Coenzyme Q10 is the must have nutrient. This is an oil-soluble vitamin type substance present primarily in the mitochondria. It participates in aerobic cellular respiration, and generating energy. The organs with high energy requirements are both the heart and liver. They need the high concentrations of CoQ10 to work properly. Coenzyme Q10 is required for your cells to produce enough energy to synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP).  Immune function needs a large amount of cellular energy (ATP) to mount a defense against foreign invaders. There is no substitute for CoQ10.

The levels of Q10 decline with age. There are a number of studies that prove the immune support of CoQ10. Aging alone accounts for a lower immune response. Natural killer cells are dependent on CoQ10, along with other nutrients to fend off viruses. Coenzyme Q10 is lower in people taking statin drugs. It is one of the adverse side effects. It is thought to be one of the reasons statin drugs do not perform as expected. They can put a heart patient in danger, because the heart muscle depends on CoQ10 to function properly. Heart patients struggle with low energy levels. Satins have adverse side effects and one of them is the lowering of cellular energy.

The benefits of CoQ10 are being studied. There seems to be evidence that it works well for hypertension. People with high blood pressure have lower levels of CoQ10 than normal. There is good scientific evidence that it helps with controlling high blood pressure. The Mayo Clinic has some research that shows this. People with congestive heart failure have lower levels of CoQ10. It may help protect the heart from heart-damaging side effects of cancer drugs.

Coenzyme Q10 is recognized as a therapeutic agent in Japan, and Europe, but is not as widely used in the United States. Dr. Peter Langsioen MD, FACC and some others think the reason is one of politics and finance. This is a natural product, and can’t as such be patented. For this reason there is no incentive for pharmaceutical companies to research its value.

Since it is an effective treatment for cardiovascular disease, and other age related conditions, seniors should be tested for CoQ10 levels. Most seniors are told that a low fat diet is the right one for them. A low fat diet is not only ineffective, it causes weight gain. It is a diet that is high in processed food. Those are the foods high in carbohydrates and sugar. The diet that makes the most sense is one based on whole foods as nature intended. Coenzyme Q10 is fat soluble and poorly absorbed. Essential fatty acids improve absorption.

The highest food source of CoQ10 is in fatty fish and meat. Our bodies produce some CoQ10, and the rest is synthesized from food. The foods that supply the highest amounts are sardines, mackerel, beef liver, beef heart, and the meat from beef and lamb. The gain fed beef that we buy in the supper markets are not the best source of coenzyme Q10. The organs of grass-fed beef have 10 times more CoQ10 than grain fed beef. If your dinner consists of wild game or grass fed beef you will be maintaining a good level of coenzyme Q10 into your senior years.

Micro-current therapy is a non-invasive technique that encourages healing. It is the use of tiny electric currents, like those similar to the body’s own electrical currents.  This brings about an Electro-Chemical change at the cellular level. This is what gives it the ability to treat chronic conditions.  Many times it can produce remarkable changes that improve the condition, including a reduction in pain, swelling, and skin tone.

It is becoming well recognized that trauma will effect the electrical potential of the cells.  Micro-current therapy is helpful in initiating chemical reactions in the cells.  Micro-currents therapy does not just block pain, it may reduce the cause of pain by altering the electrical activity.  The most intriguing part is that micro-current can increase adenosine triphoshpate (ATP) production many fold.  This is where this therapy is miles ahead of any pharmaceutical solution for pain, swelling, and discomfort.

Bioelectric currents in our bodies are usually found to be in the microamp range.  All injury to a muscle decreases ATP and causes a decrease in oxygen and nutrients to the cells.  This injury also results in the accumulation of metabolic by-products.  All this leads to a perception of pain, micro-current stimulation increases mitochondrial function, which is important to healing. With ATP replenished in the injured tissues, cells can get the nutrients they need, and remove the waste (lactic acid) materials.  Now healing can take place.

The cell is the like an electric battery, each one with its own electro-magnetic system.  With Micro-current therapy there is no discomfort, the patient does not feel anything during a treatment.  With a recharge of the cellular battery, the body can finish the healing.  There are studies that show that tissue can heal faster with micro-current treatment.  Every cell in the body can be seen as an electric generator.  We depend on the energy currents through the body for health.

In the case of esthetics micro-current is used for muscle lifting and toning, firming and cellulite treatments.  In this case the technology is used to re-educate the muscles.  Clinicians can tone and lift muscles on the face to diminish the creases that appear between the brows or around the mouth. By re-educating the muscles to stay toned and tighter, it may reverse some of the signs of aging.  It takes a number of treatments depending on the amount of correction needed.  Cellulite treatment utilizes micro-current treatment to increase circulation, metabolism, and lymphatic flow.

Frequency Specific Micro-Current treatment has been clinically proven in studies to reduce inflammation and pain.  It is effective in treating types of fibromyalgia.  Micro-Current Therapy has many applications, and as the lists of treatable conditions grow, also will the use of this therapy.

CELL BIOLOGY

Cell biology is the study of the cells make-up, and functions. Intrinsic energy is what the cells run on. The sources of electrons are unprocessed food, alkaline water, sunshine, and contact with the ground. This is all here so we can recharge our cells.

ATP

Our cells get charged like a battery. When the cell is charged it is called ATP. The cells should be At Top Power (ATP). When it is discharged, it is called ADP. The cells are ADP At Depleted Power (ADP).  It would make sense that chronic disease or lack of vitality is the results of lost voltage.

VOLTAGE

Some of the things that effect voltage are what you eat, infections, heavy metals, thyroid function, endocrine disruptors, and electrometric fields. Almost everything including thoughts affects how your cells operate.

There are things that interfere with your cells ability to hold a charge. Things that increase the shelf  life of processed foods interfere with that ability. Trans fats are thought of as a plastic. This is the reason that you will see fats that do not turn rancid. This will cause low voltage, but I would think most pre-packaged food lost most of the life force.

There is work by Dr. Nordstrom that is intriguing; he found that when you put an electrode inside a tumor; the tumor itself will disappear if you restore its voltage. Pain itself is associated with low ph and low voltage. This would tell us that for our cells to be charged we would have to take in voltage. What we call the life force comes down to voltage.

LIFE FORCE

Everything that has a life force will charge our cells batteries. Our food has been denaturalized, meaning the life force has been removed. Even our water supply has been polluted with chemicals. Being protected from nature; we have destroyed our source of power. The dawn of the new parameters of healing will be influence by the power of nature. It is vital that we can have a vision that helps us reach our goal of health. Collaborative efforts will bring a new version of healthcare.

CELLS FREQUENCIES

When someone gets sick their body is not working in a normal manner. The body now does not have everything it needs to function properly. We are not vigilant enough when we except healthcare at face value. Instruments lie, in that they do not tell the whole story. The crucial part of the diagnosis is missing. The essential elements are not disclosed, what is the cells frequencies, the body’s nutrient status etc. Getting a diagnosis has little value except to alert you that the body is out of balance

HEALING

Now if you think cutting out the messenger, or chemically poisoning your body, is an affirmation that the diagnosis is right, than technology saved the day. If the ultimate goal is a healthy and vital life for years to come, there is a good chance that the diagnosis missed the boat. The new focus in healing will be on your cell power.
