Four Natural Ways To Stop Deadly DNA Damage



You don’t smoke, you exercise regularly and you eat a balanced diet of fresh, whole foods. But unfortunately, even the healthiest habits aren’t foolproof. That’s why you’ll be relieved to hear that nature offers an arsenal of safe, powerful compounds that are scientifically proven to pack a protective punch against mutagenic problems—whether you have a family history or simply want to act proactively by supporting cellular health.



D-glucarate is just one example of a powerful, anti-mutagenic compound: Derived from fruits and vegetables, this naturally occurring chemical helps cellular enzymes bind to harmful compounds so that they can be eliminated from your body before they cause damage to your DNA—all within just five hours of supplementation. As a result, studies indicate that d-glucarate can support the health of the lung, breast, prostate and colon—while reducing abnormal cell proliferation, which may contribute to the growth of existing tumors.



Green tea is another well-known health-booster, rich in a number of polyphenol antioxidants. But it’s one of these polyphenols in particular—epigallocatechin-3-gallate, better known as EGCG—that’s responsible for green tea’s cell-protecting properties. Studies show that EGCG tricks abnormal cells into undergoing apoptosis (programmed cell death), while reducing your body’s levels of mutation-promoting enzymes. And EGCG can target abnormally transformed cells specifically, leaving healthy cells unharmed.



Ellagic acid is another polyphenolic compound with powerful properties. Abundant in brightly colored fruits like raspberries, strawberries and pomegranates, ellagic acid is a potent natural detoxifier, able to block the activation of a number of mutation-promoting chemicals—including polycyclic hydrocarbons, nitrites, and aflatoxins—and it scavenges and promotes the elimination of these deadly carcinogens from your body.



When taken twice a day, each of these powerful natural substances can help to sustain cellular health, regardless of whether your family or personal history has stacked the cards against you or you simply want extra anti-mutagenic support

Many studies have documented the neuro-protective and chemo-preventative properties of various nutritional compounds in models of brain injury.

In one study, a combination of vitamin E and l-carnitine helped diminish the brain damaging effects of radiation.
Another study demonstrated how omega-3 fatty acids helped reduce the severity of traumatic brain injury by normalizing various compromised neuronal protective mechanisms.
And finally, after traumatic brain injury, energy production of the brain is many times compromised. Supplemental curcumin, was shown to help restore energy homeostasis in models of brain trauma.

Corvalen® D-Ribose 3-week study.


A new, multicenter study verified that Corvalen D-ribose is an effective treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FMS).



53 health practitioners enrolled 257 patients who had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. They were given D-ribose, a naturally occurring pentose carbohydrate, at a dose of 5-g TID for 3 weeks.



All patients were assessed at baseline (one week before treatment was begun) and after 1, 2, & 3 weeks of treatment using a Visual Analog Scale (of 1-7 points) rating energy, sleep, cognitive function, pain and overall well-being.



Improvement in the first week.

203 patients completed the 3 week treatment trial. The results showed statistically significant improvement in all 5 parameters after 3 weeks of D-ribose treatment (p < .0001).



New hope for new treatment.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia have been historically difficult to define and notoriously difficult to treat. Only recently has this condition been given the attention it deserves. The findings of this study give hope that soon, D-ribose will become part of an efficacious, well-accepted course of treatment.

Vitamin K


A recent study detailed how increased levels of vitamin K2, either through supplementation or through the diet, can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular heart disease. Past studies have demonstrated vitamin K2s ability to decrease the incidence of arterial calcification.

Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in abundance in the fresh water organisms and popular health foods chorella and spirulina, was found to reduce the bioavailability of the toxic carcinogen aflatoxin, a fungal contaminant found in many grains and legumes. Aflatoxin has been implicated as a cause of liver cancer.

"Doc, you're a genius. I feel fantastic but the only problem is, my esophagus keeps falling asleep."


Patients with Gastro-Intestinal Reflux Disease (GERD) when given oral melatonin demonstrated a reduction in symptoms of heartburn and epigastric pain.

Magnesium deficiency is epidemic in America today. Some estimates are as high as 90% of North Americans have low blood levels. Our diet and soil is depleted. Magnesium is one of the most needed minerals in the body as it is directly involved in over 300 enzymes reactions helping with carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism.

All energy production requires magnesium. Cereal fiber like wheat bran interferes with absorption while plant fiber or "cellulose" helps with magnesium absorption.

Hormone production and metabolism is also magnesium dependant

Never take Magnesium Oxide/ Calcium Carbonate formula combinations as these compete with and interfere with each other.

The "old school" calcium/magnesium 2:1 ratio can be deceiving as the individual diet and needs can vary greatly.

Muscle weakness may mean that extra calcium may be required

Sore tense muscles may mean that extra magnesium may be required

Blood vessel contraction creating high blood pressure, Asthma, excessive frequency of urination and constipation can all be signs of magnesium deficiency.

Hard cheeses can be over 20:1 calcium/magnesium ratio

Magnesium Glycinate seems to be the best absorbing and utilized taken before bedtime.
Increase the dosage gradually until a soft bowel movement is created in the morning assuming no serious disease is present.

The efficient utilization of Vitamin D requires magnesium to convert into its final hormonal form.

People with cravings for chocolate are often Magnesium deficient
Of course Green leafy vegetables contain highly absorb able magnesium
I take liquid blue green algae every morning upon arising in alkaline water. An acid ash diet can force the body to deplete calcium and magnesium.

Recent studies have shown that there are some individuals that show a genetic tendency to loose magnesium.
