Blueberries and AIO Premium Cellular Health: A Mental Awakening

Today we will learn why Ceres Living decided to put Blueberries in AIO Premium Cellular Health. The benefits of this sweet treat are easily documented in many studies throughout the US and other countries. Research continues to support the essential need for Blueberries in our daily diet. Here are some of the important reasons why.

Blueberries have been proven to decrease oxidative stress:

In a USDA Human Nutrition Research Center laboratory, neuroscientists discovered that feeding blueberries to laboratory rats slowed age-related loss in their mental capacity, a finding that has important implications for humans. In one study, Jim Joseph, director of the neuroscience laboratory in the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center (HNRC), fed blueberry extractions—the equivalent of a human eating one cup of blueberries a day—to mice and then ran them through a series of motor skills tests.

He found that the blueberry-fed mice performed better than their control group counterparts in motor behavioral learning and memory, and he noticed an increase in exploratory behavior. When he examined their brains, he found a marked decrease in oxidative stress in two regions of the brain and better retention of signal-transmitting neurons compared with the control mice.

The compound that appears responsible for this neuron protection, anthocyanin, also gives blueberries their color and might be the key component of the blueberry’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Blueberries, along with other colorful fruits and vegetables, test high in their ability to subdue free radicals. These free radicals, which can damage cell membranes and DNA through a process known as oxidative stress, are blamed for many of the dysfunctions and diseases associated with aging.

Blueberries Decrease the risk of Urinary Tract Infections:

Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey have identified compounds in blueberries called proanthocyanidins that promote urinary tract health and reduce the risk of infection by preventing bacteria from adhering to the cells that line the walls of the urinary tract. Studies further show blueberries provide better protection than the well known fruit cranberry.

Blueberries rank highest in Antioxidant Benefits:

Compared to nearly 40 other fruits and vegetables, blueberries rank highest in disease fighting antioxidants. According to the Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (ORAC), blueberries deliver 5 times more antioxidant capacity than the nearly 40 fruits and vegetables it was compared to.

As you can clearly see this fruit cannot be left out when it comes to the health benefits it provides. This is why Ceres Living takes great pride in including this fruit puree in the amazing formula known as AIO Premium Cellular Health.

Lets take another look at the importance of AIO ingredients in the daily diet:

* Reduces Oxidative Stress

Pomegranate and AIO Premium Cellular Health: You Can't Afford Not Too



Pomegranates are an important ingredient in AIO Premium Cellular Health and today we are going to take a look at some of the reasons why.

pomegranate

One pomegranate fruit has a multitude of nutritional benefits, and its low in calories. There are around 100 calories and only about 25g of sugar in one pomegranate fruit.
It also provides:
• a great source of potassium
• more antioxidants compared to other juices and even wine
• vitamin B and C
• great source of fiber
• keeps your immune system in top notch conditions

There are numerous studies related to the effects of Pomegranate on the body systems and disease processes.
Here is a list of the most proven benefits of this super fruit.

Fights Breast Cancer
Studies in Israel show that pomegranate juice destroys breast cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. It may also prevent breast cancer cells from forming.
Lung Cancer Prevention
Studies in mice show that pomegranate juice may inhibit the development of lung cancer.
Slows Prostate Cancer
Pomegranate slowed the growth of prostate cancer in mice.
Keeps PSA Levels Stable
In a study of 50 men who had undergone treatment for prostate cancer, 8 ounces of pomegranate juice per day kept PSA levels stable, reducing the need for further treatment such as chemotherapy or hormone therapy.
Prevention of Osteoarthritis
several studies indicate that pomegranate juice may prevent cartilage deterioration.
Protects the Arteries
It prevents plaque from building up in the arteries and may reverse previous plaque buildup.
Alzheimer's disease Prevention
It may prevent and slow Alzheimer's disease. In one study, mice bred to develop Alzheimer's disease were given pomegranate juice. They accumulated significantly less amyloidal plaque than control mice and they performed mental tasks better.
Lowers Cholesterol
It lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and raises HDL (good cholesterol).
Lowers Blood Pressure
one study showed that drinking 1.7 ounces of pomegranate juice per day lowered systolic blood pressure by as much as 5 percent.
Dental Protection
Research suggests that drinking pomegranate juice may be a natural way to prevent dental plaque.

As you can see this is an essential ingredient for protecting your health and preventing many of the disease processes that may develop throughout your life span. The easy question is would you rather consume all of these fruits on a daily basis, or simply get them in 1 to 4 ounces of
AIO Premium Cellular Health?

In the day of fast food and pickup windows we are starving on the cellular level. We intake more cholesterol and preservatives now than 20 years ago as a result of these eating habits. Our body needs the proper nutrition and fuel it requires in order to maintain the busy lifestyles we live today. We also need it in a quick convenient form because we do not have the time or money to juice, puree, and blend all these fruits on a daily basis. That is yet another reason to begin your regimen of AIO Premium Cellular Health today. Your health cannot wait.

Camu Camu and AIO: The Vitamin C Response

We are now going to start breaking down the ingredients found in AIO Premium Cellular Health and show you the reasons why they are so good for your cellular health. The links will be to actual articles published so you can see the specific details noted on these amazing fruits.

Our first fruit to explore is Camu Camu. This is a super fruit grown in the Amazonian rain forest of Peru and it is well known for having a higher concentrate of Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. Although the number of milligrams of Vitamin C, which Camu-Camu contains, is low compared to the milligrams in synthetically derived Vitamin C tablets, it has more natural Vitamin C than any known botanical on the planet. Oranges provide 500-4,000 ppm vitamin C; Camu-Camu provides up to 500,000 ppm, or about 2 grams of vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit. In comparison to oranges, Camu-Camu provides thirty times more vitamin C. Camu-Camu is also a significant source of potassium, providing 711 mg per kg of fruit. Because of its food form, with Bioflavanoids, clinical evidence suggests that it is far more effective, milligram for milligram, than synthetic Vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

Camu-Camu fruit also contains powerful phytochemicals, and it is full of the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine.

Some extraordinary properties of this Amazon rainforest fruit are described by Gary Null, Ph.D., a nationally known nutritionist and researcher. In his Clinician’s Handbook of Natural Healing, (1998) Null discusses the holistic treatment of mood-support, and he lists 19 plants containing chemical compounds with mood-balancing properties, in order of potency. Camu-Camu is no. two on his list.* Other health care practitioners have also reported that Camu-Camu has same day mood-balancing effects. There are no side effects, such as photo-sensitivity or gastrointestinal problems, and it can be used safely in combination with pharmaceutical antidepressants.* There have been no reports of its interference with the effectiveness of any pharmaceutical drugs.

There is additional studies supporting the medicinal purposes and therapeutic of Camu Camu. Dr. James Duke retired chief botanist for the USDA, pre-eminent New World tropical botanist, and author of many botanical books, including the popular Green Pharmacy, lists some of these effects on his Ethnobotanical website, based on amounts of various phytochemicals which Camu Camu contains.

This fact sheet is an exact replication of these findings from Dr. Duke. In a comparative study of hundreds of botanicals, ranked in order of effectiveness for various health conditions, Camu-Camu was ranked among hundreds of herbs as follows:
  • anti-viral -No.6
  • anti-oxidant - No.4
  • asthma - No.1
  • atherosclerosis - No.1
  • cataracts - No.1
  • colds - No.1
  • depression - No.2
  • edema - No.1
  • gingivitis/periodontal disease-No.1
  • glaucoma - No.1
  • hepatitis - No.1
  • infertility - No.1
  • migraine-cluster headaches - No.1
  • osteoarthritis - No.1
  • Painkiller - No.1
  • Parkinson's disease - No.1*
This is only a partial listing. For a complete list, see Dr. James Duke’s Ethnobotanical database. There is of course the usual disclaimer on his website which warns that the information he provides is not meant to claim that any herb can diagnose, prevent, or cure any disease condition which he mentions. Dr. Duke also urges his readers to seek out a health care professional for treatment of illness. We all know that the FDA will never approve a substance they cannot control.
As you can clearly see,
Ceres Living and the medical staff of AIO are dedicated to using the best known ingredients in our products. We will continue to follow research and strive to bring you the very best in nutritional support and optimal cellular health.
As a

A Deeper Look at AIO and Adult Stem Cell Health

Our last article talked about the functions of Adult Stem Cells and how they keep our bodies strong and give us the ability to fight aging and disease. In the next issues we are going to look at the particular reasons why AIO Premium Cellular Health Supplement is vital to that process because of the ingredients it brings to our stem cells.

AIO Premium Cellular Health Supplement contains an incredible blend of the “Best of the Best” in both nature and science. AIO was developed from the studies that state certain Nutraceuticals optimize stem cell functions. As it stands in the nutrition industry, much has been focused on fighting oxidative stress with little efforts towards cell repair, once oxidative stress has been fought. The current products out there are good and they can deliver certain benefits, but they do not go to the heart of the issues after oxidative stress has been addressed. None of them address stem cell health and regeneration.

AIO Premium Cellular Health completed this effort in the industry by creating a nutritional supplement that we believe not only fights oxidative stress but continues to provide what the body needs in order to optimize adult stem cell function. We believe this unique combination is the key to premium cellular health and maintenance. This is why we are seeing the numerous success stories in such a short period of time. We go to the cellular level and address the body’s immune and degenerative issues from within. This amazing supplement supplies us with the necessary ingredients we need in order to fight the symptoms of stress, inflammation, joint pain, and aging issues. It has the ability to regulate body processes such as blood sugar and blood pressure due to the unique, proprietary vitamin and mineral enriched formula.

This delicious, all natural fruit puree is rich in potent antioxidants, which scientific studies suggest fight free radicals and prevent oxidative stress and aging, thereby providing healthy immune system defense support. AIO has been specially formulated to increase bioavailability so that it is easy for your body to assimilate. It is filled with anti-aging and cellular breakthroughs and specifically designed to optimize stem cell functions.

AIO Premium Cellular Health supplement is full of the natural ingredients the body was meant to live on from the beginning.

Adult Stem Cells and Why They Need AIO

As a Critical Care Nurse for over 16 years, our body’s health has always been at the forefront of my research and continuing education. I decided to give you some information on Adult Stem Cells and why it is so important to keep them at an optimal level. After this brief educational overview it will become clear why it is so vital to maintain and regenerate them at this cellular level.

Adult stem cells are the foundation of our body makeup. There are 2 main types that are important to our understanding of the body and the importance of its proper nutrition.

Hematopoietic stem cells are adult stem cells found mainly in the bone marrow and they provide the blood cells required for daily blood turnover and for fighting infections. Hematopoietic stem cells have been studied by scientists for many years, and they were the first stem cells to be used successfully in therapies for decades to treat blood cancers (e.g.leukemia) and other blood disorders.

More recently, their use in treatment of breast cancer and coronary artery diseases has also been explored. Visit the NeoStem website for videos on the successes of this amazing technology.

Mesenchymal stem cells are another well-characterized population of adult stem cells. These cells, also found in the bone marrow, can form a variety of cells in the laboratory, including fat cells, cartilage,bone, tendon and ligaments, muscles cells, skin cells and even nerve cells. Mesenchymal stem cells have been studied in great detail and scientists have advanced knowledge about how to grow these cells in culture.

Unlike most other human adult stem cells, mesenchymal stem cell scan be obtained in quantities appropriate for clinical applications, making them good candidates for use in tissue repair.

Mesenchymal stem cells can also be frozen to preserve them, and when they are thawed they function apparently normally, thus allowing for future "off-the-shelf" therapy approaches. Our parent company, NeoStem, is at the forefront of this research and technology. Perhaps one of the important considerations for human applications is that mesenchymal stem cells can be derived from a small bone marrow sample from a given patient, expanded in culture, and given back to the patient. This would avoid the problems associated with immune rejection of foreign transplanted cells or tissues.

There is no controversy involved with Adult Stem Cells. They are a key component to our bodies and the health of our stem cells impacts our overall health.

Adult stem cells are capable of self-renewal throughout our lifetime. The condition of our adult stem cell is a bio marker of aging. Keeping our adult stem cells at an optimum level of performance can slow down or possibly even reverse aging and disease processes.

What does this mean? Well, in addition to treating cancers such as leukemia, multiple myeloma and lymphomas – optimizing adult stem cells has now opened the doors of regenerative and repairing therapeutics like wound care and anti aging procedures.

On a more personal level, the quality and quantity of your adult stem cells can be improved by optimal lifestyle and proper supplements.

Taking AIO Premium Cellular Health daily will give you the optimal performance your stem cells need to maintain and renew your body functions. Can you imagine living life with the energy you had as a child? Would you like to sleep like you did when you were a baby? What if you never needed a pill for joint pain or inflammation again? Keeping your stem cells at an optimal cellular level can also regulate things like blood pressure and blood sugar. Can you imagine never facing these issues in life again?

AIO is recommended by the top three adult stem cell doctors in the world. In just 1 to 3 ounces a day, you can take back your health and your life with AIO. Never again will you have to take a new supplement and hope it will make a difference. With AIO, you will feel the difference in the first few days. You will know you have your life back within the first week!

The Medical Staff Behind AIO...

NeoStem Obtains Exclusive Worldwide License for Innovative
Stem Cell Technology and Applications to Heal Chronic
Wounds
May 4, 2009 7:30 AM EDT

NEW YORK, May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NeoStem, Inc. (NYSE Amex : NBS), which is pioneering the pre-disease
collection, processing and long-term storage of adult stem cells for future medical need, announced today it has signed an
agreement to license the exclusive worldwide rights to an innovative product and procedure using autologous bone
marrow-derived stem cells to promote the healing of chronic wounds.
The licensed technology, with pending patent applications, has been developed by Vincent Falanga, M.D., Chairman of
the Department of Dermatology and Skin Surgery at Roger Williams Medical Center, Providence, R.I. Dr. Falanga is also
Professor of Dermatology and Biochemistry at Boston University School of Medicine, a Fellow of the American College of
Physicians, and a past President of the Wound Healing Society, the leading scientific organization focused on this
specialty.
Dr. Falanga's stem cell product under development, Primcel, is a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) product. Early clinical
studies indicate that Primcel can be used to accelerate or jump start healing of chronic wounds. Dr. Falanga's work seeks
to develop a prepackaged product, ready for physician use in a clinical setting, consisting of three applications over a 12-
week period.
Dr. Robin Smith, CEO of NeoStem, said, "We are very pleased to sign this agreement with Dr. Falanga. Acquisition of the
exclusive worldwide rights to this innovative wound healing technology will help advance NeoStem as a leader in the field
of stem-cell tissue regeneration."
Dr. Smith added, "In October 2008, we announced that the U.S. Department of Defense appropriated $800,000 in funds
for NeoStem to evaluate the potential use of adult stem cell therapy for treating wounds suffered by members of the U.S.
military and first responders. We hope this effort will lead to groundbreaking medical findings that ultimately save troops
from amputations and immobilization from injuries sustained while fighting for our country. The award is required to be
distributed to NeoStem by October 2010 and will be in the net amount of $681,000."
"Moreover," she continued, "chronic wounds are a major unmet medical need for both civilians and military personnel. For
example, in 2003, in the United States, 120,000 diabetic patients required treatment for a chronic wound and 75,000
required lower extremity amputations related to unhealed wounds, costing the healthcare system in excess of $4 billion.
Radiation exposure, severe burns, and crush injuries of the bone are other causes of chronic open wounds. Our goal,
through the DOD grant, is to determine if there are multiple sources of autologous stem cells to effectively treat wounds,
and Dr. Falanga's bone marrow procedure is an important step in that direction. Other procedures to be explored may use
mobilized peripheral blood stem cells or VSELs, for example."
About NeoStem, Inc.
NeoStem is developing a network of adult stem cell collection centers that are focused on enabling people to donate and
store their own (autologous) stem cells when they are young and healthy for their personal use in times of future medical
need. The Company has also entered into research and development through the acquisition of a worldwide exclusive
license to technology to identify and isolate VSELs (very small embryonic-like stem cells), which have been shown to
have several physical characteristics that are generally found in embryonic stem cells and is pursuing other technologies
to advance its position in the field of stem cell tissue regeneration.

What Is AIO and Why It Works

With all the success stories pouring in, I have decided to make the hows and whys of AIO available everywhere I can. The old saying about maximum exposure on every level rings in my ears when it comes to something this important. I know the links are great but if there is one person out there that does not know how to use them it would be a loss in my eyes.

This product is truly changing the lives of those who are using it. The stories of decreases in inflammation and reduction in pain are my favorites. An 82 year old woman named Jean stated to me on the phone last week that she felt as though she was a vegetable prior to AIO. If she would sit in her recliner and try to watch TV, it would immediately turn to sleep for as many as 12 hours at a time. Can you imagine the loss of life she felt? Now she raves of walking to her mailbox at the end of the road and gardening outside for the first time in years. This is why I am so determined to get the word out folks.
