Dear Members:

Antioxidant health is an important topic any time of the year, but summer is
a time when we tend to be more aware of free radical damage from the sun.
Free-radical damage happens all year long and comes in many forms. Damage
from the sun, while occurring all year long, tends to be worse in the summer
since we spend more time out of doors and wear less protective clothing due
to the heat.



Along with summer memories, what else stays with you as a reminder of your
fun in the sun?  Ever wonder what the connection the sun has to liver spots?
Think they are just part of the aging process?   Think that you only need to
be concerned due to vanity?



Those flat discolorations are about a lot more than vanity even though most
people feel they are just part of the after 40 aging process.  Traditional
medicine will tell you live with them, or try bleaching them and stay out of
the sun.  While sun exposure is part of the equation, and wearing sun screen
of at least SPF 15 is very important, there is more to it than that.  As
with people, outward appearances may count but it's what's going on in the
inside that counts more.



It is widely believed that poor nutrition, abnormal liver function, and lack
of exercise can also cause liver spots.  According to Dr. Beth Burch,

       "Brown spots are caused by the accumulation of a yellow pigment
called lipofuschin in the connective tissue of the body due to aging of the
collagen producing cells. When lipofuschin accumulates in the connective
tissue of the skin, brown spots are the result, sometimes called age spots
or liver spots. When lipofuschin accumulates in the connective tissue of the
retina, the result is age-related macular degeneration. The lipofuchin is
probably the remnant of incompletely degraded molecules from damaged cells.

Preventing damage to cells is the best approach to age spots and other
problems from aging. Antioxidants are the key to preventing cellular damage
from free radicals (highly reactive molecules that can destroy cellular
compounds). These protective antioxidants include carotenes, vitamins C & E,
selenium, flavonoids and sulfur containing amino acids.  Increasing the
amount of antioxidant foods in the diet along with supplementation will
decrease cellular damage. Be sure to avoid external sources of free radicals
including fried and grilled foods, rancid fats, solvents, pesticides, air
pollutants, radiation and petroleum based products."

So what can you do?
            Start a wellness program now. Some lifestyle and dietary changes
will be beneficial in developing a general wellness program and may speed
the elimination of these liver spots.

. Begin an exercise program

. Make some dietary changes mentioned below

. Avoid exposure to the sun without proper sun protection

. Cleanse your liver

. Take supplements that will help slow the aging process and aid in tissue
repair



Dietary Changes:

All of us need to avoid gluten, but in addition to our medically necessary
diet changes, good nutrition needs to be our focus. Dietary changes are
necessary to get some of the metabolic wastes out of your system and cleanse
your tissues. Some of these factors cause damage to your skin.



. Begin a detoxification program to clean your tissues and organs.

. Improve your diet to include more fruits and vegetables, especially in raw
form. Drink 8 eight-ounce glasses of water daily.

. Avoid sweets, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and junk foods. This is a main
foundation of ANY over-all Wellness Program.

. Avoid rancid oils. Refrigerate all oils after opening; store nuts and
seeds in the freezer or refrigerator; store grains in a cool place; avoid
all fried foods as the hot cooking oils contain substances that damage the
skin. (I just read GFL this month and this was mentioned)



How can we help?



We are about more than just selling the best antioxidant, anti aging,
supplement on the market (which is, of course, gluten free).  We are more
than the only company whose supplements have undergone two clinical trials
to prove bio availability and to guarantee absorption.  We are more than the
only company that can non-invasively measure your antioxidant absorption

able to offer a money back guarantee if your antioxidant levels don't
increase. Our company is all about helping to educate people and take care
of people by producing the best products available through science - not
media hype.

Detox Formula
Toxins and foreign chemicals can be produced endogenously as byproducts of
normal metabolism or exogenously through our diet and the environment.
Without detoxification, these substances would continue to circulate
throughout the body and would not be eliminated. The liver, the body's
detoxifying organ is equipped with enzymes that neutralize and eliminate
toxins from our system. Often we overload the liver's detoxifying capacity
by adding toxins to our systems in the form of food additives, prescription
drugs, and alcohol, not to mention toxins from cleaning agents, and other
chemicals of modern day living.

Detox Formula is a proprietary blend of nutrients which help support the
normal detoxifying function of the liver. This unique formula has been
developed by Pharmanex Scientists to support both phases of liver
detoxification for comprehensive protection from harmful toxins.* Patented

elimination of many toxic metabolites and foreign chemicals.
