In this era of an increasingly enlightened public about
the health benefits of nutritional supplements, there
is a
new area perhaps more overlooked than any other. This
central area of health and nutrition is the ingestion
of
dietary nucleic acid bases ~ the essential building
blocks
of DNA and RNA.
The main reason these highly important nutrients have
been
neglected is that the body is able to manufacture nucleic
acid bases from amino acids and other basic nutrients.
In
general, if the body can make a substance from other
nutrients that substance has not been considered
essential. However, under certain conditions, the body
is
not able to make enough DNA and RNA bases to support
the
needs of the body~s tissues and organs, with a drastic
reduction in the potential for health.
Numerous studies in animals and humans show dramatic
benefits in health, function, and survival with the
supplementation of nucleic acid elements. These effects
are so powerful that survival in life threatening assaults
ranging from radiation to infection to shock has been
markedly increased. From the standpoint of longevity
studies, no single method has increased longevity more
than supplementing DNA and RNA elements.
For the first time ever, the powerful life and longevity
enhancing effects of nucleic acids have been combined
with
the potent CELLFOOD technology from Deutrel/NuScience.
CELLFOOD offers a synergistic enhancement of the desirable
properties of the DNA and RNA bases through improved
absorption, enzyme support, and providing trace elements
vital to the optimum function of metabolic pathways
in the
cells and tissues.
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA is thus one of the most rejuvenating,
immune enhancing, and tissue supporting formulas ever
to
be released. The wide-ranging benefits to be described
are further boosted with a proprietary globally patented
laser technology that significantly increases the
efficiency of nutrient utilization, making for an
unmatched product that cannot be duplicated.

10. Summary and Conclusion
1. Metabolism of DNA and RNA
Five nucleic acid bases make up the information code
of
life. Both DNA and RNA share three of the bases ~adenine,
guanine, and cytosine. In DNA, the fourth base is
thymine, whereas in RNA it is uracil. In DNA, each base
combines with a five carbon sugar called deoxyribose,
hence the term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
In
RNA, each base combines with the five-carbon sugar ribose,
thus RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
The information code in DNA in the cell nucleus is
transcribed to RNA, which is then translated to all
the
enzymes and proteins made in the body. The DNA to RNA
to
protein translation mechanism makes possible the vast
diversity of life on earth.
When DNA and RNA are ingested intact, they are intensely
metabolized by intestinal bacteria and the intestinal
lining. Over 95% of the pyrimidines bases cytosine,
thymine, and uracil are degraded by the intestinal lining
before reaching the blood stream. Only about 3% of the
pyrimidines make it to the liver for further use in
the
body. The fate of the purine bases adenine and guanine
is
even more extreme. Over 99% of the purines are broken
down to uric acid before being absorbed into the
bloodstream. Therefore only a tiny fraction of ingested
DNA or RNA becomes available for the numerous functions
required of them throughout all the cells of the body.
In addition to ingested DNA and RNA elements, the body
can
make DNA and RNA bases from simpler nutrients in the
diet. In particular, the amino acids glycine, glutamine,
serine, and aspartic acid, along with vitamin cofactors
are used to make DNA and RNA bases from scratch.
In order to make nucleic acids from simpler substances
requires having all of the precursors and cofactors
in
adequate amounts at the time of production. In addition,
it requires having sufficient amounts of numerous enzymes
in the correct proportions and locations in the cell.
Recent evidence indicates that the body is often not
able
to make enough DNA and RNA to protect, repair, and
regenerate cells to their optimum function. This is
especially true for cells that have high turnover rates
such as the intestinal lining that may fully replace
itself every week. The demand for production may
particularly exceed synthetic capacity under conditions
of
stress in which the demand for greater cell activity
and
function becomes acute, particularly for the dynamic
populations of cells in the immune system.
When demand exceeds production capacity, DNA and RNA
base
components become essential nutrients for protecting
and
preserving health. Numerous lines of evidence will be
presented to show the far reaching health benefits of
supplementing DNA and RNA during health stresses and
even
for general well being and longevity.
2. Advantages of Oral Spray Delivery System
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA is provided as a highly convenient
and
biologically active oral spray formula. Providing the
nucleic acid base components in this form can increase
their absorption into the bloodstream highly
significantly. Instead of only 1-3% delivery to the
blood
stream for systemic use, the oral spray may effectively
deliver 90% or more of the nucleic acids ingested to
cells
and tissues throughout the body.
It is very important to make the distinction between
chains of DNA and the individual bases of DNA. Intact
DNA
strands are long chains of individual bases strung
together into a double helix that may have over 10 million
bases linked together into a single enormous molecule.
Intact DNA strands provide a linear code for the
production of proteins and enzymes. Therefore intact
strands of DNA bases are information containing and
have a
small but real potential for influencing DNA information
in the cell nucleus. Long chains of DNA require extensive
digestion to extract individual bases, resulting in
poor
absorption and only a small fraction of the bases being
available for the body to use.
In contrast, the individual bases of DNA do not give
sequence information. They are simply building blocks,
much as the letters of the alphabet are the building
blocks for words. Their small molecular size makes them
highly and rapidly absorbable, greatly increasing their
ability to be assimilated and used in cells and tissues
throughout the entire body. They are nutritional and
not
informational. They are very safe and help the body
repair and rebuild the DNA and RNA needed for health
and
cell regeneration. CELLFOOD DNA/RNA only contains the
individual bases of DNA and RNA for safety and a high
potency of absorption and utilization.
3. Research Studies with Supplemental DNA and RNA
Numerous published scientific studies indicate very
significant health benefits from DNA and RNA component
supplementation. Almost every system of the body has
documentation of improved health, vitality, or function
from providing supplements of these fundamentally
important cellular elements, from infancy to advanced
age. The following is a brief summary from the vast
literature supporting the many published benefits of
the
components of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA.
3A. Infections
Staph aureus is one of the most aggressive bacterial
infections faced in medical treatment. It tends to cause
deep-seated abscess forming infections, often associated
with extensive tissue destruction, high fever, and
resistance to treatment. Surgical drainage is often
required to clear pockets of infection. Without surgery,
antibiotics alone are often ineffective at eradicating
this invasive pathogen. Epidemics of Staph aureus
resistant to all antibiotics have become a devastating
problem in hospitals and treatment centers around the
world.
A study in mice was performed to assess the ability
of
supplemental nucleic acid components to modify the course
of virulent Staph aureus infection. The control animals
that received no additional RNA or DNA elements showed
a
raging 71% mortality. In contrast, the animals that
were
supplemented with nucleic acid bases by injection showed
vastly reduced mortality to 21%.
Candida is a form of yeast that frequently causes
infections in humans. If Candida gets into the human
bloodstream and persists, medical complications and
mortality tend to be very significant. In experimental
blood borne Candida infections in mice, the nucleic
acid
supplemented animals had a much higher survival rate
than
the untreated control animals.
These experiments suggest that supplemental DNA and
RNA
bases given in a form with absorption comparable to
injection may strengthen the body to combat serious
infections. This is likely to occur through improved
immune function, although factors related to generally
strengthening the vitality of tissues may also be a
factor.
The very high absorbability of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA by oral
spray is designed to support the immune system and general
tissue vitality with a high degree of potency. Such
supplemental support can help provide an added measure
of
resilience to sustain health or recover from infection.
3B. Cancer
A study in mice assessed whether RNA supplementation
improved survival from an aggressive cancer. The animals
received a tumor vaccine and then transplants of a tumor
cell line. The animals that only received the tumor
vaccine all died within three weeks. In sharp contrast,
the animals that received a single 2mg injection of
RNA
after the tumor vaccine had a 40% long-term survival.
Thus the support of an antitumor program with only a
tiny
single dose of RNA provided a dramatic improvement in
survival and outcome.
3C. Radiation Injury
Ionizing radiation causes intense free radical generation
and molecular fragmentation; the greater the intensity
and
dose, the greater the harm that occurs to all exposed
tissues. The greatest harm tends to occur to cells that
are dividing the most rapidly. Radiation is often used
for cancer treatment because the tumor cells are more
sensitive to radiation than the more slowly dividing
normal cells; however, all the cells in the beam path
sustain dose related injury.
In a study in mice to determine the protective effects
of
nucleic acid supplementation, all the animals were exposed
to a very high dose of radiation. The survival rate
in
the control animals was extremely low at 5%. In contrast,
the animals that received nucleic acid injections had
vastly improved survival ~ ten times higher at 50%.
This suggests a generally strongly protective effect
of
nucleic acid supplements for all forms of ionizing
radiation exposure, whether therapeutic or accidental.
Even persons who use airline travel regularly may benefit
from protecting their cells from the relatively higher
exposure that tends to occur at altitude.
3D. Tissue Regeneration
In order to sustain health, virtually every tissue in
the
body must regenerate itself regularly. It is now known
for example that even neurons in the brain have the
capacity to regenerate. Having adequate supplies of
all
the nucleic acid bases may be one of the most significant
limiting factors on whether a tissue will be able to
express its greatest capacity for regeneration and self
repair.
A study in rats looked at the ability of the liver to
regenerate depending on whether or not injections of
nucleic acid bases were given. In this study, the rats
had 70% of their livers surgically removed. The animals
that received IV nucleic acids showed liver regeneration
rates that were significantly greater than the untreated
control animals.
Any tissue, in order to regenerate, requires the ability
to make DNA and RNA to support the process of making
new
cells. Providing readily absorbed and assimilated DNA
and
RNA bases can be one of the most powerful ways to assist
any tissue to repair and renew itself.
3E. Wound Healing
A wound, surgical or otherwise, results in severing
the
usual integrity of tissue organization. It is a special
case of tissue regeneration in which cells migrate into
the area of the wound to either regenerate new tissue
or
to fill the defect with scar tissue. The type of healing
depends on the tissue ~ the liver will tend to restore
normal liver cells in the wound, whereas the skin will
tend to fill the breach with scar to heal the opening
and
restore strength.
Several studies in wound healing have assessed the effects
of supplemental nucleic acids on wound healing, especially
of surgical wounds. Compared to the control group, those
receiving the supplements showed more rapid healing,
greater tensile strength of the skin, and significantly
reduced scarring.
3F. Endocrine Gland Repair
Some of the tiniest organs in the body have the most
profound effects on our health and well being. These
are
the endocrine glands that secrete minute amounts of
hormones into the blood without which every function
of
the body can suffer.
The tissues that are most susceptible to reduced function
from nucleotide deficiency have been found to extract
high
proportions of nucleic acids from blood. These studies
have examined the relative amounts of nucleic acid bases
a
tissue will incorporate if the nucleic acids are given
through the GI tract versus being given intravenously.
The incorporation level of the administered nucleic
acid
bases is measured by giving nucleic acids that have
been
labeled with a radioactive marker. The amount of
radioactivity measured in a tissue when it is given
through GI absorption versus IV delivery then gives
the
assimilation ratio of the two routes of administration.
Highly metabolically active tissues that are the most
sensitive to stress-induced nucleic acid deficiency
are
those that have the highest IV: GI assimilation ratios.
In animal studies, the highest IV: GI assimilation ratios
were found in the vitally important pituitary, thymus,
thymus, salivary, and adrenal glands. The measured ratios
ranged from 29-59:1 for IV delivery versus GI absorption.
Other dynamic tissues that showed similarly high ratios
were the intestinal lining and the lymphoid tissue of
the
immune system.
The pituitary gland located at the base of the skull
has
been called the ~master gland~ because it makes hormones
that control the functions of other endocrine glands.
It
secretes hormones that regulate the thyroid and adrenal
glands, the ovaries and testes, and the production of
breast milk. The posterior region of the gland exerts
control over the kidneys to adjust fluid balances
throughout the body. Perhaps most important for
longevity, the pituitary also makes growth hormone,
that
has been shown to have some of the most powerful age-
reversing effects of any hormone ever studied. Inadequate
nutritional support to this gland can have devastating
and
far-reaching effects throughout the body.
The adrenal glands, situated atop the kidneys, secrete
adrenaline and noradrenaline, the fight or flight
hormones. These powerful hormones increase heart rate
and
blood flow to muscle so that the body is immediately
prepared for vigorous physical activity. In our ancestral
past, this rapid preparation was a key to surviving
in a
hostile environment. However, modern living often puts
a
chronic stress on the adrenal glands, the myriad stimuli
that surround us tending to keep the fight or flight
mechanism constantly activated. The result is often
varying degrees of adrenal burnout, exhausting the
reserves of the gland to make the fight or flight hormones
when really needed. Burned out adrenals give rise to
a
chronic low energy state, fatigue, and poor stress
tolerance, like depleted batteries that fail to get
recharged. These glands are especially prone to
nucleotide deficiency under chronic stress, a condition
that CELLFOOD DNA/RNA can help to restore, much as giving
a long needed recharge to a nearly totally drained battery.
The thymus gland, residing behind the breastbone, is
often
considered the organ of rejuvenation and longevity.
It is
the gland in which the T cells of the immune system
are
formed and given identity. Upon release it is the T
cells
in particular that help find and destroy cancer cells
and
cells that have become afflicted with viruses. The thymus
gland tends to shrink with time, yet specific
supplementation has been found to bring this vital organ
back to more youthful function. In particular, providing
nucleic acid bases for this gland with very dynamic
cell
turnover can significantly rejuvenate this gland and
its
life preserving activities.
The thyroid gland, at the base of the neck in front
of the
windpipe, produces thyroid hormones, the main control
mechanism for setting basal metabolic rate. In some
circles it is believed that we are in the midst of an
epidemic of undetected deficiency of thyroid function.
Tests of thyroid function may not show overt clinical
disease, but low-level deficiency can significantly
reduce
quality of life. Effects are subtle and can include
generally low energy, sluggish bowel function, lack
of
initiative, tendency to depressed mood, and weight gain
with great difficulty losing the added pounds. Dietary
iodine and the amino acid tyrosine are important building
blocks to make thyroid hormone naturally from the gland.
In addition, correcting insufficient nucleic acid
production under stress will also support recovery of
a
sluggish gland.
The salivary glands reside in several pockets in the
mouth. Although not as essential as the other glands
to
sustain life, they provide a vital role in the first
stages of preparing food for complete digestion. These
metabolically active glands also require a rich supply
of
nucleic acids to maintain adequate salivary flow.
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA can thus be a very powerful tonic to
sustain and boost the functions of the most vital glands
in the body. These glands set our level of energy, our
ability to respond to stress, our capacity to maintain
strong immune defenses, the hydration of our bodies,
and a
wide range of hormone balances essential to a high quality
of life.
3G. Intestinal Integrity, Maturation, and Bowel Flora
The intestinal lining replaces all of its cells every
seven days. Only a single layer thick, this lining is
highly dependent on a sufficient supply of nucleic acids
to completely regenerate itself every week. If
nutritional support is inadequate, defective regeneration
of the intestinal mucosal lining impairs the enzymatic
stages of digestion, which can lead to a vicious cycle
of
deteriorating digestion and nutritional status.
In a study in young rats with chronic diarrhea, the
effects of nucleic acid supplementation was tested.
In
the untreated animals the intestinal villi, finger-like
absorptive projections, showed a dramatic reduction
in
height, like a forest that had been chopped down to
stumps. The intestinal lining cells showed a drastic
reduction of digestive enzymes, the essential final
step
of digestion that breaks nutrients down to the building
block levels that the body can use. These animals were
clearly failing to thrive. Upon administration of
supplemental nucleic acids, the appearance of the
intestinal lining greatly improved, with regeneration
of
the height of the absorptive intestinal villi. In
addition, the enzyme content and function of the
intestinal lining also greatly improved, permitting
the
animals to recover and thrive robustly.
Human infants also require dietary nucleotides for optimum
health, development, and well-being. Human breast milk
has a significantly higher content of certain nucleic
acid
bases than does cows milk. Infants fed formula milk
instead of breast milk have been found to have
pathological intestinal bacteria that greatly increases
their risk of outbreaks of diarrhea; especially in
developing countries, such outbreaks can be life
threatening.
Studies have shown that if formula milk is supplemented
with a nucleic acid profile similar to that in breast
milk, infants thus fed have a much healthier profile
of
intestinal bacteria, typical of infants that have actually
been breast fed. In the nucleic acid supplemented
infants, the incidence and severity of diarrhea is reduced
significantly to the level seen in breast fed infants.
One of the most vital components of breast milk that
confers its health and developmental advantages over
formula milk thus appears to be its higher content of
nucleic acids, making a strong case for such supplementing
of all formula milk.
3H. HDL Cholesterol Levels
An additional finding in infants who received nucleic
acid
supplementation was an improvement in their blood lipid
profiles. In particular, the infants receiving added
nucleic acids were found to have higher HDL cholesterol
levels, the cholesterol fraction that protects against
cardiovascular disease the higher the level. It is
possible that establishing higher HDL levels early in
life
may confer an ongoing tendency to cardiac protection.
3I. Growth and Development
Studies in young laboratory animals have assessed the
effects of supplementing DNA and RNA elements. Compared
to control animals, the supplemented animals grew,
developed, and increased muscle mass at a greater rate.
Other vital proteins were also built more readily in
the
treated animals. The intestinal lining in particular
matured more robustly in the supplemented animals.
Research thus far indicates that the tremendous need
for
nucleic acids in growth and development is strongly
beneficially supported through supplementing these vital
nutritional elements.
3J. Cellular Immunity
Cellular immunity refers in particular to immune cells
that have the role of identifying cells in the body
that
have become abnormal, so that the abnormal cells can
be
removed. The main cellular changes sought through the
cellular immune system are the development of cancer
cells
or various types of intracellular infection. The goal
of
the cellular immune system is to eliminate cancer cells
or
infected cells before they can become established in
the
body to cause serious illness.
The main effectors of cellular immunity are cells that
arise in the thymus gland. These cells are often called
T
cells for their thymic derivation, of which there are
several types with varying functions. A special type
of T
cell called a cytotoxic T cell has the role of finding
and
sticking to abnormal cells, then releasing substances
that
selectively digest and clear the renegade cells.
Whereas cytotoxic T cells are generally active in seeking
and clearing a wide range of abnormal cells, natural
killer cells have a more targeted mission: seeking and
destroying any cell that has become a cancer cell. The
integrity of cellular immune function, most especially
natural killer cell function, is the first line of defense
of preventing tumor cells from establishing a stronghold
in the body. Many studies have correlated reductions
of
cellular immune and natural killer cell function with
increasing risks of developing cancer; some scientists
feel that cancer is primarily a problem of inadequate
cellular immunity.
Cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, and other types
of T cells are also known as lymphocytes. These cells
are
a major component of the body~s lymphoid tissues that
protect us from infections and cancers of many types.
In
addition to the T cells of several types there are also
B
cell lymphocytes whose role is the production of
antibodies. Unlike T cells that act directly cell-to-
cell, antibodies are released into the bloodstream to
hunt
down specific infectious, toxic, or tumor cell molecules.
Lymphoid tissues that coordinate the functions of the
immune system include the spleen, tonsils, lymph nodes,
Peyer~s patches widespread throughout the intestines,
regions of the bone marrow, and most importantly the
thymus gland.
The lymphoid tissue and especially cellular immunity
has
been found to be highly vulnerable to nucleic acid
depletion under conditions of stress. In other words,
at
the time of greatest need for protection, inadequate
supplies of DNA and RNA bases can weaken the ability
of
the body to respond to the threat. An insult or tumor
or
infection the body might otherwise easily handle can
escape control if the lymphoid does not have adequate
nutrition to respond.
Numerous studies in animals and humans have shown that
supplementing nucleic acid elements has profoundly
beneficial effects on boosting the function of lymphoid
tissue. In part, the reason for this is that lymphoid
tissue is highly dynamic such that cells that have become
sensitized to microbial invaders or cancer cells need
to
divide rapidly to make an army of specifically targeted
cells to eliminate the invader. A rich supply of nucleic
acids, often beyond that the body can readily make,
may be
required for all the activities required for expanding
the
cells that prevent a minor invasion from becoming an
overwhelming infection or uncontrolled malignancy.
Published studies have particularly demonstrated that
cellular immunity is significantly strengthened with
nucleic acid supplementation. Research that has examined
natural killer cell function has shown especially dramatic
effects on increasing the activity and function of these
tumor surveillance and elimination cells. Improved health
of body tissues in general and enhanced cellular immunity
in particular, likely accounts for the vastly improved
outcomes observed in the face of a wide range of minor
to
life threatening insults.
3K. Memory Enhancement
It is not generally well recognized that forming long-term
memories requires significant quantities of nucleic
acids. Especially the availability of an adequate pool
of
RNA is needed to manufacture new proteins that are
essential to memory function. Although other support
nutrients are an important factor, optimum memory function
is not possible without a rich supply of nucleic acids.
Many studies in animals and humans have found a dramatic
improvement in memory function with nucleic acid
supplementation. Whether it is the ability to remember
the right pathway to get through a maze for a prize
of
cheese, or to remember facts and figures, giving
supplements of DNA and RNA elements has highly
significantly increased performance.
Perhaps most dramatically, one researcher has focused
on
giving nucleic acids to persons with dementia. Even
with
advanced cases, if he went to high enough delivery levels
to his patients, in almost every case memory improvement
was very significant. The doctor reported that even
in
advanced cases of dementia dramatic memory recovery
occurred if high enough levels of nucleic acids were
given.
3L. Longevity
It is perhaps functional nucleic acid deficiency that
limits our potential for healthy longevity more than
any
other single factor. Of all the interventions that have
ever been attempted to increase the life span of mammals,
no method ever studied has been more powerful for
mammalian life extension than nucleic acid
supplementation. Compared to other techniques that have
increased longevity of experimental animals up to 50%,
administering nucleic acids has doubled and even tripled
the usual maximum life span.
In a landmark study, a strain of rats was used that
had a
usual life span of 800-900 days. The study began with
all
of the animals at day 750, rather advanced in age at
the
entry of the test protocol. Half of the animals were
used
as controls and received their standard diet, housing,
and
care. The treatment group animals were given identical
conditions with the exception of receiving weekly
injections of DNA and RNA.
After eight weeks the control rats looked much worse
than
at the start of the study, losing fur and muscle mass,
and
showing reduced physical activity. In sharp contrast,
at
this time in the study, the treated animals actually
looked and behaved like younger animals. They regrew
fur
and increased their muscle mass, had renewed libido,
and
were significantly more active.
By day 150 of the study, all of the untreated control
animals had died. In dramatic contrast, the minimum
additional life span in the treated animals was 850
days,
minimally doubling the usual life span of the animals.
Perhaps most noteworthy, the longest lived animal in
the
treatment group survived 1500 days from the start of
the
study.
This is the greatest life extension ever reported for
a
mammal; nearly triple the usual maximum life span. It
is
especially remarkable because the animals were of advanced
age at the start of the study. Weekly injections of
DNA
effectively increased the remaining life spans of the
animals by 500-900%.
It is as yet unknown whether even greater degrees of
life
extension could be achieved by beginning nucleic acid
supplementation at an even earlier age, before any organ
deterioration had occurred. It is likely that the
longevity achieved would be at least as great or greater.
It is important to note that the doubling and tripling
of
the animal~s life span resulted from an ongoing program
of
nucleic acid delivery. This suggests that optimum
longevity effects from DNA and RNA component
supplementation requires continuous delivery of nucleic
acid bases; this assures that the major glands and tissues
of the body always have the elements needed for peak
rejuvenation and repair.
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA provides the most concentrated,
efficient, and cost effective delivery of nucleic acids
ever developed. For cell rejuvenation, enhanced immunity,
and numerous tissue benefits, the oral spray of this
formula provides readily absorbed pure individual nucleic
acid bases. The magnitude of this delivery is indicated
by the quantity of DNA nucleic acid base elements given
in
a single one-month supply of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA ~ nearly
double the amount of all the nuclear DNA in all the
cells
of the body.
4. Synergistic Effects of CELLFOOD
The powerful tissue effects of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA are
further amplified by the extraordinary properties of
its
CELLFOOD base. Produced by Nu Science Corporation, this
breakthrough formula has been studied and winning awards
for over forty years, with thousands of glowing
testimonials received from around the globe.
CELLFOOD has been shown to increase the absorption of
nutrients very significantly. In the vital first 30
seconds after the initial spraying of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA,
this accelerated absorption assists with rapid bloodstream
entry of nucleic acids to receive maximum biological
benefits from these powerful nutrients. Many persons
have
described increased physical energy and mental clarity
within a few minutes of using CELLFOOD DNA/RNA.
The proprietary dibase-dipole technology in CELLFOOD
creates an optimal environment to favor the absorption
and
utilization of the over 70 trace elements in CELLFOOD.
Highly bioavailable and bioactive trace elements are
essential to support the numerous enzyme systems in
the
body that require trace element micronutrients to
function. Trace element delivery to support the full
range of metabolic enzyme activities in the body may
well
improve the results of nucleic acid supplementation
beyond
those achieved in previous studies of the effects of
nucleic acids alone.
CELLFOOD increases tissue oxygenation, increasing the
potential for energy generation in every cell. The
greater energy potential of cells supports the ability
to
fully use nucleic acids of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA to repair
and
turn back the aging clock of cells.
The extraordinary action of CELLFOOD to generate nascent
hydrogen is one of the most potent antioxidant mechanisms
that can be delivered to tissues. The tiny size of
nascent hydrogen atoms allows them to freely and rapidly
diffuse through cells and tissues, protecting DNA,
enzymes, and cell membranes throughout the body. The
new
DNA, RNA, and proteins thus generated by CELLFOOD DNA/RNA
will receive high-level antioxidant protection to preserve
the rejuvenative benefits of nucleic acid supplementation.
The 34 enzymes supplied in CELLFOOD help fill in metabolic
gaps to get optimum utilization of nucleic acids and
other
nutrients. Through improved general digestion, the basic
precursors the cells need for energy metabolism and
building blocks for complex molecules can be delivered
in
abundance.
The amino acids in CELLFOOD provide some of the most
basic
nutrient needs in the body to build enzymes and proteins
from scratch. Combining amino acids with nucleic acids
and trace elements powerfully fuels the cellular engines
with the complete spectrum of basic and essential elements
for high performance cells.
CELLFOOD alone has been found in animal studies to
strengthen the lymphoid immune system. Providing nucleic
acids in addition to CELLFOOD is highly likely to further
augment this highly desirable response. CELLFOOD DNA/RNA
overcomes limitations of immune recovery due to stress
induced cellular nucleic acid deficiency.
The addition of nucleic acids to CELLFOOD is thus a
potent
life enhancing combination that helps cells in almost
any
condition achieve a higher level of function.
5. Laser Enhancement Technology
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA adds yet another revolutionary technology
to make it a product of unmatched potency ~ a laser
process for nutrient enhancement that has been patented
worldwide. This technology has been developed over the
last eight years by the research team of Dr. Todd
Ovokaitys, a Johns Hopkins and Georgetown University
trained medical doctor, internist, and pulmonary and
intensive care specialist.
As a byproduct of research into the development of novel
laser technologies for treating major diseases, a new
form
of laser energy was created. This new form of laser
energy is so powerful it can be used to reshape molecules
into a form that the body can use more efficiently,
thus
delivering greater bioavailability.
In essence, a typically manufactured nutritional
supplement is subjected to chemical extraction,
purification, and drying steps. All of these processes
can cause numerous random distortions of nutrient shape.
Enzymes of the body are highly shape sensitive for the
molecules they will accept or reject. When the body
receives a nutrient in a wide range of random shapes,
some
will fit and many others will not. The nutrients that
don~t fit will either be excreted or broken down to
relatively useless compounds.
The breakthrough embodied in the laser reshaping
technology is the ability to produce ultrashort pulses
in
resonance with the natural frequency of the nutrients.
The natural frequency of any structure is the frequency
it
will naturally tend to vibrate at when stimulated. If
impulses are provided at the natural frequency even
tiny
amounts of energy given in each cycle build up to very
large amounts of energy in the structure.
The basic analogy is kicking your legs to propel a swing.
If you kick your legs at just the right time in the
swing,
the swing will go higher and higher. If you kick your
legs randomly the swing will jiggle around at its lowest
point, gathering no momentum. Normal laser action is
like
kicking your legs continuously. The impulses are out
of
phase with the natural frequency and the swing is not
moved other than random small movements. In contrast,
the
laser impulses generated through Dr. Ovokaitys~ technology
provides impulses at the right phase of the molecular
vibration to build the energy in the molecule, to up
to
several times the baseline energy in the molecule.
The net effect of resonant laser stimulation is to create
small flat stretched molecules that most importantly
are
consistent in shape from molecule to molecule.
Homogenizing the shape of the molecules greatly reduces
the enzyme energy needed to bind the next molecule,
which
can greatly increase the efficiency of nutrient
utilization. This allows the cells to make much more
of
the desired products from the same quantity of ingested
nutrients.
Using this laser molecular resonance technology, crystals
of important nutrients have been made that show the
predicted effects. Crystals prepared without the laser
show numerous defects in crystal formation, indicating
the
diversity of shapes. In contrast, laser treated crystals
are perfectly formed and free of defects, attesting
to
consistency of form.
Using X-ray crystallography, the predicted effects of
flattening and stretching molecular bonds has been
observed. X-ray crystallography is the scientific gold
standard for determining the explicit three-dimensional
shape of molecules and can place the location of each
atom
in the molecule to tiny fractions of Angstroms (1 Angstrom
= one ten billionth of a meter). X-ray crystallography
has also shown tremendous homogenization of molecular
shape in an important nutrient known to have a wide
variety of shapes after the usual manufacturing processes.
At the level of the test tube, cells fed equal amounts
of
ordinary versus laser treated nutrients have been tested.
Milligram for milligram, cells fed the laser treated
nutrients have produced statistically significantly
more
of the biologically desirable internal products.
Several amino acid effects in particular have been shown
to be enhanced in vitro or clinically through laser
treatment. Laser treatment of nutrients can thus work
synergistically with the numerous CELLFOOD effects to
create the most potently absorbed and utilized nutrition
ever offered.
The laser technology used to enhance CELLFOOD DNA/RNA
is
the most powerful method of reshaping and homogenizing
nutrients for absorption and assimilation ever developed.
The combination of CELLFOOD and laser technologies is
an
unequaled combination for boosting amino acid and nucleic
acid metabolism.
For it is not the nutrients you ingest that improve
your
condition, it is only the nutrients that you assimilate
and use that can transform your health and save your
life.
6. DNA/RNA Precursor Support
In addition to the pure individual bases of DNA and
RNA,
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA contains the amino acids the body uses
to
make nucleic acids from scratch. Providing these amino
acids ~ glutamine, serine, glycine, and aspartic acid
~
further boosts the capacity of cellular metabolism to
maintain its nucleic acid pools at optimum levels for
cell
rejuvenation and repair.
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA also contains the amino acids proline
and
lysine. Recent scientific research has shown that these
amino acids can prevent the growth of tumors in the
body.
All of these amino acids have been laser treated to
enhance their biologic activity. CELLFOOD DNA/RNA thus
supports nucleic acid chemistry and immune function
by
providing nutrient factors from without and supporting
internal production of essential components from within
the cells.
7. Longevity Enhancing Cofactors
To make CELLFOOD DNA/RNA an ultimate anti-aging formula,
it also provides clinically tested nutrients that can
reverse the aging clock at the DNA level. These nutrients
have also been shown to protect and repair DNA and prevent
DNA mutations, thus reducing the risk of cancer and
preserving cells at a more youthful level.
Perhaps the primary mechanism of aging in the cells
is the
loss of DNA markers called methyl groups (a simple group
with one carbon and three hydrogen atoms, known as CH3).
At birth, DNA in the cell nucleus has a significant
fraction of its cytosine residues tagged with methyl
groups. Depending on the cell type, the level of cytosine
methylation ranges from 2-6%.
Aging is regulated and programmed by the gradual loss
of
methyl groups from nuclear DNA. When 40% of the methyl
groups are lost, degenerative death typically occurs.
All of the factors known to cause aging accelerate the
loss of methyl groups from DNA. For example, smoking,
poor nutrition, poor vitamin intake, low exercise,
environmental toxin absorption, and radiation exposure
all
accelerate methyl group loss.
Any intervention that slows, stops, and reverses the
loss
of methyl groups from DNA is slowing, stopping, and
even
reversing aging at the DNA level. CELLFOOD DNA/RNA
provides the most powerful laser enhanced nutrient factors
for improving DNA methylation ever studied.
The most sensitive blood chemistry test for determining
the rate of methyl group loss from DNA is called
homocysteine. The higher the homocysteine level above
4-
6, the greater the rate of methyl group loss from DNA.
The teenage level of homocysteine is 4-6, which tends
to
rise 1-2 points per decade, such that at 60-70, the
level
is typically 12-15 or higher. Elevated homocysteine
has
in parallel with aging effects also been found to be
a
cardiac risk factor. Above a level of 6.3, cardiac risk
rises exponentially, with a level of 15 carrying a risk
four times, and a level of 20 carrying a risk that is
nine
times greater for a major cardiovascular incident than
that of the general population.
In a major double blind randomized placebo controlled
clinical study the effects of laser-enhanced nutrients
on
homocysteine reduction and other important metabolic
factors and clinical symptoms. This study was reviewed
and approved by the Western Institutional Review Board
as
meeting the international standards for the design and
safety of human clinical research.
Perhaps the single most powerful homocysteine-lowering
nutrient is trimethylglycine, or TMG. This molecule
has
three methyl groups to donate, hence the prefix
trimethyl. It is also known as betaine because it is
a
natural substance derived from sugar beets.
Previous research has shown that high dose betaine can
reduce the risk of mortality the first year after a
heart
attack from 25% to 0%. In addition, high dose betaine
in
conjunction with vitamin cofactors has been the only
intervention that has permitted women with a genetic
disease of high homocysteine levels (homocystinuria)
to
conceive and have normal gestations and deliveries.
In
other persons with homocystinuria, adding betaine has
reversed neurologic defects and caused gray hair to
darken
and lost hair to regrow.
Laser treatment of a betaine compound has shown dramatic
molecular effects that favor greater biological activity.
Crystals grown using Dr. Ovokaitys~ system show a very
high level of homogeneity compared to the irregularities
and numerous defects seen in control crystals grown
without the laser. Homogeneity reduces the energy
required by enzymes to make the desired products.
X-ray crystallography, the gold standard for determining
explicit molecular shape since 1915, also showed striking
findings. The laser treated betaine compound had a
uniform flattened and stretched shape not matched by
the
control untreated molecules. The flat stretched shape
has
higher electric and magnetic field moments that also
promote more efficient enzymatic action.
The study formula for boosting methyl group transfers
and
reducing homocysteine contained laser treated betaine
as
the main component. In addition laser treated vitamin
cofactors that are known to support these pathways were
also included, particularly vitamins B6, B12, and folic
acid. Niacin was also included to assist with fat
metabolism in addition to homocysteine reduction, for
further cardiovascular support.
The treatment group received increasing doses of the
laser
enhanced methylation formula over a 3-month period of
time, whereas the placebo group only received sugar
pills. Subjects had blood drawn at baseline and every
month for homocysteine levels, blood counts, and other
metabolic tests. Subjects completed daily written reports
and each week completed an extensive standardized symptom
survey.
By the completion of the study, the treatment group
showed
very dramatic metabolic improvements not seen in the
placebo group. Homocysteine levels for the treatment
group started at values that on average carry about
double
the cardiac risk that by the end of the study reduced
to
values at less than the risk of the general population.
The reduction at every dosage level was highly
statistically significant, the homocysteine reduction
for
the group suggestive of a 20-30 year physiologic reduction
in this aging measure.
The placebo control group showed no significant change
in
homocysteine level. The study compellingly demonstrated
that the laser enhanced methylation formula was the
essential factor in significantly lowering homocysteine
and thereby improving methyl group transfer chemistry.
In addition to reduced homocysteine, the treated subjects
also showed highly statistically significant improvement
of several clinical symptoms that included the following:
1.~Reduced anxiety
2.~Decreased body aches and pains
3.~Elevation of mood
4.~Decreased paranoia and obsessive-compulsive scales
5.~Reduced hostility
6.~Much decreased global symptom profile (all
symptoms taken together in one comprehensive score)
Reducing homocysteine and improving methyl group transfers
does more than protect and repair DNA and lower cardiac
risks. Thousands of published scientific studies in
the
metabolic pathways related to the formula components
also
suggest the following potential benefits of these
nutrients:
1.~Cell membrane repair
2.~Increased SAMe and serotonin levels
3.~Balance of neurotransmitter chemistry in the brain
4.~Increased melatonin with immunologic, antiaging,
and antioxidant effects
5.~Regeneration and repair of insulating myelin
sheaths of nerves
6.~Rejuvenating degenerating proteins into functional
proteins again
7.~Required for full antioxidant potency of
antioxidant proteins in every cell and tissue
8.~Repair of joints and cartilage
9.~Reduced risk of colon and other cancers
10.~ May help reverse precancerous lesions to normal
cells
11.~ Improved histamine clearance
12.~ Supports detoxification pathways in the liver
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA is further boosted in function through
the addition of the laser activated betaine and vitamin
cofactors used in the clinical study. Not only does
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA provide the nucleic acid bases needed
for
regeneration of cellular DNA, it also provides methyl
group transfer factors to help slow, stop, and turn
back
the aging clock at the time of DNA regeneration.
These longevity-enhancing cofactors in CELLFOOD DNA/RNA
support a vast range of cellular balance and repair
from
the DNA to the cell membrane to the spaces between the
cells. With its complete spectrum of bioavailable
nutrients, CELLFOOD DNA/RNA is one of the most powerful
health and longevity formulations ever developed.
8. Added ATP Benefits
ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, perhaps the most
important of all the nucleic acid derivatives in the
body. Its effects are so powerful and essential to
cellular function, a description of its unique properties
warrants special attention. CELLFOOD DNA/RNA has an
especially rich supply of ATP in a highly bioavailable
form.
ATP is the fundamental currency of every cell in the
body. Virtually every activity in the body that requires
energy uses ATP as the source of power. Whether the
function is building complex molecules from building
blocks, maintaining the electric potential of cell
membranes, or allowing muscle fibers to contract for
mobility, speed, and strength, it is ATP that provides
the
electrochemical fuel.
8A. Cellular Energy
There are two fundamental ways ATP is generated in the
body, one very efficient and one very wasteful. Efficient
ATP production occurs through aerobic metabolism in
the
mitochondria, tiny organs or organelles within the cell
that burn fuels like fat and glucose to generate ATP.
Aerobic means that oxygen is used to completely ~burn~
a
fuel for maximum ATP production. For example, the
complete combustion of a single glucose molecule to
carbon
dioxide and water yields a rich harvest of 36 molecules
of
ATP. As CELLFOOD boosts cellular oxygen delivery, already
making ATP production more efficient, the ATP in CELLFOOD
DNA/RNA has an ideal environment for further boosting
cellular energy conditions; thus all the desirable ATP
effects are likely to be even more potent.
Inefficient ATP production occurs through anaerobic
metabolism. Anaerobic means without oxygen, so very
little energy and ATP are extracted from fuels. When
glucose is broken down through anaerobic metabolism,
each
molecule of glucose only gives rise to 2 molecules of
ATP,
wasting 95% of the potential glucose energy. Further,
the
byproduct of this reaction is two molecules of lactic
acid, which makes the cells more acidic and less
functional. In athletes, lactic acid accumulation causes
muscle fatigue and the ~burn~, whereas in cancer cells
lactic acidosis is a long recognized metabolic disturbance
that can promote a dwindling spiral of progressive
malignancy.
The direct suppression of tumor cell lines by ATP is
likely related to increased cellular energy efficiency.
The oxygenating effects of CELLFOOD combined with the
rich
supply of ATP in CELLFOOD DNA/RNA is likely to be additive
and even synergistic at helping cells throughout the
body
achieve higher energy potentials and more ideal energy
balances.
8B. Neurologic Effects
ATP is the primary fuel that drives learning, memory,
and
concentration functions. ATP is essential to maintain
the
membrane potentials that permit nerves to integrate
and
transmit signals throughout the central and peripheral
nervous system.
In addition, giving ATP or its breakdown product adenosine
intravenously has shown pain relief comparable to injected
morphine for pain due to ischemia (impaired blood flow).
Two surgical studies have shown a 25% reduction in the
need for postoperative narcotic pain relievers when
adenosine was given IV.
Perhaps most remarkable, peripheral neuropathic pain
is
one of the most difficult pain syndromes to manage.
Excruciating constant pain may resist all but the most
drastic measures. IV adenosine for 45-60 minutes reduced
neuropathic pain for 6 hours to 4 days in 86% of persons
tested.
8C. Cardiac Strengthening
The cyclic contraction of cardiac muscle is highly ATP
intensive and thrives on aerobic metabolism. The combined
oxygenation and ATP delivery effects of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA
provide the heart with an enhanced energy supply for
efficient function.
Providing intravenous ATP has been shown to slow
conduction through the AV node, which has been used
to
slow down certain excessively fast heart rated called
tachycardias. Occasionally chest symptoms can occur
with
rapid intravenous infusions of ATP that resolve within
seconds after stopping the infusion. ATP is not known
to
cause excessively slow heart rates in persons whose
heart
rates are normal.
8D. Muscle Performance
Skeletal Muscle also requires abundant quantities of
ATP
for muscular contraction. Supplemental ATP has been
described as an ~explosive performance enhancer.~
Especially if given with two other nutrient supporters
of
muscle function, creatine monohydrate and creatine
pyruvate, muscle endurance, performance, and recovery
can
be significantly boosted.
8E. Lung Function
ATP administration has been shown to have numerous
beneficial effects on lung function, particularly the
delicate lining membranes of the airways and alveoli.
In
the lung, branching tubes called bronchi and then
bronchioles deliver air to and from the tiny air sacs
called alveoli. The alveoli form a large membrane only
a
single cell in thickness through which capillary blood
can
pick up a new supply of oxygen and unload carbon dioxide
with every breath.
In vitro, or test tube level research, has shown that
ATP
increases secretion of surfactant in the alveoli.
Surfactant is an essential substance that keeps the
alveoli from collapsing when the breath is exhaled,
preserving integrity of functional gas exchange.
The bronchial tubes are lined with tiny brush like
structures called cilia that are constantly sweeping
particulates that get into the lung upward and outward.
ATP not only increases the ciliary beat frequency, it
also
increases the secretion of mucus and water from the
bronchial lining, to help keep the lungs clear at all
times.
In some conditions, the blood pressure in the vessels
in
the lungs can rise too high, a condition known as
pulmonary hypertension. When given intravenously, ATP
binds to the lining of the pulmonary vessels and
stimulates a cascade of events that cause the blood
vessels to relax and lower the pressure.
Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common inherited
genetic diseases. Impaired water and electrolyte
secretion from the bronchial lining results in thick
secretions that block the bronchial tubes and result
in
recurring infections. ATP has been found to increase
electrolyte and water secretion with improved clearance
of
secretions, offering hope of a new and useful intervention
in this often aggressively progressive condition.
8F. Cellular Immune Enhancement
Natural killer cells and cytotoxic T cells as reviewed
are
subtypes of effector lymphocytes that have a vital role
in
immune defense against tumors and virus-infected cells.
Recent research suggests that ATP may play an important
role in the mechanism through which these effector cells
eliminate the target abnormal cells. In test tube
studies, ATP has been shown to enhance the ability of
cytotoxic lymphocytes to rupture the membranes of tumor
cells.
8G. Antitumor Effects
In test tube studies, adding ATP has shown the ability
to
inhibit the growth of several types of human cancer
cell
lines. The types of cancer cells inhibited include
pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, melanoma, androgen-
independent prostate cancer (i.e., not responsive to
male
hormone manipulation, the most aggressive variant),
breast
cancer, myeloid and monocytic leukemia (bone marrow
derived tumors of blood forming cells), and multidrug
resistant colon cancer. In contrast, normal cells from
these tissues showed less inhibition of growth or no
inhibition at all, suggesting that increasing ATP outside
cells may have a selective inhibitory effect on several
cancer cell lines.
Mice injected with the untreated leukemia cell line
L1210
died of leukemia within 18 days. In contrast, if the
leukemic cells were treated with ATP before injection,
85%
of the recipient mice survived for more than 70 days,
a
highly significant increase in survival.
In mice and rats, injections of ATP into the abdominal
cavity have significantly slowed the growth of several
different types of tumor cell lines, including colon
cancer, lymphomas, and breast cancer. ATP administration
resulted in significantly prolonged survival in the
treated animals.
Administering ATP may also enhance the effectiveness
of
cancer chemotherapeutic agents, increasing the antitumor
effect of a given dose, or greatly reducing the dose
required for a therapeutic effect. In particular,
decreasing the dose of the treatment agents can
dramatically reduce the toxicity of these antitumor
drugs.
For example adding ATP to the drug doxorubicin to cultures
of human ovarian cancer cells doubled the tumor cells
eliminated compared to using doxorubicin alone. When
ATP
was given, 30-50% more doxorubicin accumulated in the
cancer cells, whereas giving ATP to healthy human cells
did not increase the accumulation of the drug.
In mouse melanoma cell lines, ATP increased the entry
of
several chemotherapeutic agents. The antitumor effects
of
these agents were additively increased with ATP
treatment. Even more remarkable was the synergistic
antitumor effect seen with the drug vincristine; the
effective therapeutic dose of this agent was reduced
to
one-tenth to one-fiftieth of the dose usually required.
In mice with melanoma addition of the ATP derivative
adenosine to the treatment program significantly increased
the tumor elimination. In addition, a protective effect
was seen on the healthy bone marrow, preventing the
usual
decrease in white blood cells due to treatment.
Beyond growth inhibition, ATP may cause some types of
tumor cells to burst. In human acute myeloid leukemia,
a
dose-dependent rupture of the cancer cells was seen
using
ATP.
In a randomized human clinical study, intravenous ATP
was
given to patients with advanced lung cancer at 2-4 week
intervals. Whereas the control patients lost 2 pounds
per
month, the treated patients had stable to slightly
increased weight. Over the six months of the study,
the
control patients lost one third of their muscular
strength, while the ATP treated patients lost no
strength. Although some medications may maintain weight
in cancer patients, this is usually due to fat gain
while
muscle is lost. Intravenous ATP is the first intervention
ever studied that appears to be able to maintain muscle
mass, body weight, and muscle function in advanced cancer
patients.
Thus ATP may be broadly beneficial in supporting antitumor
cell biology. ATP enhances cellular immune function,
inhibits the growth of several types of tumors, and
in
some cases may be able to cause direct elimination of
tumor cells. In addition, ATP protects from radiation
injury and may preserve weight and muscle strength.
Further study will be needed to assess the full range
of
benefits it may provide. Given its high safety profile,
ATP use may be one of the most beneficial adjuncts
developed for supportive care, enhancing the results
of
conventional treatments.
8H. Improved Human Survival of Shock
Under conditions of metabolic stress, such as depriving
a
tissue of oxygen through reduced blood supply, a rapid
and
massive depletion of ATP within cells occurs. Giving
ATP
or its metabolite adenosine has been described as
a ~natural defense system~ to protect the tissues from
the
effects of severe oxygen deprivation. These protective
effects include improved function of energy generating
mitochondria, better electrolyte transport, increased
ATP
within cells, reduced oxygen consumption, and improved
function of messenger molecules within the cells.
Shock is a condition in which there is a generalized
reduction of blood flow and oxygenation to tissues below
that required for their function. If shock is sustained,
organ failure or death may occur. Once shock is reversed,
supportive measures to assist tissue recovery can
significantly affect quality of outcome.
In a study of 32 patients with acute kidney failure
or
multiple organ failure due to shock, highly beneficial
effects of intravenous ATP were observed. The patients
were randomly divided into the treatment group that
received intravenous ATP or the control group that did
not. The survival rate of 73% in the control group was
increased to 100% survival in the ATP treatment group,
showing the powerful tissue restorative effect of this
intervention.
8I. Sexual Function
In human tissue studies, the administration of ATP and
adenosine has been found to induce the smooth muscle
relaxation that is essential for erectile function.
In
diabetic men, erectile dysfunction is common through
several mechanisms. The erectile tissue of diabetic
men
has been found to be especially sensitive to the smooth
muscle relaxation effects of ATP, offering them a hopeful
avenue of recovery of erectile function.
Containing both ATP and adenosine, CELLFOOD DNA/RNA
provides these elements known to support optimum sexual
function. Whether it is delivering the nutrients to
repair and preserve the health of tissues, or boosting
energy and performance, CELLFOOD DNA/RNA is designed
to
enhance quality of life across the board.
9. Safety
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA has an outstanding safety profile.
The
levels of nucleic acid elements provided falls within
the
internationally approved safety guidelines for
supplementing nucleic acids in infant formulas, if used
as
recommended on the product label. As these guidelines
are
on a per kilogram basis, the suggested adult usage is
6
sprays by mouth per day.
The one precaution is that the purine nucleic acids
adenine and guanine are metabolized to uric acid in
the
body. Persons with elevated uric acid or a history of
gout may have a very slightly increased risk of an episode
of gout while taking nucleic acid supplements. Because
of
the very high potency and bioavailability of the nucleic
acid elements in CELLFOOD DNA/RNA, the specific quantities
of purine bases are well below that usually associated
with an increased risk of elevating uric acid.
CELLFOOD has been used worldwide for decades with a
superb
safety profile, even for use in children. The amino
acid
and vitamin cofactors added are also known to be extremely
safe. The methyl group transfer factors are not only
extremely safe; they are highly beneficial for persons
of
all ages.
Some persons find that they are highly energized with
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA and may have difficulty falling asleep
if
they take it too late in the day. For such persons it
is
best to use the formula earlier in the day to enjoy
the
energy effects without interference with sleep.
For any person with medical issues, it is always advised
that their physician be consulted before beginning any
new
nutritional program.
10. Summary and Conclusion
CELLFOOD DNA/RNA is a landmark new formula that combines
the benefits of CELLFOOD with powerful proprietary laser
technology. Delivering highly bioactive nucleic acid
elements with synergistic cofactors, this formula can
help
rebuild and boost the function of every cell in the
body.
