12 Weeks to Optimum Health is a compilation of discoveries of the secrets to long life of the centenarians of Vilcabamba, Ecuador where 1 in 64 people live to be 100+ (compared to in the US 1-7000). Walker recounts not only his discoveries but those of such notable Scientists and Nutritional Experts as Dr. Alexander Leaf - Harvard Medical School, Dr. Mark Pedersen - World Renowned Herbalist, Dr. Harvey Ashmead - Father of Chelated Minerals with over 60 patents, and Dr. Richard Cutler - Anti-Aging Research Scientist who discovered Free Radicals and launched the Anti-Oxidant Revolution. Also featured are findings from Brunswick Labs of the highest ORAC Value product in the world, ViaViente PhytoTonic® made from the ingregients from the equatorial region attributed to "Living Younger Longer." Discover how PhytoTonics are the wave of the future of nutritional supplementation in liquid form. A blend of 11 Whole-Fruit and Root purees deliver an All-Natural, Great-Tasting, Super-Anti-Oxidant, Anti-Inflammatory PhytoTonic® which has been clinically proven to reduce inflammation and pain in patients with Osteoarthritis and has been acclaimed by thousands as the "Wellness" alternative. You too can have Optimum Health in just 12 weeks by taking the 12-week challenge, guaranteed!.

Description:
We examined variability in carotenoid concentration in the gonads and eggs of four sea urchin species (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Strongylocentrotus franciscanus, Strongylocentrotus pallidus and Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) to explore the possible role of carotenes as photoprotectants. Carotene concentrations were measured in gonads and gametes of each species, while in eggs the ultraviolet radiation (UV-R) sensitivity and self-shading capacity by carotenes were calculated. Mean concentrations of carotenes in gonads ranged from 0.13+/-0.017 mg g^-^1 dw (S. purpuratus), 0.14+/-0.019 mg g^-^1 dw (S. franciscanus), 0.29+/-0.079 mg g^-^1 dw (S. pallidus) to 0.36+/-0.06 mg g^-^1 dw (S. droebachiensis). In eggs, concentrations ranged from 0.026+/-0.003 to 0.09+/-0.034 mg g^-^1 dw. UV-R sensitivity in eggs was quantified by measuring UV-R induced first-cleavage delay. Intra-specifically, cleavage delay varied significantly between individuals, and could be correlated with carotene concentration. Interspecific differences in cleavage delay and carotene concentrations were not correlated. Using the observed concentration of @b, @b-echinenone (which makes up between 82.4% and 94.9% of the total carotene concentration in the eggs) and a molar extinction coefficient of @e=13.7x10^3 mol^-^1 cm^-^1 at 334 nm, we calculated self-shading efficiency in the eggs. Self-shading capacity (J"3"3"4) indicated that the eggs could only screen from 4.6% (J"3"3"4=0.046) down to 1.5% (J"3"3"4=0.015) of UV-R at 334 nm. While not sunscreens, we suggest that carotenes can photoprotective in echinoid eggs, probably by mitigating the effects of reactive oxygen species. .

Description:
There is evidence indicating that oxidants play a pivotal role in determining air pollution-dependent lung injury. In the present study we explored the role of oxidants present in ambient particles in causing damage to the mucociliary epithelium. We explored the protective effects of pretreatment with three substances (n-propyl gallate, dl-@a-tocopherol acetate, and EDTA) on the frog palate exposed to residual oil fly ash (ROFA). The parameters analyzed were mucociliary transport (MCT) and ciliary beating frequency (CBF) after 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 120min of exposure. MCT was decreased significantly by ROFA (P<0.001), with a significant interaction effect (P=0.02) between the duration of exposure and treatment with antioxidants. The inhibitory effects on MCT of the substances tested were significantly different (P=0.002); vitamin E was similar to control (Ringer) and different from all other groups. CBF showed no significant effect of duration of exposure (P=0.465), but a significant interaction between duration of exposure and treatments was observed (P=0.011). Significant differences were detected among treatments (P<0.001), with ROFA and n-propyl gallate at concentrations of 50@mM presenting a short-lived increase in CBF, which was not observed in the remaining groups. The results showed that both MCT and CBF were affected within a short period (100min) of exposure to ROFA and that the presence of antioxidant substances, such as vitamin E (4mg/mL) and n-propyl gallate (300@mM), protected against the mucociliary impairment induced by ROFA on the frog palate. .
