A GREAT DETOX AND REBUILD FROM LESLIE

One of the most fascinating and useful supplements for age reversal and health enhancement which I came across while researching AGE POWER (published NOW in the UK) was coenzyme A. Coenzyme A is your body’s most active and most important catalyst. It’s needed to trigger hundreds of chemical reactions from the production of energy and hormones to the detoxification of dangerous chemicals. When CoA is in plentiful supply, your body is vital. When levels fall, your vitality and resistance to aging plunges. CoA also works its life generating magic in your blood and in your brain. Most important of all, adequate CoA protects your mitochondria from the genetic damage that can cause your body to age rapidly.

UNIVERSAL CATALYST

Every organ in your body has coenzyme A in its tissues. Together with polynucleotides and acetyl carrier proteins, CoA emerged from the primordial soup to provide matter with the hydrogen and sulfur based chemical reactions it needed to create life. When you have optimum levels of CoA, this makes you highly resistant to fatigue and degeneration. The problem is that coenzyme A is constantly being gobbled up by all the metabolic processes it looks after. This is why it can need replenishing.

Since its discovery in 1947, coenzyme A’s crucial importance in maintaining high level health and preventing degeneration has been intensively studied. Apart from its central role in initiating the TCA cycle, coenzyme A triggers the manufacture of a vast number of other substances that the body needs for high level health. These include acetylcholine - the calming neurotransmitter in the brain which dilates blood vessels, slows heart rate and improves digestion, learning and memory. Coenzyme A also initiates the production of steroid hormones in the adrenal glands: aldosterone and hydrocortisone, as well as many other hormones such as pregnenalone, DHEA, oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Hormones fall dramatically with age when the body becomes deficient in CoA. When it is supplied by nutritional supplement – which until recently was believed to be impossible - hormone levels often return to normal, literally rejuvenating the body.

PALEOLITHIC REFERENCES

Found readily in raw fruits and vegetables in minute quantities, pantothenic acid – B5 - is needed for your body to make coenzyme A. CoA is easily destroyed by exposure to light, heat or radiation. The word pantothenic comes from the Greek word pantos, meaning everywhere. Vegetables and fruits are sources of B5, meats fish, eggs and all animal foods are rich in CoA. The most abundant source of CoA in nature are the raw glands and organs of animals. One of the reasons why the tradition in natural medicine of using animal glandulars in the natural treatment of human illness has been so successful is likely to be because these products are rich in CoA and its substrates. Our Paleolithic ancestors got plenty. They were hunters and gatherers and, like the modern Inuit, on killing an animal, they immediately consumed the raw viscera. They also ate massive quantities of fresh raw vegetables, herbs, grubs and insects – all good sources of CoA which their bodies could then break down into its component parts through digestion, providing the cells with the wherewithal to synthesize new CoA for the body. Today, our CoA levels are low by comparison and our tendency to degeneration high.

CoA MASTER ENZYME

Here are a few of the ways that CoA protects your body from degenerative damage:

• CoA initiates the TCA cycle which produces 95 percent of the energy your body needs to stay alive and resist aging
  
  
• CoA increases your body’s ability to deal with stress and inhibits degenerative processes associated with it.

• CoA initiates the manufacture of specific neurotransmitters and hormones which play a critical role in brain health and adrenal support.

• CoA acts as the "universal acetate carrier". This is the primary biological cofactor used in important acyl group transfers which initiate the metabolism of fatty acids as well as support detoxification.

• CoA supports critical functions of your immune system.

• CoA facilitates the repair of DNA, RNA and injury to both mitochondria and cells, helping to protect them from oxidation damage.

• CoA empowers the manufacture of connective tissue.

• CoA helps form and repair cartilage.

• CoA greatly enhances physical performance.

In the mid-Nineties, expert in coenzyme A metabolism Nicholaos Skouras made a significant breakthrough in the search to enhance levels of CoA within the human body. He created a unique delivery system which enables the body to make more CoA itself within the cells. And he did this in a way that is completely natural.

Using Coenzyme Aä together with Age Power’s Insulin Balance Program can be powerfully detoxifying thanks in no small part to its ability to enhance acetyl transfer, central to the body’s Phase II detoxification processes. But, unlike a juice fast or most of the standard programs designed to cleanse your system, it does not weaken it. Coenzyme Aä and Age Power’s Insulin Balance eating actually strengthen metabolism while they are cleansing. I have experimented with it myself for several months and monitored the experience of many others who have used it. I find there is a surprising pattern of change which seems to occur. Although each human being is utterly unique, there appears to be a deep process of regeneration which occurs in a characteristic way for most people.

CoA FOR AGE POWER

Using Coenzyme Aä (together with Age Power’s Insulin Balance) three times a day on an empty stomach for three to six months at a time enhances health in surprising ways. It usually happens sequentially, step by step, something like this:

• A subtle growing rise in energy occurs coupled with a noticeable improvement in your ability to deal with stress. Life may be as challenging as ever but you feel more on top of things.

• As your body clears itself of acetaldehydes and other toxic chemicals you feel mentally clearer.

• Strength increases.

• Libido rises and with it often creative energies of other kinds. (This can be especially helpful to perimenopausal, menopausal and post menopausal women, whose many years of reproductive hormonal cycling has depleted their body energy and suppressed hormone production).

• The body gains metabolic momentum. Everything from digestion to physical movement seems to take place better and more easily.

• Mental acuity is heightened.

• A sense begins to grow that some kind of emotional or spiritual reawakening may be happening.

PRIMORDIAL TRANSFORMATION

It is almost as though the whole process of improving CoA levels on a biochemical level parallels the process of clearing and strengthening the psyche on a spiritual level described in DARKNESS INTO LIGHT through meditation, Autogenics or good binaural technology. I have yet to experience anything quite like it. It gave me the opportunity to experience within my body and my being a little of what scientists mean when they insist that metabolism recapitulates biogenesis. You feel it happening progressively within your own life.

Central to the evolutionary processes which created cellular life, coenzyme A is capable of bringing about profound regeneration in living systems. Race horse owners have long experimented with ways of increasing CoA in their animals in the hopes of helping them run longer and harder without lactate build up in muscles to undermine speed. For me the experience of what CoA enhancement brings to the body was like a personal lesson in just how all-encompassing the primordial elements which created life can be when let loose within the body.

TASTE OF ENERGY

A simple and easy to carry out 10 day’s experience of CoA’s potential is the CoA Ten Day Detox and Rebuild. You can do it while working or while on holiday – really anywhere or any time.

TEN DAY APPLE DETOX AND REBUILD

The processes involved in regeneration and rebuilding based on CoA take time to reap full rewards – a few months at least, more for some. But it is remarkable how quickly you can begin to feel the benefits in how you look and feel by combining Age Power’s Insulin Balance Program with Coenzyme Aä supplements. Take it three times a day on an empty stomach together with a good quality high potency B vitamin supplement and an apple (preferably organic). The apple is not only rich in pectin which helps remove heavy metals and other pollutants from your body, it is also a good source of malic acid which further empowers the energy-making and initiatory processes CoA carries out in living systems. It is essential you drink a 10 ounce glass of clean water with each dose of supplements. The only way to find out is to do it yourself.

HERES HOW:

On rising (at least half an hour before breakfast):

1 Coenzyme Aä capsule
