Melatonin and Healthy Aging

In addition to promoting restful sleep, melatonin contains some of the most powerful antioxidants ever discovered! In fact, Dr. Pinkus’ Sublingual Sleep helps prevent free radical damage and encourages cell repair. When considering new ways to fight aging, remember that melatonin is very helpful in healing and repairing your body at night.

Non-Toxic and Safe

The first human trials of melatonin occurred over 60 years ago. Researchers tested a dose of 700 mg on each subject! Although they reported feeling sleepy, they experienced no other noticeable differences. Decades of scientific studies later, experts now recommend 3 mg doses of melatonin to help induce sleep (the same dosage in Sublingual Sleep). Research has also shown that melatonin is non-toxic, non-addictive and more effective with continued use.

Circadian Rhythms

If you look at any life form – including plants, animals or humans – they all follow circadian rhythms, or day/night patterns. Plants open their foliage and flowers toward the sun only to close them at night. In a similar way, animals retreat to their den and sleep. Humans need the same downtime – a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night.

Can you guess what hormone controls the circadian rhythms of each of these life forms? If you answered “melatonin,” you are correct. In fact, melatonin is the only substance found in plants, animals and humans in an identical form. This is a true rarity in the natural world. Another interesting detail about melatonin is that it is both fat and water-soluble. Because of its ability to repair cells and cell membranes, it’s one of the most valuable nutrients for your health.

Choose Your Melatonin Well

Because inferior grade melatonin is commercially available and used in many sleep supplements, it is prudent to be aware of these formulas when shopping around. Dr. Pinkus’ Sublingual Sleep contains the highest quality melatonin on the market. When you try it, you will appreciate how fast it works and how effective it is in helping you sleep. For those of you who are not problem sleepers, try Sublingual Sleep at bedtime for its antioxidant potency, ability to lower blood pressure, improve cardio health, and to help you wake up more rejuvenated.

This bill puts the government in charge of approving new supplements. It also means regulations, controls, and more red tape – essentially making it very difficult – if not impossible – to purchase affordable dietary supplements. The hidden purpose of this bill is to give the pharmaceutical industry – who in many ways controls the FDA and other government organizations – the ability to take over the entire supplement industry. Here is their agenda as I see it:

1. To eliminate natural, healthy remedies and redirect the public towards prescription drugs only.
2. To force vitamin manufacturers out of business with excessive paperwork, reporting and government regulations. The majority of supplement companies would fold because these controls would be too expensive to implement. As a result, “big pharma” would takeover the vitamin market. Just think…you would need a prescription to buy vitamins!

There are already a few examples of this: A prescription form of niacin, a B-vitamin, sells for $145 for a 60 day supply. You can buy the same at a health food store for around $8. A prescription fish oil costs almost eight times more than what you spend on a reputable brand.

The senators introduced this bill due to an incident involving the claims of a few professional athletes who believe that they were mislead into taking illegal substances (steroids and other banned ingredients such as ephedra) because the ingredients of their health supplements were unlisted on their labels. If it passes, Senator McCain plans to give the FDA unprecedented control over the vitamin industry.

The unfortunate fact is that the FDA already controls the food supplement industry. Either the athletes who took the questionable supplements knew what they were taking, or the FDA did not monitor those companies with their extant policies.

Before introducing one of my new supplements, I comply with each letter of the law – down to the smallest detail. I also use labs that follow GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) – which were created by the FDA in the first place. The FDA presently mandates and monitors compliance of these manufacturing practices.

The truth is this: it is a misnomer to name this bill the “Dietary Supplement Safety Act” because there are effective measures already in place protecting U.S. consumers.

In fact, according to the American Association of Poison Control, there were no fatalities in 2008 resulting from dietary supplement intake. In contrast, almost 100,000 people died in 2008 due to prescription drugs. As you can see, the intentions behind this bill are questionable – at best.

For what it’s worth, I am not criticizing Senator McCain or Senator Dorgan. However, I am very concerned about losing our choice to manufacture and sell supplements that provide wonderful health benefits. I believe this bill could lead to an increase in people taking prescription drugs and undergoing risky surgical procedures. It would also remove my ability to bring you new formulas.

As the health care reform debate plays out in the media, you’ve probably heard a number of different viewpoints. Although it’s always good to be informed, it’s equally important to “bring the issue home” and begin to look at your own health. Ultimately, it is easier to reform oneself than an entire nation. I’d like to address the most frequent health issue facing us today. Did you know that the #1 reason people go to the doctor is because they have pain?

What is Pain Exactly?

Imagine that your body has its own unique language and way of conveying internal information. Pain is a form of communication from your body. When we are hurt, our defense mechanism kicks in and we know not to move the afflicted area, and to give it rest. If you twist and sprain your ankle, for example, the joint needs relaxation to heal. If you ignore this time-out process, you get more PAIN!

The good news is that the healing process is finite… the ankle will mend, the bruises will fade, and before long we’re back to normal again.

On the other side of the spectrum is chronic pain. If you experience this type of daily suffering, you know it can drive you over the edge.

Pain: Why Does it Persist?

If you answered this question by saying that it is a lack of pain medication in the body, I would have to give you an “F”! By the way, I would also give a resounding “flunk” to our health care system – as they practice the “If it hurts, medicate it” philosophy.

The truth is actually rather simple: if you’re constantly hurting then I would say – with 100% confidence – that you have way too much inflammation in your body!

The War Continues: Good Oils vs. Bad Oils

One of the most common causes of inflammation in the body is ingesting certain foods and substances that fall into the pro-inflammatory category — namely Omega 6 fatty acids – which are the inexpensive and often harmful oils that are rampant in junk and fast foods. Your body can only handle a small amount of these oils in your diet.

Then there is the healthy oil, Omega 3 Fatty Acids (found in sea creatures) – often sold as fish oil. This oil reduces inflammation in the body more efficiently than any known natural substance.

A century ago, the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio was around one- to-one (1:1). Today, bad oils are predominant and the ratio is upwards of 50:1. That means we’re consuming fifty times more Omega 6 oils (which cause pain and inflammation) than the anti-inflammatory Omega 3 oils. It’s no wonder that our country’s waiting rooms are filled with patients suffering from dozens of inflammatory diseases.

This widespread imbalance is the reason I call America the “Inflammation Nation,” and unfortunately the reason why so many of you are hurting right now. Furthermore, I believe that this disproportionate statistic is a contributing factor to our sick health care system!

Before we go further, let’s do a quick recap of Omega oils:

• Omega 3′s are anti-inflammatory. They eliminate inflammation.
• Omega 6′s are pro-inflammatory. They create inflammation.
• Inflammation = Pain.

Although pain is a negative side effect of inflammation, it’s not the only one. Did you know that inflammation is responsible for most cardiovascular deaths (not cholesterol as many believe), as well as Alzheimer’s, and disorders such as diabetes and thyroid conditions? The fact is inflammation gets into organs, blocks blood and nerve flow, and can cause vital systems to shut down.

All Omega 3 Supplements are Not Created Equal

Fish oils are widely used for their Omega 3 values. The bad news is that they are processed with chemical solvents that can taint the oil. Additionally, they often cause a fishy aftertaste (or burp-back) because the oil is rancid.

After years of research, I found a much better source of Omega 3′s in krill – tiny crustaceans in the shrimp family. For starters, krill oil contains 300% more Omega 3′s than fish oil. In addition, we extract the oil naturally using a patented cold-press process – which means no chemicals are used. And since it’s fresh and naturally preserved, there is little to no burp-back or fishy aftertaste.

Did you know that the Omega 3 oil in krill contain the highest and purest source of life-giving, anti-inflammatory nutrients on the planet? Plus, krill oil is an antioxidant powerhouse with more potency than Vitamin E. To harness these super nutrients, I developed what is now a best-selling supplement called Dr. Pinkus’ OmegaKrill.

Healthier for You & Better for Our Planet

Sourced from some of the purest, most unpolluted waters in the world, the krill we use are harvested in a remote region of the Antarctic Ocean. And since these sustainable crustaceans come from one of the most abundant organisms on the planet, krill oil is much friendlier on our ecosystem than fish oil.

An interesting fact: krill is the only food source of the great blue whale – which, by the way, are the largest mammals on earth. They grow to over 100 feet long and weigh close to 200 tons! Just think about that for a second… blue whales subsist solely on the nutrients in krill!

I Found Out Myself How Well OmegaKrill^™ Works!

Good doctor I am…tennis star I am not!

While playing tennis with my teenage son, I blew out the rotator cuff in my shoulder. It was incredibly painful, especially when trying to sleep. Every time I rolled onto my shoulder, the pain woke me up.

After consulting with my colleagues about getting an MRI, I began researching alternatives. My shoulder pain continued. Fortunately, it was around the same time that I received the first lab samples for my new OmegaKrill formula.

That night, I took two OmegaKrill capsules before going to bed. I have to admit that although I had done extensive research about the pain relieving benefits of krill oil, I thought that my shoulder would need surgery because the pain was so intense.

After taking OmegaKrill for 5 days, I had my first full night of sleep since the injury. I didn’t wake up once because of pain! After a few weeks the daytime pain subsided too. Now, several months later, I am completely pain-free and back on the tennis court again! (By the way, I don’t play any better, but at least I can still play.)

Now, I have some very good, practical suggestions that may help you to avoid the H1N1 flu virus. But first… let me tell you why your dog or cat won’t get the H1N1 virus.

Pet Bodies vs. Human Bodies

Dogs and cats have a very similar physiology to the human body, with one major exception – they have the capability to manufacture Vitamin C in their bodies on a daily basis!

For example, both of my 24 pound Westies will each manufacture approximately 5 grams or 5000 milligrams of Vitamin C every day. And if they get sick, this number can rise to help fight off the infection.

And how much Vitamin C does your body make? Zilch! Zero. Nada.

Research shows that millions of years ago, the human body lost the ability to create Vitamin C, leaving us as prime candidates for infection and a host of other diseases which most mammals do not experience. In fact, there are only three or four mammals who do not manufacture their own Vitamin C. These include primates, guinea pigs and humans (with all three used as “laboratory animals” because they can be infected with anything).

But the point here is that Vitamin C should be in our bodies and it isn’t, leaving us as the perfect hosts for a lurking pandemic virus like the H1N1.

Why President Roosevelt Should Have Taken Vitamin C

History has chronicled the deadly effects of the polio outbreak from the 1920′s to the post-war 1950′s. Even our 32nd President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had it. Tens of thousands of people were infected and were either paralyzed or died from it. My first cousin was a polio victim. She survived…but today she walks with noticeable limp.

In the late 1940′s, there was a medical doctor in New York City, a physician who actually headed the emergency room at one of the largest hospitals in New York City. When a patient arrived showing symptoms of polio, he would immediately give them high doses of Vitamin C. In his studies, out of the 96 patients with polio who were given Vitamin C, not a single one developed any negative effects of polio. They were polio-free – and had beaten the virus!

This doctor was invited to speak at an AMA convention, but unfortunately his findings were quickly buried. Why? The speculation was that because Vitamin C is not a drug, there would be no profit in it for the pharmaceutical companies and the medical profession-sad but true!

How to Super Charge Your Immune System with Vitamin C

First off, Vitamin C is “not just a good idea”- it is a necessity, especially when facing a dangerous human virus like the H1N1 swine flu. Vitamin C is needed by your body to start and run your immune system. Even if the current swine flu vaccination works miraculously, (which I doubt-witness the Swine Flu vaccinations from 1976: 25 people died from the vaccine and it was quickly recalled after $125 million was spent on it), your body still needs Vitamin C for your immune system to work.

Here’s a short list of what Vitamin C does:

* Vitamin C is needed for your white blood cells to function. And without white blood cells, you have no resistance at all.
* Vitamin C is needed for your lymphocytes to become activated. Lymphocytes are like little “Pac-Man” cells that devour viruses and bacteria in your body.
* Vitamin C makes “complement”. Complement is a special kind of cell in the body that acts like a “neutron bomb”, which chemically takes out foreign invaders.
* Vitamin C is needed to make collagen tissue. Collagen is the body’s “glue” that repairs damaged cells and tissues if and when a virus attacks.

Don’t Be Caught Defenseless Without a Good Source of Vitamin C!

Sure, everyone knows that to get your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C, just drink orange juice. But the government’s RDA of 60 mg is barely enough to ensure that you don’t get scurvy, much less protect you from a deadly virus like the swine flu.

So to help protect you and your family’s health, I created Super C22, a naturally flavored beverage powder that you mix with water to create a great tasting, powerful source of Vitamin C. Super C22 contains twenty-two different forms of Vitamin C and its ‘cousins’ – antioxidants naturally found with Vitamin C.

From the moment you start taking Super C22, your body immediately begins activating its immune system. And the sooner you start supercharging your immune system, the better prepared you will be to fight off the H1N1 virus. Remember, viruses only survive in bodies that are unprotected. And not everyone will be able to get the H1N1 vaccine (and they haven’t proven that it works yet.)
