LIFELONG LUNG POWER!

It may be easier than you think when you follow the proven health tips outlined in this special report!

Since ancient times, physicians have recognized the life-sustaining importance of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system. Without the intricate process of respiration, waste carbon dioxide in your blood could not be exchanged for life-sustaining oxygen. Yet none of your body’s systems have been so prone to illness and disease.
Who hasn’t been plagued by a deep, burning cough that rumbles with thick, mucous congestion? Who hasn’t experienced the discomfort—and indignity—of a nose that runs like a faucet? Who hasn’t suffered from sinuses so inflamed and swollen that even the slightest movement is agony? Who hasn’t experienced

blocked bronchial tubes and a sore scratchy throat?
At one time or another, we’ve all fallen victim to cold and flu symptoms. But there are those who suffer even more each and every day. Perhaps you’re one of the unlucky ones who fight a daily battle against chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or constant respiratory infections.
You’re not alone. There has been an unprecedented growth in the number of serious lung problems in the United States, most caused by two environmental culprits that work hand in hand to attack your lungs, nasal passages, sinuses, and
(continued inside)

It is virtually impossible to avoid the environmental pollution and allergens that can cause respiratory problems and life-threatening diseases. That’s why it’s so important to take steps to cleanse, protect, and fortify your lungs with the right nutrients.

Editor’s Note:

Until recently, the relationship between nutrition and respiratory disease has not received much attention from the medical establishment. But new evidence from molecular biology and epidemiological studies indicates that there may be a link between proper nutrition and the long-term prevention of many chronic lung ailments. Even smokers who get the antioxidant benefits of proper nutrition seem to have less incidence of lung disease.
That’s why the researchers at the Institute for Vibrant Living have invested much time and effort in the development of a full-spectrum, supplement dedicated to lung health. So give your lungs the daily protection they need with SECOND WIND™. It could be the most important step you can take to stay healthy in a polluted world.

bronchial tubes. If not stopped, they can cause disease and shorten your life.

PARTICULATE POLLUTION AND ALLERGENS ARE MAKING AMERICA SICK TO DEATH!

While modern life has brought many blessings, it has also been a curse. According to current American Lung Association statistics, pollutants made up of tiny solids and aerosols suspended in the air we breathe cause ...

	INCREASED inflammation of lung tissue in otherwise healthy adults.
	INCREASED severity of asthma attacks that require hospitalization.
	INCREASED damage to the small airways of the lungs.
	INCREASED risk of dying from lung cancer and other acute respiratory episodes.

The truth is: DIRTY AIR CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE! Even if you don’t contract a fatal lung ailment, chances are you

already suffer from one of the following respiratory problems caused by auto exhaust, chemical emissions from factories, and smoke from smoldering landfills.

RAMPANT ALLERGIES!

Did you know that allergies are out of control in America today? Otherwise healthy people are developing life-altering allergies by the millions.

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, allergies plague more than 50 million Americans—that’s more than half of the U. S. population! Allergies represent the 5th leading chronic disease in our country today. It is estimated that allergies cost our society as much as $7.9 billion per year ($4.5 billion spent on medical treatment and $3.4 billion in lost productivity).

ACUTE ASTHMA!

Asthma is also on the rise. The incidence of this disease has increased 75% in recent years. Approximately 20 million people of all ages suffer from asthma in the United States. Asthma attacks now account for one quarter of all emergency room visits. Sadly, there are over 5,000 deaths annually from asthma attacks.

MUTANT FLU!

Influenza, commonly called the flu, is also reaching epidemic proportions. Marked by high fever, chills, muscle aches, sore throat, and severe lung and bronchial congestion, new strains of the flu have become resistant to treatment because of our overuse of antibiotics, and particularly in elderly people, can cause death. The flu has

become such a national health concern that some immunologists fear an outbreak similar to the one that killed millions at the end of World War I.

THE ODDS ARE AGAINST YOU! IF YOU DON’T ALREADY SUFFER FROM RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS YOU PROBABLY WILL!

     Unfortunately, the bad air that’s killing us can’t be avoided. Outside, your lungs are treated to a toxic cocktail of city smog, belching incinerators, dust laced with fertilizers, and many pollutants too numerous to mention here. With every breath of lifegiving oxygen, you also get carbon, heavy metals, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.

     And don’t think for a minute that you’re safe inside. Even the air in your home is tainted with pollution. Fumes from your carpet, furniture, and cleansers emit Benzene, Formaldehyde, Trichloroethylene, and other dangerous chemicals. Pet dander, spores in your heat ducts, and the microscopic feces of dust mites also pose a threat to your respiratory system. And then there’s radon, a deadly, invisible gas causing lung cancer, that seeps into many homes from the ground.
     Airborne pollution is an ever-present health hazard— inside and out— that causes your immune system to falter. It makes your nasal passages, bronchi, and lungs irritated, inflamed, and susceptible to infection.

     But the good news is ...

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SURRENDER TO LUNG DISEASE!

There is a way to fight back!

The research scientists at the Institute for Vibrant Living (IVL) have developed an all-new nutritional supplement called SECOND WIND™. You won’t find more potent protection for your respiratory system. A unique formulation of 9 herbs and other natural ingredients, SECOND WIND™ ...

WORKS WITH EACH PART OF YOUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM TO HELP YOU BREATHE EASY!

     Simply put, your respiratory system consists of three parts, the nose and nasal passages, the trachea and bronchi, and the lungs.

     Air enters the respiratory system through the nostrils where it is warmed, filtered, and moistened. The nasal passages are lined with a membrane that secretes a sticky fluid called mucous. Along with tiny “hairs” called cilia, the mucous is your body’s first defense against foreign invaders. Together, they trap dust, bacteria, and other contaminants before they can further penetrate your body.
     Next the air travels through the throat to the trachea, a cartilage tube, also lined with ciliated mucous membrane. Normally, what contaminants get by the nasal passages, are caught in the trachea and moved by the cilia back to the throat in the form of phlegm, ejected from the air passages and sometimes swallowed.

     The trachea divides into two tubes called bronchi that route air to each lung. The bronchi further divide and subdivide into smaller bronchial tubes that resemble the branches of a tree.
     Once the air reaches the alveoli of the lungs, tiny air chambers that resemble bunches of grapes on a vine, the oxygen

Indoor air pollution can cause or worsen symptoms of lung disease. Here are ...

6 Tips to Protect You and Your Family From Sick House Syndrome

	KEEP YOUR HOME SMOKE-FREE. Tobacco smoke increases the risk of lung cancer, respiratory infections and other lung diseases.
	CHECK FOR RADON. Radon is an odorless, invisible gas that can cause lung cancer. Check for the presence of radon with a home test kit or call a professional. If radon is present, you may need to install a special vent.
	VENT COMBUSTILE GASES. Make sure your chimneys and furnace are properly vented. Use an exhaust fan over a gas stove. Don’t use portable kerosene heaters inside.
	AVOID CERTAIN SCENTED CANDLES. Some manufacturers still use lead cores in their wicks. The lead particles can become airborne and inhaled.
	LET YOUR HOME BREATHE Don’t keep your home sealed too tightly. Paint, carpeting, cleaning agents, and plastics can emit dangerous gases such as Formaldehyde.
	GROW HOUSEPLANTS. NASA tests show that some houseplants actually remove dangerous gases from your home.

All-natural Nutritional Supplements May Reduce Certain Health Risks for Smokers!

The scientific evidence is irrefutable: smoking is very bad for your health, often leading to cancer, emphysema, and other chronic respiratory problems. If you’ve tried and tried to quit but just can’t, take heart. There’s an important step you can take that may lessen the damage caused by smoking: make SECOND WIND™ part of your daily routine.
Like no other nutritional supplement on the market, SECOND WIND™ works in your body to help counter the negative and potentially deadly effects of smoking. For example, some research indicates that certain ingredients in SECOND WIND™ may actually offset the carcinogenic effects of smoking. Furthermore, these same ingredients may lessen smoking-induced attacks of chronic bronchitis and thin the thick mucous associated with emphysema.
If you’re a smoker, do everything in your power to STOP. But if you can’t quit, at least give your lungs a fighting chance. Help fortify them with the right nutrition. Take SECOND WIND™ every day. It could make a big difference in the length and quality of your life.

is absorbed into the blood and carbon dioxide expelled when you exhale.

With your next breath, the whole process is repeated. An average human takes 10 breaths a minute. This adds up to 300,000,000 breaths in a lifetime! That’s a lot of wear and tear on your respiratory system.

Like many of our body’s remarkable life-sustaining systems, we often take the process of respiration for granted. You wouldn’t think of running your car for years on end without changing the oil and filters, inflating the tires, and keeping the engine in good repair. Yet, if you’re like most Americans, you don’t perform the routine maintenance on your respiratory system. The result?

YOUR LUNGS FALTER AND AGE PREMATURELY WHEN THEY DON’T HAVE TO!

     Like a car that gives out from pure neglect, if you don’t tend to your respiratory system, you’ll quite literally “lose your breath!” But it doesn’t have to be that way.

     Did you know that you don’t have to lose your “lung power” to aging? There are thousands upon thousands of people in their 70s and 80s who can run marathons, bicycle up mountains, bound up the stairs without wheezing, and have enough breath to blow a mean trumpet!

     Want to be one of them? Then ...

CATCH YOUR BREATH! TAKE THE SECOND WIND™ CHALLENGE AND LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST!

By making SECOND WIND™a vital part of your daily routine, you can take the steps necessary to improve your lung health for life—no matter what your age, no matter what your present physical condition. It’s never too late to start caring for your body as it cares for you!

Neglect your lungs and you could put your overall health— and maybe even your life—in jeopardy. You’ve already read how pollution and allergens can cause illness and disease. You’ve also read how your respiratory system works. Now you’re about to discover exactly how the unavoidable contaminants in the air attack your respiratory system and how ...

SECONDWIND™CAN HELP REPAIR THE RESPIRATORY DAMAGE AND HELP PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!

There are four basic interrelated problems that negatively impact your respiratory health:

1.) TISSUE INFLAMMATION.
2.) OVERPRODUCTION OF MUCOUS & IMPAIRED CILIARY FUNCTION.
3.) SMOOTH MUSCLE SPASMS AND IRRITATION WHICH CAN RESULT IN CHRONIC COUGHS.
4.) OXIDATIVE CELL DAMAGEWHICH CAN TRIGGER SERIOUS DISEASE.

When foreign substances invade your body, your immune system attempts to surround and kill the enemy without a major battle. And most times it succeeds. However, all the pollution to which we are constantly exposed may cause the immune system to rebel. When that hap-

happens, things go wrong—terribly wrong.

     Harmless allergens become ninja warriors out to take you down. Bacteria seem to take on super powers of destruction. And viruses may infiltrate every fortress throughout your body. In response, your immune system lets loose with a barrage of antibodies and your respiratory system becomes a battleground. Small blood vessels called capillaries constrict and weaken. Tissue becomes inflamed. And you experience a chain reaction of misery.

     The inflammation leads to high fever, sore throat, and a tsunami of thick, disgusting mucous. In its normal state mucous functions flawlessly to help rid your body of foreign particles before they are inhaled into the lungs. But when the mucous membranes become inflamed and infected, they overproduce. The result? A thick, gooey obstruction common to sinusitis, post-nasal drip, congested bronchi, and lung infections such as pneumonia.

     In such a state, the cilia also malfunction. They loose their mobility—like cars stuck in a traffic jam—and can’t move the mucous out of the body.

     But your body tries its best to “get the traffic moving again.” This can result in spasms of the smooth muscle surrounding the trachea and bronchi. You end up with a hacking cough that you can’t seem to shake.

     But things can get even worse. If the infection settles in the lungs, shortness of breath, fluid build-up, and other lifethreatening conditions could develop.

“ I’m 58 years old and a 100-mile bike ride through the mountains is nothing for me since I discovered the secret to young lungs.”

At my age, I should be slowing down. Instead I have the lung power to pedalmy bike upmountain pass—something I’ll venture to saymost teenagers couldn’t do!

What’s my secret? I exercise regularly to increasemy stamina, butmore importantly, I eat right. As a doctor, know that the right nutrition is essential to help keep my respiratory systemin peak working order.

That’s why I suggest you try SECONDWIND™. With all the pollutants, allergens, bacteria, viruses, and other irritants in the air, SECONDWIND™contains the nutrients needed to help clean and protect your nasal passages, bronchi, and lungs. It’s a great way to help retard the aging process and keep your body young for life!”

In many cases, what seem like temporary symptoms, can become a lifelong plague. The oxidative stress on your respiratory system produces dangerous free radicals which can mutate healthy cells to cause life-threatening lung diseases such as:

	ASTHMA - a severe breathing disorder marked by spasms and constrictions in the bronchi.
	EMPHYSEMA - a condition where the alveoli of the lungs are damaged to the point that they can no longer exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.
	CHRONIC BRONCHITIS - a condition where bronchial airways are inflamed and destroying and clearing mucous becomes difficult.

... and other respiratory problems leading to dysfunctional lung health.

Why risk these killers without at least taking some precautions? Why put up with such severe allergies that they control what you can and can’t do? Why wake up every morning with a nagging cough? Why suffer through another winter that’s an endless nightmare of colds and flu? There is something you can do to help overcome what ails you now and combat future respiratory problems.

Is Your Stomach Killing You Softly?

Digestive Stress Accelerates The Aging Process!

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 grips with the fact that mainstream medicine 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 comes with a list of side effects a mile long. Even worse yet, the elderly are over treated, and over medicated by the very medical system we have come to depend on for wanting to live a longer healthier life. Yes, we now live longer, but is the quality of life worth living? Is anyone really looking forward to growing old?
    Our intention is not to criticize mainstream 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 your most valuable asset.
    We also feel the information presented will help keep your body at your maximum, peak ability far into the future regardless of your current age!

Do you have any of these symptoms:

	Low Energy/Fatigue?
	Gas/Bloating?
	Water Retention?
	Weight Gain?
	Acid Indigestion?
	Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
	Nausea?
Would you like to have:
	Lots more energy?
	Better health and immunity from chronic diseases?
	Enhanced Mental Clarity?
	Ability to eat without getting sick to your stomach?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, read on.

You’ll discover one of the easiest ways in the world to fix your digestive system and in

doing so, fix your health!

The Center Of Your Body!

Did you know that your stomach is the center of your body? It’s true. In fact, your stomach is the “Kitchen,” or the “Oven,” for your body. Your stomach prepares essential nutrients from your food for metabolic absorption.

If you could build a Castle called Health, what would be its Foundation? And if you knew how to strengthen this Foundation—make it strong and supportive for a long, long time—would you do it?

What Causes Digestive Chaos?

1. Stress

2. X-rays

3. Antibiotics

4. NSAIDs

5. Mercury

6. Steroids

7. Pollution

8. Sugar

9. Birth Control
Pills

10. Parasites

continued ...

Are You Malnourished?

The Foundation to the glorious Castle of Health is simple: thorough and proper digestion of the foods we eat. Certainly we

must select the best diet we can among the food choices available in the modern world, yet even when we’ve done our very best to eat a healthy diet our bodies can fail to digest and absorb all the nutrients we’ve

taken in.
     A healthy diet in the absence of good digestion creates the illusion that we are getting the nutrition we need—even while we may be failing to assimilate critical dietary elements for well-being and disease prevention. You could be “eating healthy” and be malnourished at the same time!
     The secret to building this Foundation is to maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria in your stomach. To do this requires a good solid diet, but also a probiotic that maintains a healthy array of microbs to help digest and metabolize what you eat.
     There is one probiotic formula in particular that has surpassed all its competitors in potency, and is completely unlike anything you can buy off the shelf at any health food store. It’s called Vibrant Flora 15/50™.

Your Best & Strongest Health-Building Tool!

Vibrant Flora 15/50™ is the product of years of careful research by top scientists working in the field of health and nutrition today. It contains 15 strains of friendly bacteria that help build the Foundation of your Castle of Health, and make it strong.
Many people don’t realize that digestion is actually dependent on our symbiotic relationship with friendly strains of intestinal bacteria. Without the action of these tiny allies, we

wouldn’t be able to break down the large and complex molecules of some of the foods we eat. We would not be able to actually absorb the nutrients of our diet through the tiny capillary walls lining our intestines, regardless of how healthy our diet.

15 Bacterial Strains & 50 Billion Colony Forming Units!

Vibrant Flora 15/50™ not only contains a broader range of helpful bacterial strains than almost any other product of its kind; it also contains a far, far greater NUMBER of helpful bacteria. Each capsule of this remarkable product contains 50 BILLION CFU’s (colony forming units) of health-giving microflora, in a delivery system that ensures that they will arrive and thrive where they can do you the most good! These “friendly soldiers” form your valuable frontline in the battle for your health.

There’s A War Going On

You see, there’s a war raging at the very base of your Foundation of good health— your digestive tract is constantly being threatened by the presence of microorganisms that are NOT beneficial. Dangerous strains of bacteria and certain viruses, yeasts and molds can gain the upper hand and grow to outnumber the healthy bacteria in your intestines.

When that happens, your whole immune system can

decline! Your body fatigues more easily, you may age more quickly and you become vulnerable to infections and diseases not only in your digestive system, but in ALL of the systems of your body.

That’s why numbers count.

Most dietary probiotics that you can pick up at the grocery or health food store contain only three (3) strains of bacteria, and only three (3) million total of these little micro-soldiers.

But Vibrant Flora 15/50™

entirely unique in providing not
continues...
only a broader range of helpful intestinal flora, it also delivers a sound blow to the “unfriendly” microorganisms invading your gut by deploying 50 billion CFU’s of beneficial bacteria to win the microscopic war for good digestion.

Probiotic Means Pro-YOU!

The term “probiotic” refers to something that fosters or nurtures life itself. The beneficial microflora living in your intestines say “Yes” to your life, your energy level and your health by fostering good nutrition and keeping your defenses strong.

Fortifies Your Immune System

Vibrant Flora 15/50™ helps keep your immune system effective by keeping a healthy balance in place between the tiny germs doing battle inside you—

Since the intestinal tract is one of the primary zones in which the human body interfaces with substances from the outside world, about 70% of the immune system’s functioning is performed there. Making certain you have the right soldiers (good bacteria) in place, and in the right “troop strength,” (50 Billion Colony Forming Units – CFU’s) is critical to keeping the Foundation of the Castle of your Health strong!

Vibrant Flora 15/50™ can aid in the production

	of the body’s own, natural antibiotics and it can enhance the production of immune system cells.
	It may enhance the functioning of immune cells in general, and the activity of the “natural killer” spleen cells that stop tumor growth. So it not only increases the number of circulating immune cells, it makes them more efficient and effective as well.

A Boon to Good Nutrition, Vigor and Vitality

Yet there are far more benefits provided by this marvelous boon to good nutrition. Vibrant Flora 15/50 will help the Foundation of your Castle of Health stay strong so many ways!

Enhances Nutrient Absorption

	It can help you digest dairy products, wellsprings of great food value that they are, by breaking down milk sugars and helping you absorb protein, vitamins and calcium.
Decrease Bacterial Toxins
	By aiding regularity it can decrease the time the body is exposed to both the environmental toxins it would otherwise absorb from the food supply, and also the bacterial toxins and waste products that form when food remains too long in the intestinal tract.

Nutrients Easily Permeate Intestinal Wall

	Colon cells themselves can remain healthier and more efficient, because they are not hampered in their functioning by the presence and action of great numbers of harmful microflora and their toxins. Nutrients can literally get through the intestinal wall more easily, and into your bloodstream and other bodily systems.
Produce More Enzymes & B Vitamins
	It can enhance the production of the enzymes and B vitamins required to digest fats, making them easier to metabolize.
Fight h. pylori bacteria
	Vibrant Flora 15/50™ provides a type of bacteria believed to fight the presence of the h. pylori bacteria, which is suspected of being a primary cause of peptic ulcers.
Supports Cardiac Health
	It can also help bind cholesterol molecules to other substances in the intestines, allowing them to sweep out of the body rather than being absorbed by it. This can aid your circulation and your cardiac health!
Alleviates Common Digestive Problems
	By creating a healthy

Diabetes and thyroid imbalances, lactose and wheat intolerance, and even a sedentary lifestyle can make your digestive processes less effective.”

Digestive Effectiveness Diminishes With Age

Vibrant Flora 15/50™ boosts the digestive effectiveness that begins to wane as we age, and helps ensure that we actually receive the nutrition we think we are getting from our food.

Aging is a process that begins at birth—it’s not something that our bodies suddenly

start doing at a certain age. Since the digestive and regenerative capacity of youngsters is so high, we seldom notice the aging process until certain processes begin to slow down.

Malnutrition & Absorption of Toxins

Your body’s store of helpful, beneficial microflora tends to decline as you age. Researchers are trying to determine why, but we do know the result: improper digestion and disease states that come from malnourishment and the absorption of toxins.

The body also begins to produce lower quantities of digestive enzymes in response to food intake, and that makes it harder for the food breakdown and assimilation process to begin.

Damaging Microorganisms Create Pain & Discomfort

Undigested or partially digested food can “feed” the wrong kind of bacteria in your intestines, and create pain and discomfort. It can also throw the normal intestinal pH off, creating an abnormal environment

that plays host to additional colonies of damaging microorganisms.

Neither a too-alkaline nor a too-acid system is good for you, of course…but when the improper digestion of our heavily protein-based American diet shifts the intestine’s pH too far into the acidic range, a number of age-accelerating metabolic processes are initiated. The pH balancing quality of Vibrant Flora 15/50™ is a critical factor in helping your digestive tract act more youthful and efficient… and it can help boost your resistance to infection, as well.

Appetite Declines With Age

Other aspects of aging affect diet and nutrition. Your appetite tends to decline with age. Perhaps this is because our sensory organs, like the taste buds and the olfactory glands that

is related to declining energy requirements—but typically people will begin to consume fewer calories as they grow older.
     Glandular diseases that affect nutrition are also more common among the older set. Diabetes and thyroid imbalances, lactose and wheat intolerance, and even a sedentary lifestyle can make your digestive processes less effective.

     When these factors are introduced, your body and your health suffers due to declining nutrient intake, your immune system develops insufficiencies, you become more vulnerable to diseases—all because the frontline of your body’s nutritional defense system hasn’t been properly maintained by the beneficial microflora so abundant in Vibrant Flora 15/50™.
     Now consider how declining nutrient absorption due to the aging process actually robs your body of the nutrients it needs to rebuild itself every day, and you see the spiraling problem: as we age we are eating less, absorbing fewer nutrients, and therefore

gaining fewer chemical building blocks to shore up our Foundation of good Health.

Your Diet and You

There are other invaders, too, trying to shake that Foundation. Your nutritional uptake from the foods you eat is already affected before you begin your meal!
How? By the diminished quality of the modern food supply. The modern world demands that our food be easy to produce, disease resistant and have a long shelf life. Yet all of the herbicides and pesticides, all of the hormones and antibiotics, and all of the preservatives, artificial colors and flavor enhancers that are put into the food chain at some point to achieve this goal end up in you!

Nutritional Value of Food Declining

Many of the very things we do to the food supply diminish either the nutrient value or the safety of those foods—or both. Indigestion and diminished nutrient assimilation can result from the introduction of these substances, and the nutritional value of our meals declines even more.

Vibrant Flora 15/50™ can help protect you against these

ingestible environmental toxins, and help ensure that you get the maximum nutritional benefit from the good food that actually does reach your table.

     It can do so by keeping your system in balance, as nature intended, long before we added artificial additives and harsh chemicals to the mix!

     Now think of how your own lifestyle factors can affect your diet. Is it just too easy to fall into the sofa on Friday night, order a pizza and drink a few beers rather than fix a salad and blend a nutritious smoothie? Are you becoming more sedentary, letting the gym membership lapse and going for fewer walks in the neighborhood now that the kids are older? Did graduating from high school or college mean the end of thinking about your exercise program?

     Vibrant Flora 15/50™ can help make up for some of these—ahem—“behavioral lapses.” It introduces the right amount of the proper kinds of beneficial intestinal flora to achieve maximum digestive health.

Protective Value – Restores Balance

The ingestion of too much alcohol, sugar or refined starch can set off the proliferation of unhealthy bacteria in the intestine. Once again, Vibrant Flora 15/50™ can actually have a protective value when you have been over-doing it with your favorite dietary vice! It can restore balance and comfort

when your habits have caused discomfort and indigestion.

Regularity is another lifestyle issue, and one that is truly important to long-term health. Food is supposed to go through the system at a certain rate, called a “normal transit time.”

Some people may generally process food more quickly or slowly than others due to genetic factors, current metabolic rate or their level of physical fitness. Healthy, fit people tend to have a

generally faster, more efficient transit time for all of their food than do folks who are sedentary or who are challenged with health problems.

But an imbalance in intestinal flora can disrupt the healthy rhythms that typically guide your digestive tract’s functioning, and cause constipation or diarrhea. One can lead to capillary damage and diverticulosis, the other can lead to dehydration and advanced fatigue.

Vibrant Flora 15/50™ can help restore balance to your system when you suffer from these all-too common problems. It can alleviate many health issues—naturally.

Editor’s Note:

     If your liver didn’t continually filter, neutralize and eliminate the millions of metabolic trash bits and poisons in your blood, YOU WOULD BE DEAD IN A MATTER OF HOURS.
    BUT HERE’S THE REALLY GOOD NEWS...a clean liver can clear out 99% of toxins from your bloodstream before they seep into your organs. Because of your liver’s crucial role in preventing disease, itmust have the ability to detoxify your blood IMMEDIATELY. That’s why it’s necessary to keep your liver in tip-top shape. Love your liver and feel like you’ll live forever. That’s what I always say.
    So why not give your liver a boost every day with LIVER CLEAR™? It’s the single most powerful, protective shield you can offer your liver in a toxic, polluted world.
    For the secret to new energy, new vitality, and new resilience, read the findings in this report.

LOVE YOUR LIVER & LIVE FOREVER? (ALMOST)

PROBLEM: Modern life is attacking your liver with a chemical tidal wave that poisons your blood and destroys your lungs, bones, brain— every cell in your body—and robs you of lifelong health. Fight back NOW before it’s too late!

FACT: Your liver is such a critical organ that THE LENGTH AND QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON HOW WELL YOUR LIVER FUNCTIONS!

Why? Because your liver is the MASTERMIND of your body—the supreme detoxifying agent and blood filter. It’s your first and most powerful line of defense in a polluted

world. (That’s why the traditional Chinese doctors call the liver “the general in the army,” and why the oldest healing systems on earth ALWAYS CLEAN THE LIVER FIRST!)
Problem is: your liver is under 24-hour siege from environmental pollution, prescription drugs, chemical food additives, water chlorination, household chemicals,

pesticides, alcohol abuse and an overuse of animal protein.

     As a result, millions of Americans suffer from jaundice, viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Millions more suffer from liver related illnesses that attack the colon, kidneys, lungs and skin. And 500,000 people every year get their gallbladders cut out which potentially alters the body’s ability to digest fat.

     Just by living in a modern, polluted world, WE ABUSE OUR LIVERS EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY causing chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, headaches, elevated cholesterol levels, irritable bowel syndrome, neuromuscular diseases, chronic indigestion, allergies, chronic lung congestion, kidney failure, sexual dysfunction, joint pain, poor eyesight; the list could easily fill this entire page.

     The typical response to these symptoms is to take more drugs, which further compromises the liver’s ability to CLEAN THE BLOOD.

     What’s the answer? Instead of letting your liver fend for itself against the chemical tidal wave coming at it every day, now you can...

CLEANSE, PROTECT, AND HEAL YOUR LIVER THE EASYWAY!

For over five years, the researchers at the Institute for Vibrant LivingTM have studied the most potent liver protect

While many of the toxins that impair liver function—overuse of prescription drugs, over-the-counter pain relievers, alcohol, and animal protein—can be avoided, one of themost deadly, environmental pollution, cannot. That’s why it is so important to take steps to cleanse, protect, and heal your liver by natural means.

ing agents and scientifically developed a formula that will help detoxify and protect your liver FOREVER.

It’s called LIVER CLEAR™ and you won’t find a more potent, protective shield for your liver ANYWHERE! Before discussing this breakthrough formula further, it is important to first understand the physiology of your liver and why it is indeed “the general in your body’s army.”

Every breath of air, every glass of water, every plate of food, every drug, everything goes directly to your liver after it passes through your small intestine. Every second of every day, your liver filters, neutralizes and eliminates poisons in your blood. If you worked that hard 24-hours a day, every day of the week, what would happen to you? You would become...

OVERLOADED, OVERWORKED, CLOGGED UP, AND BURNED OUT —A REALWRECK!

     That’s exactly what’s happening to the modern liver and that’s true whether you live in the city, in the country or on an island. No matter where you live, you can’t escape this massive global toxic threat.

     Liver disease doesn’t catch up with you in a day. Cancers, heart disease, respiratory and kidney failures can take years to develop after your liver has failed to properly cleanse your blood. AND THAT’S PRECISELY WHY CLOGGED, TOXIC LIVERS ARE SELDOM, IF EVER, DIAGNOSED AND TREATED IN AMERICA UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE.
     Consider what the “general in the army” does for you, right now, while you’re reading this letter. The typical four pound liver per-

forms more than 500 bodily functions that are critical to your life and mine. Here are just five primary functions for a healthy liver...

	MANUFACTURES 1 quart of bile daily for the emulsion of fat.
	MAKES and breaks down hormones such as cholesterol, testosterone, and estrogen—plus 13,000 chemicals and 2,000 enzyme systems.
	ASSISTS in regulation of the blood sugar.
	FILTERS 100 gallons of blood daily through which all food, nutrients, drugs, alcohol and materials must pass. (Almost two quarts of blood pass through the liver every minute for detoxification. How’s that for hard work!)
	DETOXIFIES all endotoxins (internally produced toxins) and exotoxins (environmental toxins).

Here’s the heavy lifting your liver must perform…

     Every minute of every day the liver must detoxify all the pollutants, heavy metals, bacterial toxins, viruses and much of the body’s metabolic waste. Then, it must excrete the metabolized end-products in the bile fluid produced in the liver.

     If the bile flow is poor, the result is the back-up of liver toxins and especially in the body fat, and the brain and other tissues.

     If the bile flow is poor, bile

sludges in the gallbladder, and this leads to the formation of gallstones. When these are forcibly ejected from the gallbladder during its normal contractions, they may become lodged in the common bile duct or even the common pancreatic duct resulting in very serious pain, possible infection and even inflammation of the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas. Health officials conservatively estimate that 20 million Americans have gallstones, but that number could easily be 10 times that high – meaningmost of us.

Without enough bile, all the toxins coming into your body are not properly broken down by the liver and excreted. Instead, these dangerous toxins are recycled throughout your body and are deposited in ever increasing amounts in the body tissues, making your body a walking toxic repository. According to international liver expert and author, Andreas Moritz, “ALMOST ALL HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF REDUCED OR BLOCKED BILE PRODUCTION AND INEFFICIENT BILE TRANSPORT.”

And that’s when your health starts to unravel.

A clogged liver is simply unable to detoxify chemicals and keep your blood clean. Imagine, if you drove your car with super dirty oil (that was a quart low) and you never changed it. Eventually, you’d be driving somewhere and your car would start to sputter, backfire, give off plumes of toxic smoke and finally just break down.

On the other hand, if you keep your liver healthy and clean by using LIVER CLEAR™ you can

protect yourself against chemical poisons, disease and reap phenomenal health rewards including…

	Improved digestion…
	Reduction of allergies…
	Pain and stiffness reduction (especially in the low back)...
	Fewer colds and respiratory illnesses…
	Less dry, itchy skin and rashes…
	Better kidney and colon elimination and…
	MORE ENERGY THAN YOU EVER IMAGINED!

How much more energy could you enjoy EVERY DAY?

     Consider this: detoxification uses up over 80%of the amount of energy your body devotes to making new molecules. If your body enjoys a clean liver, (and your liver is your principle garbage collector) THEN YOU JUST FREED UP 80%more energy!
     And all of these remarkable health benefits are true whether you are 9 or 90.
     MAKE NO MISTAKE... your liver is one tough organ and the only one that can regenerate itself even if 25% of it is damaged or cut away. Yet, even at that, the liver can’t endure the chemical onslaught and perform its 500 daily tasks without daily help. So, what are you waiting for?

GETTHE LIVER PROTECTION RIGHTNOWTHATYOUWON’T HEAR ABOUT FROMYOUR DOCTOR (unless he or she is a traditional Chinese doctor)!

The LIVER CLEAR™ formula is designed to accomplish many

things starting with MAXIMUM PROTECTION FROM THE CHEMICAL TIDALWAVE...

THE POWER OF ALPHA LIPOIC ACID

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a nutrient that has been used in Europe for many years to support liver health and metabolic function. It has even been reported that ALA may help regenerate a liver that has been damaged by drug and alcohol abuse, environmental pollutants, and various diseases.

It is often used to treat hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other liver ailments as well as in cases of heavy metal poisoning or by hazardous industrial chemicals.

THE POWER OF MILK THISTLE

LIVER CLEAR™ contains the highest neutraceutical grade milk thistle which has been used as a liver remedy for 2,000 years. Research shows that compounds from the seeds help protect the liver against damage from alcohol and hepatitis and can even regenerate damaged liver cells. That’s why Commission E, the German expert panel that judges the safety and effectiveness of medicinal herbs for the German government, approves milk thistle as supportive treatment for cirrhosis and chronic liver conditions. The silymarin from milk thistle actually coats the liver cells and protects themfromtoxic poisons and inflammation.

THE POWER OF DANDELION

Dandelion root increases the secretion of bile, promotes cleansing of the liver, supports digestive function, helps with the elimination of wastes, and helps reduce the formation of harmful gallstones.

And the roots have been used effectively for centuries to treat jaundice, the yellowing of the skin that occurs as the result of a seriously malfunctioning liver.

THE POWER OF ARTICHOKE LEAF

Extracts of artichoke leaf have been found to stimulate bile production in the liver, and bile release in the gallbladder. At the same time, artichoke has been found effective in helping eliminate toxic wastes, normalizing blood cholesterol levels, and lowering blood lipids.

It has proven especially effective against toxins such as carbon tetrachloride and alcohol and it supports the regeneration of damaged liver cells.

THE POWER OF CURCUMIN

Curcumin has been found to inhibit carcinogens, such as benzopyrene (the carcinogen found in charbroiledmeat) and it stimulates the flow of bile, protects against toxins and helps improve the metabolism of fats.

THE POWER OF BURDOCK

Burdock is one of the best blood purifiers known to traditional medicine and can help clear congestion in the circulatory, lymphatic and urinary systems – which, in turn, takes some of the “load” off the liver. It’s also a little used antioxidant, so powerful it may help protect against cancers by helping control cell mutation.

THE POWER OF AMINO ACID BLEND

     The liver must immediately neutralize anything that produces ammonia in the body. The two biggest ammonia producers are ANIMAL PROTEIN and over-thecounter drugs including pain relievers, sedatives and diuretics.
     What’s the answer? Give up meat? Well, if you’re over 30 it won’t hurt you to cut back on meat and use it almost as a garnish instead of as a feast. (The late Dr. Atkins was right that you’ll lose weight on a meat diet, but your ammonia levels will soar... your cholesterol levels will skyrocket... and your liver will suffer big time.) You’ll look fit as a fiddle on the way to the graveyard.
     If veggies are not your friend, the amino acid blend found in LIVER CLEAR™ will come to the rescue. How? LIVER CLEAR™ contains Arginine, Taurine and Methionine.
     Arginine helps the liver to neutralize ammonia and break down fats. It stimulates the thymus gland and the manufacturing of T cells. This increase in T cell activity can be effective in fighting bacteria, viruses, cancer tumor cells, AIDS, chronic fatigue and other immune system-relat-

ed health challenges.

     Taurine is the major amino acid required for removal of toxic chemicals fromthe body. It helps to bind these chemical toxins as a component of bile and also through water-soluble acetates in the urine. Taurine is a key component of bile acids already produced in the liver.

     Together, these nutrients, herbs and amino acids constitute the most powerful liver formula on the market.

     Like nothing else can, LIVER CLEAR™offers the liver a protective shield against the chemical swimming pool we all live in... while it stimulates the liver to produce more bile and get the bile moving through the gallbladder which, in turn, helps aid digestion and cleanse the blood.

“My doctor diagnosed me with a swollen liver, a very uncomfortable condition. After running tests, he could find no obvious reasons for this condition. Instead of trying prescription drugs, which came with side effects, I decided to try a natural remedy. Liver Clear has made a difference. It has been

slow, but I notice that my liver has decreased in size. This has been without any side effects! Keep up the good work.”

“If you want to have a really clean liver you need to do proper liver flushes. However, this is not practical in some cases. It is also not advisable for everyday maintenance and this is where Liver Clear comes in. I have used it for over a year and have seen great results. My energy level is up, my weight down, digestion is better and my thinking is improved. My sexual level has increased and for the times that you ‘over imbibe’ your liver will be better able to handle the ‘overload’. Many thanks for a wonderful product!”

“I’ve had a suspicion something was not quite as it should be as far as my health is concerned. I felt this way for the last 19 years. After just my first two weeks of Liver Clear I knew what I did was best for my health. I feel GREAT!”
Jack Lee
Temple, TX

“I decided to try this product almost a year ago while I don’t have any liver problems. After reading what it was supposed to do, I decided it could have some benefits anyway. At best it would simply enhance my liver function and at worst it wouldn’t do much of anything. After a week of following the initial flushing regime, I then continued on a nominal maintenance of one tablet per day at breakfast. Within a few weeks I began to notice a slight drop in weight, energy levels were even better and my overall sense of physical well-being was also stronger. Over a period of 6-7

months my weight slowly dropped, I began getting slimmer. Starting at 232-34 lbs. (on a 6’2” frame) I’mnow at 210-212 lbs. (my target weight), all without any significant changes of diet or extra physical activity. My initial supply ran out about 6 weeks ago, I deliberately delayed renewing my supply to see if there might be a difference. Though slight, there has been. So, have concluded using Liver Clear as a maintenance supplement is very helpful. I’m ordering a new supply today. I have suggested this to several friends as possibly the best way to enhance their weight loss efforts, and otherwise regain some bounce...”

“For several years I had been experiencing various digestive problems from my liver enzymes being too high. Nothing I tried seemed to help. I read about your product on the internet, after researching many options to try to resolve the problem. I found your Liver Clear and decided to try it. I started to get relief shortly after and not only did my symptoms disappear but my liver enzymes dropped drastically as well. I will recommend your product to anyone and will continue to use it for as long as I live. Thanks again.”

“I really love Liver Clear. It helps me a lot with my allergies and asthma that I have each day. And when I get asthma nothing helps, but when I tried Liver Clear, it helps me very well in as little as two days. I can tell the difference in allergies and my asthma. I can go outside now without my eyes running water. It works for me very good, I love it. Now I’m looking for something that will help better my eye vision. Thanks.”

“I have high cholesterol and am forced to use a cholesterol lowering medicine given to me by my Doctor. Every 6 months you have to take a blood test to see if it affects your liver! Mine was very high, so I bought a special you were having on your Liver Clear. After taking it for 6 months I had another blood test done. The Doctor said “what did you do, stop taking your Lipitor? Because your liver count is fine.” I told him I am using IVL Liver Clear. He said to keep using it and he will tell other patients about it! So I gave him your phone number and full name. Thanks for helping me.”

“Liver Clear will cleanse and

strengthen the body’s most important detoxifying organ. The liver takes much abuse every day, screening out toxins from the body. Liver Clear helps the liver produce antioxidant enzymes, aids in detoxification. Many people give little thought to cleansing of the liver. The body needs Liver Clear to improve health. After taking Liver Clear I had more strength and pep. I recommend Liver Clear!”

“Liver Clear is the first diet supplement I have ever taken that I really noticed a positive change, let alone within the first week. Now I enjoy a noticeably higher level of energy, physically and mentally. The best way to describe this improvement is when getting out of bed in the morning. As soon as I’m up, I feel like I have already had three cups of coffee. Also, that foggy, fuzzy, forgetful thinking is gone, or the “brain-dead syndrome” as I call it. On top of the early morning benefit, there is no longer a need for the afternoon power nap to recharge myself. I can easilymake it through the day with enough energy to enjoy the evenings, some of those being late,

too. Thank you so much for something I needed so badly!”

“I am a long-term sufferer of chronic fatigue syndrome and the symptoms I have seen alleviated the most while taking Liver Clear are severe thirst and sore throat. I used to wake up every morning with a throat so sore that, although I was very thirsty, taking a sip of water would be very painful. Since taking Liver Clear, and other IVL products this condition has disappeared. I attribute this relief primarily to Liver Clear. I am now able to wake up in the morning without my mouth and throat completely parched and desperate for water. I am now able to take my first drink of water at my leisure after I wake up and don’t have to worry about the first sip being painful. I am also not awakened throughout the night with a severe thirst. Thank you for making such effective, high quality products available. It is a rare pleasure for me to come across a product that provides such noticeable benefits.”

a large improvement and have no more pain. Prior to taking it I frequently had gallbladder pain, especially after eating rich foods. Since taking Liver Clear, I have had no more attacks.”

“I really did not notice the difference right away, but before finishing the second bottle of Liver Clear I started noticing an increase in my energy level. I seem to have energy left at the end of my day at work. I seem to get everything done quicker and am able to accomplish things more efficiently. My disposition is better too. I had been going through a lot of stress and pain this last year with my significant other losing his job, and having to pay for my house, two cars, and all the rest of the bills on a transcriptionist’s salary.

Introducing the Latest Health Breakthroughs in Longevity Science

Volume 3, Issue 3

CAN ANTLER VELVET KEEP YOU YOUNG, VITAL & CHARGED WITH ENERGY?

Editor’s Note:

Nearly ten years ago, we were among the first to bring to the attention of the American public, the amazing medically proven plan to lose fat, build muscle, strengthen the immune system, improve sexual performance and reverse the effects of aging through hGH (Human Growth Hormone) and through hGH releasers called secretagogues.
Now, millions of men and women all over the world enjoy the youthful benefits associated with these breakthroughs in longevity science. And now, we are here, pioneers again, to recommend antler velvet, the latest secretagogue enhancement. This longevity enhancement, however, has been practiced for thousands of years by the greatest doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This report will give you the science behind the longevity secret of New Zealand antler velvet. Please read on, and your grandkids and their children will thank you for your wise decision…

Is it a New Zealand dream…or a reality man or woman can enjoy?

HOW DOES ANTLER VELVET HELP PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES RECOVER FROM MUSCLE STIFFNESS & INJURY

and how can it help you reduce inflammation, increase muscular endurance, stimulate your immune system, jump-start your libido & grow young with age?

     Although widely acclaimed as an aphrodisiac, this is only one of the wide ranging benefits associated with antler velvet. For centuries it’s been used by the Chinese and Koreans to help control blood pressure, increase hemoglobin levels, increase lung efficiency, improve muscle tone and glandular functions, sharpen mental alertness, relieve joint discomfort and inflammation and alleviate stomach ulcers.
     Antler velvet is the prime Traditional Chinese Medicine remedy for promoting endurance, stamina and strength, for combating the symptoms of stress and fatigue and for revitalizing the entire system – especially at the onset of winter. Said another way: Antler velvet has long been recognized by the oldest healing systems as being effective for increasing both the volume and the circulation of blood throughout the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, young blood means one thing: youthful living for life.
     Antler velvet, then, is an essential part of Chinese medicine’s philosophy of promoting wellness rather than curing illness. If increased circulation – which brings a youthful glow to every part of your body – is of keen interest to you, then you’ll want to read on to

understand the full impact of this longevity breakthrough for your own personal use.

What Exactly is Antler Velvet and why is it a New Zealand Longevity Secret?

     Antler velvet is the immature antler of deer. It’s named after the soft velvety fur that covers the antler during its rapid growth stage. Deer velvet is living tissue which can grow up to 2cm per day.
     Deer antler is unique in that it grows each spring, is cast in the late winter and is replaced the following spring by the same natural process. Starting as cartilage, the antler eventually matures into hard bone and weighs as much as half of the stag’s skeleton. The production of bioactive substances will reach a peak, and then gradually goes down as more bone is formed.
     Most of the world’s finest supply of antler velvet is imported from New Zealand. The velvet is removed, while the deer are under local anesthetic, by trained farmers or vets, accredited to a national program approved by the Animal Welfare Advisory Council in New Zealand.
     The antler velvet is processed by a special freeze-drying method which preserves and enhances the efficacy of

continued ...

the velvet. All processing is carried out in fully licensed facilities and is subject to strict microbiological control throughout. Antler velvet has no known toxicity while it assists the body in revitalizing circulation and other body functions.

NEW RESEARCH SUPPORTS ANCIENT CLAIMS

TAt AgResearch Invermay in the South Island of New Zealand, a number of groundbreaking tests have demonstrated the unique ability of antler velvet to:

	STIMULATE the immune system, the body’s main line of defense against infection and disease
	CONTAIN anti-inflammatory agents associated with a variety of degenerative ailments
	CONTAIN growth stimulating properties which offset the traditional signs of aging
	INCREASE muscular strength and endurance
	REDUCE the damaging side effects of chemotherapy drugs

New Zealand lays claim to one of the highest average longevity rates in the world. Could antler velvet play a significant role in that statistic?

New Zealanders are traditionally quiet. They don’t like to boast or brag, so please read on and you decide…

Increasing the Quality & Quantity of Life

Recent longevity studies in New Zealand have revealed the presence of a wide variety of remarkable growth factors found in antler velvet including the critical IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1.)
As reported in Life Extension magazine, when we are young the concentration of human growth hormone is relatively high which promotes good musculature and low body fat. However, as the body ages, our growth hormone levels decrease and our muscles tend to atrophy. As a natural source of IGF-1, antler velvet has

demonstrated its ability to keep the body lean and the muscles well-developed – which is of great interest to athletes and body builders; but also to retired people, the elderly, and to people working at sedentary jobs. Increased growth factors are just part of the health story associated with antler velvet because it also contains:
     SEX HORMONES: Sex hormones found in antler velvet include estrone and testosterone, and a substance similar to progesterone.
     HEALTHY FATS: Healthy lipids identified in antler velvet include free fatty acids, lecithin, phospholipids and prostaglandins. MAJOR MINERALS: Antler velvet is a major source of minerals including calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, selenium and cobalt.
     VITAL JOINT COMPOUNDS: Antler velvet contains a variety of joint building elements including glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate.
     POWERFUL PROTEINS and POLYPEPTIDES: The protein in antler velvet consists primarily of collagen II, a major structural component of bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. Free amino acids are essential for healthy cell growth and repair of tissues. Antler velvet contains ALL the essential amino acids as well as special proteins called polypeptides that have anti-inflammatory properties, plus bone and cartilage building properties.

Helps Reduce Stress, Inflammation & Speeds Muscle Recovery

     Experimental research has demonstrated that antler velvet helps reduce stress indicators in the blood through improved blood circulation.
     One of the outstanding properties of antler velvet is its ability to alleviate total body inflammation, such as joint discomfort, swelling and tissue injury. It has been suggested that the high concentrations of hormone-like substances in antler velvet are responsible for the rapid tissue repair after injury.
     Dr. Arkady Koltun, Chairman of the Medical Committee for the Russian Bodybuilding Federation, found that deer antler velvet actually increases muscular strength and endurance and speeds recovery time.

Mother Nature’s Aphrodisiac?

Antler velvet’s reputation as a reliable aphrodisiac is widespread throughout Asia and Russia, but is this reputation based on fact? The effects of antler velvet on patients with a weak libido has been widely documented, especially by Russian clinical researchers, with the result that it’s regarded a prime antidote for a number of sexual problems including impotence. Antler velvet is loaded with natural testosterone, estrone and a substance similar to progesterone and these substances help invigorate sexual energy as well as help to regulate the activity of the sex organs – in both men and women.
Sadly, sex is everywhere in America – on the radio, TV, Internet, magazines, newspapers. It’s found everywhere in American life, except where it should be: in the bedroom. Recent studies show that after age 50, American couples nearly stop having sex altogether. Where prescription drugs with dangerous side effects are no long-term solution for men or women, antler velvet might prove to be just the aphrodisiac that helps promote sex where it should be.

What Olympic & Professional Athletes Say

     “From strengthening joints and muscles and helping the body to adapt to stress, to enhancing energy, mood and mental focus, this supplement derived from the bone cartilage of the rapidly regenerating deer antler may soon prove to be the supplement of choice for the 40 somethings.”
     Let’s Live Magazine,
     Deer Antler Velvet for Boomers
     “Deer Antler Velvet is poised to be one of the most versatile multipurpose natural remedies to arrive in the West.”
     Life Extension Magazine
     “Herbs and Antler Velvet combinations have long been used by the Chinese and Russian Olympic teams. These are not to be confused with vitamin and mineral supplements. Big difference. Like the difference between Mother Nature and manmade. Herbs are really like vegetables, except they are much more intense in

properties and nutritive values, whereas vitamins are isolates, molecules compounded together into a pill. The human body is biologically programmed to assimilate best with “whole” food as opposed to “isolates.”
     Dr. Maoshing Ni,
     Doctor of Chinese Medicine,
     Best Selling Author

     “More than supporting healthy joint function, I believe that taking New Zealand deer velvet helps my general good health and energy levels. I have continued taking it for nearly a decade because I believe it helps me. I am told my experience is consistent with its use in Chinese medicine as a general wellness tonic.”
     Sir Bob Charles,
     NZ Most Successful Golfer, 6th
     Highest Money Earner of All Time

     “Since taking New Zealand Deer Velvet, I have found that my recovery from training, competition and even travel has been greatly enhanced. I feel much more on top of my training schedule and this gives me confidence when I race.”
     Hamish Carter, Triathlete,
     Current World #1

     “After taking deer velvet for several months, I’ve handled training three times a day better than before. I haven’t been sick and I’ve felt fresher. My strength and physiology has improved significantly during this period.”
     Rob Waddell, Single Sculler
     World and Olympic Champion

     “I find the benefits of recovery from training and after racing tremendous. I also find a better well-being in mental alertness and also an ability to avoid illness of all kinds. I have been taking Deer Velvet since March 1999.”
     Allan Sinclair,
     Marathon Runner

     “After reading reports from other athletes and researching the product for myself, I decided to give NZ deer velvet a try. One year later I am feeling stronger, pushing heavier weights with more reps. I also find my recovery from these sessions is a lot quicker.

Another very noticeable difference has been an improvement to my immune system and less injuries with only one minor cold in the past twelve months.”
     Malcolm McDonald,
     Otago Surf Line Saving

     “After winning a World Champs in the first year of using the Velvet, I certainly wouldn’t attempt to do another race without it. I like to ensure that I have prepared to the best of my abilities for a race and now this includes using deer velvet as part of any preparation.”
     Debbie Nelson,
     Duathlete/Multisport Athlete

     “I was introduced to NZ Deer Velvet after an intensive off-season training program resulted in my suffering from debilitating shin splints. After extensive physio, anti-inflammatories and massage, the pain was still hindering my performance. I had difficulty playing more than half a game. I decided to try deer velvet as I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Since taking the deer velvet I have experienced little if any shin pain and have been able to play as many as 2-3 full games of netball a weekend without suffering pain.”
     Jo Steed,
     Netball Player, Former Silver Fern

     “I initially started using Deer Velvet through a recommendation from my coach. I admit I did not fully understand the benefits of Deer Velvet until I contracted a virus last year, while in training in Europe. This virus resulted in reactive arthritis which left me unable to ride, train and most importantly unable to compete in the World Championships in Berlin, which I had trained for all year. Deer Velvet was a key ingredient in my recovery and within 2 months I was back on my bike and training for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.”
     Glen Thomson, Cyclist

     “When you are a professional athlete you are always looking for something that’s going to give you the competitive edge over your opponents. In using New Zealand Deer Velvet, I believe that I have something that for me provides the edge. When you have

made efforts that have completely exhausted you for that day and you are going to have to do it again tomorrow and for the following 20 days after that, recovery is the most important thing. I believe that from using New Zealand Deer Velvet, I can physically feel a difference in my recovery by the following day.”
     Julian Dean, Cyclist

     “Prior to taking deer velvet, I was beginning to experience extreme fatigue, difficulties in concentration, depression, anxiety and recurrent bouts of illness. I have now been taking deer velvet for the past three months. The most noticeable observation I have been able to make is a marked improvement in my overall health. Despite continued stress, I have not fallen ill once over this time and feel in general considerably more alert, physically stronger and able to cope with early mornings and late nights.”
     Vicki Knight, Wellington, NZ

The Master Tonic for Long Life?

Scientific studies and athletic performance support the notion that antler velvet contains health benefits for all age groups. Like no other natural substance, antler velvet is loaded with growth factors, beneficial collagen, amino acids, anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, minerals, trace elements, choline, unique combinations of protein and carbohydrates.

Today, antler velvet is being used by millions of people all over the world to encourage:

	Joint health and increased mobility
	Enhancement of immune system activity
	Increased muscle development, strength and endurance
	Increased mental vitality and alertness
	Enhanced levels of certain antiaging hormones
	Enhanced red blood cell production

	Increased oxygen carrying capacity of blood
	Faster recovery from injury, surgery and stress
	Increased sexual energy and libido

If you combine all of the above health benefits, you can quickly determine that antler velvet is a powerful, all-purpose tonic offering preventive and restorative possibilities that could easily enhance and sustain your health and well-being – for life.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO USE ANTLER VELVET?

     During the course of our research on New Zealand Antler Velvet, we discovered that its greatest value to the body would be dramatically enhanced if it combined with a human growth hormone precursor or secretagogue.
     Now, for the first time ever, the finest quality New Zealand antler velvet has been combined with the world’s most advanced and effective secretagogue formula. This new product is called VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH™ – available in capsules only.
     What is a secretagogue?
     What you’re about to learn in the next few pages could easily change your health from fatigued to 100% fantastic in just a few months.
     To do justice to the unique combination of antler velvet and a secretagogue, we’ll need first to turn back the clock to the cutting edge scientific research on human growth hormone that was first brought to the public’s attention just a little over 25 years ago.

hGH BREAKTHROUGH FIRST REPORTED IN THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE

In 1990, Dr. Daniel Rudman, Director of Geriatric Medicine at the Chicago Medical School University of Health Sciences, stunned the world by reporting the results of his experiments with Human Growth Hormone in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Over 6 months, he injected hGH into a study group of 12 men (aged 61 to 81) and managed to...REVERSE THEIR BIOLOGICAL AGE “BY 10 TO 20 YEARS.”

     During that period, Dr. Rudman recorded a reduction of their body fat by an average of 14%. Lean muscle mass increased by almost 9%. Their skin grew measurably thicker and more youthful looking. The men reported more energy and increased sex drive.

     A second famous hGH study reveals equally impressive findings.

     Since Dr. Rudman’s landmark study, tens of thousands of additional studies have been conducted worldwide... and in each case, they have documented that hGH can not only retard aging...but actually REVERSE the entire aging process from head to toe.

     One of the impressive hGH followup studies took place at the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute under the direction of Dr. Edmund Chein, M.D.

     Dr. Chein followed a growth hormone protocol that involved restoring hGH levels with low dose, highly frequent injections. Using this protocol, Dr. Chein developed a program he claims has been 100% effective for all of his patients. He guarantees that his patients will experience an increase in bone density of 1.5 to 2.5% every 6 months, as well as a loss of 10% body fat and an increase in muscle mass. These processes may continue until the patient attains the body composition of a twenty-year-old.

     The following results were derived from 308 randomly selected questionnaires that were completed by Dr. Chein’s patients during the term of their therapy between 1994 and 1996.

     Despite these remarkable results, there was one colossal drawback to hGH injections: they cost about $1,000 a month and were out of reach to all except for the rich and famous. But then a second discovery in 1997 ushered in the start of the amazing AGELESS society...
     There was a better, faster, easier, cheaper way to gain the benefits of hGH therapy!
     In 1997, Dr. L.E. Dorman made a startling presentation before the American College for the Advancement of Medicine. His findings revealed that hGH production most certainly declines after 30, but there’s an even more rapid DECLINE which speeds up aging...the body’s ability to release and use the hGH it produces.
     His groundbreaking research concluded there was NO need to inject hGH into the body. Rather what was needed was a natural method to release the body’s own natural hGH.

A Secreta What?

Doctors Dorman and Marsh, as well as other medical researchers, have identified growth hormone releasers called secretagogues. Just like antler velvet, these natural compounds, (consisting of specific amino acids, proteins and botanical extracts), enhance the body’s production, release and utilization of hGH.
So, how do these special releasing compounds work? These incredible

super nutrients, which consist mainly of a stacked amino acid complex (SAAC) stimulate receptors in the pituitary and hypothalamus glands and help release the body’s own hidden stores of growth hormone – regardless of age!
     In fact, according to the latest medical research, these natural hGH releasers may have the ability to mimic the body’s youthful hGH secretion patterns more effectively than any other hGH therapy previously available.
     NOT a hormone, but a natural substance with the potential for better results!
     It’s important to mention that a growth hormone releaser (or a secretagogue) DOES NOT contain the actual growth hormone itself.
     The definition of a secretagogue is really a catalyst, which stimulates the body to secrete its own hormones. In other words, when you use a secretagogue, you’re NOT taking the actual growth hormone. You’re taking a natural nutrient that can help your body release its own growth hormone.
     These secretagogues are the NEW miracle workers of longevity science. They are powerful and inexpensive. And they help release growth hormone EVEN BETTER than injections of hGH – without side effects OR the $1,000 a month price tag.

     “Natural secretagogues may be our best hope for raising hGH in an entirely physiologic manner because of the ability to stimulate the endocrine system to release its own hGH.”
          - Dr. L.E. Dorman

     “In many situations, secretagogues are only as effective as hGH injection but also have distinct advantages.”
          - Richard Marsh, M.D.

Health Success & Secretagogue Go Hand in Hand

     “The extraordinary capacity and functionality of this product comes as a result of the highest quality standards from formulation to finish.”
          - Kathy Nasic, Analytical Science MS

     During the course of our research on hGH, we reviewed and analyzed

dozens of “secretagogue” products. We narrowed down the pack to what we feel is the best quality hGH releaser on the market today. The first product we recommended (and still recommend) was SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus™.

     SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus is an exclusive proprietary blend of amino acids, anterior pituitary peptides and precursor nutrients designed to enhance the body’s natural production of Human Growth Hormone (hGH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1.)
     Bear in mind that hGH is secreted in very brief pulses during the early hours of sleep and remains in circulation for only a few minutes. hGH is quickly absorbed by the liver and converted to its powerful growth promoting metabolite, Insulin-like Growth Factor 1(IGF-1.)
     In this unique “dynamic duo” combination, increased hGH and increased IGF-1 levels have been shown to...

	INCREASE muscle mass.
	DECREASE body fat.
	SPEED recovery from injury and training.
	INCREASE cardiac output without stress.
	INCREASE immune functions throughout the body.

SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus’ proprietary formula contains a 1000 mg blend of amino acids clinically proven to raise hGH levels. Ingredients include citrulline, L-glutamine, glycine, Llysine, L-tyrosine, glutamic acid, Larginine, and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid.) Also contained are niacinamide (vitamin B3) and broad bean. Niacinamide helps promote proper circulation and increases the synthesis of sex hormones. And broad bean, a natural source of the amino acid L-dopa which increases hGH, IGF-1 and testosterone. The active ingredient L-dopa is a precursor to the powerful hGH booster, dopamine. L-dopa has phenomenal antiaging benefits because of its ability to increase hGH levels by over 400%.
SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus is the only hGH formula that contains ZMA, a totally unique, anabolic mineral support combination containing zinc

monomethionine aspartate, magnesium aspartate and vitamin B6 in the exact ratios needed to help the body produce its own hGH. ZMA has been clinically proven to boost the levels of both insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF- 1) and free testosterone, plus enhance muscle strength. ZMA is designed to fortify the release of the body’s own hGH repair of tissues, anabolic hormone production and muscle growth during peak times when these functions occur. ZMA is used safely by home run king, Barry Bonds, 4-time Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman, and by more than 250 NFL players.
     Another completely unique ingredient to SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus is citrulline. Researchers on the cutting edge of antiaging science have identified this compound as the newest, most exciting and powerful hGH releaser.
     Generated from L-glutamine, citrulline is an important nonessential amino acid that works to detoxify the liver of ammonia. Citrulline production in the liver drops as we age, causing a dangerous build-up of ammonia surrounding the tissues. This results in fatigue, inflammation and a weakened immune system.
     Citrulline also supports the body in optimizing blood flow through its conversion to L-arginine and then nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is critical in allowing men to sustain erections and for women to bring increased blood flow to the sex organs.
     SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus is grounded in solid scientific research and it has performed with people of all ages like no other hGH releaser we found. Just consider a few of the “success” stories we came across from people using SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus…

CHRONIC BACK PAIN GONE!

“In just 8 days, I lost my chronic back pain. After a month my knee joint improved and a lump in the skin on my arm had disappeared. I have never been able to lower my cholesterol, even on a cholesterol-blocking drug, but since I have been taking the hGH releaser, my cholesterol has fallen from 257 to 225. When I get a cold, I usually take 3 weeks to recover. Just recently I caught a cold and recovered in just 5 days.”
- Rolf Samuelson, Montana

AMAZING STROKE RECOVERY!

“About every 6 months I have a small stroke called a T.I.A. I hate them...it usually takes weeks to recover. The day after my last attack, I received my hGH releaser and started to take it right away. Four days later I suddenly realized I felt good again. I could hardly believe it -- in just 4 days I had recovered my strength. What a product!”
- Ron Carthwright, Florida

LOST 2 INCHES FROM MY WAIST!

“I’ve been on the product 6 weeks now, and have lost 2 inches from my waist and 5 lbs. I have gained muscle and my chest measurement has gone up 1 inch. My sleep has improved as has my mood and mental function.”
- Wolfgang Soltz, Texas

HER DEPRESSION EASED! HIS SEX DRIVE INCREASED!

“I am feeling more alive and positive about life in general. I don’t feel so depressed and tired since taking the hGH releaser. My husband is taking it also and his allergies and his snoring problems are improving. He is losing weight around his waist and is noticing muscle strength in his arms and legs as well as an increase in his libido.”

PERMANENT SCARS HEALED!

“For many years, I have had a skin problem whereby my outer skin was very fragile and very thin. If I bump the edge of a table, my skin splits open and bleeds. I have just completed my third week on the hGH releaser. My left arm from the wrist to the elbow was very bruised looking, due to the infusion of blood just below the skin. There were small scars over both my arms. These were permanent conditions. The middle of the second week, I noticed a dramatic change in the color of my skin. The discoloration and scars had faded to about 50% of the original condition. I have not had a fresh cut in over a week.”
-Carolina Rodriguez, Arizona

HAIR RESTORED AT 63!

“I have been using the hGH releaser for six weeks. During that time, my waist has gone from 34.5 to 32 inches. My energy has increased and my hair has begun to thicken at the crown. Within four days,

I felt my body changing with a tightening in the muscles.”
-Norman Trudeau,Montreal, Canada

AGE SPOTS FADED & ENERGY RESTORED!

“For years I’ve had age spots on my skin. I’ve tried all kinds of creams and lotions and nothing has ever removed them. After only 4 weeks on the product, the spots are starting to fade, and the energy I have now is amazing.”
- Valerie Smith,Washington

FREE OF PAIN IN ALL AREAS!

“I have lost 11 lbs. My 63-year-old body is free of pain in all areas. Before taking the hGH, I had pain in a broken left ankle and a very sore right shoulder. The dark spots on my hands are also fading and each morning I jump out of bed like I did when I was 30.”
-Katerina Kowalski

CHOLESTEROL LOWERED!

“I am 62 and have had borderline cholesterol for some time. Before I started on the hGH releaser, my cholesterol was 247. LDL was 135 and the blood sugar 279. After just 3 weeks, my cholesterol had fallen 32 points to 215, the LDL was 115 and the blood sugar had dropped to 189. So far, I have also lost 6 to 7 lbs, all of which appears to have gone from my stomach, as my waist is almost 3 inches smaller.”
-Bob Mucha, California

LESS STIFFNESS IN LEGS & FEET!

“I feel less stiffness in my legs and feet when I get up. I am not yet exercising routinely but I can see better muscle tone and definition in my upper arms and can feel former muscle in my calves and quadriceps muscles. I can’t wait to see what I get on an exercise routine.”
-Peter Bradshaw, Florida

TRIGLYCERIDES SLASHED!

“I first heard about this product from a friend who is a successful lawyer. He had a remarkably high triglycerides level and an elevated cholesterol level. About six weeks after he started using the product, his triglycerides had been reduced from 702 to 312 and his cholesterol had reduced from 273 to 131.”
-Hubert Rothchild

LESS SLEEP, MORE ENERGY!

“I have

recently completed 90 days of taking the hGH releaser. The first thing I noticed was a decrease in the amount of sleep required. I used to require nine to ten hours of sleep, and then I still wouldn’t feel rested. Now, I wake after seven to eight hours and feel renewed and refreshed. The second thing I noticed was my hair and skin began to look and feel a lot healthier. It really surprised me when people actually commented on it. Additionally, after a week or two, I noticed that my body fat was decreasing and at the same time my muscle mass was increasing.”
-Francis Miller, Arizona

SEX DRIVE RESTORED!

“Growing old to me is the lack of libido, loss of energy, lack of interest in life and physical deterioration of the body. I’ve been on your hGH releaser for 3 months. I wake up raring to go, my sleep is sound, my mental acuity is better, the texture of my skin has improved, my libido has increased dramatically, I’ve lost 12 pounds in 3 months and my overall general feeling of well-being has improved.”
-Peter Bradshaw, Florida

ORIGINAL HAIR COLOR IS BACK!

“I’m sleeping better and I need much less sleep than I used to. My original hair color is coming back and I have much more stamina. I’m able to keep up with my husband, which I couldn’t (do) before. I had been on Premarin for 15 years, tried to get off, and was not able, but within 6 weeks on a hGH releaser, I am off medications and I definitely feel as if I were getting younger.”
-Leona Erber, Business Owner

ENDURANCE & MEMORY INCREASED!

“I can’t believe what the hGH releaser has done for me. My strength has increased. My skin is stronger. My overall endurance and my memory have increased. My sexual appetite has increased tremendously. If you want to live longer and healthier, this product will help you accomplish that goal.”
- Rudy Izaguirre, Business Owner, 75

COMPLEXION WINS COMPLIMENTS!

“I’ve had a lot of people ask me, “What do you use on your complexion?” Looking in the mirror you see yourself


These statments are anecdotal and may not represent typical results with this product

every day, so you don’t really notice the changes. But when you have other people asking you what you use on your face, that’s when you really notice something about Secretagogue that DOES work.”
- Linda Garnjost, Nurse, 49

THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED SECRETAGOGUE FORMULAJUST GOT BETTER

     By age 60, nearly half of our hGH reserves are already exhausted and so most of us by this age show the signs of “flab and drag” associated with aging. By this age, our get-up-and-go has just about gone. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
     Tens of millions will continue to hobble down that dreary road, complaining about wear and tear, rising medical bills, always fearful of the next illness poised to strike, but not you. You have a very different youthful future ahead of you.
     Bear in mind, you can’t reverse the ravages of time overnight. But when you use VELVET Secretagogue hGH™ - the finest quality New Zealand Antler Velvet combined with the world’s most advanced hGH releaser - you can count on a wide range of remarkable benefits. In just six months or less, many users report they:

	SLEEP better and GAIN MORE ENERGY in the first month!
	ENJOY better sexual performance, DECREASE body fat without dieting in the 2nd month!
	INCREASE strength, muscle tone and flexibility and sexual stamina in the third month!
	BOOST memory, improve skin tone, sharpen vision and lower cholesterol in the fourth month!

Reports from users indicate that over the next six months, as the amount of hGH in your blood increases, all of the above changes will become increasingly more dramatic and evident to you and your loved ones. Finally, after 6 months, the person you see in the mirror could very well look and feel 20 years younger than you do now.
Imagine this: in just 6 months, you could look in the mirror behind your closet door and SEE a complete new YOU!

Frequently Asked Questions About the Brand-New VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH

Since we first published news of Human Growth Hormone (hGH) – the all-natural, antiaging substance – we’ve received hundreds of questions about hGH and natural secretagogue hGH releasers. Now, we’d like to summarize those questions here to help clarify our views of this remarkable longevity breakthrough.

WHAT IS VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH?

VELVET Secretagogue hGH is a human growth hormone releaser, now combined with antler velvet to help increase total blood circulation. This unique formula is an all-natural complex of amino acids, protein fragments and pharmacological sugars that help stimulate the release of the body’s own remarkable antiaging hormone – hGH.

WHAT BENEFITS MAY ONE EXPECT?

We have gathered numerous firsthand reports and the benefits we’ve documented include: weight and body fat reduction, increased muscle mass, wrinkle reduction, improved skin texture, increased energy, improved sleep, reduced stress, improved sexual function, lower levels of blood pressure and cholesterol, improved heart and lung function, improved immune response, improved joint mobility, enhanced red blood cell production, faster recovery from injury, surgery and stress.

AT WHAT AGE SHOULD A PERSON TAKE THIS hGH RELEASER AND ANTLER VELVET COMBO?

Any time after 35. Ideally, you want to maintain your appearance and current biological age for as long as possible. Increased circulation is especially vital to the health of sedentary workers and VELVET Secretagogue hGH should provide much needed help.

HOW LONG BEFORE RESULTS CAN BE SEEN?

Most people report to us in 3 to 4 weeks that they experience higher levels of energy, increased concentration, better sleep patterns, and reduced appetite. In 3 months, you should see

enhanced skin condition, fat loss and improved muscle tone.
In six months, we can see the most remarkable changes including increased sexual response, improved memory, new hair growth, improved skin texture, improved muscle mass and resistance to common illness.

HOW IS VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH™ DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL SECRETAGOGUE hGH PLUS FORMULA?

VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH is available in capsule form only. All you do is take 6 capsules before retiring. VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH contains 500 mg of New Zealand antler velvet per 6 capsule serving plus the allnatural, proprietary blend of amino acids currently contained in our effervescent SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus.

WHAT OTHER LIFESTYLE CHANGES ARE REQUIRED?

The more natural and unprocessed foods you eat, the better the results with VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH. Refined, processed foods, excess sugar, alcohol and smoking can inhibit the amount of growth hormone that’s released.

WHAT’S THE BEST TIME TO TAKE VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH?

Take six capsules of VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH with water, once a day, in the morning or at bedtime on an empty stomach (preferably 2 hours before mealtime or 2 hours after mealtime) for 5 days. Skip 2 days and repeat cycle. It is most effective when taken before bedtime to enhance and mimic the circadian growth hormone release and fat burning potential. Second best, in the morning. Many athletes take it an hour before workout. Growth hormone enhances exercise and exercise enhances growth hormone.

AVAILABLE AT TINY FRACTION OF INJECTION COST!

Best of all, VELVET SECRETAGOGUE hGH costs a tiny fraction of hGH injections – and yet thousands of people, from age 35 to 90, have experienced a vital new lease on life which they never dream possible.
For just $59.95 (a lot less than the

cost of an oil change and tune-up for your car)...you can give your body the tune-up of a lifetime that’ll keep it running at peak performance.
You can search the world over and not find a “secretagogue” formula that offers you so much scientifically-proven, medically-proven rejuvenation and improved circulation for so very little.

STILL NOT CONVINCED?

     We too were skeptical, but after taking a closer look at the supporting evidence for antler velvet, we tested and actually used the product ourselves. This product’s unique ability to make profound changes in the human body made believers out of us. So, now it’s your turn to become a believer.
     According to Dr. Richard Marsh, “it’s really possible to regain youthful energy when your body is able to release and use the hGH it already has.”
     Because of increased pollution levels, increased stress levels, poor diet and sedentary lifestyles, fatigue is the #1 health complaint in America today, but don’t let that curse become your future health story. Put a new, youthful spring in your step that can’t be stopped, with the latest breakthrough in longevity medicine.

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.

Introducing the Latest Health Breakthroughs in Longevity Science

Volume 3, Issue 2

Editor’s Note:

    Are diapers, dialysis and kidney stones lurking in your future? Today, 75 million Americans risk kidney and bladder disease because of their lifestyles.
    Kidney disease is primarily caused by the lack of water and the overconsumption of foods and beverages that have SEVERE DEHYDRATING EFFECTS such as alcohol, red meat, coffee, caffeinated teas, soft drinks, artificial sweeteners and sugar. For example, for every cup of coffee or can of cola you drink your body gives up three cups ofwater before it can help cleanse your kidneys.
    So what’s the answer for your threatened kidneys? Read this newsletter to find out how you can EASILY help cleanse, repair and maintain your body’s natural wastewater removal system FOR LIFE!

OUR LIFESTYLE IS KILLING OUR KIDNEYS!

But kidney disease is one of the easiest problems to fix once you start drinking more water and using a new breakthrough in medical science!

One drank beer. One drank cola. One drank coffee.What these three average Americans had in common was kidney disease. What you will learn from their stories could save your life or the life of a loved one.

These three strangers— Mihoko, an Asian woman about 45, James, a white man about 40 and Bill, an African- American man about 60*— were all relaxing in the sauna at their health club.

      “How come I always see you drinking lots of water?” James asked Bill, trying to strike up a conversation.

      “My doctor told me to. I need to keep my one kidney clean as a whistle,” Bill replied.

      “One kidney? What do you mean?” Mihoko chimed in.

      Bill then proceeded to tell them how he lost his other kidney to disease. “I never thought it would ever happen to me. I figured that since I

loved to drink beer, especially on hot summer days, I always had plenty of fluid passing through my body.”

     It turns out that 20 years of drinking beer had built up so much acid waste in Bill’s kidneys that these vital organs looked and felt like pieces of petrified wood. Bill’s doctor told him he had to cut the worst one out or he would die. Bill chose the operation.

     James got a worried look on his face and said, “I just went to the doctor because I saw blood in my urine. He told me that after a lifetime of drinking cola all day long, my pancreas is in trouble, I have type 2 diabetes and my kidneys are severely damaged.” At this point, Mihoko pipes up and says, “I had such bad lower back trouble that I finally went to the doctor. He said that my urine is so filled with uric acid, phosphates and waste products that it’s a wonder I can walk at all.”

     “What do you drinkmost of the time?” Bill asked.

     “Coffee,” she said. “I always drink buckets of coffee to get me going.”

BEER, COLA AND COFFEE – AMERICA’S FAVORITE POISONS?

“Wait a minute! Those three drinks don’t sound so horrible to me,” you might be saying. And yet all three of these people were fighting major kidney problems because they overindulged in

these seemingly harmless beverages.

     It was stories like these that inspired longevity researchers at the Institute for Vibrant Living™ (IVL) to search for the world’s best kidney formula that would help prevent problems like these fromhappening tomen and women of all ages.

     After much investigation these dedicated nutritional explorers have given the world the ultimate cleansing agent for your worn, overworked kidneys— KIDNEY CLEAR™!

     The research team at IVL is so confident that this remarkable product—now available to the general public—will keep you free of kidney problems for life that they have authorized a RISK-FREE trial for Journal of Health & Longevity readers. More about this generous NO-RISK offer later. First you need to understand...

BEER, COLA AND COFFEE – AMERICA’S FAVORITE POISONS?

     There’s a two-word answer: OUR LIFESTYLE.

     The common cause of kidney disease—including kidney stones, bladder diseases, uremic poisoning, and nephritis (chronic inflammation of the kidneys)—is what we eat and what we drink.

     Why did beer, cola and coffee damage the kidneys of the three companions? These drinks may contain water, which is good, but they

also contain sugar, alcohol, caffeine and other potentially harmful chemicals that all act as MAJOR DEHYDRATING AGENTS.

According to Andreas Moritz, author of The Key to Health and Rejuvenation, “Caffeinated beverages trigger stress responses that have strong diuretic effects (causing increased urination); beverages with added sugar raise blood sugar levels, which use up large quantities of water, too.”

The more you drink these wildly popular beverages, the more starved for water your body becomes and the more water your body is forced to draw fromyour cells to cleanse the harmful toxins found in these beverages.

CONSIDER THESE SOBERING MEDICAL FACTS:

According to the Centers for Disease Control, kidney disease is now included in the top 10 causes of death by a disease. But there’smore. KIDNEY STONES ARE 10 TIMES MORE COMMON NOW THAN THEY WERE AT THE START OF THE 20TH CENTURY.WHY?

The amount of animal fats and protein in the average American diet has increased significantly while the amount of vegetable protein has radically decreased.

KIDNEY STONES ARE AWASTE PRODUCT OF PROTEIN.

     Most proteins combine with sulfur and phosphorus. When you metabolize protein, these elements remain as sulfuric and phosphoric acid and must be neutralized by ammonia and alkaline minerals before they can be discharged safely by the kidneys.

     While you’re sleeping, your blood is busy neutralizing harmful acidic substances and carrying them to the kidneys. The kidneys MUST REMOVE neutralized waste salts, uric acid, and ammonia; which is why your first urination in the morning always has a darker color and more odor. (YOUR KIDNEYS HAVE BEEN WORKING OVERTIME TO NEUTRALIZE AND DETOXIFY ACID WASTE AND MAKE IT READY FOR DISCHARGE!)

     This overtime work by the kidneys is also why many men and women over 50 are awakened around 3 a.m. with a strong need to urinate. (THE KIDNEYS ARE STRUGGLING TO GET THEIR JOB DONE AND THEY SEND OUT A LOW BACK PAINSIGNALTELLINGYOUTO GET UP AND GO—NOW!)

SUGAR IS JUST AS BIG A CULPRIT AS EXCESS PROTEIN!

It’s no secret, but our consumption of sugar has gone through the roof! One hundred years ago, the average American ate 10 pounds of sugar a year, NOWWE INHALE 150 POUNDS OF SUGAR PER YEAR MAINLY THROUGH SOFT DRINKS.

The excess consumption of refined carbohydrates, especially sugar, can trigger kidney stones because the sugar stimulates the pancreas to release insulin which, in turn, causes extra calcium to be excreted into the urine which becomes one of the binding agents for stones.

OUR FAVORITE AMERICAN DIET OF RED MEAT AND SUGAR TURNS YOUR KIDNEYS INTO AN ACID TIME BOMB OF ACCUMULATED WASTE!

As the body produces more acidic wastes, the kidneys get more taxed because they have to take those acids out from the blood. And guess what…

BEER, SOFT DRINKS AND COFFEE ARE ALL ACIDIC WITH SOFT DRINKS BEING THEWORST. All of these drinks are slow killers.

PAIN KILLERS ARE KILLING OUR KIDNEYS.

Because your kidneys must filter your blood, they can be easily damaged by exposure to certain drugs or toxins, including heavy metals, solvents and pesticides.

Worst of all is the use and abuse of popular over-thecounter painkillers. OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE SUFFER from some form of chronic pain and we gobble painkillers

almost faster than they can be produced—roughly $30 BILLIONWORTH EVERY YEAR!

     What most people don’t know is that PAINKILLERS ONLY MASK THE SYMPTOMS! Not only are pain sufferers stuck with what ails them, but they are actually WREAKING HAVOC ON THEIR KIDNEYS WHICH MUST WORK OVERTIME TO HELP DETOXIFY EACH AND EVERY IBUPROFEN, NAPROSYN AND ASPIRIN.

     If you think this startling revelation is a false alarm, think again. 41,000 people die every year from using NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and a staggering percentage of those suffer a miserable death due to kidney failure. Not to mention the thousands that die each uear from peptic ulcer disease (ulcers and bleeding) induced by taking these NSAIDSs.

     How can you counterpunch the negative effects of the American diet? How can you avoid kidney stones, kidney damage, and kidney failure? There is an easy solution, BUT FIRST, it’s important to have a clear understanding of...

WHAT YOUR KIDNEYS REALLY DO FOR YOU EVERY DAY.

It’s their critical job to filter blood (about 1700 quarts a day), ridding the body of waste products.

The kidneys filter metabolic waste products from pro-

10 EASY WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR KIDNEYS AGAINST STONES, MALFUNCTION & FAILURE

1. DRINKWATER! Drink 3 quarts of water daily. Fresh spring water is best. More than anything else, water will help cleanse your kidneys and keep them free of acid waste accumulation.

2. ELIMINATE SOFT DRINKS! Many soft drinks contain both caffeine and sugar. The excess sugar both dehydrates the body and overstimulates the pancreas to release insulin which is stressful on your heart.

3.ELIMINATE CAFFEINE ANDALCOHOL! Caffeine and alcohol are strong diuretics. For every cup of coffee or glass of beer, the body gives up three glasses of water—which means the body is perpetually dehydrated. People who regularly consume these beverages can never really quench their thirst because their bodies are always running out of water.

4. DRINK LEMON JUICE! Take the juice of one lemon in warm water each morning. It’s a natural liver-and-kidney cleansing tonic.

5. SWEAT MORE! Sweating helps to eliminate toxins through your skin and thus alleviates the load placed on your lungs, colon and kidneys.

6. REDUCE REDMEAT INTAKE! Uric acid kidney stones formwhen we consume excessive amounts of animal protein—especially red meat. If the kidneys don’t remove all the uric acid, it ends up in the areas of the body with the poorest circulation like the toes and the feet and gout crystals (uric acid) are formed.

7. INCREASE YOUR GREENS! When you eat meat, cheese and all processed foods, you are eating acid-forming foods that throw off acid waste that accumulates in the kidneys.When you eat greens or green drinks, you alkalize the body and help cleanse acid waste accumulation.

8. TAKE VIGOROUS EXERCISE! When you walk, run, jump on a mini-trampoline or ride a bike for 20 minutes every day, you help activate the lymph system which helps cleanse the body of toxins and reduces stress on the kidneys.

9. REDUCE USE OF OVER-THE-COUNTER PAINKILLERS! Overthe- counter painkillers must be broken down by the liver and kidneys. Both organs can become extremely taxed, fatigued and worn out by this constant detoxification process.

10. USE KIDNEY CLEAR™ on a regular daily basis to help cleanse, repair and maintain peak kidney function for life.

tein, fat, various minerals, alcohol, drugs, and other ingested toxins.

Your kidneys form the core of your body’s complex filtration system that removes life threatening toxins.

     Said another way: YOUR KIDNEYS ARE YOUR BODY’S INDISPENSIBLE WASTEWATER REMOVAL SYSTEM. WITHOUT YOUR KIDNEYS, YOU DIE! IT’S THAT SIMPLE.

     Much of the water you drink is necessary to clean the blood and flush acid waste out of the body via the kidneys.

     Your kidneys also regulate all your body’s water, electrolytes, monitor the acid/alkaline balance of your blood and help control blood pressure.

     YOU’VEGOTTWOKIDNEYS LOCATED ON EITHER SIDE OF YOUR LOWER BACK (JUST BELOW YOUR RIB CAGE) AND WITHOUT THEIR FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, YOU SIMPLY CANNOTTHRIVE. (Yes, you can live with just one kidney, but who wants to risk the remaining one getting

diseased by the American lifestyle?)

WHAT ARE THE THREE SECRETS TO KEEPINGYOUR PRICELESS KIDNEYS IN TIPTOP FORM?

STRONG KIDNEY SECRET #1

Drink a minimum of 3 quarts of water every day. (That’s probably many more glasses of water than you currently drink!)

By far, the single most important thing you can do to prevent kidney stones is to increase your fresh water intake. Like nothing else in the world, WATER DILUTES URINE and helps prevent concentrations of the minerals and salts that can form stones.

STRONG KIDNEY SECRET #2

Keep a diet low in animal fat, starches and carbohydrates. I know this secret flies in the face of the high protein craze that is now being touted on every TV show in America, but is that baconburger really worth an increased risk for diapers and dialysis? NOWAY!

STRONG KIDNEY SECRET #3

Use KIDNEY CLEAR™ every day. It’s a scientifically developed, 100% natural breakthrough formula that’ll help cleanse, repair and maintain strong kidney function,

WHAT MAKES KIDNEY CLEAR SUCH A POWERFUL FIGHTER FOR YOUR KIDNEY HEALTH?

ASTAXANTHIN for strong kidney function! Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant, is 10 times more effective than beta-carotene and 100 to 500 timesmore effective than vitamin E for inhibiting fat oxidation. It helps to neutralize toxic effects of protein waste in the urine. Plus, it stimulates immune response by increasing the total number of T lymphocyte white blood cells.

CRANBERRY EXTRACT for strong kidney & bladder function! Bladder infections are a common problem for women, accounting for more than 6 million doctor visits each year. Cranberry can help curb bladder problems by preventing bacteria from adhering to the lining of the bladder.

GOLDENROD for strong kidney & bladder function! Goldenrod increases urine flow, helping to wash out bacteria and kidney stones. It also soothes inflamed tissues, calmsmuscle spasms in the urinary tract and helps ease low backache associated with kidney problems.

HOLY BASIL for strong kidney function! Holy basil is one of the “legendary” plants in Ayurvedic medicine for its wide use as an immune booster, anti-inflammatory, anticataract function, antidiabetic action and more. In theWest, it’s known as an adaptogen, a tonic that helps physical and emotional adrenal response return to normal. It’s especially useful to the kidney because it helps detoxify themost harmful urinary waste products.

HORSETAIL for strong kidney function! An ancient herbal remedy, horsetail has traditionally been used to stop bleeding, form collagen, increase urine production and treat rheumatic problems such as arthritis. Horsetail’s greatest value, however, is for treating urinary tract infections, adult incontinence, even bed-wetting in children.

VARUNA for strong kidney function! Ayurvedicmedicine has used varuna bark to treat kidney stones for over 3,000 years. Scientific research has shown that varuna deactivates the enzyme glycolate oxidase. This reduces the body’s production of oxalates, which combine with calcium to form kidney stones. One of the other chemical components, lupeol, reduces the effects of kidney damage.

FOR LIFE.

Together, the special blend of nutrients, antioxidants, herbs and amino acids constitutes the

most powerful kidney cleansing formula on themarket today!
Like nothing else can, KIDNEY CLEAR™ offers your

kidneys a protective shield against the acid-and-sugar waste diet we chase while at the same time it helps cleanse the kidneys and keep them in a state of healthy circulation and discharge.

Introducing the Latest Health Breakthroughs in Longevity Science

Volume 1, Issue 2

Editor’s Note:

    What if I told you that it may be possible for you to live to age 100 or even longer, in better health than you are in right now? And, if you are already experiencing the ill effects of aging,what if I told you that it may be possible for you to look and feel 20 years younger and stay that way beyond the age of 100?

    Aside from the fact that you’d probably call me crazy, I have to tell you that we have never been as close as we are today to actually being able to extend human life!

    In fact, the chances are that this crucial information may allow you to live long enough to take advantage of scientific breakthroughs yet to come. It may even let you extend your life span to 120 years or more, because as you will soon find out, aging is no longer inevitable.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH DISCOVERED!
Fact or Fairytale?

Has medical science discovered the magic bullet that can reverse the aging process and let you slice twenty years off your current age?

It all began in the late fifties with a Russian doctor named Dillman, who described what he believed to be an internal mechanism (or a body clock), which was running down. The center of this body clock was in the area of the brain called the hypothalamus, more specifically, the pituitary gland. Dr. Dillman felt that it was a change in hormone balance, which brought about the aging of the body. He concluded that if he could improve this balance, he could slow down, and possibly even reverse, the aging process.

Bringing this to our modern day, what has since been discovered, is that

the most important of these hormones is human growth hormone, depletion of which causes the degeneration of the body, more commonly known as aging.

Human Growth Hormone (or hGH) affects every cell in our body. All of us tend to have plenty of growth hormone in the pituitary gland, which is where the hormone is produced. The difficult thing is getting the pituitary to release it. When we were young, we released it easily, but as we get older, the pituitary gland just doesn’t release it as easily as it used to.

Originally, it was thought that

human growth hormone was needed only while the body grows, and once maturity is reached, the hormone is no longer necessary. However, studies and research have documented that hGH is vital in virtually all functions of the body, even into old age. The problem is that once the body reaches maturity, the levels of the released hGH start to diminish to the point where the average person’s hGH levels reduce as much as 80% from age 21 to 61. Therefore, as the levels of hGH diminish, so do the proper functions of the organs...and thus, we age.
    In short, this report will unveil many of the vital new discoveries researchers have made in regard to the health-enhancing aspects of human growth hormone operating within the human body. More importantly, we will reveal for you precisely how you can use this inside information to dramatically boost your own personal health and wellbeing. You can achieve andmaintain an extraordinary new vigor and vitality far into the future, regardless of your current age!

    “The overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not inevitable.”
        – Daniel Rudman, M.D.
     How many times have you heard it said, “Old age is not for sissies.” Meaning that life can be terribly hard to bear up to under the threat of sickness and disease associated with old age. But now, due to the miracles of modern medicine, you can take a very different road.

     As you are about to learn, the latest research on longevity has proven you can throw out the medical book on aging, turn your back on the nursing home and take your front porch steps two at a time. You may also be able to say “so long” to almost every old-age ailment and join thousands of people from 35 to 85 who have left behind that gray, stooped stranger in themirror to greet a vibrant, youthful person who looks and feels like amillion bucks every day. This new scientific break-

hrough lets you unlock the secrets of maximum life extension, regardless of your current age.

Medical researchers have discovered how you can increase muscle mass, bolster endurance, supercharge sexual response, melt off fat, restore hair growth, fortify your immune system and improve skin tone. You may also slice 20 years off your age without:

	Drugs
	Synthetic hormones
	Side effects
	Injections
	Diets, or
	Ironman exercises

If you would like to join thousands of people over forty who feel and look like people in their twenties and enjoy better cardiac output, higher energy levels, lower blood pressure, faster wound healing, greater resistance to health problems, then you owe it to yourself to keep reading.

Let’s face it, youthful energy, youthful skin, youthful sex drive and youthful vitality never gets old. Frankly, it’s fun to feel young, look young, and act young. So, how do you stay young? You don’t need to set sail to search for the fountain of youth because it lies within the cells of each of us.

hGH Holds the Key to the Aging Process

Human Growth Hormone (hGH) is perhaps the most important discovery in the history of longevity medicine, a discovery that you absolutelymust know about, particularly if you’re over thirty-five. In fact, according to Richard Marsh, M.D., “Studies indicate hGH deficiency is relevant to health and responsible for early onset of degenerative disease, or even premature death.”

Human Growth Hormone (hGH),

also known as somatotropin, is produced in the pituitary gland on command from the hypothalamus gland. hGH works much of its antiaging magic at night while you sleep. The pituitary gland secretes hGH in small bursts during the first few hours of deep sleep.

Unlike any other hormone the body produces, hGH presents the thrilling prospect of arresting the aging process while achieving maximum health, while at the same time building leanmuscle and eliminating excess body fat.

Why? Because while you sleep, it stimulates the growth and maintenance of bone tissue and muscle mass and helps the body repair itself, replacing old cells with fresh ones by using amino acids (the building blocks of protein) to synthesize new molecules and tissues. When sufficient quantities of hGH are released to ensure this nightly repair, the effects of aging are put on hold.

Why hGH is the Ultimate Antiaging Medicine?

hGH is one of the many endocrine hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, melatonin and DHEA that all decline in production with age.

While all hormones are important, hGH reaches far beyond the scope of any other hormone. Not only can it prevent biological aging, it can also reverse a broad range of signs and symptoms associated with the aging process. hGH affects every cell in the body andwashes away the “disease” of aging. With a steady release of hGH in the body:

	The immune system is revitalized.
	Heart attack and stroke risk factors are diminished.
	Emphysema patients find their oxygen intake improves.
	Osteoporosis is prevented.

	Wrinkled skin is restored to youthfulness.
	Sexual vitality is restored.
	Hair color is restored.
	Brain shrinkage is stopped, and that’s just for starters because, there is more...

Are You Ready to Melt Off Years of Fat?

     No problem. According to recent medical research, hGH revs up the metabolism to former highs, reducing the abdomen, hips, waist and thighs while at the same time increasingmusclemass. In 1989, Dr. Franco Salamon in London, England found that hGH dispensed to adults with deficient levels showed an increase in lean body mass by a remarkable 10% and a 7% reduction of body fat.

     As a powerful aphrodisiac, hGH restores sexual potency and sexuality in older men by 75%... according to a study conducted by Dr. Chein at Palm Springs Life Extension Institute.

     As a mood elevator, hGH restores a youthful sense of well-beingand a zest for life along with the deepest levels of sleep.

hGH Restores Youthful Skin and Hair and Helps Remove Cellulite

Referred to as “Cosmetic Surgery in a Bottle,” hGH helps remove facial wrinkles. Your skin regains thickness and youthful contours, as it becomes more elastic and hydrated. Medical scientists and doctors also report dramatic results in cellulite removal, and hair and nail growth improvement.

hGH and Osteoporosis

Adults who are hGH deficient are known to have low bone density. hGH therapy has been shown to have a remarkable effect on the formation of new bone.
According to Dr. Dorman,

coauthor of Growth Hormone: Reversing Human Aging Naturally, published by Longevity News Network, “With standard therapy as it exists, most medical doctors would not expect to see any measurable increase in bone density in one year, yet increases of 3% to 5% per year are standard of many patients receiving hGH therapy.”

There is no other substance known to medical science that has such a far-reaching ability to prevent, and even reverse, the aging process. According to Dr. Richard Marsh, M.D., one of the world’s foremost longevity experts, “Increasing levels of hGH in an older person is equivalent to giving water to someone who’s dying of thirst.”

hGH Signals a “Paradigm Shift” in Orthodox Medical Diagnosiss

     Dr. Marsh reports, “The connection between hGH (Human Growth Hormone) deficiency, aging and disease is now very well established. This knowledge is now leading to a paradigm shift in orthodox medical diagnosis and treatment.”

     Longevity medicine promises to provide major breakthroughs in the management of not just body shape and function, but also many difficult disease states—including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and autoimmune illnesses.

     Antiaging is no longer a specialty reserved for the wealthy. It is rapidly becoming central to mainstream medicine. Experienced medical practitioners are using sophisticated hormonal and age parameter screening before tackling treatment regimens.

     Central to this new thinking is elevating hGH levels to stimulate unprecedented healing and rejuvenation. But before we discuss the most exciting new development in antiaging science, let’s take a look at how the amazing hGH story unfolded in just the last decade.

hGH Breakthrough First Reported in the New England Journal of Medicine

In 1990, Dr. Daniel Rudman, Director of Geriatric Medicine at the Chicago Medical School University of Health Science, stunned the world by reporting the results of his experiments with Human Growth Hormone in the The New England Journal of Medicine. Over 6 months, he injected hGH into a study group of 12 men (aged 61 to 81) and managed to reverse their biological age by 10 to 20 years.

During that period, Dr. Rudman recorded a reduction of their body fat by an average of 14%. Lean muscle mass increased by almost 9%. Their skin grew measurably thicker and more youthful looking. The men reported more energy and increased sex drive.

A Second Famous hGH Study Reveals Equally Impressive Findings

     Since Dr. Rudman’s landmark study, thousands more additional studies have been conducted worldwide. Researchers have documented over and over again that hGH cannot only retard aging but actually reverse the entire aging process from head to toe.

     One of the impressive hGH follow- up studies took place at the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute under the direction of Dr. Edmund Chein, M.D. Dr. Chein followed a growth hormone protocol that involved restoring hGH levels with low dose, highly frequent injections.

     Using this protocol, Dr. Chein developed a program which has been 100% effective for all of his patients. He guarantees that his patients will experience an increase in bone density of 1.5 to 2.5% every 6 months as well as a loss of 10% body fat and an increase in muscle mass. These processes may continue until the patient attains the body composition of a twenty-five-year-old.

The test results that follow were derived from 208 randomly selected questionnaires that were completed byDr. Chein’s patients during the term of their therapy between 1994 and 1996.

Despite these remarkable results, there was one colossal drawback to hGH injections: they cost about $1000 per month and were out of reach to all except the wealthy. But then a second discovery in 1997 ushered in the start of what is being referred to as, “the amazing ageless society.”

There is a Better, Faster, Easier, CheaperWay to Gain the Benefits of hGH Therapy!

In 1997, Dr. L. E. Dorman made a startling presentation before the American College for the Advancement of Medicine. His findings revealed that hGH production most certainly declines after 30, but there’s an even more rapid decline, which speeds up aging — the body’s ability to release and use the hGH it produces.

His groundbreaking research concluded there was no need to inject hGH into the body. Rather, what was needed was a natural method to release the body’s own natural hGH.

A SecretaWhat?

“Secretagogue compounds, which when taken orally act as precursors or stimulants to the production and release of the body’s own hGH.”
               –Richard Marsh, M.D.

     Doctors Dorman and Marsh, as well as other medical researchers, have identified growth hormone releasers called secretagogues. These remarkable compounds could very well put an end to aging, as we know it. These natural compounds (consisting of specific amino acids, proteins and botanical extracts) enhance the body’s production, release and utilization of hGH.

     So, how do these special releasing compounds work? These incredible

supernutrients, which consist mainly of a stacked amino acid complex (SAAC), stimulate receptors in the pituitary and hypothalamus glands and help release the body’s own hidden stores of growth hormone — regardless of age!

In fact, according to the latest medical research, these natural hGH releasers may have the ability to mimic the body’s youthful hGH secretion patterns more effectively than any other hGH therapy previously available.

NOT a Hormone, but a Natural Substance with the Potential for Better Results!

     It’s important to mention that a growth hormone releaser (or a secretagogue) does not contain the actual growth hormone itself. The definition of a secretagogue is really a catalyst, which stimulates the body to secrete its own hormone. In other words,when you use it, you’re not taking the actual growth hormone.You’re taking a natural nutrient that can help the body release its own growth hormone.

     These secretagogues are the new miracle workers of longevity medicine. They are powerful, safe, and inexpensive. Secretagogues help release hGH andmay even be a better choice than painful injections of hGH—without the side effects or the $1,000-a-month price tag.

“Natural secretagogues may be our best hope for raising hGH in an entirely physiologic manner because of the ability to stimulate the endocrine system to release its own hGH.”           –Dr. L. E. Dorman

“In many situations, secretagogues are not only as effective as hGH injection, but also have distinct advantages.” –Richard Marsh, M.D.

Most Advanced Secretagogue Formula Now Available!

During the course of our research

on hGH, we reviewed and analyzed many “secretagogue” products. We narrowed down the pack to what we feel is the best-quality hGH releaser on the market today. Secretagogue hGH manufactured by the Institute for Vibrant LivingTM, a company based in Arizona, gets our vote hands down.
Why do we feel their product to be superior to all the rest? For starters, this company had been around the longest and had the most dramatic track record with users of their product. Their product called Secretagogue hGH Plus™ had been scientifically backed, medically proven, people-tested and performed like no other hGH formula we found. Just consider a fewof the “success” stories we came across frompeople using Secretagogue hGH Plus™, in some cases, for just a few days.

Notes From Users

“I have been taking Secretagogue hGH for 4 months now. I am 61 years old and have noticed the following results. There is less gray in my hair, I have lost 27 lbs and 2 inches off my waist. I also have more sexual drive (according to my lady.) Thank you for introducing me to a great product.” –H. Anderson, Jacksonville, FL

“I think it is about time I am writing to you to let you know just how wonderful this Secretagogue hGH is making me feel. Some five months ago I received your newsletter. Most times I throw this type of literature into the trash can without giving it a second thought, but for some reason I started to read this one and couldn’t stop reading until I had read the entire journal. My good impression of this journal prompted me to order the product (Secretagogue hGH) immediately. My reward for this effort, some three weeks later, I no longer had those agonizing arthritis pains in the legs and arms. I notice a healthy enhancement through- out my entire body, and when I tell people that I will be seventy-years-old the month of February, they tell me I don’t

look that old. I tell them that I owe my young looks to the wonderful Secretagogue hGH. Now they want to know how to get this wonderful product. I am telling them how!” –J.A. McCullough, PA

“I have been taking Secretagogue hGH for nine months and have already had more energy and am sleeping much better. Each morning I feel more vibrant in my movements. My body is firmer with less flabbiness. After taking this product I feel just great; I call it “food from the Gods.” I intend to take it for the duration.” –Grace H. Martins, GA

“Since taking Secretagogue hGH, I rarely have to get up at night for something to eat. Also, there is no longer any pain in my right hand. Another noticeable change that I may not have thought of had it not happened just a short while ago is the cracking noises when I move my head. This no longer happens. And finally, the last time I went to the credit union I still held on to the railing, but, instead of the usual right foot to first step, left foot to first step, I put my right foot to the first step, then left foot to second step all the way to the top, and then, grinning thought, “look what I just did!” I will be 80 years young as of March 14, 2002.” –E. J. Salt Lake City, UT

“With the help of Secretagogue hGH, I feel confident that I’ll live to be 120 - happy, healthy, and useful. My energy level is high. This allows me to climb on the roof to prune my many trees. I also attend college classes two days a week! At 84, I drive everywhere, care for all my own needs, enjoy an active social life and at last my memory is improving!” –E. S. California

“Secretagogue hGH has caused new hair growth, as well as a firming up of my face. People cannot believe I am 66-years-old. I look more like 50. I am thrilled with the results of this great product and I plan on continuing.

It is a great age reversing product for me. My memory is better too!” –A.M. R.Meridian, ID

“I’m almost 80 and have only used Secretagogue hGH for one month. I keep thinking that it’s a coincidence, but I have been relieved of sharp pains in my arthritic wrist and also pain in my hip.” –E. F. Jetmair,MD

“In 3 weeks I have noticed a more positive attitude and more energy. The attitude change in itself is worth the price because it just makes life more enjoyable. I walk a lot of stairs for my job and hGH seems to have improved the pain inmy knees after only three weeks!” –Greg Hamm, OH

“I am 62 years old and have been diagnosed with hyperactive thyroid, congestive heart failure, greatly reduced heart output down to 23%, and liver problems, as well as nightly trips to the bathroom three to four times a night, also high blood pressure. I really didn’t expect much from Secretagogue hGH but I thought I would try it and get my money back if it didn’t work. I got a six months supply because I know natural products take time. My high blood pressure is down 15 points,my energy is up,my skin is thicker and does not tear, scars and age spots are leaving, muscle tone is getting better, hair is healthier. Trips to the bathroom now are one per night. I have not had tests yet to find out about technical improvements, but I know I feel better and am looking forward to the next 3 months. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRODUCT!” –D. B. Edwards, FL

“I have been told that I look younger than my years. My hair retains its natural brown color, I have higher energy levels, skin has improved with less wrinkles.My triglycerides have reduced to normal. The best product I have ever used for the body!” –C. J. Surprise, AZ

“I really like Secretagogue hGH, the flavor is pleasant. I think it has given me great energy. I can get a lotmore done than I used to without sagging. I am89 1/2-years-young, only getting a little tired when vacuuming and scrubbing. I think Secretagogue hGH has helpedmy sleep pattern. I can sleep longer during the night between bathroomtrips,which were every two hours, and now sometimes 3-1/2 hours.” – E.B. Canon City, CO

“After using Secretagogue hGH for just a few weeks, I noticed my energy level had increased along with my mental clarity. In 1996, I had back surgery and was off for a year. I had started to wonder if I could keep going. That’s when along came the information on your product. God bless who created Secretagogue hGH and put a price on it that people can afford. I am 60-years-old doing what I love best, even though I was told I would never be able to work with animals again. Fooled them, dear hearts. ” –J.C.T. Cottonwood, AZ

“I have been taking the Secretagogue hGH for almost three months and I am very satisfied with the results. I have always been a little fat especially in my waist, but now I am no longer fat. I notice a tremendous amount of sexual energy. I am 67 and I feel great. A lot of people say that I look younger. I was almost always depressed, but it is disappearing. My wife is taking the product and she tells me that her waist is returning to her younger form.” –J. Hernandez, San Juan, PR

“My experience with Secretagogue hGH is extremely positive. I was getting very concerned about feeling old and decrepit. I was having stiffness and hip pain which I tried to ignore but it got my attention when I jumped out of the chair and screamed from the sudden sharp pain in both hips and almost fell. This was the motivation for trying Secretagogue hGH. I am overjoyed with the results. The pain

relief was gradual. I could still feel twinges at 3 months. In 5 months time of taking Secretagogue hGH, I have forgotten the pain and can move freely with no stiffness anywhere. I have total hip pain relief, which I attribute to adding Secretagogue hGH tomy supplements.” – C. S. registered nurse age 59

Frequently Asked Questions About SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus™

Since we first published news of Human Growth Hormone (hGH) — the all-natural, antiaging substance that’s been clinically proven to reverse aging by as much as 20 years — we’ve received hundreds of questions about hGH precursors and the product we recommend called Secretagogue hGH Plus™. We’d like to summarize those questions here to help clarify our views of this remarkable remarkable longevity breakthrough...

WHAT IS SECRETAGOGUE hGH? Secretagogue hGHPlus™ is a human growth hormone releaser. It’s an all natural base of amino acids, protein fragments, peptides and complex polysaccharides that, when taken orally, stimulates the release of the body’s own remarkable antiaging hormone—hGH.

WHAT BENEFITSMAYONE EXPECT? We have gathered firsthand reports and the benefits include: weight and bodyfat reduction, increased muscle mass, improved skin texture, increased energy, improved sleep, reduced stress, improved sexual function, lower levels of blood pressure and cholesterol, and improved immune response.

AT WHAT AGE SHOULD A PERSON TAKE AN hGH RELEASER? Anytime after 35. Ideally, you want tomaintain your appearance and current biological age for as long as possible.

HOW LONG BEFORE RESULTS CAN BE SEEN? Most people report in 2 to 3 weeks that they experience higher levels of energy, increased concentration, better sleep patterns and reduced appetite. In 3 months, you may notice enhanced skin condition, fat loss and improved muscle tone. In 6months, we see themost remarkable changes including increased sexual response, improvedmemory, new hair growth, improved skin texture, improved muscle mass and better resistance to common illness.

WHAT OTHER LIFESTYLE CHANGES ARE REQUIRED? The more natural and unprocessed foods you eat, the better the results will be with Sectretagogue hGH Plus™. Refined, processed foods, excess sugar, alcohol and smoking can inhibit the amount of growth hormone that’s released.

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE SECRETAGOGUE hGH PLUS?Secretagogue hGH Plus™ is most effective when taken before bedtime to enhance and mimic the circadian growth hormone release and fat burning potential. Second best, in the morning.Many athletes take it an hour before working out. Growth hormone enhances exercise and exercise enhances growth hormone.

Just 6 Months to SEE a Completely NewYOU!

By age 60, more than half of our hGH reserves are already exhausted and so most of us show the signs of the “flab and drag” associated with aging. By age 60, our get-up-and-go has just about got-up-and-gone.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Millions will continue to hobble down that dreary, aging road, complaining about wear and tear, rising medical bills, always fearful of the next illness poised to strike, but not you. You could have a very different youthful future ahead of you.

Bear in mind, you can’t reverse the ravages of time overnight. But, if you do use Secretagogue hGH Plus™ releaser, you can count on some remarkable benefits. And you’d better buckle up for the amazing youthful energy coming your way over the next two to six months.

	SLEEP better and gain more energy.
	ENJOY better sexual performance, decrease body fat without dieting.
	INCREASE your strength, muscle tone and flexibility and sexual stamina.
	BOOST your memory, improve skin tone, and help lower cholesterol.

And reports from users indicate that over the next six months as the amount of hGH in your bloodstream increases, all of the above changes will become increasingly more dramatic and evident to you and your loved ones. Finally, after 6 months, the person you see in the mirror could very well look and feel 20 years younger than you do now.

Why SECRETAGOGUE hGH Plus™Formula is the Most Advanced in theWorld

“The extraordinary capacity and functionality of this product comes as a result of the highest quality standards from formulation to finish.”
                    – Kathy Nasic
          Analytical Science MS

     Secretagogue hGH Plus™ is the world’s exclusive proprietary blend of amino acids and precursors, nutrients designed to enhance the body’s natural production of Human Growth Hormone (hGH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1).
     Bear in mind that hGH is secreted in very brief pulses during the early hours of sleep and remains in circulation for only a few minutes. hGH is quickly absorbed by the liver and converted to its powerful growth promot-

ing metabolite, Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). In this unique “dynamic duo” combination, increased hGH and increased IGF-1 levels have been shown to:

	INCREASE muscle mass.
	DECREASE body fat.
	SPEED recovery from injury and training.
	INCREASE immune functions throughout the body.

     Secretagogue hGH Plus™ a proprietary formula, contains a blend of amino acids clinically proven to raise hGH levels. Ingredients include Citrulline, L-glutamine, Glycine, Llysine, L-tyrosine, Glutamic Acid, Larginine, GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) and Broad Bean, a natural source of the amino acid L-dopa which helps increase plasma growth factors.

     Secretagogue hGH Plus™ is the only hGH formula that contains ZMA™, a totally unique, anabolic mineral support combination containing containing zinc monomethionine aspartate, magnesium aspartate and vitamin B6 in the exact ratios needed to help the body produce its own hGH. ZMA™ has been clinically proven to boost the levels of both insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and free testosterone, plus enhancemuscle strength. ZMA™ is designed to fortify the release of the body’s own hGH repair of tissues, anabolic hormone production and muscle growth during peak times when these functions occur.

     Another totally unique ingredient to Secretagogue hGH Plus™ is Citrulline. Researchers on the cutting edge of antiaging medicine have identified this compound as the newest, most exciting and powerful hGH releaser…only available in our Secretagogue hGH Plus™ formula. Generated from L-glutamine, citrulline is an important nonessential amino acid that works to detoxify the liver of ammonia. Citrulline production in the

liver drops as we age causing a dangerous buildup of ammonia surrounding the tissues. This results in fatigue, inflammation and a weakened immune system. Citrulline is key in increasing the body’s production of nitric oxide. This helps to lower blood pressure and increase blood flow.

     In the course of our research, we discovered that Secretagogue hGH Plus™ uses a unique, proprietary “effervescence” formulation. Its carbonation leads to a much faster assimilation in the body. According to Dr. Dorman, “the study on L-glutamine that produced the most significant elevation in hGH, administered the amino acid in a carbonated drink solution.” Moreover, Secretagogue hGH Plus™ is not just another supplement in a capsule that your body must first break down before it can be absorbed and utilized. Instead, it’s a pleasant tasting fizzy drink you take once a daymixed in 4 ounces of water on an empty stomach for five days. Skip two days and repeat the cycle.

     It truly is the one drink you’ll look forward tomost because of how you’ll begin to feel within a few days or weeks. (But it’s important to remember that the most startling changes and youthful results should occur over 6 months!)

     By delivering its nutrients in this easy-to-absorb effervescent fashion, Secretagogue hGH Plus™ helps your body maximize the benefits of those nutrients immediately and completely. (However, it’s extremely important that one follow the directions to the letter. This will help ensure that you give yourself every chance for receiving the optimum benefits!)

Available at a Tiny Fraction of Injection Cost!

Best of all, Secretagogue hGH Plus™ costs a tiny fraction of hGH injections — and thousands of people, from age 35 to 90, have experienced a vital new lease on life which they never dreamt possible before using the product.

For just $69 — a lot less than a tune-up for your car — you can give your body the tune-up of a lifetime that'll keep it running at peak performance. You can search the world over and not find a "secretagogue" formula that offers you so much clinically tested, medically proven rejuvenation for so very little.

Still Not Convinced?

We were also skeptical, but after taking a close look at the supporting evidence, we tested and actually used the product ourselves. This product’s unique ability to make profound changes in the human body made believers out of us. So, now it's your turn.

Just think back to a time in your life when nothing slowed you down. Your energy was at its peak. You looked and felt great. Chances are it was in your twenties when your hGH levels were at their peak.

Think You Can't Have Those High- Energy Days Back?

     Think again because, according to Dr. Richard Marsh, "It's really possible to regain youthful energy when your body is able to release and use the hGH it already has."

     Because of increased pollution levels, increased stress levels, poor diet and sedentary life-styles, fatigue is the #1 health complaint in America today, but don't let that curse become your future health story.

     Turn another page. Take another road. Put a new, youthful spring in your step that can't be stopped with the latest breakthrough in longevity medicine.

VITAL NEWS ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR VISION

Studies Reveal Why Many Vision Supplements Could Leave You Blind.

Only one formula provides optimal key nutrients in a highly bioavailable form.This unique proprietary formula has helped countless people AVOID,STOP orREVERSE:

	Blurred vision		Poor night vision		Floaters
	Cataracts		Macular degeneration		Glaucoma

      If you ever worry about your declining eyesight, or the threat of potential blindness as you age, you’re not alone.

      And, unfortunately, a recent study by the National Eye Institute indicates that your worries may be well-founded.

   According to the NEI study,

more Americans than ever are facing the threat of blindness from age-related eye disease.

Over one million Americans aged 40 and over are currently blind, and an additional 2.4 million are visually impaired. And here’s the worst news:

These numbers are expected

1000 N Green Valley Pkwy Ste 440 #301 Henderson, NV 89074-6175

Read the amazing story of how one woman’s vision was restored from blindness. Page 6

to double over the next 30 years as the Baby Boomer generation ages.

The NEI study identified the major causes of vision problems as:

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD):More than 1.6 million Americans over age 60 have advanced AMD. It is the most common cause of blindness and vision impairment in Americans aged 60 and older.

Cataracts: Cataracts affect nearly 20.5million Americans age 40 and older.

Glaucoma: More than 2 million Americans suffer with this chronic disease that often leads to blindness. Another two million have it, and don’t even know it.

Fortunately many studies confirm that specific natural supplements, particularly antioxidants, can be very effective in combating conditions like macular degeneration. These eye-targeted supplements are shown to help prevent and even reverse many eye problems.

In the journal, Archives of Ophthalmology, Lee Jampol of the Department of Ophthalmology at Northwestern University concluded that “those patients of any age who [are at risk for] AMD should consider taking a supplement containing these dosages of antioxidants ...”

Is your vision supplement helping you ... or robbing you blind?

     According to an analysis by the research company, Packaged Facts, Americans spent approximately $4.7 billion on nutritional supplements in 2006, with a good chunk of that going for vision supplements.

     The problem is, many of the supplement formulations on the market today just don’t work.

     This is no secret. You, or someone you know, have probably tried vision supplements and stopped using them. Why? Because you couldn’t see any difference or improvement.

     When you use supplements that don’t work, it’s like being robbed.

Only they’re robbing you of more than your hard-earned money. They may also be robbing you of your vision.

Recent studies show there are 3 main reasons why vision supplements don’t work:

1.   Incomplete nutrients

2.   Inadequate dosage

3.   Poor bioavailability

     So here’s a more detailed look at what to watch out for before you try any vision supplement.

1. Make sure your vision supplement contains eye-targeted nutrients.

     Two of the main sources of eye problems and disease today are sunlight and pollution.

     With UV rays constantly assaulting your eyes, plus relentless exposure to chemicals and pollution, your eyes are among the

first organs in your body to be attacked by rogue cells called “freeradicals.”

     These free-radical cells affect your body through oxidation. They attack your eyes in the same way that rust attacks metal.
     In your eyes, free-radicals cause damage that breaks down your optic blood vessels, nerve tissues and retinal cells. This can lead to decreased vision, eye disease, and eventually blindness.

     Current research reveals you can defend your eyes against this constant attack by supplementing with high-powered, eye-specific antioxidants.

     The highest potency antioxidant supplement targeted for the eyes is called lutein. Numerous studies confirm the effectiveness of lutein for maximizing eye health and vision.
     Besides lutein, there are actually 24 additional nutrients specifically known to aid eye health and vision. (See the side bar on page 3.)

     Yet most supplements only include a few of these, thereby leaving you, the unsuspecting user, unprotected and vulnerable to eye disease and blindness.

All nutrients are NOT created equal

Even if you are diligent to check the ingredient panel to ensure you get a supplement that includes many known vision nutrients, your vision may still be at risk.

For example, you will find that most vision supplements actually do contain lutein.

     And you might feel comforted that your eyes are receiving maximum protection.

     But you would be wrong.

     You see, virtually every supplement uses lutein extracted only from marigolds.

     This less-effective form of lutein contains waxes, impurities and 10 times more solvent residues than the most potent lutein available.

     Bottom line: with less-effective nutrients, your eyes are not receiving the protection they need ... even though you think you are helping them..

2. Make sure your vision supplement contains the highest effective dosage.

     Even if a supplement appears to contain some of the right nutrients, chances are it does not have them in an effective amount.

     In a study recently published in the Archives of Ophthalmology, researchers specifically observed that only high levels of antioxidants can “significantly reduce the risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which can lead to vision loss.”

     A new study from England published in Clinical Nutrition suggests that “low-dose lutein may not be enough to produce a beneficial effect on eye health.”

     And the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association published a report showing that maximum lutein intake resulted in the lowest rate of macular degeneration.

     So what is the optimal dosage of lutein? The latest research reveals that you need 20 mg. of lutein every day to rejuvenate your eyes and keep the optic blood vessels healthy.

     Yet, manufacturers are all over the board regarding what they include in their products.

     Industry watchdog, The Natural Standard News, recently reported on a comparison between 19 commercially available lutein products.

There was a 900% difference in the variation of suggested dose, ranging from 0.25mg to 22.5mg.

     In the famous “Age-Related Eye Disease Study,” researchers concluded that the average dosages of critical antioxidants being taken by test subjects were all below those established as effective.

     This led them to warn that patients with AMD may not be receiving the dosages they need.

3. Make sure your vision supplement has maximum bioavailability..

     Even if you manage to get the right ingredients and the right dosage, a vision supplement may still be an ineffective waste of money because of reduced bioavailability.

     Bioavailability represents the amount of ingested nutrient that actually makes its way through your body to where it is intended to do its work – in this case, your eyes.

Licensed Eye Doctor Relies on VISION CLEAR™!

“I am writing you per your wonderful product. Ever since I started using Vision “After taking Vision Clear A & B for 1 month, I have noticed a marked improvement in clarity of my vision.

     It is comforting to know that I can help stave off many eye diseases by taking a proactive approach to my ocular health.

     This has been reinforced by the lectures that have been given at state meetings and by local professionals.

     I have a family history of glaucoma and macular degeneration so this is particularly important to me. Many of my patients have experienced similar benefits.”

                     RJ, Austin, TX

Only VISION CLEAR™ from the Institute For Vibrant LivingTM contains 25 nutrients proven to enhance eye health and function. For a limited time you can try VISION CLEAR™ risk-FREE for 60 days. The Institute For Vibrant Living guarantees you’ll see a difference or YOUR MONEY BACK*! (*less s/h)

University in Boston showed that the bioavailability of lutein from various sources can differ by as much as 300%.

So even if you think you are doing all that you can for your vision by taking supplements, you could be wasting your money ... and putting your eyesight at risk.

Failure to properly supplement your eyes can lead to impaired vision ... even blindness.

     Without proper eye nutrition, years of exposure to dangerous free-radicals can leave your eyes defenseless and damaged.

     You may first notice the problem when your vision becomes blurry – less clear and less sharp. You may end up squinting to get things in focus. You start needing increasingly thicker glasses.

     Soon you may notice many of these other signs of eye trouble:

	poor night vision
	bags under the eyes
	Bitot's spots
	bloodshot eyes
	eyestrain and headaches
	seeing “floaters”
	increased sensitivity to sunlight
	dryness

By the time you realize what’s really going on inside, it can be too late. Eye problems can gain a foothold that causes you to:

	lose night vision entirely
	lose peripheral vision
	bump into things
	trip and risk broken bones

Finally, macular degeneration slowly poisons the cells in your eye and weakens your optic blood vessels. Eventually you may become totally blind and lose all your independence and freedom.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can protect your eyes and guard your treasured sight.

Only 1 supplement contains every single vision nutrient ... in the maximum safe, effective dosage ... that is instantly bioavailable to save your eyes.

By all objective standards, the Institute for Vibrant LivingTM, has developed what appears to be the most effective vision formula ever developed. It’s called VISION CLEARTM.

VISION CLEAR™ is a two-part system that provides your body with the most powerful, most effective, and most bioavailable antioxidants targeted for maximum eye health and protection to help ...

	Avoid macular degeneration
	Prevent cataracts
	Avoid glaucoma
	Improve your vision day and night.

Unique 2-part VISION CLEAR™ formula provides all 25 vision-proven nutrients.

All vision supplements contain some eye-health nutrients. But only VISION CLEAR™ fortifies your eyes with all 25 nutrients proven to support improved vision and eye health.
In fact, VISION CLEAR™ provides so many nutrients that they can’t all fit into a single capsule. So

VISION CLEAR™ nourishes your eyes with a unique, powerful 2- part formula.

VISION CLEAR™ Part A is packed with the most proven-effective sources of 2 super-powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants zero-in on your eyes to repair and protect against free-radical damage that causes disease and blindness. These antioxidants include:

Lutein – Formulated with marigold PLUS paprika, zeaxanthin, capsanthin and capsorubin, only VISION CLEAR™ provides lutein in its absolute maximum form.

Zeaxanthin – Carotenoids extracted from marigold flowers, shown to slow macular degeneration.

VISION CLEAR™ Part B fortifies your vision with a scientifically based combination of 23 nutrients that focus on your eyes with laserlike precision.

VISION CLEAR™ Part B incorporates the latest medical research to blend magnesium, quercetin, taurine, glutathione, rutin, bilberry, grape seed extract, inositol, B-2 riboflavin, B-6 pyridoxine, lycopene, manganese, vinpocetine, B-12 cobalamine, alphalipoic acid, astaxanthin, and omegas 3,6 & 9.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid–This natural amino acid is like a supercharger for antioxidants. Experts believe it helps prevent cataracts as it increases the potency of critical nutrients that protect the eye lens from dangerous UV rays.

Astaxanthin – Studies show that this extract from microalgae delivers up to 500 times more power to fight free-radicals than other antioxidants.

Omega-3 – Clinical studies prove that this fatty acid known for heart health is also shown to reduce the incidence of macular degeneration and may help improve focus, color perception and visual clarity.

This unique, all-encompassing, formula makes VISION CLEAR™ the most potent eye nutrition available anywhere.

Only VISION CLEAR’S maximum-strength formula ensures hawk-like vision all day ... and night ... at any age.

     The VISION CLEAR™ formula is backed by the latest science to ensure you get the maximum safe dosage of every eye-specific nutrient.

     For example, other vision supplements may contain anywhere from .25 mg to 15 mg of lutein.

     But VISION CLEARTM is virtually the only eye supplement to support your vision with the clinically proven 20 mg dose.

     And remember, this is 20 mg of lutein derived from VISION CLEAR’S most pure, chemically unaltered form of free lutein found anywhere in the world. So it helps:.

	Improve microcirculation and strengthen retinal tissue
	Protect your eyes from UV damage
	Nourish your eyes even while sleeping

Doctor Is Amazed When Vision Was Restored

“This past year I awoke one morning with an exceptionally painful headache and realized I could not see out of my right eye. An MRI revealed I had a mini arterial stroke that damaged the optic nerve. I was advised to accept the loss of vision in that eye and be grateful my left eye with 20/20 vision was not affected. I was to do my best to preserve and protect it. Here is where your organization comes into the story.

The mailing about Vision Clear seemed to be insurance in protecting my left eye. After using Vision Clear A & B for 6 months I was surprised to find my vision changed..

I was no longer blind. Instead of seeing black, there was a gray band obscuring the upper part of my right eye that would move when I blinked, but I could see, not sharply, but I could see.

When I returned to my original eye doctor, he was amazed because it wasn’t natural to regain sight after the optic was damaged.

I will continue to use your Vision Clear. I wish to express my gratitude to the researchers who developed this product that is so beneficial.”

YG, San Rafael, CA

Introducing the Latest Health Breakthroughs in Longevity Science

Volume 3, Issue 11

Editor’s Note:

What you’re about to read in this Exclusive Health Report will forever change the way you think about the health value of minerals and in particular, the value of fulvic acid which is the secret ingredient that plants need for growth. Many bioscience researchers believe that only oxygen and water are more vital to life than fulvic acid. Why?

Fulvic acid enters into all the life processes of plants and animals. It acts as a free radical scavenger,supplies vital electrolytes, transports nutrients, promotes enzyme production,chelates bulk and trace minerals and much more. You’ll learn how fulvic acid can help improve the absorption rate of all your nutrients – just as it does for plants – so you get the most fuel from your food.

You’ll discover how fulvic acid can increase the absorption of oxygen which lowers your acidity that’s linked to virtually every degenerative disease.

If you’d like to learn what longevity scientists are now saying about neutralizing the adverse effects of age through the daily use of mineral- rich fulvic acid, please read on...

WHAT IS THE SO-CALLED “MIRACLE” OF FULVIC ACID

& WHY DO SO MANY LONGEVITY SCIENTISTS NOW REGARD IT AS CRUCIAL TO HEALTH?

Fulvic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule derived from humic soil, is now recognized by longevity scientists as a crucial element in the long-term maintenance of robust health and wellness.

4. INCREASE the production of your free radical scavengers that neutralize harmful pathogens.

5. DETOXIFY your body of heavy metals absorbed from our polluted environment.

     Imagine no more because we have discovered there’s one amazing ionic mineral liquiddropper formula that’s the perfect, easy-to-use tonic for maintaining robust health and wellness for life.
     It’s called MASTERMIN™ – the ultimate master mineralizer containing Fulvic Acid, Ocean Minerals, Ellagic Acid, Pomegranate Juice Extract, Grape Skin Extract, Lemon Balm Extract, Oregano Extract, and Stevia.
     At the Institute for Vibrant Living™, we’re dedicated to one task: locating, reviewing and recommending nature’s best foods and medicines for your increased wellness and longevity.
     After an extensive two-year review of all the mineral formulas on the market, we’ve identified a fulvic acid based formula that we feel is superior to everything else. More on MASTERMIN ™ in a minute.

THE ANCIENT FUEL OF ALL LIVING PLANTS
     Even a hundred years ago, our soil in America was deep, rich humus that in many places was several feet deep. Some

     farms reported humic that was ten feet deep. That rich soil was teeming with beneficial microbes and mineral salts that created fulvic acid.

     Even in super-rich humus soil, plants can’t uptake undissolved minerals because the molecules are too large to use. That’s where fulvic acid comes to the rescue. It helps to dissolve the large mineral molecules and transport those minerals into root systems.

     Fulvic acids are naturallyoccurring organic acids that are the most vital part of rich soil. It’s a vital life-enhancing acid created in extremely small amounts by the action of millions of beneficial microbes.

     The sole function of fulvic acid is to dissolve all the mineral salts that are in soils into a form that’s available to plants. Once the minerals are dissolved, plants uptake, through their root system, the life-enhancing fulvic substance that’s loaded with dissolved bulk minerals and trace elements.

     How important is the role of fulvic acid?

     Microorganism, fulvic activity in one acre of rich top soil is equal to the energy of 10,000 people doing the same amount of work in the same period of time. In other words, the work accomplished by the fulvic process is irreplaceable.

     This fulvic process worked well for plants, animals and people until modern farming methods started using chemical fertilizers and pesticides that kill the mineral-rich microbes in the soil that create the fulvic. Talk about killing the goose that lays

the golden egg because that’s exactly what we have done – in an attempt to increase production at all costs.

     Without the protection and nourishment of fulvic acid, more and more diseases attack the plants which require more and more pesticides that further destroy the mineral-rich microbes. As a result of this damaging cycle of plant disease and chemical use in modern farming, most fruits and vegetables are robbed of the minerals they once possessed.

     Much worse, without fulvic acid, plants, animals and people are unable to assimilate minerals, vitamins or other nutrients as well as they might which leads to a breakdown in nutrient absorption, immune response and overall health.

THE #1 MIRACLE PLANT FOOD

       Supplements that are high in fulvic acid come from ancient deposits of lush plant matter that were buried millions of years ago before chemicals, pesticides and other dangerous substances existed.

       The fulvic strength of MAS-
TERMIN ™ is derived from one of the world’s richest sources of fulvic acid found in New Mexico. Because fulvic acid carries 70 or more minerals and trace elements, it’s widely regarded as the perfect food for living plant roots.

     As the #1 miracle plant food, fulvic acid contains a vast arsenal of naturally-occurring phytochemicals, antioxidants, free radical scavengers, superoxide dismutase, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, antivi-

ral and antifungal compounds.
Longevity scientists now believe that what fulvic acid does for plants, it can also do for the human body.

WHY IS FULVIC ACID SO BENEFICIAL TO PEOPLE?

Fulvic is often called “Nature’s Miracle Molecule” because it functions as the PREMIER CONDUIT for so many vital life processes that are good for plants, animals and people.

	Fulvic Acid contains over 70 essential minerals that help to alkalize the body and neutralize acid waste from the traditional American diet.
	Fulvic Acid helps to increase the nutritional value and bioavailability of minerals and vitamins consumed in your daily diet.
	Fulvic Acid is the most powerful natural elec - trolyte known and thus helps to restore electrical balance to damaged cells, neutralize toxins and even helps eliminate food poisoning.
	Fulvic Acid is a powerful free radical scavenger.
	Fulvic binds or chelates with heavy metals and bacterial toxins and removes them from the body.
	Fulvic increases enzyme production which is vital for thousands of biochemical reactions.

                            Fulvic makes vitamins and minerals more absorbable by refining them into organic, ionic (water-soluble) forms that are easily

transported into and through membranes and cell walls.

Once the nutrients are dissolved by the fulvic electrolyte, they become bioavailable, mobile and absorbable. Said another way: You get greater benefit from all your nutrients when fulvic acid is part of your daily routine. In fact, fulvic acid is so powerful, that one single molecule is capable of carrying 60 or more minerals and trace elements into the cells.

Think of fulvic acid as the ultimate transporter of nutrients. It makes the cell walls more permeable, so nutrients can more easily enter the cell and cell waste can more easily be eliminated. This increased inflow of nutrients and increased outflow of waste helps maintain cell equilibrium and decreases cellular wear and tear.

INCREASES OXYGEN ABSORPTION AND LOWERS ACIDITY

Fulvic acid, as a name, is a little misleading because fulvic acid assumes an alkaline presence in the body. In fact, fulvic destroys acid in the body fluids which helps increase the amount of oxygen in the blood. A lack of blood oxygen is a major contributing factor for acidity. Most Americans (from age 10 to 90) live on acid food like meat, dairy products and sugar. As a result of poor dietary choices, most Americans suffer from excess body acidity which is associated with numerous health problems including obesity, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, kidney stones, tooth decay, sleep disturbances, depressive disorders, digestive disorders and more.

HELPS IMPROVE ENZYME PRODUCTION

     Research has shown that fulvic acid improves enzymatic reactions in the cells and helps improve enzyme development. Enzymes are essential for digesting food, for brain stimulation, for providing cellular energy and for repairing all tissues, organs and cells. (The human body could not exist without enzymatic action – even if all the right amount of vitamins, minerals, water and other nutrients were present.)

     As such, enzymes are vital catalysts that accelerate thousands of biochemical reactions the body depends on every day.

     Research shows that as we age, the body’s ability to produce enzymes decreases. With decreased enzyme production, you also are likely to see a malabsorption of nutrients, tissue breakdown and weakened immune response.

ONE OF THE BEST FREE RADICAL SCAVENGERS

Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that are extremely unstable and highly reactive. They are believed to be formed by exposure to toxic chemicals found in cigarette smoke, polluted air, industrial and household chemicals, and overexposure to the sun’s rays. Free radicals attack cells’ protective membranes and genetic DNA causing cellular damage to malfunction.

Free radicals are thought to circulate throughout the body, injuring tissue and making cells susceptible to infection and mutation. Fulvic acid bonds to

these free radicals and makes them inactive so they can be flushed from the body.

HELPS TO DETOXIFY HEAVY METALS

Fulvic acid has the ability to neutralize and remove toxic heavy metals and other pollutants from the body. Just as it does with free radicals, it detoxifies pollutants, including herbicides, radioactive elements and toxic metals, by binding to these substances and flushing them out of the body.

A POWERFUL NUTRIENT CHELATOR

Because of Fulvic’s unique molecular structure and low weight, it has the ability to dissolve and bond (or chelate) minerals and nutrients. Nutrients chelated by fulvic are in an ideal form to be absorbed and used by the body’s cells.

THE PLANET’S BEST NUTRIENT TRANSPORTER

Bottom line: Fulvic acid is believed to be Nature’s most powerfultransporter of minerals and helps to rebuild, recharge and reenergize your cells. Like no other natural substance, fulvic acid greatly...

	ENHANCES the bioavailability of important trace minerals.
	HELPS regenerate and prolong the residence time of essential nutrients in the cells.
	MODIFIES THE DAMAGE of toxic compounds such as heavy metals and free radicals.
	Fulvic Acid is a powerful free radical scavenger.
	ENHANCES the permeability for digestive, cir

culatory and cell membranes.

In the science of living cells, fulvic acid is vital in bringing substantial amounts of nutrients and minerals into water solution and delivering their energy to living cells.

As a top notch nutrient transporter, fulvic acid is considered an anti-aging miracle because it helps liberate the body's natural energy and strength while it slows down the wear and tear on cells and organs.

IONIC MINERALS ARE HIGHLY BIOAVAILABLE

     Fulvic acid is now available in a new, easy-to-take “ionic” proprietary formula specially designed for health conscious Americans called MASTERMIN™.

      Ionic Minerals are the smallest possible molecular structure in perfect liquid solution that can enter the cell and be quickly absorbed – so they can start working immediately to improve digestion, circulation and daily energy levels.

     According to international Aruyvedic health expert, Andreas Moritz: “Minerals are commonly made available in three basic forms: capsules, tablets and colloidal mineral water. Before the depletion of soils, plant foods and the mineral- rich water they absorbed were our best mineral providers. When a plant grows in a healthy soil environment, it absorbs existing colloquial minerals and changes them into ionic, watersoluble form. The ionic minerals come in the minute size known as angstrom, whereas the colloquial minerals, also known as

inorganic, metallic minerals, are about 10,000 times larger. Ionic, water-soluble plant minerals are absorbed readily by our body cells. In contrast, colloid particles packed into complex compounds and delivered in pill form stand a chance of less than 1% absorption.”

Just a few drops four times a day directly in the mouth or in a glass of water or juice will help your body achieve an OPTIMAL MINERAL BALANCE that you simply can't derive from the average American diet. (Rest assured the fulvic acid found in MASTERMIN™ is derived from one of the richest deposits of humic soil in the world – located in New Mexico. NO CHEMICALS OR ACIDS ARE USED TO EXTRACT THE FULVIC ACID FROM THE HUMIC DEPOSITS!)

DOCUMENTED MEDICAL USE OF FULVIC ACID

Fulvic acid has been used extensively in China for a wide variety of health problems including skin ulcers, poor immune response, arthritis, ulcerous cornea infection, and colon infections. Clinical medical studies using fulvic acid have been performed on thousands of hemorrhoid patients, which were so successful that the Chinese government had a special pharmaceutical preparation developed for treatment of this condition.

Studies of patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers showed that a 91.1% had their condition improve when treated with fulvic acid. (Treatment showed no side effects and substantially

diminished pain.)

Hospital studies in China show that elderly patients, ages 60-90, when treated with fulvic acid, regained appetite, slept better and became more energetic. (Other hospital studies coming from India show those fulvic acids are considered to be a powerful anti-aging therapy that’s also helpful with symptoms of dementia.)

Chinese doctors now use fulvic- related medicines to reduce inflammation, increase circulation and control bleeding, to regulate the immune and hormone systems, to heal digestive tract disorders and as even as part of their anticancer and antitumor therapy.

CAN'T GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT MINERALS?

     Here's a little-known health fact:
     You can live without vitamins, but without minerals, your brain, your heart and other organs would cease to function.
     Every cell in your body depends on minerals for proper function and structure. Minerals are needed for the composition of body fluids, the formation of blood and bone, the maintenance of nerve function and the regulation of muscle tone.

     Like vitamins, minerals function as “enablers” that allow the body to perform energy production, growth, and elimination.
     No less an authority than Dr. Linus Pauling, the only person ever to win the Nobel Prize twice by himself, says: "YOU CAN TRACE EVERY SICKNESS, EVERY DISEASE AND EVERY

AILMENT TO A MINERAL DEFICIENCY."

     The diet of the typical American is awash in foods that lead to a build-up of energydraining and life-threatening overacidity.

     Over time, overacidity erodes the body's delicate cellular balance and can lead to disruptions of the heart, immune and nervous systems.

     In fact, overacidity has been linked to an increased likelihood of chronic obesity, vulnerability to colds and flu, the slowing of bone and muscle recovery after exertion, mental and physical fatigue, and more.

     MASTERMIN™ features fulvic acid from New Mexico that contains over 70 essential minerals that’ll help to alkalize the body and neutralize acid waste.

HEALTH PROBLEMS FOLLOW MICRONUTRIENT DECLINE

     Thanks to pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones, soil depletion and the other "miracles" of corporate farming, our soil has been leached of the microbes that help manufacture the minerals we need.

     According Dr. Linus Pauling, this stripping of the soil is very likely linked to some common health problems, such as: bronchitis, anemia, diabetes, ulcers, nervous conditions, and even cancer.

     The United States Department of the Interior confirms this bleak picture: our food contains LESS THAN HALF of the vital substances necessary for a long, disease-free life.

Our bodies require 90 different nutrients everyday, including 60 minerals, to stay active and limber. Scientific evidence suggests that approximately 98% of Americans don't get the daily minimum amount of these vital substances.

Longevity researchers worldwide are discovering that increases in human disease are proportionate to the decline in micronutrients in our diets. These parallels are consistent with a serious decline in phytochemical nutrients and enzymes in farming soils, crops, livestock feeds and the human diet. Missing from our soil is the vast arsenal of plant hormones, plant antibiotics, antiviral and antifungal compounds, and plant antioxidants; all of which are being radically compromised by the repeated application of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.

WHAT ARE MINERALS ANYWAY?

Minerals are naturally occurring elements in the earth like iron and copper. Rock and soil are gradually broken down into tiny fragments, a process that can take millions of years. The soil was once teeming with these tiny fragments of mineral salts which were then passed from the soil to the plants through the use of fulvic acid.

Minerals are identified in two groups: bulk minerals and trace minerals. Bulk minerals include calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. These are needed in larger amounts than trace minerals. Trace minerals include chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, sulfur and boron.

Although your body only requires small amounts of trace minerals, they are nonetheless just as vital for lifelong, robust health.

So-called "farm fresh" American produce is robbed of much of its mineral-rich value because of soil depletion and pesticide use. Fulvic acid as found in MASTERMIN™ helps supply the essential minerals now routinely missing in our daily food.

SAY "NO!" TO OLD AGE

     Like no other “ionic” mineral formula, MASTERMIN™ helps to restore your body’s optimal pH range. What is pH? The human body functions best in a slightly alkaline environment. The blood and tissues want to be slightly alkaline. The lower bowel is slightly acid and saliva slightly alkaline.

     Most Americans over 40 are acidic disasters waiting to happen. (We are literally killing ourselves by what we choose to eat and drink because the traditional American diet of meat, cheese, cookies and soft drinks is ALL ACIDIC.)

     Chronic overacidity “rusts” your body tissue and if left unchecked, this overacidity will disrupt all cellular functions including the rhythm of your heart and the electrical firing of your brain.

	Overacidity is what keeps 6 out of 10 Americans overweight.
	Overacidity is what keeps your muscles stiff.
	Overacidity is what keeps your body run-down and vulnerable to colds and flu.
	Fulvic Acid is a powerful free radical scavenger.

Overacidity is what keeps you foggy and unrefreshed when you wake up.

MASTERMIN™ can help change that overacidity into slight alkalinity and when that happens your body will naturally rid itself of acid wastes which are linked to obesity, muscle and joint discomfort, poor immune response, and brain fog.

EIGHT ANTI-AGING FIGHTERS IN ONE FORMULA

If MASTERMIN™ contained only fulvic acid, we would still regard it as an advanced “vibrant life” product, but MASTERMIN ™ contains seven more natural anti-aging allies that you won't find in any other fulvic acid formula.
Consider the restorative properties of each of these allies...

MASTERMIN™ OCEAN MINERALS:

Your body needs mineral and trace elements to maintain strong cellular communication, to retain fluids, to ensure healthy organ function and achieve optimal blood pH. Sadly, the food we consume today contains on average only 25% of the mineral value of the food our forefathers consumed. If our food can’t supply what we need, what’s the second best supply?

MASTERMIN™ contains a wide range of ocean minerals harvested from ancient ocean beds that are free of pollutants; contain the highest quality and purest form of life-enhancing minerals that are very low in sodium.

MASTERMIN™ OCEAN MINERALS:

Ellagic acid is a naturally-

occurring phytochemical found in a variety of plant species. This phytochemical helps regulate plant growth and seed germination. It may also protect plants from cancer-inducing chemicals and heavy metal poisoning.      Research indicates that ellagic acid acts as a scavenger to “bind” and inactivate cancercausing chemicals. Research in animal and laboratory models has found that ellagic acid inhibits the growth of tumors caused by certain carcinogens. A number of double-blind studies of humans are underway to determine the effect of longterm daily concentrated raspberry extract on cancer cell activity in the human colon, prostate and breast.

     A new publication called the “American Cancer Society’s Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods” has documented that ellagic acid is a very promising natural supplement because it causes death of cancer cells in lab tests with no change to healthy cells. (Ellagic acid is widely found in raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, pomegranates, walnuts and pecans.)

     MASTERMIN™ contains ellagic acid that’s an 80% extract from pomegranate skin which is considered one of the very best sources for this remarkable phytochemical.

MASTERMIN™ POMEGRANATE JUICE EXTRACT:

Scientists in Israel have shown that drinking a daily glass of pomegranate juice can reduce the risk of cardiovalsular disease. “Pomegranate juice contains the highest antioxidant capacity compared to other juices, red wine and green tea”,

said Professor Michael Aviram, who led the team of researchers.
     According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, pomegranates are an amazing source of antioxidants, potassium and vitamin C. In fact, pomegranate juice is one of the richest sources of polyphenols, a group of very strong antioxidants believed to neutralize cell damage.
   Besides antioxidants, pomegranate juice contains other restorative properties such as tannins and anthocyanidins, which are regarded by longevity scientists as first-rate disease fighters.

   Bear in mind that pomegranate juice contains 3 times the antioxidant power of green tea or red wine.

MASTERMIN™ GRAPE SKIN EXTRACT:     Red grape skin extract contains a mix of antioxidant polyphenols, flavonoids, catechins and anthocyanidins. Grape seed extract is an antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It helps strengthen blood vessels, improves skin and aids in circulation. As we age, our bodies produce less antioxidants to combat the onslaught of free radicals found in our polluted air, water, soil and food. Grape seed extract contains natural bioflavonoids called proanthocyanidins which help strengthen and protect cell membranes from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Catechins, also found in grape seed extract, help reduce allergic responses by inhibiting enzymes involved in the formation of histamine.
  Grape seed extract provides cardiovascular protection by preventing oxidation of lipoproteins (LDL) making them less

likely to stick to blood vessel walls. It also makes the linings of the arteries more resistant to damage and helps control excessive clotting. Grape seed extract strengthens the capillaries ensuring a good oxygen supply to the brain and throughout the body. It also affects bloodfluid balances and therefore may be helpful in lowering blood pressure.

MASTERMIN™ OREGANO EXTRACT:  Carvacrol, one of the oils found in oregano, has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth. In Mexico, researchers have compared oregano to Tinidazol, a commonly-used prescription drug used to treat Giardia, and found that oregano was more effective.

     Oregano contains numerous phytonutrients, including thymol and rosmarinic acid, that function as powerful antioxidants that offset oxidative stress throughout the body.

     On a per gram basis fresh weight, oregano has demonstrated 42 times more antioxidant activity than apples, 12 times more than oranges and 4 times more than blueberries.

MASTERMIN™ LEMON BALM:     Lemon balm has a tonic effect on the heart and circulatory system and is thought to help lower blood pressure. It has strong antiviral and antibacterial properties that have been confirmed in both laboratory and clinical trials. It’s also a slightly sedative herb, useful at lowering fever, relaxing spasms and improving digestion.

MASTERMIN™ STEVIA!Stevia has been used as a natural sweetener in South America for 1500 years. Research shows

that stevia can actually regulate blood sugar (and stabilize energy throughout the day) and it’s sold in South America as an aid to people with diabetes and hypoglycemia. Better yet, stevia is thought to be an effective aid in weight loss because it contains NO calories. Best of all, stevia helps ensure that MASTERMIN™ tastes great.

NEUTRALIZE ACID WASTE AND INCREASE ANTIOXIDANT EXPOSURE

MASTERMIN™ harnesses the power of fulvic acid to help improve your digestion, increase vital enzyme activity, transform food into fuel more efficiently and carry more nutrients and minerals to your body's cells. (Remember this one fact, if nothing else: fulvic acid contains over 70 essential minerals that help to alkalize the body and neutralize acid waste from the traditional American diet, and that alone makes it a powerful tool for achieving lifelong health!)

MASTERMIN™ harnesses the power of some of the most potent antioxidants on the planet like pomegranate juice extract, ellagic acid, grape skin extract and oregano extract. These antioxidants have proven to be especially effective as free radical scavengers which limit the cellular damage done by increased pollutants found in our air, water and even our food.
