Compatibility of Protandim and Amrit Kalash

Some friends may wonder how I would compare Protandim to Amrit Kalash, both of which are powerful, holistic nutraceuticals.  I’ve taken Amrit fairly regularly since it was available 26 years ago. Coincidentally, I was in-between orders when I started Protandim, so I held off starting a new jar of Amrit nectar to clarify the new effects and experience of taking Protandim. After two months, I wanted to revisit Amrit and so got another jar. Wow, revisiting Amrit was a more beautiful experience than ever! To make a long story short, my experience is that Amrit and Protandim complement each other. They are both very special and powerful to me.  Amrit is a gift of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and his top ayurvedic advisors.  Protandim affects my emotional body with a broad-based feeling of well-being and my physical body with a sense of amazing healing ability.  Some top people in the LifeVantage Corporation were surprised at how rapid my response was to it. Likewise, when I resumed Amrit, I was also surprised by how much stronger my response was to Amrit.  Clearly, there was no interference between the two; in fact, just the opposite. I am careful not to take Protandim within two hours of Amrit because Amrit may contain some of the same herbs, which could throw off the exact formulation of Protandim.  But I do take them both daily, and feel that each has a stronger effect as a result.

Ingredients: Milk Thistle, Green Tea, Turmeric, Bacopa, Ashwagandha

100% Vegetarian Protandim is a patented, proprietary blend of 5 ancient plants:
            Milk Thistle, Green Tea, Turmeric, Bacopa, Ashwagandha
Protandim is a patented, anti-aging supplement and the subject of an increasing number of scientific studies at universities and research facilities around the world. It is specially formulated to combat oxidative stress, also known as free-radical damage, on the cellular level.
Scientific research has validated that damage to your body’s cells by oxidative stress (think of it like rust in a car engine) is the root cause of aging, malfunction, and more than 100 health conditions.
While blueberries, vitamin E, and other antioxidant substances eliminate one free radical for every one antioxidant molecule consumed, one Protandim a day eliminates free radicals at a rate of ONE-MILLION-to-one per second, every second, reducing your oxidative stress level to that of a 20 year-old in just 30 days. These results are published on www.PubMed.gov, the National Institutes of Health website for peer-reviewed studies from around the world.  (Search in PubMed.gov on “Protandim.”)

Other ingredients used as binders include: Calcium, Croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, modified cellulose, silica & stearic acid. 

Protandim is free of Gluten, Wheat, Dairy, Gelatin and Yeast and is approved by the Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG) for use in all sports including the US Olympics.  Protandim is tested for heavy metals.
Protandim has no known drug interactions. One way to check specific medications is to do a Google search for herbal contraindications.  For your search, enter "herbal contraindications and [the name of your medicine]." If one of the herbs in Protandim is contraindicated for your specific medication, it will be listed in this search.

protecting yourself early
 “[Protandim is] something that I never thought I would take advantage of…I don’t like to take medicine, I don’t like to take pills; I don’t like to take Advil or aspirin when I have a headache, I just suffer through it, but now that I know that I have Protandim, it’s just an awesome experience.” – Monique Holmes
stroke
 “In January of 2008 I was 32 years old & I had a stroke. (…) I wasn’t able to practice for about 2 weeks. (…) I didn’t take Protandim to become symptom-free; I’m a doctor, I understand that strokes…they usually debilitate people the rest of their lives. So I wasn’t looking for something that would take away my symptoms, I wanted something that would maybe help me with them…maybe prevent, maybe even postpone [another event] (…) It’s a genetic trait in my family…
“And so I ran into Protandim in June of 2010 & kicked it away because it was network marketing, I didn’t want anything to do with it, never done it before, thought I understood the model…kicked it away. It came back to me several times & the last time it came back to me I was asked to do some research for somebody; not to get on it, not to do the business, but just to research it. So I dove in, started to do research, started taking the product…in December of 2010 I woke up symptom-free.”
– Dr. Nathan Bailey
degenerative discs
 “Back when I was 23 I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, and they said that by the time I hit 50 my spine would be riddled with arthritis, I would be in pain and there would be no hope…” (…) I no longer have any swelling, no pain, no sciatica, and no restless leg syndrome.” — Carla J. Gardiner
melanomas
 “I’ve suffered & struggled with skin cancer for a number of years (…) I’ve had several surgeries removing skin cancer (…) I had 2 spots on my forehead that my doctor said needed to be removed and one spot on my leg…I was using Protandim and also TrueScience and I’d been using the product for about 6 weeks (…) so after 6 weeks after using Protandim and True Science the 2 spots on my forehead completely disappeared & the spot on my leg completely disappeared as well.” — Nancy Leavitt
menopause
 “After about 2 months of taking Protandim my PMS symptoms are completely gone, I haven’t had any hot flashes or night sweats, my hair is not only not-falling-out, it’s growing like crazy, my hair & my nails are growing twice as fast as they were before, I’m sleeping all the way through the night & I have more energy than I’ve ever had…and I’m in my 40s.”

“For about 4 months before I started taking Protandim I had been on the couch, no energy, unable to get up, and I had such terrible brain fog that I was beginning to seriously worry that perhaps I was having the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s…and as a self-employed businesswoman, not able to function in my business anymore, I was even looking at welfare as an option because I just wasn’t able to function in life, and it was scary.” — Tanya Waring [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kBRH4d2lLU&feature=player_embedded ]

FAQs:

 “Compared to the reality of the drug industry, my book reads like a vacation postcard.” – John Le Carre, Author
Why would drug companies want to cure diseases when they can merely ‘treat’ them so lucratively?
Pharmaceutical-industry funded studies, websites & so-called ‘scam’ blogs (whose pay-by-click clerks are fed jargon-filled propaganda & paid to amass a smokescreen of dis-information about holistic products) conspire to dissuade an already indoctrinated public from trying any natural, non-invasive, non-addictive, non-synthetic supplements like Vitamin C, Protandim and even Multivitamins.
How many employees of the pharmaceutical industry are secretly taking Protandim themselves? You don’t have to know much about this product to be curious enough to sample it, and once you’ve tried it you realize how valuable a supplement this is.
The Standard American Diet (brought to you by the meat & dairy boards) and Conventional Medical Paradigm aren’t merely conspiracies we’ve all grown up believing; they’re venal, deceptive, amoral, profit-driven, disease-spreading, global business models, dominant for so long that we accept them as unconditional realities.
Just ask yourself: who profits from an unhealthy public? Who gains by selling us expensive & side-effect-filled blood pressure medications, insulin, statins, steroids, proton-pump inhibitors, sexual performance aids & addictive drugs for depression that ‘may cause feelings of suicide’?
And what sort of ‘average person’ would care if you sampled a patented product like Protandim, with no known drug interactions, deemed safe for use at the Olympics, that may have all kinds of benefits to the ongoing health of the global community?
Who gains from our addiction to a drug-infested medical system?
And who stands to lose if the under-developed nations of the world move into a sustainable natural health-care future, rather than the pharmacological protocol of egregiously costly, toxic & debilitating drugs, tests & surgeries which (hm…now why is this) so often seem to cause more problems than they cure?
Because foods cannot be patented, the drug companies wage war on every food, plant & regimen that is not a petroleum-based chemical sludge of side-effects & birth-defects waiting to happen. Who are the real witch doctors in this modern world?
Protandim is so unique that despite being a completely natural herbal supplement, it has been granted 4 patents. This poses an unusual threat to the pharmaceutical industry and they are now trying to both discredit Protandim and its parent company LifeVantage, and to synthetically mimic Protandim’s natural synergy.
Don’t fall for their insidious attacks. If you want to find the real ‘scams’ being foisted upon the public, investigate what you don’t know about Senate Bill S510, the ties between our legislators & Monsanto, the Supreme Court, the FDA, the FTC & the Global Pharmaceutical Cartel.
Keep yourselves informed, scrutinize conventional medical advice, seek out alternative opinions, holistic docs & non-invasive physical, emotional & energetic therapies.
I believe Protandim will both diminish & prevent an immense amount of suffering in the world, revolutionizing health-care in the process. I believe it will change the way we live, heal & age.
See if you agree.

Protandim:

“Normally, oxidative stress (…) increases with age. But in doctor McCord’s tests, taking just one pill of Protandim a day, reversed that trend for everyone at every age — even for an 80 year old.” — John Quinones, ABC PrimeTime Live
“They all [clinical test subjects] are reduced to the level of oxidative stress that one would expect, frankly, in a newborn, or a very young child.” [ http://abcliveit.com/ ]
“The immediate benefits of Protandim are, within several days the biochemical markers of oxidative stress begin to decrease; and while these are immediate improvements you may not sense that these things are happening — just as you can’t sense what your cholesterol level is, if it’s high or low — nonetheless these benefits start happening within days of taking Protandim.”
“The anti-aging aspect of Protandim is one that accumulates over time, so the longer you take it, the more protection you will sustain.”
– Dr. Joseph McCord, Researcher & LifeVantage Chief Scientist
An interesting note is this ‘Primetime Live’ segment was initially intended to ‘debunk’ Protandim as just another supplement hoax — but when the lab results came back confirming it does exactly what it’s supposed to do, ‘Primetime’ quickly reversed its premise.

Glutathione:


“Most serious chronic diseases are associated with low levels of Glutathione.” — Dr. David Katz [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrOG01GDtY0&feature=player_embedded ]
“A new peer-reviewed study (‘Free Radical Biology & Medicine’) clearly demonstrates that Protandim produces a 300% increase in Glutathione.”

“Uncontrolled oxidation reactions damage the components of the cells and can eventually kill the cells themselves.

Dr. David Perlmutter is a neurologist on LifeVantage’s scientific advisory board. The following text is edited from this video’s YT page: [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KWuOezgVHdI ]
“Dr Perlmutter prescribes LifeVantage’s Protandim for virtually all of his patients. This is an endorsement from one of the top Neurologists in the world. Dr. Perlmutter’s video shows the use of intravenous Glutathione in Parkinson’s disease patients at the Perlmutter Health Center, Naples, Florida
“The video shows a noticeable but temporary improvement that you can see in each patient after IV Glutathione. The hope is that the use of a product called Protandim, which has been clinically proven to up-regulate Glutathione production in our bodies by 300% (24/7/365) as long as people take “Other up-regulated antioxidant enzymes activated by Protandim include SOD & CAT along with a number of anti-inflamitory, anti-fibrotic benefits.“

Cancer:

“This [new research] paper says: ‘Activating Nrf2 actually sensitizes the tumors to radiation and to chemo (…) and the other part of that [study] is just as important: ‘Nrf2 ‘activators are chemo-protectors and radio-protectors for normal organs’. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2VU-POhII&feature=player_embedded ]
“So imposing a Nrf2 activator changes the way that tumors and normal tissues respond to radiation & it does it in the best possible way: it makes the radiation more effective at eliminating the tumor, and less effective at causing damage to the rest of your body.”
– Dr. Joe McCord, Chief Scientist & Researcher, LifeVantage
- – - – -
The following is text from cancertutor.com, an alternative protocol website:
“TREATMENT RATING: Protandim is the most effective product on earth to minimize and neutralize the side-effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
“Much of the damage done by orthodox cancer treatments are from oxidation. Protandim is one millions times more effective as an anti-oxidant than normal anti-oxidants.
“While much of the damage done by chemotherapy and radiation is oxidative in nature, some of the damage is permanent damage and cannot be helped by Protandim. But overall, Protandim will greatly and quickly deal with several of the key side-effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
“In addition, studies have shown that antioxidants, taken during chemotherapy, increase survival rates. Since chemotherapy does far more harm than good, it is easy to see how neutralizing its oxidation affects can increase survival rates.
“Protandim is strongly recommended as an adjunct protocol for any cancer treatment. The exception is for those who are taking the Cellect-Budwig protocol. The researchers of these protocols feel that Protandim, because it is an herbal product, will interfere with the way the Cellect and Budwig work.
“Cancer researchers strongly suspect that Protandim can revert many cancer cells into normal cells because of its herbal formula (though this is not why Protandim was formulated the way that it was). There is very strong evidence to support this belief.
“In fact I personally consider Protandim to be a major treatment for the cancer itself. Vendors are not allowed to make such statements, and in fact most people who sell Protandim have no clue it is a cancer treatment since they are only taught about its anti-oxidant capabilities.”
