Fw: Anti-Aging With Cellular Detoxification

[Guest guest]

Anti-Aging With Cellular Detoxification

> NAPLES, Fla.--(BW HealthWire)--June 9, 1999--Cellular detoxification is an

> integrative approach to wellness that has been pioneered by M.

Kratz,

> PharmD, of Naples, Florida. Dr. Kratz, who was the first pharmacist to be

> appointed to the Editorial Board of The Merck Manual, has been researching

> this concept for over 20 years. He is convinced that cellular toxicity is

a

> contributing factor to aging and intends to prove that detoxification on a

> cellular level will have an anti-aging effect in humans

> " We know that supporting the cell on an energetic level will improve

immune

> function, " Dr. Kratz stated. " Our animal studies have confirmed what we

> have observed in humans, that using homeovitic forms of nutrients and

> biochemicals prepared by serially agitated dilutions has a beneficial

> effect on cellular metabolism. Biochemicals, such as coenzyme Q10,

> S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and nicotinamide

> adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nutrients, i.e. alpha lipoic acid and

> tetrahydrofolic acid, in energetic, physiologic concentrations support

> mitochondrial function. " He added: " We began using all of these substances

> in a homeovitic form back in the early eighties and they have since become

> popular as nutraceuticals....It seems we were ahead of our time in

> observing that these homeovitic nutraceuticals had beneficial effects,

> particularly on immune function. "

> In addition to this innovative approach to cellular support, Dr. Kratz is

> focusing on a second area of clinical research; the adverse effects of

> cellular toxins such as chemicals and metals and how to eliminate these

> toxins. By applying the same homeovitic principle he used in his original

> work on cellular support, Kratz developed protocols for cellular detox

that

> help the body clear and eliminate cellular toxins.

> " My sense is that primary cellular toxins such as certain heavy metals and

> a variety of environmental chemicals can compromise many cellular

> systems....They bind essential enzymes, affect electron transport

cascades,

> and hinder DNA repair mechanisms, all leading to premature aging...of the

> cell and of us, " said Dr. Kratz. " So let's get the lead out, so to speak,

> and see if we can positively influence our aging biomarkers....This is the

> essence of our current research on cellular detoxification, " he concluded.

> A recent article in the Winter 1999 edition of the Journal of the American

> Nutraceutical Association chronicled Dr. Kratz's development of the

> homeovitic approach to cellular support and detoxification. It also

> presented a review of recent research in this field.

> Partners in Wellness, an integrative health care organization based in

> Naples, Florida, has assumed the responsibility of coordinating clinical

> validation of Dr. Kratz's protocols for cellular detox as an anti-aging

> strategy. Clinicians, pharmacists and individuals with an interest in this

> project may contact Reinhart at 800.801.9494 (or e-mail to

> myhart1122@...) or e-mail to Dr. Kratz at amkratz@....
