‘the proof of the
pudding…
… is in the
eating’
“After hydrogen, the
most common thing
in the universe
is stupidity.”
- Albert Einstein
Congrats, it only took 100
years!
The first testicular
guard, the "Cup," was used
in hockey in 1874 and the
first helmet was used in
1974. That means it took
only 100 years for men to
realize that their brain is
also important.
Nutritional Illiteracy
and Misinformation
U.S. has dropped to 49th
place in overall life
expectancy among the
world’s nations.
In 1999, the WHO ranked USA
24th.
Super-Sized Ambulance
• 1 in 10 Folks Worldwide are OBESE
• Massively Morbidly Obese--the new norm!
• Boston’s Emergency Medical Services has
ambulance with a hydraulic lift for the
heaviest patients.
• EMS routinely transport folks at least
450 pounds.
• EMS Capt. “…to be honest with you, with a
500, 600, 700 pound patient- its just too
much for you!
Pharmageddon
"the prospect of a world in
which medicines and
medicine produce more illhealth than health, and
when medical progress does
more harm than good".
Pharmageddon… A Pill for every
ill?
• Its everywhere today-work, school, in
the car next to you, in the elevator, in
your home!
• 1 in 2 people are taking at least one Rx
drug!!!
• 136 drugs cause cognitive impairment
• Polypharmacy- anti-cholinergic compounds
•
Histamine H2 receptor antagonists,
cardiac medications; digoxin, betablockers; corticosteroids, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory and antibiotics can
all cause acute and chronic confusion
•
Prescription Drugs Induce
Violence
FDA Adverse Event Reporting System- 31
Common Prescriptions linked to homicides!
• Most dangerous- Antidepressants Pristiq
(desvenlafaxine), Paxil (paroxetine) and
Prozac (fluoxetine) (10.9X).
• Top most dangerous drugs:
Antidepressants; also Insomnia, an
(ADHD)(10.3X), a Anti-malarial, and
Smoking Cessation drug.(18X)
• Acts of violence towards others are a
genuine and serious adverse drug event
associated with a relatively small group
of drugs.
So Young
and
Sooooo Many Pills!!
• More than 25% of Kids and Teens in the
U.S. take Prescriptions on a Regular
Basis
• Nearly 7% are on two or more drugs
• Rx’s antihypertensives going 5.5 million
–plus statins, anti-diabetic, sleep meds,
etc
• Asthma Rx ……….45,388,000
• ADHD Rx……….....24,357,000
• Antidepressant Rx…9,614,000
Lilly Stops Alzheimer’s Drug
Trials
• Eli Lilly & Co. halted two late-stage
clinical trials with drug, Semagacestat.
• Major setback on leading theory on
Alzheimer's treatment, i.e. plaque
reduction.
...showed worse cognitive functioning
and
less ability to perform daily living
tasks on drug vs. placebo, plus higher
risk for skin cancer!
Brush your Pearly Whites
Studies indicate that
the more plaque on your
teeth, the greater your
risk for having a heart
attack.

He reconstructed the genome of a bacterium that successfully "booted up"

What Say You?
“Whether you believe
you can do a thing or
not,
you are right.”
- Henry Ford
You Save Your Own Life
Four Preventable Risk Factors
Reduce Life Expectancy
• 4.9 years in men
• 4.1 years in women
• Smoking, high blood pressure,
elevated blood glucose and obesity
responsible for killing for hundreds
of thousands from chronic diseases;
cardiovascular diseases, cancers and
diabetes.
Blueprint to Avoid the Blues
• Hospital checklist cuts the risk of
death nearly in half for patients
who come in for surgery
• Checklists could avert tens of
thousands of surgical deaths and
hundreds of thousands of serious
complications annually in the US
• Complications dropped by 31 percent
per patient

Structure is Key to QORE
Anthocyanins
• Flavonoid compounds from blueberries and
strawberries may reduce blood pressure
• regulate blood pressure via vascular
blood flow, vascular reactivity, and
glucose uptake
• ***Endothelial NO regulation instead of
general antioxidant effect
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
2011, Volume 93, Pages 338-347,
"Habitual intake of flavonoid subclasses and incident hypertension in adults”
Gynostemma blood sugar effects on DM
2
• Fasting plasma glucose significantly
declined
• Post-treatment fasting blood glucose
levels were significantly lower
• Levels of HbA1c decreased
• Study suggests that the hypoglycemic
mechanism may involve improvements in
insulin resistance- not phanoside
increasing insulin release….new finding!
Antidiabetic effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea in
randomly assigned type 2 diabetic patients. Horm Metab
GRb1 significantly increased
neural stem cells
GRb1 found in Panax quinquefolium & Gynostemma pentaphyllum
• GRb1 significantly increased neural stem
cells – AKA neural precursors cells
• Induces Neurogenesis after brain ischemia
new support-Neuroprotective
• First time to show that GRb1 is capable
of increasing Brain-Derived Neurotrophic
Factor (BDNF) expression after stroke

The pathogenic role of intestinal
flora in IBD and colon cancer
Current Drug Targets. 2008;9:395-403. Rescigno M.
• Maintaining the right balance of beneficial
bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract
might help protect against conditions such
as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and
ultimately cancer (May 2008)
• In research conducted, probiotics
positively shifted the composition of
bacteria in the gut, and reduced the
development of tumors in animals
