description

This is the slightly trimmed version of "The Gathering Storm, The Breaking Dawn" talk I previously gave in California, dealing with the failing financial and physical health of the American public (other than the much talked about "1%") as well as the medical care system which is in danger of imploding. The Pharmanex Biophotonic scanner, its validation, and the rationale behind the LifePak supplement line is reviewed.

“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

ANY disease or “medical condition.”

They ARE appropriate to support the structure and function of the human body.

Page 4: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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.

Page 5: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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.

Page 6: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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.

• 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???

Page 21: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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.

Page 22: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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.

REASON: “EHR” requirements. “Would cost too much in his small medical practice.”

Page 26: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

“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

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

Page 37: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

Oxidative stress in the BRAIN

Page 38: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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

Page 39: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

What are some consequences of oxidative stress?

• Impaired cognitive function• Decreased memory• Depressed immune system• Increased inflammation• DNA damage• cancer• Behavioral deterioration

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.***

Page 51: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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.

Page 52: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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.

Page 53: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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)

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.”

Page 69: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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)

Page 70: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

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.

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

So why do you need a SYSTEM in your vitamin supplement/mineral complex?? And what’s a ‘nano’?

Page 75: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

What does “Nano” mean?

• Cylcodextrin ring – benign, digestable

• Feeds the gut microflora

Page 76: Pharmanex HCP presentation, Provo, Utah 03

How do nano-nutrients work?

Nano-encapsulated nutrients do not clump; they DISPERSE.

The Effects of high dose B vitamins on stress at work

• “Occupational stress is increasing in Western societies.”

• 3 month, double blind, placebo control, randomized study

• Measured: Personality, work demands, mood, anxiety, and strain

• After variances in personality and work demands were

controlled, the vitamin B complex treated group reported significantly lower personal strain and a reduction in confusion and depressed/dejected mood after 12 weeks.

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 (sleep

disruption)– Decreases anxiety; improves sleep

Negative downstream effects from selenium deficiency:

“…cancer, heart disease, and immune dysfunction are prospectively associated with modest selenium deficiency…. suggesting that Se deficiency could be a CAUSATIVE factor”

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)• Tsai, E.C., Boyko, E.J., Leonetti, D.L., & Fujimoto,

W.Y. (2000). Low serum testosterone level as a predictor of increased visceral fat in Japanese-American men. International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders, 24, 485-491
