 "He cites studies that show that negative perceptions about aging can shorten our lives, while positive beliefs prolongs them: older people with positive attitudes about aging were found to live 772 years longer than those with negative attitudes. He also reminds us that optimism heals: 'A study of nearly 1,000 older adults followed for nine years concluded that people with high levels of optimism had a 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and a 55% lower risk of death from all causes compared to their more pessimistic peers."- Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.) |
 "To date there is no concrete scientific evidence to support a link between parabens and breast cancer," observed the two physician authors of a 2007 study of parabens in the journal Skin & aging. "Nevertheless, these studies brought to light the possibility that parabens might affect endocrine function and breast cancer development. Given that underarm deodorants or antiperspirants that contain these parabens are used daily for milUons of people and the close proximity of the axilla and breast tissue, this possibility should be considered and further work done in this area."- Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) |
 "More often, fluoride-induced acceleration of the aging process leads to a disease so persistently severe that death is an eventual, though not immediate, result.
WARNING: Everyone being exposed to the levels of fluoride found in the drinking water is being chronically poisoned. Recurrent "upset stomachs", arthritis, skin problems, weakness, etc. are diseases which people begin to accept as normal. As these diseases become more severe, they are attributed to "old age."- Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, Fluoride the aging Factor: How to Recognize and Avoid the Devastating Effects of Fluoride (Get the book.) |

| "It was not until recently that research provided an adequate answer to the following questions:
How could a substance like fluoride cause such aging symptoms as premature skin wrinkling?
Fluoride at levels as low as 1 part per million in the drinking water give rise to an increase in the urine concentration of certain biological chemicals that signal the breakdown of collagen. In addition, fluoride leads to the irregular formation of collagen in the body.
Collagen is important. It makes up 30 percent of the body's protein." - Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, Fluoride the aging Factor: How to Recognize and Avoid the Devastating Effects of Fluoride (Get the book.) |
 "Here's the shocker: Creatures such as sharks and alligators that date back hundreds of millions of years have no aging mechanism and appear to have no finite age limit. Another example: Cell lines of cancer tumors have survived unchanged in petri dishes for more than sixty years, long after their human hosts have died."- Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.) |
 "The purpose of keeping a journal is to maintain a regular inventory of your life, especially with regard to reversing the aging process. Areas you may want to address in your journal include:
• A food journal, documenting everything you eat and drink; when you ate or drank it; what you were doing at the time, and how you felt before, during, and after you ate.
• A record of your exercise regimen, i.e., how far you walked or ran; what exercise program you did at the gym—how long on the treadmill, etc.; your pulse rate; respiratory rate; and any physical sensations."- Gary Null, Ph.D., Gary Nulls Ultimate Anti aging Program (Get the book.) "People are beginning to receive this therapy as prophylactic treatment to slow the aging process. The therapy, however, is not without its problems as patients, especially those with kidney disease, must be monitored for renal function. Physicians must be certified chelation therapists to perform this procedure. Clinical ecology Clinical ecologists closely examine the relationship between the elements of a person's diet and any symptoms they have been experiencing. For example, a person's irritable bowel may be the result of milk consumption." - Gary Null, Ph.D., Gary Nulls Ultimate Anti aging Program (Get the book.) |
 "Constant exposure to disruptive electromagnetic fields
• Chlorines and fluorides in our water
• Continued, unrelenting, high-stress jobs and living situations
The bottom line is that if you live in any industrialized country in the world today, you must supplement to maintain your health—to reduce the tisk of cancel, heart disease, degenerative diseases of all kinds, retard the aging process, and protect against toxic injury.
And What Do We Supplement With?
Before we can actually determine which supplements we need to take, we need to take a quick look at the fundamentals of nutrition."- Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Stress Factors: aging, trauma, medications, disease, infection, and "stress" itself all accelerate the body's production of free radicals—oftentimes by a factor of eight times or more. Chain Reactions: When a free radical steals an electron to balance itself out, it creates a new free radical in the molecule from which it stole the electron. In many cases the new free radical will seek to balance itself out by stealing an electron—and so on, and so on. And remember, even one free radical is capable of destroying an entire cell, or a strand of DNA. Are All Free Radicals the Same?" - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Scientists now know that free radicals play a major role in the aging process as well as in the onset of cancer, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, and possibly allergies and a host of other ailments. But which antioxidants wotk best for you? 8. Hormonal Balance. Each and every day we are exposed to thousands and thousands and thousands of chemicals that work to destroy the hormonal balance of our bodies—with disastrous effects. Correcting these imbalances can save our health—and our sanity!! 9. Water." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "L-Carnosine L-carnosine is a naturally occurring combination of two amino acids, alanine and histadine that can actually reverse the signs of aging. It works as an antioxidant to protect cellular protein from attack by carbonyl groups and prevents the oxidation of sugats in the body. Supplementation with carnosine represents one of the most powerful things you can do to hold back the ravages of old age. • Vitamin E In addition to protecting the cardiovascular system, vitamin E is particularly effective in reducing the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) |
| "RUN COOL, RUN LONG
Studies of animals and humans that are examples of successful aging show that decreased body temperature is a common feature associated with longevity.14 As you've learned throughout this book, heat is a true instigator of shortened life span, not only from its direct effect on the production of AGEs but also as a signal of inefficient energy use, as in miles per gallon. True energy efficiency-think of yourself as a hybrid car instead of a gas guzzling V-12-translates into more years lived for the amount of food consumed." - Dr. Steven R.

| "Sexually, my aging process has been reversed. Use of Eternal brought about premenopausal conditions. I experienced sweats, fuller breasts, and vaginal lubrication. Intake of Passion affects my sexual responses. The intensity of those responses are greater. I also experience sexual stimulation from visual sources. These responses are at a level that had been fifteen years ago.
I started taking Greens and Grains recently. Since that time, I lose only a few hairs when I shampoo. My nails are stronger and are growing more rapidly than previously." - Gary Null, Ph.D., Gary Nulls Ultimate Anti aging Program (Get the book.) |
| "Cosmeceuticals claim to protect and lighten the skin, reduce wrinkling, eliminate cellulite, and even reverse the aging process; essentially, a cosmeceutical is any product that biologically alters the skin. By this standard, sunscreens, too, should also be considered cosmeceuticals because they are designed to protect the superficial, dermal, epidermal, and deeper layers of skin. "Ninety percent of all cosmetics sold in the world today are probably cosmeceuticals," Kligman said in that same 2005 interview. " - Samuel S.

 "Furthermore, aging broadens the curve, so that the valley sets at a higher blood sugar; that is, "normal" blood sugar is age dependent.
So, who has diabetes?
If you don't make insulin, you are not a well person. You have type 1 diabetes, and without insulin therapy, you will soon die. Type I diabetes usually starts in childhood or young adulthood. Your blood sugar (glucose) will escalate, but the glucose will not be able to enter the cells of most of your organs without insulin."- Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) |
 "Researchers from the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on aging at Tufts University recently concluded, in a review article, that patients with any of the aforementioned conditions might benefit from eating yogurt, thanks to favorable changes in the microflora of the gut, the time food takes to go through the bowel, and enhancement of the immune system.
Take, for example, the results from a recent Taiwanese study that tested the effects of a 4-week pretreatment of Lactobacillus- and B/f/dotoacfer/um-containing yogurt on 138 people with persistent H."- Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) |
| "I am not that, not that," he meditates: "not my mother or son who has just died; my body, which is ill or aging; my arm, my eye, my head; not the summation of all these things. I am not my feelinsr: not mv mind: not mv Dower of intuition." Bv such meditations he is driven to his own profundity and breaks through, at last, to unfathomable realizations. No man can return from such exercises and take very seriously himself as Mr. So-an-so of Such-and-such a township, U.S.A.—Society and duties drop away. Mr. So-and-so, having discovered himself big with man, becomes indrawn and aloof." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.) |
 "Numerous studies have found that soy products
• increase the risk of breast cancer in women, brain damage in both men and women, and abnormalities in infants
• contribute to thyroid disorders, especially in women
• promote kidney stones (because of excessively high levels of oxalates which combine with calcium in the kidneys)
• weaken the immune system
• cause severe, potentially fatal food allergies
• accelerates brain weight loss in aging users
Soy products contain;
• Phytoestrogens (isoflavones) genistein and daidzein, which mimic and sometimes block the hormone estrogen."- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and hormone that promotes good sleep, fights aging, boosts the immune system, and slows the growth of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer. The most comprehensive studies on this subject were performed by the husband and wife team of applied medical anthropologists, Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer. Singer and Grismaijer found that the Maoris, the indigenous people of New Zealand who integrated into western culture, had the same rates of breast cancer as their western peers." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
 "Just as you sit down with your bowl of cereal, you find that sometime during the night your aging cat, Spike, vomited on your favorite antique tablecloth. You sit down next to the mound of vomit to eat your breakfast. You say to yourself, Poor dear old Spike. I hope you're feeling better. I guess this tablecloth wasn't going to last forever. Then you turn on the TV. The newscaster is reporting live from the latest war zone. The footage shows civilian victims of a recent bombing, bleeding and dismembered. You think, What a clever camera crew. They were able to take such vivid pictures!"- Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.) "One side effect of reading this book may be to hasten this positive aspect of aging! How Much Is Enough? So far, I've sketched only a description of how positivity opens our minds and transforms our lives into something better. In the next several chapters I'll present the scientific evidence that has convinced me that there's reason to take the news about positivity to heart and experiment with it in your own life. If you decide to do so, you'll need more than a good description. You'll need a good prescription." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.) |

This time, however, an examination revealed that she had developed bone cancer in her lower spine and left knee." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Many people, who have "grown a tummy," consider this extension of their waist line to be a harmless nuisance or a natural part of aging. They say that almost everyone has an enlarged tummy nowadays, and that this must be normal. They don't realize that they are breeding a living time bomb that may go off some day and injure vital parts of the body. Cancer almost always indicates the existence of such a time bomb. Eighty percent of the lymphatic system is located at, and associated with, the intestinal tract, therefore making this area of the body the largest center of immune activity." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
 "To honor my aging parents.
• To always tell the truth.
• To be kind.
"I have a deep feeling of security because I am so resolute in these intentions. I know they will drive everything I do. They direct every decision because they give me an anchor. With them as my guideposts, I experience joy, calm, and energy. I feel centered and so I don't get caught up in guilt, sadness, disappointment, and the loss of perspective that can happen in the get-ahead-at-all-costs environment at work."- Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) "One even claimed, "It's almost as if I've stopped aging and started to get younger!" Just thinking about giving seems to be beneficial. Studies done at the University of Wisconsin found that people engaged in compassionate meditation (thinking about compassion and giving) created greater activity in the parts of the brain linked to happiness, rational thought, and creativity. Think about the times you've given and the times you've been given to. How does it feel? If you had other giving opportunities, whom could most benefit from receiving your gifts, and what would those gifts be?" - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) |
 "It is known as an antioxidant which hinders cellular damage that leads to the aging process. The typical dosage for Vitamin A is 10,000 IU per day. Vitamin A in high doses, such as over 100,000 international units can be toxic. Beta carotene is a precursor to vitamin A and has no toxic effects if taken in larger doses. The skin may turn an orange tinge, however it is not harmful.
B Complex and Folic Acid
B vitamins are necessary for intestinal health. Each B vitamin has a special function in the body. There are many more properties of these vitamins (too many to list here."- Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) |
 "The degradation of collagen leads to wrinkles that can be caused by aging or smoking. These wrinkles are partly due to oxidative damage by free radicals. As we age, collagen becomes more highly cross-linked and therefore more rigid. Injected collagen is used in cosmetic surgery, especially to thicken lips.
Ferrous iron is required as a cofactor for collagen synthesis in the body. Vitamin C plays its role as an antioxidant to reduce the iron from its oxidized state. The iron can then go on as a cofactor to make more collagen."- Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) |
| "THE CAUSES OF DIVERTICULITIS
The causes of this disorder are low fibre diets, a weakened intestinal wall and aging. Chronic constipation and straining with hard stools weaken the intestine wall over time. People who smoke, are obese, stressed, have cardiovascular or gallbladder disease tend to have a greater incidence of diverticulitis." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) |
| "A group from the USDA-Neuroscience Laboratory, Research Center on aging at Tufts University, warns that by the year 2050, about 30 percent of the population will be age sixty-five or older and at increased risk for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.1 What this means is that we need to act now to keep our minds sharp.
WHAT CAUSES THE BRAIN TO AGE PREMATURELY?
Neurological diseases such as senility, dementia, and Alzheimer's manifest most commonly in the elderly." - Gary Null, Gary Null's Power Aging (Get the book.) |
