“As targeting diseases has
helped people live longer, they
are spending more years being
sick with multiple disorders
related to aging, and that’s
expensive.”

Economic incentives in biomedical research and health
care reward treating diseases more than promoting good
health…
The combination of an aging population with an increased
burden of chronic diseases and the epidemic of obesity and
type 2 diabetes could soon make healthy care unaffordable
for all but the richest people…

‘Finding a way to slow the
biological processes of aging
will do more to extend the
period of healthy life in
humans than attacking
individual diseases alone’

Top scientists at USC, Harvard
University, Columbia University, the
University of Illinois at Chicago and
other institutions revealed that-
delay aging and the infirmities of
old age would have better
population health and economic
returns than advances in
individual fatal diseases such as
cancer or heart disease.

…In addition to promoting a healthy diet and
regular exercise, these strategies include slowing
the metabolic and molecular causes of human
aging, such as the incremental accumulation of
cellular damage that occurs over time….

A true solution
is not palliation
but
regeneration

The secret to success is
the unceasing nurturing of
the body and soul with the
right diet, herbs, and the
four doctors mentioned
earlier, along with
emotional and spiritual
well-being – i.e. the Seven

“A review of 77 systematic reviews published
between 2001 and 2003 suggested that there is now
evidence of the benefits of naturopathy and
Western herbal medicine for almost every body
system and all major illnesses. It can be concluded
that the ‘tools of the trade’ of naturopathy and
Western herbal medicine can be effective and that
the practice of naturopathy and Western herbal
medicine is therefore potentially effective” ((Lin et
al., 2006, p.5).

‘Spelt is the best grain, warming, lubricating and of
high nutritional value. It is better tolerated by the
body than any other grains. Spelt provides its
consumer with good flesh and good blood and
confers a cheerful disposition. It provides a happy
mind and a joyful spirit. No matter how you eat
spelt, either as bread or in other foods, it is good
and easy to digest’
Saint Hildegard of Bingen, (1098-1179)

Amala extract improves endothelial function in patients

Amala extract may be a good
therapeutic alternative to statins in
diabetic patients with endothelial
dysfunction because it has the
beneficial effects of statins but without
the well known adverse effects of these
agents.
