A Review of the Cady White Paper, the Biophotonic Scanner, Supplementation and New Developments in Genomic Science
1. A Review of the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner,
Supplements, the “Cady White Paper,” & Relevant
Genomic Science in New AgeLOC Products
Santa Ana, California – November 9, 2013
Louis B. Cady, MD – CEO & Founder – Cady Wellness Institute
Adjunct Professor – University of Southern Indiana
Adjunct Clinical Lecturer – Indiana University School of Medicine
Department of Psychiatry
Child, Adolescent, Adult & Forensic Psychiatry – Evansville, Indiana
2. Background for this presentation:
• There are no “drug claims” made for any
products from NuSkin/Pharmanex
• No NuSkin/Pharmanex product– nor any
other “OTC” vitamin or supplement – is
designed to treat, prevent, mitigate, diagnose
or do anything else to or for any disease.
• Pharmanex nutritional supplements & weight
control products are designed to support
the structure and function of the human
body.

3. CURRENT PRACTICE OF MEDICINE:
What a patient had to say about her “specialists”:
“They just monitor my
degeneration.”
4.
5. Cady Wellness Institute – July 2005
The Reasons:
•
•
•
•
Conventional medical practice had failed me twice.
A lot of “psychiatric cases” WEREN’T “psychiatric.”
Nobody was integrated.
Nobody was looking at ALL of the peer-reviewed
literature.
9. Learning objectives
• Importance of antioxidants (with refs)
• Origins and validity of the Biophotonic
Scanner
• The critical “three points” of the “Cady White
Paper”
• AgeLOC technology and “YGC’s” (??)
• Vitality and TR90
10. “Streaking”, or…..
Better Buckle Up!!!
• Definition: Streaking is the act of taking off
one's clothes and running naked through a
public place. [ref:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaking - accessed 09
02 2013]
• “In 1973, what the press called a ‘streaking
epidemic’ hit Stephen F. Austin State University in
Nacogdoches, TX, with streakers being seen in
residence halls, at football games and at various
other on-campus locations and events, including
Spring graduation.”
(Harvard-Yale game, 2006)
24. 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
26. 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
27. •
•
•
•
What are some consequences of
oxidative stress?
Behavioral deterioration
Impaired cognitive function
Decreased memory
Psychiatric symptoms
• Increased inflammation
• Depressed immune system
• DNA damage
• cancer

• Colleague – Igor Ermakov, Ph.D., et al.
• Technologies – “Novel Raman Spectroscopy
and Raman Imaging.”

30. “A method and apparatus are provided
for the determination of levels of
carotenoids and similar chemical
compounds in biological tissue such
as living skin.”
33. 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.
34. “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
35. “But is the scanner really valid and
dependable?”
36. • “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….”
37. Scamo S et al. Br J Nutr. 2013
Sep 14;110(5):911-7.
• Good agreement between single and multiple measures (95% CI)
• + association with intake of total carotenoids
• “A single RRS measure was reasonably accurate at classifying
usual skin carotenoid state.”
38. So where do I find this
“white paper”?
• www.google.com
• www.cadywellness.com/
cadywhitepaper2008.pdf
39.
40. 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.
41. Convenience of carotenoids as antioxidant
measurement (pp7-11)
• 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.” [Palm of skin = highest carotenoid location]
*Hata et al. Non-invasive Raman spectroscopic detection of carotenoids in human
skin. J Invest Dermatol. 2000 Sep; 115(3):441-8.
42. The Svilaas/Hata Syllogism:
• Hata (2000) – Raman measurements of
carotenoid == HPLC skin measurements
• Svilaas (2004) – skin 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.
43. 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 40,000 = 2.4 ug carotenoid/ml)
Source: NuSkin/Pharmanex
44. “You don’t need vitamins: (a) you can get’em in
your food; (b)they just make expensive urine.”
“I don’t believe in antioxidants.” – from an MD!!
45. “Inadequate intakes may result in chronic
metabolic disruption, including mitochondrial
decay.”
“[They] cause DNA damage, such as chromosome
breaks, in cultured human cells or in vivo.”
“triage theory
46. 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.
47. Seismic shift in the
medical literature - 2002
“Pending strong evidence …from randomized trials, it
appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin
supplements.” Fletcher & Fairfield, JAMA 2002
50. “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)
52. 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.”
53. 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 11 years
– Baseline and “new-use” supplementation noted
•
Results: 513 CA deaths, 264 CV deaths
– “No MVI supplement had any significant effect”
• “sick user” phenomenon discussed.
• Baseline users of antioxidant
supplements had significantly
reduced risk of cancer [HR 0.52] and
all cause mortality [0.58]
54. 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
55. 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.)
56. So why do you need a
SYSTEM in your vitamin
supplement/mineral
complex?? And what’s a
‘nano’?

58. What does “Nano” mean?
• Cylcodextrin ring – benign, digestable
• Feeds the gut microflora
59. How do nano-nutrients work?
Fat-soluble nutrients like
Nano-encapsulated nutrients do
carotenoids and coenzyme Q10 not clump; they DISPERSE.
CLUMP in watery milieu.
60. The Nanotechnology Difference
pmol/mg protein
5-fold increase in absorption!
Adapted from Craft et al, FASEB Journal. 2005; 19(4): Abstract #281.6, A449.
γ-cyclodextrin
complex
70. Why there is an epidemic of B12
deficiency??
• Gastric intrinsic factor produced by parietal
cells of stomach;. H1 blockers shut them down
• Can’t absorb B-12 without it.
• Complex goes to last portion of small intestine,
where complex is absorbed and B12 liberated.
71. Your brain and B12
• If you are in the bottom 1/3rd for B-12
levels….
• SIX TIMES increase risk of
brain volume loss (Odds ratio =
6.17, 95% CI)
– Vogiatzoglou A et al. Vitamin B12 status and
rate of brain volume loss in community-dwellers.
Neurology. 2008 Sep 9;71(11):826-32.
– (107 volunteers aged 61-87 years of age)
72. BRAIN SHRINKAGE…
CONCLUSIONS: “The
accelerated rate of brain
atrophy in elderly with MCI can
be slowed by treatment with
homocysteine-lowering Bvitamins.”
Smith AD, Smith SM, de Jager CA, Whitbread P, et al. (2010) Homocysteine-Lowering by B Vitamins Slows the
Rate of Accelerated Brain Atrophy in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Controlled Trial. PLoS ONE
5(9): e12244. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0012244
http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0012244
74. OK. It slows shrinkage. But are they sharper?
[deJager CA et al. Int J Geriatr Psychiatry. 2012 June;27(6):592-600]
“B-vitamins appear to slow cognitive and clinical
decline in people with MCI.”
75. The Effects of high dose B vitamins
on stress at work
• 3 month, double blind, placebo control, randomized study
– Measured: Personality, work demands, mood, anxiety, and strain
• The vitamin B complex treated
group reported significantly lower
personal strain and a reduction in
confusion and depressed/dejected
mood after 12 weeks.

10.1002/hup.1229 (Swinburne University of Technology – Hawthorn, Victoria,
Australia.)
76. “Micronutrient supplementation has a beneficial
effect on perceived stress, mild psychiatric
symptoms, and aspects of mood in apparently
healthy individuals. Supplements containing high
doses of B vitamins may be more effective in
improving mood states.”
77. What happens with biotin
deficiency?
Two LifePak Nano packets have
100% of recommended daily
requirements of Biotin.
“Our results suggest that biotin deficiency
promotes hyperglycemic mechanisms…and
decreased insulin secretion and sensitivity to
compensate for reduced blood glucose
concentrations.”
78. One more time… no supplement, under the DSHEA act, may
be represented to treat, cure, mitigate or prevent any disease.
No such “health claims” are being advanced for any
Pharmanex/NuSkin supplement or product. The following
slides represents a LITERATURE REVIEW It correlates
antioxidants, carotenoids and various conditions described in
the peer reviewed medical literature.

me worry?
88. 20 years ago - a hint of bad things to come…
• North Americans, unfortunately,
obtain about one-third of their total
calories from nutrient-poor junk food.
Even well-educated… adults…. fall
short in their consumption
of important minerals, like
magnesium, iron, zinc, and
calcium.
Hallfrishch, J., Muller, D. 1993. Experimental
Gerontology, v28 : 473-83.
89. Magnesium mementos
• One of the first minerals to disappear with:
– Processed food
– Stress
• Decreased by EtOH, caffeine, sodas,
meds
• Considered “anti-stress” mineral
– Decreases cortisol (rel to sleep disruption)
– Relaxes muscles, prevents cramps
– Decreases anxiety; improves sleep
90. Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency
PSYCHIATRIC ISSUES:
•Difficulty with memory and
concentration
•Depression, apathy
•Emotional lability
•Irritability, nervousness,
anxiety
•Insomnia
Autism
ADHD
Health Conditions Associated
with Magnesium Deficiency
Migraine headaches

94. Fast food (low
Zinc) 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
95. 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); rationale
for SYSTEMS approach]

97. Ways to improve erectile quality
(LP Nano concentrations in parentheses)
• Holistic: physical exercise, improved nutrition,
weight control (R90 & TR90)
• Supplements: adequate intake
– Omega 3 fatty acids ( ~4 grams/ day in LP Nano)
– Antioxidants {+++}
– Calcium (600 mg = 60%)
– Folic acid (folate – 600 ug = 150%)
• RX: Replacement of any T deficiency

99. LifeGen acquisition: Why?
• Owns all current and future genetic data
on aging
– monopolizes the genetic knowledge on aging
• Applies LifeGen science to all products
– Unrestricted access
• Builds barrier to entry
• Enhances Nu Skin product innovation in
antiaging (“Apple” of the industry)

Editor's Notes
Speaker note – transition– of tale of three women.
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
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.

From the study: We and others have previously hypothesized that defects in mitochondrial oxidative and phosphorylation capacity might be a contributing factor to the increased triglyceride content in muscle and the liver. To test this hypothesis, we assessed in vivo rates of mitochondrial oxidative activity in skeletal muscle by 13C NMR and phosphorylation activity by 31P NMR. Using this approach, we found that rates of mitochondrial oxidative and phosphorylation activity were both reduced by ~40% in the elderly participants as compared with the young controls.
This heatmap illustrates gene expression of three groups from a pre-clinical test with one of the ageLOC Vitality ingredients: young (column 1), old (column 2), and old with ageLOC science (column 3). Each row represents one of 52 genes comprising the mitochondrial Youth Gene Cluster (mtYGC). Columns 1 and 2 show that each of the 52 genes became more or less active during the aging process. In column 3, the YGC activity pattern of the old with ageLOC science group has been reset to a gene expression pattern similar to the young group in column 1.1
