American Disease Statistics: There are 306,984,948 people in America, according to the US Census Bureau. FACT: According to the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute, there were 2,505,900 NEW cases of Cancer, in the U.S, in 2008. This included 1,068,720 cases of skin cancer. There were 565,650 Cancer deaths in the U.S. in 2008. Unfortunate Truth: Most of the 565,650 people who died, were being treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or prescription medications.

American Disease Statistics: FACT: According to the American Heart Association, there are 80,700,000 people in the United States (almost 1 in 4) that have one or more forms of Cardiovascular Disease. Heart Disease is the #1 Killer of Americans. There were 869,724 Heart Disease Deaths in the U.S. in 2008. Unfortunate Truth: Most of the 869,724 people who died, were taking prescribed blood pressure medication and/or cholesterol lowering medication, at the time of their death. High blood pressure and cholesterol are supposed Heart Disease risk factors.

American Disease Statistics: FACT: According to the American Diabetes Association, 23.6 million Americans (1 in 12) have diabetes. 30 – 50% of all new cases of Type 2 diabetes are in children, between the ages of 9 and 19 years old! From 1990-1998 (8 years) there was a 70% increase in Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes cost $174 Billion in 2008. There were 224,092 deaths in 2002*. *(Most recent statistic) Unfortunate Truth: Most of the 224,092 deaths were on some form of prescription medication, for treatment of their diabetes related symptoms. Diabetes causes thousands of cases of blindness and amputations from gangrene every year, and is the 7th Leading cause of death in the U.S.

American Disease Statistics: FACT: According to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, and the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.3 Million Americans have Alzheimer’s. A new case is diagnosed every 70 seconds, in the U.S. Annual cost is $148 Billion. There were 72,914 Alzheimer's deaths in the U.S. in 2006*. *(Most recent statistic) Unfortunate Truth: The 72,914 deaths were a 47.1% increase from 2000, and again, most were on prescription medications. Alzheimer’s is the 6th Leading cause of death in the U.S.

American Disease Statistics: FACT: According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Major Depressive disorder affects approximately 18.8 million American adults, or about 9.5% of the U.S. population ages 18 and older, in a given year. And, the rate of increase of Depression among children is an astounding 23%! Major mental disorders cost the nation at least $193 billion annually in lost earnings alone, and is the leading cause of disability in the ages of 15-44. Unfortunate Truth: Psychologists complain that drugs do not address the underlying causes of depression and end up being more expensive than psychotherapy in the long term. Drugs prescribed for Depression are responsible for hundreds of case of school shootings, including Columbine, Virginia Tech and many others.

Doesn’t PREVENTION make more sense? WHY, Despite having the BEST Doctors, Scientists, Researchers, Hospitals, Medications, Surgical Procedures, Universities, etc., are these Statistics getting WORSE every year?! Answer: The American Healthcare System is based on TREATMENT of the symptoms of sickness and disease. Doesn’t PREVENTION make more sense?

Do these diseases have in common? WHAT Do these diseases have in common? Answer: Massive amounts of Free-Radical Damage, Also known as Oxidative Stress.

to decrease Oxidative Stress? SO, What CAN I do to decrease Oxidative Stress? You can consume LARGE amounts of Direct Antioxidants, take your chances and possibly make matters worse. OR, you can take the World’s Only - Indirect Antioxidant, once per day and experience a truly Revolutionary Scientific Breakthrough in Health. The Choice is Yours!

DIRECT Antioxidant Supplements and Antioxidant rich foods are everywhere and promoted heavily…

In fact, they are promoted Ridiculously! Carbonated sodas are directly related to diabetes, obesity and many other health challenges. Adding antioxidants will not change that fact!

300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 BUT, Do they make a difference in the Free-Radicals your body produces, every day? The Ratio of Benefit is 1:1 (ONE Antioxidant, neutralizes ONE Free-Radical)

Free radicals bad, antioxidants good, right? THE ANTIOXIDANT MYTH: Free radicals bad, antioxidants good, right? For the supplements industry, the truth might be a hard pill to swallow March 2007 – “Cranberry capsules. Effervescent Vitamin C. Pomegranates. Blueberries. Betacarotene. Dark Chocolate. Vitamin E. Red Wine. Green Tea. You name it, if it's an antioxidant, we'll swallow it by the bucketload, in the belief it'll promote good health and stave off disease. But is this really the case? Well, evidence gathered over the past few years shows that, at best, antioxidant supplements do little or nothing to benefit our health. At worst, large doses could have the opposite effect, promoting the very problems they are supposed to stamp out!...”

THE ANTIOXIDANT TRUTH: The Ratio of Benefit is 1:1,000,000 Scientific studies show that your body can’t possibly ingest enough antioxidants to eliminate the 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 free radicals your body makes every day. You would need to eat ridiculous amounts of foods rich in antioxidants (375 oranges, 31 pounds of raspberries, 15 pounds of dark chocolate per day for example), to achieve the antioxidant power you get from ONE Protandim caplet each day. When you take Protandim, you trigger what your body already knows how to do, only better. You ‘tell’ your body to increase production of its own antioxidant enzymes, which helps prevent free radical damage to your cells, thousands of times more effectively than any conventional antioxidant therapy. Healthier cells mean a healthier immune system, and decreased chance of disease as you age. So enjoy wonderful foods for their great taste and the nutrients they are providing to your body, and take Protandim to take care of your body’s antioxidant needs. The Ratio of Benefit is 1:1,000,000 (ONE Antioxidant, neutralizes ONE MILLION Free-Radicals/second)

“Practical Immortality” “Studies suggest that our DNA accounts for only about 30 percent of how long we live. The rest is up to us. Thanks to cutting edge scientific research and incredible advances, practical immortality may now be within our grasp.” Dr. Sanjay Gupta Chief Medical Correspondent, CNN NY Times Best Selling Author

The Key: Slowing the Rate of Aging “… We need to slow the rate of aging to avoid the frailty that would make longevity less desirable.” Dr. Mehmet Oz Vice-Chair and Professor of Surgery, Columbia University New York Times Best-Selling Author Health Expert “Oprah Winfrey Show”

Scientists agree that aging and most deadly diseases, are the direct result of cellular deterioration, due to destructive molecules, called free-radicals. Free-radical damage that causes aging is called Oxidative Stress. This is literally the same process that causes rust. In a sense, aging is your body’s way of rusting from the inside out. Oxidative Stress leads to over two- hundred known diseases including Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer, Depression, Alzheimer’s, etc.

To neutralize these destructive free radicals, our cells produce special antioxidant enzymes. Antioxidant enzymes are "catalytic," which means they are not used up when they fight free radicals. SOD (superoxide dismutase) and CAT (catalase) can neutralize Millions of free radicals per second, every second!

Free-Radical damage increases predictably as you age In a Peer Reviewed, published human Medical study, the amount of free-radical toxins (TBARS) in the blood was measured in control subjects of all ages, many of whom were taking antioxidant supplements.

Peer Reviewed Scientific Scrutiny 40% - 70% Decrease in Oxidative Stress 300% Increase in Glutathione Overall, induction of antioxidant enzymes by Protandim, may serve as a practical and potent approach for Cancer prevention.* *April 10, 2009 LSU Skin Cancer Study. Twenty additional independent, University funded studies are currently underway!

Why is Protandim ® so effective? Protandim® contains a unique combination of phytochemicals that signal the body’s genes to produce its own antioxidant enzymes. This natural process produces enzymes Millions of times more efficient than conventional (Direct) sources of antioxidants, from food or supplements.

As Healthcare costs continue to rise, are YOU going to spend a little amount of money towards obtaining good health, or a LARGE amount of money to treat bad health, once you own it ?
