AMERICAN DISEASE STATISTICS:There are 316,148,990 people in America, according to the US Census Bureau.

FACT:According to the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute, there were 1,660,290 NEW cases of Cancer, in the U.S, in 2013. This included 82,770 cases of skin cancer. There were 580,350 Cancer deaths in the U.S. in 2013.

Unfortunate Truth:Most of the 580,350 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 2013.

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, 1.9 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year. 30 – 50% of all new cases of Type 2 diabetes are in children, between the ages of 9 and 19 years old! From 1988-2008 there was a 128% increase in Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes cost $245 Billion a year. Diabetes contributes to 231,404 deaths

annually.

Unfortunate Truth:Most of the 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 $216 Billion. There were 83,494

Alzheimer's deaths in the U.S. in 2010.

Unfortunate Truth: The 83494 deaths were a 47.1% increase from 2006, 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.

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?

Page 9: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

WHATDo these diseases have in

common?

Answer: Massive amounts of Free-Radical Damage, Also known as Oxidative Stress.

Page 10: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

DIRECT Antioxidant Supplements and Antioxidant rich foods are everywhere

and promoted heavily…

Page 11: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

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!

Page 12: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

BUT, Do they make a difference in the 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Free-Radicals your body produces, every day?

The Ratio of Benefit is 1:1(ONE Antioxidant, neutralizes ONE Free-Radical)

Page 13: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

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. Beta-carotene. Dark Chocolate. Vitamin E. Red Wine. Green Tea. You name it, if it's an antioxidant, we'll swallow it by the bucket load, 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!...”

Page 14: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

THE ANTIOXIDANT TRUTH: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.

The Ratio of Benefit is 1:1,000,000(ONE Antioxidant, neutralizes ONE MILLION Free-Radicals/second)

“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.”

“… We need to slow the rate of aging to avoid the frailty that would make longevity less desirable.”

The Key: Slowing the Rate of Aging

Page 17: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

• 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.

Scientists agree that aging and most deadly diseases, are the direct result of cellular deterioration, due to destructive molecules, called free-radicals.

Page 18: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

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!

Page 19: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

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.

Free-Radical damage increases predictably as you age

Page 20: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

• 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!

Peer Reviewed Scientific Scrutiny

Page 21: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

• Protandim® signal the body’s genes to produce its own antioxidant enzymes which is NRF2.

• This natural process produces enzymes Millions of times more efficient than conventional (Direct) sources of antioxidants, from food or supplements.

Why is Protandim ® so effective?

Page 22: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

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 ? 

Page 23: Antioxidants - Oxidative Stress VS Nrf2

For best results, it is recommended to take one caplet of Protandim per day.

1 Bottle of Protandim contains 30 caplets, enough for a month’s supply, for one person.

Monthly cost is: $40 per bottle, plus tax and S&H.

All you need to do to begin taking Protandim, is go to protandim-truescience.com, Click Buy Now, enter your purchase information. Your order will be shipped directly to your door, every month, on the day you choose!

Good Health is NOT Expensive…It’s PRICELESS!
