Arrest the Aging ProcessWritten by By Bette L. Hall CMA, NHC
Arrest Aging Process by Bette L. Hall CMA, NHCThe word aging conjures up negative images in our minds of forgetfulness, restlessness and sleepless nights, and wrinkled skin with dark spots on face and hands. We no longer need to stand by and accept these things as part of natural aging process. Scientific studies show us that it is possible to enhance both length and quality of life. The length of our life or number of years we live is not important if we cannot have quality of life also. Who would want to live to be eighty or ninety years old if we cannot sleep or think right and you don’t even know names of your family members? So what we need to do is to arrest aging process. A specific amino acid, acetyl-L-carnitine, can sharpen mental abilities and stimulate growth of new neuritis. Robert Crayhon, M. S. recommends that we take carnitine and acetyl-Lcarnitine along with Co-Q10 and folic acid for improved cognitive function.

Question : MY son, 12, was found to be short-sighted recently. His reading was 1100 degree (1.1) for each eye. Is there any supplement that can help him? How about tips that he can practise on a daily basis? Answer : BILBERRY, with standardisation of 25 per cent anthocyanidins, is a potent antioxidant and possesses collagen-stabilising action and smooth muscle-relaxing properties, which also exert anti- aggregation, blood sugar lowering and anti-ulcer effects. Bilberry extract has been shown to hasten regeneration of rhodopsin (a light-sensitive pigment found in rods of retina) and improve visual acuity in dim light. Eyebright helps relieve conjunctivitis, itchy and irritated eyes. A herbal formulation containing bilberry and eyebright, with other herbs of value such as lycium, also known as wolfberries, which are rich in carotenoids, helps improve night vision and blurred vision. As a rich source of lutein, spinach offers protection against macular degeneration. This synergistic formulation will be well-suited for maintaining and treating various eye conditions, including short-sightness.
