 Cellfood DNA.RNA Cell Regeneration Formula Articles
Methyl Groups, Lowered Homocysteine Levels
and Longevity
To make Cellfood DNA.RNA an ultimate anti-aging formula, it was formulated to provide clinically tested nutrients that can reverse the aging clock at the DNA level. These nutrients have also been shown to protect and repair DNA and prevent DNA mutations, thus reducing health risks and preserving cells at a more youthful level.
Perhaps the primary mechanism of aging in the cells is the loss of DNA markers called methyl groups (also known as CH3). Aging is regulated and programmed by the gradual loss of methyl groups from DNA. When 40% of the methyl groups are lost, degenerative death typically occurs.
All of the factors known to cause aging accelerate the loss of methyl groups from DNA. Stress, poor nutrition, poor vitamin intake, low exercise, environmental toxins, smoking and radiation- all accelerate methyl group loss. Any intervention that slows, stops, and reverses the loss of methyl groups from DNA is, in turn, slowing, stopping, and even reversing aging. Cellfood DNA.RNA provides the most powerful nutrient factors for improving DNA methylation ever studied.
The most sensitive test for determining the rate of methyl group loss from DNA measures a blood chemical called homocysteine. The higher the homocysteine level, the greater the rate of methyl group loss from DNA. Levels of homocysteine in teenagers is between 4-6, and tends to rise 1-2 points per decade, such that at 60-70 years of age, the level is typically 12-15 or higher.
Elevated homocysteine is linked to a wide array of health risks. Above a level of 6.3, for example, cardiac risk rises exponentially, with a level of 15 carrying a risk four times greater- and a level of 20 carrying a risk nine times greater- than for the general population.
Perhaps the single most powerful homocysteine-lowering nutrient is trimethylglycine, or TMG. This molecule has three methyl groups to donate, hence the prefix trimethyl. It is also known as betaine because it is a natural substance derived from sugar beets.
Previous research has shown that high dose betaine can reduce the risk of mortality the first year after a heart attack from 25% to 0%. In addition, high dose betaine in conjunction with vitamin cofactors has been the only intervention that has permitted women with genetically high homocysteine levels to conceive and deliver normally. In other persons with high homocysteine, adding betaine has reversed neurologic defects and caused gray hair to darken and lost hair to regrow.
Laser treatment of betaine has shown dramatic molecular effects that favor greater biological activity. Crystals grown using Dr. Ovokaitys' method show a very high level of homogeneity compared to the irregularities and defects in the control crystals. Homogeneity reduces the energy needed by enzymes to make the desired end-products.
In a clinical study, the formula for boosting methyl group transfers and reducing homocysteine contained laser treated betaine as the main component. In addition, laser treated vitamin cofactors that are known to support these pathways were also included, particularly vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid. Niacin was also included to boost fat metabolism for further cardiovascular support.
The treatment group received increasing doses of the laser enhanced methylation formula over a 3-month period of time, whereas the placebo group received only sugar pills. Subjects had blood drawn every month for homocysteine levels, blood counts, and other metabolic tests. Subjects completed daily written reports and each week completed a standardized survey.
By the the study's completion , the treatment group showed dramatic metabolic improvements not seen in the placebo group. Homocysteine levels for the treatment group started at about double the cardiac risk of the general population, and by the end of the study was reduced to risk values less than the general population. The reduction at every dosage level was highly statistically significant, and the overall homocysteine reduction for the group suggested a 20-30 year physiological reduction in aging.
The placebo control group showed no significant change in homocysteine levels. The study demonstrated that the laser enhanced methylation formula was the essential factor in significantly lowering homocysteine and thereby improving methyl group transfer.
In addition to reduced homocysteine, the treated subjects also showed significant improvement of several clinical symptoms: . Reduced anxiety . Decreased body aches and pains . Elevation of mood . Reduced hostility . Decreased paranoia and obsessive-compulsive scales . Much decreased global symptom profile (all symptoms taken together in one comprehensive score).
Beyond this specific study, thousands of published scientific studies related to the components of this formula also suggest the following benefits: . Increased SAM-e and serotonin . Balance of neurotransmitter chemistry in the brain . Increased melatonin with immunologic, anti-aging, and antioxidant effects . Regeneration and repair of insulating myelin nerve sheaths . Rejuvenating degenerating proteins into functional proteins . Required for full antioxidant potency of antioxidant proteins in every cell and tissue . Repair of joints and cartilage . Improved histamine clearance . Detoxification in the liver

Individual DNA Bases vs. DNA Chains
It is important to make the distinction between chains of DNA and individual bases of DNA. DNA chains are long strands of individual bases strung together into a double helix that may have over 10 million bases linked together in a single huge molecule. Intact DNA strands provide a linear code for the production of proteins and enzymes. Therefore chains of DNA bases are information-containing and have potential for influencing DNA information in the cell nucleus. Chains of DNA require extensive digestion to extract individual bases, resulting in poor absorption and in only a small fraction of the bases being usable. In contrast, the individual bases of DNA do not give sequence information. They are simply building blocks, much as the letters of the alphabet are the building blocks for words. Their small molecular size makes them highly and rapidly absorbable, greatly increasing their ability to be assimilated and used in cells and tissues throughout the entire body. They are nutritional and not informational. They are very safe and help the body repair and rebuild the DNA and RNA needed for health and cell regeneration. The Cellfood DNA.RNA Cell Regeneration Formula contains only the individual bases of DNA and RNA for safety and high absorption and utilization.

ATP-The Essential Electrochemical Fuel
for All of the Body's Functions
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is perhaps the most important of all the nucleic acid derivatives in the body. Its effects are powerful and essential to cellular function. Cellfood DNA.RNA Longevity formula has an especially rich supply of ATP in a highly bioavailable form. ATP is the fundamental energy 'currency' of every cell in the body. Virtually every bodily activity that requires energy uses ATP as the source of power. Whether the function is creating complex molecules, maintaining the electric potential of cell membranes, or allowing muscle fibers to contract for mobility, speed, and strength, it is ATP that provides the electrochemical fuel.
Cellular Energy
The most efficient production of ATP occurs through aerobic metabolism in the mitochondria- (aerobic means that oxygen is used to completely burn a fuel for maximum ATP production). When glucose is broken down through anaerobic metabolism (without oxygen), each molecule of glucose gives rise to only 2 molecules of ATP, wasting 95% of the potential energy. But because Cellfood boosts cellular oxygen delivery, the ATP in Cellfood DNA.RNA has an ideal environment for further boosting cellular energy conditions. Thus, the complete combustion of that same glucose molecule to carbon dioxide and water yields a rich harvest of 36 molecules of ATP!
Neurological Effects
ATP is the primary fuel that drives learning, memory, and concentration functions. ATP is essential to maintain the membrane potentials that permit nerves to integrate and transmit signals throughout the central and peripheral nervous system.
Cardiac Strengthening
The cyclic contraction of cardiac muscle is highly ATP-intensive and thrives on aerobic metabolism. The combined oxygenation and ATP delivery effects of Cellfood DNA.RNA provide the heart with an enhanced energy supply for efficient function.
Muscle Performance
Skeletal muscle requires abundant quantities of ATP for muscular contraction. Supplemental ATP has been described as an explosive performance enhancer. When given with two other nutrient supporters of muscle function- creatine monohydrate and creatine pyruvate- muscle endurance, performance, and recovery can be significantly boosted.
Lung Function
ATP administration has been shown to have numerous beneficial effects on lung function, particularly the delicate lining membranes of the airways and alveoli. In the lung, branching tubes called bronchi and bronchioles deliver air to and from the tiny air sacs called alveoli. The alveoli form a large membrane only a single cell in thickness through which capillary blood can pick up a new supply of oxygen and unload carbon dioxide with every breath. Research has shown that ATP increases secretion of surfactant in the alveoli. Surfactant is an essential substance that keeps the alveoli from collapsing when the breath is exhaled, preserving breathing integrity. Bronchial tubes are lined with tiny brush like structures called cilia that are constantly sweeping particulates that get into the lung upward and outward. ATP not only increases the ciliary beat frequency, it also increases the secretion of mucus and water from the bronchial lining, to help keep the lungs clear at all times.
Sexual Function
Containing both ATP and adenosine, Cellfood DNA.RNA provides these elements known to support optimum sexual function. Whether it is delivering the nutrients to repair and preserve the health of tissues, or boosting energy and performance, Cellfood DNA.RNA is designed to enhance quality of life across the board.

Cell Tissue Regeneration, HDL Cholesterol Levels
and Intestinal Health
Cell Tissue Regeneration
In order to sustain health, virtually every tissue in the body must regularly regenerate itself . It's now known 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. 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.
HDL Cholesterol Levels
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.
Intestinal Integrity and Nucleic Acid
The intestinal lining replaces its cells every 7 days. Only a single layer thick, this lining is dependent on a sufficient supply of nucleic acids to completely regenerate itself every week. If nutritional support is inadequate, degenerated regeneration of the intestinal lining impairs the enzymatic stages of digestion, leading to poor digestion. Infants also require dietary nucleotides for optimum health and development. Human breast milk has a significantly higher content of nucleic acid bases than cows milk. Infants fed formula milk instead of breast milk have been found to have intestinal bacteria that greatly increases risk of outbreaks of diarrhea. Studies show that if formula milk is supplemented with nucleic acid similar to that in breast milk, infants have a much healthier profile of intestinal bacteria. In nucleic acid supplemented infants, the incidence and severity of diarrhea is reduced significantly to levels of breast fed infants. A vital component of breast milk that confers its health advantages over formula milk thus appears to be its higher content of nucleic acids.
