ACUPUNCTURE : 4 ACUPUNCTURE Definition Hieroglyphs and pictographs have been found dating from the Shang Dynasty (1600-1100 BC) Stone and Bone needles were replaced by metal in 200 BC In Europe, examinations of the 5,000 year old mummified body of “Otzi the Iceman” have identified 15 groups of tattoos on his body, some of which are located on what are now seen as contemporary acupuncture points. ACUPUNCTURE : 5 ACUPUNCTURE How does it work According to Chinese medicine, acupuncture and acupressure work by restoring balance throughout the body It also increases the amount of the life force, known as “chi” in your body, thus restoring overall health Western scientists are not entirely sure how acupuncture and acupressure works It is believed that acupuncture may actually block pain impulses from reaching the brain and increase the level of endorphins in the body, thereby minimizing pain In particular, acupuncture seems to increase serotonin, endomorphin-1, beta-endorphin, and encephalin, all of which are chemicals that work to reduce pain ACUPUNCTURE●Classical texts describe most of the main acupunture points as existing on the twelve main and two extra meridians (also referred to as mai) for a total of fourteen “channels” through which qi and Blood flow. : 6 ACUPUNCTURE●Classical texts describe most of the main acupunture points as existing on the twelve main and two extra meridians (also referred to as mai) for a total of fourteen “channels” through which qi and Blood flow. ACUPUNCTURE : 7 ACUPUNCTURE Meridians One commonly cited source describes meridians as 14 main channels “connecting the body in a weblike interconnecting matrix” of at least 2,000 acupuncture points. ACUPUNCTURE : 8 ACUPUNCTURE Definition Acupuncture is a Chinese therapy used for centuries to treat pain and other health conditions It involves the practice of placing thin, sterile needles into the skin at specific points called meridians According to acupuncture philosophy, acupuncture affects the chi, or flow of energy through these meridians If the chi is blocked, illness arises The needles interact with our nervous system, unblocking the flow of energy which in turn triggers chemicals in our body that affect our mood, pain perception and immune response. ACUPUNTURE : 9 ACUPUNTURE Clinical Trials In a study performed by the Mayo Clinic, acupuncture was found to be helpful in alleviating fibromyalgia pain. Mayo’s study involved 50 fibromyalgia patients enrolled in a randomized, controlled trial to determine if acupuncture improved their symptoms Patients received six treatments over a two to three week period Symptoms of patients who received acupuncture significantly improved compared with the control group, according to the study published in the June issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. ACUPUNTURE : 10 ACUPUNTURE United States Usage In the 1970s, acupuncture became better known after an article appeared in The New York Times by James Reston, who underwent an emergency appendectomy while visiting China. While standard anesthesia was used for the actual surgery, Mr. Reston was treated with acupuncture for post-operative discomfort The first acupuncture clinic in the United States is claimed to have been opened by Dr. Yao Wu Lee in Washington, D.C. on July 9, 1972 The Internal Revenue Service allowed acupuncture to be deducted as a medical expense beginning in 1973. ACUPUNCTURE : 11 ACUPUNCTURE Neurohormonal theory Some studies suggest that the analgesic action of acupuncture is associated with the release of natural endorphins in the brain This effect can be inferred by blocking the action of endorphins (or morphine) using a drug called naloxone When naloxone is administered to the patient, the analgesic effects of morphine can be reduced, causing the patient to feel a more appropriate level of pain When naloxone is administered to an acupunctured patient, the analgesic effect of acupuncture can also be reversed, causing the patient to report an increased level of pain. ACUPUNCTURE : 12 ACUPUNCTURE Adverse events A survey of adverse events related to acupuncture gave rates of 671 minor adverse events per 10,000 treatments, and no major ones Another survey found that out of 3535 treatments, 402 resulted in minor adverse events including Bleeding Bruising Dizziness Fainting Nausea Paresthesia increased pain and in one aphasia. ACUPUNCTURE : 13 ACUPUNCTURE Other injury : Nerve injury, resulting from the accidental puncture Brain damage or stroke, possible with deep needling Pneumothorax from deep needling into the lung Kidney damage from deep needling in the low back Haemopericardium, or puncture of the protective membrane surrounding the heart With unsterilized needles: transmission of infectious diseases ACUPUNCTURE : 14 ACUPUNCTURE Definition A poll of American doctors in 2005 showed that 59% believe acupuncture was at least somewhat effective. The United States Food and Drug Administration changed the status of acupuncture needles from Class III to Class II medical devices, meaning that needles are regarded as safe and effective when used appropriately by licensed practitioners.

Rowe Pharm D. www.lifewveleaders.com866-691-9486Pain IceWave Slide 35: 35 PAIN : 36 PAIN Definition Pain is an unpleasant and aversive feeling Stubbed toe, a headache, a burnt finger, salt in a wound are examples Pain is characterized by its intensity, location and duration It is initiated by stimulation of nociceptors in the peripheral nervous system It is also initiated by damage to or malfunction of the peripheral or central nervous systems. Slide 37: 37 Slide 38: 38 PAIN : 39 PAIN Definition The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.” PAIN : 40 PAIN Definition Widely employed in nursing, “Pain is whatever the experiencing person says it is, existing whenever they say it does”. PAIN : 41 PAIN Definition Pain is a major symptom in many medical conditions, interferes with a person’s quality of life and general functioning It is the single most frequent reason for physician consultation in the United States. Slide 42: 42 PAIN : 43 PAIN Types of Pain – Sharp, Dull, Referred Superficial somatic pain (or cutaneous pain) is caused by injury to the skin or superficial tissues. Cutaneous nociceptors terminate just below the skin and, due to a high concentration of nerve endings, produce a sharp, well-defined, localized pain of short duration Deep somatic pain originates from ligaments, tendons, bones, blood vessels, fasciae, and muscles. The scarcity of pain receptors in these areas produces a dull, aching, poorly-localized pain of longer duration than cutaneous pain; examples include sprains, broken bones, and myofascial pain Visceral pain originates from the viscera, or organs. Visceral nociceptors are located within body organs and internal cavities. Visceral pain may be well-localized, but often it is extremely difficult to localize, and several injuries to visceral tissue exhibit “referred” pain Slide 44: 44 Slide 45: 45 PAIN : 46 PAIN Pain Receptors All nociceptors or pain receptors are free nerve endings of slow-conducting, thinly myelinated A delta fibers or even slower-conducting, unmyelinated C fibers Once stimulated, they transmit signals that travel to the spinal cord and up to and within the brain The brain contains no nociceptors, and hence cannot sense pain inside itself. PAIN : 47 PAIN Acute vs Chronic Acute pain can last a few seconds or a few months but not more than six months. It lets the body know damage has occurred and something needs to be done to make it better. As healing of the injured areas occurs, the pain will normally decrease and eventually go away Chronic pain is pain that lasts for more than six months. It is also known as persistent pain. It can be malignant, getting worse as the source of the pain worsens (as a tumor grows in cancer). It can also be non-malignant as in a chronic illness such as arthritis. It can fluctuate over time with periods of severe pain followed by periods of no pain at all. Pain that does not stop when an injury is healed is also called chronic pain. Pain is not a normal part of aging and should be considered abnormal, and treated and ameliorated at any age Slide 48: 48 PAIN : 49 PAIN Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on characterizing pain in various ways, according to duration, intensity, type (dull, burning, throbbing or stabbing), source, or location in body. PAIN : 50 PAIN Description Typical descriptions of pain quality include sharp, stabbing, tearing, squeezing, cramping, burning, lancinating (electric-shock like), or heaviness. It may be experienced as throbbing, dull, nauseating, shooting or a combination of these. Inflammatory pain is commonly associated with some degree of itch sensation. Slide 51: 51 PAIN : 52 PAIN Description Pain may range in intensity from slight through severe to agonizing and can appear as constant or intermittent. Slide 53: 53 PAIN : 54 PAIN Definition A survey of American adults found pain was the most common reason that people use complementary and alternative medicine.

Rowe Pharm D. www.lifewaveleaders.com866-691-9486Energy Energy Enhancer ENERGY : 71 ENERGY Definition Energy is a scalar physical quantity ENERGY : 72 ENERGY Definition Describes the amount of work that can be performed by a force Different forms of energy include kinetic, potential, thermal, gravitational, sound, light, elastic, and electromagnetic energy. Any form of energy can be transformed into another form ENERGY : 73 ENERGY Definition Energy is said to be stored by cells Energy is stored as carbohydrates (including sugars) and lipids/fats Energy is released when molecules react with oxygen ENERGY : 74 ENERGY Definition Not all energy is converted into work ATP is used as a sort of “energy currency” ATP is converted into ADP and energy is released At each stage of the metabolic pathway, some chemical energy is converted into heat Slide 75: 75 ENERGY : 76 ENERGY Definition Energy is derived from the foods we consume.The average adult needs 1500 to 2000 calories per day to maintain function Energy comes mostly from carbohydrates and fats Food molecules are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water in the mitochondria Some of the food energy is used to convert ADP into ATP. ENERGY : 77 ENERGY Definition Human equivalent energy assumes an average human energy expenditure of 12,500kJ per day and a basal metabolic rate of 80 watts. For examples, if our bodies run (on average) at 80 watts, then a light bulb running at 100 watts is running at 1.25 human equivalents (100 ÷ 80) i.e. 1.25 H-e. For a difficult task of only a few seconds’ duration, a person can put out thousands of watts—many times the 746 watts in one official horsepower For tasks lasting a few minutes, a fit human can generate perhaps 1,000 watts For an activity that must be sustained for an hour, output drops to around 300; for an activity kept up all day, 150 watts is about the maximum.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) Also known as Wittmaack-Ekbom’s syndrome Characterized by an irresistible urge to move the body muscle when at rest in an effort to relieve these feelings Anxiety and depression are often associated with RLS About 80% of people with RLS also suffer from periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) Patients complaint that the uncomfortable sensations are indescribable Prickly, tingly, painful, creeping/ tugging/insects crawling inside the legs SLEEP : 95 SLEEP Classification of Rest Legs Syndrome Primary RLS: is considered idiopathic. This type of RLS begins approximately at the age of 40 to 45 and it may get worse as the person ages Secondary RLS: has a sudden onset and may be daily. It occurs more often in people at the age of 40 or earlier. Genetic factors Iron Deficiency (anemia) Kidney disease Parkinson’s disease Pregnancy Thyroid problems Sleep apnea or narcolepsy Trouble with the nerves in the hands or feet Alcoholism, tobacco and smoking Antidepressant drugs for example amitriptyline,paroxetine, H2 blockers, lithium, beta-blockers and antipsychotics SLEEP : 96 SLEEP Risk Factors of RLS & PLMD Family history: Two-Third of people with RLS has a family history of the disorder Risk factors such Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) Varicose veins Obesity Diabetes Hypertension Fibromyalgia (chronic pain of unknown cause) Hypothyroidism (thyroid gland doesn’t make enough hormones) Rheumatoid arthritis Emphysema (a lung disease caused by smoking) Chronic headaches Chronic alcoholism Brain and spinal injuries. SLEEP : 97 SLEEP Sleep and the Immune System Cytokines Group of protein produced by white blood cells Function as mediators between the immune system and the central nervous system. Cytokines are influenced by the circadian rhythm, and concentrations increase during night Among these cytokines, interleukin-1B (IL-1) and TNF-a (TNF) function as sleep-promoters causing sleepiness, fatigue and induces NREM sleep. SLEEP : 98 SLEEP Sleep’s Fight Against Infection Neurons that control sleep interact closely with the immune system Cytokines are the mediators for inflammation to fight off bacterial and viral infection Increased sleep during infection is thought to be influenced by these cytokines Sleep may help the body conserve energy and other resources that the immune system needs to mount an attack During acute infection, NREM increases and REM decreases The severity of an infection will influence the degree of change. SLEEP : 99 SLEEP Sleep Deprivation Affects Immunity Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a major symptom of sleep deprivation There is evidence that TNF is involved in the promotion of arthrosclerosis It has been shown that patients with ischemic heart disease have high circulating levels of TNF. IL-6 is suggested to be involved in the artherogenesis process Sleep deprivation promotes the increase of the circulating levels of inflammatory mediators IL-6, IL-1 and TNF.There is a relationship between sleep deprivation and inflammatory related diseases , cardiovascular disease, arthritis and diabetes mellitus Increased activation of IL-6 has been linked with insomnia and disturbances in sleep onset for cancer patients SLEEP : 100 SLEEP Medication Treatments for RLS Dopaminergic agents: (Sinemet) Dopaminergic agents: Pergolide mesylate(Permax), Bromocriptine mesylate (Parlodel), Pramipexole, Ropinirole hydrochlodide (Requip). Opiates Anticonvulsants: Gabapentin (Neurontin) Alpha2 agonists: Clonidine hydrochloride (Catapres) SLEEP : 101 SLEEP Medications Non-benzodiazepines/sleep aids Lunesta Sonata Ambien Benzodiazepine Sedative Hypnotics Estazolam (prosom) Flurazepam (Dalmane) Quazepam (Doral) Temazepam (Restoril) Triazolam Over the counter O.T.C. Sleep Aids Diphenhydramine (Tylenol PM) Doxylamine Melatonin receptor agonist hypotics Rozerem SLEEP : 102 SLEEP Melatonin Melatonin is a hormone that is made by the body’s pineal gland at night It’s essential for a wide range of bodily functions and health It has been shown to increase immune response, lower cholesterol, improve mood and prevent the incidence of free radical damage It also helps us to sleep well at night. Slide 103: 103 SLEEP : 104 SLEEP Melatonin Many biological effects of melatonin are produced through activation of melatonin receptors Role as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant Particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA Foods may contain trace amounts of melatonin No food has been found to elevate plasma melatonin levels. SLEEP : 105 SLEEP Melatonin Melatonin is produced by pinealocytes in the pineal gland The largest organ in humans to biosynthesize melatonin is the skin Production of melatonin by the pineal gland is under the influence of the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, which receive information from the retina about the daily pattern of light and darkness The light/dark information reaches the SCN via retinal photosensitive ganglion cells (these light sensitive cells are a third type in the retina, in addition to rods and cones) Melatonin is secreted in darkness in both day-active (diurnal) and night-active (nocturnal) animals Slide 106: 106 Slide 107: 107 Slide 108: 108 SLEEP : 109 SLEEP Melatonin Synchronizer of the biological clock Melatonin also exerts a powerful antioxidant activity The discovery of melatonin as an antioxidant was made in 1993 Melatonin is an antioxidant that can easily cross cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier. Slide 110: 110 Slide 111: 111 SLEEP : 112 SLEEP Melatonin Melatonin receptors appear to be important in mechanisms of learning and memory in mice Melatonin also inhibits the aggregation of the amyloid beta protein into neurotoxic microaggregates Melatonin has been shown to prevent the hyperphosphorylation of the tau protein in rats Hyperphosphorylation of tau protein can also result in the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. Slide 113: 113 Slide 114: 114 Slide 115: 115 SLEEP : 116 SLEEP Melatonin Several clinical studies indicate that supplementation with melatonin is an effective preventive treatment for migraines and cluster headaches. SLEEP : 117 SLEEP Melatonin Extremely high doses of melatonin (50 mg) dramatically increased REM sleep time and dream activity in both people with and without narcolepsy Many psychoactive drugs, such as cannabis and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), increase melatonin synthesis.

Rowe Pharm Dwww.lifewaveleaders.com866-691-9486Aging Y-Age ANTI AGING : 122 ANTI AGING The Sign of Aging Fine wrinkles Thin and transparent skin Loss of underlying fat, leading to hollowed cheeks and eye sockets as well as noticeable loss of firmness on the hands and neck Bones shrink away from the skin due to bone loss, which causes sagging skin Dry skin that may itch Inability to sweat sufficiently to cool the skin Graying hair that eventually turns white Hair loss Unwanted hair Nail plate thins, the half moons disappear, and ridges develops ANTI AGING : 123 ANTI AGING Oxidative Damage What is oxidative stress: Oxidative stress is caused by Reactive Oxygen Species exceeding the body’s capacity to neutralize them. When products of oxygen react with the other molecules in our bodies, oxygen damage or free radical are formed as byproducts A common example is the rusting of untreated iron in an oxygen environment Free radicals are highly reactive atoms or groups of atoms with an odd number of electrons and they pose as a great danger when they attack, react, bind with other cellular components such as DNA, fats, carbohydrates and proteins Accumulations of damages resulting from these reactions, lead to aging and the functionality of the cells are often affected. In some cases this might even lead to cell death. Our bodies prevent free radicals from damaging our cells by antioxidants which are present either as endogenous (internally synthesized) or exogenous (consumed). ANTI AGING : 124 ANTI AGING Anti-oxidants Antioxidants are molecules that can safely interact with oxidants and prevent the accumulation of free radicals in our system. Vitamin C and E from fruits and vegetables are good examples of dietary antioxidants. Studies have been conducted to show that low intake of dietary intake of fruits and vegetables double the cancer rate for most cancer as opposed to high dietary intake. ANTI AGING : 125 ANTI AGING Anti Oxidants Another source of antioxidants is in the form of carotenoids present in vegetables Carotenoids are mainly known in the form of beta-carotene in carrots but it also exists in lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthine form Combining carotenoids with other antioxidants has a much greater antioxidant properties and thus an increase in antioxidant activities. ANTI AGING : 126 ANTI AGING How Much Should You Exercise In a giant survey of 252,925 men and women aged 50 to 71 years – over the course of the study, 7,900 participants died. Researchers compared those that died to the rest to determine the impact of exercise. Here is what they found: People who exercised moderately at least 30 minutes most days of the week were 27% less like to die People who exercised vigorously at least 20 minutes, three times a week were 32% less likely to die This benefit existed even in sub-groups like smokers, the overweight, the obese, and people who watched more than 2 hours a day of television People who engaged in less than the two levels of recommended activity also showed a reduction in mortality compared to those that did no exercise ANTI AGING : 127 ANTI AGING Sex, Aging and Longevity Can Sex Increase Life Expectancy? Sex ( having more sex) may increase how long you live. Sex releases several hormones in the body, increases intimacy and bonding, and works against loneliness and depression According to the Real Age books, frequent orgasms (about 100 per year) can increase life expectancy by 3-8 years. Studies show that men with a high frequency of orgasms have a 50 percent reduction in mortality risk. ANTI AGING : 128 ANTI AGING Sexual Activity in Older Adults A sample of 3,005 U.S. adults ages 57 to 85 (men and women) found that sexual activity varied by age: 73% of Americans aged 57 to 64 reported being sexual active 53% of those aged 65 to 74 reported being sexual active 26% of those aged 75 to 85 reported being sexual active Women reported less sexual activity than men. ANTI AGING : 129 ANTI AGING Sexual Problems Half of the people surveyed (both men and women) reported at least one sexual problem that bothered them. Women reported the following problems: Low sexual desire (43%) Vaginal lubrication difficulties (39%) Inability to climax (34%) CARNOSINE – ANTI AGING : 130 CARNOSINE – ANTI AGING Definition Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. It is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues Carnosine has a number of antioxidant properties. Carnosine has been proven to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) Carnosine can oppose glycation. It can chelate divalent metal ions.

GLUTATHIONE : 142 GLUTATHIONE Can react with positive & negative molecules Glutathione exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) states In the reduced state, it can donate an electron to a free radical molecule In oxidized state can donate a proton Readily reacts with itself to form glutathione disulfide (GSSG). 90% of the total glutathione pool is in the reduced form (GSH). GLUTATHIONE : 143 GLUTATHIONE Glutathione has multiple functions: Major endogenous antioxidant Detoxifies many xenobiotics (foreign compounds) and carcinogens, both organic and inorganic Is essential for the immune system to exert its full potential Modulates antigen presentation Enhances proliferation of lymphocytes Enhances killing activity of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells Regulating white cell division rates, thereby maintaining control of the immune response GLUTATHIONE : 144 GLUTATHIONE Fundamental role Plays a fundamental role in numerous metabolic and biochemical reactions such as DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport and enzyme activation. Thus, every system in the body can be affected by the state of the glutathione system, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs Slide 145: 145 Slide 146: 146 Slide 147: 147 Slide 148: 148 Slide 149: 149 Slide 150: 150 Slide 151: 151 Order of PresentationLifeWaveThe Opportunity of a LifetimeDr. Carl E.

ACUPUNCTURE : 4 ACUPUNCTURE Definition Hieroglyphs and pictographs have been found dating from the Shang Dynasty (1600-1100 BC) Stone and Bone needles were replaced by metal in 200 BC In Europe, examinations of the 5,000 year old mummified body of “Otzi the Iceman” have identified 15 groups of tattoos on his body, some of which are located on what are now seen as contemporary acupuncture points. ACUPUNCTURE : 5 ACUPUNCTURE How does it work According to Chinese medicine, acupuncture and acupressure work by restoring balance throughout the body It also increases the amount of the life force, known as “chi” in your body, thus restoring overall health Western scientists are not entirely sure how acupuncture and acupressure works It is believed that acupuncture may actually block pain impulses from reaching the brain and increase the level of endorphins in the body, thereby minimizing pain In particular, acupuncture seems to increase serotonin, endomorphin-1, beta-endorphin, and encephalin, all of which are chemicals that work to reduce pain ACUPUNCTURE●Classical texts describe most of the main acupunture points as existing on the twelve main and two extra meridians (also referred to as mai) for a total of fourteen “channels” through which qi and Blood flow. : 6 ACUPUNCTURE●Classical texts describe most of the main acupunture points as existing on the twelve main and two extra meridians (also referred to as mai) for a total of fourteen “channels” through which qi and Blood flow. ACUPUNCTURE : 7 ACUPUNCTURE Meridians One commonly cited source describes meridians as 14 main channels “connecting the body in a weblike interconnecting matrix” of at least 2,000 acupuncture points. ACUPUNCTURE : 8 ACUPUNCTURE Definition Acupuncture is a Chinese therapy used for centuries to treat pain and other health conditions It involves the practice of placing thin, sterile needles into the skin at specific points called meridians According to acupuncture philosophy, acupuncture affects the chi, or flow of energy through these meridians If the chi is blocked, illness arises The needles interact with our nervous system, unblocking the flow of energy which in turn triggers chemicals in our body that affect our mood, pain perception and immune response. ACUPUNTURE : 9 ACUPUNTURE Clinical Trials In a study performed by the Mayo Clinic, acupuncture was found to be helpful in alleviating fibromyalgia pain. Mayo’s study involved 50 fibromyalgia patients enrolled in a randomized, controlled trial to determine if acupuncture improved their symptoms Patients received six treatments over a two to three week period Symptoms of patients who received acupuncture significantly improved compared with the control group, according to the study published in the June issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. ACUPUNTURE : 10 ACUPUNTURE United States Usage In the 1970s, acupuncture became better known after an article appeared in The New York Times by James Reston, who underwent an emergency appendectomy while visiting China. While standard anesthesia was used for the actual surgery, Mr. Reston was treated with acupuncture for post-operative discomfort The first acupuncture clinic in the United States is claimed to have been opened by Dr. Yao Wu Lee in Washington, D.C. on July 9, 1972 The Internal Revenue Service allowed acupuncture to be deducted as a medical expense beginning in 1973. ACUPUNCTURE : 11 ACUPUNCTURE Neurohormonal theory Some studies suggest that the analgesic action of acupuncture is associated with the release of natural endorphins in the brain This effect can be inferred by blocking the action of endorphins (or morphine) using a drug called naloxone When naloxone is administered to the patient, the analgesic effects of morphine can be reduced, causing the patient to feel a more appropriate level of pain When naloxone is administered to an acupunctured patient, the analgesic effect of acupuncture can also be reversed, causing the patient to report an increased level of pain. ACUPUNCTURE : 12 ACUPUNCTURE Adverse events A survey of adverse events related to acupuncture gave rates of 671 minor adverse events per 10,000 treatments, and no major ones Another survey found that out of 3535 treatments, 402 resulted in minor adverse events including Bleeding Bruising Dizziness Fainting Nausea Paresthesia increased pain and in one aphasia. ACUPUNCTURE : 13 ACUPUNCTURE Other injury : Nerve injury, resulting from the accidental puncture Brain damage or stroke, possible with deep needling Pneumothorax from deep needling into the lung Kidney damage from deep needling in the low back Haemopericardium, or puncture of the protective membrane surrounding the heart With unsterilized needles: transmission of infectious diseases ACUPUNCTURE : 14 ACUPUNCTURE Definition A poll of American doctors in 2005 showed that 59% believe acupuncture was at least somewhat effective. The United States Food and Drug Administration changed the status of acupuncture needles from Class III to Class II medical devices, meaning that needles are regarded as safe and effective when used appropriately by licensed practitioners.

Rowe Pharm D. www.lifewveleaders.com866-691-9486Pain IceWave Slide 35: 35 PAIN : 36 PAIN Definition Pain is an unpleasant and aversive feeling Stubbed toe, a headache, a burnt finger, salt in a wound are examples Pain is characterized by its intensity, location and duration It is initiated by stimulation of nociceptors in the peripheral nervous system It is also initiated by damage to or malfunction of the peripheral or central nervous systems. Slide 37: 37 Slide 38: 38 PAIN : 39 PAIN Definition The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.” PAIN : 40 PAIN Definition Widely employed in nursing, “Pain is whatever the experiencing person says it is, existing whenever they say it does”. PAIN : 41 PAIN Definition Pain is a major symptom in many medical conditions, interferes with a person’s quality of life and general functioning It is the single most frequent reason for physician consultation in the United States. Slide 42: 42 PAIN : 43 PAIN Types of Pain – Sharp, Dull, Referred Superficial somatic pain (or cutaneous pain) is caused by injury to the skin or superficial tissues. Cutaneous nociceptors terminate just below the skin and, due to a high concentration of nerve endings, produce a sharp, well-defined, localized pain of short duration Deep somatic pain originates from ligaments, tendons, bones, blood vessels, fasciae, and muscles. The scarcity of pain receptors in these areas produces a dull, aching, poorly-localized pain of longer duration than cutaneous pain; examples include sprains, broken bones, and myofascial pain Visceral pain originates from the viscera, or organs. Visceral nociceptors are located within body organs and internal cavities. Visceral pain may be well-localized, but often it is extremely difficult to localize, and several injuries to visceral tissue exhibit “referred” pain Slide 44: 44 Slide 45: 45 PAIN : 46 PAIN Pain Receptors All nociceptors or pain receptors are free nerve endings of slow-conducting, thinly myelinated A delta fibers or even slower-conducting, unmyelinated C fibers Once stimulated, they transmit signals that travel to the spinal cord and up to and within the brain The brain contains no nociceptors, and hence cannot sense pain inside itself. PAIN : 47 PAIN Acute vs Chronic Acute pain can last a few seconds or a few months but not more than six months. It lets the body know damage has occurred and something needs to be done to make it better. As healing of the injured areas occurs, the pain will normally decrease and eventually go away Chronic pain is pain that lasts for more than six months. It is also known as persistent pain. It can be malignant, getting worse as the source of the pain worsens (as a tumor grows in cancer). It can also be non-malignant as in a chronic illness such as arthritis. It can fluctuate over time with periods of severe pain followed by periods of no pain at all. Pain that does not stop when an injury is healed is also called chronic pain. Pain is not a normal part of aging and should be considered abnormal, and treated and ameliorated at any age Slide 48: 48 PAIN : 49 PAIN Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on characterizing pain in various ways, according to duration, intensity, type (dull, burning, throbbing or stabbing), source, or location in body. PAIN : 50 PAIN Description Typical descriptions of pain quality include sharp, stabbing, tearing, squeezing, cramping, burning, lancinating (electric-shock like), or heaviness. It may be experienced as throbbing, dull, nauseating, shooting or a combination of these. Inflammatory pain is commonly associated with some degree of itch sensation. Slide 51: 51 PAIN : 52 PAIN Description Pain may range in intensity from slight through severe to agonizing and can appear as constant or intermittent. Slide 53: 53 PAIN : 54 PAIN Definition A survey of American adults found pain was the most common reason that people use complementary and alternative medicine.

Any form of energy can be transformed into another form ENERGY : 73 ENERGY Definition Energy is said to be stored by cells Energy is stored as carbohydrates (including sugars) and lipids/fats Energy is released when molecules react with oxygen ENERGY : 74 ENERGY Definition Not all energy is converted into work ATP is used as a sort of “energy currency” ATP is converted into ADP and energy is released At each stage of the metabolic pathway, some chemical energy is converted into heat Slide 75: 75 ENERGY : 76 ENERGY Definition Energy is derived from the foods we consume.The average adult needs 1500 to 2000 calories per day to maintain function Energy comes mostly from carbohydrates and fats Food molecules are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water in the mitochondria Some of the food energy is used to convert ADP into ATP. ENERGY : 77 ENERGY Definition Human equivalent energy assumes an average human energy expenditure of 12,500kJ per day and a basal metabolic rate of 80 watts. For examples, if our bodies run (on average) at 80 watts, then a light bulb running at 100 watts is running at 1.25 human equivalents (100 ÷ 80) i.e. 1.25 H-e. For a difficult task of only a few seconds’ duration, a person can put out thousands of watts—many times the 746 watts in one official horsepower For tasks lasting a few minutes, a fit human can generate perhaps 1,000 watts For an activity that must be sustained for an hour, output drops to around 300; for an activity kept up all day, 150 watts is about the maximum.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) Also known as Wittmaack-Ekbom’s syndrome Characterized by an irresistible urge to move the body muscle when at rest in an effort to relieve these feelings Anxiety and depression are often associated with RLS About 80% of people with RLS also suffer from periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) Patients complaint that the uncomfortable sensations are indescribable Prickly, tingly, painful, creeping/ tugging/insects crawling inside the legs SLEEP : 95 SLEEP Classification of Rest Legs Syndrome Primary RLS: is considered idiopathic. This type of RLS begins approximately at the age of 40 to 45 and it may get worse as the person ages Secondary RLS: has a sudden onset and may be daily. It occurs more often in people at the age of 40 or earlier. Genetic factors Iron Deficiency (anemia) Kidney disease Parkinson’s disease Pregnancy Thyroid problems Sleep apnea or narcolepsy Trouble with the nerves in the hands or feet Alcoholism, tobacco and smoking Antidepressant drugs for example amitriptyline,paroxetine, H2 blockers, lithium, beta-blockers and antipsychotics SLEEP : 96 SLEEP Risk Factors of RLS & PLMD Family history: Two-Third of people with RLS has a family history of the disorder Risk factors such Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) Varicose veins Obesity Diabetes Hypertension Fibromyalgia (chronic pain of unknown cause) Hypothyroidism (thyroid gland doesn’t make enough hormones) Rheumatoid arthritis Emphysema (a lung disease caused by smoking) Chronic headaches Chronic alcoholism Brain and spinal injuries. SLEEP : 97 SLEEP Sleep and the Immune System Cytokines Group of protein produced by white blood cells Function as mediators between the immune system and the central nervous system. Cytokines are influenced by the circadian rhythm, and concentrations increase during night Among these cytokines, interleukin-1B (IL-1) and TNF-a (TNF) function as sleep-promoters causing sleepiness, fatigue and induces NREM sleep. SLEEP : 98 SLEEP Sleep’s Fight Against Infection Neurons that control sleep interact closely with the immune system Cytokines are the mediators for inflammation to fight off bacterial and viral infection Increased sleep during infection is thought to be influenced by these cytokines Sleep may help the body conserve energy and other resources that the immune system needs to mount an attack During acute infection, NREM increases and REM decreases The severity of an infection will influence the degree of change. SLEEP : 99 SLEEP Sleep Deprivation Affects Immunity Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a major symptom of sleep deprivation There is evidence that TNF is involved in the promotion of arthrosclerosis It has been shown that patients with ischemic heart disease have high circulating levels of TNF. IL-6 is suggested to be involved in the artherogenesis process Sleep deprivation promotes the increase of the circulating levels of inflammatory mediators IL-6, IL-1 and TNF.There is a relationship between sleep deprivation and inflammatory related diseases , cardiovascular disease, arthritis and diabetes mellitus Increased activation of IL-6 has been linked with insomnia and disturbances in sleep onset for cancer patients SLEEP : 100 SLEEP Medication Treatments for RLS Dopaminergic agents: (Sinemet) Dopaminergic agents: Pergolide mesylate(Permax), Bromocriptine mesylate (Parlodel), Pramipexole, Ropinirole hydrochlodide (Requip).

Sleep Aids Diphenhydramine (Tylenol PM) Doxylamine Melatonin receptor agonist hypotics Rozerem SLEEP : 102 SLEEP Melatonin Melatonin is a hormone that is made by the body’s pineal gland at night It’s essential for a wide range of bodily functions and health It has been shown to increase immune response, lower cholesterol, improve mood and prevent the incidence of free radical damage It also helps us to sleep well at night. Slide 103: 103 SLEEP : 104 SLEEP Melatonin Many biological effects of melatonin are produced through activation of melatonin receptors Role as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant Particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA Foods may contain trace amounts of melatonin No food has been found to elevate plasma melatonin levels. SLEEP : 105 SLEEP Melatonin Melatonin is produced by pinealocytes in the pineal gland The largest organ in humans to biosynthesize melatonin is the skin Production of melatonin by the pineal gland is under the influence of the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, which receive information from the retina about the daily pattern of light and darkness The light/dark information reaches the SCN via retinal photosensitive ganglion cells (these light sensitive cells are a third type in the retina, in addition to rods and cones) Melatonin is secreted in darkness in both day-active (diurnal) and night-active (nocturnal) animals Slide 106: 106 Slide 107: 107 Slide 108: 108 SLEEP : 109 SLEEP Melatonin Synchronizer of the biological clock Melatonin also exerts a powerful antioxidant activity The discovery of melatonin as an antioxidant was made in 1993 Melatonin is an antioxidant that can easily cross cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier. Slide 110: 110 Slide 111: 111 SLEEP : 112 SLEEP Melatonin Melatonin receptors appear to be important in mechanisms of learning and memory in mice Melatonin also inhibits the aggregation of the amyloid beta protein into neurotoxic microaggregates Melatonin has been shown to prevent the hyperphosphorylation of the tau protein in rats Hyperphosphorylation of tau protein can also result in the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. Slide 113: 113 Slide 114: 114 Slide 115: 115 SLEEP : 116 SLEEP Melatonin Several clinical studies indicate that supplementation with melatonin is an effective preventive treatment for migraines and cluster headaches. SLEEP : 117 SLEEP Melatonin Extremely high doses of melatonin (50 mg) dramatically increased REM sleep time and dream activity in both people with and without narcolepsy Many psychoactive drugs, such as cannabis and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), increase melatonin synthesis.

Rowe Pharm Dwww.lifewaveleaders.com866-691-9486Aging Y-Age ANTI AGING : 122 ANTI AGING The Sign of Aging Fine wrinkles Thin and transparent skin Loss of underlying fat, leading to hollowed cheeks and eye sockets as well as noticeable loss of firmness on the hands and neck Bones shrink away from the skin due to bone loss, which causes sagging skin Dry skin that may itch Inability to sweat sufficiently to cool the skin Graying hair that eventually turns white Hair loss Unwanted hair Nail plate thins, the half moons disappear, and ridges develops ANTI AGING : 123 ANTI AGING Oxidative Damage What is oxidative stress: Oxidative stress is caused by Reactive Oxygen Species exceeding the body’s capacity to neutralize them. When products of oxygen react with the other molecules in our bodies, oxygen damage or free radical are formed as byproducts A common example is the rusting of untreated iron in an oxygen environment Free radicals are highly reactive atoms or groups of atoms with an odd number of electrons and they pose as a great danger when they attack, react, bind with other cellular components such as DNA, fats, carbohydrates and proteins Accumulations of damages resulting from these reactions, lead to aging and the functionality of the cells are often affected. In some cases this might even lead to cell death. Our bodies prevent free radicals from damaging our cells by antioxidants which are present either as endogenous (internally synthesized) or exogenous (consumed). ANTI AGING : 124 ANTI AGING Anti-oxidants Antioxidants are molecules that can safely interact with oxidants and prevent the accumulation of free radicals in our system. Vitamin C and E from fruits and vegetables are good examples of dietary antioxidants. Studies have been conducted to show that low intake of dietary intake of fruits and vegetables double the cancer rate for most cancer as opposed to high dietary intake. ANTI AGING : 125 ANTI AGING Anti Oxidants Another source of antioxidants is in the form of carotenoids present in vegetables Carotenoids are mainly known in the form of beta-carotene in carrots but it also exists in lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthine form Combining carotenoids with other antioxidants has a much greater antioxidant properties and thus an increase in antioxidant activities. ANTI AGING : 126 ANTI AGING How Much Should You Exercise In a giant survey of 252,925 men and women aged 50 to 71 years – over the course of the study, 7,900 participants died. Researchers compared those that died to the rest to determine the impact of exercise. Here is what they found: People who exercised moderately at least 30 minutes most days of the week were 27% less like to die People who exercised vigorously at least 20 minutes, three times a week were 32% less likely to die This benefit existed even in sub-groups like smokers, the overweight, the obese, and people who watched more than 2 hours a day of television People who engaged in less than the two levels of recommended activity also showed a reduction in mortality compared to those that did no exercise ANTI AGING : 127 ANTI AGING Sex, Aging and Longevity Can Sex Increase Life Expectancy? Sex ( having more sex) may increase how long you live. Sex releases several hormones in the body, increases intimacy and bonding, and works against loneliness and depression According to the Real Age books, frequent orgasms (about 100 per year) can increase life expectancy by 3-8 years. Studies show that men with a high frequency of orgasms have a 50 percent reduction in mortality risk. ANTI AGING : 128 ANTI AGING Sexual Activity in Older Adults A sample of 3,005 U.S. adults ages 57 to 85 (men and women) found that sexual activity varied by age: 73% of Americans aged 57 to 64 reported being sexual active 53% of those aged 65 to 74 reported being sexual active 26% of those aged 75 to 85 reported being sexual active Women reported less sexual activity than men. ANTI AGING : 129 ANTI AGING Sexual Problems Half of the people surveyed (both men and women) reported at least one sexual problem that bothered them. Women reported the following problems: Low sexual desire (43%) Vaginal lubrication difficulties (39%) Inability to climax (34%) CARNOSINE – ANTI AGING : 130 CARNOSINE – ANTI AGING Definition Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. It is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues Carnosine has a number of antioxidant properties. Carnosine has been proven to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) Carnosine can oppose glycation. It can chelate divalent metal ions.

GLUTATHIONE : 142 GLUTATHIONE Can react with positive & negative molecules Glutathione exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) states In the reduced state, it can donate an electron to a free radical molecule In oxidized state can donate a proton Readily reacts with itself to form glutathione disulfide (GSSG). 90% of the total glutathione pool is in the reduced form (GSH). GLUTATHIONE : 143 GLUTATHIONE Glutathione has multiple functions: Major endogenous antioxidant Detoxifies many xenobiotics (foreign compounds) and carcinogens, both organic and inorganic Is essential for the immune system to exert its full potential Modulates antigen presentation Enhances proliferation of lymphocytes Enhances killing activity of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells Regulating white cell division rates, thereby maintaining control of the immune response GLUTATHIONE : 144 GLUTATHIONE Fundamental role Plays a fundamental role in numerous metabolic and biochemical reactions such as DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport and enzyme activation. Thus, every system in the body can be affected by the state of the glutathione system, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs Slide 145: 145 Slide 146: 146 Slide 147: 147 Slide 148: 148 Slide 149: 149 Slide 150: 150 Slide 151: 151 Order of PresentationLifeWaveThe Opportunity of a LifetimeDr. Carl E.
