PRODUCT B
SPECIAL REPORT

ON WHAT I FEEL TO BE THE MOST BENEFICIAL SUPPLEMENT I HAVE
SEEN IN THE LAST FORTY YEARS OF MY MEDICAL PRACTICE.
In my forty years of clinical experience, working with a variety of
products, nutraceuticals , supplements, herbs, and a variety of technologies, I
have never seen or experienced anything like Product B. It appears to be truly
the breakthrough into a new era. Research has been done throughout the world
for centuries to find the secret of youth. Product B represents what may be that
secret to youth. I like to call it Product Brilliant. This addresses the
rebuilding of the foundation of our physical existence. To truly understand what
I am talking about I need to refer to the research that has been done on
telomeres.
Maria A. Blasco, director of the Telomere and Telomerase Research
Group at the Centra Nacional de Investigaciones Oncologicas, in essence says it
bluntly, “Human beings born with shorter telomeres due to telomere mutations
live shorter lives.” This is the condition in the world today because of
external environmental conditions, lifestyles, and diet. Before we get into
that, let’s look at the terms telomere
and telomerase.
Telomeres form, in essence, the tip of the chromosome. They are like
the plastic end of a shoelace that holds the fibers of the shoelace together.
Telomeres are essential for protecting the chromosomes from degrading during
their replication process known as fusion and recombination. Telomeres are 7-10
Kb in length and are made of repeated DNA sequences which are comprised of
thousands of replications of a particular nucleotide ( building blocks of the
DNA) sequence called TTAGGG ( each letter stands for a particular nucleotide)
that are unique in the genome. They serve as a foundation point for a group of
proteins called sheltrins whose role is to protect the telomere. The telomeric
DNA gene sequences are shortened with each cell division. That means that with
age, as our cells continue to divide, with each division the telomeres continue
to shorten. As the telomeres shorten, the sheltrins are unable to attach to the
chromosome to protect them. As this degeneration happens the organism ages.
That is really the key to understanding a little bit of what goes on. It
appears that when the telomere base sequence become less than 5000 the gene
expression is severely compromised and we have accelerated cell aging and cell
death. Shortened telomeres, when they reach a certain length, disorganize the
DNA structure and function. The shortened telomeres create chromosome breakage
and then chromosome rearrangement, and ultimately this essentially leads to
enhanced cell death and/or the potential of cancer with aging. The longer the
telomere is, the more effective is gene expression. When telomeres shorten gene
expression becomes compromised. When shortened telomeres are lengthened,
gene expression is immediately improved and health returns. In other words,
when you lengthened the shortened telomeres you activate diminished gene
function in the continuum back to optimal.
Telomerase is an enzyme that lengthens telomeres. Specifically,
research has shown that the expression of the telomerase gene in aging cells
which have shortened telomeres have been shown to produce an increase in
telomere length and also gene function associated with younger cells. The
induction of telomerase activity seems to have the effect of re-adding
telomeric sequences (TTAGGG) back to the telomeres, which not only increases the
telomere length but also increases the cell ability to replicate. The cells
with previous shortened telomeres, called senescent cells (cells no longer
dividing and growing), gain the ability to again proliferate, and no longer
function as dead and dying cells, and participate as part of repaired tissue.
Product B has been shown to lengthen the telomeres. It is theorized that it activates what we call promoters, which
activate the transcription action. This increases the production of
telomerase and RNA. This has not been proven yet, but is part of a general
theoretical understanding of the situation. It has been proven, however, that
in vitro (meaning cells in a petri dish), Product B activates telomerase in less
than 24 hours. There are some preliminary suggestions that this may also be
true in vivo. At the end of this discussion, aging is associated with
shortened telomeres, and youthing is associated with increasing the telomere
length.
The lifestyle I promote, (including eating a low-glycemic, 80-100%
live-food, plant-source diet; meditation; time in nature; being in loving
relationships; and living productively and fastidiously), slows telomere
shortening. These lifestyle practices do not, however, reverse telomere
shortening, but by slowing the shortening we are able to prolong longer
qualities of extraordinary, enduring, radiant health.
Product B works on a different principle. It appears to reverse
telomere shortening. This is the breakthrough. It is in this way it is the
fountain of youth in a capsule.
In the research I’ve seen, Product B has been shown to specifically increase
the length of the shortened telomeres, which can happen quickly. In vitro, this
may happen in less than 24 hours. Remarkably, within a few weeks, or even a day
or two people seem to have dramatically positive rejuvenative responses to
Product B. It doesn’t increase the overall average length of the telomeres in
one year. Instead it increases the average length of the shorter telomeres, which
are most needed to bring the cells back into healthy function. It is only
when a telomere is short that it moves into dysfunctional gene expression and
therefore aging. It appears from the dramatic anecdotal stories at this
point that this is happening quickly.
According to Maria Blasco, PhD. humans today are being born with
shorter telomeres due to mutations in the telomerase. Therefore, they live
shorter lives. This often occurs due to the premature loss of what we
clinically refer to as tissue regenerative capacity. What we are seeing is that
telomere length is a predictor of the rate of mortality. The longer your
telomeres at birth, the longer you are likely to live depending upon your
lifestyle. The shorter your telomeres are when you are born, the shorter you
are likely to live, depending on your lifestyle. Some research has shown that
with the emotional and mental stress of the mother there actually is a
shortening of telomeres in the fetus. Also stress, sleep deprivation,
depression, and anxiety all generally tend to shorten telomeres. When we
reverse this we are seeing research showing that even the average 10-year old
today has telomeres short enough to take 10 years off their life, as compared
to earlier generations. Anecdotal stories suggest that even 8-year old children
given Product B all function with improved, particularly cognitive, function. Until
I heard this I thought this should only happen in older people. It is sad to
think that our youth today are suffering
from a shortage of telomeres. In my Conscious Eating teaching and in general, I
teach that a consistent degenerative lifestyle and diet will lead to
progressive degeneration in each subsequent generation. This is consistent with
the findings.
There is also some illuminating cancer research by Peter Willet, MD,
Johann Willet, MD, et. al, and published in JAMA in 2010, on telomeres, which
came to the conclusion that telomeres are essential to preserve the integrity
of the genome and critically shortened telomeres lead to replicative cell senescence
and chromosomal instability and could therefore lead to cancer. That was their
theory. Their research was to determine baseline telomere length and incident
cancer mortality. They found a statistically significant inverse
relationship between telomere length and cancer incidence and mortality.
Those with the shortest telomeres were more likely to die from cancer. At critically short telomere lengths, cells
experience replicative cell senescence. Short telomeres and concurrent
chromosomal instability from the short telomeres contributed to malignant cell
transformation. In conclusion studies showed that short telomeres were associated
with enhanced cancer, and the shorter the telomere, the more likely the cancer
would be fatal.
So what do we do with these dramatic associations? According to
Maria Blasco it is possible to modify an organism’s longevity by genetic
alterations. She has seen this in a
range of organisms from C. elegans to
mice. This hasn’t been proven in humans at this point, but we have animal
studies that support this point. Blasco points out that the length of the
telomeres is also associated with the amount of telomerase available in the
cell. In essence she says that the absence of telomerase leads to a progressive
shortening of the telomeres. Critically shortened telomeres mean that stem
cells lose their ability to regenerate tissues, which then leads to
degenerative pathology. Particularly interesting is Blasco’s statement that
in vivo (cells in a culture dish) that adding telomerase immortalizes human
cell types. The clear theoretical conclusion is that turning on telomerase
production in the cells will allow us to decrease cell aging and the pathology
associated with this process. In other words, activating telomerase would
allow us to reduce telomere shortening and thus enhance the capacity of the
tissues to continue to be healthy and delay aging. In vivo experiments,
telomerase immortalizes the majority of human cell types. In experiments using
mice they found that increasing telomerase activity caused mice to live about
40% longer than normal. This supports the trend of information of what I am
talking about. Please keep in mind that Product B has not been proven to
increase telomerase. It has been shown, however, to lengthen shortened
telomeres. All this is nice theoretically.
Human anecdotal stories to support the research findings are helpful
in suggesting trends. However, anecdotal is not the same as experimental proof
and should not be used that way. An anecdotal statement is very different than
a clinical study. Clinical studies have yet to be done to prove the hypothesis
that Product B is creating telomerase and thereby lengthening telomeres. We do
see some dramatic anecdotes that excite me much. I’ve reviewed many of these
anecdotal stories. I now will share some of these to support my present
position on Product B.
A man named Gary M. from Brisbane writes that over 40 years earlier
he had dislocated two fingers playing football and he could not bend them
without pain. Thirty-five years ago he dislocated his knee, and that it clicked
when he walked; it sometimes wouldn’t work right and he would fall down. Five
days after beginning Product B he was able to bend his fingers without pain. At
7 days he began to sleep through the night for the first time in years. (The
better and deeper sleep experience is a very common one.) On day 8 he noticed
an improvement in eyesight, and on day 11 he noticed the clicking in his knee
had stopped.
Many of the stories involved much improved clarity of mind. For
example, from Gold Coast, Australia there was a client that wrote saying that
after 14 days on Product B that she noticed “a remarkable change in my
alertness, clarity of mind, and an overall feeling of wellbeing, and even some
improvement in tinnitus”.
An 81-year old Oklahoma cowboy, who over the years suffered a broken
collarbone, ribs, torn rotator cuff, and knee replacement. As he said “hurting
was his way of life”. At 81 he was still try to compete in the select world
cutting competition. He had a back operation and was trying to ready for this
competition. He had his surgery in May and 3 months later in August (after
taking Product B beginning in August) he reported sleeping through the night,
reduced ankle swelling (he could see his anklebone that he had been unable to
see for years due to his condition), he was able to mount his horse, compete,
and even do well. That is pretty dramatic.
A 79 year old women from N. California with severe Alzheimer’s who
could not even put on her own make-up, communicate verbally with her daughter,
or even watch TV with comprehension was able after 3 weeks on Product B can now
put her own make-up on, communicate with her daughter over Skype, and now even
remember her prayer over meals. This is unquestionably a dramatic and rapid
improvement of Alzheimer’s.
A Hall of Fame boxing broadcaster named Colonel Bob Sheridan, in an
interview, incidentally mentioned that he was given Product B by his wife and
that he felt a complete health transformation. His diabetes disappeared. His
high blood pressure disappeared. His
heart function improved. His joint pain improved. His eyesight improved. His
hair began to thicken. He regained his mental acuity and lost 180 pounds. Incidentally,
it is too soon to say that Product B heals diabetes, but I have seen a variety
of people lower their fasting blood sugar with Product B. I plan to do research
on this topic specifically in the future, and have been in discussion with the co-developers of Product B: Dr. Bill Andrews and John Anderson,
founder of Isagenix (the company that produces Product B), who have both spent
hours with me discussing this topic.
Another person who defines herself as “older” named Katherine S.
noted that she’d worn glasses since age 21. Now her eyesight has improved. She
can read and write text messages and emails on her mobile phone without
glasses. Her arthritic pain vanished. Incidentally there is a dramatic amount
of people with chronic pain, which completely disappears in as little as 24
hours to 3 weeks. She also reported excess weight loss, more energy, her depression
disappeared, as well as her migraines are now gone. She has become more
mentally alert, and her chronic pain, which kept her awake at night, is also
gone.
Bob P. from Tasmania cited more energy and all aches and pains have
vanished.
A 63-year old man having a series of broken bones and joints and
living in chronic pain really became pain free in just 6 days.
There are many more of these impressive anecdotal stories. The
consistency of all this is what impresses me. What I see in the overall
statement are that there are certain really key areas where there is major
improvement. When I sum up the many anecdotal statements, I see:
1) Increased clarity and brain power, cognition and memory, better
mental focus, and increased inner peace
2) Increased endurance, energy, and strength, with some claiming up
to 25% more;
3) Major relief from chronic pain and inflammation and joint pain,
which seems quite dramatic;
4) Skin changes, including the reversal of liver spots on the hands;
5) Hair and nail growth, with some accounts of hair darkening;
6) Reversal of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms;
7) Improved digestion and bowel function (Apparently the lining in
the small and large intestines, which is generally very regenerative is quite
improved with Product B.)
8. Consistent pattern of reduced blood sugars toward normal
9. A consistent improvement in the depth and quality of sleep
One of the most interesting and exciting areas is in the domain of
Alzheimer’s disease. This is particularly important, as our lifestyle and
environment have accelerated the rates of Alzheimer’s even as early as age 35.
They have found that people with Alzheimer’s who have shortened brain cell
telomeres do seem to respond dramatically. These include the astrocyte, swan,
and glial cells. Some anecdotal stories include dramatic reversal of
Alzheimer’s in a few weeks. The animal research supports this too. Researchers
have 100% reversal of Alzheimer’s in dogs. I’m not choosing to give the exact dosages
that have been reported here, but general dose is 2-3 capsules twice daily, and
with Alzheimer’s it is double or triple that dose. From the existing research
and anecdotal information there appears to be no side effects or
contraindications in using product B at this level of dosage or any level.
As I grasp the meaning of this, I am seeing some correlations
between the improvements brought on by Product B and the ancient Chinese
medical quest for ways to strengthen pre-natal jing. In Chinese Medicine we
have the Three Treasures. These are shen (spirit), chi (daily life-force), and
jing (primordial life-force essence), which determines overall reserve
vitality, longevity potential and “DNA Strength”. Jing is regarded as pre-natal
and post-natal. With proper lifestyle and live-food diet, people may repair and
strengthen post-natal jing. I believe that Product B may be able to
consistently build prenatal jing. Up until now, this is unheard of except
in the very rare cases. In Ayurveda, however, we have an ancient process called
kaya kalpa, which has been shown to do this. For unique spiritual individuals
with strong meditative abilities one may undergo certain disciplines that can
stop aging or reverse aging. This is not available to laypeople, but, yes, this
can be accomplished. People have been reported to grow new teeth, new hair, and
regenerate. The life of Tapasviji Maharaj, who lived to be 186 years old into
the 20th Century, was a documentation of this process. It is very difficult
to find people in India who can guide others through this process. It is in
essence inaccessible.
The point is that it can be done. One can rebuild the prenatal
jing. With Product B it may now be available to common people on a mass
level. This sets the stage for an epic transformation in our society. I am
excited about this possibility as a researcher in this area. This possibility
is not yet proven. It took 30 years to prove smoking causes cancer. The real
question is should we wait until all the research is in, or should we take
advantage of something that will improve the quality of our lives with no risks
or toxicity?
Personally,
I am presently taking Product B as part of my self-research and have seen some
nice changes on many of these levels. Quantitatively, in 4 weeks, I have gone
from 10 pull-ups to 24. This is more than I have ever done in my life at any
age. There appears to be no risk or toxicity involved. The components of
Product B are special proprietary extractions from common substances. These
extractions have been shown in vitro to activate and lengthen telomeres. I’m
glad to share this dramatic and exciting material with you. Blessings to your enduring health and spirit,
