Methyl Groups
Lowered Homocysteine Levels and Longevity
To make Cellfood DNA-RNA an ultimate anti-aging formula, it was formulated
to provide 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 health risks 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 (also known as CH3). Aging is regulated and
programmed by the gradual loss of methyl groups from 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. Stress, poor nutrition, poor vitamin intake, low exercise,
environmental toxins, smoking and radiation— all accelerate methyl
group loss. Any intervention that slows, stops, and reverses the loss
of methyl groups from DNA is, in turn, slowing, stopping, and even reversing
aging. Cellfood DNA-RNA provides the most powerful nutrient factors for
improving DNA methylation ever studied.
The most sensitive test for determining the rate of methyl group loss
from DNA measures a blood chemical called homocysteine. The higher the
homocysteine level, the greater the rate of methyl group loss from DNA.
Levels of homocysteine in teenagers is between 4-6, and tends to rise
1-2 points per decade, such that at 60-70 years of age, the level is typically
12-15 or higher.
Elevated homocysteine is linked to a wide array of health risks. Above
a level of 6.3, for example, cardiac risk rises exponentially, with a
level of 15 carrying a risk four times greater— and a level of 20
carrying a risk nine times greater— than for the general population.
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 genetically high homocysteine
levels to conceive and deliver normally. In other persons with high homocysteine,
adding betaine has reversed neurologic defects and caused gray hair to
darken and lost hair to regrow.
Laser treatment of betaine has shown dramatic molecular effects that
favor greater biological activity. Crystals grown using Dr. Ovokaitys'
method show a very high level of homogeneity compared to the irregularities
and defects in the control crystals. Homogeneity reduces the energy needed
by enzymes to make the desired end-products.
In a clinical study, the 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 boost fat metabolism
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 received
only sugar pills. Subjects had blood drawn every month for homocysteine
levels, blood counts, and other metabolic tests. Subjects completed daily
written reports and each week completed a standardized survey.
By the the study's completion , the treatment group showed dramatic metabolic
improvements not seen in the placebo group. Homocysteine levels for the
treatment group started at about double the cardiac risk of the general
population, and by the end of the study was reduced to risk values less
than the general population. The reduction at every dosage level was highly
statistically significant, and the overall homocysteine reduction for
the group suggested a 20-30 year physiological reduction in aging.
The placebo control group showed no significant change in homocysteine
levels. The study demonstrated that the laser enhanced methylation formula
was the essential factor in significantly lowering homocysteine and thereby
improving methyl group transfer.
In addition to reduced homocysteine, the treated subjects also showed
significant improvement of several clinical symptoms: • Reduced anxiety
• Decreased body aches and pains • Elevation of mood •
Reduced hostility • Decreased paranoia and obsessive-compulsive scales
• Much decreased global symptom profile (all symptoms taken together
in one comprehensive score).
Beyond this specific study, thousands of published scientific studies
related to the components of this formula also suggest the following benefits:
• Increased SAM-e and serotonin • Balance of neurotransmitter
chemistry in the brain • Increased melatonin with immunologic, anti-aging,
and antioxidant effects • Regeneration and repair of insulating myelin
nerve sheaths • Rejuvenating degenerating proteins into functional
proteins • Required for full antioxidant potency of antioxidant proteins
in every cell and tissue • Repair of joints and cartilage •
Improved histamine clearance • Detoxification in the liver
Synergistic Effects
Of Cellfood and Nucleic Acid DNA and RNA
The powerful effects of Cellfood DNA-RNA Cell Regeneration Formula are
further amplified by the extraordinary properties of its Cellfood base.
This breakthrough formula has been utilized and studied for over forty
years, with thousands of glowing testimonials from around the globe. Cellfood
has been shown to significantly increase the absorption of nutrients.
In the vital 30 seconds after the initial spraying of Cellfood DNA-RNA,
rapid nucleic acid entry into the bloodstream is accelerated for maximum
biological benefit. Cellfood's proprietary dibase-dipole technology creates
an optimal environment favoring the absorption and utilization of its
78 trace minerals and elements. Highly bioavailable trace elements are
essential to support the numerous enzyme systems in the body that require
trace micro-nutrients. Cellfood increases tissue oxygenation— increasing
the potential for energy generation in every cell. Greater energy potential
of cells supports the ability to fully use nucleic acids of Cellfood DNA-RNA
to repair and turn back the cellular aging clock. The extraordinary action
of Cellfood to generate nascent hydrogen is one of the most potent antioxidant
mechanisms that can be delivered to cell tissue. 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. Thus, the new DNA, RNA, and proteins generated by Cellfood DNA-RNA
Longevity formula will receive high-level antioxidant protection to preserve
the rejuvenate benefits of nucleic acid supplementation. The 34 trace
enzymes supplied in Cellfood help fill in metabolic gaps for optimum utilization
of nucleic acids and other nutrients. Through improved digestion, the
basic precursors the cells need for energy metabolism, and building blocks
for complex molecules, are abundantly delivered. The 17 trace amino acids
in Cellfood provide some of the most basic nutrient needs in the body
with which to build enzymes and proteins. Combining amino acids with minerals
and nucleic acids powerfully fuels the cellular engines with the complete
spectrum of basic and essential elements for high performance cells.
Individual DNA Bases vs. DNA Chains
It is important to make the distinction between chains of DNA and individual
bases of DNA. DNA chains are long strands of individual bases strung together
into a double helix that may have over 10 million bases linked together
in a single huge molecule. Intact DNA strands provide a linear code for
the production of proteins and enzymes.
Therefore chains of DNA bases
are information-containing and have potential for influencing DNA information
in the cell nucleus. Chains of DNA require extensive digestion to extract
individual bases, resulting in poor absorption and in only a small fraction
of the bases being usable. 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. The Cellfood DNA-RNA Cell Regeneration
Formula contains only the individual bases of DNA and RNA for safety and
high absorption and utilization.
ATP: The Essential Electrochemical Fuel
For All of the Body's Functions
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is perhaps the most important of all the
nucleic acid derivatives in the body. Its effects are powerful and essential
to cellular function. Cellfood DNA-RNA Longevity formula has an especially
rich supply of ATP in a highly bioavailable form. ATP is the fundamental
energy 'currency' of every cell in the body. Virtually every bodily activity
that requires energy uses ATP as the source of power. Whether the function
is creating complex molecules, 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.
Cellular Energy
The most efficient production of ATP occurs through aerobic metabolism
in the mitochondria— (aerobic means that oxygen is used to completely
burn a fuel for maximum ATP production). When glucose is broken down through
anaerobic metabolism (without oxygen), each molecule of glucose gives
rise to only 2 molecules of ATP, wasting 95% of the potential energy.
But because Cellfood boosts cellular oxygen delivery, the ATP in Cellfood
DNA-RNA has an ideal environment for further boosting cellular energy
conditions. Thus, the complete combustion of that same glucose molecule
to carbon dioxide and water yields a rich harvest of 36 molecules of ATP!
Neurological 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.
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.
Muscle Performance
Skeletal muscle requires abundant quantities of ATP for muscular contraction.
Supplemental ATP has been described as an explosive performance enhancer.
When given with two other nutrient supporters of muscle function—
creatine monohydrate and creatine pyruvate— muscle endurance, performance,
and recovery can be significantly boosted.
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 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. 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 breathing integrity.
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.
Sexual 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.
Cell Tissue Regeneration,
HDL Cholesterol Levels and Intestinal Health
Cell Tissue Regeneration
In order to sustain health, virtually every tissue in the body must regularly
regenerate itself . It's now known 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. 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.
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.
Intestinal Integrity and Nucleic Acid
The intestinal lining replaces its cells every 7 days. Only a single
layer thick, this lining is dependent on a sufficient supply of nucleic
acids to completely regenerate itself every week. If nutritional support
is inadequate, degenerated regeneration of the intestinal lining impairs
the enzymatic stages of digestion, leading to poor digestion. Infants
also require dietary nucleotides for optimum health and development.
Human
breast milk has a significantly higher content of nucleic acid bases than
cows milk. Infants fed formula milk instead of breast milk have been found
to have intestinal bacteria that greatly increases risk of outbreaks of
diarrhea. Studies show that if formula milk is supplemented with nucleic
acid similar to that in breast milk, infants have a much healthier profile
of intestinal bacteria.
In nucleic acid supplemented infants, the incidence
and severity of diarrhea is reduced significantly to levels of breast
fed infants. A vital component of breast milk that confers its health
advantages over formula milk thus appears to be its higher content of
nucleic acids.
