Previously shared as a paid newsletter in May 2024. In previous newsletters, I've addressed many of the more common contributing factors to brain symptoms, including high pyrroles, copper-zinc imbalances, methylation imbalances, candida overgrowth, mast cell activation, mold and other forms of toxicity, and genetic variants, such as COMT and MAOA.Supplements can be needed to address each of these. Medication can also be necessary when treating mold and mast cell activation.But what happens when someone can't tolerate a supplement or medication because it worsens or creates new brain symptoms? Why, for example, could someone have problems tolerating B6 or SAMe or Methionine. Why might someone have problems with folate, niacinamide, glutathione, certain herbal treatments, antidepressants such as SSRIs, probiotics, antifungal medication or binders such as bentonite clay, activated charcoal, chlorella or cholestyramine?In this newsletter, I'll discuss:* Five common reasons a supplement or medication may worsen symptoms.* Specific supplements and medications that are more likely to do this.* How reactions may point to root causes.* Treatment steps that can improve tolerance.There can be a wide range of brain symptoms that can occur when someone is having an adverse reaction, such as fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, agitation, and even psychosis or mania. I'll use “reactivity” to refer to this range of possibilities. While physical side effects can also occur, the focus here will be on brain symptoms.5 Common Reasons Supplements or Meds May Worsen Symptoms1. Immune ReactivityOur immune system is intertwined with our central nervous system. When our body's immune system reacts to a toxin, microbe, injury, or trauma, we can have inflammatory brain and physical symptoms.“Feel Like I'm Reacting to Everything” - Mast Cell ActivationIf someone is experiencing severe immune reactivity, such as mast cell activation, they may react to many supplements and medications, as well as triggers in their environment and stress. The number of triggers can help point to an exaggerated immune response. In my practice, this high immune reactivity is usually driven by mold toxicity.For many with this obstacle, starting very low and slow can prevent reactions. For others, interventions may be needed to lower immune reactivity and stabilize mast cells. This, however, can require certain supplements. For those who can't tolerate those treatments, limbic system retraining programs help calm the immune system so people can move forward more easily.Sensitivity & IntoleranceIt is possible to have immune sensitivity (or even allergy) to a supplement, though I find this less common. Herbal supplements, for example, which are high in salicylates, may cause symptoms in those with salicylate sensitivity. Certain probiotics have bacterial strains high in histamine. This is an issue for those with histamine intolerance.2. Too Much or Too Little Neurotransmitter ActivitySome people with brain symptoms have high neurotransmitter (NT) activity, and some have low. Common NT's include serotonin (5-HT), dopamine (DA), and norepinephrine (NE). I use the term “neurotransmitter activity” because it's not just about the amount of neurotransmitters present; it's also about the amount of receptors present that pick up NTs and remove them from the space between nerve cells.High Neurotransmitter ActivityToo much neurotransmitter activity can cause brain symptoms such as mania, psychosis, agitation, anxiety, panic, obsessions, compulsions, and hyperactivity. Reactions can occur if supplements or medications are given that further increase NT activity.Examples include:* Overmethylation* Slow COMT (involved in clearing DA and NE) and/or slow MAOA (involved in clearing 5HT, DA and NE)A variant on COMT and/or MAOA doesn't mean they are being expressed.What Increases Neurotransmitters?* SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) increase serotonin activity* SNRIs (Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake inhibitors) increase serotonin and norepinephrine activity.* Stimulant medications such as Ritalin and Adderall increase dopamine activity* SAMe and methionine increase serotonin and dopamine activityRemember that there can be times when there is a mixed picture, such as when someone is undermethylated and has a slow COMT.Low Neurotransmitter ActivityReactions can occur if supplements or medication decrease the neurotransmitter activity when it is already low. This could look like depression, apathy, fatigue, and brain fog.Examples include:* Undermethylation* Fast COMT (involved in clearing DA and NE) and/or fast MAOA (involved in clearing 5HT, DA and NE). The NTs are getting cleared too fast.What Decreases Neurotransmitters?* Folate, a nutrient that is good for a lot of people happens to be a big problem for many with psychiatric conditions. Most with underemethylation have low serotonin symptoms (depression and/or anxiety). While folate can help methylation, as an unfortunate aside, it can also further lower serotonin activity. Folate is in most multivitamins and B Complex vitamins. To learn more: Undermethylation, MTHFR & The Great Folate Debate.* Niacinamide can lowers DA and NE.Looking closely at someone's symptoms and traits and assessing methylation through bloodwork can help determine if NTs are too high, low, or mixed and what types of treatment to consider.3. Poor Detoxification or Toxic OverloadZincZinc is one of the most powerful tools I use in my work. Some people can easily tolerate it, while others can struggle. Here are some reasons someone may not tolerate zinc.* High copper—Zinc mobilizes copper. Moving too much copper at once can increase copper symptoms (anxiety, anger, hyperactivity, insomnia).* High toxicity—Zinc is a strong antioxidant. It is needed for the genetic expression of one of the most important antioxidants in our body, metallothionein.It took me 8 months to get my dose up to an optimal range, which is certainly not the norm. I unknowingly had significant mold toxicity at the time.When I start someone on zinc, I slowly build it up over 3-4 weeks. For some (like myself), even this is too fast.GlutathioneThis is the other major antioxidant. If someone is having difficulty tolerating it, they may have problems with detoxification and significant toxicity (metals, biotoxins like mold, and chemicals). These can start to be addressed in several other ways.BindersThese include bentonite clay, chlorella, activated charcoal, and cholestyramine. They bind toxins, especially mold toxins, in the GI tract. If they are started too quickly, the toxins they are supposed to remove get stirred up, which stirs up symptoms. When people say they can't tolerate certain binders, they usually weren't started low enough.There are others, but these are the most common in my experience.4. Underlying Microbial or Microbiome IssueB6B6 is very important for brain health. It is needed for making serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. We use it in all the Walsh nutrient protocols to varying degrees. In the last 10 years, we've seen a decrease in B6 tolerance. It's not clear why. I'm including it in this section because the reactivity is suspected to be related to the microbiome. Perhaps in recent years, we have had collective damage to our microbiomes from toxins and rising EMF exposure. We don't know.The good news is that P5P, the active form of B6, is usually well tolerated. In my practice, I rely heavily on P5P. I will occasionally use it in combination with B6 (if tolerated) for those with especially high pyrroles.Methionine and/or SAMeBoth are used, though usually not together, to help address undermethylation. I suspect candida or mold when someone is having difficulties tolerating either of these. These nutrients are usually better tolerated once candida and/or mold are addressed (or are starting to get addressed).5. Die-OffAnything that kills off microbes, such as candida or mold, can cause a “die off” of those microbes, release toxins, and worsen symptoms. Antifungal supplements, antifungal medication, and probiotics may cause this type of reactivity. Antifungal medications include nystatin, diflucan, itraconazole, and amphotericin B.Herbs and food-based supplements can have antimicrobial effects. Turmeric is one example. There are many others, so it's always worth checking. Worsening symptoms might point to an underlying fungal or other microbial overgrowth. It may also suggest that appropriate binders may be needed first.Addressing or preventing die-offs could mean supporting detoxification, starting binders if necessary, and, again, starting low and going slow.Antidepressants, interestingly, have been shown in labs to have antifungal effects. This does make me wonder if some people who can't tolerate them are having die-off.Root CausesKnowing someone's history of reactions can help point to underlying root causes.As you can see, there are typically ways to help someone tolerate and go on to benefit from a needed supplement or medication.As always, I welcome your thoughts and experience.Until next time,CourtneyP.S.

Antifungal therapeutic drug monitoring is a critical component of individualized, precision treatment for fungal infections and for antifungal stewardship. Antifungal therapeutic drug monitoring can help improve outcomes through minimizing toxicity associated with supratherapeutic drug levels and prevent treatment failure from subtherapeutic levels. Also, in vitro studies have shown that suboptimal drug levels can lead to antifungal resistance, supporting therapeutic drug monitoring's potential role in preventing the emergence of antifungal-resistant organisms. This episode podcast, we discuss outcome data when antifungal TDM is used, role of antifungal TDM with isavuconazole and echinocandins, TDM in outpatient settings, and other controversies. We will also highlight the recent antifungal TDM insights published by SIDP. The information presented during the podcast reflects solely the opinions of the presenter.

In today's episode, we explore the complex interactions between Candida and the gastrointestinal tract, examining how this fungus can transition from harmless commensal to pathogenic state that disrupts gut barrier functions. We dive into Candida's ability to undermine mucosal integrity through the production of candidalysin and other virulence factors like secreted aspartyl proteases, which specifically target and degrade tight junction proteins such as claudins and occludins. We'll explore the layered structure of the intestinal mucus barrier, its role in immunological defense, and how Candida's biofilm-forming capabilities further facilitate its pathogenicity. Lastly, we'll discuss tools and strategies for mitigating Candida overgrowth. Topics: 1. Gastrointestinal Tract Anatomy / Barrier Function - Mucus Layer - Description of the gastroprotective mucus barrier - Differences in mucus architecture between the small and large intestines - Composition: mucins, immunoglobulins (IgA), antimicrobial peptides - Intestinal Epithelium - Structure and function of the epithelial cell layer - Roles of different epithelial cells: enterocytes, goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, Paneth cells - Lamina Propria - Immune cell types 2. Integrity of Tight Junctions - Tight junction proteins: claudins, occludins, junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs) - Mechanisms of tight junction regulation and response to changes in the gut environment - Impact of physiological and pathological factors on tight junction dynamics 3. Candida Pathogenicity Mechanisms - Adherence and Biofilm Formation - Mechanisms facilitating Candida adherence to epithelial cells - Structural and functional implications of biofilm formation - Enzymatic Disruption of Tight Junctions - Role of Candida-secreted aspartyl proteases (Sap) and phospholipases in degrading tight junction components - Immune System Interaction - Triggering of inflammatory cytokines by Candida presence and their effects on gut barrier function 4. Candidalysin: A Specific Virulence Factor - Genetic basis for candidalysin production via the ECE1 gene - Mechanism of action: disruption of epithelial cell membrane integrity, pore formation, and cellular damage 5. Clinical Manifestations of Candida Overgrowth - Gastrointestinal symptoms: bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain - Systemic effects: fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, mood disturbances - Nutrient absorption impairments leading to deficiencies 6. Strategies - Biofilm Disruption - Agents targeting biofilm integrity and adherence properties - Antifungal and Enzymatic Tools - Natural antifungals - Role of enzymatic supplements in biofilm and cell wall degradation - Immune Modulation and Gut Microbiota Support - Immune-modulating agents - Probiotics and prebiotics to restore and maintain healthy gut flora Thank you to our episode sponsors: 1.

Toenail Fungus Treatment For Runners Tips on treating toenail fungus (onchomycosis). This video is great for all types of endurance athletes such as triathletes, ultra runners, distance runners, marathoners, and cyclists. A fungal nail infection is a common condition that can leave you with brittle, discolored nails, which is usually on your toes. It is very common for trail runners. Toe nail fungus is a lot like athlete's foot. But instead of affecting the skin on the bottom of your feet or between your toes, it invades your nails. The FDA has approved the use of tolnaftate for the treatment and prevention of athlete's foot and ringworm for over 50 years. Tolnaftate is used in well over 70 products worldwide. Formula 3 is not a suspension compound like many other products. The product has received the American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Approval. For best results, It is recommended to apply fast-acting, quick-absorbing Formula 3® Antifungal after taking a shower when the skin has the greatest capacity for absorption. Common types of toe nail fungus: A yeast toenail infection is usually white, a mold infection is generally a dull brown, and a dermatophyte infection is generally yellow.
The antifungal agent Amphotericin B is highly effective against a wide range of deadly fungi and resistance is rare, even after decades of use.

But while it is effective against many fungal species, it is also extremely toxic to kidneys, meaning it is mostly used as a drug of last-resort. This week, a team has unpicked the mechanism behind the drug's toxicity, allowing them to modify it and reduce side effects in human kidney cells. The researchers hope this new version of the drug could become a useful tool in fighting fungal diseases.Research article: Maji et al.09:00 Research HighlightsReconstructing woolly rhino DNA using samples from fossilized hyena dung, and a soft robot that can perform surgery inside a beating heart.Research Highlight: Woolly-rhino genome emerges from cave hyena's fossilized pooResearch Highlight: A robot performs heart surgery with a strong but delicate touch11:26 Phosphorus found at the edge of our GalaxyPhosphorus is a vital element for life and for planet formation, but although abundant in the inner part of the Milky Way, it has been undetected in the outer regions of our Galaxy. Now, researchers have identified phosphorus-containing molecules huge distances from Earth, although exactly how this phosphorus was created is unclear. The team suspect that lower-mass stars are behind the phosphorus generation, and believe that the detection of the element could broaden the range of planets that may be habitable in our Galaxy.Research article: Koelemay et al.18:14 Briefing ChatWhat Osiris-REx's hypersonic capsule return could teach researchers about asteroids hitting Earth's atmosphere, and the genetic studies that could help restore the genomes of Scotland's endangered ‘Highland tigers'.Nature News: Asteroid sampler's hypersonic return thrilled scientists: here's what they learntNature News: How to keep wildcats wild: ancient DNA offers fresh insightsSubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

Fungi that are resistant to antifungal drugs have been very much in the news and even the subject of the hugely popular television program, The Last of Us. We talk with two experts in mycology and fungal susceptibility testing about the recent descriptions of terbinafine-resistant dermatophytes in the United States. Some of the questions we will address include: • What are the manifestations of infections caused by terbinafine-resistant dermatophytes? • What species, including novel species, of dermatophytes are more commonly resistant to terbinafine? • How common is terbinafine resistance in dermatophytes in the U.S.? Guests: - Dr. Shawn Lockhart - Senior Advisor at the Centers for Disease Control - Dr. Nathan Wiederhold - Director of the Fungus Testing Laboratory and a Professor at UT Health San Antonio.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Why we should fear any bioengineered fungus and give fungi research attention, published by emmannaemeka on August 18, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Someone asked me a question after my talk on climate change and emerging fungal pathogens. The question was, why should we give attention to fungi when we know the risk of bioengineering it can be low. Hence the weight given to viruses and bacteria. I thought through and wondered that it is interesting and the EA community should understand why this should be considered. I think in my opinion we need to take fungi very seriously for so many reasons: What we know that makes fungi pathogen interesting: There are only three known anitifungal drugs against major fungi pathogens which are not very effective. The available antifungals have narrow spectrus and high toxicity, and because of the plasticity of the fungi genome resistance is developed very easily. The seriousness of this issue was brought to fore during the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of secondary infections due to fungi pathogens were reported . The emergence of Azole resistance Aspergillus in Europe and environment is a concern as the mortality due to antibiotics resistance and limited drugs can get up to 100%. There are no vaccines for fungi. Currently, there are no immunotherapy or any vaccine available for any fungal infection. More research and funding is needed. Here is a nice paper that shows how close we are to finding a vaccine against any fungi pathogen. Candida auris the first fungi to have emerged as a result of climate change is a fungal pathogen. This is really interesting because this yeast behaves like bacteria and is naturally resistant to some antifungals. It is difficult to treat and led to the shutting down of hospitals . A Detroit hospital will stop taking patients temporarily as it tries to contain an outbreak of a rare, but potentially deadly and drug-resistant fungus. Find link to this new here. It was first discovered in 2009 and have now been reported in all the continents of the world. The CDC gives reasons why this pathogen is a problem Why is Candida auris a problem? source It causes serious infections. C. auris can cause bloodstream infections and even death, particularly in hospital and nursing home patients with serious medical problems. More than 1 in 3 patients with invasive C. auris infection (for example, an infection that affects the blood, heart, or brain) die. It's often resistant to medicines. Antifungal medicines commonly used to treat Candida infections often don't work for Candida auris. Some C. auris infections have been resistant to all three types of antifungal medicines. It's becoming more common. Although C. auris was just discovered in 2009, it has spread quickly and caused infections in more than a dozen countries. It's difficult to identify. C. auris can be misidentified as other types of fungi unless specialized laboratory technology is used. This misidentification might lead to a patient getting the wrong treatment. It can spread in hospitals and nursing homes. C. auris has caused outbreaks in healthcare facilities and can spread through contact with affected patients and contaminated surfaces or equipment. Good hand hygiene and cleaning in healthcare facilities is important because C. auris can live on surfaces for several weeks 4. Fungi are the only species that have caused the complete extinction of a species. A newspaper reported thus "A deadly fungus that has driven more species to extinction than any other pathogen has spread across Africa unnoticed. Chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, or Bd for short, is a highly infectious fungus that affects frogs, toads, salamanders and other amphibians(Source). Although various diseases, such as white-nose syndrome resulting from the European fungu...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Antifungal Resistance - The Neglected Cousin of Antibiotic Resistance, published by Madhav Malhotra on February 4, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. For any researchers interested in healthcare and neglected problems, I recorded this podcast with an expert on antifungal resistance. Here are a few key stats (sources linked): Fungal diseases kill 1.7M people every year. Comparatively, cancer kills 10M per year - but also has a lot more funding & >10x more developed drugs. Fungal diseases are harder to treat than bacterial infections since fungal cells are like our cells. So drugs against them also have side effects on us. Large-scale research on them started 80 years after research on bacterial/viral diseases. More fungal species are infecting humans due to climate change. Since most fungi couldn't survive at high temperatures like in our body before. We have about 4x fewer antifungals than antibiotics being developed in any given year. But both fungi and bacteria are becoming resistant. If you have skills in biomedical or public health research and want to get involved in a more neglected field, feel free to reach out to the expert I interviewed. Or find more resources at the Global Action Fund for Fungal Infections Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

EPISODE #624 COLLOIDAL SILVER Richard talks with an inventor about making your own colloidal silver. Guest: Bruce McBurney (deceased) was a self taught inventor, electrical and motor mechanic repairman, handy handyman according to the theory All known bacteria and viruses are killed by Colloidal Silver. In fact some 650 known bacterias are killed by Colloidal Silver. (You may want to research that yourself) But all these ugly little things in your body all have positive charges, as everything in your body works on a small amount of electric current. When you drink Colloidal Silver (which is a negative charge) it is attracted to these positive charges in your body the bad guys. If the particles size is smaller than .05 microns your colloidal generator makes the particle size 100 to 1000 times smaller than .05 microns, that allows this Colloidal Silver to go straight to the positive charge wherever it may be inside of you.

When Should You Start Using Anti-Aging Skin Care Products? The wealth of products available these days to target visible signs of aging such as fine lines, crow’s feet, dark under-eye circles and dull skin are a gift and a curse. The options are so extensive that it can actually feel quite overwhelming figuring out a skin care regimen that works best. So when and where does one begin? Experts agree that skin starts to age around 20 years old and recommend that you start the road to prevention early. “I recommend my patients to start incorporating anti-aging skin care products in their 20s and 30s, when our skin slowly starts to lose collagen,” says Y. Claire Chang, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City. Face Serum Benefits for All Ages Just like it’s never too soon to start being physically active or eating mindfully, this fundamental aspect of life also applies to skin care. Using serums loaded with incredibly important ingredients before you start seeing signs of aging and environmental assault means you'll be on track for getting (and keeping) the beautiful skin you want now and in the long term. Keep in mind that just like your body never "gets used" to eating nutrient-dense foods, nor does your skin get used to great ingredients. Your skin craves and needs generous amounts of beneficial ingredients like antioxidants, skin-replenishing, and skin-restoring ingredients because each group helps skin be healthy and stay young-looking. Using them now does not mean they won’t work "when you really need them"; rather, they will be working for you every day of your life. Of course, these ingredients also work after signs of aging appear, but without question, sooner is better than later! Roots of The Aging Concept Referring to Greek mythology, the quest for immortality is embodied in the story of Eos, the immortal goddess of dawn. She falls madly in love with Tithon, a mortal human. Not supporting the idea of seeing him die, she claims for him eternity. Zeus agrees, but poor Eos realizes her mistake too late, as what she wanted for Tithon was not eternity but eternal youth. She will therefore be condemned to see him eternally grow old. This myth of ancient Greece refers directly to the current perception of aging: accept the temporary nature of life, while differing as long as possible the appearance of the signs of aging. Today, in industrialized countries, this quest seems strongly motivated by the fear of social exclusion. Indeed, a study conducted on a cohort of 1,713 American women, over 50 years old and mostly of Caucasian type, highlights a great psychological suffering based both on the image that these women have of themselves but also on the degrading image that the rest of society sends back to them. More than 50% of these women reported the perception of physical changes that occur during aging, notably sagging skin and wrinkles. Their cognitive adaptations to the physical experience of aging and the psychological experience of body image altered in parallel. This point is extremely important because it shows how much women correlate the initiation of their aging-related psychological malaise with the appearance of visible signs revealing their age. Let’s get scientific for a minute… With age, our tissues lose their function and capacity to regenerate after being damaged. A study published today in Cell by scientists at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico of the Center for Genomic Regulation (CNAG-CRG) explains how dermal fibroblasts age. The main conclusion drawn is that these fibroblasts lose their cell identity, as if they had "forgotten" what they are, and consequently their activity is altered, thus affecting tissue. The study reveals the cellular and molecular pathways affected by aging and proposes that they could be manipulated to delay or even reverse the skin aging process. The skin is the most exposed organ of the body, and it functions as a barrier against external aggressions. It frequently experiences the direct effects of environmental exposure, including UV radiation and air pollution. Alterations in skin structure and physiology occur as natural consequences of aging and contribute to diminished skin health. These damages can be aggravated by external factors and, combined with lifestyle, result in significant biological alterations, characteristic of premature aging. A fibroblast is a type of cell that is responsible for making the extracellular matrix and collagen. Fibroblasts are large, flat, elongated (spindle-shaped) cells possessing processes extending out from the ends of the cell body. ... Fibroblasts produce tropocollagen, which is the forerunner of collagen, and ground substance, an amorphous gel-like matrix that fills the spaces between cells and fibres in connective tissue. Together, this extracellular matrix and collagen form the structural framework of tissues in animals and plays an important role in tissue repair. Fibroblasts are the main connective tissue cells present in the body. Dermal fibroblasts create long fibrous bands of connective tissue which anchor the skin to the fascia of the body. Therefore, without dermal fibroblasts, the largest and heaviest organ would not tightly adhere to body's frame. Why the Science Lesson? Organixx Skin has released REVERSE our anti-aging serum! When we were experimenting with formulations and ingredients, we did our science homework. We wanted to provide you with a clean, healthy, and effective product that helps turn back the hands of time. The synergy of the fresh, clean, and pure ingredients in REVERSE address the root cause of skin aging in the 21st century – the inside factors like diminished collagen production and aging dermal cells - as well as the outside factors like UV damage and environmental factors. Let’s dive into each ingredient… Croda Juvinity™ Visibly reduces the signs of aging on the face and décolleté. Smoothes wrinkles, restructures and densifies the dermis. Juvinity™ delays cell senescence. It limits oxidative stress and telomere shortening to ensure optimal metabolism and replication rate as a young cell. Protects the cells from oxidative damage and ensures optimal mitochondrial activity. Reactivates the synthesis of major dermal constituents, preserves the cytoskeleton functionality and prolongs cell lifespan by maintaining telomere length. ARGAN STEM CELLS Referred to as “liquid gold”, argan oil is fast-absorbing and known for increasing cell regeneration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Argan oil is also rich in phenols and carotenes, antioxidants that protect the skin from aging free-radical damage. Argan stem cells are well known for their anti-aging properties. They are regenerative and work to strengthen skin's elasticity. Argan stem cells also penetrate the skin at a deeper level, so are able to help fight the signs of aging. Argan stem cells are the only proven stem cells with the ability to penetrate the skin's dermis, meaning they can help protect and revitalize human dermal stem cells! RASPBERRY SEED OIL Raspberry seed oil is rich in EFAs (essential fatty acids), primarily linoleic and linolenic acids. It contains very high levels of tocopherols (Vitamin E), which act as antioxidants, and carotenoids (Vitamin A). Because of its composition, raspberry seed oil possesses superior anti-inflammatory qualities which makes it a nice addition to face, lip and sunscreen products. Absorbs UV rays (Oomah et al., 2000) although its efficacy as a sunscreen has not yet been confirmed. Anti-inflammatory due to high content of alpha linolenic acid (the highest in any fruit seed oil) and phytosterols, therefore helpful for eczema and psoriasis. Very high in Vitamin E – an antioxidant. Antioxidants in skin care are important to prevent oxidative damage, which can lead to premature skin aging and skin cancer. Very high levels of phytosterols that can help reduce trans-epidermal water loss, thereby helping to keep skin moisturized. Phytosterols also help to repair skin damaged by environmental factors including sun damage. It’s a great source of alpha linolenic acid – an essential fatty acid that has regenerative and anti-aging skin benefits. Red raspberry seed oil also has a low comedogenic rating of 0-1, meaning it’s not likely to clog pores. CRANBERRY SEED OIL Cranberry Seed Oil, cold pressed from the seed of the super fruit, is unique among the fixed oils because it contains a very high essential fatty acid profile, along with a good mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E) content, high phytosterols, and a 1:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 essential fatty acids which gives it excellent anti-oxidant activity and skin nurturing benefits. Cranberry Seed Oil contains one of the highest antioxidants and phytosterols content of any of the vegetable / fruit oils, making it an excellent addition to your natural sun protection products where it will help to prevent photo damage. Anti-oxidants that are consumed can reach the skin but, with free radical damage being the heaviest assault on the skin, and the cause of almost all of the signs of aging and unhealthy skin, it is beneficial to apply them topically where their protection can go to work immediately. Antioxidant Protection Skin Conditioning and Restructuring Vitamins A, C, E, and K Enhanced Cellular Function Aids in the Skin's Absorption, and Utilization, of Essential Fatty Acids Cranberry seed oil has the perfect ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, meaning it will absorb into your skin very well. Exceptional Skin Moisturizer Skin Tightening Activity Natural brightener. If your face is looking a little on the dull side, use this oil for a natural glow. TREMELLA MUSHROOM Tremella fuciformis is one of the great superfood mushrooms and longevity tonic herbs in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It’s use dates back as far as 200 A.D. when it was including in one of the earliest TCM classics- the materia medica by "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing”, the father of Chinese medicine. In ancient times, like many of the other revered medicinal mushrooms such as Reishi and Cordyceps sinensis, Tremella was only reserved for royalty, ruling family members or for rich people who could afford this highly valued superfood. For centuries, Chinese women have been consuming Tremella in its whole mushroom form and as a mushroom extract to make their skin more moist, soft and pliable. Its recognized as one of the best tonic herbs to help maintain the health of the skin as the body ages. Tremella mushroom belongs to the jelly fungus family and has many different names. In Chinese, it's called silver ear mushroom (pinyin: yín ěr), white wood-ear mushroom (pinyin: yín ěr), and in Japanese, it's called shiro kikurage which translates to “white tree jellyfish”. It's also commonly known as “snow fungus” and the “beauty mushroom”. Dermatologist Dendy Engelman, the director of dermatologic surgery at Metropolitan Hospital in New York City, says the fungus acts similar to that of hydration powerhouse hyaluronic acid by pulling moisture to the skin. Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, so finding an all-natural match for its hydrating power is pretty major. And snow mushroom has an extra edge. "The particles are smaller than hyaluronic acid so it penetrates the skin more easily," says Engelman. Tremella mushroom has many restorative benefits but it's most famous for its beauty and skin enhancing properties: Nourishes Skin Naturally Moisturizes When applied topically, Tremella generates a natural hydration film on the skin that can help relieve dryness, support overall skin health by balancing optimal hydration and enabling the skin to develop elasticity and appear more supple and full. Improves Elasticity Tremella’s ability to absorb into the deeper layers of the skin works to enhance skin elasticity and helps plump & smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Even better, Tremella also has an incredible ability to break down free radicals - which prevents fine lines and wrinkles from forming in the first place! Slows Skin Aging Brightens Complexion Deeply Hydrates Inside and Out Boasts High Concentration of Vitamin D This mushroom also happens to be high in Vitamin D. When eaten, Tremella mushroom is the highest food source of the Vitamin D precursor, pro-vitamin D. When topically applied, Vitamin D has also shown impressive skin healing abilities. It helps cell growth, wound healing, and maintaining the barrier function of the skin. Basically, it’s like nature’s Band-Aid. And now for a less-fun fact?Between the ages of 20-70, the skin’s natural ability to create Vitamin D decreases by 75%. This is why it's essential to support your skin with extra, high quality sources of Vitamin D such as Tremella. The nutritional profile for Tremella includes: ∙ Protein and amino acids ∙ Enzymes ∙ Vitamins ∙ Minerals ∙ Polysaccharides ∙ Beta-Glucans ∙ Flavonoids ∙ Carotenoids ∙ Beta-Glucans ∙ Phenols and polyphenols ∙ Alkaloids ∙ Organic acids In addition to being a potent immune stimulant, one of nature’s richest sources of vitamin D and containing high levels of antioxidants, Tremella is brimming with medicinal properties, as you can see! Celery Seed Extract The essential oil of celery seed is derived from the celery plant, scientifically known as Apium graveolens from the Umbelliferae plant family. Celery is not just a vegetable used for salads and stir-fries, but it is a revered herb to the Chinese as early as in the 5th century and is even widely used in the Indian Ayurvedic medicinal area. Not only that, celery was held in high and sacred regard during the Greek era. In fact, it was believed that celery was used in the tomb of the famous Pharaoh Tutankhamun and mentioned in the works of the great and famous Roman encyclopaedist, Aulus Cornelius Celsus! All these examples mentioned attest to the high medicinal value of celery and the essential oil derived from its plant, so let’s find out more about what celery seed essential oil can do to benefit our SKIN! Containing vitamins A, C, and K, celery extract is an antioxidant-rich ingredient that can help repel free radicals, ward off photoaging, and ensure continual cell turnover. Antioxidants are true powerhouses, both in skincare and in our diets – so suffice to say, we’re thrilled to introduce this potent ingredient in REVERSE! Linseed Extract You've probably already heard of linseed oil which is often used in manufacturing paints and varnishes as well as inks for printing purposes. These days, it's being utilized in a lot of various products. Did you know that the linseed extract which is expressed from the oil-rich seeds of the flax flower is also highly employed in the production of cosmetics and skincare items? This is because it's also been proven valuable for enhancing the skin's appearance and health. Protects the cells from oxidative damage and ensures optimal mitochondrial activity. Linseed extract is extremely high in omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein and zinc, which gives it strong anti-aging capabilities to reduce wrinkles and increase firmness. Three of the skin-altering conditions you can avoid if protected with linseed extract topically include; Inflammation, Aging, and Allergies ROSE GERANIUM ESSENTIAL OIL A rose geranium is a type of geranium plant with leaves that smell strongly like roses. This species of geranium is native to certain parts of Africa. It’s also called rose-scented geranium, sweet-scented geranium, or old-fashioned rose geranium. The plant has velvety, plush leaves and flowers that bloom pale pink or almost white. A 2017 review of studies demonstrated that antioxidant properties in rose geranium oil may help reduce the signs of aging. The anti-inflammatory properties of rose geranium oil have been demonstrated in animal studies. In fact, one 2013 study showed rose geranium oil had a strong impact on reducing swelling in mice paws and ears. It suggested that rose geranium oil could be the basis of new anti-inflammatory drugs that may have less harmful side effects than current medications. Rose geranium oil has strong antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The food service industry even uses rose geranium oil as a natural preservative in some food products. In one 2017 review of studies, rose geranium was shown to reduce bacterial, fungi, and viruses that cause skin disease and infections. RESOURCES NEW!

When Should You Start Using Anti-Aging Skin Care Products? The wealth of products available these days to target visible signs of aging such as fine lines, crow’s feet, dark under-eye circles and dull skin are a gift and a curse. The options are so extensive that it can actually feel quite overwhelming figuring out a skin care regimen that works best. So when and where does one begin? Experts agree that skin starts to age around 20 years old and recommend that you start the road to prevention early. “I recommend my patients to start incorporating anti-aging skin care products in their 20s and 30s, when our skin slowly starts to lose collagen,” says Y. Claire Chang, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City. Face Serum Benefits for All Ages Just like it’s never too soon to start being physically active or eating mindfully, this fundamental aspect of life also applies to skin care. Using serums loaded with incredibly important ingredients before you start seeing signs of aging and environmental assault means you'll be on track for getting (and keeping) the beautiful skin you want now and in the long term. Keep in mind that just like your body never "gets used" to eating nutrient-dense foods, nor does your skin get used to great ingredients. Your skin craves and needs generous amounts of beneficial ingredients like antioxidants, skin-replenishing, and skin-restoring ingredients because each group helps skin be healthy and stay young-looking. Using them now does not mean they won’t work "when you really need them"; rather, they will be working for you every day of your life. Of course, these ingredients also work after signs of aging appear, but without question, sooner is better than later! Roots of The Aging Concept Referring to Greek mythology, the quest for immortality is embodied in the story of Eos, the immortal goddess of dawn. She falls madly in love with Tithon, a mortal human. Not supporting the idea of seeing him die, she claims for him eternity. Zeus agrees, but poor Eos realizes her mistake too late, as what she wanted for Tithon was not eternity but eternal youth. She will therefore be condemned to see him eternally grow old. This myth of ancient Greece refers directly to the current perception of aging: accept the temporary nature of life, while differing as long as possible the appearance of the signs of aging. Today, in industrialized countries, this quest seems strongly motivated by the fear of social exclusion. Indeed, a study conducted on a cohort of 1,713 American women, over 50 years old and mostly of Caucasian type, highlights a great psychological suffering based both on the image that these women have of themselves but also on the degrading image that the rest of society sends back to them. More than 50% of these women reported the perception of physical changes that occur during aging, notably sagging skin and wrinkles. Their cognitive adaptations to the physical experience of aging and the psychological experience of body image altered in parallel. This point is extremely important because it shows how much women correlate the initiation of their aging-related psychological malaise with the appearance of visible signs revealing their age. Let’s get scientific for a minute… With age, our tissues lose their function and capacity to regenerate after being damaged. A study published today in Cell by scientists at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico of the Center for Genomic Regulation (CNAG-CRG) explains how dermal fibroblasts age. The main conclusion drawn is that these fibroblasts lose their cell identity, as if they had "forgotten" what they are, and consequently their activity is altered, thus affecting tissue. The study reveals the cellular and molecular pathways affected by aging and proposes that they could be manipulated to delay or even reverse the skin aging process. The skin is the most exposed organ of the body, and it functions as a barrier against external aggressions. It frequently experiences the direct effects of environmental exposure, including UV radiation and air pollution. Alterations in skin structure and physiology occur as natural consequences of aging and contribute to diminished skin health. These damages can be aggravated by external factors and, combined with lifestyle, result in significant biological alterations, characteristic of premature aging. A fibroblast is a type of cell that is responsible for making the extracellular matrix and collagen. Fibroblasts are large, flat, elongated (spindle-shaped) cells possessing processes extending out from the ends of the cell body. ... Fibroblasts produce tropocollagen, which is the forerunner of collagen, and ground substance, an amorphous gel-like matrix that fills the spaces between cells and fibres in connective tissue. Together, this extracellular matrix and collagen form the structural framework of tissues in animals and plays an important role in tissue repair. Fibroblasts are the main connective tissue cells present in the body. Dermal fibroblasts create long fibrous bands of connective tissue which anchor the skin to the fascia of the body. Therefore, without dermal fibroblasts, the largest and heaviest organ would not tightly adhere to body's frame. Why the Science Lesson? Organixx Skin has released REVERSE our anti-aging serum!

When Should You Start Using Anti-Aging Skin Care Products? The wealth of products available these days to target visible signs of aging such as fine lines, crow’s feet, dark under-eye circles and dull skin are a gift and a curse. The options are so extensive that it can actually feel quite overwhelming figuring out a skin care regimen that works best. So when and where does one begin? Experts agree that skin starts to age around 20 years old and recommend that you start the road to prevention early. “I recommend my patients to start incorporating anti-aging skin care products in their 20s and 30s, when our skin slowly starts to lose collagen,” says Y. Claire Chang, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City. Face Serum Benefits for All Ages Just like it’s never too soon to start being physically active or eating mindfully, this fundamental aspect of life also applies to skin care. Using serums loaded with incredibly important ingredients before you start seeing signs of aging and environmental assault means you'll be on track for getting (and keeping) the beautiful skin you want now and in the long term. Keep in mind that just like your body never "gets used" to eating nutrient-dense foods, nor does your skin get used to great ingredients. Your skin craves and needs generous amounts of beneficial ingredients like antioxidants, skin-replenishing, and skin-restoring ingredients because each group helps skin be healthy and stay young-looking. Using them now does not mean they won’t work "when you really need them"; rather, they will be working for you every day of your life. Of course, these ingredients also work after signs of aging appear, but without question, sooner is better than later! Roots of The Aging Concept Referring to Greek mythology, the quest for immortality is embodied in the story of Eos, the immortal goddess of dawn. She falls madly in love with Tithon, a mortal human. Not supporting the idea of seeing him die, she claims for him eternity. Zeus agrees, but poor Eos realizes her mistake too late, as what she wanted for Tithon was not eternity but eternal youth. She will therefore be condemned to see him eternally grow old. This myth of ancient Greece refers directly to the current perception of aging: accept the temporary nature of life, while differing as long as possible the appearance of the signs of aging. Today, in industrialized countries, this quest seems strongly motivated by the fear of social exclusion. Indeed, a study conducted on a cohort of 1,713 American women, over 50 years old and mostly of Caucasian type, highlights a great psychological suffering based both on the image that these women have of themselves but also on the degrading image that the rest of society sends back to them. More than 50% of these women reported the perception of physical changes that occur during aging, notably sagging skin and wrinkles. Their cognitive adaptations to the physical experience of aging and the psychological experience of body image altered in parallel. This point is extremely important because it shows how much women correlate the initiation of their aging-related psychological malaise with the appearance of visible signs revealing their age. Let’s get scientific for a minute… With age, our tissues lose their function and capacity to regenerate after being damaged. A study published today in Cell by scientists at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico of the Center for Genomic Regulation (CNAG-CRG) explains how dermal fibroblasts age. The main conclusion drawn is that these fibroblasts lose their cell identity, as if they had "forgotten" what they are, and consequently their activity is altered, thus affecting tissue. The study reveals the cellular and molecular pathways affected by aging and proposes that they could be manipulated to delay or even reverse the skin aging process. The skin is the most exposed organ of the body, and it functions as a barrier against external aggressions. It frequently experiences the direct effects of environmental exposure, including UV radiation and air pollution. Alterations in skin structure and physiology occur as natural consequences of aging and contribute to diminished skin health. These damages can be aggravated by external factors and, combined with lifestyle, result in significant biological alterations, characteristic of premature aging. A fibroblast is a type of cell that is responsible for making the extracellular matrix and collagen. Fibroblasts are large, flat, elongated (spindle-shaped) cells possessing processes extending out from the ends of the cell body. ... Fibroblasts produce tropocollagen, which is the forerunner of collagen, and ground substance, an amorphous gel-like matrix that fills the spaces between cells and fibres in connective tissue. Together, this extracellular matrix and collagen form the structural framework of tissues in animals and plays an important role in tissue repair. Fibroblasts are the main connective tissue cells present in the body. Dermal fibroblasts create long fibrous bands of connective tissue which anchor the skin to the fascia of the body. Therefore, without dermal fibroblasts, the largest and heaviest organ would not tightly adhere to body's frame. Why the Science Lesson? Organixx Skin has released REVERSE our anti-aging serum! When we were experimenting with formulations and ingredients, we did our science homework. We wanted to provide you with a clean, healthy, and effective product that helps turn back the hands of time. The synergy of the fresh, clean, and pure ingredients in REVERSE address the root cause of skin aging in the 21st century – the inside factors like diminished collagen production and aging dermal cells - as well as the outside factors like UV damage and environmental factors. Let’s dive into each ingredient… Croda Juvinity™ Visibly reduces the signs of aging on the face and décolleté. Smoothes wrinkles, restructures and densifies the dermis. Juvinity™ delays cell senescence. It limits oxidative stress and telomere shortening to ensure optimal metabolism and replication rate as a young cell. Protects the cells from oxidative damage and ensures optimal mitochondrial activity. Reactivates the synthesis of major dermal constituents, preserves the cytoskeleton functionality and prolongs cell lifespan by maintaining telomere length. ARGAN STEM CELLS Referred to as “liquid gold”, argan oil is fast-absorbing and known for increasing cell regeneration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Argan oil is also rich in phenols and carotenes, antioxidants that protect the skin from aging free-radical damage. Argan stem cells are well known for their anti-aging properties. They are regenerative and work to strengthen skin's elasticity. Argan stem cells also penetrate the skin at a deeper level, so are able to help fight the signs of aging. Argan stem cells are the only proven stem cells with the ability to penetrate the skin's dermis, meaning they can help protect and revitalize human dermal stem cells! RASPBERRY SEED OIL Raspberry seed oil is rich in EFAs (essential fatty acids), primarily linoleic and linolenic acids. It contains very high levels of tocopherols (Vitamin E), which act as antioxidants, and carotenoids (Vitamin A). Because of its composition, raspberry seed oil possesses superior anti-inflammatory qualities which makes it a nice addition to face, lip and sunscreen products. Absorbs UV rays (Oomah et al., 2000) although its efficacy as a sunscreen has not yet been confirmed. Anti-inflammatory due to high content of alpha linolenic acid (the highest in any fruit seed oil) and phytosterols, therefore helpful for eczema and psoriasis. Very high in Vitamin E – an antioxidant. Antioxidants in skin care are important to prevent oxidative damage, which can lead to premature skin aging and skin cancer. Very high levels of phytosterols that can help reduce trans-epidermal water loss, thereby helping to keep skin moisturized. Phytosterols also help to repair skin damaged by environmental factors including sun damage. It’s a great source of alpha linolenic acid – an essential fatty acid that has regenerative and anti-aging skin benefits. Red raspberry seed oil also has a low comedogenic rating of 0-1, meaning it’s not likely to clog pores. CRANBERRY SEED OIL Cranberry Seed Oil, cold pressed from the seed of the super fruit, is unique among the fixed oils because it contains a very high essential fatty acid profile, along with a good mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E) content, high phytosterols, and a 1:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 essential fatty acids which gives it excellent anti-oxidant activity and skin nurturing benefits. Cranberry Seed Oil contains one of the highest antioxidants and phytosterols content of any of the vegetable / fruit oils, making it an excellent addition to your natural sun protection products where it will help to prevent photo damage. Anti-oxidants that are consumed can reach the skin but, with free radical damage being the heaviest assault on the skin, and the cause of almost all of the signs of aging and unhealthy skin, it is beneficial to apply them topically where their protection can go to work immediately. Antioxidant Protection Skin Conditioning and Restructuring Vitamins A, C, E, and K Enhanced Cellular Function Aids in the Skin's Absorption, and Utilization, of Essential Fatty Acids Cranberry seed oil has the perfect ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, meaning it will absorb into your skin very well. Exceptional Skin Moisturizer Skin Tightening Activity Natural brightener. If your face is looking a little on the dull side, use this oil for a natural glow. TREMELLA MUSHROOM Tremella fuciformis is one of the great superfood mushrooms and longevity tonic herbs in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It’s use dates back as far as 200 A.D. when it was including in one of the earliest TCM classics- the materia medica by "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing”, the father of Chinese medicine. In ancient times, like many of the other revered medicinal mushrooms such as Reishi and Cordyceps sinensis, Tremella was only reserved for royalty, ruling family members or for rich people who could afford this highly valued superfood. For centuries, Chinese women have been consuming Tremella in its whole mushroom form and as a mushroom extract to make their skin more moist, soft and pliable. Its recognized as one of the best tonic herbs to help maintain the health of the skin as the body ages. Tremella mushroom belongs to the jelly fungus family and has many different names. In Chinese, it's called silver ear mushroom (pinyin: yín ěr), white wood-ear mushroom (pinyin: yín ěr), and in Japanese, it's called shiro kikurage which translates to “white tree jellyfish”. It's also commonly known as “snow fungus” and the “beauty mushroom”. Dermatologist Dendy Engelman, the director of dermatologic surgery at Metropolitan Hospital in New York City, says the fungus acts similar to that of hydration powerhouse hyaluronic acid by pulling moisture to the skin. Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, so finding an all-natural match for its hydrating power is pretty major. And snow mushroom has an extra edge. "The particles are smaller than hyaluronic acid so it penetrates the skin more easily," says Engelman. Tremella mushroom has many restorative benefits but it's most famous for its beauty and skin enhancing properties: Nourishes Skin Naturally Moisturizes When applied topically, Tremella generates a natural hydration film on the skin that can help relieve dryness, support overall skin health by balancing optimal hydration and enabling the skin to develop elasticity and appear more supple and full. Improves Elasticity Tremella’s ability to absorb into the deeper layers of the skin works to enhance skin elasticity and helps plump & smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Even better, Tremella also has an incredible ability to break down free radicals - which prevents fine lines and wrinkles from forming in the first place! Slows Skin Aging Brightens Complexion Deeply Hydrates Inside and Out Boasts High Concentration of Vitamin D This mushroom also happens to be high in Vitamin D. When eaten, Tremella mushroom is the highest food source of the Vitamin D precursor, pro-vitamin D. When topically applied, Vitamin D has also shown impressive skin healing abilities. It helps cell growth, wound healing, and maintaining the barrier function of the skin. Basically, it’s like nature’s Band-Aid. And now for a less-fun fact?Between the ages of 20-70, the skin’s natural ability to create Vitamin D decreases by 75%. This is why it's essential to support your skin with extra, high quality sources of Vitamin D such as Tremella. The nutritional profile for Tremella includes: ∙ Protein and amino acids ∙ Enzymes ∙ Vitamins ∙ Minerals ∙ Polysaccharides ∙ Beta-Glucans ∙ Flavonoids ∙ Carotenoids ∙ Beta-Glucans ∙ Phenols and polyphenols ∙ Alkaloids ∙ Organic acids In addition to being a potent immune stimulant, one of nature’s richest sources of vitamin D and containing high levels of antioxidants, Tremella is brimming with medicinal properties, as you can see! Celery Seed Extract The essential oil of celery seed is derived from the celery plant, scientifically known as Apium graveolens from the Umbelliferae plant family. Celery is not just a vegetable used for salads and stir-fries, but it is a revered herb to the Chinese as early as in the 5th century and is even widely used in the Indian Ayurvedic medicinal area. Not only that, celery was held in high and sacred regard during the Greek era. In fact, it was believed that celery was used in the tomb of the famous Pharaoh Tutankhamun and mentioned in the works of the great and famous Roman encyclopaedist, Aulus Cornelius Celsus! All these examples mentioned attest to the high medicinal value of celery and the essential oil derived from its plant, so let’s find out more about what celery seed essential oil can do to benefit our SKIN! Containing vitamins A, C, and K, celery extract is an antioxidant-rich ingredient that can help repel free radicals, ward off photoaging, and ensure continual cell turnover. Antioxidants are true powerhouses, both in skincare and in our diets – so suffice to say, we’re thrilled to introduce this potent ingredient in REVERSE! Linseed Extract You've probably already heard of linseed oil which is often used in manufacturing paints and varnishes as well as inks for printing purposes. These days, it's being utilized in a lot of various products. Did you know that the linseed extract which is expressed from the oil-rich seeds of the flax flower is also highly employed in the production of cosmetics and skincare items? This is because it's also been proven valuable for enhancing the skin's appearance and health. Protects the cells from oxidative damage and ensures optimal mitochondrial activity. Linseed extract is extremely high in omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein and zinc, which gives it strong anti-aging capabilities to reduce wrinkles and increase firmness. Three of the skin-altering conditions you can avoid if protected with linseed extract topically include; Inflammation, Aging, and Allergies ROSE GERANIUM ESSENTIAL OIL A rose geranium is a type of geranium plant with leaves that smell strongly like roses. This species of geranium is native to certain parts of Africa. It’s also called rose-scented geranium, sweet-scented geranium, or old-fashioned rose geranium. The plant has velvety, plush leaves and flowers that bloom pale pink or almost white. A 2017 review of studies demonstrated that antioxidant properties in rose geranium oil may help reduce the signs of aging. The anti-inflammatory properties of rose geranium oil have been demonstrated in animal studies. In fact, one 2013 study showed rose geranium oil had a strong impact on reducing swelling in mice paws and ears. It suggested that rose geranium oil could be the basis of new anti-inflammatory drugs that may have less harmful side effects than current medications. Rose geranium oil has strong antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The food service industry even uses rose geranium oil as a natural preservative in some food products. In one 2017 review of studies, rose geranium was shown to reduce bacterial, fungi, and viruses that cause skin disease and infections. RESOURCES NEW!

CRANBERRY SEED OIL Cranberry Seed Oil, cold pressed from the seed of the super fruit, is unique among the fixed oils because it contains a very high essential fatty acid profile, along with a good mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E) content, high phytosterols, and a 1:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 essential fatty acids which gives it excellent anti-oxidant activity and skin nurturing benefits. Cranberry Seed Oil contains one of the highest antioxidants and phytosterols content of any of the vegetable / fruit oils, making it an excellent addition to your natural sun protection products where it will help to prevent photo damage. Anti-oxidants that are consumed can reach the skin but, with free radical damage being the heaviest assault on the skin, and the cause of almost all of the signs of aging and unhealthy skin, it is beneficial to apply them topically where their protection can go to work immediately. Antioxidant Protection Skin Conditioning and Restructuring Vitamins A, C, E, and K Enhanced Cellular Function Aids in the Skin's Absorption, and Utilization, of Essential Fatty Acids Cranberry seed oil has the perfect ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, meaning it will absorb into your skin very well. Exceptional Skin Moisturizer Skin Tightening Activity Natural brightener. If your face is looking a little on the dull side, use this oil for a natural glow. TREMELLA MUSHROOM Tremella fuciformis is one of the great superfood mushrooms and longevity tonic herbs in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It’s use dates back as far as 200 A.D. when it was including in one of the earliest TCM classics- the materia medica by "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing”, the father of Chinese medicine. In ancient times, like many of the other revered medicinal mushrooms such as Reishi and Cordyceps sinensis, Tremella was only reserved for royalty, ruling family members or for rich people who could afford this highly valued superfood. For centuries, Chinese women have been consuming Tremella in its whole mushroom form and as a mushroom extract to make their skin more moist, soft and pliable. Its recognized as one of the best tonic herbs to help maintain the health of the skin as the body ages. Tremella mushroom belongs to the jelly fungus family and has many different names. In Chinese, it's called silver ear mushroom (pinyin: yín ěr), white wood-ear mushroom (pinyin: yín ěr), and in Japanese, it's called shiro kikurage which translates to “white tree jellyfish”. It's also commonly known as “snow fungus” and the “beauty mushroom”. Dermatologist Dendy Engelman, the director of dermatologic surgery at Metropolitan Hospital in New York City, says the fungus acts similar to that of hydration powerhouse hyaluronic acid by pulling moisture to the skin. Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, so finding an all-natural match for its hydrating power is pretty major. And snow mushroom has an extra edge. "The particles are smaller than hyaluronic acid so it penetrates the skin more easily," says Engelman. Tremella mushroom has many restorative benefits but it's most famous for its beauty and skin enhancing properties: Nourishes Skin Naturally Moisturizes When applied topically, Tremella generates a natural hydration film on the skin that can help relieve dryness, support overall skin health by balancing optimal hydration and enabling the skin to develop elasticity and appear more supple and full. Improves Elasticity Tremella’s ability to absorb into the deeper layers of the skin works to enhance skin elasticity and helps plump & smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Even better, Tremella also has an incredible ability to break down free radicals - which prevents fine lines and wrinkles from forming in the first place! Slows Skin Aging Brightens Complexion Deeply Hydrates Inside and Out Boasts High Concentration of Vitamin D This mushroom also happens to be high in Vitamin D. When eaten, Tremella mushroom is the highest food source of the Vitamin D precursor, pro-vitamin D. When topically applied, Vitamin D has also shown impressive skin healing abilities. It helps cell growth, wound healing, and maintaining the barrier function of the skin. Basically, it’s like nature’s Band-Aid. And now for a less-fun fact?Between the ages of 20-70, the skin’s natural ability to create Vitamin D decreases by 75%. This is why it's essential to support your skin with extra, high quality sources of Vitamin D such as Tremella. The nutritional profile for Tremella includes: ∙ Protein and amino acids ∙ Enzymes ∙ Vitamins ∙ Minerals ∙ Polysaccharides ∙ Beta-Glucans ∙ Flavonoids ∙ Carotenoids ∙ Beta-Glucans ∙ Phenols and polyphenols ∙ Alkaloids ∙ Organic acids In addition to being a potent immune stimulant, one of nature’s richest sources of vitamin D and containing high levels of antioxidants, Tremella is brimming with medicinal properties, as you can see! Celery Seed Extract The essential oil of celery seed is derived from the celery plant, scientifically known as Apium graveolens from the Umbelliferae plant family. Celery is not just a vegetable used for salads and stir-fries, but it is a revered herb to the Chinese as early as in the 5th century and is even widely used in the Indian Ayurvedic medicinal area. Not only that, celery was held in high and sacred regard during the Greek era. In fact, it was believed that celery was used in the tomb of the famous Pharaoh Tutankhamun and mentioned in the works of the great and famous Roman encyclopaedist, Aulus Cornelius Celsus! All these examples mentioned attest to the high medicinal value of celery and the essential oil derived from its plant, so let’s find out more about what celery seed essential oil can do to benefit our SKIN! Containing vitamins A, C, and K, celery extract is an antioxidant-rich ingredient that can help repel free radicals, ward off photoaging, and ensure continual cell turnover. Antioxidants are true powerhouses, both in skincare and in our diets – so suffice to say, we’re thrilled to introduce this potent ingredient in REVERSE! Linseed Extract You've probably already heard of linseed oil which is often used in manufacturing paints and varnishes as well as inks for printing purposes. These days, it's being utilized in a lot of various products. Did you know that the linseed extract which is expressed from the oil-rich seeds of the flax flower is also highly employed in the production of cosmetics and skincare items? This is because it's also been proven valuable for enhancing the skin's appearance and health. Protects the cells from oxidative damage and ensures optimal mitochondrial activity. Linseed extract is extremely high in omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein and zinc, which gives it strong anti-aging capabilities to reduce wrinkles and increase firmness. Three of the skin-altering conditions you can avoid if protected with linseed extract topically include; Inflammation, Aging, and Allergies ROSE GERANIUM ESSENTIAL OIL A rose geranium is a type of geranium plant with leaves that smell strongly like roses. This species of geranium is native to certain parts of Africa. It’s also called rose-scented geranium, sweet-scented geranium, or old-fashioned rose geranium. The plant has velvety, plush leaves and flowers that bloom pale pink or almost white. A 2017 review of studies demonstrated that antioxidant properties in rose geranium oil may help reduce the signs of aging. The anti-inflammatory properties of rose geranium oil have been demonstrated in animal studies. In fact, one 2013 study showed rose geranium oil had a strong impact on reducing swelling in mice paws and ears. It suggested that rose geranium oil could be the basis of new anti-inflammatory drugs that may have less harmful side effects than current medications. Rose geranium oil has strong antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The food service industry even uses rose geranium oil as a natural preservative in some food products. In one 2017 review of studies, rose geranium was shown to reduce bacterial, fungi, and viruses that cause skin disease and infections. RESOURCES NEW!

Consider poor adherence rather than recalcitrant disease in psoriasis patients who do not respond to topical treatment. Dr. Vincent DeLeo talks with Dr. Nwanneka Okwundu and Dr. Steven Feldman about strategies to promote better treatment adherence. They discuss factors that contribute to poor adherence and offer tips to motivate patients to stick to their treatment regimens. “There’s a lot we can do to get people to use their medicine better. ... Our job is to get people well. And to do that, we have to make the right diagnosis, prescribe the right therapy, and do those things that need to be done to get patients to put the medicine on,” explains Dr. Feldman. * * * We also bring you the latest in dermatology news and research: 1. Coronavirus outbreak prompts cancellation of AAD annual meetingThe American Academy of Dermatology annual meeting is the latest large medical conference to be canceled because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. 2. Antifungal drug terbinafine appears safe for pregnancyTreatment with terbinafine during pregnancy does not appear to increase the risk of major malformations or spontaneous abortions. 3. Toys may be the culprit for children with contact allergiesA variety of toys such as video game controllers, tablets, dolls, bikes, and toy cars, can cause contact dermatitis in children because of the nature of their respective ingredients. * * * Things you will learn in this episode: A recent study evaluated whether psoriasis patients who were resistant to topical corticosteroids responded under conditions designed to promote treatment adherence, which included telephone reminders, frequent study visits, and use of a spray vehicle vs. an ointment. Most participants improved in all measurement parameters, but the randomized group of patients who received telephone calls showed more improvement in disease severity than those who did not receive telephone calls. “This idea that topical therapy doesn’t work, I think, is based on a misconception. It’s based on our observations that it doesn’t work, but we’re not seeing how poorly compliant patients are. If we take people who fail topical therapy and do things to really get them to use their topical medication well, their skin disease clears up,” Dr. Feldman explains. In addition to making the diagnosis and prescribing treatment, dermatologists play an important role in getting psoriasis patients to use their medications: “If you tell people, ‘Here, put this topical therapy on. It’s messy, I’ll see you in 3 months,’ you’ll be like a piano teacher saying, ‘Here’s a really complicated piece of music, practice it every day, I’ll see you at the recital in 3 months.’ It’s just not going to sound like a very good recital,” Dr. Feldman notes. Practical alternatives to frequent office visits that dermatologists can use to answer patient questions and promote treatment adherence include virtual visits (teledermatology) and electronic interactions (telephone calls, email correspondence). It is important to prescribe therapies that are consistent with a patient’s preferred vehicle. “If the patient prefers a spray, give them a spray. If they want an ointment, give them an ointment. They are more likely to use it that way,” Dr. Okwundu recommends. When starting patients on a new treatment, hold them accountable by having them check in with you to let you know how they are doing. “Maybe we don’t need to see people every 3 days, but we need to make sure patients realize we care about them, because they don’t want to let us down if we have the kind of strong human relationship with them and then we have to hold them accountable,” Dr. Feldman advises. * * * Hosts: Nick Andrews; Vincent A.

Laser Nail Therapy - Cure Your Nail Fungus Today! http://www.lasernailtherapy.com (800) 672-0625 Fungal toenails is one of the most common issues why people visit a podiatrist. Fungi can infect the nail after an injury or trauma from playing sports such as football or basketball. As an athlete, you can be highly susceptible to a fungal infection. Another reason to get a fungal infection is the environment your toenails are in. The shoes you wear is the perfect environment for fungus to thrive. It is usually moist and warm due to sweat. The problem is, if you get fungus in your toenails, it can be very difficult to get rid of. It is almost impossible to treat it without professional help. If you ignore the problem, it will just get worse and more difficult to treat. And because the infection starts small, you might not notice it right away until it is too late. Common treatment options that are readily available are topical treatments such as antifungal creams or solutions. These topical treatments may seem easy but it is not very effective. Another option is oral medication. This type of treatment is more effective than topicals, but it has harmful side effects. Antifungal pills can cause liver damage, stomach issues, and skin rashes. The most effective way to eradicate a fungal infection of the toenails is with laser treatment. In our clinics, we use the FDA approve PinPointe Laser. This is the most effective laser in the market, and does not harm the nail or the surrounding skin nor cause any dangerous side effects.. If you have nail fungus or it’s symptoms, give us a call at (800)672-0625 to schedule a Free Consultation with our doctors or visit our website at http://www.lasernailtherapy.com

Growing an herbal antibiotic. In This Podcast: Bill Bruneau suffered from what eventually was diagnosed as a leaky gut caused by using pharmaceutical antibiotics. Knowing that plants had medicinal powers he searched out which ones were natural antibiotics and came upon limited but intriguing information on the genus Sida. He waited for someone to write a book about this super-weed and when no one did, Bill knew he had to do it. Listen as Bill lists just a few of the many illnesses he uses Sida to treat or prevent. Don't miss an episode! Click here to sign up for podcast updatesor visit www.urbanfarm.org/podcast In 1982, Bill and his wife started Bountiful Gardens Seeds, which is part of the small non-profit Ecology Action of the Mid-peninsula. Ecology Action is an organization that has been diligently working to save the world's soil for the last 45 years, refining and promoting a bio-intensive farming method that actually creates soil while being very productive. While Bill is an herbal hobbyist, medicinal herbs and preventative medicine have been at the core of his family's health for at least 50 years and when he discovers one that is as good as Sida appeared to be, he wanted to know everything about it. A scientist at heart, he did intensive research into the known benefits of Sida for over a year, seeking out peer-reviewed research on Sida, and in particular studies on Sida acuta. The results have exceeded his wildest expectations.

Have you or someone you love been advised to avoid iodine supplementation? Allopathetic doctors are most likely to make this recommendation followed by naturopathic doctors that don’t understand the role of iodine in the body. The typical mistake with iodine supplementation is the shallow understanding that its only role is as a substrate for the formation of thyroid hormone. Not so. Every cell in the body needs iodine: Iodine is required to prevent an attack from the sea of microbes they are surrounded by. Our bodies are saturated by 10 times more germs than human cells and iodine functions like chlorine in a pool keeping germs at bay. For example, white blood cells cannot effectively guard against infection without adequate amounts of iodine. Iodine is responsible for the formation of the normal architecture of the glandular tissue, e.g. breast, thyroid, ovary, & prostate, Iodine is utilized in the management of insulin and is effective in lowering blood sugar. Elevates pH (Iodine is an alkalinizing agent) Iodine is necessary for the production of all the hormones of the body (adrenals, ovaries, testicles, etc.)testicles Therefore, much more iodine is needed than just for thyroid hormone formation! Iodine has tremendous therapeutic actions at the cellular level – iodine can act as an alkalinizing agent, an Antibacterial, an Antiparasitic, an Antifungal an Antiviral and a Detoxifying agent If you have been advised to take iodine by a doctor or medical professional, then you’ll want to take iodine that is fully absorbed at the cellular level and in a balanced dose along with the other minerals it requires for beneficial interactions in the body. Tonight on our internet based radio show, we'll be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Iodine - Proper Supplementation for Optimal Health along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the 'conflict' in the 'conflict basis' of disease and much more!!

On today’s show I have Daniel and Lindsay Crouch from Guiltless Superfoods. I first came across Daniel & Lindsay whilst researching Doug Kaufmann’s antifungal diet. Some of the recipes Doug recommended contained Guiltless Superfoods tortillas, and seeing as tortillas are conventionally made with wheat and yeast, (both of which are not allowed on an antifungal diet) I took a closer look at the ingredients. What I found when researching into the ingredients was Daniel & Lindsay had replaced the wheat & yeast with their very own 7 seed flour blend. As soon as I saw this I knew I had to take a deeper look into their brand and some of the other foods they were making. What I found was exciting to say the least. There were doughnuts, cookies and muffins all made with this 7 seed flour and with none of the health destroying ingredients we are used to seeing in these delicious foods. One look at the reviews also told you just how tasty these foods were. I knew right then and there I had to get these guys on the show and get behind what they are doing. On the show we discussed: Daniel’s health journey and what made him and Lindsay start Guiltless Foods Lindsay’s background as a chef and her challenges making the 7 seed blend What is in the 7 seed blend and what makes the flour so powerful The powers of an antifungal diet How the Guiltless Foods have improved their own health Whether their kids enjoyed the foods The quality of their ingredients and the challenges they faced bringing the products to market What new products they have on the horizon & much more This really was a fun interview and the energy both Daniel & Lindsay brought to the episode was contagious and a testament to their personal health. What they are doing is game changing, and I definitely want to make their products available to people in the UK in the future.

Statin drugs, before they were used to lower your cholesterol levels, were used to kill fungus! Even more interesting is the fact that some research shows that lowering cholesterol isn’t the only thing that statin drugs can do-they might also grow bone. But I caution you that taking statin drugs is not, in my humbled opinion, the safest way to go, if you have bone loss. Statins have become the darlings of Wall Street, but be careful because the last darling of Wall Street may have injured more women than they helped; hormone replacement therapy, or HRT. The point of this podcast is to familiarize you with the bone loss-fungus link. Antifungal supplements and lifestyle changes may be in order, including diet and exercise, when brittle bones or bone loss is diagnosed.
Have you ever thought about covering up your unsightly fungal nails without infecting or reinfecting yourself? Perhaps you have thought about doing so with nail polish, but still want your nails to breathe. Well the solution is here and i know just the one. Scientists and polishing companies have developed nail polishes with antifungal remedies in them. This means that nail fungus sufferers can now cover up those embarrassing discolored and bruised up nails without feeling like they are causing more harm than good. There are several brand options out there and many of them have different remedy properties. Some include tea tree oil, others contain something with a little more powerful antifungal agents such as acetate. Both of these are safe options and have no harmful side effects. You may find these antifungal nail polishes online or in some clinics, such as our own, Laser Nail Therapy Clinic. We also offer the polishes on our website under “shop” tab or you may purchase them in any one of our offices. Antifungal nail polishes are a great way in not only covering up your embarrassing nail fungus, but also serve to help treat your nails in the process. For more information, please contact our office at 3939 J St. Suite 270 Sacramento, CA 95819 (800) 672-0625

The use of antimycotic drugs in fungal infections is based on the concept that they suppress fungal growth by a direct killing effect. However, amphotericin and nystatin have been reported to also trigger interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion in monocytes but the molecular mechanism is unknown. Here we report that only the polyene macrolides amphotericin B, nystatin, and natamycin but none of the tested azole antimycotic drugs induce significant IL-1β secretion in-vitro in dendritic cells isolated from C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow. IL-1β release depended on Toll-like receptor-mediated induction of pro-IL-1β as well as the NLRP3 inflammasome, its adaptor ASC, and caspase-1 for enzymatic cleavage of pro-IL-1β into its mature form. All three drugs induced potassium efflux from the cells as a known mechanism for NLRP3 activation but the P2X7 receptor was not required for this process. Natamycin-induced IL-1β secretion also involved phagocytosis, as cathepsin activation as described for crystal-induced IL-1β release. Together, the polyene macrolides amphotericin B, nystatin, and natamycin trigger IL-1β secretion by causing potassium efflux from which activates the NLRP3-ASC-caspase-1. We conclude that beyond their effects on fungal growth, these antifungal drugs directly activate the host's innate immunity.
