Yours in good health

Due to aging and the grind of everyday life, our bodies lose their ability to function at optimal levels. Redox signaling molecules found in ASEA Redox Supplement work at the cellular level to provide our bodies the additional support they need to stay active and energized longer.

All of our health problems are due to cells that are unable to maintain a healthy redox potential. The immediate result could be cellular death, overwhelming infection. In our industrialized world our challenges result in chronic imbalances in cellular health causing chronic oxidative stress that the body is unable to overcome. Aging, poor diet, mental stress, poor hydration, and inadequate exercise set the stage for this imbalance, which advances the pace of aging (as well as illness).

New research reveals that the Epstein Barr virus (a Herpes family virus that causes mononucleosis) may be the leading cause of multiple sclerosis. The risk of multiple sclerosis increased 32-fold after infection with Epstein-Barr but not after infection with other viruses. Since nearly everyone harbors EBV, this finding strongly implicates the immune response to the virus—in other words, how we respond to an Epstein Barr infection determines whether we will develop MS. Follow-up studies should prove fascinating—will other viruses be implicated, as well, or will EBV prove to be responsible for virtually all cases of MS? https://bit.ly/3rVWTfG

Half of this year's historic premium increase for Medicare is due to Aduhelm, yet Medicare will not pay for other treatments, including multivitamins that were shown to reduce the risk of dementia by 60%. The government may not be interested in preventive healthcare but we all should be, because there are actions we can take today to reduce our risk and reverse cognitive decline.
