AIM CellWellness 4 Pack Product Information
Lifestyle has a direct impact on the overall quality
of our lives. Therapeutic baths or spas
have a long history of enhancing our lifestyle
and benefiting both our physical health and
mental attitude. Indeed, it has long been
thought that water has healing properties.
Water coupled with minerals as in mineral baths
or natural hot springs has been used throughout
history to treat various ailments, specifically
degenerative diseases. AIM Cell Wellness
Restorer™ is a unique and natural bath additive
that brings you the benefits of mineral spas.
Mineral baths
According to archaeological evidence, balneology—
using natural mineral waters for the
treatment of disease—has been with us for
more than 5,000 years. The Greeks and
Romans used water and bathing as therapeutic
tools. And it was the Romans who recognized
the value of natural hot springs and developed
elaborate aqueducts for transporting water from
remote sources to bath complexes.
Several kinds of therapeutic baths are still recommended,
including hot baths for pain relief and sleep,
cold baths for fever, and kinetotherapeutic baths for
damaged muscles, most notably from conditions such as
polio, a viral disease that chiefly affects children and
can result in muscular atrophy. Medicated baths, such
as with Epsom salts to relieve inflammation, are common,
and alkaline baths are promoted as being helpful
in the treatment of arthritic conditions.
The efficacy of mineral baths and the therapeutic
effects of soaking in mineral water can only be taken
from a historical overview as no published scientific
research could be found to prove or disprove these
claims. However, the value of mineral baths is evidenced
by the worldwide growth of the spa industry.
Stress
All of us have experienced stress and the effects of
stress in our daily lives. In fact, we often talk about being
“stressed out.” Stress impacts every aspect of our lives,
and for many of us, some stressors are those over which
we have little or no control. Stressors are demands made
upon the body and include physical and environmental
factors, such as pollution, temperature extremes, and
trauma; physiological factors, such as nutritional
imbalance, gender, age, pain, lack of sleep, and
chronic infections; and mental factors, such as
emotional strain, anxiety, and depression.
When stressed, the body behaves as if it is
under attack. Physiological changes, including
increased heartbeat, blood pressure,
blood glucose, and secretion of adrenaline,
as well as sweating, occur. This is known as
the fight-or-flight reaction.
Hans Selye, an endocrinologist considered
to be the father of modern stress
research, showed that certain physical illnesses
could develop as a result of the body’s
inability to cope with stress (Selye 1978).
Current thinking suggests that stress contributes
to cardiovascular disease, digestive
disorders, mental disorders, cancers, and
metabolic disease.
In 1975, Selye said, “For each of us, we
must gauge our stress carefully and know
when and how to retreat from breaking
point.” And most of us do develop patterns
for coping with our stressors, including eating, sleeping,
emotional outbursts, and so forth. However, most of
these methods do not support good health.
Some positive methods for helping to cope with
stress and stressful conditions include relaxation techniques
and lifestyle changes, such as increased exercise
or activity, dietary changes, and supplementation.
AIM Cell Wellness Restorer™
AIM Cell Wellness Restorer™ is a unique and natural
bath additive. It may help you cope with stress in two
ways—first, by promoting relaxation when used in a
bath or spa and second, by supplementing magnesium,
which supports DHEA production, to combat stress
and its negative affects.
AIM Cell Wellness Restorer™ is desalinated seawater
that has undergone processing to concentrate minerals that
are essential for the functioning of body cells. The concentrate
is enhanced by the addition of unique crystals.
The experiences of thousands of AIM Members with
AIM Cell Wellness Restorer™ indicate that it provides a
wide range of benefits.
Magnesium
Although it represents only 0.05 percent of body
weight, magnesium is an essential macromineral.
Magnesium is necessary for many metabolic functions
in the body, including the production and transfer of
energy at the cellular level, the contraction and relaxation
of muscles, the conduction of nerve impulses, and
the synthesis of protein.
Magnesium, like calcium, is an earth alkali mineral.
About 65 percent of the body’s magnesium is stored in
the bones and teeth. The remaining 35 percent is contained
in the blood, fluids, and tissues. Significant
amounts of magnesium are present in the heart.
It is estimated that 72 percent of Americans are magnesium-
deficient, and the Gallup Survey identified that
consumers are largely unaware of the importance of
magnesium. Magnesium consumption seems to
decrease with age; therefore, deficiency becomes a particular
problem for the elderly. Hard water can be a
valuable source of magnesium.
Magnesium deficiency
Dietary imbalances in Western society have contributed
to magnesium deficiency. The high intake of
fats and refined foods and the consumption of soft
water, alcohol, caffeine, and excess sugar are all linked
to a deficiency of available magnesium. Diuretics,
antibiotics, chemotherapy, and immunosuppressive
drugs increase the risk of magnesium deficiency.
New research indicates prolonged magnesium deficiency
leads to osteoporosis in rats. (Journal of the
American College of Nutrition, vol. 23, no. 6, 2004.) In
humans, osteoporosis affects nearly 30 million people
(predominantly women) worldwide.
The early symptoms of magnesium deficiency
include fatigue, anorexia, insomnia, and muscle twitching.
Psychological changes include decreased learning
ability, poor memory, and apprehension.
Studies indicate that angina symptoms are more
common with deficient magnesium levels. Diabetics
are commonly magnesium-deficient, and it is thought
that magnesium deficiency accounts for hypokalemia
(too little potassium in the blood), hypocalcemia (too
little calcium in the blood), and cardiovascular complications.
When magnesium deficiency exists, stress paradoxically
increases the risk of cardiovascular damage
(Seelig 1994). Magnesium deficiency therefore intensifies
the adverse reactions to stress, which can have lifethreatening
outcomes. There is suggestive evidence
that magnesium deficiency contributes to sudden cardiac
death.
Benefits of magnesium
A multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized
study on the preventive properties of magnesium
for migraine found that high doses of magnesium were
effective (Peikert 1996). Several studies have looked at
the efficacy of magnesium with regard to metabolism and
metabolic disorders such as diabetes; studies have shown
that the administration of magnesium to Type II diabetics
tended to reduce insulin resistance. The muscle-relaxing
effects of magnesium also makes it helpful in the
treatment and management of asthma.
DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a naturally
occurring precursor of estrogen and testosterone. It is a
hormone that is present in both men and women.
DHEA levels peak at the age of 20 and decrease progressively
with advancing age. Meaningful levels of
DHEA do not appear in foods. And it is thought that
certain people do not synthesize enough DHEA.
DHEA plays a role in the immune system. Low levels
of DHEA are associated with ill health (Inlander
1998). Ongoing current research (Casson 2000) indicates
that supplementation with DHEA shows significant
improvement in functioning of the reproductive
system, cardiovascular system, and metabolism. DHEA
appears to increase muscle strength and lean body mass,
activate the immune system, and enhance the subjective
quality of life.
Effects of reduced DHEA levels
Although DHEA is the most abundant hormone in
the body, there is significant decline in levels after the
age of 20 to 30 years. By the age of 65, output drops to 10
to 20 percent of optimum levels. Prolonged periods of
stress results in lowered levels of DHEA as DHEA and
cortisol, a hormone produced during the fight-or-flight
reaction, have an inverse and adversarial relationship.
DHEA affects every system, organ, and tissue in the
body. Therefore, declining levels of DHEA result in a
multitude of disease profiles. Studies suggest that the
lower a person’s DHEA level, the greater the risk of
death from age-related diseases. Low levels of DHEA
have been associated with Alzheimer’s disease, multiple
sclerosis, and lupus (van Vollenhoven 1995). Certain
cancers, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease
have been associated with low levels of DHEA
(Inlander 1998). Insulin-dependent diabetics are
reported to have low levels of DHEA.
Benefits of increased DHEA levels
Numerous studies have been undertaken to establish
the benefits of DHEA supplementation; however, many
have produced inconclusive results. Published works
relate the value of DHEA in regard to aging, male
reproductive function, and the immune response. A
long-term study of men who had received 50 mg of
DHEA per day demonstrated significant improvement
in all the markers of immune function, including an
average 45 percent increase in monocytes, 29 percent
increase in antibody-making B lymphocytes, and a 20
percent increase in T lymphocytes. DHEA was also
found to increase the production of insulin growth factor-
1 (IGF-1). An uncontrolled study confirmed the
benefit of 50 to 200 mg per day for people with systemic
lupus erythematosus (van Vollenhoven 1998).
DHEA improves the sense of well-being, and
although many of the studies claiming this are anecdotal,
the effect is nonetheless experienced by the persons
concerned.
According to research, DHEA supplementation is
associated with the following:
Reduction in the risk of a fatal cardiac episode
Modulation of the immune response
Improvement in the stress response
Mediation in autoimmune diseases
Improvement in male reproductive function
