REDUCTION OF FREE RADICALS FOR HEALTH ENHANCEMENT

Daily intake of fruits and vegetables by Americans is lower than recommended for optimal health. To date, fruit and vegetable intake has been the only dietary method for reducing free radicals. Free radical reduction is a key to improvement in health and longevity. In an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved study, free radical production was decreased in 80% of 36 test subjects who ingested 2 oz daily of fruit concentrate, Mistica®

INTUITION, NEUROTENSIN AND THE RING OF AIR

Neurotensin may be a major marker for states of increased mental lucidity, the states in which holographic awareness is enhanced. Stimulating 13 specific acupuncture points, which we have identified as the Ring of Air, using a stimulus of 54 to 78 billion cycles per second (GigaHz) at 1 billionth of a watt per centimeter squared, coupled with stimulation by the Liss TENS on weekends, raises neurotensin levels up to five fold

REDUCTION OF FREE RADICALS BY ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF SPECIFIC ACUPUNCTURE POINTS

Thirty individuals with posltlve urinary tests for malondialdehyde, a major marker for free radicals, used one of two types of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators for two to four days on thirteen acupressure points, the Ring of Crystal. There was a significant reduction of free radicals after two to four days of stimulation. The potential anti-aging and health enhancement benefits of this approach are worthy of further study

EEG ALTERATIONS DURING ABSENT "HEALING"

Five separate individuals who regard themselves as healers or spiritual healers, in a time controlled situation, were asked to send healing energy to a total of 110 subjects who were located from 100 feet to 160 miles from the healer. In all instances, there were moderate to quite striking changes in the subject's EEG usually occurring within the first five minutes of the sending of healing energy, bur sometimes appearing most dramatic twenty minutes after the completion of the healing. Almost always there was a marked increase in delta activity in all areas of the brain with less significant increases in theta and alpha activity. In 50 of the subjects, the healer was directed to send energy initially either to the frontal or occipital area and then later to reverse the intended area of the brain. In these cases, there was a much greater increase of brain wave activity in the part of the brain to which the healers' energy was directed, although most of the time the increased healing energy also affected other lobes of the brain. It appears that human mental intent to heal, especially by trained healers, is transmitted through space from over 100 feet to 160 miles

WDR11, a WD Protein that Interacts with Transcription Factor EMX1, Is Mutated in Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism and Kallmann Syndrome

By defining the chromosomal breakpoint of a balanced t(10;12) translocation from a subject with Kallmann syndrome and scanning genes in its vicinity in unrelated hypogonadal subjects, we have identified WDR11 as a gene involved in human puberty. We found six patients with a total of five different heterozygous WDR11 missense mutations, including three alterations (A435T, R448Q, and H690Q) in WD domains important for β propeller formation and protein-protein interaction. In addition, we discovered that WDR11 interacts with EMX1, a homeodomain transcription factor involved in the development of olfactory neurons, and that missense alterations reduce or abolish this interaction. Our findings suggest that impaired pubertal development in these patients results from a deficiency of productive WDR11 protein interaction
