I will give a sentence for you to think about.

When you approach people that are not interested in what you are going to tell them
vs.
When people approach you wanting to know more about what you represent and to wanting more info.

What do you think would be more effective in closing a deal?

The Story about My Personal Experience with MeridiumXN

Personally, I have had this product for less than two months. From personal experience and even during this short time, I had 3 changes to my body functionality to date.

First, I had severe menstrual pain (cramps) every month. For the first two days during my menstrual cycle, I had to take 13 Advil tablets in order to ease my pain. However, the painkillers were only temporary and the pain I felt was agonizing. I could barely move. However, after taking XN for 15 days prior to my next menstruation, the aching cramps were gone (not completely, but I did not have to eat a single Advil).Fast forward 30 days - this month, I did not have to go through any menstrual pain.Going from 13 painkiller tablets to 0 after taking XN was amazing. I no longer feel any of the horrific period pains.

Secondly, I had bad constipation. Now, I am regular and feel great! :)

Lastly, I started losing weight. This change is due to XN’s ability to adjust metabolic balance by some chemical responses (more information on the website: www.mybionovix.com/hchoi).

The Story about My Parents’ Experience with MeridiumXN

Regarding more general health concerns, my father’s blood pressure was about 160/**(I don’t know exactly), but now it’s down to 128/84 after taking XN regularly. He used to confess that his neck and the back of his head ached and was sore however, that too is gone.
Now my mother has bad feet and dead toenails, but ever since she started drinking XN, her toenails started to grow back. She also had her uterus removal due to benign tumor in her uterus. After removing her uterus, a lack of estrogen hormone stopped hair growth in her arm pit. Once again, after taking XN, hairs are growing again.
————
This is not the end of the amazing miracles XN provides. Other testimonies include: A person who was almost blind recovering their eye sight after having XN. A man with Parkinson disease was able to walk again after 10 days of having XN. This man took more than 3 ml per day. (3 ml per day is instructed, but more than 3 ml does not harm your body). A woman with cancer(I don’t know what kind of cancer she had) was cured. Many others were freed from knee pain, back pain, burned wounds, and more. You can find all testimonies on the company’s website and through Google.
——-
About the man with Parkinson disease and the woman with a cancer, I heard detailed stories from my dad via email. They both live in Seoul, South Korea. If you are Korean, you would understand what my dad wrote in this email. Although I know that main readers of my blog don’t understand Korean, as an evidence, I attached the message from my dad.
Oh, and the woman was struggling with both rectal cancer and large intestine cancer. Of course she was completely healed from those cancers after 3.5 months of using MeridiumXN (and XH? maybe…).

한나야, 아빠야
엄마 전화받고 네 메일 열었는데 한국에도 쟌토휴몰 체험자가 많아.
2007년 4월 처음 BioNovix를 알게된 한국 사업자가 맨처음 MeridiumXN을 권한자가 파킨슨씨병을 앓는 환자에게 먹였는데 서울에 살고 이름은 박정완씨-10년동안 파킨슨씨병으로 고통을 받고 살았단다.
쟌토휴몰 액체를 4시간마다 1컵씩 마시는데 9일째 까지도 아무렇지도 않던 사람이 10일째 바로 기적이 일어났다는거지.걸음도 제대로 못걷고 손, 발을 떨고 하던 사람이 10일째 되는 날 MeridiumXN을 권한 사업자에게 와서 앞으로도 걷고 뒤로 돌며 온 몸을 흔들며 정상인처럼 걷고 뛰고 했다는거 있지….원래 파킨슨씨병은 손, 발을 떨며 전신에 마비증세가 와 제대로 걷지도 못하는 병이래…..미국에서도 어떤 병이든 앓고 고통당하는 사람에게 건강 전도사의 사명을 가지고 소개해서 병도 낫고 건강한 삶을 살면 얼마나 기쁜 일이냐? 무엇이든 하나님의 뜻대로 남에게 건강도 주고 안믿는 자에겐 복음도 전하고 좋은 일을 할때 하나님께서 우리에게도 축복을 주실줄 믿는다.

Donald B.Pastor Donal, Bartow

Rip Van Winkle ended up sleeping for 20 years. I did better than old Rip! I erased 20 years. Here is the “rest of the story.”I had been living for years with chronic back pain and almost constant stomach discomfort because of my acid reflux. One of the ways I got a little relief was to mentally deduct 20 years from my age of 79 and imagine that I was only 59 years old. For some reason this helped ease my pain.I recently received healing for my back, but I was still afflicted with terrible acid reflux and general fatigue. This stomach distress was an affliction that left me with discomfort most of the time, and especially at night. The presciption drugs would help, but the side effects of prolonged use was a problem.
I was introduced to MeridiumXN. I started to use it regularly. To my surprise, my acid reflux problem disappeared! There were even more surprises. My general health improved. A Rip Van Winkle effect set in. I no longer just imagined I was 59, I felt like I was 59 again. I didn’t lose 20 years through sleeping like old Rip. Better yet, I erased 20 years through simply taking MeridiumXN!

T. Ingram, Helps with Knee Pain

I’ve been on the product since late November 2006. After I had completed 3 marathons, I retired because I noticed my knees had started to ache, intermittently, especially climbing stairs. After taking the product for 45 days, I no longer have the ache, and climbing stairs is easy again and I’m considering running another marathon again.

Bill W., Weight Loss with MeridiumXN

I have been using the product daily since November 2006 - I have noticed the following: I have lost 14 pounds since using the product. I also notice when I am using the product it gives me a feeling of being in the zone - some days it seems everything just falls into place - when taking meridiumXN it is easier to focus and multi-task! The bottom line is the product works!

Dr Laura Lewars, ND, Naturopath

When I was 12 I was told I had scoliosis. Then when I was 18 I was thrown about 30 ft from a horse. I got right back on even though I was in pain I just ignored it. In my lifetime I have also been in a total of 7 car accidents some minor and some major. Then about 13 yrs ago, I was diagnosed with MS. This is “incurable” and the medical response was lots of drugs which I don’t like and that don’t work anyway. I decided about 8 yrs ago I was fed up with the medical community and went back to school to become a Naturopath. I have used many herbal formulas that have kept me status quo for a long time. When I tried the MeridiumXN however my body just responded so well and so quickly. Two days after using it my back pain was cut down about 70%. Also the tremor in my hands have been cut down in half. I am so happy that I have found this product for myself and my clients.

Christopher, Litz

I never would have believed it if I hadn’t tried it!

Hi, I'm a 54-year-old male, and for the past couple of years I've dealt with achy joints in the morning upon waking up and also after exerting myself physically. After just a couple of weeks, I no longer have the pain that I did. I've also dealt with big swings in my blood sugar when I'm hungry. I would become jittery and sometimes even nauseous if I didn't eat right away. I've found that my metabolism is more balanced now, to the point that I can go for several hours after beginning to feel hungry before eating. I find that I have more energy in general and I'm able to focus better too. I just had a checkup this morning and my doctor has taken me off of the prescription medication that I've been taking for high blood pressure for the past 2 years. I find too that I'm not craving snacks between meals as I did. I just can't say enough about the positive impact Meridium XN has had on me already. I'm anxious to see how my health continues to improve. Thank you Eric Kuhrts!

Peter C Shein, MeridiumXN Experience - No More Sweet Tooth

Within a few days of starting the MeridiumXN my sweet tooth went away. I used to crave cookies, candy and cake- especially at night. It’s been 3 weeks now and I just don’t want them! I am very happy with this result.

Harold, Incredible MeridiumXN Experience

My name is Harold Cooper. I am a 58 year old male. I am signed up with Scott Brodkorb’s wife in BioNovix. I have been unsuccessful so far at recruiting, unfortunately, but I feel almost obligated to tell you and whomever else I can about what has happened to me since I joined BioNovix and have been using MeridiumXN daily.

Well, I had some skin graphs on my right leg and foot from severe burns that covered the right side of my body and both feet. About 8 years ago my leg brace wore through the graphs on my right leg and foot and large ulcerated sores appeared.

The Doctors at the VA tried to help me heal year after year with all kinds of drugs and salves and ointments and even special types bandages to increase my circulation. Finally frustrated, they all but gave up and said that my wounds would never heal due to the infections which were now in my leg bones. Well I have been using MeridiumXN for about a month and a half. I am elated to say that the wounds on my right leg and right foot are healing!

I’ve reduced my intake of my prescription for sleeping problems and also my prescriptions for anxiety, depression and PTSD. Even more incredible is that I am using less morphine for my chronic pain. It is prescribed for 30mg every 8hrs and 15mg fast release every 4hrs or prn. So you can see I have a serious pain problem. It would be hard for me to believe what is happening with regards to my health except it is happening to me.

My wife Heather and I can actually see the healed areas around my wounds every time we change my bandages. I am more rested and in a fabulous mood almost all the time. The only thing I have done different in my life is to start using MeridiumXN. So I know it is the MeridiumXN that is increasing my health and welfare. We are telling everyone we know about what is happening to me because if MeridiumXN can do this for what ails me I can’t imagine what it can do for people with other health problems? I consider it a gift from above that I was introduced to the BioNovix opportunity and the astonishing properties of MeridiumXN. Should anyone raise doubt about any of what I am saying I am willing to back up my words with my medical records and back up my claim that I am healing.

The Answer to my Challenges

I was feeling run-down, depressed, fat, lethargic. I was overweight, having a lot of cravings, out of breath, overwhelmed, unmotivated and to top it all off, it was the dark of winter, and I couldn’t seem to push myself to do any of the things I know keep me healthy. I felt like such a mess and pretty hopeless.

My naturopathic doctor put me on MeridianXN. I felt the effect immediately. My eyes saw clearer (a weird feeling) and I was oddly alert all of a sudden. Dr. Jeffrey promised me I would stop having cravings for sugar, would get my energy back and would recover quickly, so I signed up to be a distributor, because he never steers me wrong. He tests everything on himself first!

After only a few days, I was so filled with energy I started working out regularly on my eliptical, doing a full 45 minutes without difficulty. I stopped needing caffeine first thing in the morning, slept soundly, found it easy to focus and multi-task and continued to see better without my glasses! I’m running up the subway steps, pushing myself to walk briskly and am not hungry since my blood sugar seems to have stopped spiking and dropping.

You have to see it to believe it. I haven’t felt this strong and healthy in years. Honest. I love MeridianXN.

Research

Research

There are approximately 90 studies on Xanhohumol (XN) which have been successfully researched and experiments conducted by scientists and medical/biochemical researchers throughout the world. Reference: www.pubmed.gov (and enter “Xanthohumol” for your search)

Xanthohumol The Master Molecule

Research Links

Researchers at Oregon State University, working with micronutrients found in the flower of the hops plant, isolated a single molecule capable of dramatically reducing an individual’s level of oxidative stress. Scientists are discovering that this molecule, known as Xanthohumol (XN), has several unique effects and exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities. Along with inhibiting tumor growth and enzymes that activate cancer cells, it also helps the body make unhealthy compounds more water-soluble, so they can be excreted.

FAQs about MeridiumXN

2008-01-30T18:22:00.001-08:00

1) How does MeridiumXN work?

MeridiumXN is comprised of a proprietary formula of bioavailable Xanthohumol to enhance its therapeutic effectiveness in reducing metabolic stress. A strong body of research supports the benefits of Xanthohumol in reducing metabolic stress. The mechanism of action of MeridiumXN is not completely understood but is believed to work in multiple ways. Xanthohumol is a potent antioxidant with multiple biological activities that promote metabolic balance.

2) What ingredients are in MeridiumXN?

MeridiumXN is comprised of a proprietary formula of bioavailable Xanthohumol to enhance its therapeutic effectiveness in reducing metabolic stress and promoting metabolic balance.

3) What is unique about MeridiumXN's formulation?

MeridiumXN is comprised of a proprietary formula of bioavailable Xanthohumol augmented with humulon to enhance its therapeutic effectiveness in reducing metabolic stress and promoting metabolic balance. MeridiumXN's proprietary formula provides Xanthohumol in a bioavailable form that allows absorption and delivery to target organs.

4) Can I get Xanthohumol through the foods I eat?

Xanthohumol is derived from hop, which is used to add bitterness and flavor to beer. Therefore, beer is the primary dietary source of these compounds. However, the average content in beer is likely too low to achieve health-promoting benefits. Furthermore, the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption must be balanced with the health risks associated with alcohol abuse. Xanthohumol supplements are available but may not necessarily be in a form that is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Consequently, swallowing a pill or capsule does not ensure that its contents are delivered to target organs. Special formulation is often required. Furthermore, no currently available Xanthohumol supplements are augmented with other compounds to improve effectiveness. MeridiumXN is comprised of a proprietary formula of bioavailable Xanthohumol to enhance its therapeutic effectiveness in reducing metabolic stress and promoting metabolic balance. MeridiumXN's proprietary formula provides Xanthohumol in a bioavailable form that allows absorption and delivery to target organs.

5) What is Metabolic Balance?

Metabolic stress is caused by chronic metabolic imbalances or the inability to appropriately regulate any of the vast number of biochemical reactions in the cells, tissues, and organs of our bodies. We all naturally experience peaks and valleys as various metabolic processes are turned on and off. However, over time, we may lose the ability to completely recover from these fluctuations. This can potentially contribute to chronic metabolic disorders.

You have probably heard of many of the common markers physicians use to evaluate the health of specific systems in our bodies but perhaps did not know they are also markers of metabolic stress.

These markers include:
· Decreased energy
· Non-restful sleep
· Decreased retinal and ocular health
· Increased free-radical damage
· Rising cholesterol levels

Imbalances in particular systems can manifest as changes in related markers. For example, an imbalance in our natural ability to regulate glucose production with glucose disposal manifests as elevated blood glucose and a reduced ability to respond to insulin.

You may not be familiar with another important marker of metabolic stress—isoprostanes. Isoprostanes measure oxidative stress, which results from an imbalance in free radical production and antioxidant protection. Unlike markers that assess the health of specific systems (eg, cholesterol), isoprostanes are a more general marker of overall health. High isoprostane levels, which reflect increased oxidative stress, are associated with poor health.

6) What are the consequences of metabolic stress?

If not controlled, metabolic stress can potentially contribute to chronic metabolic disorders. Metabolic stress may manifest as any of the following:

· Decreased energy
· Non-restful sleep
· Decreased retinal and ocular health
· Increased free-radical damage
· Rising cholesterol levels

Metabolic stress may also manifest as increased isoprostane levels. Isoprostanes measure oxidative stress, which results from an imbalance in free radical production and antioxidant protection. Unlike markers that assess the health of specific systems (eg, cholesterol), isoprostanes are a more general marker of overall health. High isoprostane levels, which reflect increased oxidative stress, are associated with poor health.

7) How do I know if I have metabolic stress?

We all naturally experience peaks and valleys as various metabolic processes are turned on and off. So, it is not surprising that for many of us, one or more of these processes become imbalanced. You probably know many people who take medications to help lower cholesterol levels or blood sugar, for example. Although there are many possible contributing factors to these problems, metabolic stress is likely one of them.

· Other markers of metabolic stress include:
· Decreased HDL ["good"] cholesterol
· Increased triglycerides
· Reduced responsiveness to the actions of insulin, an important hormone that regulates blood sugar
· Increased C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation
· Increased cortisol, a stress hormone

Isoprostanes, another important marker of metabolic stress, measure oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance in free radical production and antioxidant protection. Unlike markers that assess the health of specific systems (eg, cholesterol), isoprostanes are a general marker of overall health. High isoprostane levels, which reflect increased oxidative stress, are associated with poor health.

Many markers of metabolic stress must be measured through blood tests in a healthcare provider's office. Soon, you will be able to measure your isoprostane levels in the privacy of your own home with minimal time, expense, and invasion of privacy. The Wellness Index Test™ introduces a new self-administered therapeutic diagnostic called Theranostics™. By measuring isoprostane in your system, you can find out your body’s level of oxidative stress. Measurement of isoprostanes should not replace measurement of other important markers but can be used in conjunction with them to assess your overall wellness and therapeutic progress.

8) How do you measure metabolic stress?

Many markers of metabolic stress (eg, cholesterol) must be measured through blood tests in a healthcare provider's office. Although these are important markers to follow, and for many people they should be regularly monitored, they only assess the health of specific systems. Another important marker of metabolic stress is isoprostanes, which measure oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance in free radical production and antioxidant protection. Isoprostanes are a more general marker of overall health. High isoprostane levels, which reflect increased oxidative stress, are associated with poor health. Measurement of isoprostanes should not replace measurement of other important markers but can be used in conjunction with them to assess your overall wellness and therapeutic progress.

9) Should I use MeridiumXN even if I feel well?

In healthcare, there is a growing focus on disease prevention, which involves addressing risk factors before they result in complications. Treating high cholesterol and blood pressure to prevent heart attacks are just 2 examples of preventive medicine. If your doctor told you your cholesterol or blood pressure was high, would you wait until you had a heart attack to treat it? Probably not. But, like high cholesterol or blood pressure, metabolic stress can progress silently. So, even if you feel well, you could be experiencing it. Many people concerned about preserving their health take measures to maintain it. MeridiumXN is one of those measures.

10) What are isoprostanes, and how are they measured?

Isoprostanes are an important marker of metabolic stress. Unlike markers that assess the health of specific systems (eg, cholesterol), isoprostanes are a more general marker of overall health. Isoprostanes are formed as a result of oxidative stress. High isoprostane levels, which reflect increased oxidative stress, are associated with poor health. Soon, you will be able to measure your isoprostane levels in the privacy of your own home with minimal time, expense, and invasion of privacy. By measuring isoprostanes in your system, you can find out your body’s level of oxidative stress.

11) What is oxidative stress?

Oxidative stress results from an imbalance in free radical production and antioxidant protection. It can by assessed by measuring isoprostane levels. High isoprostane levels, which reflect increased oxidative stress, are associated with poor health. Soon, you will be able to measure your isoprostane levels in the privacy of your own home with minimal time, expense, and invasion of privacy. By measuring isoprostanes in your system, you can find out your body’s level of oxidative stress.

12) Will MeridiumXN interact with medications that I take?

Drug interaction studies with MeridiumXN have not been conducted. There is potential for interactions with drugs metabolized by the liver, particularly some cholesterol-lowering medications and blood thinners. Talk with your doctor about whether MeridiumXN is right for you.

13) Are there side effects associated with MeridiumXN? Is it safe?

The compounds in MeridiumXN are natural substances commonly ingested in the form of beer. As food additives used during the brewing process, they are designated as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration. Based on safety studies conducted in humans to date, there are no serious side effects. Talk with your doctor about whether MeridiumXN is right for you.

14) What should I do if I take too much MeridiumXN?

No cases of overdose with MeridiumXN have been reported. However, this does not preclude the possibility. If you take too much MeridiumXN and experience side effects, contact your doctor.

15) Has MeridiumXN been studied in humans?

Yes. Additional clinical trials are under way and an extensive clinical development program has been planned.

16) What is the longest period of time MeridiumXN has been studied in humans?

One year.

17) Is MeridiumXN appropriate for children?

Because MeridiumXN has not been studied in children, BioNovix recommends that children do not take this product.

18) Does MeridiumXN contain any ingredients that would be of concern for people with special dietary needs?

MeridiumXN contains no gluten, dairy, sugar, salt, corn, soy, yeast, or artificial flavors. It has virtually no calories.

19) What is the recommended dosage of MeridiumXN?

Once daily, mix 1-3ml in 8oz. of cool water or beverage. Stir well. Drink full 8oz.

20) Can I split the dosage?

Yes.

21) With what beverages can I mix MeridiumXN?

You may mix MeridiumXN with any room temperature or cold beverage. Excessive heat destroys the active ingredients in MeridiumXN. MeridiumXN tastes best with nonacidic beverages.

22) What time of day should I take MeridiumXN?

MeridiumXN may be taken at any time during the day/night.

23) How should MeridiumXN be stored?

Once opened, MeridiumXN may be stored at room temperature for up to 30 days. If opened bottles are going to be stored for longer periods of time, they should be refrigerated. Unopened bottles may be stored at room temperature, away from direct heat, for up to 3 months. If unopened bottles are going to be stored for longer periods of time, they should be refrigerated.

Are we doomed? Isn’t there any treatment for Metabolic stress or Metabolic Syndrome (causes cancers, cardio-diseases, diabetes, depression, constipation, weight control difficulties, fatigue etc.)?

There is a way to cure and/or prevent Metabolic Syndrome.

It is MeridiumXN.

Largely, there are two kinds of diseases: Bacterial disease (in vitro: originated from outer body) and Metabolic Syndrome (in vivo: originated from inside of our body). There are 3 greatest inventions in the medical world: Penicillin, Aspirin and Xanthohumol (XN). Bacterial diseases have been controlled by penicillin. However, modern medical power cannot still solve the metabolic syndrome problems. It is an ongoing homework. In this blog, I will introduce the 3rd revolutionary invention, Xanthohumol and its great impacts on our diseases.

Metabolic Balance vs Metabolic Imbalance vs Chronic Metabolic Imbalance

2008-01-29T23:31:00.000-08:00

Metabolic Balance
Your body eliminates waste and toxins as fast as they are produced. You feel healthy, and have energy.

Metabolic Imbalance
Your body can’t keep up causing waste and toxins to occasionally build up. You feel fatique and run down.

Chronic Metabolic Imbalance
Levels of waste and toxins stay elevated for an extended perio d of time leading to serious health concerns. If left unaddressed, it can lead to Metabolic Syndrome.
Now, you got some ideas about causes of metabolic stress, metabolic imbalance, metabolic syndrome (stroke, obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart diseases etc). Then, are we doomed? Isn’t there any treatment available? Can’t modern medical power solve this problem? There is an answer. We still have a hope. I am going to start sharing all the information that answer these questions. This is why I opened up this blog. I truly hope that everyone visiting my site would be benefited in some way or another.

Metabolic Imbalances

Metabolic stress is caused by chronic metabolic imbalances or the inability to appropriately regulate any of the vast number of biochemical reactions in the cells, tissues, and organs of our bodies. We all naturally experience peaks and valleys as various metabolic processes are turned on and off. However, over time, we may lose the ability to completely recover from these fluctuations. This can potentially contribute to chronic metabolic disorders.
You have probably heard of many of the common markers physicians use to evaluate the health of specific systems in our bodies but perhaps did not know they are also markers of metabolic stress.

These markers include:
-Decreased energy
-Non-restful sleep
-Decreased retinal and ocular health
-Increased free-radical damage
-Rising cholesterol levels

Imbalances in particular systems can manifest as changes in related markers. For example, an imbalance in our natural ability to regulate glucose production with glucose disposal manifests as elevated blood glucose and a reduced ability to respond to insulin.
You may not be familiar with another important marker of metabolic stress—isoprostanes. Isoprostanes measure oxidative stress, which results from an imbalance in free radical production and antioxidant protection. Unlike markers that assess the health of specific systems (eg, cholesterol), isoprostanes are a more general marker of overall health. High isoprostane levels, which reflect increased oxidative stress, are associated with poor health.

Causes of Metabolic Stress - Part 1

2008-01-29T23:16:00.000-08:00

Then, what causes the metabolic syndrome? The answer is metabolic stress.

What is metabolic stress?

Metabolic stress is the burden on your body to manage and eliminate all of the waste and toxins your body creates and is exposed to every day. Metabolic stress is caused by factors such as food we consume, environmental pollution, stress, second hand smoke, genetic inheritance, and lack of exercise and more.
A build up of metabolic stress can cause you to feel fatigued and run down. It also causes cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, obesity, and infertility.

Consequences of Metabolic Stress:
If not controlled, metabolic stress can potentially contribute to chronic metabolic disorders. Metabolic stress may manifest as any of the following:
-Decreased energy
-Non-restful sleep
-Decreased retinal and ocular health
-Increased free-radical damage
-Rising cholesterol levels

Metabolic stress may also manifest as increased isoprostane levels. Isoprostanes measure oxidative stress, which results from an imbalance in free radical production and antioxidant protection. Unlike markers that assess the health of specific systems (eg, cholesterol), isoprostanes are a more general marker of overall health. High isoprostane levels, which reflect increased oxidative stress, are associated with poor health.

Metabolic Syndrome

As I mentioned earlier, bacterial diseases are controlled by modern medicine. The problem rises from metabolic syndrome. What is metabolic syndrome then?
Metabolic syndrome causes cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other geriatric diseases that many Americans and people in the developed countries are struggling with. Even at this moment!

You have a metabolic syndrome if:

If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol all together, it may cause 6 times to 9 times increased risk to your health compared to people who have one of these symptoms.

Scientific Advisory Board

2008-01-29T23:03:00.000-08:00

BIONOVIX, INC. Research and Development

The company is in the early stages of building a Scientific Advisory Board to assist us in establishing the direction of future research and product development, while serving as spokespersons for the science that underlies our existing products. To date, we have successfully recruited two of the most distinguished and active scientists in the area of isoprostane research.

L. Jackson Roberts II, M.D.,

Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology, Department of Medicine, Division of Clinical Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Dr. Roberts is an internationally renowned professor of Pharmacology and Medicine whose discovery of isoprostanes—compounds important in the measurement of free-radical damage—has given researchers the ability to reliably quantify oxidative stress. In the past 10 years, Roberts has given more than 50 invited presentations—including the keynote address at the First European Workshop on Isoprostanes—and authored more than 120 articles in referred journals. For his discovery of isoprostanes, the Society of Free Radical Biology and Medicine selected him for its Lifetime Achievement Award. Dr. Roberts was also presented with the Earl Sutherland Prize for Achievement in Research on August 24, 2006: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/register/articles?id=28233

Jason D. Morrow, M.D.,

Chief of the Department of Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, F. Tremaine Billings Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Clinical Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Dr. Morrow is the Principal Investigator at the Jason D. Morrow Laboratory. The laboratory's research focuses primarily on the biochemistry and pharmacology of isoprostanes. The importance of this work is that the isoprostanes exert potent biological activity and represent the most accurate method to assess oxidative stress status in vivo in humans, revolutionizing the examination of oxidant injury in disease processes. Dr. Morrow and Dr. Jackson were honored for their research on free radicals.

Fred Stevens, Ph.D.,

Professor of Medicinal Chemistry, College of Pharmacy and Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University. Fred Stevens, Ph.D. focuses on causes on the interactions of biological antioxidants with lipid peroxidation products, which are formed through radical-mediated oxygenation of polyunsaturated lipids. He is interested in these interactions because lipid peroxidation contributes to the development and progression of chronic inflammatory and age-related diseases.

Emily Ho, Ph.D.,

Assistant Faculty Professor at the College of Health and Human Sciences Oregon State University joins our Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Ho's research interests Research interests are in the area of antioxidants and gene expression and dietary chemoprevention strategies. She is currently interested in understanding the role of the antioxidant nutrients such as zinc in maintaining DNA integrity and cancer development. Specifically, she is concerned with the effects of zinc status on DNA damage, DNA repair and stress-response signal pathways. Copyright BioNovix.com © 2007. All Rights Reserved
