Gary Nulls Ultimate Anti Aging Program

Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts
The first time I heard your name was from a gentleman selling vitamins at Queens Mall. He was giving me the advice to not take AZT because you said it was toxic, and he asked me to listen to you, but I had no idea when, where. At work, my office is separate from another, and one day, I walked in and heard you on the radio, got the station, and listened in my own office. Then I realized it was the same person the vitamin man had told me about. I've been a faithful listener ever since, so naturally, when you announced this program study, I signed up.

Intravenous infusion: Another term for an IV drip, in which medications, saline, vitamins, or other liquids are dripped from a bag, held by an elevated holder, into the body through a tube inserted into a vein. Intravenous pyelography: Also referred to as IVP, this procedure is used to examine the urinary system. A special dye that shows up on X rays is injected into a vein. Kidney biopsy: The removal of a small section of a kidney for diagnostic testing. Lumbar puncture: Also known as a spinal tap, this procedure is used to diagnose injuries and diseases of the nervous system.
As there are far too many possibly dangerous drug interactions to list here, protect yourself by always listing every medication you're taking, including vitamins and other over-the-counter preparations. Verify all information before signing any forms. Be sure that the clerk has typed in the proper name, age, and medical data. Names such as "Johnson" and "Johnston" appear similar, but such an error can be deadly when it comes to confusion during treatment. In some ER facilities, clerks type in the patient's allergies. Check to be sure that all of yours have been properly identified.

Food and Healing

Supplementary vitamins and minerals that have a positive effect because there is a definite deficiency state in the body. While the use of supplements as medicine to treat specific conditions is eminently rational, "the shotgun approach"13 of general nutritional supplementation is not^jf aking sixteen or twenty nutrients in pill form "just in case" there aren't enough in the wholesome foods also eaten indicates fear and mistrust of food, and of nature itself. As long as the fear of not having enough motivates our choices, we will always be deficient, and nothing will ever be enough.
It has been well established that vitamins in the B complex (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, Bg, Bi2 and so on) are interdependent: Taking one of them increases the need for the others.15 In other words, taking Be tablets can make us relatively deficient in Bx, B2, B12, and all the others. Why? Because the B-vitamin complex forms a living system of sorts, and breaking up a system always creates a need for that system to rebalance itself. Greater amounts of Bg must be balanced with greater amounts of Bi, B2, B12, and so on. A carrot is also a system.

Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness

The emphasis on acid-alkaline blood balance came from Kitkoski's discovery that when the balance was disturbed, the blood could not absorb minerals and vitamins, regardless of the food or supplements ingested. The balance was upset by eating habits; toxic contaminants in air, food and water; and chemicals from drugs—tobacco as well as consciousness-altering substances. These enter the blood stream and become lodged in the cells, disturbing cell function.
For 25 years he has researched the patterns of minerals, vitamins and blood proteins in a new way (Smith). Kitkoski researched and cured animal disease by balancing blood chemistry before he successfully applied his methods to humans. His organization, Life Balances in Spokane, Washington, has prepared physicians' manuals and training sessions to carry out their stunning procedures. Both Kitkoski's models and mine exist to improve the body's ability to adapt—health—and to cure disease over time by removing the cause. This program is not fast, but it is sure.

It provides a basic supply of necessary nutrients: basic proteins, carbohydrates, beneficial oils, and a rich source of vitamins that aid the liver in recovering function. This approach often helps people who are trying to get off the toxicity merry-go-round. (See the Resource section for references.) You can also supplement your diet with herbs that are known to cleanse and protect the liver. The two most important are these: Dandelion (also known as Taraxacum officinale). You may know dandelion as a common weed, but herbalists know it as an important cure-all.

All the vitamins, supplements, organic foods, and exercise in the world cannot restore hair lost because of a genetic tendency for balding. Like many others, I, too, believed that such genetic programming could not be reversed. Or so I was taught. AGE IS ONLY A NUMBER Like it or not, we begin to age the moment we are born. However, given that our bodies are designed to live productive, vital lives well past age one hundred, this should not be an issue. As a population, we are living longer. This, however, does not mean that we are aging better.

While our ancestors thrived on pounds of plants, we've cut back to a few four-ounce servings a day, yet are eating unprecedented amounts of calorie- Our bodies evolved on wild plants and game, but today those foods have been replaced with new, processed foods high in fat, sugar, and salt, and low in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. dense foods. To put it simply: if a pound of food left you feeling full, you could eat a pound of chocolate for 2,330 calories, or munch like a cave dweller on a pound of wild greens that supplies only 100 calories.

Today, these are considered along with the various quantifiable components, such as protein, carbohydrate, fats, vitamins, and minerals, according to individual indications. The immune system is also seen as a form of qi that it can be negatively influenced by pollution, bad diet, physical and emotional stress, and other factors. This eventually becomes the underlying cause for disease. Yin and Yang Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness, All can know good as good only because there is evil. Therefore having and not having arise together.

So it is especially appropriate to correct possible deficiencies of vitamin C and the B vitamins (biotin, B12/ folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, and thiamin). Other factors that can promote depression are food allergies, excess caffeine and sugar, and rich, heavy, nutrient-poor diets. inhaled, or added to bath water.

Dandelion is rich in minerals like iron, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, and boron and vitamins A, B, and C. It contains up to 25% inulin, a phytochemical also found in high levels in burdock root and echinacea. It seems to selectively nourish and increase the body's supply of favorable intestinal bacteria such as bifidobacteria. Other components of the herb, including triterpenoid saponins, have been found to stimulate macrophage activity in animals and prevent tumor growth (Takasaki et al., 1999).
I would recommend heeding this same advice any time you initially encounter anyone or anything, human or electronic, that sells herbs and vitamins. While there are many honest and skilled salespeople in the herbal marketplace, dishonest or overzealous retailers are in great supply. Ever since Madison Avenue realized, "Thar's gold in them thar holistic hills," there has been a deluge of herbal marketing messages from TV, radio, magazines, catalogs, Internet sites, books, billboards, audiotapes, and videos.
STARTING DOSAGE: • 1:5 tincture (with minerals retained): 2CM10 drops two to three times per day • Capsules or tablets: one to four 500-mg pills two to three times per day Alfalfa is a classic nutritive tonic herb, rich in chlorophyll, protein, calcium, trace minerals, folic acid, and vitamins Bfi, E, and K. The strong nutrient effects seen with clinical use may be credited to either of two attributes unique to this particular herb. First, the plant has an extraordinarily strong root system that penetrates up to 60 feet into the soil, allowing the herb to mine out precious nutrients.
I suggest the government require manufacturers to put kudzu root right into all alcoholic drinks, along with some milk thistle seed to protect the liver, a little white peony root to aid in spatial coordination, and some B vitamins to reduce toxicity. This would serve as an instant solution to most alcohol-related problems, including overconsumption, liver damage, morning-after hangovers, and drunk driving. Research Highlights • Compounds in kudzu root have been shown to suppress voluntary alcohol consumption in alcohol-preferring rats (Lin and Li, 1998).
Numerous studies of long pepper show blood levels of various vitamins and nutrients to increase by as much as 30% when ingested concurrently. Nonetheless, I do not recommend long-term continual use due to the herb's strongly spicy quality. Atal (1985) estimated that the inhibition effect lasts only 1-6 hours in animals, and this makes it very useful with ingested nutrients. However, if long pepper is taken continuously or in excess, it could also keep toxic molecules from being metabolized and excreted.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) presented Congress with an initiative to control and limit consumer access to dietary supplements such as herbs, vitamins, and minerals. There was a huge public outcry against such limitations. During the months that the FDA proposal was being considered, congressional representatives received more mail from concerned constituents than they had received on any issue in history except for the Vietnam War. It was one of the strongest grassroots campaigns this country had ever witnessed.

This broad category also includes vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other nutritional products. What this means for you is that you don't have to wait years for costly research to be done on the herbs you want to take. But it also means that the manufacturers of herbal products are limited in the claims they can make on the labels—even when those claims have research to support them. Specifically, manufacturers are permitted to make what's called structure and function claims—in other words, they can say only that a product affects the structure and function of a body part or system.

Supplements, drinks, and energy bars are just the beginning of a wave of high-tech products packed with varying amounts of phytochemicals, probiotics, herbs, vitamins, and antioxidants. Watch this trend with a wary eye and don't be fooled by new products advertised as herb- or phytochemical-fortified mood enhancers, energy boosters, life extenders, or disease fighters. To eat in tune with your evolutionary roots, you're better off sticking with wholesome, unprocessed, real food, which is what your body craves anyway.
Preliminary evidence already shows, for example, that a phytochemical called gingerol in ginger is a potent antioxidant, that the lignans in whole grains enhance fiber's protective effects against colon cancer, and that phenolic compounds in green tea might be major players in pro- Compare to Our Ancestors' Our bodies evolved on levels of vitamins and minerals that are difficult to get today from diet alone.

As we approach our "golden years" it is the time to make sure we have a healthy diet geared toward maximum nutrition filled with foods that supply high levels of vitamins A, C, and E; carotenes; and minerals. These are all powerful phytonutrients that have antioxidant qualities. You can increase your life span by changing your habits or life-style. Oh, it takes work, but you can do it if you want to do it. .. just take it one step at a time. 1. First of all, attitude is the most important. The mind can make you sick or well. It's very powerful. You must think positively. Be happy.
These are fatty tissues and cells that are susceptible to lipid peroxidation, so a wide range of antioxidants is called for, the most important being vitamins E and C, selenium, and the carotenoids beta-carotene and lycopene. Vitamin E may be the single most important antioxidant for heart health. It is readily incorporated into the LDL cholesterol molecule and protects it from free-radical damage. It also reduces overall LDL cholesterol levels, raises HDL levels, inhibits platelet aggregation, and breaks down excess fibrogen.

His vitamin supplements include vitamins B and C, both of which have now been shown important in dementia prevention, as well as Siberian ginseng root bark. Up to the age of 94, he maintained a full schedule of board meetings and charitable functions, and his mind remained as clear as a bell until an unfortunate fall took his life. The historical use of herbal medicines to treat dementia diseases like Alzheimer's varies according to the different traditions.

Most foods are a mixture of more than one element (along with combinations of the vitamins and minerals). For example, bread is high in carbohydrate, but also contains protein and fat; whole milk contains carbohydrate, fat, and protein, each in reasonable quantity; meat is a mixture of protein and fat; and so on. The Food Charts at the end of the book give the protein, fat, and carbohydrate content of about 400 items, along with the other elements important for good health. Reading the next few pages will help you interpret these charts.
