A Sure-FireNatural Cure for Memory Loss

Is there really a way to reverse memory loss and restore mental clarity, simply by triggering the brain cells to produce more ATP?

What If I told you this safe, natural substance has been a prescription memory drug in Europe for over 20 years, but much to the chagrin of the FDA, it can now be sold in the U.S. as a dietary supplement?.

Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TargetedNutrients.com...

As the famous cowboy movie star John Wayne grew older, he appeared sharp as a tack in his television appearances and movie rolls. But privately, he complained of memory loss.

What was particularly aggravating to him was his growing inability to remember the names of people - sometimes even people close to him.

As the story goes, one day he was attending a football game with his best friend of over 30 years and director of many of his movies, John Ford.

As he looked across the stands, he saw two acquaintances coming toward him. He was thrilled that he remembered both of their names, and would be able to introduce them to Ford without embarrassing himself.

"Bob, Mary," he exclaimed with obvious relish and a sweeping gesture of his hand as they approached their seats near his, "I'd like you to meet..."

And then his voice trailed off as he realized he had just forgotten the name of his best friend....John Ford.

The Safe, All-Natural Cure for Memory Loss

Were John Wayne still alive today, he'd be very happy to know that a safe, all-natural solution for mild to moderate memory loss is now available.

This supplement is called Vinpocetine, and it is widely known for its astonishing ability to boost brain power by increasing levels of cellular ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the brain...

...which in turn helps enhance concentration and retention, and sharpen mental focus and performance without any significant negative side effects.

Bernd Wollschlaeger, M.D., a Florida-based board-certified family physician who is also the associate editor of the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association (JANA), says Vinpocetine is one of the mainstays of his practice when it comes to patients complaining of memory loss and mild cognitive impairment.

According to Dr. Wollschlaeger:

"All of the peer-reviewed studies I've seen found a significant improvement in cognitive function with Vinpocetine.

Until Vinpocetine, we physicians have had nothing to prevent cognitive decline. We only have drugs to treat after the fact. With safe, natural Vinpocetine, patients see comparatively rapid improvement in memory functions as well as enhancement of learning and recall and overall alertness. Results are often seen in only seven to ten days.

We don't have to wait four or six or eight weeks, like with Gingko Biloba, to see results. What's more, there have been more than 100 clinical studies conducted on Vinpocetine, with over 30,000 patients, proving its safety and effectiveness."

Viagra for the Brain

According to Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., author of the popular book, Mind Boosters: A Guide to Natural Supplements that Enhance Your Mind, Memory, and Mood,

"Vinpocetine is chemically related to and derived from vincamine, a natural alkaloid found in the periwinkle plant.

It was introduced into clinical practice in Europe more than two decades ago for its highly beneficial role in cerebrovascular disorders and related symptoms.

But because it is derived from natural sources it is now widely used in the U.S. as a nutritional supplement for memory support and cognitive enhancement."

Dr. Ward Dean, M.D., co-author of the bestselling books Smart Drugs and Nutrients and Smart Drugs II, says Vinpocetine is like "Viagra for the brain."

He states "It's one of the few cognitive enhancers that I actually notice a distinctly positive and uplifting difference when I take it."

Dr. Dean says that Vinpocetine facilitates cerebral metabolism by improving cerebral microcirculation (i.e., blood flow to, and throughout, the brain).

"What's more," he notes, "In brain cells it steps up the production of ATP, the cellular energy molecule, and increases utilization of glucose and oxygen, the brain's two most critical fuels."

According to Dr. Steven Bratman, M.D., director of The Natural Pharmacist in Fort Collins, CO, and author of the Natural Health Encyclopedia and The Natural Health Bible:

"Vinpocetine aids memory and mental function, not only with mild memory loss and age-related cognitive impairment, but also with Alzheimer's and related conditions. Most people begin to notice clearer, sharper thinking and recall within a few short days to a few short weeks time."

In her book, Vinpocetine: Boost Your Brain Power With Periwinkle Extract, author Dr. Beth M. Ley writes:

"Research shows that Vinpocetine provides an astonishing array of benefits. It has a very powerful stimulating effect on memory.

In Europe, it is often used for the treatment of cerebral circulatory disorders that can cause such symptoms as memory loss, stroke, dizziness and even cerebro-vestibular (inner-ear) problems.

Vinpocetine has even been demonstrated to improve visual acuity - that is to say, eyesight - in 70% of subjects tested."

Science writer James South, M.A. notes that recent medical research demonstrates Vinpocetine's almost miraculous ability to boost the quality of thinking and planning carried out by the cerebral cortex. He writes:

"Another key benefit from Vinpocetine derives from its activating effect on the noradrenaline nerve cluster in the reticular activating system called the locus coeruleus.

Olpe and co-workers have shown that Vinpocetine is one of the most effective activators of locus coeruleus neurons, thus making it a true 'cognition enhancing' agent."

Proven to Boost Memory, Enhance Cognitive Function and Reduce Dementia

According to Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., an ardent Vinpocetine advocate, "There have been quite a few studies demonstrating the positive effects of Vinpocetine on brain function."

For example, he notes that:

"Researchers at the University of Surrey in England administered Vinpocetine to patients suffering from mild to moderate dementia.

In this placebo-controlled, randomized double-blind trial 203 patients received Vinpocetine every day for 16 weeks. They were given either 10 mg. doses of Vinpocetine three times a day, 20 mg. doses of Vinpocetine three times a day, or placebo three times a day.

Significant cognitive improvements were found in the active treatment groups compared to the placebo groups.

Interestingly, the patients on the 10 mg. doses performed even better than those on the higher 20 mg. doses."

What's more, according to Dr. Sahelian:

"In another double blind clinical trial, Vinpocetine was shown to offer significant improvement in elderly patients with chronic cerebral dysfunction.

Forty-two patients received 10 mg. of Vinpocetine three times a day for thirty days, then 5 mg. three times a day for sixty days.

Matching placebo tablets were given to another forty patients for the ninety-day trial period. Patients on Vinpocetine scored consistently better in all cognitive evaluations."

Other studies have demonstrated Vinpocetine's astonishing beneficial effects for stroke victims.

For example, one study demonstrated a 42% reduction in brain injury for stroke patients who were given Vinpocetine [Acta Pharm Hung. 2002;72(2):84-91].

And another study demonstrated that Vinpocetine interrupts the various stages of the ischemic cascade during strokes, meaning it helps prevent the ongoing damage to the brain that results from the stroke itself [Ideggyogy Sz. 2003 May 20;56(5-6):166-72].

How Vinpocetine Works to Boost
Your Memory and Mental Clarity

George Foss, a long-time consultant to the nutritional supplement industry, and former general manager of Kayser Nutrition, explains how Vinpocetine works, and why it has become the world's #1 best-selling all-natural brain-boosting supplement:

"Vinpocetine's astonishing beneficial effects on memory, recall and mental acuity occur principally because of its ability to bring age-related declines in the cellular energy functions of the brain back to more youthful levels. It does so by literally nourishing the brain.

First, it increases blood flow to the brain through mild dilation of the blood vessels, which in turn dramatically boosts glucose and oxygen uptake by the brain's 100 billion neurons.

The neurons thrive on this increased glucose and oxygen, which in turn is used to produce prodigious quantities of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which is pure cellular energy.

This increased production of ATP within the brain quite rapidly boosts the metabolism, or energy activity of the entire brain back to the levels of a young adult.

Finally, this increased energy activity triggers two crucial functions in the brain: increased cell-to-cell communication for quicker thinking, and repair and/or replacement of damaged brain cells for optimal brain function."

Experts say Vinpocetine boosts the circulation of oxygen-rich and glucose-rich blood to the brain so effectively it almost immediately results in a vastly increased ability to concentrate and focus.

In fact, in one recent clinical study, 62% of healthy subjects exhibited significant short-term memory improvement only one hour after taking 40 mg. of Vinpocetine. [Eur J Clin Pharmacol1985;28(5):567-71].

What's more, recent research has demonstrated that Vinpocetine also boosts circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the eyes, thereby improving vision and eyesight disorders.

In one study, Vinpocetine improved vision in 88% of test subjects [Arzneimittelforschung 1976;26(10a): 1969-72].

Vinpocetine also aids in the delivery of oxygen saturated blood to the inner ear, improving hearing as well as alleviating many inner-ear problems including tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and vertigo (dizziness) [AF DR 28, 1977-80].

Get that Extra Mental Edge

So if you're like me and you feel the need for that extra mental edge from time to time...

... or if you're reaching that age where you notice your cognitive abilities are slipping a bit and you want to provide your body with the nutrition it needs to get you back on top of your mental game...

... then you just might want to try safe, natural Vinpocetine.

Its long-term safety has been demonstrated in medical studies to be second to none. And with over 100 medical studies backing it up, you can rest assured of its effectiveness.

How to Use Vinpocetine

Most clinical trials on Vinpocetine have involved the use of doses ranging from 10 to 30 mg. per day.

These studies have demonstrated that while lower doses of 10 to 20 mg. per day can be very helpful, in virtually every case it has been the 30 mg. per day dosage (i.e., 10 mg. taken three times a day) that has exerted the greatest therapeutic benefits in terms of boosting memory, concentration and mental acuity.

While the beneficial effects of Vinpocetine are quite noticeable after only a few days of use (many people literally "feel the difference" the very first day)...

... the full range of therapeutic benefits associated with Vinpocetine usage are often not derived until it has been used on a daily basis for a full 90 days.

In other words, while you'll notice increased mental energy almost immediately, the effects actually get better and better over the course of the first 90 days of use, as damaged areas of the brain are healed, and stronger cell-to-cell communication in the brain is established.

P.S. Read What These Satisfied Vinpocetine Users Are Saying About Their Improved Memory and Mental Clarity!

"The Day I Tried Vinpocetine My Memory Was Better!"

"I recently turned 50, which is not a bad thing except that I began having 'senior moments', where I'd stand in the center of the room trying to remember why I was in there. And, I started losing things, such as looking for my pot holders or keys and finding them in an unusual place...I was walking around with items in my hands and putting them down in inappropriate places. I'd always been very mentally sharp, with a great memory and the ability to multitask without losing track and to get everything done, and done efficiently and well. Now I spent half of my time looking for things. Something had to change.

I tried various 'memory' products, but I was unimpressed. The day I tried Vinpocetine my memory was better. After two days I could actually add a column of figures in my head, and remember multiple phone numbers without looking them up. I was impressed, this is the one product that worked. I mentioned this to my peri-menopausal and post menopausal friends and they were astonished, as it had been many years since they could add a column of complex numbers without writing them down. They tried Vinpocetine and they were as impressed and excited as I was...and still am."

-- M.W., Nevada City CA

"Ability to Focus on Complex Challenges Restored; Got a Promotion and Raise!"

"As I approached 50 years of age there was no more denying it; my short term memory was suffering. I fumbled daily (sometimes hourly) trying to remember the events of just two days prior! In fact, I could vaguely remember the past two weeks. Not only had this become extremely frustrating, it was downright humiliating. Then, nothing short of a miracle happened!

While researching memory problems on the internet, I came across information on Vinpocetine from Targeted Nutrients and decided to try it. To be honest; I didn't think it would work. But after just one week of taking Vinpocetine, I was shocked with my results. Not only had my memory improved, but repetitive menial tasks became second nature again! To my surprise, I was able to focus on complex challenges at work with ease. My production and managerial skills accelerated to levels I had not experienced in several years. Do to my new found vigor, I even received a promotion at work...and with a substantial raise!

Thank you Targeted Nutrients for giving me my memory and problem solving skills back!"

-- Harold H., Barstow, CA.

P.S. I'm so impressed with the results of Vinpocetine, I've ordered several other products from Targeted Nutrients with similar mind-blowing results!

Stays More Focused at Work

"This is to let you know the Vinpocetine has helped me during my working hours to stay more focused and on track as I do a lot of data entry and special projects. Thanks so much for this product!"

-- Bee in Oregon

Quickness of Mind and Better Recall

"I read about Vinpocetine and decided to try it. My problem was not being able to quickly recall names. I tried Vinpocetine and within one month I noticed a quickness of mind to recall and to think creatively. It's a great product!"

-- G.M., Hot Springs, AR

"Uplifting...Mentally Stimulating"...Felt Better After the Very First Capsule!

"Last year, I was under a lot of pressure at work and at college. I wasn't enjoying my job, and was extremely stressed. Worst of all, I was always mentally exhausted. I got a D for the first time in one of my college classes, because I just couldn't focus or concentrate like I needed to. My clarity of thought was gone.

That's when my uncle told me about Vinpocetine from The Silver Edge. He said it had helped him with the severe mental fatigue (he called it "brain fog") he had experienced directly after a surgery. So I got some Vinpocetine and started taking it.

Right away, after the very first capsule, I felt better. Vinpocetine actually worked better than anything the doctors had given me --especially since all they prescribed were antibiotics, even though I wasn't sick, just mentally fatigued. The Vinpocetine had a very uplifting, mentally stimulating effect. It allowed me to think more clearly and focus on the complex issues I had to deal with at the time, both at college and at work. I only took the Vinpocetine a few times a week over a period of several months. But it really made a big difference, and believe me I wouldn't hesitate to use it again if I needed it."

An Open Letter to Victims of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: How I Beat CFS and Returned to a Normal Life After 20 Years of Suffering

Dear Fellow Chronic Fatigue Sufferer,

After 20 years of fighting a losing battle with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)…

…and hearing all of the usual crap from the MDs (i.e., “there’s nothing wrong with you,” “it’s all in your head,” “you’re just lazy” or “you had a bad childhood and now you’re depressed”)…

…I finally managed to turn things around and beat this insidious disease without a lick of help from conventional medical doctors.

Actually, the first step on my road to recovery started back in 1993 when a client of mine got very frustrated with me for missing deadlines and being unavailable for work for weeks and months at a time due to the debilitating effects of the chronic fatigue.

I’m a freelance journalist and direct mail copywriter by profession. And missing deadlines is the death knell of a career in the writing field.

My freelance writing business was down the tubes. I was dead broke. And I barely had the energy to get up for several hours a day, at best.

Fortunately, this particular client was compassionate and understanding of my problems with chronic fatigue syndrome.

He actually bought me a plane ticket and flew me up to a clinic run by a naturopath in Portland, Oregon who had a lot of experience in dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome, and who had studied the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome in Germany where the disease is taken much more seriously by the medical establishment than it is here in the U.S.

This client not only flew me up to the naturopathic clinic, but paid for my hotel room, and paid for all of the diagnostics and treatment this naturopath recommended, to boot.

I will never forget his kindness and generosity.

I only wish I knew then what I have since learned about beating chronic fatigue syndrome. I could have solved my chronic fatigue problem a whole lot sooner.

Here’s the rest of my story...

Raising the Body’s Cellular Energy Levels – Naturally!

This naturopath, Dr. Brian MacCoy, ordered a series of blood tests to be done, along with other medical tests. And what he discovered floored me.

The tests showed that my blood titres of Epstein Barr virus and Cytomegalovirus were basically off the charts.

In fact, Dr. MacCoy’s comment was “Whenever we have patients come in with viral blood titres this high, they usually come in horizontal, meaning they are too weak to even walk into my office and must be carried in.”

Dr. MacCoy explained that the pathogens responsible for chronic fatigue – and there are many of them besides Epstein Barr virus and Cytomegalovirus – have one thing in common: they all tend to damage and disrupt the body’s cellular energy production mechanisms.

What’s more, these energy-robbing pathogens tend to be ubiquitous – just about everybody has them. These include including Candida yeast, mycoplasmas, the Lyme Disease pathogen, Human Herpes Virus 6, and to a lesser extent retroviruses such as XMRV, murine leukemia viruses, coxsackie virus and others.

But most people’s immune system is able to keep the activities of these insidious disease-causing pathogens in check and prevent them from spreading and causing the kind of damage to cellular energy production that results in chronic fatigue.

Unfortunately, some people – like me -- have had past immune system damage for one reason or another, whether from physical injury, aging, severe illness, chronic stress or post-traumatic stress, poor dietary habits, addiction, excessive drinking, smoking, etc.

And because of this weakened immunity the pathogens tend to overwhelm the immune system and begin to run riot in the body, eventually infiltrating the cells and damaging cellular energy production in the process.

So Dr. MacCoy’s primary method of treatment was to gradually raise the body’s cellular energy production back to more youthful levels. The idea is to give the body the added cellular energy it needs to restore peak immune system function.

His method of raising the body’s cellular energy production was to use intramuscular injections of a natural compound called adenosine monophosphate, or AMP for short.

In the body, AMP converts to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the molecule made by the cells to create energy throughout the body. It's like fuel to a car engine.

Dr. MacCoy taught me how to give myself the deep muscle injections of AMP once daily in the upper quadrant of the buttocks.

After a week of daily injections, I got to taper off to three injections per week, and then to one per week, and then to “whenever needed,” which after a short while, was about twice a month.

When I started taking these AMP injections, I experienced immediate beneficial effects. Even after the very first injection I could feel the cloud lifting from my mind, the depression vanishing, and energy returning to my body.

Within the first month of taking the shots I was back to working 8–hour days with only minor struggles with fatigue, whereas before starting the AMP injections, even working a two or three hour day at home was a real chore, if I was able to work at all.

Enter the Amazing Energy Booster, D-Ribose

About six months later I learned about a unique nutritional supplement known as D-Ribose, which had recently been introduced to the sports nutrition community.

Weight lifters and athletes of all sorts were taking this new supplement, because it naturally fuels the body’s production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which as I mentioned above, is the molecule the body produces in the cells that provides energy.

D-Ribose was being sold as a sports nutritional supplement chiefly because it was known to help athlete’s recover from long, hard workouts in record time by boosting the ability of the cellular mitochondria to produce ATP.

So I reasoned that D-Ribose might work for chronic fatigue victims as well. After all, in the end, chronic fatigue is little more than an energy deficit disorder. And energy deficits are what athletes are recovering from after long, gruesome workouts.

So I tried the D-Ribose in place of the painful AMP injections. And bam! It changed my life for the better, almost instantly. Indeed, for me, this wonderful supplement completely eliminated the need for the painful, deep muscle AMP injections.

At that point, whenever I felt the need for a boost in cellular energy, I began taking a capsule of D-Ribose rather than the painful AMP injections. The capsules worked just as well – actually, better – and they were significantly less expensive than the shots to boot!

In fact, D-Ribose worked so well for me, and for other chronic fatigue sufferers I knew, that it was the very first nutritional supplement I chose to market when I began putting together the nutritional supplement line for my first natural health company, Silver Bullet Enterprises, back in 1994 (which I sold six years later before starting The Silver Edge).

To the best of my knowledge, at that time I was the very first individual in the U.S. to market D-Ribose nationally as a remedy for chronic fatigue syndrome.

Literally millions of copies of my newsletter article, “D-Ribose: the Overlooked Energy Booster That Really Gets You Moving Again” were circulated at that time (and continue to be), helping make D-Ribose the #1 energy-boosting supplement in the world for the past 16 years.

Since then, much more clinical research has been conducted on D-Ribose. Its ability to bring new life and energy back to victims of chronic fatigue syndrome has been widely documented, particularly by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., author of the bestseller, From Fatigued to Fantastic.

And another major benefit -- the ability of D-Ribose to reverse weak cardiac function -- has also been brought to the public’s attention thanks to superb new clinical research that’s been conducted.

What’s more, thanks to all of this new research, numerous well-known natural health gurus now highly recommend D-Ribose as a remedy for chronic fatigue, poor heart function and other causes of energy-deficit disorders.

These D-Ribose advocates include such natural health luminaries as Dr. Stephen Sinatra, M.D., Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., Dr. Julian Whittaker, M.D., Dr. Hyla Cass, M.D, Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D., Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. (from Oprah), and many others.

Pregnenolone,

the “Happiness Hormone”

Over the years I continued to research chronic fatigue in relation to its ability to disrupt the body’s cellular energy production mechanisms.

I found out that this slow destruction of the body’s cellular energy metabolism often resulted in depleted hormone levels.

So after having my hormone levels tested, and discovering them to be abnormally low, I also began taking small doses (i.e., 10-20 mg.) of Pregnenolone, which is the so–called “mother hormone.”

When ingested in small amounts, Pregnenolone gives the body the raw hormonal material it needs to trigger what’s called a “hormonal cascade”– which is to say, it boosts the body’s ability to create whatever additional hormones you may have become deficient in due to the poor cellular metabolism.

For me, Pregnenolone augmented the D-Ribose wonderfully, allowing me to raise my daily energy levels even more significantly than before.

As a secondary benefit, it relieved the underlying depression I’d been experiencing for years, which apparently, is one reason people refer to pregnenolone as the “feel good” or “happiness hormone.”

How much better did it make me feel?

Well, I could much more easily accomplish 8–hour work days without getting exhausted at the end of the day. And rather quickly I was able to increase my workdays to 10 and 12 hours apiece.  My diminished sex drive was restored, as well.  

What’s more, I still had enough energy on weekends to take my wife out for a few hours in the evenings without wiping myself out completely as in the past.

By this time, I was starting my second business, a publishing company called Life & Health Research Group. So the extra stamina really came in handy.

Colloidal Silver to the Rescue!

During this same time-frame I began hearing reports of people getting dramatic results from colloidal silver, a potent all-natural infection-fighting agent.

Having had a very positive experience with colloidal silver when my wife came down with a bone infection so serious the doctors wanted to amputate her toes, I too began taking colloidal silver daily. And I found within a very short period of time that it was helping tremendously.

Since colloidal silver is known in the medical literature strictly as an immune-boosting and infection-fighting agent (i.e., it kills pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and fungus on contact), I could only assume at the time that it was also helping diminish the viruses Dr. MacCoy had discovered in my blood work. This is an assumption I later discovered had plenty of clinical evidence to back it up.

Colloidal silver is very expensive commercially, costing upwards of $20-30 for a tiny 4 oz. bottle, which lasts less than a week. So it quickly became excessively costly to use regularly.

However, I soon discovered that safe, natural therapeutic–quality colloidal silver could be made at home quickly and easily – and for less than 36 cents a quart -- using a simple, electronic device called a home colloidal silver generator.

Since 1994 I’ve been making my own colloidal silver at home, and have used it successfully to knock out the frequent infections that are so common to victims of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Indeed, I was so impressed with the results of my colloidal silver usage, I helped develop three different kinds of colloidal silver generators. And I later funded the development of the world’s best-selling colloidal silver generator, the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator.

Beta–1,3/1,6 Glucan

– the World’s Most Powerful Immune Booster!

During that same time-frame, I had also become extremely intrigued by what I’d been hearing about a potent all–natural immune system booster called Beta–1,3/1,6-glucan –

-- which I learned was being given to children with cancer in an effort to increase their ability to withstand the ravaging, immune-suppressing effects of radiation and chemotherapy.

So I called the company that manufactures Beta-1,3/1,6-glucan, and was able to speak with Byron Donzis, the man who invented the technical process used to extract this powerful natural substance from the cell walls of baker’s yeast.

Donzis is a multi–millionaire who also holds the patents on several Adidas sports shoe designs for professional athletes, as well as the patents on the anti–terrorist flak jackets used by many police departments around the country.

I discovered that Donzis’ favorite charity is a group called The Sunshine Kids. These are children with severe forms of cancer.

It was his charity work with The Sunshine Kids which led Donzis to study Beta–1,3/1,6-glucan. What he found through the clinical studies he helped fund at Tulane Medical University was that Beta–1,3/1,6 Glucan boosts the human immune system dramatically, so much so that kids with cancer could take it before undergoing radiation therapy, and the radiation therapy would not severely damage their immune system!

Previous to this discovery, excessive immune system damage from the radiation treatment was a “given” when treating children with cancer.

To make a long story short, I began taking the Beta–1,3/1,6-glucan capsules, along with the colloidal silver, D-Ribose and Pregnenolone supplements mentioned above.

And once again I had immediate dramatic results.

Apparently my immune system had never quite recovered from the years of suffering with chronic fatigue syndrome, even though my metabolism and energy production was doing much better thanks to the other supplements.

Within the first 24 hours I could tell that the Beta–1,3/1,6-glucan was the key I’d been looking for to achieve that final 20%–30% recovery that had eluded me.

Within only a few short weeks I was back in peak form, and since that time have been able to work back–to–back 16 hour days (no kidding!) without excessive fatigue.

That’s pretty darn good for someone who only a few short years earlier could barely function for more than two hours per day without collapsing!

The benefits of this amazing immune-boosting supplement were so profound, in fact, that I took two months off from my regular work and wrote the book, The Beta-Glucan Manual: Introducing the World’s Most Powerful Natural Immune System Booster – which has since sold many tens of thousands of copies globally, helping introduce Beta-1,3/1,6-glucan to a waiting world.

Vinpocetine: The World’s Most

Powerful Natural Brain Energy Booster

As you likely know, victims of chronic fatigue syndrome frequently complain of “brain fog,” or the inability to think clearly. Thinking not only becomes difficult, but a cumbersome strain. It’s as if the neurons in the brain simply quit firing.

Because of this, I watched carefully for information on natural substances that might help eliminate this perplexing symptom. I tried Ginko Biloba, ginseng and other supplements, but found them to be of no help to me whatsoever.

Nevertheless, I kept watching the literature for other options, and talking about it to everybody I could in the natural health community.

And I was soon rewarded for my diligence when a good friend at Smart Nutrition in San Diego, CA introduced me to another new all-natural supplement called Vinpocetine, which had just been brought over from Europe.

Like D-Ribose, Vinpocetine triggers the body to produce more adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is pure cellular energy. But unlike D-Ribose, which works chiefly in the muscles and tissues to produce bodily energy, Vinpocetine works primarily in the brain.

Indeed, it is such a potent brain-booster, it is sold as a prescription memory drug throughout Europe. But because it is an extract from the Periwinkle plant, it’s allowed to be sold here in the United States as a nutritional supplement rather than a drug!

In over 100 medical studies, Vinpocetine has been demonstrated to:

· improve circulation of oxygen-rich blood within the brain

· increase crucial levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP/cellular energy) within the brain's neurons, increasing their ability to fire rapidly and carry information quickly and effectively

· improve the brain's utilization of glucose (its most important fuel)

· accelerate the rate of learning by 40% in tests

· dramatically improve memory (in one study a whopping 62% of healthy subjects exhibited significant short-term memory improvement 1 hour after taking only 40 mg)

· dramatically increase the length of time that short-term memory is retained

· improve the brain's utilization of oxygen and increase the resistance of neurons to the damage that would otherwise be caused by low oxygen levels

· improve the flexibility of red blood cells in the brain and may thereby help to prevent strokes.

So I added Vinpocetine to my supplement regimen, and was once again pleasantly surprised to find it to be of tremendous benefit.

Indeed, my thinking cleared up rapidly, and due to that my output as a writer increased dramatically.

Indeed, I wrote three more books in a row directly after that:

The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual and The Ultimate Immune System Repair Manual and The Bioterrorism Manual: Secrets for Survival (with Duncan Long).

Methylcobalamin Form of B-12

Finally, after additional research I added to my daily supplement regimen vitamin B-12 in the easily assimilated methylcobalamin form, rather than the more commonly used cyanocobalamin form which the body has difficulty utilizing.

B-12 in the methylcobalamin form restores lost energy to the body's nervous system – indeed, clinical research shows It is critical to the health of the nerves.

Interestingly, it is in the nerve cells of the human body that many viruses linked to chronic fatigue syndrome like to hide. So the nervous system is often the very first system in the human body to be damaged by some of the viruses responsible for chronic fatigue.

Many researchers believe this is one reason why people with chronic fatigue syndrome often also develop fibromyalgia and other nerve and muscle pain syndromes.

Thankfully, the methylcobalamin form of Vitamin B-12 can be purchased inexpensively through a variety of online resources, including my good friends at R-Garden –

-- who carry it in the powerful 5,000 mcg. tablet form (which may be too powerful for some people if you are sensitive to supplements; if so, simply cut it into quarters with a sharp knife and start out taking only a quarter tab per day).

The Results

The results of doing the research to find these unique (and in some cases still little-known) natural cures in the early 1990’s was that I was able to go from a depressed, demoralized and energy-deprived state to a far more youthful and dynamic state in a very short period of time.

Because I love my work, I tend to look at my recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome in terms of my increased ability to handle a daily workload.

As I mentioned earlier, thanks to these natural cures I gradually went from barely being able to handle a two or three hour workday, to doing back-to-back 12 and 16 hour workdays as if they were nothing!

To me, that was nothing short of a miracle! I got my life and my career back (and found a loving wife in the process) – all in the course of just a few short years from the time I first started searching out natural cures for this mysterious and debilitating disease on my own.

Indeed, in the ensuing 16 years since beginning my search for natural ways to conquer chronic fatigue, I’ve...

...started and sold one business...

...formed three more highly successful businesses (each of which I still run)...

...wrote, co-wrote, edited and published five books...

...published numerous newsletters and articles on natural healing...

...starred in a one-hour natural health video...

...and have become one of the top natural health journalists in the country.

It’s now been almost 17 years since I first began using natural healing techniques to beat chronic fatigue syndrome, and I’m still going strong.

I no longer need to take each of the above-described supplements daily. But I still use them whenever I feel the need.

Because I’ve used each one of these powerful supplements many times, I know their benefits intimately. And when I’m feeling a bit fatigued, I simply let my body tell me which of the supplements I need.

It’s now been many years since I’ve experienced a full-blown chronic fatigue “crash.”

And frankly, I owe it all to God, who over time led me to the right people and the right places, and gave me the insight to see these natural substances as the potentially powerful remedies for chronic fatigue they truly turned out to be.

I also credit the entire natural health community, which has fought tooth-and-nail over the years to keep these supplements available to consumers in the face of constant FDA attempts to regulate them into oblivion.

My “Quick Energy” Cocktail

If you’re feeling fatigued and want to test my findings, try taking the following natural "cocktail" of immune-boosting and energy-restoring substances:

D-Ribose (1500 mg.)

Beta-1,3-1,6-glucan (3mg.)

B-12 Methylcobalamin (1,000 micrograms)

Alternately, try a 10 mg. capsule of Pregnenolone, along with a 10 mg. capsule of Vinpocetine.

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the new found energy, mental clarity and bona-fide feeling of well-being you’ll experience!

And please understand, I'm not prescribing. I’m just mentioning what has helped me so tremendously over the years since I first came to discover the fact that natural healing all too often beats the traditional medical paradigm hands-down.

The bottom line is that if you'll take the time to look into it, you'll discover there are some remarkable drug-free approaches to chronic fatigue syndrome that really work for most people – approaches that can restore your life to normal in a very short period of time!

It's all about getting your body back on track by nourishing it enough to gain the strength and immunity it needs to prevent opportunistic pathogens from spreading.

Why a Superior Multi–Vitamin/Mineral Complex,

Plus Essential Fatty Acids, Are Essential to Beating Chronic Fatigue!

There are several other things that have really helped me over the years, but those mentioned above are the main ones.

However, I would be doing a disservice to Dr. Stephen E. Langer, MD, author of the excellent best-selling book “Solved: The Riddle of Illness”, if I didn't mention the multi–vitamin and omega–3 fatty acid supplement program he put me on after I contacted him for a telephone consultation many years ago and told him of my efforts to beat chronic fatigue.

Dr. Langer is a very unconventional medical doctor in that he has no qualms about integrating alternative medical approaches with orthodox medical approaches when the condition warranted it.

He emphasized to me that over the long run it would do little good to boost my body’s broken down cellular energy production mechanisms and my immune system if I didn't give my body’s 100 trillion-plus cells the nutrients they needed to run at higher levels.

That made a lot of sense to me.

To accomplish this, he prescribed a specialized high–dose multi–vitamin/mineral complex supplement.

And not one of those cheap formulas from Wal-Mart that cost $5 or $6 a bottle, and contain the cheapest and least bio-available forms of vitamins and minerals, but a really good, high-quality multi-vitamin mineral formula, instead.

There are many out there. But expect to pay between $30-50 a bottle for one that uses the superior, bioavailable forms of the various vitamins and minerals. This is required to nourish the cells and start bringing them back to life after being damaged for so long by the viruses or other pathogens.

The formula Dr. Langer prescribed for me, and that has worked best for me (and believe me, I’ve tried many others) is called Ultra Protection III from Douglas Laboratories.

Additionally, Dr. Langer prescribed extra vitamin C (in the form of Ester C, a very bio–available form of the vitamin) and extra calcium/magnesium, apparently because restoring the proper ratio of calcium to magnesium in the cells is essential for a full recovery from chronic fatigue.

He also prescribed 1,000 mg. per day of Borage Seed Oil and Omega-3 Fish Oil, which nourish brain cells, tame hidden inflammation, inhibit blood clotting, and even help the cells become more fluid and pliable so they absorb nutrients more efficiently.

Dr. Langer’s recommended supplements also provided immediate and very beneficial relief from the effects of chronic fatigue. They seem to make the other substances work even better. So I am very grateful to Dr. Langer. He's no ordinary M.D.

One Final Thought

Once again, please keep in mind that I’m not a doctor, and I’m not “prescribing” anything.

I’m merely relating to you in a journalistic fashion the details of my long-term victory over chronic fatigue syndrome, after suffering its insidious and debilitating effects for over 20.

I’ve written the above synopsis of this victory because conventional medicine NEVER made me better, and it’s probably not doing much for you, either, if you’re a fellow chronic fatigue sufferer.

I’m extremely grateful to God for the unconventional people and unconventional health wisdom I’ve been introduced to over the past 17 years since I began this journey back to natural health and well-being.

And I’m particularly grateful to be able to help steer others in the same direction. This indeed is one of my greatest pleasures in life…

My best regards,

Steve Barwick, President
