THE SCIENCE OF DNA REPAIR
The Ultimate Key to Rejuvenating your Body and Face.
In the past 17 years we have accumulated more scientific biological information on aging than we’ve obtained over the past 2,000 years. What was once considered magic is now called quantum physics. What was considered alchemy and voodoo medicine has become molecular biology and botanical pharmacology.
This first decade of the twenty-first century is an exciting time. Scientists are adding understanding to our genetic blueprint and our brain on an almost daily basis. Our knowledge base of techniques to retard the aging process is doubling every two years .
“The purpose of life is to delay,
avoid and eventually reverse death.”
- Dave Kekich
Yes, aging is inevitable and natural. But remember this: Aging is deterioration of your body . And if you are living in a city in the twenty-first century… then your body is most likely in a state or accelerated deterioration. That means it is aging faster than it should be.
Cosmetic procedures that hide wrinkles aren't true “anti-aging”. Deterioration happens within your cells and within the DNA inside of your cells. Surgery and Botox® do not stop deterioration. They just hide the outside signs of it.
We have just begun to understand the critical impact of our environment – the air we breathe, the water we drink, what and how we eat. Our internal flora and fauna, our psychological makeup, and the social milieu in which we live and work. And how this impacts your health and longevity, and more specifically on your genes.
Most people around the world have a life span of sixty to seventy years. This is caused by genetic damage. And not necessarily by the genes we inherited from our parents. This accelerated aging is from the damage our genes receive in our lives. Damage caused by our environment and lifestyle choices.
You may assume that illness is inevitable as you grow older. It is not. You may believe that damage to your genes is unavoidable. It is not. Your body is built for self-repair, and it is not programmed to die.
Limiting damage and repairing your DNA will maximize your genetic potential.
To do this you must control the four main cellular processes that cause aging – glycation, inflammation, oxidation, and methylation. My controlling these 4 processes, you will break the aging code stored in your genes. The results of this will be avoiding disease, improved appearance in your skin and increased longevity. Let’s see how you can use this formula…
Glycation: Happens when extra glucose (sugar) molecules attach themselves to proteins. This alters the proteins’ structure and function, impairing their life supporting function.
Inflammation: Caused by too many hormone-like substances known as eicosanoids, and immune cells known as cytokines. Both of these increase in numbers with age. Eicosanoids and cytokines are great when they are in normal supply. But when they proliferate they cause all kinds of problems. Like osteoarthritis, heart disease, dementia and more.
Free Radicals and Oxidative Damage: Oxygen is vital to life, but it can easily become chemically altered when exposed to environmental factors. These factors include pollution, tobacco smoke, chemicals in food, water and body care products, and raditiation (as in sunlight). If oxidative damage is not successfully addressed it causes free radicals to form. Free radicals tear apart your system on a molecular level. It has been estimated that each of our cells undergoes 10,000 free-radical hits per day. If this damage is not addressed, it can lead to harming your DNA and your genetic heath. Resulting in serious and even devastating effects on our heath.
Methylation: Is basically your biological clock. It is a process that happens within each of your cells on a genetic level that makes sure your body is going through its various stages on schedule. Puberty and menopause are examples of proper methylation. However evidence from recent research is suggesting that brain aging and possibly even cancer and cardiac aging are partly caused by faulty methylation patterns.
All four of these processes create an intricate web of cause and effect. Each feeds and is fed by the other. These four factors are present in you right now. As a matter of fact they are present in even the healthiest of people.
What causes them to get out of control? Improper nutrition and excessive stress. Luckily the way you eat and handle stress is within your realm of control. So it’s in your power to minimize the damaging effects of these four processes. But you have to have the proper knowledge to do so…
There is an entire wing of study in Traditional Chinese Medicine called “Life Nourishing Principles”. It is a mandatory course that all doctors of traditional Chinese medicine must complete. This course is the exact science of anti-aging, longevity and whole body health. And our doctors learn it with the precision of a mathematical equation.
As a matter of fact, the latest conclusions in modern biology and anti-aging around proper lifestyle choices are what have been practiced for thousands of years in Chinese medicine.
Since Chinese medicine has exploded into the West, science is proving its theories. Molecular biological studies are listing the powerful antioxidants and pharmaceutical properties in Chinese botanicals. And research in hormonal and neurological science has shown that inserting acupuncture into the foot will light up the pre-frontal cortex of the brain to achieve its healing results.
Yes, we are indeed living in exciting times. And thankfully our over-stressed society is looking towards Eastern wisdom for answers.
Imagine a 90 year-old Chinese elder who practices tai chi every day. She’s nimble and agile, and looks 20 years younger than she is. And someone asks her: “What’s your secret?” Her answer? She laughs wholeheartedly at the absurdity of the question. Because she doesn’t consider her lifestyle a secret. She considers it as common sense. Her secret is that she takes care of herself. And knows enough about Chinese medicine to know HOW to take care of herself.
And your key to longevity and anti-aging is to find a doctor of Chinese medicine who can truly communicate to you the theory, essence and practical steps you can take to enliven your future. Our mission at Lumina, the fountain of youth, is to be your Chinese medical and longevity advisor. Our doctors are English and French speaking, educated and the most prestigious academies of Chinese medicine and specialists in longevity and anti-aging. Come in for a consultation and experience the ilLUMINAtion.
