different pathologies culminating in death.
    H ORMONE I MBALANCE
    Hormones are a language. They all speak to one another. It’s a delicate symphony keeping perfect balance. Imbalance and missing hormones are often a contributing cause to many diseases associated with aging, including depression, osteoporosis, coronary artery disease, and loss of libido. Replacing declining hormones must be done by a qualified physician. My resource section will direct you to a doctor who specializes in hormone replacement in an area nearest you.
    E XCESS C ALCIFICATION
    Calcium ions are transported into and out of cells through calcium channels in the cell membrane. Aging disrupts calcium transport, and the result is excess calcium infiltration into the cells of the brain, heart valves, and middle arterial wall, causing arteriosclerosis.
    F ATTY A CID I MBALANCE
    The body requires essential fatty acids to maintain cell energy output. Aging causes alterations in enzymes required to convert dietary fats into the specific essential fatty acids the body requires to sustain life. The effects of a fatty acid imbalance may manifest as an irregular heartbeat, joint degeneration, low energy, hypercoagulation (tendency for blood to clot), dry skin, or many other common ailments associated with normal aging.
    DNA M UTATION
    Toxins mutate cellular DNA and cause cancer cells to form. Aging cells lose their DNA gene repair mechanisms, causing these cells to grow out of control—in other words, turn into cancer cells.
    I MMUNE D YSFUNCTION
    As we age, the immune system loses its ability to attack bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Aging people have excessive levels of dangerous cytokines that cause the immune system to turn onitself and create autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and others.
    E NZYME I MBALANCE
    Cell function inside our bodies depends on multiple enzymatic reactions to occur with precise timing. Aging causes enzyme imbalance, mainly in the brain and the liver. This can result in neurological diseases like Parkinson’s, or persistent memory loss. Impaired liver function results in toxic damage to every cell in the body.
    E XCITOTOXICITY
    The aging brain loses control of its release of neurotransmitters such as glutamate and dopamine, which results in brain damage and brain cell destruction.
    C IRCULATORY D EFICIT
    Blood flow to the brain, eyes, and skin becomes impaired as we age. Disorders of the eye due to poor blood flow include cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Major strokes and ministrokes are common with circulatory deficit to the brain. The skin of all aging people shows the lack of nutrient-rich blood to the upper layers. The prime underlying cause of circulatory deficits is endothelial dysfunction, which destroys the inner lining of blood vessels and eliminates their ability to efficiently transport blood.
    L OSS OF Y OUTHFUL G ENE E XPRESSION
    As we age, genes that are required to sustain youthful cell function change. Those genes that maintain cell health are slowly “turned off” while genes that make us vulnerable to degenerative pathologies get “turned on.” When cells lose their youthful gene expression, we are subject to multiple diseases and eventual death.
    L OSS OF I NSULIN S ENSITIVITY
    When we are young, we efficiently utilize carbohydrates for energy with a minimal amount of them getting converted to fat. As we age and we lose our sensitivity to insulin, we beginto suffer the effects: chronically high blood glucose and high insulin.
    Every one of these toxic mechanisms involved in accelerated aging can be mitigated by following the simple steps outlined in chapter 18 , “Advanced Age Reversal.”
     
JUST SAY NO TO THE TWO BIGGEST
AGE PROMOTERS: SMOKING AND TOO
MUCH ALCOHOL
     
    And finally, there are two other major negative influences on health and aging that you no doubt already know about: smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. These are the two biggies. The amount of harm
