progressive renal insufficiency. (16/17) Results from research conducted at Cornell University indicate that lead/blood levels even far below 10 meg per decilitre, (the current US Federal minimum threshold for defining elevated lead levels in children), affects both mental development and I.Q. (21) Lead is also known to displace minerals within the body, particularly calcium. In severe cases "lead lines" can actually be visible on X-Rays where it has replaced calcium. (14) In general, lead toxicity can cause memory loss, attention and learning disabilities, muscle pains, nausea, headaches, depression, immune system suppression, dizziness, lethargy, abdominal pains, high blood pressure and in more severe cases anaemia, multiple sclerosis and kidney failure. (22) Additional common sources of lead can include bone meal, ceramics, cosmetics, newsprint, putty and hair coloring. (30)
Mercury Mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metals, and is noted for causing rapid brain neuron degeneration. [Ed - If you are interested, with QuickTime 4.0 you can see how mercury causes neural degradation in a video presentation by the University of Calgary at; http://commons.ucalgary.ca/mercury]. Mercury contamination can lead to restlessness, profuse sweating, tremors, swollen extremities, lethargy, anxiety, depression, insomnia and brain fog. Indeed, these symptoms can often present themselves as vague/ unrelated and multiple in their origin. Meanwhile, mercury has been cited as the main culprit in the so-called Gulf War Syndrome, where hundreds of troops experienced these types of symptoms after being injected with a cocktail of vaccines. These vaccines used thimerosal, an ethyl mercury-based compound that was present because of its preservative qualities. (24) Mercury has also been closely linked with senile dementia, particularly 6
ONLINE
Alzheimer's disease. Remember the saying "Mad as a Hatter?" Back in the 18th and 19th Centuries, Hatters used mercury in the steaming process to shape headwear. As a result, they breathed in the heavy vapor and many of them went senile! My dentist tells me that his profession is now in one of the highest risk factors for Alzheimer's disease...perhaps because they are regularly removing silver mercury amalgams and breathing in the drilled-out vapour. The latest research shows that Apolipoprotein E (Apo-E) genotyping may be a potential biomarker for mercury neurotoxicity, (and indeed personal susceptibility to other heavy metal neurotoxicity). Moreover, Apo-E is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease. So the door could be open to understanding how chronic low-level mercury levels can, over long periods of time lead to diseases such as Alzheimer's. (25) Additional common sources of mercury can include adhesives, fabric softeners, laxatives, pigments and wood preservatives. (30)
Arsenic Signs of severe arsenic intoxication include dark spots on skin, bleeding sores, nail rot and gangrene. Arsenic may also lead to cancers of the lung, bladder and kidney, as well as blood vessel diseases. (23) Apart from shell fish, arsenic can be found in soil, and minute quantities may also be contained in fruits and vegetables that have been sprayed with pesticides. Furthermore, arsenic is used in the formation of pressure treated woods, accordingly carpenters are exposed when sawing etc. Arsenic may also be used in glass manufacture, weed killers, wallpaper and detergents. (30)
Cadmium Ingested cadmium is mainly deposited in the kidneys and the prostate gland. High blood levels of this metal can cause acute renal failure, "hardening" of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), along with high blood pressure. (23) Perhaps the greatest cadmium exposure is caused by cigarettes. The "average" cigarette contains about 1.4 meg of cadmium with 30 percent entering the lungs and the remaining 70 percent entering the atmosphere. Perhaps it's no surprise considering the propensity for cadmium to congregate in the prostate gland that male smokers are at a much higher risk of developing prostate cancer than their non-smoking counterparts. (14/27) Symptoms of cadmium toxicity include O R D E R I N G www.antiaging-magazine.com
fatigue, hypertension, emphysema, yellowing of teeth, pains in back, legs and sternum, rheumatism and prostate cancer. (27) Other cadmium sources can include bleached flour, pottery, dental prosthetics, nickel-cadmium batteries, paints, solvents, rubber carpet backing, organ meats, plastics, rice and fertilizers. (30)
Iron Whilst most supplement manufacturers add iron to their multi-vitamins, it is so prevalent in day-to-day activity that, in the majority of cases it is rarely required as an additional supplement. (20) What should be better known is that iron overloads contribute to a number of health problems. For example, iron is a pro-oxidant as well as a "nutrient" for invading microbial and neoplastic cells. (20) Excessive iron in specific tissues and cells can promote development of infection, neoplasia, cardiomyopathy, arthropathy, and various endocrine and possibly even neurodegenerative disorders. (18) Furthermore, there is evidence that excessive body stores of iron correlate with the increased risk of cancer. (19)
Aluminium Despite aluminium being one of the most prevalent mineral's in the Earth, it would appear that our bodies have not developed a use for it. However, there are now more than 30 published articles that link excess levels of Aluminium in the brain to premature senility and loss of memory. (27) Aluminium toxicity can present the symptoms of aching muscles, rickets, osteoporosis, senile dementia (particularly Alzheimer's disease), hepatic dysfunction, gastric distress, Gl tract inflammation, flatulence, belching, and in children, hyperactivity. (27) Typical "everyday" sources of aluminium contamination include cooking utensils (including cutlery and pots and pans), baking powder (contains aluminium sulfate), antacids, deodorants and antiperspirants, cans and other food/ drink packaging containers, coal burning, milk products (from milking equipment), pesticides and food additives, to name but a few! (30) So now let us discover some of the key factors involved in reducing these heavy metal burdens:
EDTA EDTA or Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid was invented in Germany in the mid 1930's as a substitute for citric acid and is FAX
O R D E R I N G +44 (0)208 I 8 I 6 106
a synthetic amino acid related to vinegar. It is a potent and multi-chemical chelator. This means that it binds minerals to itself, in this case holding them tightly, then leaving the body with the mineral, primarily through the urine. Due to the structure of the molecule, it seems appropriate to consider it as a biologically active detoxifier. EDTA is one of, if not the prime chelator used today. It has a very strong affinity for removing lead. In fact a report by the Los Alamos Research Laboratory showed that oral EDTA excreted 5 to 10 times more lead out of children than placebo. EDTA has also been shown to remove iron, cadmium, aluminium and even mercury, along with other metals, such as nickel. (20) Usually EDTA is used in i.v. form at physicians' offices, but the work of Dr. Garry Gordon has shown that EDTA is efficacious when taken orally. He has over 507 published references to the fact that oral EDTA is safe and effective at his Gordon Research Institute website. (20) Dr. Gordon points out in his lectures that chelation is an ongoing continuous process, particularly when chelating bones can take on average 7 years or more to accomplish. Under such circumstances, i.v. chelation is simply not practical for such continuous long-term use. [Ed.- EDTA is now available in capsules as Essential Daily Defense ® (which is also contained in the sachets of Beyond Chelation Improved ®). EDTA is also available as "bath salts" in Beyond Clean ® and uniquely in chewing gum form as EZ Defense ® gum]. One caveat is that EDTA will bind and remove other minerals from the body, thus it is highly prudent to ensure that multivitamins/ minerals are also taken along with EDTA. (20) [Ed.- This is accomplished if you use Beyond Chelation Improved ® as this product contains a full spectrum of nutrition and oils etc]. However, it is clear that with continuous use in tens of thousands of patients, (many of whom have used EDTA for years), that EDTA is a safe therapy. Accordingly, more-and-more individuals and health professionals consider EDTA to be a long term "lifestyle" supplement. Obviously, dosages of any chelating substance, including EDTA are based upon need. However, in the case of low-level intoxication for an otherwise healthy person, a daily oral dose of 400 mg to 800 mg is fairly typical. (20)
Succinic acid (DMSA) Succinic acid or DMSA (Dimercptosuccinic acid) is noted as being one of the most potent chelators of both mercury (20) and cadmium. In fact, one study highlighted Succinic acid as being
garlic cart chelate heavy metals, particularly lead and mercury and has been shown to increase the fetal excretion of mercury by as much as 400%"
the most effective in leaving minimal residual levels of cadmium in the liver and the kidneys of animals. (28) In addition, Succinic acid also shows reasonable affinity for chelating lead and arsenic. (20) As one of the most potent chelators, oral Succinic acid is often utilised prior to an i.v. chelation therapy, but unless required for acute cases, is rarely used on a permanent basis. In the chat-groups on Dr. Gordon's website, (20) he himself states that he uses a product called Heavy Detox ® at 1-3 capsules nightly, (each capsule containing 65mg of Succinic acid) one month on, one month off.
Garlic The main "active" ingredient in garlic is allicin, which is the substance that gives garlic its distinctive smell. One recent aspect of allicin is that it is a very powerful anti-biotic, and along with oregano appears to be a "rare" herb, in that it doesn't allow anything to grow on it! To give one example of how potent it has proven to be, researchers from the University of East London used allicin in capsule and cream form to successfully treat even the most antibiotic-resistant strains of infections, such as MRSA. (26) It is also known that garlic can chelate 7
heavy metals, particularly lead and mercury and has been shown to increase the fetal excretion of mercury by as much as 400%. It also helps to protect blood cells against high levels of lead. (27) Providing the source of organic garlic is high in allicin content, a typical daily protective dose is in the region of 800 mg to 1600 mg. (20)
Therefore, the full benefits of vitamin C assisting the body in recovering from many serious problems are now achievable with 5 to 20 grams per day, when taken orally! For the first time, high ascorbate blood levels are being noted with orally ingested vitamin C, which previously was only achievable with injections. (20)
Selenium
Others
Selenium is a trace element that binds to mercury and effectively deactivates it. It is also a potent antioxidant and helps the body to assimilate and use vitamin E. (27) Furthermore, selenium helps to prevent protein mis-synthesis. Gerontologist Alex Comfort, in a 1970 paper, described the effects of Selenium; "like protecting a record by lubricating the needle to reduce scratching, that would otherwise render it unplayable." Selenium has shown itself to protect against hardening of arteries and is often used in "alternative" cancer therapies. (27) Typical daily dosages- to chelate mercury, are considered to be in the region of 100 meg to 300 meg. (20)
There are a number of other substances that have been proven to have varying degrees of affinity to chelate various metals. Briefly, these include Malic acid for aluminium and iron. DL-Methionine for lead and mercury, DMPS (Dimethylpropanyl sulfate) and Alphalipoic acid for mercury and L-carnosine for copper. (30)
Vitamin C Vitamin C holds the honor of probably having more published studies conducted on it than any other substance. Certainly it is clear from the work of scientists such as the late, great Linus Pauling, that vitamin C has the widest possible roles and uses within the body. Yet, it is the one vitamin that the body cannot store and adequate supplies are needed from the diet every day. In his excellent book; "Vitamin C, infectious diseases and toxins," (29) Dr. Thomas Levy highlights the studies that have shown vitamin C to have numerous chelation abilities in humans, including reduction of carbon monoxide, pesticides, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, chlorine, aluminium and fluoride. To work at its best, vitamin C doses should be taken as regularly as possible. For example, dosages of 1 to 3 grams three or four times daily. The problem has always been that larger doses of vitamin C when taken orally are problematic for some people, as they can cause diarrhoea and stomach cramps. Vitamin C injections are of limited use and they are neither convenient or cost effective for the majority of people. Recently, a unique version of vitamin C, containing L-ascorbate crystals with FASM, (Fully Attached Sodium Molecule) and buffered at a non-acidic, neutral pH has been produced. The brand name is Beyond C ® and it eliminates, (or greatly reduces) the usual intestinal distress that can occur in some persons taking large doses of vitamin C. 8
"all results can be improved by removing toxins and hence reducing the body's burdens"
f
Conclusion As is so often the case, and as Dr. Gordon has highlighted in his extensive research, the best approach is multi-faceted. In other words, a combination of different ingredients will work on multiple levels, and is preferable to massive doses of a single item. (20) There is much more to the body's burdens, and indeed the chelation substances mentioned above can do much more than just help to remove the heavy metals in question. In particular, their effects upon removing calcium/ reducing arthrosclerosis and "thinning" blood, or the research that shows they have significantly increased the longevity of animals. But those are subjects for future articles, when we will elaborate on the additional health benefits of a chelating/ detoxing program. Common sense should tell us that no matter what we are into for our health, or how deeply we are into it; whether the methods be lifestyle, diet, exercise, nutrition, hormone replacement, drugs, stem cells or any combination thereof, all results can be improved by removing toxins and hence reducing the body's burdens. We all do what we can to avoid toxins, but ultimately, none of us can completely avoid coming into contact with them. As heavy metals accumulate and deposit themselves in our membranes and bones, it behoves those of us who are interested in and motivated by our own self preservation, to do what we can through chelation to reduce these burdens. I believe that this kind of detox program should be widely prescribed in Antiaging Medicine.
developed by the world expert in chelation, Garry Gordon, M.D. [Ed.- please see interview with Dr. Gordon in this issue], I take 1 complete sachet of Beyond Chelation Improved © e a c h morning, 1 teaspoon of Beyond C ® 2 or 3 times a day, use a scoop of Beyond Clean ® in my bath, chew an E-Z Defence ® gum after major meals and occasionally ingest a capsule of Heavy Detox ®. To reduce estrogen levels, I use 1 or 2 capsules of DIM and I3C containing Pro-Brassica ® daily. I admit that I use a good number of additional products most days (for various reasons). As a researcher, I can't escape wanting to try different products and protocols, especially when I recognise my own symptoms in the text! But as I have been using Dr. Gordon's products mentioned above for the past 3 months, I have noticed a number of beneficial effects. I definitely feel that I have more physical energy (and people have commented to me on that), I'm sleeping better (which for me means less) and I've noticed that I can reduce the dosages of some of the specialist products I use, (such as Hydergine) and still maintain their effects. I even see that I am losing weight more easily. Are my cells responding and operating at a better/ more efficient level because I am chelating my toxins? I certainly like to think so! References

9 risk factors predict most heart attacks
A major study was reported recently at the European Society of Cardiology in Munich, Germany. It matched 15,152 people suffering from their first myocardial infarction (Ml), to healthy people of the same age and sex, in an effort to spot differences in lifestyle that could predict potential heart attacks. The interesting results were as follows: • The leading factor that was most different between the healthy group and
the patients who had suffered a heart attack was raised lipid levels, in particu l a r t h e ratio of Apolipoprotein B to Apolipoprotein A1. Individuals with the highest ratios had 4-times the risk of an Ml. • Smoking was the second most important factor, with smokers having 3-times the risk of an Ml compared to non-smokers. • Diabetes also imposed a near 3-time risk of Ml. • Hypertension increased risk by 2.5 times. • Abdominal obesity and stress doubled Ml risk. • Other risk factors included low daily consumption of vegetables/ fruit, taking little regular exercise and excessive alcohol intake. The individual risk factors were also found to be multiplicative, so that a person suffering from ail of the above, is 100 times more likely to have a heart attack, as opposed to someone with none of the above! Professor Salim Yusuf from McMaster
idebenone
University in Ontario, Canada stated; "The vast majority of heart attacks- nearly 90%can be predicted by these nine easily measurable factors."
Weekly fluconazole effective for thrush According to a recent US study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine (2004:351:876), recurrent vaginal candidiasis can be effectively managed using weekly doses of fluconazole. A total of 387 women, who were affected regularly by thrush, received either 150 mg of fluconazole a week, or a placebo. They were observed over 6-months and it was noted that the active treatment reduced the frequency of symptoms by 90%. Furthermore, at 6-months 128 of 141 patients receiving fluconazole remained free of any clinical recurrence, compared to just 51 of 142 patients receiving placebo.
the ultimate anti-oxidant Idebenone has been widely used to protect aging individuals from a wide variety of complaints, and it is one of the most potent anti-oxidants known, (400 times greater than vitamin E). It also acts as a cerebral stimulant and increases brain energy levels. Idebenone is a special variant of CoQ10, it has all the cardiovascular qualities of CoQ10, but it protects against oxidation to a far greater degree than CoQ10. • Idebenone protects under hypoxic conditions, a situation where CoQ10 can have the opposite effect. • Idebenone (unlike CoQ10) has been shown to increase Nerve Growth Factor, thereby showing it to have cognitive enhancement abilities. • Idebenone is a superb anti-oxidant for protecting the all important mitochondria, by both "mopping up" free radical activity and protecting the unique mitochondrial DNA. • In fact when organs are "harvested" for transplant to another patient, very often it is Idebenone that is used to protect it from damage. It is our belief that using Idebenone along with Beyond Chelation Improved (the optimal health dietary supplement program) and Beyond C (high potency enhanced vitamin C) will provide an unbeatable anti-oxidant regime.

Although it is hard to believe, the majority of the estrogens (and progesterones) that are prescribed around the world today are actually derived from animals, particularly horses. Dr. Wright has pointed out these facts in his best selling book, "Natural hormone replacement therapy, don't let your doctor give you horse urine!"

"To stay healthy, observe and follow nature." Physicians and master healers have made this statement for literally thousands of years, in many languages and variations. It remains as true today. None of us has to be a rocket scientist; we simply have to mimic nature. For this reason, some question the basic concept of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) during or after menopause, rightly pointing out that hormones naturally decline with age, although relatively abruptly at menopause for women. So how can it be "natural" to replace hormones at a time of life when they're naturally not there? The answer to this criticism is conditioned by the circumstances of the late 20th and the early 21st centuries, definitely not a "state of nature" time for the human race. To stay as "natural" as possible, we must work on it. In our era, being natural doesn't happen naturally!
So if a woman at menopause: • Had a mother who ate only whole, natural food with a full complement of nutrients during her pregnancies. > Had (herself) no in-utero exposures to chlorination, fluoridation, pesticides, herbicides, artificial colors, flavors or other artificial chemicals, or any artificially generated electromagnetic fields. > Was born without exposure to anesthetics. • Was nursed until at least one year of age with no other food intake until at least 10 to 12 months of age.
Fortunately, there are some women who, despite not having been able to live a perfectly natural lifestyle, are able to live into their 90's in good health, having used no hormone replacement. However, if you're not in the "all-natural" category or have one or more risk factors noted above, or wish to use hormone replacement for anti-aging purposes, then it's obviously best to use hormone replacement that duplicates what was naturally there before menopause.
The average woman's estrogen production is 90-7-3 In healthy, normally-cycling women under age 40 taking no medications, recent research at Meridian Valley Laboratories, (for whom I consult) has shown that 90% of serum, (the "clear" fraction of the bloodstream) estrogens are estriol, 7% are estradiol and 3% are estrone. (Of course these are "average" percentages- but the individual variations were not found to be wide). Noting that estrone is pro-carcinogenic (as is estradiol; estriol is generally considered to be anti-carcinogenic), some natural medicine practitioners recommend the use of a combination of estradiol and estriol only. (It's not clear why no one has yet recommended eliminating estradiol and using a combination of estrone and estriol only, since estradiol is likely to be more pro-carcinogenic than estrone). Following the "observe and follow nature" principle stated at the outset, my recommendation is still to use all three estrogens in their naturally occurring proportions. (Certainly if science can prove incontrovertibly that nature has been wrong, all along, I'll change my opinion!)
Estrogen timing > Grew up on that same whole, natural food diet, without any of the exposures noted above. > Got lots of sunshine and exercise while growing up. • Continued with the same diet, exercise, sunshine exposure, and none of the un-natural exposures noted above throughout the rest of her life. • And in addition, if that same woman has no family history of osteoporosis, heart attack or arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia. Then she very likely doesn't need to think about hormone replacement therapy at the menopause! FAX

It's also best to duplicate nature's timing of those hormones. Remember, the hormones are not just sent from the ovaries on this schedule, they are also received by specific "hormone receptors" on the same schedule. Although this fact may seem obvious and perhaps not worth mentioning, it's quite important to pay attention to the post menopause if we are using hormone replacement therapy. (For example, animal studies show that estriol is almost always anti-carcinogenic, except when it's given in very high doses, or when it's given every day without any pauses). If the hormone receptors have been conditioned for a woman's entire menstrual years to receive hormones of a specific type on a specific schedule, it's more likely that some sort of malfunction will occur, if either the type of hormone or the timing is persistently altered. In addition to types of hormones and their
"In our era, being natural doesn't happen naturally!" timing, correct quantities are equally important. On this point, there's a bit of a debate among natural medicine practitioners. Following another basic principle of "prescribe the least amount necessary to do the job," the majority of natural medicine practitioners currently recommend sufficient hormones to provide protection against osteoporosis, heart and blood vessel problems, senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease, but not enough to produce a monthly menstrual period. (These amounts usually result in "lownormal" serum or urine hormone levels). Most women prefer this approach, generally agreeing, (when asked) that they'd rather not have menstrual periods until age 96 or so. However, a few practitioners recommend larger quantities, enough to produce monthly menstrual bleeding. These practitioners argue that it's probably better to "flush" the uterus on a regular basis. One particular study, (Moyer DL, de Lignieres B, Driguez P, Pez JP. Prevention of endometrial hyperplasia by progesterone during long-term estradiol replacement: influence of bleeding pattern and secretory changes. Fertil Steril. 1993 May;59(5):992-7), set out to answer that question regarding bleedings for postmenopausal women seeking treatment for menopause. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they discovered that high doses of estrogen and progesterone lead to more frequent bleedings than lower doses. However, the study did conclude that there did not seem to be any additional benefits from large doses, plus noted that relatively low doses of progesterone do help to reduce the risk of bleeding.
Estrogen dosing I've prescribed true estrogen replacement during and after the menopause since 1982 using an older formula of 80% estriol, 10% estradiol, 10% estrone. Over the years, a 2.5mg total quantity of that formulation worked best for hundreds of women. Using the formula derived from the latest research (the "90-7-3" percentages noted previously), I'd presently recommend (for technical reasons) a somewhat higher starting quantity of total estrogens, 3.5mg daily, used on days 1 through 25 of each month, and not used on days 25 through 30 of each month. (Certainly, not all months are 30 long, and the majority of women did not have exactly 30-day menstrual cycles. One woman with whom I work takes her hormones according to 11

However, most women find it simpler and more practical to work with the "regular" calendar. (See graph above) The last five days, one is allowing the estrogen receptors to "rest" as they have been accustomed to do.
Progesterone As explained in previous articles, progesterone is an important addition when undertaking estrogen therapy, and the late John Lee, M.D., highlighted many of the progesterone issues with his work and publications. A reasonable quantity of progesterone is 25mg to 30mg, used starting on days 10 to 15 and taken through day 25. The starting date is varied according to the timing of each woman's ovulation when she was cycling. If this timing isn't known, a starting date from day 10 to 15 is arbitrarily chosen. Once again, the last five days with no progesterone allow the progesterone receptors to have their accustomed "rest."
DHEA Since many women metabolize DHEA, (another valuable hormone to replace after ages 40 to 50) into testosterone, I usually delay considering testosterone replacement until tests are done to see if a woman's testosterone levels are raised by her supplemental DHEA. If they're not, a reasonable quantity of testosterone is 0.5mg daily, taken (and not taken) on the same days as the estrogens. DHEA is an adrenal hormone, secreted every day by our adrenal glands. Therefore, when replacing it, an every day schedule is also recommended. For women, 15mg daily is generally a reasonable quantity. Follow-up testing shows a need for up to 30mg for a minority of women. It's been my 12
observation that DHEA replacement therapy is essential to maintaining optimal immune function and reducing somewhat the risk of cancer. Testosterone replacement, either directly or metabolized from DHEA, is essential in enabling women to maintain good muscle mass, even when "elderly".
Conclusions Summarizing hormone timing in graphic form: A very few women need to increase estrogen quantities towards the 5mg to 10mg range to control hot flashes, irritability, insomnia and other symptoms of the menopause. These quantities are not as "scary" as they seem; 5mg of natural Estrogen combinations are roughly equivalent to 0.9mg to 1,25mg of horse urine estrogen such as Premarin速. If bleeding occurs with ANY starting quantity, the amount should be cut back. But if bleeding persists it is important to consult a doctor. Usually no problem is found, but rarely a pre-cancerous or even cancerous condition may exist. Paradoxically, too much of the estrogens can cause bleeding, but for some women, too little can cause bleeding too! (It can be confusing for doctors too...especially us male doctors!) All in all, it's best to check in with your doctor again for advice on what to do if bleeding happens while taking natural estrogens...unless of course you and your doctor are following the "enough hormones to have periods every month, indefinitely" theory. A small minority of women (5% or less), who start natural estrogens find that even the largest quantities don't relieve symptoms. Nearly all of these women have previously taken horse urine estrogen (Premarin速), or another synthetic form of estrogen and/or progesterone (such as Provera速). These "hormones" that are not identical-tonatural, somehow interfere with the ability
ONLINE
of some women's bodies to use the identical-to-natural hormones. For symptom relief, a few women "retreat" to using horse hormones orsynthetics again, unfortunately raising their risk of adverse effects in the process. Fortunately, most women in this situation can re-establish their bodies' ability to use identical-tonatural hormones by working with their doctors to improve liver function. Nearly all of these women are excessively metabolizing estrogens, a condition technically termed "hyperexcretion". Estrogen hyperexcretion can be corrected with physiologic quantities of cobalt, but this question is best left to a practitioner skilled and knowledgeable in BHRT. Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of women are able to use natural hormones from the outset without these complications. Please remember that no hormone replacement, horse-urine, synthetic, or natural is entirely risk-free, although identical-to-natural hormones are less likely to cause problems. When taking estrogens, there is an extremely small risk of depression and blood clots. To help cut down on even these extremely small risks, it's wisest to include B-complex vitamins, (the amounts found in a good "megavitamin multiple" are usually sufficient), vitamin E (400 IU of mixed tocopherols), a source of omega-3 fatty acids such as cod-liver oil or flax oil (1 tablespoon daily), and iodine (one or two kelp tablets daily). [Ed.- An excellent nutritional base for daily use is Beyond Chelation Improved, which contains all the above factors and more besides]. The types and quantities of supplements here are recommendations I make in routine circumstances. Your circumstances may vary, so please ensure you check with your own health care advisor. As always, when working with a subject as complicated as replacement hormones, it's best to work with a physician skilled and knowledgeable in their use. It's the intention of this article (and my hope) to provide a little further detail on the practicalities of natural hormone replacement for women.

Niacin offers protection against Alzheimer's Disease
Smokers die 10-years earlier than non-smokers
Fitness not fatness predicts heart disease!
Niacin (vitamin B3), may protect against Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and age related cognitive decline. According to the Journal of Neurology and Neurosurgical Psychiatry (2004;75:1093-99), after adjustments for age, gender, race, education and the ApoE gene, researchers found that those with the lowest intake of niacin, (an average of 12.6 mg/day) were 80% more likely to be diagnosed with AD than those whose intake was nearly double at 22.4 mg/day. The research was based on 3700 people aged 65 and older, and a group of 815 patients were monitored over a 3-year period. It was suggested by the researchers that Niacin may protect against AD because of its role in DNA synthesis, repair and neural signalling, as well as its antioxidant role in brain cells. [Ed.- Note that Xanthinol Nicotinate is the most potent form of Niacin currently available).
Cigarette smokers are likely to die, on average, 10-years before their nonsmoking counterparts. These findings are the result of a 50-year study on mortality and smoking, based on 34,000 males born between 1900 and 1930. The study also highlights that even stopping smoking after many years produces substantial health benefits, for example, smokers who stopped at ages 30, 40, 50 or 60 years, respectively gained around, 10, 9, 6 or 3 years of extra life expectancy. The authors, Sir Richard Doll, and Sir Richard Peto of the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, England also noted the concerning trend of worldwide smoking patterns, whereby 30% of young adults have become smokers. They concluded that unless there is widespread cessation, it is estimated that there will be 1 Billion deaths attributable this century to smoking.
Another interesting study this period reported in JAMA (2004:292:1179-87), suggests that fitness is a better predictor of heart disease than fat levels, at least in women. The US research of 900 women suggested that body mass index and fat distribution were not so associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease, but rather it was their level of fitness that had more relevance! But, meantime another JAMA study (2004:292:1188-94), of 38,000 healthy women did suggest that body mass index predicted the development of diabetes better than physical activity! So this study at least did underscore the importance of body fat levels as a marker for determining the appearance of diabetes.

Premature skin aging is strongly related to an impaired cellular energetic metabolism. This leads in turn to reduced DNA and wound repair capacity, followed by skin atrophy with low replication rate in all skin layers. On the other hand, inflammatory and proliferating skin conditions like acne and psoriasis are associated with decreased cyclic nucleotides, like cAMP in blood and epidermal cells. (1) With the knowledge of these facts, the correction of the cellular energetic metabolism, by means of energy generating compounds is a prerequisite for successful integrative treatment. Research conducted at the Spezialklinik in Neukirchen, Germany, has led to a new skin formulation, known as Energy 速 cream. It was originally used for clinical conditions like psoriasis, acne, seborrhoic eczema and burns. Psoriasis is a well-known inflammatory skin disease associated with erythema, development of scales, vesicles and an accelerated growth of the epidermis. Besides the genetic disposition, additional provocations include: Chemical or physical skin irritations, skin injuries, surgical interventions Negative climate changes, (damp and cold weather, sunburn) Long-term intake of drugs, (for example, beta-blockers, lithium salts, penicillin, sulfonamides, anti-malaria-drugs etc) Bacterial or mycotic infections of the skin, lungs or intestinal tract, as superantigen triggers Cytokine disbalance related to changes in the humoral and cellular immune function Consumption of specific foods and food supplements, increasing the skin irritation by IgE-mediated or p s e u d o a l l e l e reactions Toxins like pesticides, fertilizers, wood preservatives, solvents, cosmetic ingredients or heavy metals from dental alloys, triggering the keratocyte proliferation via activated Tlymphocytes An impaired energetic metabolism associated with low concentrations of energy rich compounds (ATP) and cyclic nucleotides (cAMP), related to the increased epidermal proliferation rate Adisbalanced purine, protein and polyunsaturated fat metabolism A decreased antitoxic function of liver and blood cells Neurohormonal disturbances expressed by significant variations of catecholamines and suppression of P-adrenoreceptors Significantly increased free radical levels in whole blood and deviations of the plasma and serum redox potentials Negative psychogenic factors like conflict situations, examination anxiety, loss of job, accidents, operations, divorce, death of relatives etc All of the above can be responsible for the outbreak of psoriasis. (2) German doctors noticed in the late 80's that psoriatic skin lesions significantly responded to supplementation with energy generating compounds like ATP, ADP, 14

AMP as well as coenzymes of the energetic metabolism like nicotinamide, NAD and NADP. As the Energy ® cream with its pure biologicalingredients, boosts the cell activity and stimulates the energy metabolism by its ATP precursors (nicotinamide and AMP), it has proven to be very useful in the therapeutic and post-therapeutic skin care of psoriasis patients, by eliminating erythem and normalizing the cell replication rate. (3) Another study was undertaken involving with 20 psoriasis patients in the Dermatology Clinic of the Bucharest Military Hospital. The research suggested that Energy ® cream is effective in the maintenance therapy of psoriasis, especially following phototherapy, when xerodermia and pruritus appeared. (4) Inflammatory acne skin conditions are also characterized by a decreased local cellular immune response and low epidermal ATP-levels. In a previous study, 42 acne patients, (19 with slight and 23 with medium forms) used Energy ® cream for 30 days applied twice daily, (morning and evening, after cleaning the face with cold water). During the treatment patients were advised to avoid spices, food prepared in hot oil, alcohol and smoking. Before being used on face and neck, the irritative and allergic tolerance of the Energy ® cream was first tested on the forearm skin and was well accepted by all patients. All 19 patients with slight forms of acne reported a significant decrease in the number of comedones and papulo-pustulas. In the 23 cases with medium forms of acne, the results were evaluated as being favourable, and a definite suppression of sebum secretion was registered. In 8 out of 42 patients, a biological peeling was noticed, which disappeared after 12 to 14 days of treatment. All patients showed a decrease of the skin erythem and inflammation around the acne pustules after 3 weeks of administration. The scar avoidance and the skin smoothing effect of the cream was also greatly appreciated. (5) When using the Energy ® cream, scientists at the Spezialklinik Neukirchen, also noticed that successfully treated psoriatic areas of the scalp and forehead skin, demonstrated a significant improvement in skin structure and wrinkles. 33 different test formulations were required to improve the original psoriatic cream to a market conforming cosmetic mixture for rapid skin regeneration with prominent anti-aging effects. We know today, that the intrinsic (genetically determined) and the extrinsic (UV- and toxic exposure mediated), aging processes are overlapped and strongly related to an increased generation of free radicals, (activated oxygen species) in the skin. This leads in turn to accelerated collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid degradation, associated with decreased water retention, diminished antioxidant capacity, disrupted cellular structures, low energetic metabolism, sagging and wrinkled skin. Biomarkers of intrinsic skin aging include hyaluronic acid depolymerisation, the reduced melanogenesis and estrogen dependent collagen synthesis, the lowered ATP generation and wound repair capabilities, the impaired antioxidant FAX

defence and increased lipofuscin generation, (age spots). In accord with the identified aging biomarkers, specific therapies to minimize the intrinsic and the extrinsic skin aging processes were proposed. Besides "classic approaches" for intrinsic aging including topical hyaluronate, estrogens and vitamin C substitution, new interventions addressing the low energetic metabolism and melanin synthesis, (such as energy creams with ATP precursors etc.), were required. (6) With its optimal combination of essential oils and amino acids, having a restorative effect on cell structures, as well as natural moisturizing and energetic factors with their smoothing and activating effect, the Energy ® cream is absorbed immediately into the skin, and does not leave a greasy feeling when applied. It protects the skin and activates the cells with its micro-molecular components and energy generating ingredients. Of special interest is the melanin promoting effect of phenylalanine, which leads to a rapid tanning process, with solar protection. The hypoallergenic cream is free of preservatives, colors and fragrances and therefore suitable for sensitive or allergic skin. The result is healthy, fresh looking skin. In this respect, the Energy ® cream is a unique skin care product, which clearly reduces daily skin problems induced by:

Used twice a day, it eliminates impure spots, comedones and oily acne skin, offering a natural moisture and velvety softness.

INTERVIEW
Antiaging Magazine discusses , & with Dr. Garry Gordon
Ti Garry Gordon MD, DO, MD (H), Dr Gordon received his DO in 1958, an honorary MD degree in 1962 and completed Radiology in 1964. He was also, for many years, Medical Director of Mineral Lab. Today, Dr. Gordon is on the Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners, co-founder of the American College for Advancement in Medicine, President of the International College of Advanced Longevity and a Board Member of the International Oxidative Medicine Association. As a world-renowned expert in chelation therapy, Dr. Gordon is behind many publications, including The Chelation Answer. He is advisor to the American Board of Chelation Therapy, and examiner for all chelation physicians, being responsible for Peer Reviewed Chelation Therapy in Arizona.
AAM: Dr. Gordon, thank you for speaking to us today about the need for chelation in our modern world; and for offering to give a little background about yourself, your credentials, and why you are described as the father of chelation. Dr. Gordon: I am considered by many to be the father of chelation therapy. This is because I wasted thirty years of my life with extremely poor health and had disabling angina by age 29, forcing me to close my medical practice and go into radiology because I was too sick to stand. I had by that time, studied at the Chicago College of Osteopathy and received my D.O. degree. Then in 1964,1 studied radiology for a year at Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco. After one year at Mt. Zion, I became totally disillusioned with mainstream medicine's ability to deal with heart disease. They were at that time doing a surgery called Vineburg procedure, and this was absolutely leading to the death of a tremendously high percentage of patients, all of whom had the same symptoms I had. I was not ready to die! Furthermore, the benefits of the operation were later proven to be entirely non-existent. Therefore, I have spent my formative years studying chelation in great depth, because after approximately the 8th intravenous feeding of this remarkable compound called EDTA, I was suddenly able to leap over tall buildings in a single bound.' I knew immediately this was a therapy that deserved a lot of attention. There was no remaining possibility to patent anything, so it had to be studied by physicians. Therefore, I

I have subsequently been invited to serve on the Board of Homeopathic Medicine in Arizona and I am now starting my 3rd term having successfully concluded two 3-year terms in that capacity. I have served during those years as Chairman of the Peer Review Committee for Chelation Therapy in Arizona. I think the reason I am called the father of chelation is because, since chelation had such a profoundly beneficial effect on my own health, I wanted to find out how it worked. Furthermore, since we have helped approximately 10 million patients who have followed the protocol that I initially wrote and subsequently adopted by what is now ACAM, I have had to remain abreast of all developments in the area of metal binding in medicine. Many of the benefits of chelation are because it eliminates the burden of toxic heavy metals- which are proven to be excessively present in every human we test on earth today. As a result of this new understanding, we have now changed the name of the Board that I initially formed to train and certify physicians wishing to specialize in this exciting and very helpful new field of medicine. The American Board of Chelation Therapy has now become; The American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology.
Can you explain for us, the principles behind chelation? Dr. Gordon: "We now recognize there are
components of toxic metals - such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, antimony, tin, etc. - in virtually every illness. Even patients whose illnesses are believed to be primarily genetic, will nonetheless be improved when we lower their total body burden of toxic metals- metals that are elevated in our bones and tissues because of excessive pollution on earth. The principle behind chelation is simply that of binding metals- the word chelation came from the Greek word 'chele' which means claw, as in a lobster claw. The idea being that when the chelating or metal binding agent is introduced into the body, it would have a particular attraction or affinity to those toxic metals that otherwise may remain trapped in your body for years and possibly most of your life. The principle then, is that an exchange of electrons occurs between the electrons in the outer orbit of the metal binding agent and the electrons in the target metal to be removed. No one chelating agent can remove all toxic metals from our body. There are different chelating agents that may have better affinity for mercury; i.e., those that contain SH groups. The lead chelators seem to do

We must realize that at all ages, everyone will have improved levels of health, if we do something about keeping our body's burden of these toxic metals lower, despite the continued contribution from our water, food, and air. It is now recognized by Archives of Internal Medicine, an official journal of the AMA, in 2002 in an article entitled; All Cause Morbidity that mortality is lowered by lowering blood lead. This is the key then to anyone interested in the anti-aging implications of chelating or metal agents. They have done our research for us. They state 'morbidity and mortality is going to be lower, the lower you can keep your blood lead levels throughout your entire lifetime.' Thus, en-utero is a good time to start chelation and never stop it until you take your last breath. The reason I say this is because the moment you stop chelating, the heavy level of lead in the dust, air, food, and water will be greater than what you require in your bones and tissues. Therefore, you need to be excreting and removing more of the toxic metals than are coming into your body. Since longevity is increasing, it becomes extremely important to understand that chelation is necessary for those of us who want to be alive at 80 or 90, especially if we want to retain our mental faculties. There is so much research now, documenting that inflammation is a part of all of the neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and heart disease. Most people have no appreciation of the fact that the
synergistic effects that become exponential in their toxicity. In other words, some research indicates that lead can make mercury, under certain circumstances, 100 times more toxic to our body. Therefore, when people are concerned about rare metal toxicity issues, I always explain to them they can never go wrong taking the simple oral chelation product called Essential Daily Defense ®. By getting rid of the lead, mercury, and elevated levels of cadmium, as well as antimony, tin, arsenic, etc, that these chelating agents can help deal with, all toxicity from all metals is greatly reduced. What is so important to realize about chelation is the fact that your bones are gradually replaced. If you're a child, it may take 7 years to totally replace all of the nutrients that have lead to the production of your bone, and if you're older, it could take 15 years or more. This means that if your doctor only treats you for a month or two and you feel remarkably improved, your memory has come back, your energy level is up, and your angina is gone, he should never stop treating you! This is because the bones are turning over so slowly that they will have only reduced maybe a couple percentage of their total lead content which is, I repeat, an average of 1,000 times higher in every human being we have tested from any part of the planet. This means that the high level of lead is what is contributing to your death when you have an accident and are in the hospital unable to move. If you cannot move, bones tend to go into negative balance and release the lead, as they do in women going through the 'change-of- life.' This is now recognized to be a major contributor to the 17

L E T T E R OF T H E M O N T H I used Can-C for 4-months with amazing results. My vision in my left eye improved from 20/40 to 20/25, and upon renewal of my driving license, the eye glass restriction was eliminated. With less glare and near perfect vision I now drive in the evenings and early morning without glasses, much as I did in my youth 30 years ago! Since birth, my right eye could only identify the big "E" on the eye chart. After 4 months of Can-C treatment, I can now read the third line on the eye chart! Truly amazing to be nearly blind in my right eye for 60-years and now regain some sight! Dr. Richard Lippman, Emerging Health Technologies, Honolulu, Hawaii. Dear Dr. Lippman, thank you very much for this most encouraging testimonial. Normally, we don't repeat testimonials in the magazine, (although people can always find them at the website), but we were so impressed by yours that we felt we had to repeat it here. We have received a great deal of encouraging reports about the continuing efficacy of Can-C ? eye-drops, although it is true to say that it hasn't worked for everyone who has tried it, (but then- what product does?) Most people don't understand why they haven't yet heard about this breakthrough in their own local media, or why the drops aren't already approved in their own country. The facts are that it takes many years for medical products to become registered and approved and then publicised etc. Take for example Prozac ? , it was designed and patented in 1977, but it wasn't officially introduced to the world marketplace until 10-years later in 1987, even then it didn't make the cover of Time Magazine until 1990! At the end of the day, this is the forte of IAS, because we highlight the latest international research and then offer the same products as soon as possible. Just remember you heard it here first!

Phil Micans, PharmB Is there any indication of when the new weight loss drug- Rimonabant, manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis, will become available? As one of the most publicized and eagerly awaited new drugs in recent times, Rimonabant is likely to be branded as Acomplia ?. Essentially it has a unique new action, because Rimonabant blocks a protein in brain cells that allows cannabis, (yes- the active ingredient in marijuana), to work. It also blocks the body's own versions of cannabis, the so-called endocannabinoids. As Marijuana is supposed to increase appetite, this drug was developed to blocks the action of cannabis, so it seems logical that it should suppress appetite. To date, trials indicate that Rimonabant can reduce waist lines, lower fat levels, and even suppress the desire to smoke or drink, although not perhaps to any vast degree as the media frenzy suggests. Sanofi are expected to apply for approval early in 2005, it is anticipated that it will be 5-10 months after acceptance that it would be commercially available, my guess is sometime between summer and fall of 2005. When it becomes available- we shall stock it. Phil Micans, PharmB
I have been using Modafinil now for some months and I can honestly say I don't know how I coped without it. My work life is extremely hectic and I need to be alert when attending my various meetings or seeing clients. Modafinil definitely does the trick! There has been a lot of press concerning Modafinil recently with many success stories. But one thing concerns me though, should my company ask me to take a drug test will I test positive?
Phil Micans, PharmB We have not heard of any standard FAX O R D E R I N G +44 (0)208 I 8 I 6106
drug tests, currently in use that would test positive for the use of Modafinil. Whilst it is true that Modafinil is a "stimulant," it is in a totally unique class of drugs (called Eugeroics) and works in a completely different mode to the "primitive" amphetamines etc. It is of course always a good idea to list the substances you are taking (drug or nutritional) on the drug test form, so that they can be aware that you are using supplements for legitimate purposes etc.
I have always enjoyed getting information from you, and find it exciting to be offered choices that are not confined to borders, but that I can choose from a global perspective to serve my particular health needs. However, I must tell you that I consider myself a "natural" person, and as such I like to only use products such as nutrition, vitamins and herbs etc. I appreciate that IAS offers many of these, along with drugs and hormones, but I find it confusing to sometimes one from another. Can you help me? It's a pleasure to help, and we understand and appreciate your views. I would just like to say that whilst a molecule may appear in nature, it doesn't mean to say that it is natural to the body! Often pharmaceutical extracts of plants/ herbs etc., can provide the precise molecule that the body is looking for, at the end of the day, there is nothing more natural to the body than a bio-identical hormone. As a pharmacologist, the definition of a "drug" is a substance with a proven use, that can make it "natural" or "alien." Still, I understand your predicament in comprehending which products are which. We have recently opened a website at: www.antiageing-nutrition.com which only deals in vitamins, herbs, aminoacids etc., so I do hope that is of use to you. Phil Micans, PharmB

My mother-in-law; Emmy Hugly, lives near Lucerne in Switzerland. She is 94 years-old, perfectly healthy, Parkinson-free for the last 15 years, and she has no intention of giving up! Her story is narrated briefly in my book; "The melatonin miracle" and also in my recent book published in Italy; "An average of 120-years and beyond". She goes shopping every day, and when we celebrate her birthdays, she loves dancing and playing the piano. I visit her from time to time, and make a record of her health and behavior with a videocamera. She loves welcoming visitors and journalists into her home, and they are all enthusiastically received! She prepares them excellent tea and serves it with no shaking hands, but that wasn't the case 20 years ago, when she had severe and rapidly worsening Parkinson's disease. Emmy is undoubtedly the longest melatonin-taking person in the world. She started in her early 80th year, after I told her about my experiments with aging mice and how the administration of nocturnal melatonin in the drinking water produced remarkable rejuvenation. It resulted in delayed aging and consequently, prolonged their lives. She asked me to give her the "pills" and she religiously followed my prescription. Of course, she is now taking TI-MEIatonin with zinc and selenium, every night.
By Walter Pierpaoli, M.D. ONLINE
The lesson we can learn from Emmy is one that I keep repeating at various conferences: the reversal of aging can be observed in 2-3-year living mice, but in order to see what happens in humans we must wait! Luckily for her, Emmy did not want to wait for a permit from the "regulatory bodies" in Switzerland to start taking melatonin; she wanted to live longer and Parkinson-free! According to the basic principles described by the great American anthropologist; Ashley Montagu in his famous book, "Growing young", Emmy is the living emblematic example of a neotenic (maintaining youth) person, born young and staying young until death. The opposite of typical necrophilic personalities of the depressed and negative are those who are born old are permanently old and age until the "liberation" of death. Now I am pleased to see that many people O R D E R I N G www.antiaging-magazine.com
follow Emmy's virtuous path, regaining their vitality every day, month and year.
Aging is simply a neuroendocrine program in the brain! The maintenance of hypothalamicpituitary-pineal directed hormonal cyclicity, (day-night, lunar, seasonal) and its constant synchronization with the variability of planetary laws, is the essential basis of health and life. Every instant of our daily lives is imprinted by solar and lunar cyclicity, from fertilization of the egg until the last breath of life. Life on our planet is shaped and inextricably associated with planetary and solar cyclicity. It is no wonder that its progressive deterioration, which is clearly represented by our growth, maturity, fertility and finally aging and death, is governed by extremely strong and genetically determined rules. This aspect is amply represented by the demonstration that the hormones which regulate fertility and reproduction are the same that control immunity. However, the dominance of the system gives priority to fertility and reproduction, in so far as nature has allowed a species to survive. Apparently, the logic of this fact encounters the illogical opposition of many doctors and scientists! It is a riddle to me, not my demonstration of a central life and death clock in the pineal, but the absence of any experiment from those who criticize my work! It is a fact, that any kind of criticism bears no fundament unless it is founded on the repetition of a "doubtful" scientific work with the identical methods, and on its publication in a reviewed journal. Did anybody replicate my experiments with melatonin and pineal grafting before they criticized me? No! This question must be addressed in-particular, to those scientists who, without any justification whatsoever, spread injury and false news by hiding behind the safety curtain of "prestigious journals." Their behavior must be condemned and made public, because their irresponsible and irrational attacks have produced an awful lot of damage to millions of persons around the world.

" Every instant of our daily lives is imprinted by solar and lunar cyclicity, from fertilization of the egg until the last breath of life" Why Does Melatonin Prolong Life? Melatonin prevents aging-related diseases, delays aging, and automatically prolongs life by simply impeding and postponing the progressive central, hypothalamic alteration of feedback hormonal regulation, as described beautifully by Professor Vladimir Dilman. It does so, not directly, but rather smartly, by maintaining youthful pineal function. In fact, night administration of melatonin prevents the aging pineal gland from producing it. This regular night order "does not only work" on the pineal to protect the "central hormonal director," but induces a recovery of its regulatory capacity to modulate hormonal cyclicity, to the extent that the pineal gland recovers its youth. This is most significantly demonstrated by my experiments, in which a young pineal gland grafted into a much older recipient induces very significant life prolongation. Although the grafted pineal is unable to produce melatonin by itself, it is the pineal itself that is the central "lifeclock". The aging pineal loses its
ability to produce a night peak of melatonin, thus being a clear signal of its own aging. We have now shown beyond any doubt that melatonin simply maintains the capacity of the young pineal to control cyclic release of all hormones, and it does this by maintaining and preventing pineal aging. Not only is the pineal our central "life clock", it also actively induces our aging in the course of its life, aging and death "program". Clearly, genetically and evolutionary originated mechanisms in the pineal gland modulate the course of our life, and also generate the signals at the end of our life program. This is shown in the experiments we reported in a recent work. The basic mechanisms for our aging must be sought in our pineal gland and in its links to the entire neuroendocrine network. We age because our "pineal network" is "programmed" to deteriorate and therefore we must use exogenous night melatonin in order to maintain its integrity, and thus prevent the typical course of the aging syndrome inside the pineal gland. Only natural melatonin can protect the pineal gland from programmed aging!
Pineal protection with melatonin means prevention of all diseases, including cancer! As extravagant as it may appear, the re-synchronization of pineal-directed central neuroendocrine, (hormonal) cyclicity and its maintenance with nocturnal melatonin starting early in life, will inevitably maintain youthful conditions and avoid emergence of number of diseases. Even under the stressful conditions of modern life and the impact of many environmental "aggressors" on our body's integrity, melatonin will protect our "surveillance system," namely the vast array of cells and factors in the body which constantly survey and adapt our body to the needs of the situation. The immune system is under total control of hormones, and the hormones are under the total control of the "pineal network." How is it possible to conceive the emergence of diseases under a condition of perfect immunological balance? This does not mean that melatonin is a panacea for all diseases, although it can help prevent them. In the event diseases have occurred, we can set up a very 23
powerful emergency resistance system based on a series of immunopotentiating agents apt at "resetting the central clock," hence making it suitable to delay and even arrest the course of the disease, be it a neurodegenerative disease, (such as Parkinson, multiple sclerosis etc.), a cardiovascular diseases or even cancer. This holistic concept of medicine has now found its biological evidence.
My view of melatonin and its intrinsic nature After consideration and long meditation on the possible mechanisms of melatonin and its role in nature, I matured the conviction that melatonin possesses many levels of activities, which have been acquired in the course of evolution. As the great scientist Sir Peter Medawar used to say: "It is not molecules which evolved, but simply the use to which they are put." This means to me that melatonin, together with other molecules I am now identifying, certainly possesses some effects of minor value, such as an antioxidant, or via receptor-mediated activity in the brain, but as melatonin is a very
ancient molecule in the evolution of life on our planet, its true nature is totally unknown and goes beyond our knowledge. It goes back to the origin of life and how light and darkness created the "life clock." Melatonin, thanks to its cyclical structure, to the presence of an acetyl and methyl group, must possess a mysterious bioenergetic potential, which we are totally unable to perceive and understand. It is really a clue to the Creation! Therefore, it is no wonder that its role and effects cannot be dissected by a number of "specialists," but only unified by a global biologist. Perhaps the next Stromboli Conference on Aging and Cancer (Ed.- June 5-11, 2005), is a suitable place to unveil this new dimension of life and death, in order that we can better adapt to the destiny of mortal mammals. After all, achieving very old age without disease is our ultimate goal.
The ultimate defiance and my bet on the future What is going to happen? I bet that only a limited number of individuals

will be aware of the simple "melatonin message," because the complication of nature and not its logical interpretation is the current fashion. Unfortunately, the gap between those who understand, and the stubborn opponents, widens every day. Let us wait and see. We are far ahead - "beyond melatonin", in so far as melatonin has succeeded in lighting our brain, has enabled us to escape the traps of "modern medicine." At the same time, the use of melatonin to protect our pineals and prolong a diseasefree life, allows us more time to understand, and apply to the severely ill, the blessing of our new innovative medicine. This can be achieved by making use of those molecules emerging from the brain "swamp" which, like melatonin, still maintain the healing power conferred to them by nature. They are not drugs, they are life itself! But that is a story for another day. â&#x20AC;˘ To read the complete article with all clinical references, please go to: http://www.antiaging-systems.com/ extract/melatoninprolongs.htm

Anti-depression is a phrase recognised by everyone, and everyone at sometime in their life comes into contact with anti-depressants. But all too often "mainstream" medicine looks for a simplistic approach, knowing that often the brain chemical serotonin is lacking, and so drugs such as Prozac are prescribed, which for many people is highly effective. But there are many other reasons why people may be depressed, and these can include other neurotransmitter imbalances, brain energy itself (a lack of oxygen, glucose uptake or blood circulation), and even a lack of specific hormones. There are a number of different approaches for this condition and we offer some of the class leading products below.
Milnacipran - brand name Ixel is being heralded as 'miraculous treatment' in the fight against Fibromyalgia and Lupus. It is believed that the combination of Milnacipran's norepinephrine and serotonin enhancement action has pain-killing and mood lightening and calming effects. Therefore, Milnacipran is also a wonderful new weapon in the fight against both depression and pain.

Stress & Anxiety The plague of the 21st Century, stress can ail to often be a regular part of modern life, plus sometimes we are not aware that we are under stress as we go about our everyday lives in built up cities. But then when we retreat to a quiet, carefree place, like on vacation, then we realise how much pressure we are always under. Our ancestors did not have to cope with such "constant" stress, for them the issues were much more "on or off'. Today stress and anxiety can lead to permanently high levels of the "dark hormone" Cortisol with its resulting damaging effects. There are a number of different approaches for this condition and we offer some of the class leading products below.
