ANY disease or “medical
condition.”
They ARE appropriate to support the structure
and function of the human body.
Learning objectives
• Define a problem: American’s medical and
financial health is declining.
• MD’s and HCP’s are getting squeezed and are
dropping out.
• Answer the question of “but I just don’t GET it
about those antioxidants.”
• Answer the objections about the scanner “gizmo.”
• Review the literature. Achieve state of the art, up
to date knowledge.
• Review some personal reflections.
The health of society & the doctors to
treat it
• Doctors are going to get squeezed: more will quit,
YOUR out of pocket costs are going up.
• Americans will have less money to pay for bigger
health care costs
• Average people need to do something NOW to
maintain health and minimize costs.
And why we should all start paying
attention to those “filthy rich doctors” and
how they are getting paid.
The Problems & The Solution
The good ole days:
•People had jobs
•People had insurance
•Insurance PAID.
•Society was healthier.
•Doctors were
plentiful.
•Your healthcare was
essentially “free,” no
matter how stupidly
you behaved.
Problems:
•2001/2008
recessions
•Outsourcing
•More medical
technology
•More activism from
groups such that
“everything must be
covered.”
•2013-14: More
government
interference in free
market
The RESULTS:
•Medical insurance costs
more $$$.
•Fewer doctors available.
• Doctors are
quitting.
• Insurance
companies/
government =
defacto
RATIONING.
•Now, you “gonna have
to PAY” for poor health
habits, poor nutrition,
obesity, smoking, etc.
Everett Napier, an unemployed miner, said he pawned various items while he has
been looking for work, including rifles, tools, jewelry and two guitars he used to
play at church. 'I just swallowed my pride and quit playing. That's all you can do.'

• WHAT WOULD YOU DO???
Business 101 – 3 doctor internal medicine clinic
– what does this REALLY MEAN?
As your fees stagnate or are cut, and as your overhead
continues to rise, you will:
•Pinch pennies on overhead, do 5-7 minutes per patient
and try to be cheap. (Unsuccessful).
•Work harder and longer hours to keep pace and feed
your family (and burn yourself out)…
• …And not get to see your kids grow up.
• Marital problems; divorce.
• You will miss out on life.
•Use the “work ‘til you drop” retirement plan.
•Or you will quit if you’ve made enough and either retire
or do something else.
Doctors quitting medicine
• Suicide* (2004):
– 1.41 X for male physicians vs. general pop.
• "Half of primary care physicians in survey
would leave medicine ... if they had an
alternative." -- CNN, November 2008
* Schernhammer ES, Coldit GZ. Am J Psychiatry. 2004 Dec; 161 (12):2295-302.

Doctor’s Decision to Quit”*
• “It may be dramatic
and self-serving to
frame my career
change as a way to
avoid suicide, but I
can attest that

REASON: “EHR” requirements. “Would
cost too much in his small medical practice.”
“But I’m not a doctor; I’m not going to
have those problems.”
• Dentists, optometrists, DC’s – mixed fee for
service model (at present) and insurance.
• EVERYONE will be having higher deductibles
(and be cash strapped).
– Manifestations: deferred maintenance (Mercedes)
• If hospitals, or clinics close, service providers
connected with it will lose their jobs.

What causes oxidative stress?
• Environmental Toxins
– Heavy metals – including Mercury (fillings!)
– Pesticides/herbicides
– Preservatives
– PCB’s, Dioxins, Phthalates
• Toxins produced in the body
– Yeast and bacteria
– Products of cellular metabolism
• Emotional Stress
– Anxiety/Tension
– Fear
– Anger
Oxidative stress in the BRAIN
Why is the brain so
susceptible to oxidative stress?
• Burns glucose – generates free radicals.
• Uses 20% of total oxygen and energy consumed
by the body.
• ½ of this is for electrochemical nerve
transmission.
• Contains IRON
• Contains essential fatty acids, which can be
OXIDIZED (“rancid fat”)
• Limited supply of own antioxidants
• Limited ability to regenerate/repair damage
What are some consequences of
oxidative stress?
• Impaired cognitive function
• Decreased memory
• Depressed immune system
• Increased inflammation
• DNA damage
• cancer
• Behavioral deterioration

• P 4 Further discussion of prostate CA
Carotenoid correlation with other

Relationships of carotenoids to other more
conventionally measured antioxidants (p 6 -7)
• Svilaas et al (2004):
– 2, 670 adults studied with serum carotenoids
measured and correlated with vitamin
consumption
– serum carotenoids were stronger predictors of
other antioxidants than were alpha, beta, delta,
and gamma tocopherols, as well as
glutathione.*
* Svilaas A, et al. Intakes of antioxidants in coffee, wine, and
vegetables are correlated with plasma carotenoids in humans. J
Nutr. 2004 Mar;134(3):562-7.
Convenience of carotenoids as antioxidant
measurement (pp 7-11)
• Hata, et al (2000) – correlated skin
carotenoids (Raman) with carotenoid levels
from skin from abdominoplasty patients
(HPLC).
– “Our technique can be used…for assessing
antioxidant status and the risk for diseases
related to oxidative stress.”

**Hata et al. Non-invasive Raman spectroscopic detection of carotenoids in human
skin. J Invest Dermatol. 2000 Sep; 115(3):441-8.
The Svilaas/Hata Syllogism:
• Hata (2000) – Raman measurements of
carotenoid == HPLC skin measurements of
carotenoids
• Svilaas (2004) – serum carotenoids =
better predictor of antioxidant status than
mixed tocopherols and glutathione
• THEREFORE [Cady]: Raman spectroscopy
is a better measure of antioxidant status
than mixed tocopherols and glutathione.

BTW – what does that “SCS” actually
mean in REAL LAB MEASUREMENTS?
• Y = 12703 * X + 5891.7
– Where Y is the SCS, and X is the carotenoid
concentration in MICROgrams/ml, viz:
• 25,000 = 12703X + 5891.7
• 25,000 – 5891.7 = 12703 * X
• 19,108.3 = 12703 * X
• 19,108.3 /12703 = X
• X = 1.50 MICROgrams /ml
• Rule of thumb: 1,000 on SCS = .06 ug
carotenoid/ml blood serum
• (e.g., SCS of 71,000 = 4.26 ug carotenoid/ml)

What’s New since the “cady
report” (2006 & 2008)?
Lipid peroxidation, antioxidant status
& survival in institutionalized elderly
• Plasma MDA
predicted mortality
independently of all
other variables.
• B-carotene and
alpha tocopherol
were independently
associated with
survival. Huerta JM et al. Free Radical Research

“RS accurately measures total carotenoids in human skin
with less intra-individual variability than measurement of
serum carotenoids by HPLC analysis. RS technology
is a valid and reliable noninvasive method
to rapidly assess carotenoid nutritional
status in humans.” (J Am. Coll Nutr 2009)
Epidemiology of Vascular Aging (EVA)
• Study population:
– N=1,389; age range {59-71 yoa}
– 9 year study
• Relative risks:
– all cause mortality at 2.94X in men in lowest
quintile (95% CI, P=0.03)
– cancer 1.72X in men (95% CI, P=0.01
• “Total plasma carotenoids levels
were independently associated
with mortality risk in men.”

Vitamin/mineral supplementation & cancer,
cardiovascular, and all-cause mortality
(EPIC-Heidelberg) Li K, Kaaks R., et al. Eur J Nutri July 2011
• Purpose: evaluate vitamin/mineral
supplementation with CA, CV dz, and mortality
• Methods:
– 23,943 healthy participants, followed x 11 years
– Baseline and “new-use” supplementation noted
• Results: 513 CA deaths, 264 CV deaths
– “No MVI supplement had any significant effect”
– Baseline users of antioxidant supplements
had significantly reduced risk of cancer [HR
0.52] and all cause mortality [0.58]
• “sick user” phenomenon discussed.
Antioxidants and brain tumors?
• “free radicals are another etiological factor
of brain tumor and are removed by cellular
antioxidants in the human body.”
• Inverse correlation between:
– antioxidant levels and oxidative DNA damage
– Grades of malignancy
• Decrease in antioxidants are associated
with severity of malignancy
Conclusions
• “It is concluded that
administration of antioxidants
could reduce the incidence of
brain tumors and probably other
types of cancer.”
• - Shewelta SA , Sheikh, BY Curr Drug Metab. 2011
Jul;12(6):587-93. (Dept.of Biosciences & Technology,
Alexandria University, Egypt.)
The GREAT news about a BAD study
Conclusions: “In older women, several
commonly used dietary vitamin and mineral
supplements may be associated with
increased total mortality risk; this association
is strongest with supplemental iron.”
Not so fast!
• 18 year duration; 38,000 “older” white
women in Iowa
• Supplements: MVI’s, A, D, E, Beta-
carotene, B –vitamins, iron, calcium,
copper, magnesium selenium, and zinc.
• The real results:
– Early results showed women who used C, D,
E, and Calcium had significantly lower rates
of death
– Iron supplementation was highly correlated to
death rates (but these results were mixed in)
A real hatchet job on MVI’s
• Study measured “who dies over 18 years?”
– Average age at start – 61 yoa
– Average age at end of study 82 yoa
– Average mortality for all women – 80 yoa in
2003 (during the study)
• Conclusion: Over 50% of the women in the
Iowa study lived longer than the average life
expectancy.

older women…. Arch Intern Med 2011 Oct 10;171(18):1625-33.
More hatcheting – poor controls
• Hormones (Premarin/provera)
– 13.5% of supplement users
– 7.2% of non-supplement users
• No explanation as to why so many women
were taking iron.
• Excess levels of vitamin A in some MVI
brands
• No evaluation of the quality or potency of
the supplements

Fast food (low Zn) is bad for you.
• Fast food = high energy density = low essential
micronutrient density, ESPECIALLY ZINC
• Antioxidant processes are dependent on Zinc
• Fast food = severe decrease in antioxidant
vitamins and zinc, correlating with
inflammation in testicular tissue – with
underdevelopment of testicular tissue and
decreased testosterone levels
Special needs - Zinc
• Low Zinc- associated with low testosterone
– Per USDA, 60% of US men between 20 – 49
years of age do not get enough.
– N.B.: Do not supplement with > 50 mg daily
(can interfere with Cu+ metabolism)

What about you? You’ve only got one body.
• “Errors in judgement” - High glycemic eating,
no exercise, poor nutrition, lousy or no
supplementation, high stress lifestyle.
- “Good disciplines” – appropriate diet,
supplementation, exercise, hormones. Stress
management. Decent lifestyle.
“For me, the practice of medicine has
opened the door to the greatest adventure in
life. Medicine is like a hallway lined with
doors, each door opening into a different
room, and each room opening
into another hallway,
again lined with doors.
Medicine is always
wonderful and never will
be finished.”

Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

  • 1. Louis B. Cady, MD – CEO & Founder – Cady Wellness InstituteLouis B. Cady, MD – CEO & Founder – Cady Wellness Institute Adjunct Clinical Lecturer – University of Southern Indiana Adjunct Clinical Lecturer – Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry Child, Adolescent, Adult & Forensic Psychiatry – Evansville, Indiana The Gathering Storm, The Breaking Dawn II: New Challenges & Opportunity for the Health of America
  • 2. H - 2 “There are two objects of medical education: to heal the sick and to advance the science.” - Dr. Charles H. Mayo, MD “The glory of medicine is that it is always moving forward, that there is always more to learn.” - Dr. William J. Mayo
  • 3. Disclaimer: Pharmanex supplementation and the BioPhotonic Scanner are not FDA approved for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or cure of ANY disease or “medical condition.” They ARE appropriate to support the structure and function of the human body.
  • 4. Learning objectives • Define a problem: American’s medical and financial health is declining. • MD’s and HCP’s are getting squeezed and are dropping out. • Answer the question of “but I just don’t GET it about those antioxidants.” • Answer the objections about the scanner “gizmo.” • Review the literature. Achieve state of the art, up to date knowledge. • Review some personal reflections.
  • 5. The health of society & the doctors to treat it • Doctors are going to get squeezed: more will quit, YOUR out of pocket costs are going up. • Americans will have less money to pay for bigger health care costs • Average people need to do something NOW to maintain health and minimize costs. And why we should all start paying attention to those “filthy rich doctors” and how they are getting paid.
  • 6. The Problems & The Solution The good ole days: •People had jobs •People had insurance •Insurance PAID. •Society was healthier. •Doctors were plentiful. •Your healthcare was essentially “free,” no matter how stupidly you behaved. Problems: •2001/2008 recessions •Outsourcing •More medical technology •More activism from groups such that “everything must be covered.” •2013-14: More government interference in free market The RESULTS: •Medical insurance costs more $$$. •Fewer doctors available. • Doctors are quitting. • Insurance companies/ government = defacto RATIONING. •Now, you “gonna have to PAY” for poor health habits, poor nutrition, obesity, smoking, etc.
  • 7. Everett Napier, an unemployed miner, said he pawned various items while he has been looking for work, including rifles, tools, jewelry and two guitars he used to play at church. 'I just swallowed my pride and quit playing. That's all you can do.' David Stephenson for The Wall Street Journal. November 26, 2013

  • 16. Look out Pharma reps!!
  • 17. Feb 6, 2014 - The “SGR” cut: 24 – 30% of Medicare fees - Has been “patched” 15 times since 2002 for c. $140 billion - Additional source: McDonough J.E. “Health Stew” column 12/22/2013 http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/health/health_stew/2013/12/advice_to_congress_pass_sgr_ accessed 2/7/2014
  • 18. Business 101 – 3 doctor internal medicine clinic INCOME NET Revenue: $1.5 million EXPENSES: Overhead* : $1 million [support staff salaries, rent, depreciation, malpractice insurance, license fees, “MOC” fees, equipment costs, consumables, cleaning, office supplies, facilities insurance, Workman’s comp, retirement plans for staff and docs, CME, vacation pay, sick pay, insurance plans for staff and docs] Salaries – 3 docs: $500K Total expenses: $1.5 million Income less expenses = ZERO. This balances.
  • 19. Business 101 – 3 doctor internal medicine clinic INCOME (prev) Revenue: $1.5 million Less 24% cut: - $360,000 Total income now:$1,140,000 EXPENSES: Overhead* : $1 million [support staff salaries, rent, depreciation, malpractice insurance, license fees, “MOC” fees, equipment costs, consumables, cleaning, office supplies, facilities insurance, Workman’s comp, retirement plans for staff and docs, CME, vacation pay, sick pay, insurance plans for staff and docs] (What’s left over for salaries: $140,000) Total expenses: $1.14 million Income less expenses = ZERO. This balances. Salaries – for 3 docs = 46,667 per doc
  • 20. Instant replay • 24% cut to gross receipts • 72% cut to doc salaries (from $166,667 down to $46,667 – Working 50 – 60 hours per week – Hassled by paperwork, Medicare reviewers, prior authorizations, constant threat of malpractice lawsuits, continued baseline 2% inflation per year and no way to make it up. • WHAT WOULD YOU DO???
  • 21. Business 101 – 3 doctor internal medicine clinic – what does this REALLY MEAN? As your fees stagnate or are cut, and as your overhead continues to rise, you will: •Pinch pennies on overhead, do 5-7 minutes per patient and try to be cheap. (Unsuccessful). •Work harder and longer hours to keep pace and feed your family (and burn yourself out)… • …And not get to see your kids grow up. • Marital problems; divorce. • You will miss out on life. •Use the “work ‘til you drop” retirement plan. •Or you will quit if you’ve made enough and either retire or do something else.
  • 22. Doctors quitting medicine • Suicide* (2004): – 1.41 X for male physicians vs. general pop. • "Half of primary care physicians in survey would leave medicine ... if they had an alternative." -- CNN, November 2008 * Schernhammer ES, Coldit GZ. Am J Psychiatry. 2004 Dec; 161 (12):2295-302.
  • 23.
  • 24. “Why I Left Medicine: A Burnt-Out Doctor’s Decision to Quit”* • “It may be dramatic and self-serving to frame my career change as a way to avoid suicide, but I can attest that medicine was not conducive to my health.” http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2013/10/why-i-left-medicine-a-burnt-out date 10/18/2013 – accessed 01/07/2014
  • 25. REASON: “EHR” requirements. “Would cost too much in his small medical practice.”
  • 26. “But I’m not a doctor; I’m not going to have those problems.” • Dentists, optometrists, DC’s – mixed fee for service model (at present) and insurance. • EVERYONE will be having higher deductibles (and be cash strapped). – Manifestations: deferred maintenance (Mercedes) • If hospitals, or clinics close, service providers connected with it will lose their jobs. • If you are a cosmetologist or server – declining business, declining tips

  • 35. What causes oxidative stress? • Environmental Toxins – Heavy metals – including Mercury (fillings!) – Pesticides/herbicides – Preservatives – PCB’s, Dioxins, Phthalates • Toxins produced in the body – Yeast and bacteria – Products of cellular metabolism • Emotional Stress – Anxiety/Tension – Fear – Anger
  • 36.
  • 37. Oxidative stress in the BRAIN
  • 38. Why is the brain so susceptible to oxidative stress? • Burns glucose – generates free radicals. • Uses 20% of total oxygen and energy consumed by the body. • ½ of this is for electrochemical nerve transmission. • Contains IRON • Contains essential fatty acids, which can be OXIDIZED (“rancid fat”) • Limited supply of own antioxidants • Limited ability to regenerate/repair damage
  • 39. What are some consequences of oxidative stress? • Impaired cognitive function • Decreased memory • Depressed immune system • Increased inflammation • DNA damage • cancer • Behavioral deterioration

  • 43. “A method and apparatus are provided for the determination of levels of carotenoids and similar chemical compounds in biological tissue such as living skin.”
  • 44. “But is the scanner really valid and dependable?”
  • 45. Scientific Validation: Peer-reviewed by the medical & research communities • Society of Investigative Dermatology, May 25, 2000. – Non-Invasive Raman Spectroscopic Detection of Carotenoids in Human Skin. • Arch Biochem Biophys. 2010 Dec 1;504(1):40-9. Epub 2010 Aug 1. – Validation model for Raman based skin carotenoid detection • J Eur Acad Dermatol Ven. 2011 Aug;25(8):945-9. – Skin carotenoid levels in adult patients with psoriasis.
  • 46. • “The totality of the evidence supports the use of skin carotenoid status as an objective biomarker of fruits/vegetable intake…” • “..skin carotenoids may effectively serve as an integrated biomarker of health…” • “The totality of the evidence supports the use of skin carotenoid status as an objective biomarker of fruits/vegetable intake…” • “..skin carotenoids may effectively serve as an integrated biomarker of health…” • “Thus, this biomarker holds promise as both a health biomarker and an objective indicator of fruits & vegetables intake….” • “Thus, this biomarker holds promise as both a health biomarker and an objective indicator of fruits & vegetables intake….”
  • 47. Where to read more…
  • 48.
  • 49. “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the “Cady White Paper” • Pp 1-3 Patent claim synthesis: assessing the overall antioxidant status in human tissue via Raman spectroscopy via measuring carotenoids – Carotenoids are antioxidants • Identified in 1992 • Potent antioxidants • Lycopenes and carotenoids appear to diminish risk of prostate CA. • P 4 Further discussion of prostate CA
  • 50. Carotenoid correlation with other antioxidants (pp 4-6) • Cited: carotenoids as chemopreventive agents* • Carotenoids as first line of defense, associated with “antioxidant network” – with Vitamins C, E, Coenzyme Q10, ALA, and SE. ** • Yeum et al: need to measure water AND fat soluble vitamins identified.*** *Peng YM et al. Concentrations and plasma-tissue-diet relationships of carotenoids, retinoids, and tocopherols in humans. Nutr Cancer. 1995;23(3):233-46. ** Packet, Lester. The Antioxidant Miracle. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Š 1999 ***Yeum et al. Biomarkers of antioxidant capacity in the hydrophilic and lipophilic compartments of human plasma. Arch Biochem Biophys. 2004 Oct 1; 430(1):97-103.
  • 51. Relationships of carotenoids to other more conventionally measured antioxidants (p 6 -7) • Svilaas et al (2004): – 2, 670 adults studied with serum carotenoids measured and correlated with vitamin consumption – serum carotenoids were stronger predictors of other antioxidants than were alpha, beta, delta, and gamma tocopherols, as well as glutathione.* * Svilaas A, et al. Intakes of antioxidants in coffee, wine, and vegetables are correlated with plasma carotenoids in humans. J Nutr. 2004 Mar;134(3):562-7.
  • 52. Convenience of carotenoids as antioxidant measurement (pp 7-11) • Hata, et al (2000) – correlated skin carotenoids (Raman) with carotenoid levels from skin from abdominoplasty patients (HPLC). – “Our technique can be used…for assessing antioxidant status and the risk for diseases related to oxidative stress.” *Bernstein P et al. Raman detection of macular carotenoids pigments in intact human retina. Invest Opthalmol Vis Sc. 1998 Oct;39(11):2003-11. **Hata et al. Non-invasive Raman spectroscopic detection of carotenoids in human skin. J Invest Dermatol. 2000 Sep; 115(3):441-8.
  • 53. The Svilaas/Hata Syllogism: • Hata (2000) – Raman measurements of carotenoid == HPLC skin measurements of carotenoids • Svilaas (2004) – serum carotenoids = better predictor of antioxidant status than mixed tocopherols and glutathione • THEREFORE [Cady]: Raman spectroscopy is a better measure of antioxidant status than mixed tocopherols and glutathione.
  • 54. Dissolved carotenoids in stratum corneum 27 days
  • 55. BTW – what does that “SCS” actually mean in REAL LAB MEASUREMENTS? • Y = 12703 * X + 5891.7 – Where Y is the SCS, and X is the carotenoid concentration in MICROgrams/ml, viz: • 25,000 = 12703X + 5891.7 • 25,000 – 5891.7 = 12703 * X • 19,108.3 = 12703 * X • 19,108.3 /12703 = X • X = 1.50 MICROgrams /ml • Rule of thumb: 1,000 on SCS = .06 ug carotenoid/ml blood serum • (e.g., SCS of 71,000 = 4.26 ug carotenoid/ml) Source: NuSkin/Pharmanex
  • 56. “RSS spectroscopy is a reliable method for non-invasive measurement of B-carotene levels in skin, and may be used as an important biomarker of antioxidant status in nutritional and health studies in humans.” Ramirez-Velez, et al. Endocrinol Nutr. 2012 April
  • 57. How are we doing? 2006 Data Histogram: N =2,591,667 Mean SCS = 26,673 Skin Carotenoid Score Frequency 5-9 Fruits & Vegetables Smokers Average (2-3 Fruits & Vegetables) Obesity LifePak LifePak + 5-9 Fruits & Vegetables Source: data reported by Pharmanex
  • 58. 16,103 people – 1994 – 1996. ZERO got 100% of all required vitamins and nutrients - Highest – B12 =- 82.8% got enough - 66.8% - had adequate folate - Lowest – Zinc – only 26.6% got enough.
  • 59. What’s New since the “cady report” (2006 & 2008)?
  • 60. Lipid peroxidation, antioxidant status & survival in institutionalized elderly • Plasma MDA predicted mortality independently of all other variables. • B-carotene and alpha tocopherol were independently associated with survival. Huerta JM et al. Free Radical Research 2006, vol 40, no 6. pp 571-578.
  • 61. Angela Mastaloudis Ph.D. Senior Scientist, Global Research & Development, Pharmanex
  • 62. “RS accurately measures total carotenoids in human skin with less intra-individual variability than measurement of serum carotenoids by HPLC analysis. RS technology is a valid and reliable noninvasive method to rapidly assess carotenoid nutritional status in humans.” (J Am. Coll Nutr 2009)
  • 64. • Study population: – N=1,389; age range {59-71 yoa} – 9 year study • Relative risks: – all cause mortality at 2.94X in men in lowest quintile (95% CI, P=0.03) – cancer 1.72X in men (95% CI, P=0.01 • “Total plasma carotenoids levels were independently associated with mortality risk in men.” Epidemiology of Vascular Aging (EVA)
  • 65. Vitamin/mineral supplementation & cancer, cardiovascular, and all-cause mortality (EPIC-Heidelberg) Li K, Kaaks R., et al. Eur J Nutri July 2011 • Purpose: evaluate vitamin/mineral supplementation with CA, CV dz, and mortality • Methods: – 23,943 healthy participants, followed x 11 years – Baseline and “new-use” supplementation noted • Results: 513 CA deaths, 264 CV deaths – “No MVI supplement had any significant effect” – Baseline users of antioxidant supplements had significantly reduced risk of cancer [HR 0.52] and all cause mortality [0.58] • “sick user” phenomenon discussed.
  • 66. Antioxidants and brain tumors? • “free radicals are another etiological factor of brain tumor and are removed by cellular antioxidants in the human body.” • Inverse correlation between: – antioxidant levels and oxidative DNA damage – Grades of malignancy • Decrease in antioxidants are associated with severity of malignancy
  • 67. Conclusions • “It is concluded that administration of antioxidants could reduce the incidence of brain tumors and probably other types of cancer.” • - Shewelta SA , Sheikh, BY Curr Drug Metab. 2011 Jul;12(6):587-93. (Dept.of Biosciences & Technology, Alexandria University, Egypt.)
  • 68. The GREAT news about a BAD study Conclusions: “In older women, several commonly used dietary vitamin and mineral supplements may be associated with increased total mortality risk; this association is strongest with supplemental iron.”
  • 69. Not so fast! • 18 year duration; 38,000 “older” white women in Iowa • Supplements: MVI’s, A, D, E, Beta- carotene, B –vitamins, iron, calcium, copper, magnesium selenium, and zinc. • The real results: – Early results showed women who used C, D, E, and Calcium had significantly lower rates of death – Iron supplementation was highly correlated to death rates (but these results were mixed in)
  • 70. A real hatchet job on MVI’s • Study measured “who dies over 18 years?” – Average age at start – 61 yoa – Average age at end of study 82 yoa – Average mortality for all women – 80 yoa in 2003 (during the study) • Conclusion: Over 50% of the women in the Iowa study lived longer than the average life expectancy. Mursu, Harnack et al – Dietary supplements and mortality rate in older women…. Arch Intern Med 2011 Oct 10;171(18):1625-33.
  • 71. More hatcheting – poor controls • Hormones (Premarin/provera) – 13.5% of supplement users – 7.2% of non-supplement users • No explanation as to why so many women were taking iron. • Excess levels of vitamin A in some MVI brands • No evaluation of the quality or potency of the supplements Mursu, Harnack et al – Dietary supplements and mortality rate in older women…. Arch Intern Med 2011 Oct 10;171(18):1625-33. Nearly 2X as many!!
  • 72. “Pending strong evidence …from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.” Fletcher & Fairfield, JAMA 2002
  • 73. 44 million inpatients, 460 sites, 2000-2010 = 20% of all US inpatient episodes (1.6% were on ONS during the inpatient episode.) 44 million inpatients, 460 sites, 2000-2010 = 20% of all US inpatient episodes (1.6% were on ONS during the inpatient episode.) >/= 18 years. No terminal patients, tube feedings.>/= 18 years. No terminal patients, tube feedings. RESULTS for “ONS”: •2.3 day shorter length of stay •Decreased cost of $4,734 / episode •2.3% reduced probability of early readmission. RESULTS for “ONS”: •2.3 day shorter length of stay •Decreased cost of $4,734 / episode •2.3% reduced probability of early readmission. CONCLUSIONS: “Use of ONS decreases length of stay, episode cost, and 30 day readmission risk in the inpatient population.” CONCLUSIONS: “Use of ONS decreases length of stay, episode cost, and 30 day readmission risk in the inpatient population.” Tomas J, et al. Am J Manag Care. 2013;19(2):121-
  • 74. So why do you need a SYSTEM in your vitamin supplement/mineral complex?? And what’s a ‘nano’?
  • 75. What does “Nano” mean? • Cylcodextrin ring – benign, digestable • Feeds the gut microflora
  • 76. How do nano-nutrients work? Nano-encapsulated nutrients do not clump; they DISPERSE. Fat-soluble nutrients like carotenoids and coenzyme Q10 CLUMP in watery milieu.
  • 77. The Nanotechnology Differencepmol/mgprotein Îł-cyclodextrin complex 5-fold increase in absorption! Adapted from Craft et al, FASEB Journal. 2005; 19(4): Abstract #281.6, A449.
  • 78. The train has left the station…

Editor's Notes

  1. Speaker note – transition– of tale of three women.
  2. FROM WIKIPEDIA - Epidermis Epidermis, "epi" coming from the Greek meaning "over" or "upon", is the outermost layer of the skin. It forms the waterproof, protective wrap over the body's surface and is made up of stratified squamous epithelium with an underlying basal lamina. The epidermis contains no blood vessels, and cells in the deepest layers are nourished by diffusion from blood capillaries extending to the upper layers of the dermis. The main type of cells which make up the epidermis are Merkel cells, keratinocytes, with melanocytes and Langerhans cells also present. The epidermis can be further subdivided into the following strata (beginning with the outermost layer): corneum, lucidum (only in palms of hands and bottoms of feet), granulosum, spinosum, basale. Cells are formed through mitosis at the basale layer. The daughter cells (see cell division) move up the strata changing shape and composition as they die due to isolation from their blood source. The cytoplasm is released and the protein keratin is inserted. They eventually reach the corneum and slough off (desquamation). This process is called keratinization and takes place within about 27 days. This keratinized layer of skin is responsible for keeping water in the body and keeping other harmful chemicals and pathogens out, making skin a natural barrier to infection. From WIKIpedia
  3. Based on clinical studies with the biophotonic scanner, we have identified a number of factors that may influence your score. The average skin carotenoid score for Europeans is 26,673, those who eat the recommended 5-9 fruits and vegetables or take lifepak regularly have even higher scores. What is really exciting is that people with the best lifestyles - eat the recommended 5-9 fruits and vegetables, take LifePak regularly, avoid cigarettes, and so on, have the very highest scores, in the 40,000 range. Therefore, the effects of a good lifestyle are cumulative when it comes to Antioxidant protection. The other point I would like to make is that people with known oxidative stress such as smokers, have lower scanner scores, just as we would predict, but people who are overweight or obese tend to have even lower scores than smokers! Thus it appears that obesity depletes antioxidant levels even more than smoking.
  4. METHODS: In the Heidelberg cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-Heidelberg), which was recruited in 1994-1998, 23,943 participants without pre-existing cancer and myocardial infarction/stroke at baseline were included in the analyses. Vitamin/mineral supplementation was assessed at baseline and during follow-up. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS: After an average follow-up time of 11 years, 1,101 deaths were documented (cancer deaths = 513 and cardiovascular deaths = 264). After adjustment for potential confounders, neither any vitamin/mineral supplementation nor multivitamin supplementation at baseline was statistically significantly associated with cancer, cardiovascular, or all-cause mortality. However, baseline users of antioxidant vitamin supplements had a significantly reduced risk of cancer mortality (HR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.28, 0.97) and all-cause mortality (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.38, 0.88). In comparison with never users, baseline non-users who started taking vitamin/mineral supplements during follow-up had significantly increased risks of cancer mortality (HR: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.09, 2.77) and all-cause mortality (HR: 1.58; 95% CI: 1.17, 2.14). CONCLUSIONS: Based on limited numbers of users and cases, this cohort study suggests that supplementation of antioxidant vitamins might possibly reduce cancer and all-cause mortality. The significantly increased risks of cancer and all-cause mortality among baseline non-users who started taking supplements during follow-up may suggest a "sick-user effect," which researchers should be cautious of in future observational studies.
  5. One study of Swedish women found that vitamin A intake was negatively associated with bone mineral density, and for every one mg increase in daily vitamin A consumption, risk of hip fracture increased by 68 percent. This is because vitamin A is known to counteract the ability of vitamin D and calcium to build bone density, and excess vitamin A leads to bone loss. Supplement quality can be compromised at many stages of the production process and the most common problems are contamination and low potency. When companies want to cut cost they use cheaper raw materials, which result in a lower quality product. For example, in the case of magnesium, magnesium oxide is a cheap, small molecule that isn’t absorbed well by the body, whereas magnesium glycinate and citrate are large molecules that are harder to package but much more easily absorbed. This type of magnesium is effective at raising blood serum levels, but it is also more pricey to produce. Low quality supplements like magnesium oxide aren’t absorbed by the body. Rather, they pass right through and can cause negative side effects—magnesium oxide can have a laxative effect.
