Introducing the Latest Health Breakthroughs in Longevity Science
Volume 3, Issue 7
Editor’s Note:
The information presented in this newsletter is changing the way doctors and health
professionals view the aging and disease processes of the human body. Researchers
worldwide are coming to gripswith the fact thatmainstreammedicine as practiced today
has given us some great gifts, but also has some significant problems.
Instead of going to the hospital to get well, many will die from what they get after
they are admitted. Your doctor prescribes you a medicine designed to help your condition,but
to your dismay,the pill comeswith a list of side effects amile long. Evenworse yet,
the elderly are overtreated, and overmedicated by the very medical system we have
come to depend on for wanting to live a longer healthier life. Yes, we nowlive longer,but
is the quality of life worth living? Is anyone really looking forward to growing
old?
Our intention is not to criticizemainstream medicine or the well-meaning doctors
found around the world today. Instead, we are making this vitally important information
available to you because we feel that it is to your benefit to understand that your
health is yourmost valuable asset.
We also feel the information presented will help to catapult your body’s ability
to heal itself and keep your body and mind operating at your maximum, peak ability
far into the future regardless of your current age!
IS IT POSSIBLE TO FIGHT OFF EVERY SIGN OF AGING
including fatigue, arthritis, skin complaints, high cholesterol
muscle pain, poor digestion,mental fuzziness and blocked arteries?
Before you say “YES OR NO” consider
Paradox in Disease Theory and
The Confession of Louis Pasteur
Mainstream infectious disease medicine practiced
today is based on the “germ theory” as put forward by Louis Pasteur (1822- 1895).
His theory viewed the body as a sterilemachine that will operate properly unless
a foreign substance is introduced. Therefore, it is thought that when specific microbes
enter the body, they produce a specific disease. In an attempt to correct the imbalance,
antibiotics and other medicines are used to destroy these organisms. No microbes,
no disease. It was believed that health is restored only if there are no germs present
that might cause disease.
In contrast, the famous French physiologist, Claude
Bernard (1813- 1878) focused on the importance of the body’s internal environment.
In contra
|
diction to the then current doctrine of Pasteur, he taught that microbes (e.g.,
bacteria, viruses) could not produce disease unless the body’s internal environment
was unbalanced and susceptible for the development of disease. Bernard’s theory
was that the whole must be sick before any germ can make us ill.
Renowned microbiologist, René Debous agreed with
this basic principle, saying, “Most microbial diseases are caused by organisms present
in the body of a normal individual. They become the cause of disease when a disturbance
arises which upsets the equilibrium of the body.” Debous, like Bernard, thought
it is not the presence of bacteria or viruses that cause disease; it is the imbalance
of the body’s
|
|
|
| |
|
|
normal functions that fails to hold the microbes in check. Even today, more andmore
doctors and researchers know that microbes are always present. Some of these are
harmless and others have harmful potential. Some of these microbes are absolutely
necessary to allow the body to function properly; they are only able to cause disease
if the body is in a weakened or upset state. Although some microbes with harmful
potential can cause disease in even the healthiest persons if a significant dose
of the microbe is contacted, those with strong immune functionmay completely resist
infectious manifestations or develop onlymild infectious symptoms.
Furthermore, an improperly balanced bodily environmentmay
lead to a compromised immune system and more serious disease. Degenerative diseases
that lead to chronic failure of body tissues or organ systems result largely from
an unstable condition of the internal environment. Once the body is in a weakened
state, the tissues can be secondarily affected by diseasecausingmicrobes. Interestingly
enough, even Pasteur himself condemned his own theory on his death bed saying: “Bernard
is right. The microbe is nothing. The environment is all important.”
The Free Radical Theory
“We know that most degenerative diseases are linked to free radical damage”
– James
F. Balch,M.D.
Even more importantly, in 1954, Dr. Denham Harman
described his free radical theory of aging and disease. He said, “A single common
process, modifiable by genetic and environmental factors was responsible for aging
and death of all living things.” He also went on to say, “Aging is caused by free
radical reactions which may be caused by the environment, from disease and intrinsic
reactions within the aging process.” At that time, Dr. Harman's work was, for the
most part, ignored by the entrenched medical establishment. They were still convinced
that disease must come from outside of man as represented by Louis Pasteur’s germ theory.
However, many of today’s medical minds are slowly
changing.Many scientists, doctors and researchers working
|
on the cutting edge of this new technology now agree that the free radical theory
as described by Dr. Harman represents one of the most important discoveries in modern
medicine. It represents a clear view into the aging and disease process of the body
which is allowing doctors and researchers to make great strides in helping us live
a longer, healthier life.
The DangerousWorld of Free Radicals
Think of them as internal terrorists roaming your
body, looking for cells to destroy, depriving tissues of blood flow, preventing
the removal of plaque and fats from your system. They’re unstable oxygen molecules
that come with every breath you take and, like terrorists, they can be hard to find
and even harder to destroy.
Free radicals damage the body’s DNA (the body’s genetic
code) by injuring or breaking the chemical bonds between the DNA molecules. As more
damage builds up in the DNA strands, the DNA-coded messages begin to be improperly
translated and cellular function goes awry. It doesn’t help that oxidation is caused
by everything from the air you breathe to the foods you eat to environmental chemicals
that can’t be controlled. A body in the grip of free radical damage is susceptible
to a host of life-threatening diseases and premature aging.
Ever since Pasteur proposed the germ theory of disease,
the race has been on to find and conquer dangerous organisms that invade the body.
As little as thirty years ago, it was thought that living cells did not harbor reactive
oxygen species. The idea was that free radicals were so unselective and unstable,
they couldn’t exist in a living system.
Today, scientists agree that aerobically respiring
(alive) cells produce two kinds of radicals, the good-which need to be nourished-and
the bad, that can cause irreparable destruction. The trouble is that the body can’t
fight the bad when it’s compromised by any number of outside contaminants. Your
body has antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase and glu-
|
tathione peroxidase that moderate the harmful effects of free radicals. But when
bombarded by environmental sources of free radicals such as smoke, alcohol, air
pollution, etc., these natural enzymes are not enough to defend against the continuous
onslaught of natural and environmental free radicals.
And if that’s not enough, here is what Dr. James Balch,
M.D. has to say about our oxygen supply, “Oxygen is the source of our “life-energy,”
but there is a problem. We aren’t getting enough of it. The oxygen-producing forests
are being destroyed. Modern industrial technology is polluting the air, further
depleting the Earth’s oxygen supply. In the past few hundred years, the oxygen content
of our atmosphere has decreased by almost 50 percent.
It is common medical knowledge that most diseases
will not thrive in an oxygen-rich environment. That has been proven in the case
of cancer. If there is enough oxygen in the cells, cancer and other degenerative
diseases cannot exist.
Free Radicals and Aging
“As antibiotics in the last fifty years of the twentieth
century helped cure many infectious diseases, so antioxidants will affect a cure
of many supposedly incurable diseases in the twenty first century and slow the aging
process dramatically”
– James F. Balch, M.D.
Research by biogerontologists indicates that aging
takes place because of destructive cellular changes brought on by free radicals.
Professor Rajindar Sohal of the Department of Sciences at SouthernMethodist University
in Dallas concluded, following the examination of recent free radical studies, “There
is enough evidence to give good credence to the free radical theory of aging.”
You Are a Lot More ThanWhat You Eat!
Eating a balanced, low-fat diet rich in natural substances
that fight free radicalsmay be enough for people in isolated areas where the air
is pure and there are no chemicals in the water. But most people live in populated
areas full of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
every kind of pollutant. Thus, the challenge is to find the right combination of
antioxidants that will inactivate free radicals.
The National Institute on Aging, among others, supports
and funds research on oxidative damage to cells and how increased damage accelerates
aging. According to Denham Harman, Professor Emeritus of Medicine at the University
of Nebraska Medical Center and the originator of the free radical theory of aging,
it is possible that as humans age, the energy generating function of their mitochondria
(tiny organelles within the cell that produce the majority of the energy in the
body) also declines.
Harman says there is a growing consensus within the
biogerontology community that aging results fromdeleterious cellular changes produced
by free radical reactions that happen during cell respiration and thus, damage the
mitochondria. Granted, we live approximately 27 years longer than we did in 1900,
but while major advances have been made in the area of preventing premature death,
there is still the challenge of preventing debilitating conditions that can take
the joy and value out of living to seven or more decades.
Note: Please continue reading, because you will soon
discover, if you use the information in this newsletter, there aremanywonderful,
exciting benefits to be gained by slowing the aging process. Besides looking and
feeling your best, you’ll save a tremendous amount of time and money by keeping
yourself away fromthe doctors and hospitals as much as possible.
Initial research showed vitamins E and C demonstrated
remarkable protection against free radicals, and we certainly recommend you use
them religiously. But they are simply not enough! Heart disease and stroke killed
875,922 people in the United States in 2000. According to figures provided by the
Statistical Research and Applications Branch, your probability of developing cancer
(all races, both sexes, ages 0 to 95) is a startling 43.26%!With figures like these,
it would seem that we are losing our battle with the internal terrorists.

Meet the Free Radical Killers . . . the Curcuminoids!
To fight a strong enemy, you need an even stronger
weapon, and one has been at hand for over a thousand years. In ancient times, it
was used as a dye and spice as well as a medicine. Its use in Chinese medicine dates
back to the 7th century. It is listed as a medicinal plant in an Assyrian herbal
codex dating 600 BC and was one of the herbs mentioned by the first century Greek
herbalist- physician, Dioscorides. You probably have a bottle or tin of it on your
spice rack. In fact, youmay have used some to add a little zing to your food lately
without realizing you were helping to protect your cells in the process!
You know it as turmeric (or, as we will refer to it
in this article, curcumin). far beyond its piquant flavor and brilliant yellow color.
The real force in curcumin is in the beneficial phenolic compounds known as curcuminoids.
There are three curcuminoids that scientists have identified: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin
and bisdemethoxycurcumin.
Besides these highly valuable phenolic compounds,
turmeric also contains a very potent antioxidant peptide identified as turmerin.
In at least one experiment, this incredible little peptide has been shown to exhibit
more antioxidant fire power than the curcuminoids. These components of turmeric
have been concentrated into a powerful, unified extract containing no less than
95% of the active medicinal components. Think of themas your all-powerful compounds
that deactivate marauding free radicals like an internal, never-resting police force.
Antioxidant Functions of Curcuminoids
“Turmeric and its active constituents, the curcuminoids, have antioxidant properties
that effectively inhibit free radical damage in both in vitro and in vivo conditions.”
– Vladimir Badmaev, M.D., Ph.D.
Curcuminoids have been scientifically proven to perform
the following several antioxidative functions:
|
 |
Anti-inflammatory action |
|
|
Antimutagenic |
|
|
Antithrombotic action |
|
|
Hepatoprotective action |
|
|
Antimicrobial action |
|
|
Antiviral action and |
|
|
Antiparasitic action |
In 1995, curcuminoids were defined as a strong bioprotectant
agent by researchers Vladmir Badmaev, M.D., Ph.D., and Muhammed Majeed, Ph.D. As
you shall see, curcuminoids are true bioprotectants in every sense of the word.
Curcminoids not only stop the progress of free radicals; they can actually prevent
themfromoccurring in the first place. While all curcuminoids are antioxidants, a
standardized unified extract is the strongest, most concentrated free radical destroyer.
Add other ingredients proven to work synergistically with curcumin extract and you
have the most powerful bioprotectant you can buy.We’ll get to that “synergistic
bioprotectant” in a minute. First, you need to know about the most important antioxidant
properties found in curcuminoids:
Anticancer Benefits of Curcumin
“The anticarcinogenic activity of turmeric extract and curcuminoids may be in part
explained by their well-researched ability to prevent genetic mutation, or mutagenesis.”
– Vladimir Badmaev, M.D., Ph.D.
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that effectively
prevents precancerous changes within DNA and may prove to interfere with enzymes
needed during cancer promotion. Since curcumin reduces inflammation by increasing
production of natural cortisone produced by the adrenal glands, it may also inhibit
cancer formation in the colon. Recent animal studies showed a significant decrease
in tumor growth with the long-term administration of curcumin. Moreover, clinical
studies have shown that curcumin-based ointments were very effective in helping
to treat the side effects of skin cancer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Curcumin was also tested in patients with oral cancer.
Some of the patients responded with dramatic improvement within days, while others
reacted gradually to the treatment. When curcumin was given to a group of chronic
smokers, it significantly reduced the urinary excretion of tobacco mutagens by approximately
40%. It also enhanced the enzymatic effect in detoxifying cigarette smoke, mutagens
and carcinogens.
In laboratory studies, curcumin exhibited strong antifungal
characteristics by inhibiting the production of aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are produced
by mold growing on certain foods, especially soy beans. Aflatoxins are potent biological
agents causing damage to the liver which could lead to liver cancer.
Curcumin is especially useful in the prevention and
treatment of colorectal cancer.Working in the same manner as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAID’s), curcumin suppresses two genes necessary for both the start and
spread of colorectal cancer.
Moreover, ongoing research at the renowned Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Research Center has shown the successful use of curcuminoids in the treatment
of precancerous leukoplakia. Their experiments indicated that turmericderived phenolics
also have anticancer effects in preventing and treating gastrointestinal and lung
malignancies.
Lowering Cholesterol
“Curcuminoids have the ability to neutralize some of the free radical activity that
is believed to be responsible for much of the cardiovascular disease present in
society today.”
– M. Majeed, Ph.D.
According to the International Journal of Vitamin
Nutritional Research, curcumin reduces cholesterol by interfering with intestinal
cholesterol uptake, increasing the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids and
increasing the excretion of bile acids.When 500 mg per day of curcumin was given
to ten volunteers, there was a 29% increase in beneficial HDL cholesterol after
only seven days. Furthermore, giving 500 milligrams of curcumin daily to healthy
humans also significantly lowered the
|
levels of blood lipid peroxides, i.e. free radicals. Curcumin is also significantly
safer than FDA approved cholesterollowering drugs, which can potentially cause liver
function abnormalities and muscle inflammation. (More on this further in this article.)
In 1997, the Journal of Molecular Cell Biochemistry
reported that curcumin has demonstrated in vivo, the ability to decrease total cholesterol
and LDL cholesterol levels in serum and to increase the beneficial HDL cholesterol.
Fats and lipids are particularly susceptible to oxidation, which results in the
formation of peroxide free radicals.
Curcumin strongly inhibits this reaction, and also
hinders the buildup of cholesterol plaques in the arteries. Curcumin fights atherosclerosis
by deactivating platelet-activating factor (PAF). PAF seals leaks in blood vessels,
in part, by stimulating fibrous tissue production. This tissue can serve as a platform
where cholesterol can accumulate into plaques. As well as helping prevent atherosclerosis
in diabetics, curcumin also helps stop the loss of protein through the kidneys.
Curcumin helps to relax blood vessels and lower blood
pressure, lessening the risk of heart attack in those undergoing steroid treatment.
It also reduces the amount of tissue damage suffered during an attack.
Cutting Alzheimer’s Disease Risk
An additional risk of elevated cholesterol levels
is the association between Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and high cholesterol. A study
at the University of Kuopio in Finland published in 2001 revealed that participants
in an extensive health study conducted over a number of years were twice as likely
to develop AD if they showed evidence of high cholesterol levels in middle age.
Thus, by increasing the good cholesterol and decreasing the bad, as curcumin has
been shown to do, greater protection against AD occurs, as well as against stroke
and heart disease.
Here’s another exciting link between curcumin and
AD prevention: When researchers studied the mortality and disease patterns of people
over 65
|
in India, they discovered that AD strikes only 1% of the over-65 population there
vs. 10% of Americans. This led to research as to why India has the lowest incidence
of AD in the world.
A recent study done at the University of California,
Los Angeles (UCLA) seems to have found the answer. It was discovered that the use
of curry spices (including turmeric) in much of Indian food benefitsmore than just
the palate. Sally Frautschy, study coauthor and associate professor of medicine
and neurology at UCLA says, “The study [suggests] that there may be a dietary factor
in the Indian diet...one such substance may be curcumin.” Frautschy goes on to say,
“We believe curcumin will do three important things: trigger clearance of amyloid
(a plaque-like substance that chokes brain cells) already present; reverse oxidative
damage contributing to memory loss [and] reduce toxic substances associated with
chronic inflammation.” (Research in rats has shown that a daily low dose of curcumin
slashed deposits of brain plaque by 50%.) “We suspect that curcumin is enhancing
the inflammatory clearance of the toxic amyloid, while blunting chronic inflammation,”
says Frautschy.
Curcumin Has Long Been Known as an Anti-Inflammatory
It works by naturally promoting healthy levels of
histamine and cortisone. Studies have revealed that curcumin is as effective as
either cortisone or the anti-inflammatory drug phenylbutazone in fighting acute
inflammation. An added benefit is that, in contrast to the potential toxicity of
phenylbutazone and cortisone, curcumin is virtually without side effects.
In a double-blind clinical trial involving patients
with rheumatoid arthritis, a mere 300 mg a day of curcumin provided just as much
relief as 1,200 mg a day of phenylbutazone. Improvements were noted in joint swelling,
morning stiffness and walking time. The results of this trial and other studies
reinforce evidence that curcumin is a major benefit in the treatment of painful
inflammation flare-ups of rheumatoid arthritis.

Finally, a recent study on curcuminoids done at the
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research Center revealed that curcuminoids operate by shutting
off the enzyme cyclooxygenase type II (COX2) at the gene level. COX2 is responsible
for manufacturing the inflammatory prostaglandins in the body.
By now, you might be as amazed to learn about the
amazing potential of curcuminoids as we were. This isn’t fiction- it holds up under
the close scrutiny of hundreds of studies and trials worldwide.What we’ve described
here is just the tip of the iceberg. Curcumin’s amazing powers are just beginning
to get public attention. All of the research and clinical trials seemed to prove
what ancient medicine has known for centuries: curcumin may be a major defense and
treatment for everything from small wounds to life-threatening chronic degenerative
disease.
What’s the Next Step?
Let’s face it, free radicals just won’t go away. Even
if you never ate anything you didn’t grow yourself, or moved to the Australian outback,
free radicals would find you. Or, you could eat curry morning, noon and night for
the rest of your life in an effort to get enough curcumin to ward off disease.
During the course of our research for this newsletter,
we reviewed and compared many of the different curcumin supplements that are available
on themarket today.We narrowed down the field to what we feel is the very best,
highest quality and most effective curcumin supplement found on the face of the
planet. Its name is PAIN & BRAIN™ Rescue Formula, and is manufactured by a small
company out of northern Arizona called NaturMed, Inc.
Why do we feel their product is superior to all the
rest?Well, first of all, a supplement is no better than the ingredients that go
into it. And PAIN & BRAIN™ contains the most powerful unified Curcumin extract found
anywhere. Moreover, PAIN & BRAIN™ comes in a large 180-count bottle, not a small
60-count like most other brands. Furthermore, PAIN & BRAIN™ is made with capsules
that don’t contain any
|
toxic animal by-products. They are 100%vegetarian. And evenmore importantly, this
powerful unified curcumin extract is combined with other synergistic ingredients
which puts PAIN & BRAIN™ into a class all by itself, a new incredibly powerful class
of supplements called “Bioprotectants.”
A True Bioprotectant
Remember the “synergistic bioprotectant?” How curcumin
became even more dynamic when delivered as a standardized extract and combined with
other ingredients? “Bio” is fromthe Greek word bios,meaning life or a living organism.
A true bioprotectant, then, is one that “protects” the life around it-in our application,
the entire human body. That’s PAIN & BRAIN™.
After reading this article, you may decide to surf
the net or check at your local health supplement store to find curcumin. If so,
you won’t have any trouble locating dozens of curcumin formulas, all promoted as
being the best, the most effective, the most potent, etc. What makes PAIN & BRAIN™
different from anything you are likely to come across is its proprietary formula:
Curcumin 95%- 1350 mg Daily Dose
First of all, each daily dose of PAIN & BRAIN™ consists of a powerful 1350 mgs of
pure curcumin. The formula contains aminimumof 95% turmeric in the form of curcumin.
Recent studies revealed that curcumin demonstrated the ability to not only scavenge
and neutralize harmful existing free radicals, but to prevent their formation in
the first place. Important Note: You would need to consume 100 grams a day— that’s
about 3 ounces—of raw turmeric to get a therapeutic dose of Curcumin equal to the
daily dose found in the remarkable Pain & Brain™formula.
Boswellia Serratta 65%- 600 mg Daily Dose
Boswellia serrata is a mediumsized, branching tree
that secretes an aromatic gum resin. In ancient times,
|
resins of this type were literally worth their weight in gold because of their healing
properties. In fact two of the three priceless gifts presented to the infant Jesus
by theWise Men were such resins - frankincense, which is boswellia serrata, and
myrrh. The other was gold!
Today, the primary use of boswellia serrata in medicine
is as an antiarthritic and anti-inflammatory agent. Boswellia serrata is the first
herbal remedy to have documented clinical evidence of its usefulness in the treatment
of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, low back pain, soft tissue rheumatism and
myositis symptoms.
This is good news because the traditional, anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAID’s like ibuprofen, naproxen sodium and salicyclic acid) can irritate
the gastrointestinal tract and are not suitable for long-term use. (There have been
no adverse side effects associated with boswellia serrata.) In one clinical trial
involving a mixed group of 175 rheumatoid arthritis patients aged five through 75,
97% reported moderate to excellent improvement. The treatment helped reduce pain,
swollen joints and morning stiffness; grip strength and physical performance also
improved. Treatment length was 3-4 weeks. Again, none of the patients complained
of any undesirable side effects. Boswellic acid has also been tested for use as
an Alzheimer’s preventative and as a treatment for bronchial asthma.
Ashwagandha Extract - 450 mg Daily Dose
Ashwagandha is often called “Indian ginseng” because it has many of the same amazing
properties such as enhancing mental acuity and motor coordination. However, ashwagandha
has a number of select activities of its own. So many, in fact, that it has been
classified as a true “adaptogen.” It has been used in many parts of the world to
treat eczema, psoriasis and external ulcers, as well as stomach problems and different
respiratory ailments. Research on ashwagandha has been centered on its impact on
organs and glands that have been compromised as a result of too much stress. Components
of ashwagandha strengthen the cerebral the
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
cortex, the adrenals, the hypothalamus, the heart and the liver. This action would
be of particular importance to people who suffer from energy-draining health problems
such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
Ashwagandha enables biological systems to withstand
greater amounts ofmental, emotional and physical stress due to its interaction with
certain areas of the brain, the spinal cord and the central nervous system. Trial
subjects who suffered from anxiety neurosis or reactive depression reported feeling
relaxation and well-being, yet still being alert. In addition, no untold side effects
have been observed in trial subjects who took ashwagandha for an extended time.
Based on the research already done, it seems that this exceptional adaptogen would
be the ideal, all-natural alternative to tricyclic antidepressants and selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s)-all of which carry a laundry list of contraindications
and the possibility of serious side effects.
Guggul Extract - 150 mg Daily Dose
PAIN & BRAIN™ also contains guggul. As far back as 1000 BC, Ayurvedic medicine identified
“coating and obstruction of channels” as being the cause of many diseases. Inmodern
terminology, this is fatty streaks in the blood vessels-or bad cholesterol. To counteract
this condition, ancient practitioners prescribed an amber-like resin from the bark
of the commiphora mukul tree. Its common name is gum guggul. In the 1960’s, research
began on gum guggul for its potential in the treatment of elevated blood cholesterol.
Research work was continued through the 1980’s at the Central Drug Institute in
India. Although these studies focused on a number of complicated properties and
activities of gum guggul as an extract solid, the bottom line was that results strongly
indicated gum guggul may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by inhibition
of platelet aggregation.
As a result of these studies, the first clinically
tested gum guggul product was produced. The original standardized extract of commiphora
mukul contains Z and E gugulsterones.
|
In more than two dozen clinical trials, guggul has
demonstrated its incredible lipid-lowering properties. It lowers total serum cholesterol
and plasma triglycerides, reduces LDL cholesterol and, at the same time, increases
good HDL cholesterol. When results of four clinical studies utilizing standardized
gum guggul were pooled, it was shown that, on average, 70% of the patients enrolled
lowered both their total cholesterol and triglycerides and that HDL increases ranged
from20-36%. Imagine the one-two punch of curcumin and guggul in knocking the fat
out of clogged arteries!
Another important feature of guggul is its ability
to accelerate the chemical burning away of stored fat by converting it into more
physical energy. This is accomplished by elevating the body’s “fat thermostat” a
few degrees. (This is not the same thing as raising body temperature.) The result
is slightly accelerated thyroid functions, which means an increase in the body’s
overall metabolic rate.
A major advantage of guggul is the relative lack of
negative side effects. Anyone who has taken traditional cholesterol- lowering prescription
drugs knows the potential for real problems. The “statin” medications (Atorvastatin,
Simvastatin, etc.) can cause side effects such as liver function abnormalities,
muscle inflammation, bloating and other gastrointestinal disturbances. Other medications
produce constipation, abdominal discomfort, bleeding tendencies, headaches and poor
absorption of fat soluble vitamins. Conversely, the clinical trials on guggul showed
that it was well tolerated by the participants, regardless of age, gender and overall
health.
Bioperine® - 15 mg Daily Dose
The fifth ingredient in PAIN & BRAIN™ is 5 mg of Bioperine®, which is the standardized
extract from the fruits of black pepper plants (piper nigru). Bioperine® is remarkable
in that it acts as a metabolic “paddle wheel,” selectively providing a more efficient
mode of nutrient transportation into the blood. Bioperine® enhances
|
the activity of curcumin 2000%! Bioperine® is the only source of piperine to obtain
patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds,
and the only source of piperine to undergo clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate
its safety and efficacy for nutritional use.
In our
opinion, this combination of powerful, remarkable ingredients puts PAIN & BRAIN™
head and shoulders above the competition. Furthermore, we asked the makers if they
could supply us with any anecdotal evidence as to the efficacy of their product.
We fully understand that this kind of evidence won’t stand up to scientific scrutiny.We
do believe, however, it is valuable information for people like you who are interested
in possibly using this wonderful product to increase your health and help ward off
the constant onslaught of free radicals. With that in mind, here are just a few
of those success stories provided to us by themanufacturer.
Notes From Users of Pain & Brain™
“Prior to taking “Pain & Brain”, my mind felt cloudy & fuzzy-I had to prethink my

eased off. This has given me pain for years, and my doctors have been unable to
help.What a relief. I still have some pain, but at least I’m able to exercise some
now. Thank you!”

“I have had an immune system disorder since childhood and diagnosed in 1986. I am
47 years old. I have suffered over the yearswith pain, fatigue, vision problems.
I have been taking the Pain & Brain product for over 1 month now and noticed almost
immediate improvement in symptoms. I have used many products, herbs, vitamins over
the years, but never encountered the kind of results I have with Pain & Brain. I
would highly recommend it to anyone as a “must” supplement. Thank you for Pain &
Brain. It performs as advertised with the results promised and more!”

“I am 70 years of age and work full time. I need to be mentally alert for my job;
and when you are in excruciating pain, it is especially hard to concentrate.When
I received your brochure describing Pain & Brain, I immediately ordered it and found
that the combination in the pills worked even better than the separate pills I had
been taking. If you continue to make them, I will probably take themfor the rest
of my life.”
– Bernice Arnold, Addison, IL
I will never again underestimate the power of herbs. I most definitely credit your
product to clearer skin and increased energy. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate
these God-given herbs to reverse years of toxic build up. I am so glad I ordered
your six-month supply because I am sure I will be on your product for the rest of
my life.”
– Franklin Berry
“I have usedmany different supplements during many years (30) and they have proved
to be helpful, but Pain & Brain has proven to be exceptional, especially because
I suffer from fibromyalgia. Being very knowledgeable about natural and alternative
medicine, I tried everything because regular medicine is at a loss to effectively
treat fibromyalgia. Pain & Brain has been a true godsend in alleviating my sufferings
and things slowly getting better which is a great improvement over constant deterioration.
I don’t understand how it works to help fibro but the truth is I don’t care. It
works and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

True peace of mind comes from knowing you have done
everything in your power to ensure a long and vibrant life. If you could get that
kind of protection from a single source, wouldn’t you take it? The ingredients in
PAIN & BRAIN™ have been scientifically proven and can dramatically boost your health
like you never thought possible. Because of its exclusive formulation of five of
the most important and effective phytonutrients, you can reap all of the benefits
with none of the risk.
Wouldn’t you rather be proactive regarding your health,
instead of just waiting for the next medical problem to come along? Do you want
to grow old before your time and spend years limping around complaining or worse
simply because you didn’t take action against what many doctors now believe are
avoidable degenerative diseases?
We could have gone on for another 10 pages about the
extraordinary properties of curcumin and the other ingredients that make up PAIN
& BRAIN™, but if what you’ve read already hasn’t convinced you, how about this:
we’re giving you the opportunity to take action by taking charge of your own health.
The free radicals are going to just keep on coming. Don’t you be one of their casualties.
So, if youwant to say good bye to any one of the dozens
of so-called hopeless problems doctors can’t solve. If you want to unlock and release
years of aging, stiffness and joint pain. If you want to free yourself from the
threat of Alzheimer’s and actually boost your brain power instead. If you want to
cleanse your vital organs and arteries and supercharge your entire body from head
to toe. If you want to destroy free radicals faster than they can destroy you. If
you want to look and feel your absolute best, then you owe it to yourself and your
loved ones to use the powerful information presented to you in this report.
