The summer is here, and with it increased sunlight, which many people like to sit out in and enjoy.

Sunburn results from excessive sun exposure. It is not only painful but also leads to premature ageing of the skin and sometimes to skin cancer.

As a study by Professor Mustafina (Moscow) (1) has shown, the problem of skin damage and premature skin ageing is based on disruption to the microcirculation of the capillaries (the smallest blood vessels in the body).

The capillary microscopy used in this investigation provides real-time information about the state of the microcirculation. This method allows these tiny vessels to be assessed in terms of their density, blood vessel diameter and the width of the effective zone (= perivascularity).

This technique showed that the reduced capillary blood flow and the consequent reduced supply of oxygen and energetic substrates into the skin, as well as the reduced removal of metabolic products, result in permanent skin damage.

NADH in its liposomal form can re-establish microcirculation, meaning the surrounding tissue can be supplied with energy again, thereby repairing the damaged cells. This heals skin inflammation and stops the skin from ageing. This is achieved solely through the liposomal formulation of NADH in liposomes. These are very small droplets that contain NADH and transport it to the skin. NADH develops its energising effect there in the cutis. Most cosmetics, on the other hand, only treat the skin’s surface. For many dermatologists, NADH in its liposomal form is an innovative preparation that delivers real anti-ageing.

NADH (= nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride), the biological hydrogen in our body, is in the liposomal form of a patented formulation developed by Prof. George Birkmayer, which contains only one carrier, i.e. lecithin in liposomes. With this, NADH can be transported through the skin and develop its effect there, e.g. in the event of sunburn. The DNA of the skin cells damaged by the sun’s rays (UV rays) is also repaired, thus preventing possible degeneration.

NADH in the liposomal form also prevents the formation of free radicals, while simultaneously strengthening the immune system and having a positive effect on age spots, wrinkles, acne and toxic dermatitis. Above all, it has a preventive effect when used as a sunscreen and for sun allergies.

This is described in more detail in Prof. George Birkmayer’s book, “NADH – der biologische Wasserstoff” (2)

One of the most common diseases in old age is dementia, also known as senile dementia because it usually begins after the age of 65. The wide-spread belief that Alzheimer’s and dementia are two different disorders is not true. Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia, as are, for example, vascular dementia (VAD) and Lewy body dementia.

Typically, the first signs of dementia are short-term memory loss and diminished retentive memory. Patients often gloss over this initial forgetfulness for months or even years, losing valuable time for treatment.

Other features of dementia are:

– forgetfulness, confusion

– irritability, aggressiveness

– personality changes

– depression

– speech difficulties, loss of communication skills

– disorientation in space and time.

These disorders are caused by a malfunction of the synapses (= connections) in the brain.
Due to this non-functioning cell communication, information cannot be stored and can no longer be processed due to the nerve cells being damaged.

A simple method for checking the brain performance of these patients is the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).

A person’s mind can be tested in less than 5 minutes, as follows.

1. Patients are asked 10 orientation questions such as: “What day/month/year is today?”, “What is the date today?”, “In which city/country do we live?

2. Recognition and memory can be checked by the patient having to describe 3 objects named by the examiner.

3. Attention and concentration are tested by having the patient spell a 5-letter word backwards and repeat a sequence of numbers.

4. The short-term memory is checked by the patient being asked to name the 3 objects from point 2 again.

5. Understanding: this is tested by having the patient follow commands given by the examiner, such as: repeating words, making written requests, writing down accurate statements.

The maximum score is 30 points for healthy people; less than 24 points indicates reduced brain function. (You can read more about this in section 3.6. of Prof. George Birkmayer’s book “NADH, der biologische Wasserstoff, das Geheimnis unserer Lebensenergie”).

The question is: can dementia or other brain disorders be improved or even remedied entirely?

The answer is: YES, with NADH.

This has been demonstrated by a study at Georgetown University in Washington.

In this study, Alzheimer’s patients received 10 mg of NADH per day for 6 months. The brain performance of the patients was determined using standardised tests at the beginning and end of the 6 months. The results were impressive: the patients who received NADH showed significantly better brain performance than the patients who took placebo tablets. By contrast, brain performance deteriorated in the placebo patients.

Another study carried out by Professor DEMARIN at the University of Zagreb (1) confirmed the effect of NADH on a large number of Alzheimer’s patients (2). NADH not only stops the progression of dementia, it also improves patients’ cognitive performance. The effect of NADH most probably derives from a supply of energy by NADH.

Since the human brain consumes about one-third of the energy produced by the organism, ENERGY DEFICIENCY is the most plausible cause of brain disorders. This also explains why NADH, which increases ATP in every cell, has very positive effects on brain performance disorders, especially dementia. That is why NADH is also the best prevention for dementia. It also helps healthy people to stay physically and mentally fit.

Every living cell, starting with bacteria all the way up to the human organism, contains NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride). NADH, also referred to as coenzyme 1, is the biological hydrogen that reacts with the oxygen in the cell and produces water and ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is stored in the mitochondria of the cell and is essential for all cellular processes. This means that the more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce. Especially the brain, heart and muscle cells need an extraordinary amount of energy, which is also why they contain the most NADH.

NADH is also present in our food, such as red meat, poultry and fish, and to a lesser extent in vegetables. When preparing our food, the natural NADH supply is often reduced or destroyed.

NADH’s energy boosting effects are not only known to have positive outcomes when suffering from depression, Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease, cancer and chronic fatigue, but are also beneficial in healthy and athletic individuals.

In a study conducted by Prof. George Birkmayer and Dr. Vank (1) involving 17 well-trained cyclists and marathon runners, the following was observed after these athletes had taken 1 tablet containing 20 mg NADH each morning before breakfast for a period of 4 weeks:

– Quicker reaction time – Improved concentration capacity – A significant reduction in lactate levels – Increase in physical performance and oxygen intake – The spiro-ergometric parameters improved while using NADH

Reasons for this improvement could include the following:
1. A possible pre-existing NADH deficiency. 2. An increase in the concentration of dopamine in certain areas of the brain and consequently stimulated muscle growth, given that dopamine stimulates growth hormone (GH) biosynthesis. As a result, the athletes have more strength and more endurance. 3. A stimulation of the cellular ATP energy production caused by NADH, on account of the fact that NADH enters the cell directly.

In another study conducted with 4 top athletes, Dr. Bill Missner (2) from the USA revealed the following:

– All athletes improved their sprint performance with NADH (5 minutes cycling, 1 mile running) – Better values from all athletes, also in terms of endurance

These findings were verified in a controlled double-blind study at the Institute for Sports Medicine at the University of Freiburg in Germany (3). For the athletes, the practical consequence of this study meant that through regular NADH intake they could train in the aerobic phase for prolonged periods and thereby achieve increased endurance. Creatine kinase (CK), which normally increases during endurance training, indicates that there is damage to the muscle cells. NADH rapidly returns the increased CK activity back to normal again in a very short period of time.

Prof. Komi (4) also confirmed these exceptional results in Finland based on his studies involving high-performance athletes.

Finally, an important question remains: IS NADH CONSIDERED DOPING?
The IOC (International Olympic Committee) as well as the NADA (National Anti-Doping Agency) were very clear in their answers:
The substance nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH) does NOT constitute a doping violation.

NADH is the method of choice for people who want to increase their physical energy, vitality and mental capacity with the help of this coenzyme that is produced naturally in the body. It should also be mentioned that no side effects have been observed when consuming higher doses of NADH (200 mg/day).

How does cancer arise?

1. Through genetic changes in the DNA, the hereditary material in the cells.

2. Through a lack of ATP energy in cells. As a result, the cells’ repair mechanisms no longer function properly.

3. Through free radicals.

Ad 1)
The DNA can be damaged by many different influences. These include environmental toxins, pesticides, smoking, medication such as chemotherapy, heavy metals like mercury (in tooth fillings), UV light and nuclear radiation. All these factors generate free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that change our genetic material and so create the basis for cancer to develop.

Ad 2)
The production of ATP (= adenosine triphosphate), the cells’ energy store, is controlled by Coenzyme 1, NADH. The more NADH is available to a cell, the more ATP that cell can produce, the better it functions and the longer it lives. An NADH deficiency was found in every investigated cancer cell sample. (1) These cells therefore have an ATP deficiency. This is the biochemical cause for the cancer cells’ uncontrolled division and subsequent formation of metastases. The key question for a plausible cancer treatment is therefore: can one increase the ATP concentration inside cells, and if yes, how? ATP levels can be increased with NADH. This has been demonstrated in isolated heart cells. (2). The oxidised form of NADH, NAD+, and its precursor niacin, however, do not result in increased ATP levels. Administering NADH also increases ATP in the cancer cells, allowing the regulatory molecules to be synthesised in these again and so putting a stop to uncontrolled cell division. The renowned US physician Dr. Thomas COWAN describes in chapter 10 of his book, “CANCER and the NEW BIOLOGY of WATER”, why the form of NADH developed and patented by Prof. George Birkmayer is effective against cancer. He explains that NADH supplies the hydrogen to the cell; this hydrogen then reacts with the oxygen to produce ATP energy and water. Michael D. Forrest of the University of Warwick, Coventry, UK comes to a similar conclusion regarding the positive effects of NADH on cancer (3).

Ad 3)
Dr. Richard Passwater also writes in his foreword to my book, “NADH-The energizing Coenzyme”: There is no substance in the human body that one can describe as THE most important or best biological antioxidant, but NADH comes closer to this description than any other biological substance. According to him, NADH is the strongest biological antioxidant and so the best substance for neutralising free radicals.
NADH has been scientifically demonstrated to work effectively against many cancers. The mechanism of action is based on several factors: the modified DNA in cancer cells is repaired through NADH (4). With NADH, the ATP energy in the cancer cells is increased (2), and being the strongest biological antioxidant, NADH neutralises free radicals, one of the causes of cancer (5).
Four of the more than 90 cancer patients who were successfully treated with NADH will be presented; all of them (like many others) were healed with NADH.

Patient 1:
A 48-year-old man with small-cell lung cancer, diagnosed in September 2001 through CT, MRI and biopsy and considered inoperable due to the proximity to the mediastinum, received 80 mg NADH/day (4 tablets à 20 mg). Four months later, the tumour had shrunk significantly; after 10 months, it was no longer visible in the MRI scan. The patient has been healthy since May 2002 (so for 18 years).

Patient 2:
In 1989, in a 63-year-old woman with breast cancer and liver and bone metastases, a reduction of the metastases was observed after 3 months following treatment with 80 mg NADH/day. After 2 years, all tumour markers in the blood were back to normal and the patient was healthy – and still is today.

Patient 3:
A man who had prostate cancer in 1994 received 6 tablets of NADH (20 mg) daily. Six months after administration of NADH, the PSA level dropped from 35 to the normal range of 2.0-5.0. Subsequently, neither ultrasound nor CT could detect a tumour.

Patient 4:
A 42-year-old Algerian had a 3.5-cm large medulloblastoma in the cervical vertebrae (diagnosed on 03/08/2013). It left him paralysed in his arms and legs and using a wheelchair.
The patient could not be operated because of the tumour’s location, and he rejected chemotherapy. After daily administration of 160 mg NADH/day (8 tablets NADH à 20 mg), the medulloblastoma was no longer detectable on 28/11/2013 (after 3 months) and the paralysis was gone. The patient was healed, and 6 years later he is still healthy.

Conclusion: 
The best way to strengthen your immune system in times like these and to simultaneously improve your cell energy is through NADH. You can find the types of cancer successfully treated with NADH in the book by Univ. Prof Dr med George Birkmayer: “NADH, alles was Sie über NADH (Coenzym1) wissen sollten“ (NADH – Everything you need to know about NADH (Coenzyme 1)) in chapter 10 (NADH bei Krebs/NADH and cancer).

Nitric oxide (NO) is a widespread signalling molecule that participates in virtually every cellular and organ function in the body (1).

The main site of the molecule’s synthesis is the inner layer of blood vessels. It relaxes blood vessels and due to this improves the blood flow in the heart and lowers the blood pressure.(2)

In the immune system, nitric oxide is produced by macrophages, which are a type of leukocyte (white blood cell) that engulfs bacteria and other foreign particles such as viruses that have invaded the body. Nitric oxide is generated by phagocytes (monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils) as part of the human immune response.(3) NO is also an effective component in the eradication of viruses. Viral replication is inhibited by the induction of iNOS and the subsequent production of NO. This has been shown for Deng Virus (4), HIV-1, coxsackievirus (5), influenza A and B, rhino virus, CMV and Corona Virus)(6).

How can we increase the endogenous NO production ? The source for NO is the amino acid L- Arginine. By the action of the enzyme Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) NO is formed from L-Arginine.

The enzyme NOS needs the coenzyme NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Hydride) for full functionality. As shown by Prof.T. Malinski (Ohio University) the increase of NO-synthesis by NADH supplementation is at least ten times greater than the effect of any other substance). (T. Mailinksi, personal communication). In other words a combination of L-Arginine and NADH increase the endogenous NO production remarkably and can thus destroy the COV-2 virus in infected patients which have developed SARS.

There is a nutritional supplement available which contains L-Arginine and NADH, the brand name of which is NADH VISION.

All three of the diseases mentioned above affect the digestive tract.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS for short) is a condition characterised by symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating and a feeling of not having a complete bowel movement. It can be caused by stress, intestinal infections, nutrition or, as is often the case, a number of these in combination with a genetic predisposition.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which the large intestine (otherwise known as the colon) is affected in particular. Those affected may suffer from painful, bloody, mucousy diarrhoea up to several times a day and even during night, often with the urge to have a bowel movement at night, with cramp-like, colic-like stomach pains, possibly with slight fever, combined with weight loss and fatigue. In ulcerative colitis, only the intestinal mucosa is affected.

However, in contrast to this you have Crohn’s disease, where the entire intestinal wall is inflamed. It may be based on an autoimmune disease that can occur throughout the entire digestive tract from the oral cavity to the anus. Crohn’s disease usually begins gradually with abdominal pain and diarrhoea, which persists and leads to weight loss. Elevated blood levels of CRP, blood sedimentation rate and leukocytes can confirm the diagnosis. The distinction between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease can be clarified by a colonoscopy.

Having said that, if you undergo targeted therapy with NADH then this distinction is of secondary importance, as we have received feedback from some of our customers who have said that NADH has helped them a lot with these intestinal problems.

Mr K. reported the following: “I have been suffering with Crohn’s disease for 20 years now and have had persistent diarrhoea and sometimes excruciating stomach pains. I always needed a toilet within a 20m radius as I would not be able to control the urge to pass a bowel movement.Travelling, meeting up with friends or going to work was out of the question. I felt like a prisoner locked up at home.

After taking 2 x 4 NADH tablets every day, I’ve become a new person.

It wasn’t long at all before I was able to pass solid stools again for the first time, I was able to go out of the house again, I gained weight and I have much more energy to tackle life again.

I have rediscovered the JOY OF LIFE and my QUALITY OF LIFE has increased enormously.”

For people who want to feel healthy again or stay healthy!

NADH – the biological alternative to Methylphenidate (Ritalin).

Demands on society are constantly growing. Students in particular are under tremendous pressure to perform. But what happens when continual tests increase this pressure? To go through these stressful periods successfully, students use way too much coffee as stimulant. Most students, however, resort to the chemical stimulant Ritalin.

Ritalin is a prescription medication that is given in particular to young people who suffer from ADHD. 80% of students in the US take Ritalin. The numbers in Europe are not significantly lower. However, the long-term usage of Ritalin can produce serious side effects, e.g. hallucinations, paranoid psychoses, anxiety and insomnia.

The question is whether there is an alternative. The answer is YES: NADH. It is scientifically proven that NADH, also known as Coenzyme-1, improves cognitive abilities like attention, concentration, visual perception and reaction time. This was shown in a study at Cornell University in New York. NADH is a naturally occurring substance without any side effects, as shown in more than 50 studies. You can take NADH your whole life without any habit-forming effect.

NADH also improves brain blood circulation and therefore oxygen supply, in particular in people with ADHD. The evidence for this was provided via computer tomography in a study in a neurological clinic in Mexico. People with ADHD had significantly reduced brain blood circulation (see 3 photos on the left). After only 2 weeks of treatment with NADH the brain blood circulation normalized (see 3 photos on the right).
