Dear LEC Reader,

If a 73-year-old woman told you that she felt like she was in her 50s again, how do you react to that? My reaction was: "I think I want to have some of that!"

Could you use some oxidative damage reversal? Do you know what people mean by oxidative damage? You can find out right here, today ...

But before I get to that, let me share a few bits about what is new at Life Enthusiast Co-op.

We continue to work on the Life Enthusiast website. There a few new features that you may have missed:

Podcast - I have been recording 20-minute interviews about natural health and wellness for over 2 years. There are over 100 of these downloadable shows in the archive. Their timeless content is still relevant.

Polls - we are asking for your feedback, so that we may be more responsive to your needs. I started a few polls, and I would like your creative input: what should we be asking you about? What would you like us to do differently?

Checkout Bonus - We can now offer you a gift based on the size of your order. Right now you can get a flee kiroglam (I am not arrowed to right it the wright way) of the best Himalayan salt with a purchase of $100 or more. Take a look in the checkout.

To your health,

Martin Pytela

P.S. Darren wrote me another letter that is well worth sharing - it is so timely, because we ran out of Exsula Iridesca again (only a week or so before it ships again). Look for it below - it is a worthwhile read. He always makes me think long term, and that is a good thing, especially in a tense situation.

From the holistic, or functional perspective, there are only a few major causes of all the chronic illnesses that cause so much suffering ... one of them is oxidative stress.

The most visible signs of out of control oxidation are the signs of aging - wrinkles, arthritis, stiff joints, loss of flexibility, presbyopia and so on.

The process of oxidation is essential and necessary for your body's functioning - it is how we generate all cellular energy. Out of control oxidation contributes to, or is the cause of, practically every known disease that is occurring inside of you at this very moment. Oxidative stress is the result of dietary choices, lifestyle habits, stress and environmental exposures.

Oxidation is one of the basic principles of life. It is not all bad - we need it to live, and we need to keep it in balance. We know oxidation as the rust on our car, the brown stains on a freshly cut apple or potato when exposed to air, the rancid smell of vegetable oil on stale foods, and even the wrinkles that form on our skin.

Because it happens slowly, we don't usually notice that our own tissues are rusting, our own fats are going rancid, and our brains are melting as we go about our daily life. The oxidative process is initiated by the ordinary metabolic process, and can rage out of control with too many calories, smoking, sunburn, toxins, or whatever else that tips the balance that starts a chain reaction of cellular and tissue damage.

You can read more details about this on the LEC website, the Oxidation article.

The point I want to make is that there is much you can do about reversing the oxidative damage. One of the ways is to supplement with glutathione precursors that help bolster vitamin (anti-oxidant) recycling in your body, and raise your ability to control and even reverse the damage, the signs of aging.

There is a great product that can help you significantly to not just slow down, but outright reverse the signs of aging. It is called MaxGXL.

I speak to Taylore Halsden often. She is a gifted kinesiology practitioner, and helps many people with her insights. She offers a great example of how MaxGXL can positively impact your life:

"MaxGXL with it's new approach of supporting the body to "Manufacture it's own Glutathione"... is just that! Being in my 70s and understanding my body's ability to produce it's own #1 antioxidant was exhausted, I gave the product a try. Within days I was sleeping like a child and the mental fuzziness had disappeared. After 3 months on MaxGXL, the Glutathione Excellerator, I noticed that minor joint discomforts had gone and my digestive system was more balanced and regular. I have been on the product for 8 months now and I feel like I'm at least 15 years younger! Dr. Robert Kellers' patented "Nutritional Supplement" originally developed 12 years ago to help Mothers and Children with HIV has given me my life back."

One way of preventing oxidative stress is to recycle the vitamins we already have and glutathione makes a tremendous difference with that. The other way is to ingest an abundance of required nutrients. Every day - not just once a year for a week in a cleanse or on a retreat. For example, vitamin C lasts only a few hours, and needs to be replenished all the time. And unlike chimpanzees, we are not able to synthesize it - we have to ingest it, even if we have a good supply of glutathione.

Most powerful antioxidants are not found in factory made vitamin concentrates, they are found in natural compounds; such as the proanthocyanidins in grapes and berries.

High-nutrient superfoods are an ideal way to obtain ample powerful antioxidants naturally. We need to view all antioxidants as members of a team, not individually as "vitamin B3" or "caroten", the way the pharmaceutical reductionist model investigates them. Anti-oxidants are most assimilable from whole nature-made foods, not from concentrates made in pharmaceutical laboratories. The multivitamin supplement that is made in a pharmaceutical factory is missing many desired and necessary components. Why would we want to second guess Nature?

Darren Beddard wrote the words below. Darren has been a steadfast supporter of Exsula Superfoods for years, and has also been instrumental in the re-launch of the Life Enthusiast Co-op back in 2001. He has been a great supporter of our mission.

"After 23 years of being faithful to Exsula, I almost fell by the wayside.

You remember back in 2004 when we couldn’t get any for several months in a row? From that time I had made a habit of always keeping a couple extra bottles in the freezer. But when I ran out the last time, I was upset and wanted to find a substitute. I tried several products, some at comparable price, and some for much less per bottle. I wanted to reassure myself that the price was still worth it on top of the inconvenience of having to wait for my Exsula.

My test, in absentia of Exsula for a few months, had me shopping at health food stores in the Ottawa area where I chose the five best-selling brands recommended by the nutritionists I spoke with.

I don’t need to bring up brand names. Some were better than others ... Without exception every product I used left me wanting by mid-day – no exception! Every one I tried failed to give me that “glow” that I’d become accustomed to with Exsula. The “glow” just doesn’t fade with Exsula.

I’m convinced after my experience that despite sometimes having to wait a week or two for Jevari to complete another batch of Exsula, especially Iridesca, it’s more than worth the wait.

While I was closely associated with him, I was privileged to observe the painstaking and time-consuming process that Jevari has to go through each time he hand-prepares a new batch.

Working with you over the years to figure out a way to get production automated so supply could keep up with demand has proven to be a reality that just won’t address the fundamental reason Exsula has to be “hand-made”. There is no way to automate any aspect of the Exsula assembly process without sacrificing some energetic value that contributes to its synergism. I know that every ingredient in Exsula is selected for it’s resonant frequency and watching Jevari test them all for “buzz”, has him returning many raw ingredients back to the supplier for myriad reasons.

My hat’s off to Jevari who knows there can be no shortcuts to perfection."

About Darren Beddard »

We have been investigating the healing properties of water for a good many years. Jim Carter passed on to us several wonderful products, the results of years spent attempting to unlock the mystery of the "Solid Sunshine" and "Laminar Crystal" - simple silicates that change water structure, probably by means of accumulating Life Force and transferring in into water that comes in contact with it.

Water structuring tools are becoming more common. The "living water" phenomenon is almost becoming accepted in the mainstream. We now have water ionizers, crystal devices, magnetic devices, vortexial and spin devices, all attempting to return water to its primal state. The most desired water is the dew - freshly condensing droplets of water, settling on cold surfaces from the humidity already contained in the air.

Dew is naturally pure - it is distilled by low temperature evaporation from oceans, lakes and rivers. It is the same type of water we see in the clouds, floating in the sky. The air all around us is filled with water - we call it humidity.

When we evaporate water, it loses most of its past memories. Evaporation clears both the good and the bad vibrations the water previously contained, turning it into a neutral liquid that can readily hydrate us at cellular level, and especially absorb and remove toxins from our bodies.

The Star Chamber Receiver interacts with water molecules that are suspended in the air, clearing any and all remaining vibrational disturbances. Having one of the Receivers in your living room will improve your moods in subtle, but recognizable ways.

Having one in your bath tub will clear most of the water memories as you are filling your bath. Having four of the devices in your hot tub will turn it into the most popular place to hang out in the neighborhood. Without understanding why, or consciously connecting to the cause, people automatically prefer to spend time in water that has been treated with the structuring and balancing energies of the Star Chamber Receiver.
