Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory Inflammatory conditions are a major source of pain, including arthritis, colitis and other similar conditions. Elixir for Life™ has anti-inflammatory activity which can reduce inflammation, thus helping reduce the progression and pain due to these conditions. • Elixir for Life™ has anti-inflammatory activity • Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) receptors in Elixir for Life™ bind TNF-α, a cytokine which controls the inflammatory cytokine cascade, effectively turning off inflammation at its source • Elixir for Life™ also contains interleukin-1ra (IL-1ra), the IL-1 receptor protein, which also acts to inactivate the inflammatory activity of IL-1 • Elixir for Life™ has been shown to be beneficial to chronic inflammatory diseases, such as various forms of arthritis and Crohn’s disease, which have been linked to gut inflammation • Lactoferrin has strong antioxidant characteristics which take place by two separate mechanisms: binding catalytic iron generated during cell destruction; and binding bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which causes a decrease in LPS bioactivity, such as increasing neutrophil O2 production • Lactoferrin also inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines • PRP also acts as an oxidative stress regulator Bone Health
attention to bone-health problems. A Datamonitor report, “Insights Into Tomorrow’s Nutraceutical Consumers,” reveals that the numbers of consumers with bone health problems increased by more than 2 percent per year in the U.S. from 1999 to 2004. This is significantly above population growth; there is a close correlation between poor bone health and age (so much so, official osteoporosis statistics only include people over 55 years old). The increased prevalence of arthritis has been driven almost entirely by population ageing. Growth Factors -- Bone and Joint Health
and bone cell proliferation and development. Of significant interest is the fact that bovine growth factors found in Elixir for Life™ are almost identical to that of human in both structure and function. Growth factors and cytokines present in Elixir for Life™ and their respective actions are as follows:

prevent or shrink cancers. Elixir for Life™ also contains milk fats which have been shown to be anti carcinogenic. • Lactoferrin prevents colon , bladder , tongue esophagus and lung cancers and lung metastasis in animal models. The underlying mechanisms are under study but appear to be related to lactoferrin’s ability to boost immune system function. • Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and other fats found in Elixir for Life™ and milk have also been shown to have anti carcinogenic properties Cancer is a class of diseases noted for unchecked, aberrant cell growth and proliferation. Suspected causes of cancer are numerous, but cell damage caused by genetic, environmental and dietary causes has been checked in studies by antioxidant compounds. In fact, the connection between antioxidant intake and reduction of cancer risk is one of the more heavily studied nutrition links, and shows some of the strongest results. Unchecked free radicals have been linked, at least in part, as the causative agents of a number of disease conditions including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and improper nervous & immune system function. A growing number of scientific and medical research studies have successfully shown that antioxidants can deactivate free radicals and thus limit the spread of certain disease states. Basically antioxidants act as free radical scavengers and thus removing them from the body before they can cause their harmful effects. One of the properties of ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™, in addition to all of its other benefits, is a source of wide range antioxidants. One such antioxidant - Glutathione - has been described as the "Ultimate Antioxidant". It is very well documented that glutathione and its precursors are present in Elixir for Life™ in relatively high levels. In this capacity glutathione and glutathione precursors play an important part in Elixir for Life™'s role in overall health. Glutathione also referred to, as GSH is a naturally occurring peptide or small protein, which has a primary function as an antioxidant. Linus Pauling was a leading advocate of antioxidants and their respective role in prevention of disease and the promotion of overall good health. Antioxidants for the most part are naturally occurring compounds that possess the ability to neutralize unstable "free radicals". Cancer cells in adults contain a large number of mutations acquired over a lifetime's exposure to environmental carcinogens, toxins, and free radicals. These substances damage the bodies DNA - the blueprint of life. Antioxidants have been shown to protect the DNA from excessive damage and help in the synthesis and repair. The cellular level of glutathione has been described as predictive factor in determining our life expectancy. Glutathione regulates the actions of other less effective antioxidants such as vitamins C & E.
Cardiovascular disease is the lead cause of mortality in the U.S. among both men and women in every major ethnic group. It accounts for nearly 1 million deaths per year and is responsible for about one in five deaths in the U.S. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. after heart disease and cancer. According to the American Heart Assn., stroke accounted for one in every 15 deaths in the U.S. It’s estimated the number of persons suffering high blood cholesterol/triglycerides will reach nearly a third of a billion by 2015.
Life™ product, which is rich in growth factors and immunoglobins. He states, “The multitude of available IGF-1 binding proteins and related proteins available in the cell is indicative of the many potential effects that the binding of IGF-1 to its specific cell-surface receptor can have on cells. Growth hormone is extremely potent and, thus, only a small quantity is required. It directly influences the generation of new cells and the repair of existing tissues. By contrast, insulin-like growth factor-1 is far more powerful and has a much broader range of effects on cell development, the control of metabolism and the derivation of energy. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and its closely related counterpart insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2), which are potent hormones that are found in association with almost all cells in the body. IGF-1 is the best described and most potent of this pair. These molecules are produced by all mammals and, in every case, have a very similar chemical structure regardless of the species. As we age, the ability of our body to create an adequate supply of IGF-1 is diminished. Thus, by eating a well- balanced diet and maintaining a constant supply of IGF-1 in our body, we can keep the ship moving at the right speed and in the right direction. And when we exercise this becomes even more critical since there is an increased demand for glycogen to provide energy to our muscles and the preference is to build more muscle protein. Even more importantly, as we age the cells in our body do not reproduce themselves as well and, since IGF-1 is a primary factor in the ability of cells to grow and reproduce, it is highly desirable to have an appropriate level of IGF-1 in the circulation through dietary supplementation to limit the ever increasing rate of cell death.” Dr. Alfred E. Fox holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University in Microbiology (Immunochemistry) and has more than 25 years of senior management experience at Carter-Wallace, Baxter Dade Division and Warner-Lambert, where he was responsible for research and development and regulatory affairs. For the past 15 years, Dr. Fox has been the President of Fox Associates, a business and technology consulting firm serving small-to mid-size companies in the human and animal health care fields. ISIS™ 100% Natural Elixir for Life™ also reduces blood pressure. An increasingly large body of evidence shows that Elixir for Life™, in particular, is an excellent heart health food, especially for those with high blood pressure. • Insulin and IGF-I (both found in Elixir for Life™) relax coronary arteries, which decreases the blood pressure in the coronary arteries • Proteins and peptides as well as other substances found in Elixir for Life™ and milk help lower blood pressure, especially when consumed with a low-fat, high fruit and vegetable diet Current research published by the British Journal of Pharmacology indicates for the first time that the adipocytokine, leptin, has direct cardioprotective properties. The research study specifically states: “CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Our data indicate for the first time that the adipocytokine, leptin, has direct cardioprotective properties which may involve the PI3-Akt and p44/42 MAPK pathways.” Elixir for Life™ is not a drug and cannot be marketed as a drug.
