The Cells in Your Body

INTRODUCTION

This resource provides you with an introduction to cells.

Everyone’s body is made of the same basic stuff. All living things, large or small, plant or animal, are made up of cells. Most living things are made up of one cell and they are called unicellular organisms. Many other living things are made up of a large number of cells that form a larger plant or animal. These living things are known as multicellular organisms. Water makes up about two thirds of the weight of cells.

Cells are very small; most cells can only be seen through a microscope. Cells are the smallest living units that are capable of reproducing themselves. Each cell in your body was made from an already existing cell. All plants and animals are made up of cells. In this article, we will talk about the cells that make up You.

All the parts of your body are made up of cells. There is no such thing as a typical cell. Your body has many different kinds of cells. Though they might look different under a microscope, most cells have chemical and structural features in common. In humans, there are about 200 different types of cells, and within these cells there are about 20 different types of structures or organelles.

All cells have a membrane. Cell membranes are the outer layers that hold the cell together. They let nutrients pass into the cell and waste products pass out. Not everything can pass through a cell membrane. What gets through and what doesn’t depends on both the size of the particle trying to get in and the size of the opening in the membrane.

Cells also have a nucleus. This is the cell’s control center. Cells continually divide to make more cells for growth and repair in your body. The nucleus contains the information that allows cells to reproduce, or make more cells. Another important part of a cell is the mitochondrion. This is the part of the cell where food and oxygen combine to make energy.

You know that you need air to breathe. It is the oxygen in air that your body really needs. Every cell in your body needs oxygen to help it metabolize (burn) the nutrients released from food for energy. You also know that you need food. Food gives you energy, but oxygen is needed to break down the food into pieces that are small enough for your cells to use This is known as cellular respiration and it is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is chemically trapped for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. Your cells are the energy converters for your body.

Different cells have different jobs to do. Each cell has a size and shape that is suited to its job. Cells that do the same job combine together to form body tissue, such as muscle, skin, or bone tissue. Groups of different types of cells make up the organs in your body, such as your heart, liver, or lungs. Each organ has its own job to do, but all organs work together to maintain your body. A group of different organs working together to do a job makes up a system. All the systems in your body are like members of a team whose job it is to keep you alive and healthy.

The different types of cells in your body have different, specialized jobs to do. The specialization of cells depends almost always on the exaggeration of properties common to cells. For example, cells that line the intestine have extended cell membranes. This increases the amount of surface area that is available to absorb food. Nerve cells can be very long, which makes them efficient in sending signals from the brain to the rest of your body. Cells in heart muscle process a lot of energy, so they have a large number of mitochondrion, the part of the cells where energy is made.

Like all living things, cells die. The number of cells that an adult male loses per minute is roughly 96 million. Fortunately, in that same minute, about 96 million cells divided, replacing those that died. Just as you shed dead skin cells, dead cells from internal organs pass through and out of the body with waste products. The length of a cell’s life can vary. For example, white blood cells live for about thirteen days, cells in the top layer of your skin live about 30 days, red blood cells live for about 120 days, and liver cells live about 18 months.

14 points explaining what ASEA™ is

What is ASEA™

1. ASEA™ is an immune boosting molecular complex consisting of reactive molecules, all native to the human body and naturally balanced. These molecules include a perfect balance of antioxidant enhancers that are balanced to support the immune system, detoxify the body and protect and fortify healthy tissue.

2. What are reactive molecules? Reactive molecules are either active electron acceptors (prone to take on electrons) or electron donors (prone to give up electrons). When these two classes of molecules are chemically balanced in our body, our body is in good health.

3. How do these reactive molecules work? There are two major roles for these reactive molecules in the body. First, they pair up with the natural antioxidants already in our body to help detoxify and fortify healthy tissue. Secondly, they supply the raw materials that the immune system needs in order to perform its natural function to detect and destroy harmful invaders and damaged cells.

4. How much ASEA™ should I take? ASEA™ has been proven to be entirely non-toxic at any reasonable dose. It can be taken orally, applied topically or inhaled without causing irritation. The recommended maintenance amount is 4 oz. per day for adults. ASEA™ is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consult with a physician if you are sensitive to salt intake.

5. Can I apply ASEA™ to my skin, scrapes, cuts, or burns? ASEA™ is a natural disinfectant and antimicrobial and yet is soothing to the touch. ASEA™ can be used in a spray bottle for use on scrapes, burns and abrasions and can be liberally sprayed on the skin and will not cause irritation. ASEA™ contains a very small amount of chlorine. If you are allergic to chlorine, it is not recommended for use on the face. As always, consult a physician if there are any concerns.

6. Is ASEA™ safe? Testing has shown ASEA™ to be entirely safe and non-toxic no matter how it is consumed or applied. It has shown literally zero endotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity (mutagenic properties) in all 16 years of studies that were performed. Consult with a physician if you are sensitive to salt intake.

7. Is ASEA™ safe for pregnant for breastfeeding women? It is not generally recommended that ASEA™ or any nutraceutical supplement be consumed by pregnant or breastfeeding women. No research has been done (or will be done) to show safety for the developing fetus or infant. Due to the native character of the reactive molecules in ASEA™, no toxic reaction is expected if accidentally ingested by breastfeeding mothers. Consult a physician if there are any concerns or questions.

8. Can I drink ASEA™ if I am taking medications? ASEA™ has not shown any negative interactions with any known medications so far. ASEA™ is a native supplement. The body already naturally contains large amounts of the reactive molecules found in ASEA™. Adding more of these reactive molecules is not expected to interfere with the action of any medication. Consult with a physician if there are any concerns or questions. Consult with your physician if you have a condition where you have been told that increased salt intake might affect your blood pressure.

9. Have any clinical trials been conducted on ASEA™? ASEA™ is a nutritional supplement. Besides extensive safety and antimicrobial testing, no other studies have or must be performed. ASEA™ does not claim to mitigate, prevent or cure any disease. ASEA™ simply contains the raw materials that our body and the immune system need to help protect us and defend us. There is extensive evidence, based on studies done on the individual reactive molecules contained in ASEA™, that these reactive molecules are indeed produced and used in large amounts by the body and the immune system. The role that these reactive molecules play in the body is becoming increasingly well understood and is actively being studied all over the world.

10. Is there any research on the benefits of ASEA™? The reactive molecules contained in ASEA™ are being studied world-wide by an ever-growing group of scientists. These reactive molecules have been shown to play a fundamental role in basic body functions, specifically those native to the immune system. Specific expected benefits include: arming the native antioxidants in the body in their fight against stray toxins and oxidants, increasing the nascent oxygen production in the cells, reducing oxidative stress, better efficiency of the immune system mechanisms and then there is the direct disinfectant action for topical applications. Some search words would be “antioxidants” and “oxidative stress”.

11. Is it beneficial to drink ASEA™ along with antioxidants? ASEA™ will significantly enhance the action of the antioxidants already in your body. The reactive molecules in ASEA™ Have been shown to more than double the efficiency of vitamin C in the laboratory. It is recommended that ASEA™ be taken along with the other vitamin supplements that your body needs.

12. Can I take more than the recommended amount of ASEA™? Occasionally taking more than the recommended amount of ASEA™ (two or three times over the recommended amount) will not cause concern. Return to the regular maintenance amount when the condition no longer requires it. Please check with your physician if there is any intolerance to salt (Sodium or Chorine).

13. Why does ASEA™ contain a slight aroma and taste of chlorine? The process that produces ASEA™ produces several compounds that contain Chlorine that are native to the body. This accounts for the slight Chlorine smell and taste. ASEA™ has no added chlorine, it is made from pure water and salt. The slight smell and taste of chlorine comes from a natural form of chlorine created by processing during the creation of the reactive molecules. This form of chlorine is similar to the forms of chlorine created natively in the body during metabolism and immune system function. Unlike the chlorine added to municipal water supplies, this form of chlorine is not irritating, even to the eyes. It helps the body protect healthy cells, is naturally eliminated by enzymes inside your body, and is beneficial. You have several liters of this form of chlorine naturally inside your body, it forms an essential part of your immune system and healing response.

14. What is the difference between ASEA™ and alkaline water? ASEA™ is not alkaline water. ASEA™ is specifically formulated to be a stable form of the native reactive molecules produced by the mitochondria inside every cell in your body. It requires an ultrapure water and sodium chloride solution that undergoes a complex multi-step electrochemical process that requires three or more days in the making. It is much more than a simple electrolysis process; complex chemistry and physics is involved in the production process with tightly controlled production parameters (temperature, concentration, flow, etc.). This specific stable mixture is designed to safely and effectively support the immune system and healing functions.

Let’s start at the beginning

....ASEA (Redox Signaling Molecules) control cell function, they control the maintenance of every cell in every organ in the body of all living organisms.

Let’s start at the beginning.

The human body is made up of somewhere in the range of 100 trillion cells. Within each cell are mitochondria, which are responsible for the creation of energy by way of what is called the Krebs Cycle. This process entails the conversion of glucose to ATP. The by-products of the Krebs Cycle along the Electron Transport Chain are what are known as redox signaling molecules (“RSM”). Originally, scientists perceived these by-products as metabolic waste – oxidants and reductants that must be purged from the cell in order to remain healthy. However, current research suggests otherwise. That in fact a proper homeostatic balance of oxidants and reductants is absolutely necessary for maintaining cellular health, including virtually all of the functions of the immune system and tissue regeneration response. In the most simplistic terms, they provide a means by which cells participate in intra and inter-cellular damage-control communications, activation of antioxidants, cellular protection and defense against toxins and free radicals, and in the healing response.

The human body is constantly working to maintain cellular health by balancing these redox signaling molecules to rid the body of harmful components and to clean up the oxidative stress and free radical damage that occurs at the cellular level, while simultaneously ensuring the cell’s ability to maintain proper Communication with its environment. When these reactive molecules are in the proper balance, the immune system and healing process function at their optimal level.

  Virtually all disease and bodily challenges are caused by what is called oxidative stress – a increasingly salient reality of living in modern times attributable to a wide variety of factors, including sun damage, excessive exercise, electromagnetic radiation, food additives and preservatives, x-ray radiation, prescription drugs, heavy metals, stress, anxiety, air & water pollution, lack of sleep, and toxic industrialized chemicals to name a few. These factors cause our cells to produce an excess of oxidants in comparison to reductants – thus throwing off the cell’s homeostatic balance of RSMs and promoting the proliferation of harmful free radicals. But this imbalance is how the cell detects damage and is signaled to repair itself. The immune system is summoned, prompting repair, or replacement of the cell via mitosis (cell division) of a neighboring healthy cell. Without this excess of oxidants indicating oxidative stress, the cell wouldn’t know to reach out for restorative help. Too many oxidants leads to a proliferation of damaged cells. But too few oxidants impairs the cell’s ability to signal an immune response and to repair damage. Therefore, balance – homeostasis – is key.

However, chronic oxidative stress leads to a proliferation of free radicals that unless neutralized, lead to cell damage that will continue to worsen – damaging the cell walls, vessel walls, proteins, fats and even the DNA nucleus of our cells — until the cell can no longer properly function. The result advances the aging of tissues, leading to poor health and the potentiality for degenerative disease. It is for this reason that we are constantly inundated with the health benefits of anti-oxidants. The idea is that these molecules combat the proliferation of free radicals in an effort to bring the cell back to healthy homeostasis. But herein lies the rub. First, most antioxidant supplements are molecules far too large to pass through the cell wall, averaging about 200 atoms in diameter. Therefore, most (some scientists estimate about 90%) are denied entry to the place where they are needed most – inside the cell where the free radicals are found. Second, one anti-oxidant molecule is empowered to combat one free radical molecule before becoming essentially inert. It is thus a 1:1 ratio. However, the body generally harbors about 100 sextillion free radicals a day. That’s a heck of a lot! Due to this restrictive 1:1 ratio, scientific studies show that your body can’t possibly ingest enough antioxidants to eliminate the number of free radicals your body makes every day. For example, you would have to eat 32 pounds of strawberries, 31 pounds of raspberries, AND 15 pounds of dark chocolate per day to achieve the antioxidant power that it would take to eliminate the free radicals that are created naturally in the body.

ASEA

This is where ASEA comes in – as the first and only RSM supplement. As stated above, stable RSMs are central to the body’s healing mechanisms, mediating multiple cellular defence, repair & replacement signaling pathways. ASEA purports to have determined a completely stable, balanced, bio-available and entirely non-toxic formula of RSMs native to the body that can effectively penetrate the cell wall (unlike most anti-oxidant supplements), efficiently combat free radicals, stimulate the body’s production of its own anti-oxidant defenses, and stabilize the proper homeostasis of oxidants to reductants to optimize cellular communication, repair, and replacement, thus enhancing the body’s ability to properly function, recover, and simply work as designed. Moreover, independent studies show that ASEA when in contact with living cells increased the efficiency of some of our body’s most important native antioxidants inside living cells – such as glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) — more than 500%. In other words, ASEA is purported to significantly stimulate the cell’s own production of the master antioxidants inside the cells without causing an inflammatory immune system response. What does this mean? It means that the body becomes empowered to neutralize approximately 70,000,000 free radicals per second — the rate at which native Glutathione Peroxidase is able to process oxidative free radicals. Quite an improvement over the results that can be achieved by a diet rich in anti-oxidants.

"Asea merely enhances the body’s innate ability to repair itself"

The Importance of Cellular Communication

The Importance of Cellular Communication

Cellular communication is an important event in the human body - and no, I'm not talking about phones or texting! The human body is made up of millions of cells of all different kinds, and it is at this basic level that life occurs. All of these cells have different roles, jobs and abilities they perform, all of which are necessary for us to lead normal, healthy lives. Cellular communication - the transfer of information and substances form one cell to another - is how cells perform their jobs, stay normalized, and transfer important information to the rest of the body. If cell communication is high and uninhibited, each cell can function as it is designed to, perform its own special role in the body and relay necessary information about basic bodily activity to other cells so that they, in turn, can perform their jobs.

This basic communication, however, is steadily declining in human beings. Cells can't call out or yell to other cells and tell them what's going on in the body - they communicate by scanning the surface of other cells and transmitting specialized substances that carry information. If cells don't have the proper materials for communication the messages they carry may be lost or misinterpreted by other cells, and one can easily imagine the chaos that can ensue. This is all the result of improper nutrition in the body - the body does not have the necessary ingredients to provide cells with that which they need to communicate. The decline of nutrition in our society is of course not a secret, and today we are just barely scratching the surface at the problems that it is causing, and the breakdown of cellular communication is at the core.

The bad news is that although we are aware of a nutrition deficit, its not going away any time soon. It is too simple to obtain poor nutrition in the form of sugars, fats, greases, genetically modified food materials and artificially constructed ingredients, and not simple enough to get clean, untampered natural foods in a balanced way. The task of eating right and getting good nutrition is daunting, and understandably most people never make the attempt.

The Good new is that with good nutrition and an suppliment of Redox signaling moleculse we can get back the cell Communication that we had when we were Younger. and what would that do with your Health?

Asea is the only Health suppliment in the World with redox signaling molecules. the same kind of redox signaling molecule that you body produc its self.

Redox Signaling Molecules

The most abundant molecules of life


The human body is constantly working to maintain cellular health. It does this by balancing reactive molecules to rid the body of harmful components and to clean up the oxidative stress and free radical damage that occur at the cellular level. When these reactive molecules are in the proper balance, the immune system and healing process function at their optimal level.
Volumes of research from independent scientists around the world confirm the vital nature of Redox Signaling to cell health. And every day more research and published articles are appearing about Redox Signaling, making it one of the fastest growing research fields in science.

What are Redox Signaling molecules?

Redox Signaling is a function that is central to all life on the planet. Redox Signaling molecules are created within every cell of the body, and are vital to the immune system and to cellular healing mechanisms. Redox Signaling molecules are so essential to life that without them, you would die within seconds.
A proper supply of Redox Signaling molecules enables the normal cellular healing process: damaged, dysfunctional cells fading away and healthy, vibrant cells taking over. .

How do these molecules work?

Redox Signaling molecules are classified into two groups: Reactive Oxygen Species and Reduced Species. The Reactive Oxygen Species arms the immune system, the Reduced Species activates antioxidants. A careful, homeostatic balance between these two species is maintained in all cells and tissues. When a problem or damage occurs, this balance is disturbed, and this imbalance sends a signal to cause the cells and tissues to defend and repair themselves, thus restoring healthy balance.

Why is Redox signaling so important?

Both the internal and external factors such as stress, toxic chemicals, bacterial infections, poor nutrition etc affect our health in an adverse way. This causes significant cellular damage and a reduction in Redox signaling molecules. Without an adequate supply of Redox signaling molecules the antioxidants and immune system are unable to function effectively, leading to a vast range of health ailments.

Cells are damaged by factors like sunlight, environmental pollution, toxins, chemicals, infections and other irritants. Damaged cells build up oxidants or free radicals. As a part of the Redox signaling process, the activator molecules trigger the antioxidants that neutralize the free radicals and maintain a balance of oxidative molecules in the body. Also the signaling molecules ensure that the immune system and cellular communication is functioning at optimum levels. A lack of Redox signaling molecules disrupts this entire process – the balance of activated oxygen molecules is destroyed, leading to cellular damage and other health ailments.

As described by Dr. Naidu...
Life is an extraordinary REDOX program designed to capture, store, and expend energy through the reorganization of chemical bonds. Plants and animals require a continuous flow of chemicals that refill the spent molecules that regulate our cells and keep them in balance. Life is dependent on these complex energy transformations – all living organisms require energy for survival, growth and multiplication. On earth we have two types of energy production: some living systems derive their energy from sunlight, like plants, while other living systems, like animals, use the organic material created by plants as their source of energy (cows, for example, eat grass). Both types of energy require specialized adaptations to use these energy sources and these are called REDOX reactions. When the balance of these REDOX reactions inside our cells is disturbed chronic disease and aging can occur. Various external influences can cause these imbalances within like diet, toxins, pollution, excessive sun exposure, bacteria, viruses and more. Dr. Naidu describes in great detail how systems of the body are affected by this type of imbalance in our cells.

Protect . Repair .  Replace

We live and die at the cellular level. Every aspect of our health begins with the condition of our cells. Cells that are damaged, stressed, and slow to recover diminish the body’s ability to maintain a healthy balance. Cells that protect and heal themselves quickly result in improved health.

The health of our cells determines the health of our bodies. Our cells are designed first to protect themselves, second to repair any damage that does occur, and finally to replace a cell that experiences irreparable damage. The cell’s ability to do this depends on how quickly and efficiently it can communicate, both inside and outside the cell

The possibility of stabalizing redox signaling molecules and using them as bio-agents, non-toxic agents inside of our body is phenominal. It will be the future technology… that will affect almost all areas of health science. This technology has the potential of spearheading some of the greatest advances of health in the world. - Dr.Gary Samuelson

VO2 Testing Results with ASEA

VO2 Testing Results with ASEA

This document report provides the results of VO2max Athletic Endurance Testing performed on 17 Athletes from June to July 2009 who took ASEA on a regular basis. Learn More Experimental Methods for VO2max testing: Seventeen (17) Athletes performed a VO2max test where heart rate (HR), oxygen intake (VO2), Carbon Dioxide outflow (VCO2) and Ventilatory Threshold (VT explained below) were measured during a standard professionally administered VO2max endurance test. Athletes were selected based on their answers on a signed questionnaire that assessed their physical condition and commitment to follow the rules. In order to be qualified, each athlete affirmed that they typically work out rigorously an average of more than 5 hours per week, ate a healthy diet during the test period and was adequately hydrated before each test. Each athlete agreed to follow the rules including maintaining their normal daily routines during the test period and faithfully drinking ASEA during the 14 day test period; they abstained from drinking ASEA for at least a week before the initial baseline testing. The athletes took the baseline test the week of June 15 before taking ASEA. The final test, after taking ASEA (4 oz. per day) for more than 14 days, was done between June 27 and July 9. Each athlete drank 8 oz of ASEA immediately before taking the final test. The VO2max tests were performed on a CardioCoach® system by technicians having more than 5 years experience of administering VO2max tests on this system. The results were analyzed using standard statistical methods for determining Ventilatory Threshold (VT). Detailed explanations are given in the Results section. During the baseline VO2max test, the power output level of the athlete was recorded (the resistance level of the cycle or the speed and incline of the treadmill). This information was used to repeat the same power levels during the final test, making the final test, as far as power output, a repeat of the initial baseline test. If the athlete’s endurance allowed, the test then would be continued at a higher power output until VO2max was detected. This experiment is designed to allow comparison between the performance of a varied group of athletes on the VO2max test before they took ASEA to their performance on the same test after taking ASEA for more than 14 days and directly before testing. At least 15 athletes were needed in order to have a broader statistical base to measure significant trends. Even though this testing did not have a control group, there was a broad enough base to establish significant trends that can be further studied and verified by controlled double-blind tests on elite groups later on. Physiological Explanation of VT Endurance Measurements: For this experiment, the focus was placed on measuring Ventilatory Threshold (VT), which is widely recognized as a better and more accurate way to measure endurance and power output capacity than VO2max itself. The VT can be measured by comparing the volume of oxygen intake (VO2) to the volume of Carbon Dioxide exhaled (VCO2). As the muscles put out more power, their demand for oxygen from the blood grows proportionally to the amount of waste CO2 they expel into the blood. This is reflected in the VO2 and VCO2 measurements. The body can be thought of as a machine: oxygen (O2) goes into the lungs, passes into the blood where it is pumped into the muscle tissues. There it is combined with sugars and fats to produce the energy needed to sustain the power output. The waste products of aerobic energy production include carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is passed back out of the tissues into the lungs where it is then expelled. The amount of O2 going in during aerobic exercise should be directly proportional to the CO2 expelled; this is seen on a graph comparing VCO2 to VO2 as a line. There comes a point, however, during the VO2max test that the power output of the muscles exceeds the ability of the lungs and heart to supply the needed oxygen. At this point an anaerobic process inside the muscle tissues begins to produce energy (energy without oxygen) in order to supply the energy deficit. The waste products of this process include lactic acid and an additional amount of CO2. This anaerobic CO2 waste, combined with the aerobic CO2 waste can be measured as a much increased VCO2 measurement relative to the VO2. This point (VT) can be seen on the VCO2 vs. VO2 graph as a “kink” as the volume of CO2 being expelled goes quickly up to a higher level. VT is defined as the point where VCO2 starts its steeper incline. Thus VT marks the end of pure aerobic energy producing process and the beginning of a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic energy producing processes. This can also be measured with a sharp increase of lactic acid in the blood (usually denoted LT, Lactic Threshold). In this experiment LT is not measured. As lactic acid builds up in the tissues, it inhibits the ability of the tissues to absorb oxygen efficiently, making the aerobic process less efficient. At the Anaerobic Threshold (AT), the build-up of lactic acid begins to spiral up out of control. A few minutes after AT, the carbohydrate supply also runs out and the muscle tissue fails to function. This point of complete exhaustion typically comes several tens of seconds after VO2max, (the point where the body is taking in the maximum amount of O2 possible). VO2max depends on a lot of genetic factors such as lung capacity, heart capacity and the efficiency of the air-blood interface to exchange O2 and CO2 in the lungs as well as the efficiency of the blood-tissue interface in the muscles. Normally VO2max will only significantly increase if lung or heart capacity increases due to long periods of strenuous exercise. VT, on the other hand, is a measure of how much power an athlete is able to sustain at his peak aerobic efficiency. VT can be increased if the blood-air interface in the lungs or blood-tissue interface becomes more efficient in transporting oxygen or getting rid of CO2 and lactic acid. Thus VT is a parameter that it makes sense to target for increase in athletic training. Results of the VO2max testing: The results of the test are presented in summary form with one specific example to illustrate measurements taken and the trends. Average Heart Rate (HR), Average VT, Average VO2max and Average Time to achieve VO2max are reported. Due to experimental error (a loose breathing mask, perhaps), the results for two athletes had to be removed from the averages for VT and VO2max (averaged over 15 athletes). Averages for Heart Rate and Total Time are based on all 17 athletes. Example of results for one athlete As an illustration of the trends seen, one athlete was selected that provided an easily visible example of the trends. His baseline VO2max score was 61.7 (close to the average) before ASEA and increased to 68.1 after ASEA, this was an exceptional increase possibly related to a combination other improvements. His Heart Rate (HR) also was lower during the final test, as evident in the graph (Average HR went from 133 to 121 bpm [beats per minute] over the comparable region).

Also plainly seen on the graph is the difference in the Time to achieve VO2max (the point where the HR graph-line ends). His final VO2max test (with ASEA) ran almost 4 minutes longer than his baseline test even at the highest power output. Below is shown his VCO2 vs. VO2 graph illustrating the clear “kink” in the data that defines his VT before (diamonds) and after (triangles) ASEA. He achieved VT at 376 seconds into the test on his baseline test. After ASEA,VT happened at 498 seconds, a more than 30% increase. This is much larger than the uncertainty in the difference of his power output between the two tests. Also seen is the trend that VCO2 is increasing at a milder rate after taking ASEA, both before and after VT.

In over 70% of the athletes, similar trends were seen, especially in the VT. Summary of Results The following table gives a summary of the results over all tested athletes as already explained. There is a statistical variance of about 3% on the VT averages; similar uncertainties should apply to all these averages.

Heart Rate is only measured over comparable regions, as to only compare heart rates at similar power output. An interesting aside, there was no difference in the average heart rate (taken over all athletes) in the interval preceding VT before and after ASEA was taken. Observations and Conclusions Based on Results: There is a clear and unequivocal trend in the VO2max data. Based on the data, about 70% of the athletes that try ASEA should experience the ability to maintain a higher power output without crossing the Ventilatory Threshold (VT) that instigates fatigue, allowing them to go longer at the same power burn or to operate at a higher power burn than possible before ASEA. This is based on the most salient feature of the data–the extension of time at similar power levels before the VT and VO2max fatigue-related thresholds. These results deserve more careful investigation and verification. Since 14 days do not give the body enough time to increase lung capacity or cardiovascular capacity, it seems reasonable to conclude that these trends may be more indicative of short range increases in the oxygen-transfer efficiency caused by the ingestion of ASEA, either at the lungs or in the tissues. It may also be indicative of an increased efficiency in ridding the body of excess lactic acid. This would indicate that ASEA would be most effective taken directly before and after exercise.
