As a woman "of a certain age", I was doing very well. Just short of getting old-age benefits -- not only from the government, but also from the effects of general healthy aging -- my osteoporosis test results being that of a 20 year-old.
    Due, no doubt, to a constellation of various good health practices such as: many years of doing Yoga poses, breathing and meditation; 28 years of daily 4-5 km walks; and, good nutritional practices. Then came an inexplicable year of recurring flus and other debilitating health-problems, until we finally managed to isolate the cause: a big mold-problem (including the dreaded stachybotrus) caused by dripping uninsulated waterpipes under the bathroom sink.
    Resulting brain-fog, poor memory, lack of focus, exhaustion from poor sleep patterns, pain and aches in neck and back from an old injury after a bad fall - all limited my quality of life severely. An enlightened doctor suggested a supplement. He assured me that it had helped several of his patients with increased energy, mental clarity and focus, joint and muscle comfort, stress-management and improved mood.
    As a certified nutrition consultant I was skeptical at first but desperate enough to try it. The berry-tasting liquid, containing 20 powerful plant-extracts and the equivalent of ten fruits and vegetables, tasted not bad at all. The benefits were spectacular and immediate. After the first day, my husband realized that I had unusual energy after a long lecture that would normally have wiped me out; my swollen-in-the-heat ankles were slender again; an arthritic finger stopped aching; intermittent back-pain was less frequent; I kept falling out of my shoes, as my shoe-size became smaller; skirts and pants felt looser, because I had lost five pounds without trying; and, I slept much better.
    Best of all, was that I had regained my mental powers and was full of energy, despite being hypothyroid. But the supplement is not so much about miracles as it is a most effective way of slowing down, and even reversing, the aging process. How? Through its remarkable cell-regenerating effects on a cellular (DNA) level. Bio-chemists and medical scientists now know that all health-problems are simply symptoms of one single root-cause: Aging!
     From birth onwards, our bodies are always teetering on the seesaw of damage and repair. By age 30, we lose 300 billion cells a day that have to be replicated. By then, the body has lost the energy to re-generate and repair efficiently, and it now starts to tilt steeply down toward de-generation and decrepitude, unless we tip the see-saw back up through the right life-style, accurate breathing practices, and good nutrients in our body-pantry. The problem, then, is not our expanding waistlines, cholesterol, high blood pressure, chronic illness, or failing memory, but de-generation through aging.
    The older we get, the faster we age. And, unless we learn to address all the various underlying causes of aging, we can never achieve optimal health.
