In this discussion, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, MIT PhD, the Inventor of Email, reveals the three key quantitative measures to determine if a supplement works. This discussion is motivated by a new journal paper that Dr. SHIVA and his team just published on assessing efficacy of supplements. Dr. SHIVA is committed to education and innovation as he believes these two elements are critical for human advancement.
The original research in this video is made possible by generous contributions from supporters of the Dr.SHIVA Truth Freedom Health® movement. Please contribute so we may continue to bring you such original research, valuable education, and innovative solutions.
KEY POINTS:
- There is a real need to understand how supplements work or do not work and how to know which supplements are working as more and more people start taking them.
- Supplements are measured by three key principles, which are antagonistic, additive, and synergistic. This is used to understand what ingredients are actually doing to you and how to assess if a supplement works.
- The recently published paper, In Silico Modeling and Quantification of Synergistic Effects of Multi Combination Compounds: Case Study of the Attenuation of Joint Pain Using a Combination of Phytonutrients, used CytoSolve® to validate how we determine additive, antagonistic, or synergistic measures.
- Truth Freedom Health® are Systems Principles that you can start understanding so you do not get bamboozled by the Left & the Right, Pro & Anti, Big Vitamin or Big Pharma.
There is a real need to understand how supplements work or do not work and how to know which supplements are working as more and more people start taking them.
The supplement industry, or Big Vitamin, is heading toward a multi-trillion dollar industry, if not already there. Many of the people recommending supplements have no training in science, engineering, chemistry, or biology, so there’s a lot of confusion out there.
In most videos, the concept when looking at supplements is, “take this, it’s going to affect that,” however, no one is talking about that you are taking all of these supplements, what are they actually doing? Do they even work anymore?
Supplements are measured by three key principles, which are antagonistic, additive, and synergistic. This is used to understand what ingredients are actually doing to you and how to assess if a supplement works.
Your body is a big chemical refinery. On one fundamental level, everything you consume goes through a process of conversion. That process takes the stuff that you eat, takes nutrients that you need, and distributes those nutrients all throughout your body. These nutrients affect different pathways, molecular pathways, and these pathways are chemical reactions.
When you combine things in your body, they can have an antagonistic effect, an additive effect, or they can have a synergistic effect.
What is the concept of antagonistic? Consider taking vitamin X and vitamin Y and putting them together. If the effects of vitamin X alone increases, but when taken with vitamin Y, it decreases, that is antagonistic. In other words, one plus one equals zero. You are losing value when combining certain supplements, such as when combining arginine and caffeine.
What is the concept of additive? Your body has measures and all of the supplements that you are eating lowers or increases things. In other words, one plus one equals two.
What is synergistic? Certain supplement combinations have something different and are part of a big orchestra, they hit different components in the body. This means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, one plus one equals 10.
The recently published paper, In Silico Modeling and Quantification of Synergistic Effects of Multi Combination Compounds: Case Study of the Attenuation of Joint Pain Using a Combination of Phytonutrients, used CytoSolve® to validate how we determine additive, antagonistic, or synergistic measures.
The reason for writing this paper is because there is a real need to really understand how supplements work or not work. We have a peer-reviewed paper in a high impact journal that validates how we determine additive, antagonistic, or synergistic measures.
A couple of years ago we said, “Hey, why don’t we look at all the bioflavonoids in nature, find out which ones we could combine that lowers what we call pain and discomfort and the molecular pathways specifically, that are attributed to pain and inflammation.”
As a result, we created a product called mv25™, which is a combination of bioflavonoids. This paper is important because we now have a quantum methodology to quantify how much, and we took that methodology and we applied it to the mv25™.
We used CytoSolve® to measure the five biomarker variables involved in joint pain and inflammation in your body and found, given the input of this combination, four of the five chemicals had synergistic effects. One of the chemicals had an added effect.
Truth Freedom Health® are Systems Principles that you can start understanding so you do not get bamboozled by the Left & the Right, Pro & Anti, Big Vitamin or Big Pharma.
Truth Freedom Health® itself is a scientific system. As many of you know, there is a ton of information out there. There’s so many different supplements and tons of videos. Just because you have lots of information, does not mean the world is going to get any better.
The Truth Freedom Health® movement is the only movement on the planet that has recognized that we need to integrate Truth Freedom Health®. We need to do that because Truth Freedom Health® are Systems Principles.
The Big Vitamin and Big Pharma guys want you to live in a world of ignorance, but with the lens of ignorance, you get to illusion, you get to collusion, you get desperate, you suddenly buy this or that or you get divided into left of right or pro this anti this pro diet anti this diet, you get complacent. This is the world of power, profit, and control.
From a Systems Approach, the only way the world is going to change is from you by raising your consciousness. Overcome your own complacency and recognize that you need knowledge, which is the Science of Systems so that information through knowledge becomes wisdom and clarity.
It’s time we move beyond the Left vs. Right, Republican vs. Democrat. It’s time YOU learn how to apply a systems approach to get the Truth Freedom Health® you need and deserve. Become a Truth Freedom Health® Warrior.
Join the VASHIVA® community – an integrated EDUCATIONAL, COMMUNICATIONS – independent of Big Tech -, and LOCAL ACTIVISM platform to empower YOU to actualize Truth Freedom Health® in your local communities by employing a SYSTEMS APPROACH.
The platform we are building for Truth Freedom Health® provides the infrastructure to take on Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Academia. Many of you have asked how you can help. You can contribute whatever you can. Based on your level of commitment to get educated, I have also created some wonderful educational gifts to thank you for your contribution.
To get the education you need and deserve, join Dr.SHIVA on his Foundations of Systems™ course. This course will provide you three pillars of knowledge with the Foundation of Systems™ Thinking. The three pillars include: 1) The System Dynamics of Truth Freedom Health® 2) The Power of a Bottom’s Up Movement, and 3) The Not So Obvious Establishment. In this course, you will also learn fundamental principles of all systems including your body.
Course registration includes access to his LIVE Monday training, access to the Your Body, Your System® tool, four (4) eBooks including the bestselling System and Revolution, access to the Systems Health® portal and communications tools – independent of Big Tech – including a forum and social media for you to build community with other Truth Freedom Health® Warriors.
This course is available online for you to study at your own pace.
