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 •

Synergistic Effects of
Cellfood and
Nucleic Acid DNA and RNA
The powerful effects of Cellfood DNA•RNA Cell
Regeneration Formula are further amplified by the
extraordinary properties of its Cellfood base. This
breakthrough formula has been utilized and studied
for over forty years, with thousands of glowing
testimonials from around the globe. Cellfood has
been shown to significantly increase the absorption
of nutrients. In the vital 30 seconds after the
initial spraying of Cellfood DNA•RNA, rapid nucleic
acid entry into the bloodstream is accelerated for
maximum biological benefit. CellfoodÕs proprietary
dibase-dipole technology creates an optimal
environment favoring the absorption and utilization
of its 78 trace minerals and elements. Highly
bioavailable trace elements are essential to support
the numerous enzyme systems in the body that require
trace micro-nutrients. Cellfood increases tissue
oxygenation— increasing the potential for energy
generation in every cell. Greater energy potential
of cells supports the ability to fully use nucleic
acids of Cellfood DNA•RNA to repair and turn back
the cellular aging clock. The extraordinary action
of Cellfood to generate nascent hydrogen is one of
the most potent antioxidant mechanisms that can be
delivered to cell tissue. The tiny size of nascent
hydrogen atoms allows them to freely and rapidly
diffuse through cells and tissues, protecting DNA,
enzymes, and cell membranes throughout the body.
Thus, the new DNA, RNA, and proteins generated by
Cellfood DNA•RNA Longevity formula will receive
high-level antioxidant protection to preserve the
rejuvenative benefits of nucleic acid
supplementation. The 34 trace enzymes supplied in
Cellfood help fill in metabolic gaps for optimum
utilization of nucleic acids and other nutrients.
Through improved digestion, the basic precursors the
cells need for energy metabolism, and building
blocks for complex molecules, are abundantly
delivered. The 17 trace amino acids in Cellfood
provide some of the most basic nutrient needs in the
body with which to build enzymes and proteins.
Combining amino acids with minerals and nucleic
acids powerfully fuels the cellular engines with the
complete spectrum of basic and essential elements
for high performance cells.

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.
