Anti-Aging – Antioxidants – Free Radicals
“INVASION OF THE ELECTRON SNATCHERS” What you are about to read may seem like something from a bad sci-fi movie or from the front pages of one of those tabloids at your local grocery store. It may sound unrealistic or pretty farfetched, but alien molecules are invading your body. Their very survival depends on mutating and damaging the cells of your body. Just because you can’t see it happening directly in front of you doesn’t mean it isn’t real and that the health of your body isn’t in danger. Free radicals are real and the damage they do is silent, extensive and ubiquitous. It’s a scientific fact that they are a real source of disease, aging and death. The National Cancer Institute and a variety of medical universities are spending millions of dollars trying to prevent a variety of diseases by preventing or controlling free radical damage. Cancers, strokes and cataracts seem to be as totally different from one another as any diseases could be; but a growing body of research suggests they all tend to have a mutual link. The causal chain behind these and many other diseases-perhaps behind aging itself-includes a class of molecules known as free radicals. But this is not just a medical concern. Free radicals affect nearly every aspect of your life. Free radicals cause food to spoil; paint on your car to peel, crack or “oxidize”; metal to rust; pipes to leak; clothes to fade, etc. Even though you don’t see free radicals, they are all around you creating damage to you and your environment, costing you money, creating physical discomfort and maybe even pain. Free radicals are everyone’s problem. The government and business communities spend millions of dollars a year trying to prevent damage to food, infrastructure and the environment. You shouldn’t underestimate the damage free radicals can do to your body and all the things around you. Understanding Free Radicals Some researchers believe that the discovery of the effects of free radicals may be as important as Pasteur’s insights into infectious disease. In a sense, free radicals take medical theory one level deeper. While the mechanisms of infectious disease involve microorganisms and cells, free radicals involve something more.
The human body is composed of many different types of cells. These cells are composed of many different types of molecules containing one or more atoms. Atoms consist of a nucleus with ~ neutrons, protons and electrons. The number of protons (positively charged particles) in the atom’s nucleus determines the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) surrounding the atom. In stable molecules, the electrons “orbit” the atom in pairs. If the atom loses an electron, it becomes unstable, electrically unbalanced, and is said to be a “free radical”. The unstable molecule becomes very reactive and desperately attempts to re-stabilize itself by replacing the electron it lost. To do so, the free radical seeks to regain its stability by stealing an electron from a neighboring molecule – it physically rips away an electron from another atom. As a result the free radical becomes stabilized at the expense of creating a free radical in its neighbor. This sets off a chain reaction similar to an internal atomic explosion, whereby neighbors steal from neighbors, eventually creating up to a million or more free radicals from a single unstable molecule. What Free Radicals Do Free radicals steal electrons from cells. The loss of electrons causes damage to cellular structure and DNA; thus, bringing on aging, cellular deterioration and disease. An antioxidant is a compound that gives up an electron to a free radical making it harmless, and protecting it against cell damage. Hydrogen is the smallest atom. MegaH® and MegaHydrate® molecules are many times smaller than the larger molecules of any other known antioxidant. At the same time, each MegaH® or MegaHydrate® molecule also releases only ONE electron. One milligram of MegaH® or MegaHydrate® gives up many more electrons than one milligram of any other antioxidant. Antioxidants work together in a cascading process. For example, Vitamin C will gives up an electron and becomes a weaker free radical. Though not damaging, once it donates its electron, Vitamin does become a minor toxin and has to be eliminated. Vitamin C will then steal an electron from Beta Carotene – now becoming an even weaker free radical. Subsequently, Vitamin C will steal an electron from Vitamin E. This process continues until the free radical is eliminated from the body. MegaH® and MegaHydrate® are the only known forms of antioxidants that do not become free radicals. Other forms of antioxidants are necessary to help support the cascade of antioxidants, and a multitude of antioxidants is the most effective way to prevent free radical damage. All antioxidants share a common factor in being sources of hydrogen. Hydrogen is the ultimate antioxidant and the source of protons for Adenosine 5 -Trisphosphate (ATP). ATP is the biochemical battery that supplies nearly all the energy needs of the human body. How do We Protect Ourselves from Free Radicals? We can do our best to avoid free radicals by staying away from smoke, fumes, sunlight, pollution, X-rays, solvents, petrochemicals, drugs, microwaves, electro-magnetic forces emitted from high tension lines, electric motors, cell phones, telephones, computers and TV screens, etc. Obviously, this is something we have limited control over. Many things that cause free radicals are a part of our everyday life ~ we simply cannot avoid them. You cannot avoid sunlight, ozone, air and water pollution, and preservatives in food or stress. There are also those free radical generators that cannot be avoided because we cannot see them (i.e., pesticides and chemicals in our food, radon, fumes, vapors and toxins in the environment). We cannot prevent free radical formation since it is part of our metabolism and part of living in an industrialized world. We can, however, minimize and prevent damage from these dangerous free radicals by taking antioxidants and ensuring that our body’s antioxidant systems are functioning at their best. Antioxidants are simply substances that prevent, neutralize or kill free radicals. More specifically, antioxidants are nutritional supplements, such as vitamins, minerals, coenzymes, and herbs, which help your body fight and prevent damage from toxins and free radicals. In doing this, they protect cells, genetic codes and your immune system. Maintaining a Healthy Body Terrain Due to its contribution of negatively-charged hydrogen, MegaH® and MegaHydrate® are powerful factors in creating a healthy cell environment. Hydrogen is the smallest element known. Each day, the body uses about a half pound of hydrogen for the production of ATP. Hydrogen bonds are the glue that holds DNA molecules. Dr. Flanagan theorized that DNA bonds can be revitalized. As we age, the DNA helix coils more tightly; therefore, losing its flexibility. DNA in human skin illustrates this point. Younger, more resilient skin is flexible because the DNA coils are still flexible. Contraction of the DNA coil may reduce the number of times it can divide. Presently, cells can only divide about 50 times. Increasing the reproduction ability of cells extends human life. If the DNA helix can be un-tightened by activating the DNA hydrogen bonds, this can have a very profound effect on the ability to increase the regeneration of cells. Hydrogen is also vital in maintaining an alkaline biological terrain in the body. Biological terrain describes whether cellular pH levels are acidic (unhealthy) or alkaline (healthy). This terrain, absent of free radical damage, is vital in reversing the acidic chemistry of the body. Converting the biological terrain from acidic to alkaline is a very important function of hydrogen. If the cellular biological terrain is out of a healthy range, then cells cannot perform and a person is at a high risk to contract acute and chronic disease, as well as physical deterioration. Poor biological terrain (acidic) is associated with rapid aging. Acidic chemistry in the body is the feeding ground of disease. Virtually all cellular waste and most internally-generated toxins are acidic. If a biological terrain is very acidic, possibly due to high yeast or bacteria content in the stomach, that physiology may have an initial adverse reaction to MegaH® or MegaHydrate®. Some people report feeling some stomach pain. People who are highly acidic should begin with only one or two capsules. It is very important to always drink between 8 and 12 ounces of water with each dose of MegaH® or MegaHydrate®. How does all this affect You? Let’s examine the make-up of the cell in order to understand how free radical attacks on the cell can damage your molecular structure. Cell membranes are made of unsaturated lipids. The unsaturated lipid molecules of cell membranes are particularly susceptible to this damaging free radical process and readily contribute to the uncontrolled chain reaction. Oxidative damage, another name for the chemical reaction that free radicals cause, can lead to a breakdown or even hardening of lipids which make up the cell walls. If the cell wall is hardened, then it becomes impossible for the cell to properly get its nutrients. This hardening of the cellular wall also reduces th Free radicals in the body operate like terrorists. They can attack DNA, leading to dysfunction, mutation and cancer. They can attack enzymes and proteins, disrupting normal cell activities, or cell membranes, producing a chain reaction of destruction. For example, free radical damage to the cell membranes lining our blood vessels can lead to hardening and thickening of the arteries, and may eventually contribute to heart attacks and strokes. Free-radical attacks on collagen can cause cross-linking of protein molecules, resulting in stiffness in the tissue. In fact, everything in your body is at risk from free radical damage-proteins, lipids, hormones, cells, tissues, genetic code, etc. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Despite all the damage they can cause, free radical reactions are necessary to life. The transfer of electrons is basic to energy production and many metabolic processes. For the most part, the human body is quite capable of controlling the naturally occurring reactions in the free radical process. However, if the chain reaction goes on in an uncontrolled manner, cell membrane damage can occur, resulting in altered cell function, mutation and even cell death. Therefore, it is important to limit free radical damage in order to maintain originality of the genetic blueprint. Some free radicals arise normally during metabolism. Sometimes the body’s immune system’s cells purposefully create them to neutralize viruses and bacteria. However, environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, herbicides and cigarette smoke can also spawn free radicals. Normally, the body can handle free radicals, but if the free-radical production becomes excessive, damage can occur. Toxic Metals Toxic metals in your body multiply those free radical chain reactions several thousand times over. When a free radical molecule hits a metal atom in your body, the effect is an explosion of free radical activity. Thus, toxic metals are a cause of free radicals. Environment, medical science, food processing and production methods, etc., are all sources of toxic metal contamination in our bodies. A few hundred years ago we did not have the same burden of toxic metals in our bodies that we now do, nor did we have such an exposure to free radicals. If you are able to remove the toxic metals being stored in the cells, you are able to greatly reduce the activity and the number of free radicals. Heart Disease Most researchers and physicians now recognize that the primary cause of heart disease is damage done by free radicals to individual cells within the arteries. And, this free radical damage cannot be prevented or cured by any drugs. In fact, most drugs are sources of MORE free radicals in the body. Memory / Dementia Of particular importance is that free radical damage accumulates with age. When this oxidative damage affects a person’s brain, the effect sneaks up slowly, and ever so quietly steals away a person’s memory and personality, eventually eroding his ability to even take care of himself. Macular Degeneration Experts believe one of the most prominent causes of age related macular degeneration is free radical damage. Some of these free radicals may attack the retina ~ two common reasons include exposure to the sun and smoking ~ and then proceed to damage cellular material that is responsible for the functioning of healthy vision. Experts also believe that heart disease and diabetes may contribute to age related macular degeneration. These diseases can decrease the crucial flow of blood to the eyes. Blood is responsible for transporting vital nutrients needed to maintain clear and healthy eyesight. Plus, these nutrients help fight free radical damage. Currently, there is no widely accepted medical treatment for age related macular degeneration. If we can’t cure it or treat it, we need to do whatever we can to help prevent it. What Are Antioxidants? Antioxidants are Mother Nature’s protection from unhealthy oxidation by free radicals. They break the chain reaction properties of free radicals by significantly delaying, inhibiting or preventing oxidation. Some antioxidants are able to bind to free radicals and inactivate or kill them. Other antioxidants enhance the body’s own defense system. It is critical to understand that different antioxidants work in different ways and have their own unique abilities to protect us. Many components of a healthy diet are, in fact, antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating one of their own electrons, ending the electron stealing reaction. Thus, they act as scavengers, helping to prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular damage and disease. The two most well known antioxidants are Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Thousands of research reports have been published in scientific journals regarding their importance to health. Vitamin C is water-soluble and is important in protecting the “aqueous” parts of our cells and tissues, while Vitamin E is oil soluble and protects the “lipid” portions, especially cellular membranes. Numerous studies have been conducted to test the role antioxidants have in the development of heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s disease and other diseases linked to excessive oxidation. World's most Potent Antioxidant For many years now, MegaH® has been shown to rid your body of toxins and free radicals like no other nutritional supplement in the world! It is one of the most powerful antioxidants ever measured with the ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) Meter. MegaH® and MegaHydrate® also restores energy to your body. Each time you consume a capsule of MegaH®, powerful things are happening to improve your overall health. With MegaH® you can:
Antioxidant Activity MegaH® and MegaHydrate® have both been shown to be an incredibly potent antioxidant; protecting the body from free radical damage. Silica Hydride with Microcluster® technology has been shown in numerous published scientific studies as an antioxidant compound. The negatively-charged hydrogen ions react with free radicals to neutralize the harmful effects of the radicals. These free radicals, more correctly called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), if not combated, accumulate in the body and create an environment called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has been scientifically proven to be either a direct cause, or closely related to, the inception of cancer, eye disorders, blood and vascular diseases, health problems and organ failure. Silica Hydride has been tested for effectiveness against the most harmful, as well as abundant, ROS – including, but not limited to, singlet oxygen, superoxide, and hydroxyl radicals. In all the tests, Silica Hydride not only eliminated the ROS by neutralizing them, but did not become a radical itself, and did not create any toxic environment. The byproduct of most of the reactions between Silica Hydride and a radical is water. The problem with some antioxidants lies in the nature of chemical reactions in that the substance that reacts to neutralize the free radical becomes a radical, sometimes toxic to the cell and the cells around it. PHI Sciences’ published research -- conducted in-house, as well as by prestigious universities – shows that the unique formulation and chemistry of Silica Hydride ensures that no toxic byproduct is created. Comparing the effectiveness of Silica Hydride on ROS to other natural, and even synthetic antioxidant compounds, shows that Silica Hydride is 800% more effective than the leading products on the market.
While on a regimen of four capsules of MegaH® per day for two weeks, subjects showed a 43% increase in free radical protection as compared to the placebo group, and reduced aging (in terms of dehydration) by 5 years! Further studies revealed that MegaH® has the ability to scavenge the superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical, the most dangerous of oxygen free radicals. Each capsule contains 300 mg of Nanocolloidal silicate mineral; a compound of silica and hydrogen anions that contain loosely bound extra electrons. The extra electron is freely given to neutralize free radicals, rendering them harmless. MegaH® is unique because hydrogen, being the smallest element, can provide trillions of these electrons in each capsule. Anti-aging and Life Extension MegaH® and MegaHydrate® are the breakthrough nutritional inventions by Dr. Patrick Flanagan. To understand why Silica Hydride is so important, the concept of hydrogen is first required to understand. Most people know that hydrogen is essential for life. Oxygen burns hydrogen to create the energy that drives our body. The transport of hydrogen is considered by many as the missing factor in the search for the cause of the aging process and the secret to age reversal. As we grow older, cells dehydrate and our hydrogen pool depletes. The hydrogen pool protects cells from free radical damage. Virtually all longevity researchers agree that free radicals are responsible for the aging process. However, in the debate on aging lies the long, unresolved paradox that while oxygen is the source of all life, it is also the cause of aging. Dr. Flanagan devoted a tremendous effort to find an antioxidant that can control and reverse cell damage by oxidative free radicals. Oxidative free radical damage is to human cells as rust is to metal. Hydrogen protects human cells from oxidative free radical damage and provides energy to cells when they need oxygen. Your Biological Terrain With the proper biological terrain, the body can exercise its amazing capacity to restore itself. One component of a healthy terrain is pH balance. A pre-clinical trial showed that in eight patients, saliva pH and urine pH both showed improvement over a period of 18 days by supplementing with 4 capsules of MegaH® per day. The Magic of pH Balance
Energy Production We all know that our bodies need an adequate supply of oxygen to survive; however, few people realize the important role that hydrogen plays in our health. Oxygen burns hydrogen; therefore, producing energy to fuel the living system. Hydrogen and oxygen combine to produce ATP, the energy molecule that brings life to every cell in your body. ATP production is dependent on the production of NADH. Silica Hydride with Microcluster® technology has been scientifically proven to increase energy production within the body and its advanced biochemical reactions. Through two mechanisms, called the “citric acid cycle” and the “electron transport chain”, Silica Hydride provides the optimum environment and reagent needed for the body to naturally and effectively produce increased amounts of compounds that yield energy on a cellular level as well as on a noticeable physical level. The compounds produced are Adenosine 5-Triphosphate (ATP) and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH). These two compounds, ATP and NADH, are the powerhouses that provide energy the body uses naturally to perform other reactions, and also providing appropriate hydration to cells and to fuel energy needs. An in vivo study has shown that MegaH® can reduce NAD+; therefore, producing NADH. NADH carries hydrogen into the mitochondria of the cell for use in the electron transport chain. The reactions that take place at this point ultimately create water and ATP. This is why athletes and other users have reported a noticeable increase in energy when consuming MegaH®. Research has clearly shown that the Silica Hydride with Microcluster® technology increases the ATP and NADH production in cells by two to four times the average production without stressing the cells. Cellular Communication The trillions of cells in our bodies must communicate with each other to maintain life. This intricate system of communication takes place through electrons. Electrons cannot move in the body without hydrogen (Albert Szent-Gyorgyl). MegaH® provides an abundant supply of negatively charged hydrogen ions, giving your body the electrons it needs to keep communication flowing at the cellular level. Nutrient Absorption One capsule of MegaH® in a glass of water reduces the surface tension of the water from 73 dynes to 45 dynes. This gives ordinary water the same surface tension as normal, healthy extra-cellular fluid. This is important because when the water you drink becomes more like your extra-cellular fluid, your body’s ability to absorb nutrients is greatly improved. Your cells are constantly taking in nutrients for use and flushing out toxins for elimination. Proper surface tension greatly enhances the efficiency of these cellular reactions. Testimonials also indicate that MegaH® may play a substantial role in increasing cellular absorption of oxygen. Mountain climbers who consume MegaH® have reported reaching record heights without the use of supplemental oxygen. Reduce Lactic Acid A clinical study reported in the Fall 2001 issue of The Journal of Medicinal Food has shown that lactic acid was reduced 50% during strenuous exercise in athletes who took MegaH®. Lactic acid is a natural compound produced in the muscles during exercise. When it accumulates to high levels it can cause painful muscle cramps, sore muscles the next day and can prolong recovery time between workouts. MegaH® can benefit anyone who works out or participates in endurance sports by providing energy to the cells and reducing lactic acid build-up. Safety MegaH® consists of safe, natural source minerals. Once consumed, it releases negatively charged hydrogen ions, normally found in fresh organic fruits and vegetables, to provide the life energy that is not provided by our modern diets. Our bodies need these electrons to function properly on the cellular level and to maintain a healthy biological terrain. Acute oral toxicity tests performed by an independent laboratory show safety up to 5 mg/kg of body weight - far above the suggested dosage, indicating that MegaH® is extremely safe. New Defense Against Free Radicals Recent research in the area of antioxidants reveals a number of antioxidants are needed for optimum protection against the many different types of free radicals that threaten our health. Different antioxidants scavenge different free radicals. There are antioxidants classified as water-based, and those classified as oil-based. It is important to consume both types because they target different free radicals. MegaH® combines the most electron-rich antioxidant in the world, and the most effective cell delivery system – NanoClusters.
MegaHydrate™ is the key that unlocks the potential of water as the medium for nutrient replenishment and waste removal at the cellular level. In a state of dehydration, body cells cannot assimilate nutrients and remove waste. Dehydration also occurs as a side effect of caffeine. Caffeine effects include anxiety, dizziness, headaches, sleep disorders, and many common ailments. MegaHydrate™ also helps fight the negative effects of alcohol, stress, and free radicals as part of aging. In addition to hydration, MegaHydrate™ is the most powerful known antioxidant food. Since it is a "pure" antioxidant that does not turn into a free radical itself, when taken daily, MegaHydrate™ delivers far more Hydrogen ions than by eating pounds of raw fruits and vegetables or drinking gallons of "healing waters," also known as "glacial milk." Humans need Hydrogen to survive. It is the key to longevity and anti-aging. However, due to mass food production, mineral deficient soil, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, over-processing of foods, chemical preservatives, and drinking over-chlorinated and over-fluoridated water, people do not get enough Hydrogen ions daily. Body cells become damaged, hydration levels decrease and cells age. In summary, MegaHydrate™ challenges the symptoms of dehydration and minimizes the process of aging.
MegaHydrate™ -- the first scientifically proven supplement for hydration – is a dietary supplement that is considered by the FDA as a food grade supplement, rich in antioxidants. Antioxidant foods like MegaHydrate™ help defy the aging process. It is safe, having been tested and shown to have no known side effects. MegaHydrate™ is the most powerful Antioxidant ever discovered! Scientific studies validate that ionized hydrogen delivered into the bloodstream is the most powerful Free Radical scavenger available to us today. Life extension studies confirm that people in remote regions of the world who live beyond 100 years of age consume water that is rich in ionized hydrogen. MegaHydrate™ is the first and only product that guarantees delivery of ionized hydrogen directly into the bloodstream via Dr. Patrick Flanagan’s patented Nanotechnology – Microclusters.
Why Take MegaHydrate™? Find out how this whole food grade supplement and antioxidant can benefit you. Dramatic breakthroughs in overcoming disease are being published in some of the world's most prestigious scientific journals as a result of the Hydration movement. At the same time, thousands of Scientists and Medical Doctors around the world, like Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, MD, are evangelizing the popular prescription for health –"Don't over-medicate, HYDRATE!" Science and Medicine have been seeking and studying miracle healing waters for decades. High elevation regions such as the Hunza in Pakistan, Villacabamba in Ecuador, Badenbaden in Germany, and others have been reputed to have healing waters for many generations. People who live in these regions and drink the water are known to live long, healthy, active lives well over 100 years of age. For ages, man has made pilgrimages to these remote regions in order to drink their "healing waters." For over three decades, Dr. Patrick Flanagan has studied the remote regions of the world where people live healthy active lives past the age of 100 years. While the diets in these regions differed dramatically, Dr. Flanagan discovered the amazing fact that the drinking water in these regions was almost identical and came from frozen glaciers that had melted. This water, known in some circles as "glacial milk," displays some very distinct physical differences from the water that most of the civilized world is drinking. The surface tension of glacial milk is much lower. This means that the water can be absorbed directly into the cells of the body with much greater ease facilitating hydration and nutrient uptake. It also means that waste materials can be removed from the cells more easily by the same life-giving water. Dr. Flanagan also discovered that glacial milk, or "life water," had very distinct physical properties of viscosity, heat, and energy potential. After decades of laboratory and field research and study, Dr. Flanagan uncovered what may be the most important discovery about the true nature of hydration. He discovered why the waters are so different and can hydrate the human cell so effectively where people of these remote regions live well past 100 years of age. For thousands of years, man has trekked to the mountains and the sea for physical, emotional, and spiritual replenishment. Dr. Flanagan discovered that the water from these regions contains massive quantities of negatively-charged hydrogen ions. Several decades ago, this fact was confirmed by other scientists. Negatively-charged ions have proven to be highly beneficial to the human organism. Hydrogen is one of the primordial elements that fuels the development of all life on Earth. Provided by the Sun as rays of light, human beings cannot live without Hydrogen. While science refers to us as carbon-based life forms, man is actually a Silica-based and Hydrogen-based life form. All life on Earth is Hydrogen-based. When plants absorb sunlight, they store negatively-charged Hydrogen ions through the process of photosynthesis. When you eat unprocessed plants, your body's cells utilize the nutrients in those plants and, perhaps more importantly, the electrical charge of the Hydrogen ions in those plants. When your body burns Hydrogen and Oxygen, it generates the energy you need for every single process of life. As a matter of fact, nearly every life form on the planet utilizes Hydrogen and Oxygen to generate energy. The key is that without Hydrogen, there is no life. Hydrogen is the smallest known element (atom) in the Universe. All living things must have Hydrogen to sustain life. Hydrogen is the key to life, death, and aging. Without Hydrogen ions, there would be no life on Earth. As a result of Dr. Flanagan's discoveries, many Scientists now believe that the quantity of Hydrogen ions in plants and water is a qualitative indicator of its energy potential. Hydrogen ions are a key fuel and energy source for the human body. Negatively-charged Hydrogen ions can determine the overall health of every cell in the human body. The human body must breathe to get Oxygen, and must eat and drink to get Hydrogen ions. Without breathing Oxygen, the body dies. Without eating or drinking sources of Hydrogen ions, the body has no source of energy and dies. The fact is that Human Cells need Hydrogen and Oxygen in order to generate the energy we call life. The primary source of Hydrogen ions for the human body are fresh uncooked plants, fruits, vegetables, and water. Due in no small part to mass food production, mineral deficient soil, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, over-processing of foods, the addition of chemical preservatives, and drinking over-chlorinated and over-fluoridated water, millions of individuals are not getting enough Hydrogen ions daily. Cell damage occurs when the body has insufficient Hydrogen ions (and sufficient Oxygen). The body's cells become oxidized like Oxygen rusts iron. When certain chemicals in the body lose an electron, they become positively charged and are called "free radicals" or "oxidants". These chemicals roam freely through the rest of the body stealing electrons from other cells. Free radicals damage cellular DNA and cause “oxidative stress”. The majority of modern science has come to the conclusion that free radical damage in the human body is the major cause of aging. Science has also discovered that aging is not a natural function of time passing. Aging is evidence of the damage to millions of the body's cells through oxidation. This oxidation is due to the lack of Hydrogen ions that are available to stop free radical damage. The human body is under siege by free radicals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Pollution, chemicals, fumes, toxins, and other poisonous materials only add to the damage that the body endures on a daily basis. The amount of free radical damage is equivalent to the amount you have aged. The best known antioxidants – prior to Dr. Flanagan's pure Hydrogen ion product – were Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Green Tea Extract and Grape Seed Extract. Both Green Tea and Grape Seed Extracts have many times more antioxidant potential than either Vitamin E or Vitamin C. Scientific evidence proves that MegaHydrate™ is 800 times more powerful as an antioxidant than either Green Tea Extract or Grape Seed Extract. There is no known antioxidant more powerful than MegaHydrate™. More importantly, because MegaHydrate™ is so pure, you get far more Hydrogen ions from a daily supplement of MegaHydrate™ than from eating pounds of raw fruits and vegetables and drinking gallons of water from the Hunza region. The active ingredient in MegaHydrate™ is Silica Hydride. One very important characteristic of the antioxidant capacity of Silica Hydride is that it is the only antioxidant that does not turn into a free radical (i.e., oxidant) after it has neutralized a free radical by donating its electron. Negatively-charged hydrogen turns into benign gas and/or turns into water. Two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom make water – H2O. Without water, there is no life. Dr. Flanagan stunned the scientific community with the discovery that the configuration of the minerals within the water, not just their existence, provides glacial milk with its unique hydration and life-giving properties. In order to replicate these beneficial elements of glacial milk water, Dr. Flanagan spent the past three decades on the development of a simple and easy-to-use Silica Hydride powder that can hold Hydrogen ions stable over time and releases them in your body when they come in contact with water. MegaHydrate™ is the product of a lifetime of research and development by Dr. Patrick Flanagan. There is no other product available on the planet like MegaHydrate™ that delivers billions of negatively-charged Hydrogen ions to the cells of the body by simply taking it with water. MegaHydrate™ contains the active ingredient Silica Hydride, a compound known to positively affect the "zeta potential" of blood cells. Zeta potential (x) is the electric potential, or charge, that exists in a hydrated particle and the surrounding solution. Zeta potential is an important and useful indicator that this charge can be used to predict and control the stability of colloidal suspensions. The greater the zeta potential, the more likely the suspension will be stable because the charged particles repel one another and thus overcome the natural tendency to aggregate. Zeta potential is an electrical charge that describes how far apart cells are, and a higher zeta potential indicates more space between cells. Increased zeta potential has many positive health benefits. More zeta potential means more surface area for cells. Toxins, viral matter, fungi, and bacteria trapped between cells can be expunged more readily. More importantly, water enters cells more easily. Water is arguably the most vital component of anti-aging, life extension, and the removal of free radicals and waste. The following test has been performed and replicated by several groups of scientists with the same results. It provides yet more data indicating that MegaHydrate™ is a contributor to good health. PHOTO 1 below shows a microscopic view of a blood sample from a subject with “low zeta potential.” The blood cells are clustered together and trap waste elements between them. Note the clustering effect may be a result of dehydration from caffeine, alcohol, heat, and stress – all of which are commonly found in people today. The test subject was given 500 mg (or two 250 mg capsules) of Silica Hydride - the active ingredient in MegaHydrate™ - mixed with 8 oz of purified water. Twenty minutes later, another blood sample taken from the test subject was viewed under a microscope (as seen in PHOTO 2 below). The evenly-dispersed blood cells indicate “high zeta potential.” The blood cells appear pristine, as if the substances trapped between the cells have been cleansed. The surface area of the cells has increased allowing exponentially more nutrients into the cells and more toxins to be removed. MegaHydrate™’s Silica Hydride is the only known supplement to dramatically increase “zeta potential”.
Nationwide Food Consumption Surveys have shown that a significant portion of the population may be dehydrated. Why do people lack hydration? This may be due to a poor thirst mechanism as we get older (click here to read more), dissatisfaction with the taste of water, the consumption of caffeine and alcohol, climate controlled environments (both heated and air conditioned), and excessive exercise. With water loss at only 2% of body weight, individuals experience impaired physiological and mental performance. Double blind placebo studies clearly demonstrate that the Silica Hydride in MegaHydrate™ dramatically increases total body water in just four weeks! MegaHydrate™ is a dietary supplement that is considered by the FDA as a food grade supplement rich in antioxidants. MegaHydrate™ is safe, and has been tested and shown to have no known side effects. Many individuals taking MegaHydrate™ experience the following benefits: True Hydration:
Super Antioxidation:
Natural Pain Relief:
Silica Hydride with Microcluster® technology, the active ingredient in MegaH™ and MegaHydrate™, aids in the relief of pain. Through production of energy in the body in the form of Adenosine 5-Triphosphate (ATP) and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH), the body's neuroreceptors are designed to relieve discomfort, and able to increase cellular vitality, increasing the immune system efficacy. ATP and NADH have been shown to aid in the regulation and production of epinephrine and norepineprhine, two biochemicals that are involved with pain mechanisms. Additionally, MegaH™ and MegaHydrate™ have been clinically proven to reduce lactic acid in muscles after exercise. Lactic acid buildup in the muscles causes discomfort, stiffness, and fatigue. World and state champion (2001 and 2002) and two-time California record holder, Malia Weinress states, "While taking MegaH™, I'm extremely impressed with the rapid muscle recovery after my strength training workouts. Since my first day, I've used MegaH™ before and after my heavy workouts, I have felt a difference! I have more of an explosion of energy and power in every lift that I perform. I have increased my weights in training by 30%. I am looking forward to getting another first place in the World Powerlifting Competition in 2003. I also use MegaH™ on my off-workout days, and enjoy the balanced energy throughout my twelve-hour workdays and "mama time" with my two children. My body has never been more functional after pressing its limits. If it weren't for MegaH™, I would not be able to walk normally or maintain normal muscular function after my intense workouts." Energy Production Silica Hydride with Microcluster® technology, the active ingredient in MegaH™ and MegaHydrate™, has been scientifically proven to increase energy production within the body advanced biochemical reactions. Through two mechanisms called the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, Silica Hydride provides the optimum environment and reagents needed for the body to naturally and effectively produce increased amounts of compounds that yield energy on a cellular level as well as on a noticeable physical level. The compounds produced are Adenosine 5-Triphosphate, known as ATP and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, NADH. These two compounds, ATP and NADH are the powerhouses that provide energy the body uses naturally to perform other reactions, also providing appropriate hydration to cells and to fuel energy needs. Research has clearly indicated that the Silica Hydride, with Microcluster® technology products created by Dr. Flanagan, increases the ATP and NADH production in cells by two to four times average production without stressing the cells. Dr. Flanagan's products are the only nutritional supplements with scientifically proven, peer-reviewed publications in energy production.

One of history’s greatest scientists is Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Henri Coanda, the discoverer of fluid dynamics, and the holder of more than 600 patents. Dr. Coanda became intrigued with the drinking water in the Hunza land, high in the Karkorum Mountains, just north of Pakistan, where the typical life span of its population is 120 to 140 years. After years of research, the aging Dr. Coanda found another scientist to continue and carry forward his research; he recognized the genius in a 17-year-old science prodigy – Patrick Flanagan – when they had worked together at a high level US Defense Department “think tank” of prominent scientists. Patrick Flanagan had been featured in Life Magazine in 1962 as one of the ten most promising young scientists in America. History since then has proven that Patrick has lived up to that accolade. He currently has over 300 inventions to his credit. In 1997, Dr. Flanagan was named Scientist of the Year by the International Association for New Science.
Continuing with the research on Hunza Water, Dr. Flanagan found a rich amount of negatively-charged hydrogen ions in Hunza Water. Hydrogen – with its single electron – is the ultimate antioxidant ~ a powerful neutralizer of free radicals. This led to the development of Silica Hydride MegaH®, a dietary supplement that delivers negatively-charged hydrogen ions to the body, and, most recently, MegaHydrate®, the first scientifically-proven supplement to increase hydration! Silica Hydride also increases “zeta potential”, or the “net charge of particles” – i.e., blood cells that determine “how clustered” the cells are when in the body. Increasing zeta potential enables fluids to travel between cells and the ability to flush toxins and absorb water into the cells. Dr. Flanagan discovered that Hunza Water had other different physical properties involving health, energy, and viscosity. After ten more years of research, he made a major breakthrough with a discovery that may affect mankind in the years ahead. He developed a mineral catalyst that reduces nutritional elements to an entirely new type of mineral colloid, the smallest size ever achieved: a submicroscopic size only 12 atoms in diameter. These tiny Microclusters® act as microscopic transport vehicles, dramatically reducing the size of nutrients and delivering them directly into the cells – about five to ten nanometers in diameter. Microclusters® are so small that 2.4 million of them can be placed side by side on the head of a pin. Incredibly, they have an enormous surface area of about 240,000 square feet per ounce. Microclusters® surround tiny nutrient particles with an electrically-charged mineral coating which protects the nutrients until they are absorbed into the cells – usually quite rapidly. Dr. Flanagan had finally succeeded in duplicating all of the properties of Hunza Water. When nutritional substances are reduced to this dimension, electrons move actively over these surfaces, creating a powerful charge that attracts water molecules; therefore, hydrating the nutrients even more and increasing its absorption rate and its attraction to the cells. Not only does it reduce the surface tension to the desired level, it also changes its other physical properties into the structure of the water that surrounds the cells. To convert nutrients into nano-colloidal silicates, Dr. Flanagan developed a 33-Step process, using three minerals present in human tissue. This process produced the catalyst Microclusters®, which increases absorption of nutrients. It is shown in studies to have a 300% higher absorption than the same nutrient without Microclusters®. This greatly improves the absorption rate of many of your nutritional supplements. The current state of these NanoTechnologies has opened the 21st Century with incredible possibilities for life extension and the increase in quality of life. The remarkable work of Dr. Patrick Flanagan has been brought alive by his peers who describe him as one of the most incredible scientists since Nikola Tesla’s groundbreaking work with energy.
Published research conducted at prestigious universities validates that the unique formulation and chemistry of Silica Hydride Microclusters® in MegaH™ and MegaHydrate are safe and contain no toxic byproducts. Antioxidants defend human body cells by neutralizing the damaging effects of free radicals, a byproduct of cell metabolism. Free radicals form when oxygen is metabolized, or burned, by the body. Free radicals disrupt the structure of other molecules, causing cellular damage. This cell damage is believed to contribute to aging and various health problems. Some well-known antioxidants include compounds normally present in food such as Vitamin E, beta-carotene, the carotenoids, Vitamin C, zinc, and selenium. Antioxidants retard oxidation and are sometimes added to meat and poultry products to prevent or slow oxidative rancidity of fats that cause browning. How Do MegaH™ and MegaHydrate™ differ MegaH™ – from PHI Sciences – is the most powerful antioxidant known. MegaH™ is a dietary supplement made exclusively by Phi Sciences. Its main active ingredient, Silica Hydride, contains Ionized Hydrogen. Negatively-charged Ionized Hydrogen contains an extra electron that is microencapsulated, using a nanotechnology called Microclusters®. |
Here’s how all this comes together:
e ability of the cell to receive signals from other cells in order to perform or carry out an action, such as firing of a neuron. Thus, many other related cellular activities could be affected.
The pH level (acid-alkaline measurement) of your internal fluids impacts every cell in your body - which is constantly managing the pH levels within the fluids and tissues of your body. When it has difficulty doing this, it will have to compensate in a manner that often creates a counter balancing affect. For example: In order to neutralize acid, your body may pull calcium (which is an alkaline mineral) out of your bones in order to compensate for the lack of calcium within your body fluids . . . of course, the affect of this is osteoporosis. Chronic acidification in your body will interrupt cellular activities and functions.
The retiring Dr. Henri Coanda offered Patrick Flanagan the records of his research in this legendary “Fountain of Youth”, and asked him to carry on his life quest for the secret of longevity. Patrick accepted the challenge and continued the search. He began with studying the five remote regions of the world where people routinely live amazingly healthy lives past the age of 120 years. The diets in these five regions all differed. The only factor in common that could explain their long, healthy lives was their drinking water. In all five regions, the drinking water came from melted glaciers, and is physically and molecularly different from the water most of us drink. Their water has lower “surface tension”, and in several ways, has the same properties as the water that surrounds all the cells in our bodies. This water ~ called “glacial milk” ~ is best known in all the five regions as
