ASEA Stories: Kristin Sunderhaft, LPGA Golf pro

Up all day and night.

My good friend Stan calls me and says "Hey you wanna help me with Los Lobos", told him "Sure". The day started for me at 4 am. and ended at 12 am. All during the day Stan and I took sips off the new ASEA pouch with the anti backflow nozzle which prevents anything from getting in the pouch, we sailed thru the day with no problem. Thanks ASEA! By the way the concert was great and the guys are the best, they tour with Eric Clapton next year. Oh yeah, and let's not forget Les..Aloha still has pockets.
Los Lobos have also been nominated for two 2011 Grammy Awards for their critically acclaimed album Tin Can Trust. Track “Do The Murray” is up for Best Rock Instrumental, and Tin Can Trust has been nominated for Best Americana Album. Tune in to CBS on February 13th to watch the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards Show!

Reduce-Reuse-Recycle ASEA bottles

ASEA bottles are made from Number 2 High Density Polyethylene or HDPE 2. This opaque plastic is food grade,  the same type used for milk, pills and many other consumable products.

HDPE containers that are not food grade can outgas or leach into their contents, food-grade plastics are of a higher purity, and FDA-certified food-grade HDPE products are appropriate for food storage.

I've highlighted the recycle code on the bottom of the ASEA bottle in green. I refill them after taking off the label and refrigerate several for my bike rides. If my kids were still in soccer I'd pass them out to the team with a drawstring bag.

ASEA Athlete Sets Ironman 70.3 Record!

 

Congratulations to Ironman athlete and avid ASEA user James Lawrence!

At the beginning of 2010, James had a goal: to break the world record of number of Half Ironman Triathalons (called "Ironman 70.3" in the ahtletic world) in one year. When he contacted the Guiness World Record folks, they informed him that the old record was 16, but that to be extra sure, they would only accept a new record of 20 or higher.

To understand what that means, consider this: an Ironman 70.3 consists of a 1.2-mile swim, followed by a 56-mile bike ride, followed by a 13.1-mile run. To complete 20 of these in a year would mean that James would have to finish one every two and a half weeks!

So did James break the old record and hit the magic number of 20? No! He actually completed 22 Ironman 70.3 races! And he did it in just 30 weeks, meaning he averaged one race every nine and a half days!

And what role did ASEA play in helping James shatter the old record? "ASEA was definitely instrumental in my recovery," he says, "giving me every advantage I needed to break this record. I was scared to go off it while attempting this quest!"

James capped his amazing new record by competing in the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Clearwater, Florida in November. Way to go, James!

Exercise ball and free weights.

I've added in doing some 10 lb free weights and the exercise ball for sit ups along with the bike riding. I can work it in anytime of the day and it's always sitting out in plain view to remind me! I'm upping the amount of each series every week by 10 and at the end of a session I sure can feel it, but in a good way...
See you later, Mark

More bike riding

Increased the distance today and enjoyed a ride with my son who's visiting with his girlfriend. It's easier to be motivated when you have someone else with you and with the tradewinds blowing there was no reason not to.
Could feel it more in the legs but no issues with being out of breath, looking forward to riding uphill in a higher gear.

Verification Procedure for Reactive Molecules in ASEA™

I've gotten a few request for this.
Follow the link to view the pdf (adobe reader is required).
https://extranet.securefreedom.com/Asea/Personal/Resources/ReactiveMoleculeVerification%20-%20Update%20Jun%202010.pdf
Here's an excerpt from the paper:
The reactive molecules in ASEA™ are produced by a complex proprietary electrochemical process that reduces and oxidizes the base saline solution, resulting in an equilibrium of several known reactive molecules. These reactive molecules are stable in ASEA™ and measurable using standard analytic methods. Such reactive molecules are the same as those that are naturally produced inside of living cells and have been successfully measured over the last 30 years by the use of certain fluorescent dyes that act as indicators. Verification of the reactive molecules in ASEA™ is done regularly by utilizing three of these same standard fluorescent indicators, namely R-Phycoerythrin (RPE), Aminophenyl fluorescein (APF) and Hydroxyphenyl fluorescein (HPF). These fluorescent molecules physically change shape (and brightness) when they come into contact with specific reactive molecules. These conformal changes enhance or reduce the fluorescence of the indicators at certain given frequencies of light. This change in fluorescence is then measured using a fluorospectrometer that measures the intensity of the spectrum of light emitted from the indicators.

Description of Indicators:
The two new novel probes, Aminophenyl fluorescein (APF) and Hydroxyphenyl fluorescein (HPF) developed by Tetsuo Nagano et. al. (1), are selective for the detection of highly reactive oxygen species (hROS). Both probes have little reactivity towards other forms of ROS.
Assay Principle: Conformal changes in APF and HPF molecules change fluorescent properties.

Report for ASEA on Experimental Results

Report for ASEA on Experimental Results – In Vitro

Antioxidant Enhancement and Oxidative Stress Reduction.
Performed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)*

2009

*PNNL is not in any way endorsing ASEA, it merely acted as an independent laboratory in performing and producing these test results.
Purpose:
This document reports to ASEA the results of the in vitro tests run from February to March, 2009. Live cells in culture dishes were exposed to ASEA and the bioactivity regarding antioxidant activity of Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) as well as the increase in the native production of these antioxidants inside cells was measured. In addition, tests were run to determine if oxidative stress was reduced in the cells and that cell viability was enhanced by exposure to ASEA. Experimental Methods for Antioxidant Activity:
Cells were cultured in several dishes with a bovine serum growth medium. As a primary measure,mouse epithelial‐like cells were cultured (these cells react similarly to human cells) and later human endothelial cells were used to obtain relevant quantitative results.
In the antioxidant enhancement tests, some of the cell cultures were exposed to ASEA and others cultures to the same amount of an inert phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS). The antioxidant activity of the cells in each was measured by a purchased kit, Array Design Stressgen kit (#900‐158 for GPx activity and #900‐157 for SOD activity). The chemical reagents inside these kits measure the ability of the antioxidants in the cell extracts to reduce oxidant activity that occurs naturally when certain oxidizing biological chemicals are added. Due to the fact that some of the reactive molecules in ASEA might react and interfere with some of
the chemical agents in these kits, several preliminary experiments were done to examine the accuracy of the results based against known standards of antioxidant activity and adjustments were made.
Results of Antioxidant Activity Tests:
The first results obtained showed large, well‐defined effects. The cell extracts exposed to ASEA exhibited eight (8) times the antioxidant efficiency for GPx that those exposed to the inert PBS. The SOD antioxidant efficiency was slightly less, with about 5 times enhancements in efficiency. Of note, this efficiency was evident especially at low level concentrations of ASEA, tested down to 2.5% of full strength. Increasing the concentration of ASEA at high concentrations did not notably increase the antioxidant efficiency; thus there appears to be a very low saturation threshold at low concentrations of GPx. More experimentation would need to be done at very low concentrations of ASEA in order to understand the concentration dependence fully.
It is safe to say that at least a 500% improvement in the overall antioxidant efficiency was seen during these preliminary in vitro tests due to ASEA exposure.

*PNNL is not in any way endorsing ASEA, it merely acted as an independent laboratory in performing and producing these test results.
Experimental Methods for Antioxidant Up‐regulation:
In these experiments, some cultured human endothelial cells were exposed to ASEA and others only to an inert phosphate buffer solution (PBS). Standard Western Blot analysis on all cells was done to determine if exposure to ASEA activated the nucleus to call for increased production of antioxidants,such as GPx. The concentrations of transcription factors (messengers) in the nucleus that call for upregulation of antioxidants were also measured in human endothelial cells and compared to cells that had not been exposed to ASEA.
The movement of the transcription factors into the nucleus can be seen with certain dyes under a microscope and thus offers a way to see the call for up‐regulation of antioxidants without some of the obstacles presented by the use of endothelial cells.
Since the production of antioxidants can also be up‐regulated by exposure of the cells to certain low levels of inflammatory toxins, tests were done to make sure that ASEA was not provoking the cells to undergo this low‐level inflammatory or toxic response.
Results for Antioxidant Up‐Regulation:
The results for these tests were extraordinary in several regards. First, there was a real up‐regulation of anti‐oxidant production in cells exposed to ASEA. This effect was temporary, lasting only about 120 minutes but was clearly visible. The most interesting result, however, is that exposure to ASEA at any concentration did not invoke the normal inflammatory transcription factor (NF‐kappaB) and yet did
invoke the antioxidant transcription factor (NRF2). Stimulating the production of antioxidants without stimulation of low‐level inflammation is very rare and has stirred some interest in the scientific community.
The tests that measured the movement of transcription factors were controlled tests, they had “positive controls” that showed the test was working. For example, a small amount of a toxin that is known to cause the inflammatory response (movement of the NF‐kappaB transcription factor) was tested side by side with the ASEA, a positive response was very clearly seen with the toxin and no response was seen with ASEA. With the antioxidant up‐regulation transcription factor NRF2, positive movement of this transcription factor was seen in both ASEA and in the positive control. Hundreds of cells were observed in order to obtain these results.
These results were also verified by the Western Blot analysis showing clear responses in the increase of antioxidants upon exposure to ASEA relative to the saline control.

How The Body Heals Itself (from ASEA)

HOW THE BODY HEALS ITSELF
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Cellular damage occurs repeatedly every day Sunlight, toxins, chemicals, infections and other irritants damage cells every day. Cuts, scrapes, blows and other minor injuries cause damage to millions of cells and tissues that must be regenerated and replaced. Even exercise and exertion can damage cells, causing tenderness (strain) and muscle aches.
How does the body recognize damage?
When cells are damaged the natural balanced chemistry inside the cell is disturbed, causing a shift in healthy metabolism and oxidative stress results. Oxidative Stress is the natural build-up of oxidant molecules, including free radicals, in the liquid environment inside cells. Oxidative stress is the condition that sends up red flags to neighboring healthy cells that cells have been damaged in their neighborhood.
How does the body repair damage?
The immune system is activated by oxidative stress to kill the harmful invading organisms. The immune system also kills and dissolves damaged cells that cannot be repaired (swelling and redness mark this stage). The immune system uses oxidative “bullets” to kill invading organisms and dissolve damaged cells and foreign materials.
How does the body regenerate tissues?
Healthy balanced chemistry is restored after all invading organisms are dead and damage is cleaned up (the red flags are turned off). Restoration of this chemical balance turns off swelling and redness and stimulates neighboring healthy cells to divide and fill in the missing cells and tissue. Healthy cells still continue to divide and multiply until the gap has been filled in with healthy new cells.
How does the body maintain a healthy chemical balance?
Antioxidants, in conjunction with “Reductants,” neutralize stray oxidants in order to protect healthy cells. Antioxidants keep excess oxidants in check, neutralizing them and maintaining correct chemical balance. Cells produce antioxidants and deploy them to protect vulnerable areas inside and outside of the cell.
How are Reductants and oxidants made?
Reductants and oxidants are “reactive molecules” that are formed naturally in the cell, made from the simple atoms in the salt water that fill and surround the cells.
The Mitochondria inside the cells produce these reactive molecules both oxidants and Reductants and also produce the fuel used to energize the cell (ATP. The Reductants pair up with anti-oxidants to protect the cell from excess reactive oxygen and toxins. The oxidants are the weapon of choice used by the immune system to destroy invading organisms. Oxidants are also “red flags’ that call for help when the cell is damaged or under attack.
Why is a healthy chemical balance of “reactive molecules” important?
Too many oxidants in the cells or blood causes damage and aging to all tissue.
An incorrect balance of Reductants and oxidants can cause the immune system to attack healthy cells , inflame tissues and slows down the healing process.
Too few oxidants will remove the “red flags” and allow damaged, infected and malfunctioning cells (those that should be flagged and destroyed by the immune system) to thrive, divide and spread the damage.
How can I help maintain a healthy chemical balance?
Supplement the raw materials the body needs to support the immune system Raw, green vegetables, juices and herbs. Or, anti-oxidants and vitamin supplements.
Use products that have the correct balance of Reductants that enhance the action of the anti-oxidants. Maintain a proactive and healthy attitude – mental attitude measurably helps balance the body’s chemistry.

Comparing Kangen Water® and Asea
By LouAnn Savage

Sleeping deeper, feeling more rested, superb energy, improved skin
conditions, cells feeling alive...as if I was thirty years younger.

When I was introduced to Kangen Water® four years ago, I was
impressed to find my immune system improving and growing stronger.
Eventually, I successfully fought and beat down in six weeks a
digestive virus expected to be with me for at least two years. Soon
Kangen Water®, the most effective hydrating water in the
marketplace and on the planet became the love of my life. 

Always having my eye out for innovative health product, I became
aware of nanotechnology possibilities reading Ray Kurzweil's online
newsletter and keeping up with what is cutting edge in the medical
and health care world. Asea is one such product. It takes up where
water leaves off and does the work on cells that micro-ionized
water simply can't do. It looks like water and tastes like salt
water. It isn't thirst quenching alkaline water and was never
intended to be such. Now I've heard ridiculous stories that some
are trying to test Asea with a pH tester to show it is acidic and
thus not good for you. This is as nonsensical as testing Coca Cola
and saying that it is good for you. They both demonstrate
ignorance. 

Asea is a bottled set of reactive molecules that is suspended in
salt water. A dietary supplement, it is to be taken as such. It is
not a drink to be consumed as though it is water or a beverage. The
molecules, otherwise called redox signaling molecules, are capable
of effectively repairing or replacing cells needing that kind of
attention. Alkaline water no matter how effective it is cannot go
to this level in the cell and get this degree of result. It is not
to say that we don't need water. And it is not to say that Kangen
Water® isn't the best water we can drink. We do. And it is. Asea
needs a well hydrated body like any other supplement. 

Staying healthy at my age has never been as important to me as it
is now. Three grandchildren, a life not yet fully lived and a
family history of Alzheimer's are enormous motivators. For me, my
deeper sleep patterns, my better rest, the energy level of a thirty
year old, an improved skin condition and a feeling of higher
aliveness like I had in my twenty's have all come since I started
taking Asea along with my Kangen Water®. 

I urge you to get to know and understand what Asea
actually is and does before trusting anybody who tries to claim it
is an unhealthy product. Sixteen years of research and physicists
from top universities across the country have far more credibility
than a pH tester or ORP meter. Don't let yourself be misled. Do
your own research. You will be so glad you did.

ASEA Reactive Molecule Breakthrough, another explanation for you.

Stephanie told me about this video and it's a great one explaining what ASEA does. Mahalo Stephanie!

Glutathione (GSH)

Glutathione has multiple functions:

• It is the major endogenous antioxidant produced by the cells, participating directly in the neutralization of free radicals and reactive oxygen compounds, as well as maintaining exogenous antioxidants such as vitamins C and E in their reduced (active) forms.>

• Regulation of the nitric oxide cycle,^[16] which is critical for life but can be problematic if unregulated^[17]

• Through direct conjugation, it detoxifies many xenobiotics (foreign compounds) and carcinogens, both organic and inorganic. This includes heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic.

• It is essential for the immune system to exert its full potential, e.g., (1) modulating antigen presentation to lymphocytes, thereby influencing cytokine production and type of response (cellular or humoral) that develops, (2) enhancing proliferation of lymphocytes, thereby increasing magnitude of response, (3) enhancing killing activity of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, and (4) regulating apoptosis, thereby maintaining control of the immune response.

• It plays a fundamental role in numerous metabolic and biochemical reactions such as DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport, and enzyme activation. Thus, every system in the body can be affected by the state of the glutathione system, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs.^{[4 ]}

The Future of Things

I stumbled across this webpage called "The Future Of Things" or TFOT, it has little blurbs collected from various places...

http://thefutureofthings.com/

Articles on E-Paper to Cancer research...to Suits that strengthen Astronauts bones....you get the idea. Don't want to stray to far off topic but ASEA  falls into the TFOT criteria, doesn't it?
Also increased the riding today as it was beautiful in Hilo even tho there was a fire downtown, you could see the smoke from miles away.

Started riding a bicycle

Over the years I've ridden 10 speed bicycle's for exersize but haven't kept it up having several bikes in non operational condition...broken, hasn't helped either!
So I recently purchased a used Mountain Bike from a shop in Hilo thinking I'd like to start getting in shape again since I have all this new found energy. I rode my new/used bike home and was greeted with none of the usual side affects of out of breath, leg cramping fun that follows the "first" ride. Since then I've increased my distance daily and can feel my leg muscles getting stronger without the next day pain. I'm up to 6 miles a ride now and will continue to increase the distance, we'll see in a year how it goes.

Dr. Samuelson from "Doctors Speak Out" ASEA slideshow.

Dr. Samuelson talks about his introduction to ASEA and gives us a very clear explanation of what it does.
The slide show is pieced together from ASEA's informational video's.
Mahalo, Mark

Coming up.

I'm hoping to get Dr. Samuelson's talk on ASEA uploaded next week, he gives a very understandable presentation on what goes on when you take it.
Thanks for visiting.

How to take ASEA

A few suggestions: Take on an "empty" stomach first thing in the morning before breakfast/brushing your teeth...and wait 20 minutes, then do your morning routine.
Empty means nothing else consumed with your ASEA, no pills,other liquids ect.

I found spraying my eyes 3 times a day keeps them refreshed.

If I have a very busy schedule I'll take ASEA before lunch, or 3 times a day.

"Results vary for everyone, anywhere from 3 days to 3 months"

Also you may not feel it but your body might have changed, I didn't realize it until I had to do a job going up and down hills carrying 50 lbs + of supplies and equipment..When the job was done (2.5 hours) it hit me that I wasn't out of breath like usual.

The Science Behind ASEA

Aloha and welcome to Mark's ASEA informational pages.

I've been using this product since August 21, 2010, and for me it's truly lived up to it's growing reputation. Within the first few days my eyes felt better and within the following weeks I found I also slept thru the night, no more tossing and turning!
For those of you who I've shared ASEA with please feel free to post your comments, some maybe edited for content but I will strive to keep the intent intact.
