To
understand the significance of
Bob's story, the first part is
some needed explanatory
material. Please read it first
if you are not familiar with the
NuSkin Pharmanex Scanner.
The
Clinical Study:Landmark
Clinical Study on the Pharmanex
Bio-Photonic Scanner presented
at FASEB April, 2006
A landmark study conducted in
collaboration with three major
US universities to test skin
carotenoid levels as an
indicator of the overall
antioxidant network was
presented at the annual meeting
of the Federation of American
Societies for Experimental
Biology (FASEB) in San
Francisco, California earlier
this month (April 2006).
Pharmanex® scientists
collaborated with three major
universities on this
groundbreaking research which
studied over 300 healthy
subjects.
The study results
show that a consumer-friendly
tool called the BioPhotonic
Scanner provides a good
indicator of fruit and
vegetable intake, antioxidant
nutrition, and oxidative stress
(free radical damage), making it
an accurate way to measure
overall antioxidant
health
in the body.
This
easy-to-use tool gives instant
results and is
non-invasive—requiring neither
bodily fluids, tissue samples,
nor a laboratory.
The Pharmanex® BioPhotonic
Scanner provides a personalized,
scientifically validated
measurement of how diet and
supplementation is protecting a
person's cells and overall
nutritional health. This
portable instrument measures
carotids as a biomarker for
antioxidant health. Carotenoids
are powerful antioxidants found
in abundance in many fruits and
vegetables, and they protect the
body at the cellular level
against the effects of aging and
the environment.
The Pharmanex®
BioPhotonic Scanner
non-invasively measures
the carotenoid level in the skin
of your palm using a safe blue
light and a technology called
Raman spectroscopy. By
consistently tracking carotenoid
antioxidant levels in the body,
consumers are equipped with the
knowledge to maintain a
lifestyle and nutrition habits
that will help boost antioxidant
levels and maintain proper
nutrition and health.
The Science
Behind the Study
The study presented at FASEB
showed highly significant
correlations between skin
carotids (with the BioPhotonic
Scanner) and other blood
antioxidants such as vitamins C
and E. In addition, a highly
significant inverse correlation
between skin carotids and
oxidative stress (free radical
damage) was observed. Together
these results confirm that the
Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner
is the best non-invasive
indicator of overall antioxidant
status in the body, as well as a
good indicator of overall
oxidative stress.
In addition, the study
demonstrated that skin
carotenoids as measured
by the Scanner are a convenient
non-invasive indicator of
average fruit
and vegetable consumption.
Previously, blood carotenoids
had been viewed as the gold
standard indicator of fruit and
vegetable intake. The results
also confirmed prior research
showing strong correlations
between skin and blood
carotenoids and that the
BioPhotonic Scanner test is as
reliable as blood measurements.
Bob's
story starts here:
As you can see from the above
study, skin Carotenoids give a
much more stable and reliable
reading of over-all antioxidant
levels in the body than blood
carotenoids. It takes weeks to
make a significant change in
skin carotenoids,
but the blood carotenoids vary
from meal to meal.
Bob was scanned on July 29, 2006
- just 3 days after he started
drinking Kangen Alkaline,
Ionized water. As you can see,
he got the mediocre (at best)
score of 28,000 as shown on this
scan certificate:
This scan
is permanently recorded on the
Pharmanex web site
as follows:
Our
Kangen water has two main
features or benefits....One
is its alkalinity.
The other is its antioxidant
properties.
We believe
the antioxidant properties to be
the most important by far. Our
Kangen water's antioxidant
potential can be
measured with an electronic
device called an ORP (Oxygen
Reduction Potential) meter.
There is no
machine on the market that
produces water with as low an
ORP reading as out water (-250
to -500 ORP). The lower the ORP...the
lower the
ORP - the better.
Tap and bottled
water usually product an ORP
reading between +400 and +600. A
positive reading means the water
is actually contributing to our
body's oxidative stress
(free radical damage) rather
that to its antioxidant
solution.
Bob was scanned again on Monday,
Sept. 18th at a big Pharmanex
meeting. This was seven
weeks and two days after his
initial scan.
Pharmanex people
stood and told their personal
stories of improved antioxidant
levels in their bodies. All of
them were on at least $200
a
month worth of Pharmanex
nutritional products. All of
them were seeing steady
improvements in their scanner
scores. The most successful were
also exercising more and eating
better. Not one of them had
scanner score improvements of
over 6,000 points in an 8 week
period.
Unlike the Pharmanex people who
shared their stories at the
meeting,
Bob made no diet changes,
and had not exercised at
all in several months other than
walking an occasional round of
golf.
As shown on the
certificate below, Bob's
score went up by 15,000 points -
from 28,000 to 43,000 in just 7
weeks and
2 days!.
This 2nd
scan is also permanently
recorded on the Pharmanex web
site as follows:
I doubt that you
can fully appreciate what that
will mean to Bob's overall
health over the long run. And I'm
sure, his score has kept going
up as he continues to
drink the alkaline, antioxidant
water.
It makes the
price of the machine seem
insignificant. And that's the
opinion expressed by everyone
who has purchased a machine in our
entire group.
This - to me - is
more real, scientific proof that
the Kangen water is working
miracles for me.
Bob is 64
years old, but has always
been healthy, so he hasn't noticed
any dramatic changes in my life
from drinking
the water. Bob does report
that his energy level has
been higher since he has
been drinking Kangen water,
even though he hasn't been
getting sufficient sleep.
As for
this information, Bob says,
"I felt that I needed some
hard evidence. Now I have
it!"
