Galvanic Spa Erases Signs of Scars from Burns

Looking good is not just a matter of what you apply on the surface of your body; good looks come from within. The key to good complexion is the skin's ability to absorb nutrients. A recent third party laboratory study measured the ability of the Galvanic Spa II to help skin care ingredients penetrate skin.

Results showed that Nu Skin's Galvanic Spa System II treatment makes the skin 70% more receptive to skin care products

An accident occurred to me while cooking a few years ago. My face was scalded. The first layer of my skin was burnt and I was admitted to the hospital for medical treatment. After my skin wounds have been completely healed with medical treatment, my doctors discharged me but my skin coloration was still not ideal. I was extremely worried about the scars on my face. Therefore, I tried many methods for scar removal but none of them seemed to work.

Several years later after the incident, I started using Galvanic Spa System II on my face and the condition of my skin improved and looked better since then. Galvanic Spa System II has helped to increase my skin moisture and reduce wrinkles. My skin tone and smoothness have also improved. Thank you Nu Skin for Galvanic Spa System II – the great innovative product which makes my skin smoother and healthier!

100 Year Old Celebrates Birthday And Credits Nu Skin For Her Youthful Looks



By Jewell Cardwell
Beacon Journal writer
Friday, July 10, 2009


Mary Elizabeth (Bricker) Fairchild — who was selected ''May Queen'' back in the day when she was a student at Akron's Central High School — still flashes the smile that scored her that long-ago title.

Indeed, the neatly coiffed Mrs. Fairchild, who turned 100 Thursday, has much to be grateful for and smile about.

Amazingly, the Cuyahoga Falls Cardinal Retirement Village resident, who still covets her independence, lives in an assisted-living apartment.

Mrs. Fairchild was born July 9, 1909, in Barberton and moved to Akron a few weeks later. Teddy Roosevelt was president.

Always physically active, she excelled at basketball in high school. ''I'm not sure. But I imagine I played right guard,'' the nattily dressed widow said, recalling the streetcars she had to take to get to the practices.

Asked how it came to pass that she was tapped as the school's May Queen, the modest and humorous Mrs. Fairchild quipped, ''I guess they were running out of people.''

Mark Corley of Akron, Mrs. Fairchild's devoted son-in-law, lovingly refers to her as ''the mentor to our whole family'' and marvels at her zest for life.

''Mom lived independently until 1999 until she had a slip and fall, breaking a hip,'' Corley said. Subsequently she broke the other hip.

Mrs. Fairchild — who formerly enjoyed playing golf, reading and playing cards, especially bridge — is an avid CNN watcher. That's how she stays up on current events.

She's always been a news buff. In fact, she remembers like it was yesterday hearing President Franklin Roosevelt's famous ''Day of Infamy'' radio address on Dec. 8, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The most memorable news event in her book is when the U.S. put a man on the moon.

In addition to volunteering for many years at several hospitals, Mrs. Fairchild clocked 32 years as an American Red Cross volunteer, doing everything from telephone answering to personal wound care.

Her son-in-law is so effusive with praise for his mother-in-law's new home that he insists he's even considering putting himself on a waiting list there.

The petite Mary Fairchild, who still eats what she wants (especially waffles and crispy bacon) is a fashionista in every sense of the word.

Her favorite perfume is the upscale Shalimar. ''I've been wearing that fragrance since I was 17,'' Mrs. Fairchild reminisced.

At 100, she not only likes to smell good, she also likes to look good.

She credits her decidedly younger-than- her-years appearance to Nu Skin, a skincare line she has used for many years.

And she always keeps her weekly hair and manicure appointments whether she needs them or not.

The Secret to a Youthful You

Hormones produced within your body has a profound influence on on the function of your skin and its appearance. Intracellular communication is dependent on the level of hormones circulating in the body fluids and their interaction with specific receptors anchored in the cell membrane.

Ethocyn, the key ingredient in Tru Face Essence Ultra, blocks what causes fibroblast skin cells to stop producing elastin -- the important youth-rendering skin's rubber bands when we are young.

I am currently in my 40's. I normally apply 2 capsules of Tru Face Essence Ultra every day especially on the wrinkled areas, age-spots and eyelids.

Long before I came across this essence, people suggested that I go under a knife. there are always risks with plastic surgery so I decided to try this Nu Skin product instead. The results have been incredible -- my complexion has improved and pores minized plus my skin is so much softer.

Now I go out with confidence.

The Obesity Pandemic

An epidemic of overweight/ obesity and type-2 diabetes, caused by overeating nutrient-poor, energy-dense food and a sedentary lifestyle, is spreading rapidly throughout the world. Abdominal obesity represents a serious threat to health because it increases the risk of developing many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Mr. WALONGKORN BOONYATEERANA, 45 years, Thailand

After I completed the TRA program, there were many changes associated with my body. Besides decreasing my body weight by 17 kg, I also won good health. My joint pain has completely disappeared and I do not have to worry about diabetes and hypertension anymore. And that's not all -- most importantly, I look so lean and fit and handsome now!

Ms. MICHELLE-FAITH ONG, 34 years, Businesswoman, Singapore

Initially, I thought it was just another slimming program but TRA really took care of my phsiological and phsychological needs. I have gotten back my youth, vitality, and most importantly, my health!

The sun makes you look 7 years older

Did you know?

The sun accelerates aging of the skin. Protecting your skin from the sun helps prevent premature aging. Without protection from the sun's rays, just a few minutes of exposure each day can make you look 7 years older.


Ms. NIRAPORN KAEWTIPPAYANET,
36 years,
Thailand


During my younger days, I had so many problems with my skin. For example, acne, wide pores, and puffy eyes. One day in 1999, my friend introduced me to use Nu Skin products and my skin has improved ever since. When I turned 30, I started to search for a product that could keep me looking young and I found that the 180 Anti-aging Skin Therapy System was the answer. I have been using the 180 System for many years, and I am very happy with the results. In addition, people have been asking me the secret to my youthful looks!

I believe that the 180 System will not only make you look younger by making your skin more radiant, but will also make you feel more confident about yourself and your appearance.

I believe that image is important, especially for women and I think that the 180 System is the best solution in the market to make people look younger, and become more confident. This is why I love 180 Anti-Aging Skin Therapy System so much!

Sagging skin

Mr. CHUA HUI SIA, 46 years, Businessman, Singapore

This is such a fantastic product! In just 2 months of use, it has not only made my skin firmer and more toned, it has also lightened the lines and wrinkles around the corners of my eyes and lips! Even people around me noticed the difference!

Ms. MARCELLA TANZIL, 35 years, Businesswoman, Indonesia

I have been using Nu Skin 180 System daily and Galvanic Spa weekly. I started using Tru Face Essence two times a day. Nutricentials as basic treatment, and spa treatment with Galvanic Spa once a day on 22 October 2008.

After 2 weeks of using Tru Face Essence, I found significant improvements in my skin complexion. My VISIA results showed that the unevenness had decreased from 133 to 97 and the number of pores had reduced from 79 to 69. With Tru Face Essence, I can see the difference.

Thank you Nu Skin!

Do you know Lutein and Zeaxanthin? How about g3?

The Journal of the American Medical Association presented a study in November 1994 by Dr. J.M. Seddon in which investigators at 5 U.S. eye centers examined the role of carotenoids in preventing macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a major cause of blindness today and occurs when the macula (the place on the retina where light focuses) deteriorates. Nearly a thousand patients and controls were studied and the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin were found to give the most protection against macular degeneration. Zeaxanthin was found to block the activity of the peroxide radicals and consequently protect cell membranes from this and other free radical damage. Wolfberries, or Chinese lycium, contains 800 mcg/gFW zeaxanthin, which is about 40 times more than yellow corn!

FATIMA (CELINE & MONICA), Housewife, Indonesia

I have two daughters: Celine (6.5 years) and Monica (2.5 years). The cylindrical powers of Celine's left and right eyes were -5.50 D, and those of Monica's were -3.00 D plus. Since April 2007, Celine has been consuming g3 at 40 ml a day, and Monica did so too at 30 ml a day. In July 2007, I took Celine and Monica to the doctor for an ophthalmic examination, but it was later found that Celine's cylindrical powers were down to -4.50 D and Monica's cylindrical powers were down to -2.00 D.

Before g3, Celine was very vulnerable to cough. After consuming g3, she was no longer vulnerable to cough and her carotenoid score had increased steadily. When she was scanned for the first time in March 9, 2007, her score was 15,000. Five months after, Celine's antioxidant score had increased to 32,000. g3 is amazing!!!





Ms. VUNTANEE LOYPRASERT, 64 years, Banker, Thailand

I used to have eye problems such as dry eyes and high eye pressure. But after taking g3, all my problems were gone, especially my dry eye problem. That improved the most. I no longer need to use artificials tears anymore.

"Nu Skin is definitely GREAT!"

EKA SINTA SANTOSA, 57 years, Businesswoman, Indonesia

Before using Nu Skin 180 Anti-aging Skin Therapy System, I had visible pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. My complexion was dull and sallow. For me, this product is very special because in 2-3 days, I could see great results. My complexion became brighter, firmer, and seemed to glow. After 2 weeks of use, I could see that my overall skin texture had improved, smoothened, and my pores were smaller.

I used to put on heavy make-up. Now I don't have to use foundation anymore as my complexion is brighter and has a natural glow. I didn't notice this initially until my daughter remarked that my pores were no longer visible and my skin looked smoother.

I am very happy now because I don't have to carry out complicated, skin care routine unlike before. I don't even have to use foundation as just some loose powder after moisturizing is enough to complete my make-up regimen.

Nu Skin 180 is very easy to use but its effects are amazing. Now I don't need foundation or heavy make-up to cover up as my skin is now brighter and could glow naturally.

Ms. AGNES IMAYANTI, 62 years, Businesswoman, Indonesia

I have been using Nu Skin products for more than 2 years. Previously, I have used other brands of skin care products but the results were disappointing. They did not solve my aging skin problem.

The first anti-aging product from Nu Skin that I used was the 180 System and I am very satisfied with the results. When I combined Tru Face Essence with the 180 System, I found the results incredible! My skin became firmer, more supple and moist. Everyone told me that I look much younger than my biological age. They couldn't believe that I am 62 years old.

I feel so blessed to be able to use Nu Skin products. My dreams to have younger skin have been fulfilled. Nu Skin in definitely GREAT!

Live Better, Longer

WEDDY PRAYUDHA, 39 years,
Events Organizer, Indonesia

I've had a long health history. When I was a kid, I had tumor surgery on my left arm. Then, I had another tumor surgery on my left parotid gland near my neck. When I started working in 1994, visits to the doctor became my monthly ritual. I easily contracted flu and colds every time I'm too exhausted. Not to mention the allergic rhinitis that I had since high school due to my hobby of riding a motorcycle without using a chest protector.

I started consuming health supplements in 1995, but it wasn't done routinely. Normally, I just took it when I had to work harder than my usual routine. In 2000, I switched to another food supplement which I consumed regularly. However, I was so disappointed to find out when consulting with a nutritionist that what was claimed by that supplement label was not reflected by my health status.

I came to know about the antioxidant concept from health magazines. Nevertheless, only after witnessing an antioxidant demonstration when I was first introduced to LifePak in August 2005, then I accepted the logic and explanation. I searched as much information as I could about LifePak from the Pharmanex websites as well as brochures.

Through the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner in October 2005, I found out that my score was only 18,000! Where have all the supplements that I had taken gone? That answered my question why I still fall sick so easily. Immediately, I made a decision to consume LifePak.

In December 2005, my score increased to 35,000. In the following month, I added MarineOmega into my daily menu and my score reached 41,000 in January 2006.

After 10 months of consuming LifePak together with MarineOmega and Tegreen97, I rarely fell sick and feel more energetic. Now I'm healthier and more productive.

LIU SURYANI, 41 years, Businesswoman, Indonesia

I came to know about LifePak in 2004. At that time, I was not interested in consuming LifePak because the product is marketed under MLM scheme and I did not believe in any MLM companies. Not until I got a LifePak from my sibling in June 2005, my husband -- a physician -- and I began to seek information about LifePak and its manufacturer, Pharmanex. We searched such information at websites. Once we knew about the integrity of Pharmanex and various scientific researches that support the products and not to mention that LifePak had been registered under the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR). We soon believed it and started consuming it.

Since August 2005, I joined Nu Skin, and it just took me a couple of months to become an Executive. The BioPhotonic Scanner is a device that encouraged me to be engaged in this business. The first time I was scanned using the BioPhotonic Scanner in July 2005, my antioxidant score was just 36,000. After consuming LifePak and going through a balanced diet (consuming more vegetables and fruits) in December 2005, my antioxidant score drastically increased to 55,000.

Shortly, after MarineOmega and Tegreen were available in Indonesia, I started consuming these two products. In February 2006 my antioxidant score reached 63,000. Incredible!

Your Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) is an immediate numberic reading of your own skin carotenoid content and an important indicator of the overall strength of your body's antioxdant defense system.

Discover the "Spa at Home" alternative





Ms. SIM YEE BOON,
40 years,
Self-Employed,
Singapore



I have always been conscious about my flabby arms and thus I have never worn sleeveless tops. When I learned about the wonders of Nu Skin Galvanic Spa II that it can work for the body, I used it on my left arm so that I could make a comparison to my right. In just 8 minutes, I could see significant results! Not only can it remove excessive fluid through the lympathic system, it can also reduce cellulite! These amazing results gave me greater confidence towards the Galvanic Spa and I need not spend thousands of dollars to visit day spas to shape up my body! I can use Galvanic Spa at the comfort of my own home and anywhere else to look good and healthy!

"I' so happy I've gotten my figure back... Thank you Nu Skin!"

Mrs. ANCHASA JAIPRASIT, 35 years, Homemaker, Thailand

I am a mother of 4 children. I usually don't believe in slimming products. Previously, I had tried many products but they did not work well. Until I met Mr. Rungroj Viriyachon (Blue Diamond executive) who recommended me to use Galvanic Spa System II with Body Shaping Gel, and together with Dermattc Effects body contouring lotion. I decided to try these products and record my feelings and results by taking photos of my tummy. While using the Galvanic Spa System, I could feel the difference just after the first treatment. 

I have been doing Galvanic treatment continuously for 12 weeks and now my waist has been reduced from 83.5 cm to 76 cm. In addition, the rough skin on my tummy has diminished. I really have to thank Mr. Rungroj and Nu Skin for helping me regain my figure and confidence.

Pharmanex Recognized for Scientific Achievements in Key Nutrition and Health Categories


PR Newswire

06.15.04, 11:20 AM ET


The Company Makes Important Strides in the Areas of Antioxidant Protection, Aerobic Performance and Endurance, Liver Protection and Breast Cell Health

PROVO, Utah, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pharmanex, a Nu Skin Enterprises Company (NYSE: NUS), announced today that company scientists have made significant advancements in several nutritional health categories. Independent scientific associations and journals recently recognized these scientific achievements by inviting Pharmanex scientists to present their findings and by publishing its research. Leading research organizations have also independently tested Pharmanex products in their studies and found positive results. 

"The Pharmanex research and development team is keeping us at the forefront in scientific advancement in the nutritional supplement category," said Truman Hunt, CEO and president of Nu Skin Enterprises, parent company to Pharmanex. "We are pleased to be recognized for our scientific achievement in the nutritional supplement industry. Our commitment to scientifically measuring the safety and efficacy of our nutritional products is setting the standard in the industry and helping people to live better, longer." 

During the first part of 2004, Pharmanex has been recognized for its scientific efforts in antioxidant protection, aerobic performance and endurance and liver protection. Independent researchers also conducted a study on the Pharmanex product ReishiMax(R) in relation to breast cell health. 


Antioxidant Protection -- Pharmanex(R) BioPhotonic Scanner 

A paper titled "Nutritional Significance and Measurement of Carotenoids," written by Carsten Smidt, Ph.D., vice president of Pharmanex research and development, was published in the May 2004 edition of the peer-reviewed journal Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research (CTNR). This paper reviews the nutritional aspects of carotenoids, their role as important antioxidants, their role in eye, skin, prostate and cardiovascular health and the methods used to determine carotenoid intake and nutritional status-including use of the Pharmanex(R) BioPhotonic Scanner, which non-invasively measures carotenoids in human skin. 

In addition to this paper, a recent study, "Adiposity Negatively Influences Carotenoids and Antioxidant Status in Overweight Individuals," was presented by the Rippe Lifestyle Institute, Shrewsbury, MA, at the National Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine. The study shows that both body weight and adiposity are negatively correlated with skin carotenoids as measured using the Pharmanex(R) BioPhotonic Scanner. 

Dr. Smidt also gave an oral presentation on the Pharmanex(R) BioPhotonic Scanner at the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutritional Sciences at Experimental Biology 2004, which took place April 17 - 21, 2004 in Washington D.C. The study, "Non-invasive Raman spectroscopy measurement of human carotenoid status," found that the BioPhotonic Scanner measurement had a high correlation with blood serum carotenoid levels providing further validation of the instrument (FASEB J 18(4):A480, 2004.). 


Aerobic Performance and Endurance 

Pharmanex researchers were invited to present a study at Experimental Biology 2004 showing that a proprietary extract of the cordyceps mushroom called CordyMax(R) Cs-4(R) may improve oxygen capacity for aerobic exercise and endurance in mid-age to elderly, sedentary humans. This study, selected from a pool of nearly 10,000 applications, has been highlighted by the American Physiological Society (APS) at their annual scientific conference, Experimental Biology 2004, held April 17 - 21, 2004, in Washington, D.C. To view the press release sent out by the American Physiological Society on this study go to
http://www.the-aps.org/press/conference/eb04/4.htm 

The study, "CordyMax enhances aerobic capability and metabolism, and endurance performance in healthy, mid-age to elderly sedentary humans," found that the subjects taking CordyMax(R) Cs-4(R) improved significantly in aerobic exercise capacity, physical strength for aerobic exercise, endurance performance and exercise metabolism over the placebo group (FASEB J 18(5): A931, 2004.). 


Liver Protection 

In another study presented at Experimental Biology 2004, Pharmanex scientists examined the effect of ReishiMax(R), a proprietary extract of the reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), on liver function. The study, "ReishiMax protects liver and improves liver functions in an experimental hepatitis model," found that oral supplementation of ReishiMax(R) mitigates liver necrosis and fibrosis and improves liver function (FASEB J 18(5): A999, 2004.). 

Pharmanex Scientists presented a similar study at the annual meeting of the American Gastroenterology Association called Digestive Disease Week. The study, "Reduced Liver Necrosis and Fibrosis and Improved Liver Functions in a CCL4-Induced Hepatitis Model by ReishiMax(R) Supplementation," was also published in the May 2004 edition of Gastroenterology. 


Breast Cell Health 

Independent Research 

Researchers from Indiana University, the Methodist Research Institute and Purdue University performed a study comparing the biological activity of several reishi mushroom supplements (Ganoderma lucidum), including the Pharmanex(R) product ReishiMax(R), to determine ability to inhibit certain factors of highly invasive breast and prostate cancer cells. The study, "Biologic Activity of Spores and Dried Powder from Ganoderma lucidum for the Inhibition of Highly Invasive Human Breast and Prostate Cancer Cells," found that ReishiMax(R) had the most potent inhibition against breast and prostate cancer cell proliferation amongst all the samples. The article states, "Interestingly, the sample containing powdered extract with spores [ReishiMax(R)] was the most potent in inhibiting migration (99%)." 

The authors also noted that ReishiMax(R) was the only reishi product to identify standardized active constituents, and suggested that, "the difference in potency to inhibit cancer cells of the different samples of Ganoderma lucidum can be the result of variation in the concentration of the active ingredients." Lastly, the authors showed that cracking spores by mechanistic disruption (as with ReishiMax(R)), increased activity by releasing biologically active components. This study was published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Volume 9, Number 4, 2003, pp.491-497. 

In a follow-up study on ReishiMax(R), researchers from the University of Indiana and the Methodist Research Institute found that ReishiMax(R) may contribute to reducing invasion and metastasis of breast cancers by inhibiting cancer cell adhesion, cell migration, and growth of cancer cells. The study also showed that reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) could have preventive effects against secondary metastases, which are responsible for the high mortality of breast cancer. The study, "Ganoderma lucidum inhibits invasiveness of breast cancer cells," was published in the Journal of Cancer Integrative Medicine, 2004, Vol. 2, No. 1. 

According to Joseph Chang, Ph.D., president of Pharmanex, "The results of these studies validate the efficacy of our products. With over 75 full-time scientists on staff and advisory relationships with leading researchers and universities, Pharmanex continues to build a body of knowledge in key nutritional and health categories."
