Nutrimed Labs: AGING

Condition: AGING

SUGGESTED NUTRITION:

Melatonin - #997
1 or 2 caps per night, 1/2 to 1 hour before going to bed. Melatonin is the most powerful anti-oxidant in the body. Mice fed Melatonin in their drinking water remained healthy and outlived untreated mice by approximately 25 years in human terms.

Pro-Antho Forte - #898
4 per day - Pycnogenol (Proanthocyanidins) are powerful antioxidants. Catechin, a proanthocyanidin binds with collagen and elastin to protect connective tissue from enzyme degradation which helps restore flexibility to skin, joints, arteries, capillaries and other tissue. Improves circulation.

Ginko Biloba #424
3-6 per day - Increases oxygen and glucose to the brain. Improves chronic cerebral-arterial insufficiency, peripheral arterial insufficiency and vasuclar insufficiency symptoms by improved blood supply.

Co-enzyme Q-10 with Vitamin E
Co-enzyme Q-10 is an integral part of the mitochondria and is essential for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate, the energy source of each and every body cell. The highest concentration of Co-enzyme Q-10 is found in the heart and liver. Co-enzyme Q-10 is a major stimulator of the Reticulo-endothelial system.

PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The pathology of aging may be described as a general slowing down of the vital processes, with reduced endocrine and enzyme production; reduction or absence of digestive enzymes and gastric hydrochloric acid with inefficient digestion, absorption and assimilation of all nutrients; retention to a greater or lesser degree of waste products of metabolism, with increasing buildup of toxins and body poisons. Without the presence of disease, the aging process is not really considered as a pathological entity but rather the end result of a physiological process that has served its purpose and has become worn out. Stress on the organism is one of the major factors in accelerating the aging process.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The physiology of living invites us to consider that the death of individual human cells is always brought about through a failure of the cell to dispose of its waste products. Living cells have been kept alive for indefinite periods of time through attention to proper nutrient intake, utilization, and excretion. Practically, we find that degenerative events that take place, such as stiffening of joints, decreased muscular activity and coordination, loss of strength and the sense of balance, mental changes, digestive changes, and demineralization of the skeletal structure, and increased capillary fragility, may all be reversed to some degree through an improved diet, improved elimination, and regular use of concentrated, natural food supplements, vitamins and minerals. The ability of the human body to withstand the wear and tear process and stress of living is enhanced by the high degree of nutrition achieved and maintained by the body throughout a lifetime. However, much progress has been made in the field of gerontology through Nutritional Therapy in every stage of aging.

TREATMENT:

Dr. Hans Selye, of the University of Montreal, in his studies of the problems of stress, has scientifically proven the existence of a vital "life force" which allows the human organism to daily adapt to stress conditions. He also found that the body has various defense mechanisms which defend against specific and non-specific stress. Thus the really important thing is that the body is equipped to maintain itself in health, to cure itself of disease, and to remain youthful by successfully coping with those factors which bring about what we call old age. The most promising field of research in gerontology today is found in nutrition and the most successful results in combating old age are though nutrition as a therapy.
