“There are two objects of medical education: to heal the sick and to advance the science.”
- Dr. Charles H. Mayo, MD
“The glory of medicine is that it is always moving forward, that there is always more to learn.”
- Dr. William J. Mayo

Learning objectives• Review basic physiology of nutrition• Science of micronutrients• ONE case study – nutrition and how it may relate
to aging • Clinical importance of antioxidants• Raman Spectroscopy and the Pharmanex
Biophotonic scanner• “The FUD Factor”• Changes in medical practice as a result of these
topics

Human nutritional physiology in one slide• Requirements in diet:
– Macronutrients – provide calories:
• C,H, O atoms:– Carbs (can be made from proteins with gluconeogenisis)– fat – some are essential and cannot be synthesized
» (large amounts of processed vegetable oils skew Omega 6:3 ratio)
• protein – (C, H, O, and N – nitrogen containing essential & non-essential amino acids)
• fiber, water
– Micronutrients:• Minerals – both essential and trace
• Vitamins
• Less well established: antioxidants /phytochemicals

Huge reduction in Vit D & Iodine in last 40 years (source: www.vitamindwiki.com)
2X to 3X less Vitamin D 4X less IodineAir conditioning, sunscreen, multi-media Less Iodine in milk (no longer used
on cows)indoor jobs, less cholesterol, more obesity Less Iodine in bread (no longer
used in processing)live in cities - which have less UVB Increased use of Iodine blockers:
Fluoride Chlorine and Bromide (used in flour)
also perchlorate in some fertilizersincreased used of farmed fish (1/4 the Vit D) Less iodine in salt:
1) Use table salt much less 2)No Iodine in salt used in processed foods
3) half of iodized salt does not meet requirements
Swiss have increased iodine in ALL of their salt – from 3.75 mg/kg in 1975 to 20 mg/kg in 1998. Their intake > 2X US.

Magnesium mementos• One of the first minerals to disappear with:
– Processed food– Stress
• Decreased by EtOH, caffeine, sodas, meds
• Considered “anti-stress” mineral– Decreases cortisol (rel to sleep disruption)– Relaxes muscles, prevents cramps (sleep
disruption)– Decreases anxiety; improves sleep

SELENIUM DEFICIENCY in FASEB:
• “Adaptive dysfunction of selenoproteins from the perspective of the ‘triage’
theory: why modest selenium deficiency may increase risk of diseases of aging.”
Foundation of American Societies for Experimental Biology
McCann, J, Ames BM. FASEB J. 2011 Jun;25(6):1793-814.
![Page 15: New Concepts in Micronutrient Adequacy and Health Optimization - Cady = May 1 2014](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55615f77d8b42a72628b48a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“the foot soldier”
LifePak Nano has 200% of RDA of selenium.
Se+
THYROID HORMONE
& 76% the RDA for iodine
![Page 16: New Concepts in Micronutrient Adequacy and Health Optimization - Cady = May 1 2014](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55615f77d8b42a72628b48a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“The concomitant evolution between plasma Se decrease over a 9-year period and cognitive decline suggested that optimal Se status is potentially important to maintain neuropsychological functions in aging people.”
“The concomitant evolution between plasma Se decrease over a 9-year period and cognitive decline suggested that optimal Se status is potentially important to maintain neuropsychological functions in aging people.”

Negative downstream effects from selenium deficiency:
“…cancer, heart disease, and immune dysfunction are prospectively associated with modest selenium deficiency…. suggesting that Se deficiency could be a CAUSATIVE factor”

Fast food (low Zn) is bad for you.
• Fast food = high energy density = low essential micronutrient density, ESPECIALLY ZINC
• Antioxidant processes are dependent on Zinc• Fast food = severe decrease in antioxidant
vitamins and zinc, correlating with inflammation in testicular tissue – with underdevelopment of testicular tissue and decreased testosterone levels
![Page 19: New Concepts in Micronutrient Adequacy and Health Optimization - Cady = May 1 2014](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55615f77d8b42a72628b48a2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Special needs - Zinc
• Low Zinc- associated with low testosterone– Per USDA, 60% of US men between 20 – 49
years of age do not get enough.– N.B.: Do not supplement with > 50 mg daily (can
interfere with Cu+ metabolism)• Tsai, E.C., Boyko, E.J., Leonetti, D.L., & Fujimoto,
W.Y. (2000). Low serum testosterone level as a predictor of increased visceral fat in Japanese-American men. International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders, 24, 485-491

T vs. Cognitive Function• 400 independently living men, 40-80yo
– 100 in each age decade– MMSE 21-30, average 28– TT: 208-1141ng/dL; Bio-avail T 78-470ng/dL
• HIGHER T = better cognitive performance in OLDEST AGE category
• Men with lowest 1/5 T = worse than men with highest 1/5 T
• Highest Bio-available T more significant than TT, age, intelligence level, mood, smoking, and alcohol.
Muller M, et al. Neurology. 2005 Mar;64(5): 866-71

T vs. Mood in men
• Study: 278 men, >45yo, followed 2 years
• Compared to eugonadal patients, hypogonadal men w/TT <200ng/dL had – 4-fold increase risk of depression– Significantly shorter time to depression
diagnosis
• Depression risk inversely related to TT w/statistical significance <280ng/dL

levels of androgens than men with normal coronary angiograms. Eur Heart J. 2000 June; 21(11):890-4.
• “There is early evidence from non-randomized studies that physiological testosterone replacement is extremely safe and may reduce cardiovascular mortality.”– Hackett G. Testosterone and the heart. Int J Clin Pract. 2012
July;66(7):648-55.

Low T in aging male: The case of the Phrustrated Pharmacist (8/3/2014)
• 73 yo MWM retired (2009) R.Ph. “burned out.” Essentially sitting home depressed. Not going anywhere.
• Presenting Rx:– Fluoxetine – 40 mg – Seroquel 50 mg XR for sleep (??)– Hydralazine, amlodipine, Zocor, Meformin, ASA
• ROS: decrease in libido. Profound fatigue.

Mental Status Examination: • Depression:
– Sad/depressed/down in the dumps
– Lack of/loss of interest in things.
– Trouble concentrating
– Insomnia/trouble sleeping at times.
– Decreased energy
– Guilty/worthless – which is irrational – he has nothing to feel guilty about it. (6 total symptoms; 5 = required)
• Other sxs:– Weakness, hopeless, feeling life is not worth living, sleeping too
much, loss of libido, and full diagnostic criteria met for generalized anxiety disorder

– Out mowing his yard and mulching leaves
– Depressive symptoms ELIMINATED.
– Appetite has gone up; but clothes fitting better.
– Plenty of energy.
• 1/16/2014– “I’ve been doing good – I’m doing everything. I walk the dog
every day. I go to the soccer games.”
– Has gone to get OSA checked.
– Has lost so much weight (60 lbs) he’s using clothes pins on pajamas.

• 40,000 - 9/27/2013• 43,000 - 11/26/2013 (this is without a
lot of LifePak Nano and none in the last two weeks. He is eating more fruits and vegetables.)
• 43,000- 1/16/2014 on one pack

Final follow-up of Frustrated Fpharmasist – 4/15/2014
• Animated and alert. • Got hired to tutor pharmacology at local
community college. • Playing in handbell choir again.
– “I’m not very good – they let me play the half notes and whole notes with the great big bells.”
• Quipped about a customer he recalled who came in ask (in past) and asked for “methyl-testosteroney.”
• On CPAP for six weeks. Doing well.
![Page 33: New Concepts in Micronutrient Adequacy and Health Optimization - Cady = May 1 2014](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55615f77d8b42a72628b48a2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Teaching points• No change in antidepressants required to
ELIMINATE depression.• LifePak Nano used to support the structure &
function of the body.• Appropriate allopathic care given.• Predictable results occurred. • BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LAST 20 YEARS?• This way of thinking works in ALL specialties.

SHIFT: Vitamins
• They are essential nutrients (except Vit D)
• Deficiencies result in classic/obvious diseases:– Goiter, scurvy, osteoporosis, pernicious anemia,
impaired immune function, disorders of cell metabolism, some forms of cancer, premature aging, poor psychological health (including eating disorders)

The Effects of high dose B vitamins on stress at work
• “Occupational stress is increasing in Western societies.”
• 3 month, double blind, placebo control, randomized study
• Measured: Personality, work demands, mood, anxiety, and strain
• After variances in personality and work demands were
controlled, the vitamin B complex treated group reported significantly lower personal strain and a reduction in confusion and depressed/dejected mood after 12 weeks.

BTW – what does that “SCS” actually mean in REAL LAB MEASUREMENTS?• Y = 12703 * X + 5891.7
– Where Y is the SCS, and X is the carotenoid concentration in MICROgrams/ml, viz:
• 25,000 = 12703X + 5891.7• 25,000 – 5891.7 = 12703 * X• 19,108.3 = 12703 * X• 19,108.3 /12703 = X• X = 1.50 MICROgrams /ml
• Rule of thumb: 1,000 on SCS = .06 ug carotenoid/ml blood serum
• (e.g., SCS of 71,000 = 4.26 ug carotenoid/ml)

The GREAT news about a BAD study
Conclusions: “In older women, several commonly used dietary vitamin and mineral supplements may be associated with increased total mortality risk; this association is strongest with supplemental iron.”

Not so fast!• 18 year duration; 38,000 “older” white
women in Iowa
• Supplements: MVI’s, A, D, E, Beta-carotene, B –vitamins, iron, calcium, copper, magnesium selenium, and zinc.
• The real results:– Early results showed women who used C, D,
E, and Calcium had significantly lower rates of death
– Iron supplementation was highly correlated to death rates (but these results were mixed in)

A real hatchet job on MVI’s• Study measured “who dies over 18 years?”
– Average age at start – 61 yoa– Average age at end of study 82 yoa– Average mortality for ALL women in 2003, during
the time of the study, was 80 years of age.
• Conclusion: Over 50% of the women in the Iowa study lived longer than the average life expectancy.

More hatcheting – poor controls• Hormones (Premarin/provera)
– 13.5% of supplement users– 7.2% of non-supplement users

• Excess levels of vitamin A in some MVI brands
• No evaluation of the quality or potency of the supplements

Crash course on “how to lie on your studies”
• Bad control group– Example: recent “testosterone & mortality” study
• Misattribution of causality• Not reporting all of the data and discussing it in a
balanced fashion in your abstract– (most people just read the abstracts).
• Using inadequate doses of studied Rx• Using toxic or noxious doses of Rx• Use contaminated, impure test Rx• Confusing “sick user” phenomenon

“Perhaps the ability not only to acquire the confidence of the patient, but to deserve it, to see what the patient desires and needs, comes through the sixth sense we call intuition, which in turn comes from wide experience and deep sympathy for and devotion to the patient, giving to the possessor remarkableability to achieve results.”
