ABSTRACT or SUMMARY

Three easily available biochemical tests are the best indicators of potential aging problems—DHEA, calcitonin and free radicals. The ultimate test is the granulocyte/lymphocyte length of telomeres. Biochemical optimization of DHEA, calcitonin and free radical production has been demonstrate with electrical application of human DNA frequencies of 52 to 78 GHz at a billionth of a watt and also with Transcutaneous Acupuncture of three acupuncture circuits. Interestingly, telomere regeneration has also been demonstrated earlier with the same electrotherapy and now with telomere rejuvenation is reported with the same Transcutaneous Acupuncture.

Introduction:
Ten years ago in reviewing the metabolic search for longevity, it was suggested that maximizing DHEA, calcitonin and minimizing free radicals should contribute the greatest potential for increasing the length of human life.1
According to Ronald Klatz, D.O., President of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine “DHEA is undeniably one of the most crucial predictive factors in diagnosing aging-related diseases.” Indeed, DHEA levels are significant indicators of accelerated aging, atherosclerosis, cancer and reduced immune competency.2

Although there are numerous studies attempting to influence aging by oral replacement of DHEA, there are no outcome studies that prove its effectiveness; and there are some indications that oral replacement may be harmful.
On the other hand rejuvenating the body’s ability to produce DHEA, providing one of its usual roles in balancing the level of cortisol, appears to be safe and useful. This has been accomplished by simulating an acupuncture circuit, the Ring of Fire, with significant improvement in rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic neuropathy and migraine. This option raises DHEA 60%.3

Osteoporosis is another major feature of aging, with death from hip fractures a major factor in those over 80. Indeed 61% OF WOMEN AND 38% OF MEN ALREADY HAVE SOME OSTEOPOROSIS BY AGE 50.4,5

Although there are many factors, low levels of calcitonin are major contributors to osteoporosis. Interestingly, stimulation of a different acupuncture circuit enhances rejuvenation of calcitonin.6

Finally, the cumulative ravages of excess free radicals accelerate the multiple degenerative features of aging. Activation of the Ring of Crystal reduces free radical production by 89%, far greater than any other known technique.7, 8

We are born with a significant variation in the genetic potential for our length of life. This potential is perhaps best reflected in the length of our telomeres, as measured in lymphocyte and granulocytes. The range at birth is approximately 12,700 to 8,000 kb. With the healthiest lifestyle, telomeres shrink an average of one percent each year of life. One study of heritability of longevity reported the lower limit of life expectancy for men at 75 and the lower limit for women at 85 years of age.9 There are numerous genetic influences, including the age of our parents at time of conception, socioeconomic status, diet, exercise, and mood. One specific gene, Klotho, a unique protein, has been called the longevity gene, and is interestingly related strongly to the frontal cortex center for planning and decision making.10

Interestingly, THE LONGEVITY PROJECT, an eighty year study of 10 year old children, reported that 75% of longevity was related to the single personality trait of conscientiousness11, those who are significantly more organized and responsible. This trait appears to require an optimal oxytocin receptor gene with optimal nurturing from conception through at least early childhood.12

Equally importantly, longer telomere length is associated with ability to overcome stress. Those with shorter telomeres overcome stress far better if they have low levels of telomerase, rather than high levels of telomerase!13 High levels of telomerase are also found in many cancers. (14) Shorter telomeres are ultimately associated with incidence of cancer, wrinkling, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, dementia, and chronic inflammation.15,

Unfortunately, until four years ago, the technique of electrical stimulation for activating the human energy systems to increase DHEA or calcitonin and to reduce free radicals required an hour of time daily. Then, the discovery of transcutaneous acupuncture with essential oils, allowed stimulation of these three circuits to be accomplished in three minutes or less. (16,17,18,}

Current Research:
Two years ago measurement of telomere length was done initially and then after one year of daily Transcutaneous Acupuncture of the Fire, Earth and Crystal in a total of 13 individuals. There were 6 men and 7 women, ranging in age from 48 to 90 years of age. Using TA on the Rings of Fire, Earth and Crystal led to rejuvenation of telomeres averaging 3.5% in one year, instead of the expected 1% usual shrinkage each year. Stimulating these 3 acupuncture circuits optimizes DHEA and calcitonin and lowers free radicals, while also rejuvenating telomeres.

RING of FIRE
The Ring of Fire is also for regulating the entire endocrine system, especially thyroid.

And remember you need  minimum of 1.2 mg of iodine weekly for thyroid function Thus, came:
RING of FIRE

Kidney 3, bilaterally

Conception vessels 2, 6 and 18

Bladder 22, bilaterally

Master of the Heart (Pericardium) 6

Large Intestine 18, bilaterally


Governing Vessel 20

I found that over a 12 week period, stimulation of these points with the Shealy PainPro, which puts out 75 decibels of human DNA frequency (54 to 78 GHz), 3 minutes per pair of points daily, led to an average increase in DHEA of 60% (range 30 to 100%). Incidentally, this was in addition to what we got with the progesterone cream. Later I discovered that a combination (Youth Formula) of vitamin C, MSM, molybdenum and beta 1,3 glucan raised DHEA another 50%. And, magnesium chloride applied transdermally raised DHEA another 60%. The 4 techniques together raised DHEA 250% OVER BASELINE!

Then, I used this approach on obvious “Fire” diseases, with these results:

70 % of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which had failed conventional medicine, improved dramatically

75% of patients with frequent migraine improved 75% in reduction of migraine

70% of depressed patients came out of depression

70% of patients with chronic back pain improved

80% of patients with diabetic neuropathy improved markedly in pain and at least 25% had improvement in sensory loss and reduction in diabetic meds


Unfortunately, the vast majority of individuals will not take the 18 minutes daily to use the Shealy PainPro! Eventually I have proven that a specific mixture of essential oils, Fire BLISS, raises DHEA as well as does stimulation electrically. It takes no more than 30 seconds to apply to the 12 points! Considering the large number of people suffering for the diseases listed earlier, this Ring has the greatest clinical potential of all.

Pop Quiz : Which car would you rather drive—a sedan with 200 horsepower or a roadster with 600 horsepower? The roadster, right? But what if it was missing two wheels and hadn’t had an oil change in two years?
The Phase Angle test would tell you to pick the sedan.


The New Science of Age Reversal.

 When I first conceived of the Water Secret, I was looking for the most comprehensive approach to understanding health and aging. Theories about chronic inflammation and free - radical damage, among countless others, weren’t enough for me (the last time I checked, there were more than three hundred theories on aging). In 2009 the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to three Americans whose experiments were pivotal in our understanding of telomeres, the protective coverings on the ends of chromosomes that impact cell division. The amount of telomerase, the substance in the body that builds telomeres, ultimately influences cell death and, in the larger scheme of life, aging. But none of these theories paints the whole picture for me. Certainly these biological events and substances play a proven role, but I sense that they do so within a much larger and universal context. So with every idea that has emerged on aging, in the back of my mind I continued to hear the famous words of Nobel Laureate in Medicine Albert Szent - Gyorgi von Nagyrapolt:

 “ Discovery is seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought. ”And even though I've led plenty of pioneering studies about the importance of quelling inflammatory pathways and loading up with antioxidants, I have always felt that something was missing. Like a house with a caved - in roof, it does no good to replace it if you don’t take care of what damaged it in the first place, such as termites that weakened the structure before the latest storm hit.

Now before your imagination starts seeing termites invading your body and poking holes in your cells (it ’ s not really like that), let me briefl y take you back to the events that led up to the Water Secret ’ s establishment. My discovery didn ’ t happen in the lab or in a midsummer night ’ s dream. As with many scientifi c breakthroughs, it evolved over time as I grew to understand my patients and gather evidence from them. It ’ s amazing what you can learn from patients when you delve into their habits and their personal “ secrets ”to staying young, especially when you witness tens of thousands pass through your offi ce from all walks of life. Some seem to defy their age as if by magic, while others show clear signs of having jumped too far ahead before their time. Genetics and luck aside ( “ luck ” means avoiding diseases of unknown origin and regardless of lifestyle factors), there were clear patterns among those who were aging exceptionally well and those who looked desperate for a reboot.

One patient has always stood out in my mind. When Alfred walked into my office more than a decade ago, he was in supreme health for a man of eighty - eight. He never got sick. He hiked every day, stayed active in community events and organizations, had a positive outlook on life even though he ’ d lost his wife a few years previously, and enjoyed a healthy diet that included eggs every other day. Alfred may have had good parents, but I knew that his chosen lifestyle more than anything else dictated how well he lived. He was just one of thousands who offered me insights into aging well, and I took his wisdom to heart. After all, I also was looking for the recipe to feeling and looking as vibrant as possible. Patients such as Alfred helped me to see where I could make improvements and then share that knowledge with others.

One fact I consistently observed was that my healthiest patients shared an ability to hold water without the classic “ water retention ”in the wrong areas. In other words, they were well hydrated (and looked healthy), yet they were not bloated — and they did not lug around bottles of water all day (which, by the way, was not a hip thing to do until recently; some European countries that boast incredibly low mortality rates wonder why Americans seem to have to have drink cups in their cars). My own experience as an avid hiker who continually felt dehydrated on strenuous climbs inspired me to think in this new way and experiment with ways to encourage my cells to hold more water. I theorized that the water - conserving strength of the cell ’ s membrane — its ability to keep water inside the cell (hence the term cellular water) — was the fundamental marker of health and youthful vitality. The diets of my healthiest patients, including Alfred, were rife with the very nutrients that make up cellular membranes, the outer yet permeable boundary of a cell that envelopes its interior and allows certain molecules to enter or exit the cell.

Eager to translate this theory into practice, I used my background as a pharmacist and a physician to attack the problem of cellular water loss. Of course, I naturally became my first case study as I experimented by taking various nutrients in the hopes of creating an ideal environment for maintaining the building blocks of healthy cells. This included supplementing my diet with antioxidant minerals, vitamins, and plant - based compounds; adding anti - inflammatory agents to the mix to prevent free radicals from forming in the first place; and finally, including some omega fats to draw more water to the cells. (And, like Alfred, I started to eat eggs every other day.) My weekly hikes afforded me the perfect testing grounds.

Flash forward several years; by the mid - 1990s I was sufficiently convinced that my theory had been validated by my own experience that I was eager to share it with a few hundred patients whose health needed a boost. Not to my surprise, I found that those who took advantage of my internal care program felt better, slept better, and experienced a remarkable reduction in the severity of common skin disorders such as dryness, acne, and cellulite formation. I also found that their skin had an apparent increase in structural strength and resilience that made it appear firmer, plumper, and brighter — more like young skin. And I knew, as every dermatologist does, that outer appearances reflect what is going on inside. With the help of Phase Angle (PA) technology, which was emerging to measure both cellular integrity and the ratio of water outside the body ’ s cells to water inside its cells, I further validated my theory. All living things, animal or plant, have a PA. The test that determines a PA involves passing a painless electrical current through your body to ascertain its composition, and from there to make certain calculations. Efficient, healthy cells are the building blocks of a healthy body. The higher your PA, the higher your cells are functioning and the more likely that your cells ’membranes are intact (a good thing); lower PAs are associated with cell death or compromised cellular membranes (a bad thing). So when the PA goes up, you ’ re healthy; when it goes down, you ’ re ill. The PA also goes up when you ’ re calm and down when you ’ re stressed. When you exercise more and increase your lean muscle mass, your PA goes up.

PAs have given us a remarkable window into how the body responds to changes in health — for better or worse. This explains why people with illnesses such as HIV or cancer, or those who are nutritionally deficient, routinely exhibit low PAs. As expected, PAs also decrease with age as your body loses its capacity to repair and turn over new cells as quickly as it did in its youth. The true age of a human being can be determined by the changes in the Phase Angle. In as few as four weeks, I’ve watched patients turn back their physical clocks by following my program. An eighty - five - year - old can have a PA age of someone of fifty; a fifty - five - year - old can have a PA age of someone of thirty - five; and a thirty - year - old can have a Phase Angle age of someone of twenty.

By 2000, I ’ d hired a research staff and put my theory through more rigorous testing, both in the lab and in a clinical setting. The addition of external and emotional care to my test subjects enhanced their results, and my three - part program based on the Water Secret was born. In the past eight years, we’ve treated more than two thousand patients and witnessed incredible transformations. Mary, thirty - eight, developed early - stage diabetes as an adult and came to me with a persistent case of acne. A month after following the Water Secret alongside a specific treatment for her acne, Mary ’ s blood sugar stabilized and her acne cleared. Jon, fifty - five, suffered from cysts and depression because he was besieged with the pain of rheumatoid arthritis. Three months after he adopted the strategies aligned with the Water Secret, his arthritis pain was considerably reduced and his depression was lifting. And there was Susan, sixty - six, who, like many postmenopausal women, complained of general aging and skin problems. After ten weeks on the program, her PA placed her at fifty - five years old — more than ten years younger than her chronological age. Each week took back a year of her life, which was clearly visible in a measurable reduction of wrinkles, UV damage, and body fat.
