Cellfood DNA/RNA

Numerous published scientific studies indicate very significant health benefits from DNA and
RNA component supplementation. Almost every system of the body has documentation of improved health, vitality, or function from providing supplements of these fundamentally important cellular elements, from infancy to advanced age.

The following is a brief summary from the vast literature supporting the many published benefits
of the components of CELLFOOD DNA.

Staph aureus is one of the most aggressive bacterial infections faced in medical treatment. It tends to cause deep-seated abscess forming infections, often associated with extensive tissue destruction, high fever, and resistance to treatment.

Surgical drainage is often required to clear pockets of infection. Without surgery, antibiotics alone are often ineffective at eradicating this invasive pathogen. Epidemics of Staph aureus resistant to all antibiotics have become a devastating problem in hospitals and treatment centers around the world.

A study in mice was performed to assess the ability of supplemental nucleic acid components to modify
the course of virulent Staph aureus infection. The control animals that received no additional RNA or
DNA elements showed a raging 71% mortality. In contrast, the animals that were supplemented with
nucleic acid bases by injection showed vastly reduced mortality to 21%.

Candida is a form of yeast that frequently causes infections in humans. If Candida gets into the human bloodstream and persists, medical complications and mortality tend to be very significant.

In experimental blood borne Candida infections in mice, the nucleic acid supplemented animals had a much higher survival rate than the untreated control animals. These experiments suggest that supplemental DNA and RNA bases given in a form with absorption comparable to injection may strengthen the body to
combat serious infections.

This is likely to occur through improved immune function, although factors related to generally strengthening the vitality of tissues may also be a factor. The very high absorbability of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA by oral spray is designed to support the immune system and general tissue vitality with a high degree of potency.

Such supplemental support can help provide an added measure of resilience to sustain health or recover
from infection.

A study in mice assessed whether RNA supplementation improved survival from an aggressive cancer.

The animals received a tumor vaccine and then transplants of a tumor cell line. The animals that only received the tumor vaccine all died within three weeks.

In sharp contrast, the animals that received a single 2mg injection of RNA after the tumor vaccine had a
40% long-term survival. Thus the support of an anti-tumor program with only a tiny single dose of RNA provided a dramatic improvement in survival and outcome.

Ionizing radiation causes intense free radical generation and molecular fragmentation; the
greater the intensity and dose, the greater the harm that occurs to all exposed tissues.
The greatest harm tends to occur to cells that are dividing the most rapidly. Radiation is
often used for cancer treatment because the tumor cells are more sensitive to radiation
than the more slowly dividing normal cells; however, all the cells in the beam path sustain
dose related injury. In a study in mice to determine the protective effects of nucleic acid
supplementation, all the animals were exposed to a very high dose of radiation. The
survival rate in the control animals was extremely low at 5%. In contrast, the animals that
received nucleic acid injections had vastly improved survival - ten times higher at 50%.
This suggests a generally strongly protective effect of nucleic acid supplements for all
forms of ionizing radiation exposure, whether therapeutic or accidental. Even persons who
use airline travel regularly may benefit from protecting their cells from the relatively higher
exposure that tends to occur at altitude.

In order to sustain health, virtually every tissue in the body must regenerate itself regularly. It is now known for example that even neurons in the brain have the capacity to regenerate. Having adequate supplies of all the nucleic acid bases may be one of the most significant limiting factors on whether a tissue will be able to express its greatest capacity for regeneration and self repair.

A study in rats looked at the ability of the liver to regenerate depending on whether or not injections of nucleic acid bases were given. In this study, the rats had 70% of their livers surgically removed. The animals that received IV nucleic acids showed liver regeneration rates that were significantly greater than the
untreated control animals.

Any tissue, in order to regenerate, requires the ability to make DNA and RNA to support the process of making new cells. Providing readily absorbed and assimilated DNA and RNA bases can be one of the most powerful ways to assist any tissue to repair and renew itself.

A wound, surgical or otherwise, results in severing the usual integrity of tissue organization. It is a special
case of tissue regeneration in which cells migrate into the area of the wound to either regenerate new tissue
or to fill the defect with scar tissue.

The type of healing depends on the tissue - the liver will tend to restore normal liver cells in the wound, whereas the skin will tend to fill the breach with scar to heal the opening and restore strength.

Several studies in wound healing have assessed the effects of supplemental nucleic acids on wound healing, especially of surgical wounds. Compared to the control group, those receiving the supplements showed
more rapid healing, greater tensile strength of the skin, and significantly reduced scarring.

Some of the tiniest organs in the body have the most profound effects on our health and
well being. These are the endocrine glands that secrete minute amounts of hormones into
the blood without which every function of the body can suffer. 

The tissues that are most susceptible to reduced function from nucleotide deficiency have
been found to extract high proportions of nucleic acids from blood. These studies have
examined the relative amounts of nucleic acid bases a tissue will incorporate if the
nucleic acids are given through the GI tract versus being given intravenously. 

The incorporation level of the administered nucleic acid bases is measured by giving
nucleic acids that have been labeled with a radioactive marker. The amount of radioactivity
measured in a tissue when it is given through GI absorption versus IV delivery then gives
the assimilation ratio of the two routes of administration. Highly metabolically active
tissues that are the most sensitive to stress-induced nucleic acid deficiency are those
that have the highest IV: GI assimilation ratios. 

In animal studies, the highest IV: GI assimilation ratios were found in the vitally important
pituitary, thymus, thymus, salivary, and adrenal glands. The measured ratios ranged from
29-59:1 for IV delivery versus GI absorption. Other dynamic tissues that showed similarly
high ratios were the intestinal lining and the lymphoid tissue of the immune system.

The pituitary gland located at the base of the skull has been called the "master gland"
because it makes hormones that control the functions of other endocrine glands. It
secretes hormones that regulate the thyroid and adrenal glands, the ovaries and testes,
and the production of breast milk. The posterior region of the gland exerts control over the
kidneys to adjust fluid balances throughout the body. Perhaps most important for
longevity, the pituitary also makes growth hormone, that has been shown to have some of
the most powerful age-reversing effects of any hormone ever studied. Inadequate
nutritional support to this gland can have devastating and far-reaching effects throughout
the body. 

The adrenal glands, situated atop the kidneys, secrete adrenaline and noradrenaline, the
fight or flight hormones. These powerful hormones increase heart rate and blood flow to
muscle so that the body is immediately prepared for vigorous physical activity. In our
ancestral past, this rapid preparation was a key to surviving in a hostile environment.
However, modern living often puts a chronic stress on the adrenal glands, the myriad
stimuli that surround us tending to keep the fight or flight mechanism constantly
activated. The result is often varying degrees of adrenal burnout, exhausting the reserves
of the gland to make the fight or flight hormones when really needed. Burned out adrenals
give rise to a chronic low energy state, fatigue, and poor stress tolerance, like depleted
batteries that fail to get recharged. These glands are especially prone to nucleotide
deficiency under chronic stress, a condition that CELLFOOD DNA/RNA can help to
restore, much as giving a long needed recharge to a nearly totally drained battery

The thymus gland, residing behind the breastbone, is often considered the organ of
rejuvenation and longevity. It is the gland in which the T cells of the immune system are
formed and given identity. Upon release it is the T cells in particular that help find and
destroy cancer cells and cells that have become afflicted with viruses. The thymus gland
tends to shrink with time, yet specific supplementation has been found to bring this vital
organ back to more youthful function. In particular, providing nucleic acid bases for this
gland with very dynamic cell turnover can significantly rejuvenate this gland and its life
preserving activities. 

The thyroid gland, at the base of the neck in front of the windpipe, produces thyroid
hormones, the main control mechanism for setting basal metabolic rate. In some circles it
is believed that we are in the midst of an epidemic of undetected deficiency of thyroid
function. Tests of thyroid function may not show overt clinical disease, but low-level
deficiency can significantly reduce quality of life. Effects are subtle and can include
generally low energy, sluggish bowel function, lack of initiative, tendency to depressed
mood, and weight gain with great difficulty losing the added pounds. Dietary iodine and
the amino acid tyrosine are important building blocks to make thyroid hormone naturally
from the gland. In addition, correcting insufficient nucleic acid production under stress will
also support recovery of a sluggish gland. 

The salivary glands reside in several pockets in the mouth. Although not as essential as
the other glands to sustain life, they provide a vital role in the first stages of preparing food
for complete digestion. These metabolically active glands also require a rich supply of
nucleic acids to maintain adequate salivary flow.

CELLFOOD DNA/RNA can thus be a very powerful tonic to sustain and boost the
functions of the most vital glands in the body. These glands set our level of energy, our
ability to respond to stress, our capacity to maintain strong immune defenses, the
hydration of our bodies, and a wide range of hormone balances essential to a high quality
of life.

The intestinal lining replaces all of its cells every seven days. Only a single layer thick, this lining is highly dependent on a sufficient supply of nucleic acids to completely regenerate itself every week.

If nutritional support is inadequate, defective regeneration of the intestinal mucosal lining impairs the
enzymatic stages of digestion, which can lead to a vicious cycle of deteriorating digestion and
 nutritional status.

In a study in young rats with chronic diarrhea, the effects of nucleic acid supplementation was tested.
In the untreated animals the intestinal villi, finger-like absorptive projections, showed a dramatic reduction
in height, like a forest that had been chopped down to stumps.

The intestinal lining cells showed a drastic reduction of digestive enzymes, the essential final step of digestion that breaks nutrients down to the building block levels that the body can use.

These animals were clearly failing to thrive.

Upon administration of supplemental nucleic acids, the appearance of the intestinal lining greatly improved, with regeneration of the height of the absorptive intestinal villi. In addition, the enzyme content and function
of the intestinal lining also greatly improved, permitting the animals to recover and thrive robustly.

Human infants also require dietary nucleotides for optimum health, development, and well-being. Human breast milk has a significantly higher content of certain nucleic acid bases than does cows milk.

Infants fed formula milk instead of breast milk have been found to have pathological intestinal bacteria
that greatly increases their risk of outbreaks of diarrhea; especially in developing countries, such
outbreaks can be life threatening.

Studies have shown that if formula milk is supplemented with a nucleic acid profile similar to that in breast milk, infants thus fed have a much healthier profile of intestinal bacteria, typical of infants that have actually been breast fed. In the nucleic acid supplemented infants, the incidence and severity of diarrhea is reduced significantly to the level seen in breast fed infants.

One of the most vital components of breast milk that confers its health and developmental advantages
over formula milk thus appears to be its higher content of nucleic acids, making a strong case for such supplementing of all formula milk.

An additional finding in infants who received nucleic acid supplementation was an
improvement in their blood lipid profiles. In particular, the infants receiving added nucleic
acids were found to have higher HDL cholesterol levels, the cholesterol fraction that
protects against cardiovascular disease the higher the level. It is possible that
establishing higher HDL levels early in life may confer an ongoing tendency to cardiac
protection.

Studies in young laboratory animals have assessed the effects of supplementing DNA
and RNA elements. Compared to control animals, the supplemented animals grew,
developed, and increased muscle mass at a greater rate. Other vital proteins were also
built more readily in the treated animals. The intestinal lining in particular matured more
robustly in the supplemented animals. Research thus far indicates that the tremendous
need for nucleic acids in growth and development is strongly beneficially supported
through supplementing these vital nutritional elements.

Cellular immunity refers in particular to immune cells that have the role of identifying cells
in the body that have become abnormal, so that the abnormal cells can be removed. The
main cellular changes sought through the cellular immune system are the development of
cancer cells or various types of intracellular infection. The goal of the cellular immune
system is to eliminate cancer cells or infected cells before they can become established
in the body to cause serious illness.

The main effectors of cellular immunity are cells that arise in the thymus gland. These
cells are often called T cells for their thymic derivation, of which there are several types
with varying functions. A special type of T cell called a cytotoxic T cell has the role of
finding and sticking to abnormal cells, then releasing substances that selectively digest
and clear the renegade cells.

Whereas cytotoxic T cells are generally active in seeking and clearing a wide range of
abnormal cells, natural killer cells have a more targeted mission: seeking and destroying
any cell that has become a cancer cell. The integrity of cellular immune function, most
especially natural killer cell function, is the first line of defense of preventing tumor cells
from establishing a stronghold in the body. Many studies have correlated reductions of
cellular immune and natural killer cell function with increasing risks of developing cancer;
some scientists feel that cancer is primarily a problem of inadequate cellular immunity.

Cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, and other types of T cells are also known as
lymphocytes. These cells are a major component of the body's lymphoid tissues that
protect us from infections and cancers of many types. In addition to the T cells of several
types there are also B cell lymphocytes whose role is the production of antibodies. Unlike
T cells that act directly cell-to-cell, antibodies are released into the bloodstream to hunt
down specific infectious, toxic, or tumor cell molecules. Lymphoid tissues that coordinate
the functions of the immune system include the spleen, tonsils, lymph nodes, Peyer's
patches widespread throughout the intestines, regions of the bone marrow, and most
importantly the thymus gland.

The lymphoid tissue and especially cellular immunity has been found to be highly
vulnerable to nucleic acid depletion under conditions of stress. In other words, at the time
of greatest need for protection, inadequate supplies of DNA and RNA bases can weaken
the ability of the body to respond to the threat. An insult or tumor or infection the body
might otherwise easily handle can escape control if the lymphoid does not have adequate
nutrition to respond.

Numerous studies in animals and humans have shown that supplementing nucleic acid
elements has profoundly beneficial effects on boosting the function of lymphoid tissue. In
part, the reason for this is that lymphoid tissue is highly dynamic such that cells that
have become sensitized to microbial invaders or cancer cells need to divide rapidly to
make an army of specifically targeted cells to eliminate the invader. A rich supply of
nucleic acids, often beyond that the body can readily make, may be required for all the
activities required for expanding the cells that prevent a minor invasion from becoming an
overwhelming infection or uncontrolled malignancy.

Published studies have particularly demonstrated that cellular immunity is significantly
strengthened with nucleic acid supplementation. Research that has examined natural
killer cell function has shown especially dramatic effects on increasing the activity and
function of these tumor surveillance and elimination cells. Improved health of body tissues
in general and enhanced cellular immunity in particular, likely accounts for the vastly
improved outcomes observed in the face of a wide range of minor to life threatening
insults.

It is not generally well recognized that forming long-term memories requires significant
quantities of nucleic acids. Especially the availability of an adequate pool of RNA is
needed to manufacture new proteins that are essential to memory function. Although
other support nutrients are an important factor, optimum memory function is not possible
without a rich supply of nucleic acids.

Many studies in animals and humans have found a dramatic improvement in memory
function with nucleic acid supplementation. Whether it is the ability to remember the right
pathway to get through a maze for a prize of cheese, or to remember facts and figures,
giving supplements of DNA and RNA elements has highly significantly increased
performance.

Perhaps most dramatically, one researcher has focused on giving nucleic acids to
persons with dementia. Even with advanced cases, if he went to high enough delivery
levels to his patients, in almost every case memory improvement was very significant. The
doctor reported that even in advanced cases of dementia dramatic memory recovery
occurred if high enough levels of nucleic acids were given.

It is perhaps functional nucleic acid deficiency that limits our potential for healthy
longevity more than any other single factor. Of all the interventions that have ever been
attempted to increase the life span of mammals, no method ever studied has been more
powerful for mammalian life extension than nucleic acid supplementation. Compared to
other techniques that have increased longevity of experimental animals up to 50%,
administering nucleic acids has doubled and even tripled the usual maximum life span.

In a landmark study, a strain of rats was used that had a usual life span of 800-900 days.
The study began with all of the animals at day 750, rather advanced in age at the entry of
the test protocol. Half of the animals were used as controls and received their standard
diet, housing, and care. The treatment group animals were given identical conditions with
the exception of receiving weekly injections of DNA and RNA.

After eight weeks the control rats looked much worse than at the start of the study, losing
fur and muscle mass, and showing reduced physical activity. In sharp contrast, at this
time in the study, the treated animals actually looked and behaved like younger animals.
They regrew fur and increased their muscle mass, had renewed libido, and were
significantly more active.

By day 150 of the study, all of the untreated control animals had died. In dramatic
contrast, the minimum additional life span in the treated animals was 850 days, minimally
doubling the usual life span of the animals. Perhaps most noteworthy, the longest lived
animal in the treatment group survived 1500 days from the start of the study.

This is the greatest life extension ever reported for a mammal; nearly triple the usual
maximum life span. It is especially remarkable because the animals were of advanced
age at the start of the study. Weekly injections of DNA effectively increased the remaining
life spans of the animals by 500-900%

It is as yet unknown whether even greater degrees of life extension could be achieved by
beginning nucleic acid supplementation at an even earlier age, before any organ
deterioration had occurred. It is likely that the longevity achieved would be at least as
great or greater.

It is important to note that the doubling and tripling of the animal's life span resulted from
an ongoing program of nucleic acid delivery. This suggests that optimum longevity effects
from DNA and RNA component supplementation requires continuous delivery of nucleic
acid bases; this assures that the major glands and tissues of the body always have the
elements needed for peak rejuvenation and repair.

CELLFOOD DNA/RNA provides the most concentrated, efficient, and cost effective delivery of nucleic acids ever developed. For cell rejuvenation, enhanced immunity, and numerous tissue benefits, the oral 
spray of this formula provides readily absorbed pure individual nucleic acid bases. 

The magnitude of this delivery is indicated by the quantity of DNA nucleic acid base elements given in 
a single one-month supply of CELLFOOD DNA/RNA - nearly double the amount of all the nuclear 
DNA in all the cells of the body.
