Nutri-GenX: Nutrition Evolved™


Low Vitamin D, Epstein-Barr, Linked to Later MS

  Nutri-GenX LC Pioneered the Field of Epigenetic Nutrition and Wellness

Epigenetics is the only hope that the human race has for survival today if we do not curb the epidemic rise in Diabetes, Obesity, Cancer and Immune diseases. At Nutri-GenX we have centered our research and development around Anti-aging, Anti-stress and what we believe to be the Environmental toxins that have set us upon this deadly course. We understand genetics, polymorphisms and environmental factors that make choosing the right nutritional supplement critical in today's stressful, toxic environment. 80% of the Worlds adult population today is clinically deficient in one or more critical nutrients that will have a negative impact on the quality of their lives as they age. 
 
Epigenetics "our past + our genes" carry the answers so this dismal outcome doesn’t have to happen to you or your loved ones. because you now have a choice to improve your health, your children and your grandchildren.  Supplementation is painless and by far the cheapest  health insurance in the world at only pennies a day. Why risk the misery and expense of a preventable long term Illness or nutritional disease like obesity, diabetes or cancer. These are  just a few of the preventable diseases that can rob you of your health, vitality and quality of life as you age.

The following article is an example of what we are talking about in the field of epigenetics today. Vitamin D deficiency leads to a higher incidence of contracting Epstein-Barr virus if exposed and that is linked to contracting MS later in life. That's all from a deficiency in Vitamin D.

Low Vitamin D, Epstein-Barr, Linked to Later MS




August 24, 2012 — Low levels of vitamin D and exposure to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) have been linked to the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), new research shows.
"Changes [in both] vitamin D levels and EBV immunoreactivity even 2 to 3 years prior to the first clinical disease manifestation appear to be associated with clinical breakthrough. So we are looking at 2 factors together several years before the first symptoms and signs of MS," study author Andrew Chan, MD, from St. Josef-Hospital, Ruhr-University, in Bochum, Germany, told Medscape Medical News.
Dr. Andrew Chan
However, investigators could not determine whether one of these risk factors is more important in the development of MS.
"I believe it is safe to say that both factors are associated with clinical disease breakthrough, possibly within a relatively restricted interval," said Dr. Chan. Whether they are independent risk factors that are amenable to intervention remains to be seen, he added.
The study was published online August 11 in Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry. 
 
Low Vitamin D
The analysis included 56 blood samples donated by 25 patients in Germany (21 female; mean age, 31.5 years at time of donation; 33.4 years when they developed MS).
Researchers obtained serum samples from 18 of the 25 participants after an MS diagnosis was established, and collected 39 serum samples from 25 age- and gender-matched healthy blood donors.
From these samples, researchers investigated both 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) serum levels and immunoglobulin C (IgC) response against the EBV nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA1).
EBNA1 is important for establishing and maintaining the altered state of cells following infection with EBV, according to Masaaki Niino, MD, PhD, director, Department of Clinical Research, Hokkaido Medical Center, Sapporo, Japan, who contributed a related editorial. The risk for MS increases more than 7-fold with increasing titers of anti–EBNA1 IgC antibodies, he said.
Cross-sectional analyses revealed a gradual decrease in 25-OH-D levels during the pre–clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) phase. This change was particularly evident during the 24 months before CIS (median, 47.8 mmol/L vs 81.6 mmol/L for healthy controls; P = .004).

Not an Isolated Finding
After an MS diagnosis was established, levels were strongly reduced — median, 24.5 mmol/L (P < .0001) — compared with those of pre-CIS sera (57.1 mmol/L) or healthy controls.
In contrast, IgC response against EBNA1 was increased during the pre-CIS phase compared with that of healthy matched blood donors. The most pronounced alterations were seen in the 36 months before clinical manifestation (median, 185.9 IU/mL vs 63.7 IU/mL for healthy controls; P = .002).
Reverse causality — long-standing disease processes causing changes in 25-OH-D and EBNA1 status — cannot be excluded, according to the authors.
Although the current study did not detect any direct relationship between 25-OH-D levels and EBNA1 immunoreactivity, some previous experimental data did suggest that the 2 factors may work synergistically, said Dr. Chan.
"For example, vitamin D may influence the immune reaction to EBV."
Dr. Chan hypothesized that the influence of vitamin D on EBV immunoreactivity or on other adaptive immune responses could be especially important during the interval highlighted in the study.
Larger studies are needed to address this issue, he said.
The study included only white patients living in Germany, but its results are compatible with those from other studies from different geographic regions, said Dr. Chan. "I would guess that this is not an isolated finding."


Hypothesis-Generating Results
Dr. Chan cited another very large study — conducted with samples from US military staff — that linked lower vitamin D levels with higher risk of developing MS later in life.
"However, in their study, vitamin D levels before the age of 20 [were] important, whereas we saw profound changes a couple of years prior to disease onset," said Dr. Chan.
"Whereas the cohorts can't be directly compared because of selection bias, size, etc, I believe the datasets complement one another, and that our results are hypothesis-generating," he added.
The current study combined results for men (only 4) and for women, so it is possible that the results may be gender-specific. However, Dr. Chan and colleagues addressed the issue of sex differences by using gender/age-matched controls.
The study used samples that dated back several years but, according to Dr. Chan, it is unlikely that it would be possible to track the association back any farther.
"While we were able to obtain samples up to 7 years prior to disease manifestations, many blood donor centers do not keep samples for very long intervals for logistical reasons. Most of the centers we contacted kept the samples for about 5 years. Therefore, it is very difficult to track down even earlier time points."
Among the drawbacks of the study were its limited sample size, possible recall bias, and inability to dissect determinants of individual vitamin D levels, including sunlight exposure and diet.

Need for Research in Diverse Populations
In his commentary, Dr. Niino said that the study helps answer the question of whether long-term low vitamin D levels and indication of remote EBV infection are associated with risk factors for developing MS.
"These findings suggest that the 2 major risk factors of low vitamin D level and remote EBV infection are important, especially during the few years prior to clinical manifestation."
Dr. Niino also noted that vitamin D levels — or at least 25-OH-D levels — are known to differ between races and ethnicities, perhaps because of skin color. Although it is possible that study results would hold true for other ethnicities, to date, few related data have been collected, he said. "We need similar studies with other ethnicities, including Japanese."
Dr. Niino agreed with the authors that although the study did not uncover a direct relationship between the 2 MS risk factors investigated, "further prospective studies are needed to investigate potential interactions of vitamin D level and remote EBV infection."

Dr. Chan has disclosed that he received personal compensation as a speaker or consultant for Bayer Schering, Biogen Idec, Merck Serono, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis, and Teva Neuroscience, as well as research support from the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF, German Competence Network Multiple Sclerosis [KKNMS], CONTROL MS, 01GI0914), Bayer Schering, Biogen Idec, Merck Serono, and Novartis. Dr. Niino has disclosed that he receives research support from Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan, and from the National Hospital Organization of Japan; that he serves on a scientific advisory board for Biogen Idec; and that he has received speaker honoraria from Biogen Idec, Bayer Schering Pharma, Asahi Kasei Kuraray Medical Co Ltd, and Novartis Pharma.

Epigenetics has taught us that we have the ability to can change our health today by improving our diets and lifestyles. These changes not only effect us now but they also have a direct effects on future generations, our children and grandchildren.We have a chance to not only fight disease but to eradicate it in future generations through nutrition and not drugs. This year over 24.6% of the U.S. Population either have diagnosed or undiagnosed Diabetes and that number continues to grow. It is a stark contrast to the late 1970's when only 3% of the population was diabetic. Through the modern marvels of food science we are now eating foods that may taste great but are poisoning our bodies and that is evident in so many nutritional diseases today. Isn't it time that you decided to make a change and do something that is not only good for you but is also good for the future generations. We can change the downward spiral that mankind is on if we only pay attention today.

Your Toothbrush Can't Do What CavX4 Can


Nutri-GenX Has Found A Sweet Solution to an Old Problem, Dry Mouth and the Cavities and Pain it Causes. CavX4™ Oral Spray is the newest product sensation from Nutri-GenX® and their Ora-GenX line of oral products. http://www.StopCavitiesNow.com

CavX4™ Oral Spray provides instant and long lasting relief from the pain and discomfort associated with Dry Mouth and helps correct the problems common to Dry Mouth sufferers ie. sore tongue, cavities, bad breath, cankers, gingivitis and mouth ulcers.

Ora-GenX assists in saliva production and provides increased moisture to those with dry mouth. "Tooth decay should be a thing of the past" states Dr. Martin President of Nutri-GenX® but today tooth decay in children has increased 29% in the past 10 yrs. Experts believe that too many sugary, processed foods and not enough brushing are to blame. But, that is only a part of the story.

Brushing is not to blame because it can’t address the real problem and that is the pH of your mouth. The acidic nature of our diets and the fact people eat all day everyday it is no wonder that our mouths have become nothing but a breeding ground for Streptococcus mutans a gram-positive organism that is the primary causative agent in the formation of dental cavities in humans.

Only the Ora-GenX Sensations: CavX4™ Oral Spray, Brushing Gel, Daily Rinse and Night Gel act to help correct this problem and fight Dry Mouth at its source all with a refreshing natural strawberry flavor.

Saliva is your bodies natural defense mechanism against cavities. But, what happens when your body falls short and can’t produce the saliva it needs due to age, epigenetics, prescription drugs, disease? Dry Mouth, Cavities, Sore tongue, Pain, Gingivitis, Mouth Ulcers, Bad Breath etc.  

Ora-GenX is a saliva booster and helps your mouth maintain the correct pH level which in turn fights cavities and helps to maintain a fresh mouth and breath. CavX4™ Oral Spray is all natural, fluoride-free and protects teeth in 4 essential ways.
(1) It helps raise pH levels to neutralize more acid than saliva can alone
(2) Protects tooth enamel by providing a calcium that is very close to tooth enamel
(3) Xylitol fights cavities when combined with saliva and studies show that it my help to remineralize tooth enamel as well
(4) CavX4™ Oral Spray wraps your teeth with a layer of protection helping to safeguard them from decay by using a natural biometric polymer and all natural oral moisturizers.

Use CavX4™ Oral Spray as often as needed for relief, especially at night or as directed by your dentist, hygienist or physician. Spray liberally onto tongue and teeth and spread thoroughly.  Effectively helps denture wearers and mouth breathers and smokers too. It’s as easy as Spray, Swish and Swallow.

Relieves dry mouth symptoms caused by:  Diabetes, Prescription Medications, Stress & Depression, Drug / Radiation Therapies, Sjogren's Syndrome, Vitamin Deficiencies and even helps prevent and helps to heal mouth sores during Chemotherapy.

Ora-GenX is the latest product evolution in the Epigenetic Wellness field created and pioneered by Nutri-GenX® and Dr. Martin over the past decade.

Epigenetics is the scientific field of study that deals with our common X Factor Epigenetic Chromosomes and our current environment and how we as a species are being effected through the rapid changes that we have created to that environment. Many people fear that those factors are the underlying reason that diseases/conditions like; Autism, Diabetes, Dementia, Parkinson's and many auto immune disorders have been growing at alarming rates over the past 20 years.

According to the US Government statistics in the 1970‘s 3% of the US population had diabetes and in 2011 28.6% of the US population is either diagnosed or undiagnosed with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

This trend in now spanning the world throughout cultures once thought to be immune to such diseases due to the rarity seen in their various ethnic haplogroups.

Epigenetic Diet


Dec 6, 2010 | By Heather Hitchcock

Epigenetics is the view in how cancer and other genetic diseases are associated with your diet. Diet plays an important role in your genetic make-up that begins before you are born. What you eat during your lifetime, what your mother eats during her pregnancy -- even what your grandparents eat -- can all play a role in your health and lifespan.

Epigenetics

Following an epigenetics diet is believed to alter metabolic genes responsible for determining your risks for diseases such as cancer, obesity, heart disease and diabetes. According to the University of Utah, nutrients extracted from food enter into metabolic pathways, where they are manipulated, modified and molded into molecules the body can use. The methyl groups are one of the pathways that silence genes responsible for metabolic diseases.

Nutrients

Nutrients that are necessary for altering metabolic pathways include folic acid, B vitamins, choline and methionine. Consuming a diet high in fish, nuts, seeds, whole grains, eggs, dairy, lean meats and vegetables can help decrease disease risk. According to Oregon State University's Rod Dashwood, a professor of environmental and molecular toxicology and head of LPI's Cancer Chemoprotection Program, "The traditional view of cancer is that genetic damage and DNA mutations occur, in ways that can turn off key genes and our natural defense mechanisms against cancer." For example, the epigenetic role for garlic is to increase histone acetylation, which is responsible for turning on anticancer genes.

Fiber

A diet high in fiber increases the histone acetylation, which turns on the genes responsible for increasing lifespan, according the University of Utah. Butyrate is the compound produced in the intestines when fiber is fermented. Beneficial fiber sources may come from oatmeal, whole-grain rice, pasta or breads or fruits and vegetables.

Red Wine

Drinking red wine may reduce your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The antioxidant resveratrol in red wine may reduce bad cholesterol, prevent blood clots and reduce inflammation. Studies involving lab mice have shown the component in red wine, resveratrol, is responsible for removing acetyl groups from histones, which may improve your overall health when consumed in moderation, according to the University of Utah.

Diet Through Generations

While what you eat during your lifetime is important, so is what your mother ate during pregnancy as well as what your grandparents ate. A study published in "Diabetes" in November 2008, by Josep Jimenez-Chillaron, found low birth weight is associated with increased risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease during adult life, and may pass on such disease risk to future generations.

Drug-Induced Diseases

Prevention, Detection and Management

The effects of drugs, however, are not always entirely beneficial. Although they may treat or cure they are not always with out the risk of causing and or exacerbating those diseases that already exist. Every year a number of drug are withdrawn from the market as a result of morbidity and mortality associated with drug-induced diseases. Despite the best effort to drugs that are safe and effective, drug-induced diseases develop in millions or people each year.

Over the course of the next few weeks I will investigate some of these drugs and the drug-induced diseases that they cause.
Here are a few of the topics I will cover:
  1. The magnitude and significance of of Drug-Induced Diseases and the impact on the public health.
  2. Drug Allergies
  3. Lupus
  4. Neurological Diseases
  5. Psychiatric Diseases
  6. Cardiovascular Diseases
  7. Endocrine Diseases including weight gain, sexual dysfunction and temperature deregulation.
If there are any topics you would like me to consider just drop me a line.www.the-xfactor.com
