Do you want to live longer? We all do.
In industrialized countries, the average lifespan is over 88 years for females and over 83 years for males. More than half of women die after 90 years old. That sounds pretty good.
In the United States, the average life span is much lower though it was steadily increasing since 1993. But after 2014, lifespans began to decline. In 2014, the average life span was 78.9 years. A year later, it dropped to 78.8 years. The cause? Mortality due to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and so on.
Anti-aging is not only about living longer but living a quality life in our later years. According to studies, the essence of anti-aging is really preventing three major diseases that can either shorten our life span or stop us from enjoying our golden years (
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences. 2016; 37(5): 331):
- Cardiovascular disease
- Neurodegenerative disease
- Tumors/Cancer
These diseases are the major causes of mortality in the United States today. Cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis, stroke or heart attack can suddenly cut a life short. Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and Parkinson’s disease are fast becoming a major issue as the aging population grows. These conditions are debilitating, preventing us from enjoying life as we grow old. And, of course, cancer not only shortens lifespan but also inflicts much suffering among its victims.

TARGETS OF ANTI-AGING |
|
In order to increase life span, there are various targets that can address the three categories above:
|
|
Reduce Oxidative Damage with OxyPower, Vein Lite and Wine Extract |
|
Oxidative damage can cause blood vessel damage, atherosclerosis and heart disease. To minimize this damage, antioxidants like Vitamins A, C and E as well as CoQ10 and quercetin have been known to help.
Even better, OXYPOWER is a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation and can protect and repair vascular endothelial cell damage. Vein Lite also contributes towards protecting the blood vessels from oxidative damage. Wine Extract contains resveratrol which is also a power antioxidant.
Various studies have linked cardiovascular disease (CVD) to many neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Parkinson’s disease (PD). Researchers have found that correcting damage caused by CVD early on in life can reduce the risk of AD, PD or similar conditions.

Reduce and Repair Mitochondrial Dysfunction with OxyPower |
|
Mitochondria are the power houses of cells. When they don’t function as they should, our bodies are not able to convert food and oxygen into energy, leading to problems such as:
- Reduced muscle strength
- Retarded growth
- Induced epilepsy/seizures
- Heart enlargement
- Heart failure
- Liver disease
- Kidney failure
- Sudden stroke
- Diabetes
OxyPower can repair mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, it protects mitochondrial DNA damage and repairs mitochondrial DNA to help with neurodegenerative diseases and increasing life span. |
|
Stop DNA methylation and reduce homocysteine with Asparagus Extract |
|
Asparagus Extract contains organic natural folate which is excellent for preventing DNA methylation, which then reduces the risk of cancer. It also reduces homocysteine levels, which can contribute towards heart disease and cancer risk.
|
Adjust telomeres and increase Caspase 7 with Reishi Spore Extract for anti-aging and cancer
|
|
Reishi Spore Extract is unique in that it adjusts the telomerase enzyme, which is responsible for adding the primer at the end of the DNA strand during the cell replication cycle. In normal cells, the primer becomes too short to divide after 50 cell divisions (Figure 1). The cell then dies a natural death (also called apoptosis).
In aging cells, however, the primer is too short so there are not enough cell divisions. In this case, Reishi Spore Extract can increase telomerase activity, making the primer longer and allowing the normal number of cell divisions.
In cancer cells, telomerase is very active. It allows the addition of the primer even after 50 cell divisions, leading to continuous cell replication. Essentially, the cell doesn’t die. With Reishi Spore Extract, telomerase enzyme activity is reduced, making sure that cancer cells’ DNA will be unable to divide and the cells eventually die.
Additionally, Reishi Spore Extract also contains active components that target caspases, which are directly involved with apoptosis (cancer cell death). Caspase 3 is the major inducer of apoptosis. In cells that are deficient in Caspase 3, Caspase 7 is the backup. However, when XIAP (X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein) binds to Caspase 7, cancer cells lose their apoptosis function again. This is where Reishi Spore Extract becomes useful. The I-lys compound in Reishi Spore Extract can selectively inhibit the XIAP-Caspase 7 complex, releasing Caspase 7 to do its job and induce apoptosis.
Take Reishi Spore Extract with Angiostop and Revivin to better manage cancer. |
Angiostop for Cancer Management and Wet Macular Degeneration
|
|
Angiostop is a sea cucumber extract proven to have multiple mechanisms against cancer. In the newly published article on Angiostop. Its various mechanisms are discussed: angiogenesis inhibition, receptor tyrosine kinase inhibition and caspase activation. All these functions serve to suppress cancer more fully.
Angiostop is also beneficial for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is a debilitating disease usually among seniors, robbing them of their vision, sometimes permanently. There are two kinds: dry AMD, which accounts for 90% of the cases and wet AMD, which accounts for 10% of the cases.
Dry AMD is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage. To help correct this, OxyPower, Vein Lite and Jujuchi are excellent supplements.
Wet AMD is characterized by angiogenesis, so Angiostop is recommended. These cases show how effective Angiostop is for wet AMD.
March 2017 – C. Olson, ND from CA, has an 87-year-ld patient with wet AMD. About 7-8 months previously, the blood vessels in her eyes started growing and bleeding, causing vision problems. She almost was unable to drive. Her doctor recommended Avastin injections but she chose to take Angiostop instead (2-3 times daily). Now there has been no further worsening of her wet AMD and bleeding has been minimal, if at all.
S. Pouira, MD (UK) has a 71-year-old female patient with wet AMD who began using Avastin ophthalmic injections (reduce VEGF) in June 2010. By September 2011, her VEGF was still high and her vision poor. So she added Angiostop orally. In March 2012, her VEGF reduced to 510 and she did not need injection in her left eye. In June 2012, she stopped injections in the right eye. She regained vision in both eyes but still continued taking Angiostop. In August 2012, her VEGF level has reduced to within normal range at 445. By October 2012, it reduced further to under 400.

LARGE AND FLESHY EARS A SIGN OF LONG LIFE |
|
Bigger, fuller, fleshier ears are considered a sign of long life. Men with over 7cm in ear length or women with over 6.9 cm ear length are likely to have lifespans of over 90 years.
For instance, we see this in a case from R. Rozich, DC from IL. He has an 86-year-old patient (5’5” height) whose ear length is 10.6cm ( Figure 2). His parents lived to be in their 90s, which means that he definitely has the longevity gene. He himself is already in his 80s.
Taking Reishi Spore Extract can help increase ear length up to 2mm in 5-10 years. However, don’t rely on ear length as the sole predictive marker for longevity. There are other markers that signify factors that can affect longevity.
For example, a 66-year-old male has an ear length of 8.6cm and ear crease ( Figure 3). From previous newsletters, we have discussed that the presence of an ear cease indicates heart disease risk. Indeed, his father died of a heart attack at age 64. His mother, however, died at the ripe old age of 94. Because he has the longevity gene from his mother’s side, he can still have a long life if he can successfully control his heart problem (atrial fibrillation).

SUMMARY |
So you can see that having large fleshy ears is not enough to have a long life, just like in the example above (Figure 3). We have already discussed the major health issues that can contribute to early death so they need to be prevented or managed. The risk for conditions like heart disease, neurodegenerative disease or cancer can shorten life span if not managed. There are several supplements that can help address these.
Oxypower, Vein Lite and Wine Extract have potent antioxidant properties that helps correct oxidative damage to blood vessels and improve cardiovascular function. OxyPower also improves mitochondrial dysfunction and protects/repairs DNA damage. The same combination of supplements can also help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
To help combat aging, Reishi Spore Extract is unique in that it adjusts telomerase: reducing it to stop continuous cell replication in cancer or increasing it to promote normal cell division. To better manage cancer, take Reishi Spore Extract with Angiostop and Revivin.
