  morbidity and mortality in industrialized world!
• Decrease cholesterol and LDL
• Protect blood vessels from oxidation of bad
  cholesterol LDL
• Improve cardiovascular risk factors
• Decrease blood pressure (via inhibiting ACE
  angiotensin-converting enzyme)

  vessels)

14
Blueberries And Stem Cells

• Nutrients can promote healing via interaction
  with adult stem cells

  diabetes, arthritis, and for beauty (anti-wrinkle
  serums)
• Blueberries have shown to increase the pool of
  marrow stem cells released into the blood
• These stem cells will likely go to places with
  injury/disease and try to fix the problems

15
Blueberries And Stem Cells

• Chemotherapy destroys cells in the bone marrow
  (white cells, red cells, platelets)
• An expensive drug (GM-CSF) is used to stimulate
  the stem cells in the bone marrow resulting in
  46 more stem cells in the bone marrow
• Blueberries and vitamin D3 increase them by 62
• Blueberries and Green Tea increase them by 70
• Blueberries and carnosine increase them by 83
• GM-CSF increases stem cells in the blood by 48
• Blueberries, green tea, vitamin D, and carnosine
  increase stem cells in the blood by 68!

  resveratrol have also shown to increase stem
  cells

16

54
YJ And Cancer

• Beneficial effects of antioxidants and vitamins
  in prevention of cancer or inhibition of cancer
  growth.
• Most cancer patients are low in energy. The
  ingredients of YJ are known to improve
  mitochondrial function and therefore energy.
• Cancer weakens immune system. Berries and sea
  weeds improve the immune system.
• Most cancer patients are depressed and have high
  oxidative stress. The ingredients of YJ are known
  to improve mood and decrease oxidative stress.
• Cancer patients often experience trouble to
  concentrate. The ingredients of YJ are known to
  improve brain function.

55
YJ And Chemotherapy

• The use of strong antioxidants during
  chemotherapy is still controversial
• Some chemotherapy agents do not work as well in
  the presence of strong antioxidants (i.e.
  platinum analogs, doxorubicin, daunorubicin,
  alkylating agents,..)
• Other chemotherapy agents work independent of
  oxidative stress to cancer cells (i.e., 5-FU,
  methotrexate, paclitaxel,gemcitabine,..)

56
YJ And Chemotherapy

• Chemotherapy lowers
• White blood cells infections
• Red blood cells anemia and fatigue
• Platelets bruising and bleeding
• Ingredients in YJ
• Improve immune system
• Stimulate marrow stem cells which will turn into
  white, red and platelets cells
• Blood thinning or thickening?

57
YJ And Chemotherapy

• Common sense recommendation
• Use YJ to prevent cancer
• Use YJ up to 1 week prior to chemotherapy
• Do not use YJ during chemotherapy
• Use YJ 1 week after chemotherapy
• I recommend the use of vitamins, antioxidants,
  and most other supplements for cancer patients
  while not under chemo (cancer cells always get
  what they need and the rest of the the body
  suffers)

58
Dos And Donts

• DO NOT make medical claims with YJ since we have
  no clinical studies in humans with YJ
• DO use all the references in the literature to
  show the benefits of YJ (there are hundreds of
  studies describing the health benefits of YJs
  ingredients)

59
Summary

• YJ has the highest ORAC of all functional foods!
• Highest ORAC means highest antioxidant effect
• Highest antioxidant effect means best antiaging
  product
• YJ is the science in the bottle
• YJ is the perfect organic and natural mixture
  from land and sea
