DNA•RNA
Cell Regeneration Formula:
Articles
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. CellfoodÕs
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 rejuvenative 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.
