As we get older we get wise. Isn't that true?

We see the world through seasoned eyes, I agree with you on that.

We also have a few tendencies we're not too thrilled about but it's the price of being here on this planet in this Universe at this time.

Physics scholars call it entropy. It has to do with the passage of time and what happens with it. One thing I learned today is that as the Universe expands its light dims.

Same with us.

As we age, our light dims. That's why it's such a benefit to be enlightened and why in many advanced cultures that's actually quite revered.

One problem health-wise that occurs as our light perhaps dims is the potential development of sugar in the blood or what we doctors call metabolic syndrome and what is can turn into type 2 Diabetes.

A lot of people have it.

Especially when they eat too much, which is easy to do, from a supply side, and from an emotional side, and from a lack of enough movement side.

Indeed, a new study says that 44 million people will have diabetes soon.

Researchers at the University of Chicago are projecting that 44 million Americans will be living with diabetes. That's nearly double the 23.7 million children and adults who currently have the disease.

The societal cost of this increase will be huge, with spending on diabetes nearly tripling from $113 billion to $336 billion. This will place an enormous burden on our health care system.

The toll on personal health will be far greater. Diabetes is a very serious condition that occurs when blood sugar levels in the body aren't right. The high blood sugar level causes small blood vessels in the body to become fragile and break, which can lead to terrible consequences.

I have seen people who are diabetic, and due to the disease, have lost their sight or limbs.

Also kidneys are at risk.

Prevention is the key to this growing problem.

Here are 4 Steps You Must Take Now:

1) Getting rid of sugar-laden foods, such as cookies, cakes, and sodas is one of the first steps. Reducing or eliminating other simple carbohydrates, such as crackers, chips, and white bread, is important too. Watching your sugar intake isn't as easy as you might think. Hundreds of everyday foods you might not think contain sugar actually
do. These foods include salad dressing, ketchup, and marinara sauce.

2) Getting enough high quality exercise. That's right. Recent research reveals that it takes an hour a day of walking, or less of a slightly more intense exercise, to drive blood sugar into your cells and restore insulin balance. This is great for your brain, too.

3) You must take a very high quality Multivitamin/mineral tablet that contains Chromium. There is very good scientific evidence that chromium, such as found in my Longevity Gold Caps, can help balance blood sugar levels and help with cravings for sweets. They also have a powerful array of antioxidants for super health and extra Vit. C. A new study shows that Vitamin C is critically important in maintaining your immune system as you age. You need 4-6 of the Gold Caps every day. http://www.drdharma.com/goldcaps

4) You absolutely must reduce your stress with mediation. There are no if ands or buts. The multiple benefits you gain from meditating can not be duplicated by anything else. That's why I've kept the same low price of The Meditation Club. You need to sign up now because the price will go up soon. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. http://www.drdharma.com/meditationclub

Don't let aging get the best of you.

Let's walk this beautiful path together.

Best of Blessings,

In countries such as India where yoga originated there is a saying, " You re only as young as your spine is flexible."

And back pain is much less prevalent there.
 
In Western countries however, back pain and stiffness are so commonplace that pain doctors are making a fortune treating it.
 
You also see back braces advertised on TV and so on down the line.
 
I have experience in treating back pain the conventional way; I was a pain doc for many years and was the founding director of pain program at The University of Arizona's teaching hospital in Phoenix a number of years ago. I did a lot of blocks and pain shots. And although they do help a little bit, they cost lot and are uncomfortable and time consuming and often times do have side effects.
 
And recall I wrote all about my work in my breakthrough book, The Pain Cure.
 
But I'll tell you one thing: I've cured my own back pain and that of many patients by teaching them the same simple spinal flex exercises that can be found on my Wake Up to Wellness DVD. http://www.drdharma.com/wakeuptowellness
 
It's a simple exercise series that leaves you feeling energized, flexible, and pain free.
 
And there is a big bonus benefit as well. The Wake Up to Wellness Series ends with the same short Kirtan Kriya Meditation that my actual and real research at Penn has revealed boosts your brain power, reverses memory loss, and improves your mood as well.
 
It's a great bargain and has helped thousands of people enjoy a pain free life.
 
Claim your Wake Up to Wellness DVD today along with Here Comes the Sun, a great DVD to get you through the cold weather with energy and vitality and inner heat. http://www.drdharma.com/herecomesthesundvd
 
The set can get rid of back pain fast. Often times after the first 3 minutes of doing the spinal flex exercise.
 
Make sure you try it today.
 
Best of Blessings, 

P.S. "I was so stiff I could barely get out of bed in the morning. It was a disaster. I began doing your exercises and not only do I feel younger but I've lost my belly too."

There's simply no substitute for eating healthy unprocessed whole foods. That we know.

However, there is one supplement I consider mandatory for all adults.

And that's Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

Why ?

As you know, one of the key elements in the aging process is free radical production, which causes damage to your tissues and DNA.

One very special nutrient that limits the free radical production and slows aging is CoQ10.

Now, if you're less than 25 years old, this is not an issue -- your body is capable of utilizing your own innate CoQ10. However, if you're older, your body becomes more and more challenged to have enough.  

Another very important reason for using a CoQ10 supplement is to help boost your body's cellular energy production. CoQ10 helps facilitate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency for all your cells.

So even if you do your best to eat wholesome unprocessed foods, your body's capability to produce CoQ10 is limited and declines over time.

So you need a smart way to help turn this process around.

And as mentioned, the challenge you face as you age is this -- your body levels of CoQ10 continue to diminish.

The good news is with my Longevity Energy Caps you can gain the optimal advantage for your brain, body, and energy. http://www.drdharma.com/energycaps

The Longevity Energy Caps unique 3 supplement synergistic combination also contains Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl L Carnitine. It's a 3 –in-one-awesome combination.

It will help you:

1. Feel younger and reduce the normal signs of aging
2. Have beautiful skin
3. Enhance the support of your immune and nervous systems*
4. Replenish your CoQ10 levels if you're taking a statin drug*

You're determined to feel young and full of life... don't let aging get the best of you.

Isn't it time you put some more energy back into your life? You'll feel great.

Energy Caps rock. http://www.drdharma.com/energycap

Best of Blessings,

P.S. From the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH): "No serious side effects have been reported from the use of coenzyme Q10." And that's ditto for Alpha Lipoic and Acetly L Carnitine.

P.P. S. Don't forget, you save with continuity.

I was at my bank today and went in to visit with one of the VP's. We were talking about current economic conditions.
 
He told me that their is interest out there in refinancing home loans and so on, but there is so much stress in the industry that it is getting to him.
 
"I need more memory." he said.
 
"I can't seem to keep my mind wrapped around everything on my plate. And I'm worried because my son keeps asking me if I'm O.K."
 
"What's the number two issue after memory?" I asked him.
 
"Focus and concentration," he added. "That's my real problem. I need more of that."
 
I took him to my website and he looked at The Brain Tabs and read from the text: "Memory in a bottle. That would really benefit me."
 
It also says, "Never forget anything ever again and improve your mental power."
 
"I really need that," he said again. "And I'll tell you what; a lot of my friends do too."
 
Here is what I prescribed for him: The Memory Loss Reversal Kit.
 
The kit contains everything anyone needs to gain enhanced attention, concentration and focus. It also actually helps reverse memory loss as well.
 
And beyond that, the Memory Loss Reversal Kit gives you lots of mental energy, which everyone needs right now. 
 
It also reverses the effects of stress and has the amazing re-youthing effect of turning back your brain's age by 12 years.
 
My banker friend ordered 2 of the Memory Loss Reversal Kits. One for himself and one for his wife.
 
"She is having some issues as well. After all we're both in our mid-fifties.
 
Plus, I don't want to maximize my memory and have her lag behind."
 
If you need to be sharp and gain a younger brain you need the Memory Loss Reversal Kit. http://www.drdharma.com/memorylosskit
 
Maximize your memory today.

O.K. football fans. Was that a great finish to the Saints, Vikings game, or what?

It was a great night of redemption for the city of New Orleans, that's for sure. While men and women were laughing through their tears on Sunday night, it wasn't long ago when the Superdome was darkly symbolic of Hurricane Katrina and its horrors, a home for thousands seeking a shelter of last resort.

At last, the people of the Bayou received an inspirational gift that can be vital to self-esteem and the ongoing recovery mission, surviving the will of a battered 40 year old Brett Favre to reach overtime and then gain a 31-28 victory via a game-winning field goal by a kicker who had a premonition the night before.

What else would you expect in the land of voodoo and beads but a foretelling?

"I couldn't sleep and I called my dad at 2:30 in the morning," said kicker Garrett Hartley.

"I told him, 'Dad, I think I'm gonna kick the game-winner, 42 yards by the right hash.'

Almost five minutes into the extra period, there was the ball, spotted on the right hash mark, 40 yards from the uprights. "That was an amazing feeling, a very surreal thing, two yards away,'' Hartley said. "I've never believed in stuff like that.''

Well this is one of those times when experience grants belief. He may not have had a belief in anything like that before but now, because of his experience, he does.

You know, in that regard, animals are better than us. They have particular attributes given to them by the creator that allows them to be themselves and survive. They have claws and fur and a great sense of smell and so on.

Animals are really connected to their soul. That's how they live in the flow of life.

They also have tremendous intuition, which we as humans have in short supply.

It's there but mostly buried and rarely utilized. Occasionally, as with what happened on Sunday, it rocks to the forefront unbidden. Wouldn't it be absolutely fantastic if we could tap into it more often and on a regular basis or at will?

Some people do have that ability, and some of my Dr. Dharma Doers have developed a heightened sense of that state of being-ness.

For example Susan from Santa Fe wrote in and told me that since he's joined The Mediation Club, the exact right people have been appearing in her life just when she needs them to help her create maximal success in her new business.

And she doesn't have to dream it either. It happens consciously and quite often.

There is nothing quite like effortless success.

It's way beyond the basic law of attraction.

You can have it all.

But here's my problem. Not enough of you have joined my new Meditation Club for 2010. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the economy or something like that or a misperception that you can't afford it.

So let me dash that right now. It's more like you can't afford not to. But only if you want to be totally cool, ultimately healthy, and as successful as you desire.

After all, the cost is only 34 cents a day. Are you kidding me?

The return is unbelievable.

So here's what's up right now.

Last night Martin asked me what we should change (raise) the price on the Meditation Club to. I thought about it and said, "Don't raise it."

Why? Because not enough of you are taking advantage of this amazing opportunity.

You really need to meditate with me and see how your life improves
and fast.

Don't believe me. I don't want you to. Be like the kicker. Have the experience. Then you'll win the Super Bowel of life.

Check out the still low price and revised format now. http://www.drdharma.com/meditationclub

As they say in tennis, "Come on."

And when you do, I'll answer like they do in tennis as well with a hearty,

"Well done."

Can how your mind works actually change your DNA?

If you've been following me here awhile, then you know that your DNA isn't fixed any more than your brain cells are. You can change both and how you do it influences each other and how long you live.

You know that your choices might ruin your short-term memory or make you gain weight or could hasten death, and now we know that they can and do change your DNA for better or worse, till death do you part.

Now it's clear that there are things you can do to change your genes. And when you change your genes you can change your life. The reality is that what you do can improve your genes or damage them.

And you are changing your genetics daily and perhaps even hourly by eating, and breathing and thinking and stressing. In large measure you are the creator of your genetic roadmap and your life.

You aren't doomed by bad genes either.

You can change the instructions you send your genes and this may very well be the future of healing.

And the quality and quantity of your life depends on it

As I've been following this new research for a number of years, I've gone way ahead of the curve to help you influence positively your genes.

There are two very significant ways to boost your gene power that I want to share with you right now:

• Your psychological well-being is the number one determinant of how your genes react to life. Your mind and your thoughts talk to the rest of your body all the way down to your cells and your DNA.
   
• My research clearly reveals that my meditations do maximize your psychological well-being as well as your physical and emotional health. The master yogis who taught my teacher who taught me were eons ahead of science as it stands today. They were totally tuned in.
• I've retooled my Mediation Club for 2010 with a new format and a new low piece so if you want to keep your genes happy you need to discover what I have for you. The first one of the year is receiving rave reviews and it is not too late to join. But the new low price was supposed to expire on my birthday but I've extended it. http://www.drdharma.com/meditationclub
• What else? Both The Super Longevity Caps and The Energy Caps are scientifically formulated to have a powerfully positive effect on your genes and help transform you to a new level of health and longevity.
   
• And now, they're available together at a markedly reduced price. Even lower than the former low super sale price.
• Why? Answer is simple. I want you to have them and experience the bliss of rejuvenation.

Go here now to pick up the Rejuvenation Bundle while supplies last at this new low price. http://www.drdharma.com/rejuvenationbundle

So let's review:

1. You can influence your genes and change your life.

2. My New Meditation Club is the best way to boost your mind power and make your genes and spiritual life much more actively better. http://www.drdharma.com/meditationclub

3. My Rejuvenation Bundle is made up of 2 supplements that each contains 3 life-extending ingredients at a super duper special below sale price. Just for you while supplies last. http://www.drdharma.com/rejuvenationbundle

Let's do it.  

Best of Blessings,

P.S. Take advantage of the real deal.

Well first of all, thank everyone so much for all their kind happy birthday wishes. I mentioned Face Book yesterday, but that was before a number of birthday wishes were forwarded to me by Martin from the site as well.

My daughter-in-law asked me how I felt and I said, "Wizened," which really means aged. But that's not really how I feel. I would say on one hand I feel like a champion boxer who's been through a number of tough bouts but has come out ahead and still holds the belt.

He's still the champ although maybe he's worked hard and taken a few shots along the way.

But although he may not be as young or as fast as he once was, he's still strong and clear and as determined as ever.

Moreover, I am very grateful for the opportunity to be connected with all of you.

If I can help you be more like your best and highest self, I'm good.

I must add that I'm also more appreciative of niceties and good deeds and kindness than ever before.

A little goodness goes a long way.

As one of my birthday well wishers wrote, "The greatest pleasure in life is to love and be loved."

So there you go.

Onward and upwards.

A new study showed that grapes and Concord grape juice contains polyphenols, compounds that confer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and influence neuronal signaling.

That's how good your brain cells talk to each other. It's those messages that influence your behavior and your memory.

In that previous studies have shown that Concord grape juice supplementation reduces inflammation, lowers blood pressure, and helps improve the heart.

Researchers studied a group of twelve older adults with memory decline, but not dementia. Subjects consumed Concord grape juice for 12 weeks. Observing "significant improvement in a measure of verbal learning and enhancement of verbal and spatial recall, they suggest that: "supplementation with Concord grape juice may enhance cognitive function for older adults with early memory decline."

So being well ahead of the curve, when I formulated my Super Longevity Caps, I included grape seed polyphenols in it along with the by now famous and well appreciated Resveratrol and Quercetin.

Resveratrol activates a critically important gene, which confers longevity along with a high quality of life.

Quercetin is an immune stimulator and also makes sure your body can absorb the Resveratrol.

It's a powerful supplement that I take every day because I want to be here tomorrow.

And now for this week end only, I've authorized a big price reduction on my Rejuvenation Bundle even further than it currently is.

You'll save over fifty bucks from the regular price.
http://www.drdharma.com/rejuvenationbundle

The complete rejuvenation bundle is actually 2 months worth of Longevity Energy Caps and The Super Longevity Caps.

The Energy Caps are not only great for your brain but they also make you younger where you need it most, deep inside your cells power plant machines.

You'll be feeling fantastic when you take these both supplements
together.

So, jump on the new low price while it lasts only for this weekend.

Hey it's my birthday and I can do what I want to.

Scientists used to believe the connections among the brain nerve cells were set early in life and did not change in adulthood. However, with the help of advancements in brain imaging techniques, this assumption has been disproved.

In fact, scientists have come to grasp the concept of ongoing brain development.

Studies have indicated that mental training through meditation can change the inner workings of the brain and allow people to achieve different levels of awareness.

My research and that of others we have been able to:

• Prove that brain function and memory can be improved.
• Identify the left prefrontal cortex of the brain -- an area just behind the left forehead -- as a place where brain activity associated with meditation is particularly intense

We have studied people with no meditation experience and advanced meditators as well and the results are all positive

I've always known that meditation is a wonderful tool that can help you take a deliberate break from the stream of thoughts that are constantly flowing in and out of your mind. Some people use it to promote spiritual growth or find inner peace, while others use it as a relaxation and stress-reduction tool.

Beyond memory, our work provides further support for the link between physical and emotional health. Since we are constantly stimulated in our daily lives -- visually, mentally, emotionally and physically -- it is not surprising that taking a break from this stimulation can actually improve your physical health.

Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the health benefits of meditation.

One earlier study found that people who underwent eight weeks of meditation training produced more antibodies to a flu vaccine. This reveals that meditation can boost your immune system.

If your schedule is anything like mine, you are probably wondering how you can possibly fit regular a meditation practice into your schedule.

I've made it easy for you with my new bi-monthly Meditation Club that gives you the best results you can find in only 12 minutes a day.

It's re-tooled and at a lower price with 2 options. But the new lower price option ends today.

It was just the other day that I shared an overview about senior moments and Alzheimer's. And indeed, I've covered that topic before.

The next idea to point out is that in order to be proactive in prevention, there must be an early warning system.

In a manner not unlike cholesterol measurements or blood pressure, or mammography or colonoscopy, having a memory screen is critically important.

That's why my foundation, The Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation, in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, sponsors a Memory Screening Day event in Tucson every year.

This year we screened well over 100 people during a 3 hour period and discovered a small but significant number of people with an abnormal memory by using a simple screening test called The MMSE or Mini-Mental Status Exam.

When we found someone who scored poorly on the test we told them to follow up with their personal physician. And frankly, one elderly woman was referred to her doctor even before that day because when she was called to remind her that she had registered for a test she had no recollection of any of it.

So I was actually grateful that we were doing it because we really
helped a number of people that day.

If you've never had your memory checked, I think it's a good time to get started. Now I can't give you the MMSE on line. But what I can do is make available to you a simple, no-cost brain age and function exam.

To access it simply go here and see what it's all about. http://www.drdharma.com/memorytest
 
Save your mind and memory, take the test. It's easy.

Over 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease. In 2050, that number is expected to rise to as many as 16 million.

Well, it's said that everything comes with a price. The average American now lives almost thirty years longer than a hundred years ago. But for millions of people, the price of longevity has been Alzheimer's disease.

The greatest fear my patients express to me is, "I think I'm losing my mind."

They usually relate small lapses of memory:

• "I was making a phone call and I couldn't remember who I was calling."
• "I saw somebody I know like the back of my hand and I couldn't think of her name."
• "I lost my train of thought mid-sentence."

Are they overloading their synapses with all the multi-tasking they do, is it normal aging, or is the beginning of Alzheimer's? That is the usual question.

And what about my patients who complain of mild memory loss?

Much of the time such lapses do turn out not to be early Alzheimer's but are significant just the same and may proceed to the dreaded mind-robber. But it's not a normal part of aging. That's a myth. But many conservative conventional doctors can be too dismissive of such complaints, saying, "That happens to me, too," they say.

It turns out that changes in the brain probably start to occur about 10-15 years before the onset of Alzheimer's disease symptoms.

Preventing Alzheimer's is possible. Indeed one recent research article revealed that simply by exercising and eating well you can diminish your risk from 21% to 9%.

The situation is urgent. As the population ages, the numbers of people developing Alzheimer's disease is expected to increase dramatically without adapting a preventive program.

It's clear we need to make preventing Alzheimer's disease a national priority and I know that we can head off what is obviously an impending disaster.

There are 2 things you can do right now:

1. Learn to reduce stress with meditation. My Meditation Club is perfect. http://www.drdharma.com/meditationclub

2. Make sure you're at least utilizing the effective supplements in my Starter Kit. http://www.drdharma.com/starterkit

3. And if you or a loved one is noticing a bit of memory loss at the moment you must discover The Memory Loss Reversal Kit. http://www.drdharma.com/memorylosskit Please make sure you're doing everything possible to save your mind and memory.
