Youth Pill Finally Here
|
|
by Dorothy Larson-Dale
|
|
|
|
Scientists say that selenium - a mineral you can buy in health food
|
|
stores - significantly slows the aging process and will keep you
|
|
looking and feeling young years longer.
|
|
|
|
The astonishing discovery was made after a 25-year research project
|
|
conducted by teams of dedicated chemists at the University of
|
|
California.
|
|
|
|
The researchers described selenium as an essential nutrient found in
|
|
seafoods and meats.
|
|
|
|
In addition to retarding the body's aging process, it also guards
|
|
against organ damage caused by smoking and drinking.
|
|
|
|
An environmental research chemist at the university's food and
|
|
science department said an insufficient amount of selenium in the
|
|
human body can cause crippling muscle degeneration.
|
|
|
|
But it is the discovery that selenium retards aging and prolongs
|
|
youth that has electrified the scientific world.
|
|
|
|
"In the test tube, selenium is a powerful protector against
|
|
oxidation," declared a biochemist involved in the amazing research
|
|
project. "And oxidation is believed to be one of the main causes of
|
|
aging."
|
|
|
|
An independent researcher, Robert Evans - whose studies were
|
|
unrelated to those at the University of California - said the
|
|
mineral preserves the elasticity of the body tissue by delaying
|
|
oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, thus stalling the aging
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
"Selenium was once regarded as not needed by the human body," Evans
|
|
told the News, "It was even thought to be dangerous."
|
|
|
|
"It is now going to be one of the ways we maintain our health and
|
|
prevent degenerative disease.
|
|
|
|
"But the outstanding research done in California will put those
|
|
notions to rest.
|
|
|
|
"In addition to prolonging youth, there is strong evidence that
|
|

|
|
|
|
selenium taken in daily doses reduces the risk of breast, lung,
|
|
prostate, colon and ovarian cancers and maintains a healthy heart."
|
|
|
|
Selenium, also found in minute amounts in the human body, is sold
|
|
over-the-counter in most health food stores and in some drugstores.
|
|
A bottle of 250 tablets, each containing 50 mcgs. of selenium, sells
|
|
for about $10 to $11. The general dosage is one or two tablets
|
|
daily.

Vangard note....
|
|
|
|
Other information regarding selenium as found in certain forms
|
|
shows that EXCESS amounts can lead to brittle hair and nails.
|
|
|
|
The above article offers an interesting viewpoint when viewed
|
|
in light of the information available in DNAMAST1 on KeelyNet.
|
|
|
|
In the early days of electronics, selenium was used for
|
|
rectification of AC currents. This semi-conducting property of
|
|
selenium offers the possibility that this substance might be
|
|
used in the body to rectify AC transients to provide an overall
|
|
higher level of available DC energy to the body.
|
|
|
|
The modern works of Crile, Becker and Bergstrom among others
|
|
leads us to the inescapable fact that the body uses DC currents
|
|
primarily for electrical tone as well as ion transport.
|
|
|
|
The idea is that aging is caused by twisting of the DNA and RNA
|
|
helices to reduce the number of base pairs per turn. This in
|
|
turn functions much like reducing the number of windings of the
|
|
secondary of a coil in respect to the primary.
|
|
|
|
As the voltage is reduced the ability of the body to enact
|
|
ionic transference of chemical substances and fluids is greatly
|
|
impaired.
