Over the years, I have learned several very powerful secrets to beautiful skin. The first is keeping the skin well hydrated. Yes, the ‘6 to 8 glasses of water a day’ are certainly important. This is especially true as we age because older people tend to stay in a state of dehydration. Using nutrients with hydrating properties can be a great help. Vitamin B5, Pantothenic Acid, is just a great one.
I designed a transdermal cream containing the equivalent of 4000 mg. of Panthenol, which you rub all over your face at night before you go to sleep. You can also put it on again in the morning. Make up can be applied on top of the cream as it soaks into the skin without leaving any film. This hydrating cream is great for both men and women. You may not want to use any make up when you see how great your skin looks.
The movie star, Suzanne Somers, has certainly gotten the message across in her many books that our hormones are vital to aging. Yet we fear that our hormones will increase our risk of breast, uterine and prostate cancers. This fear cannot be evidenced base when you know that these cancers are extremely rare in very young men and women when the normal hormone ranges are at their highest levels.
Remember you want to have the same hormone levels when you are old as when you were young. You may have “normal” levels of a 65-90 year old but ideally you want to be ’20’ again. The only way you can have that is to supplement with estrogens, progesterone, DHA and testosterone. You don’t know what your sex hormone levels are unless you measure them and that is easily done using a comprehensive saliva hormone panel, which you can do at home. Your fountain of youth is but 3 weeks away when you review your levels and decide to supplement them if they are low.
You must never take Estrogen or Testosterone without balancing with Progesterone. To quote Dr. Wilson, “I have never seen a woman get breast cancer if she has high levels of progesterone. NOT ONE.”
The other two secrets to beautiful skin is a well functioning G.I. tract with an adequate bacterial flora, as well as a functioning detoxification system. Probiotics are a critical aid to everyone desiring good health. I recommend Ther-Biotic Complete, which contains 25+ billion CFUs of multi-species probiotics.
What I also learned was toxic pollutants contaminating our bodies play havoc with our skin. This is especially true of heavy metal poisoning and specifically mercury poisoning. When I have chelated patients with severe acne many clear dramatically.
Just as we can measure our hormones, we can measure our body burden of toxic heavy metals. You simply swallow a chelating agent and collect your urine for 6 hours. The laboratory does the rest. You may even notice an immediate lessening of blemishes just with the challenge chelation dose. Continuous chelation will be required over many months to remove mercury from your body if you have a body burden. You may also note a change in your mood, a feeling of overt happiness after just one challenge dose, potentially revealing the cause of two major problems in your life – your skin and your mood.

AGING GRACEFULLY AND BEAUTIFULLY (ANTI-AGING SKIN CARE)
The Trienelle Photodocumentation Project:
***Daily Renewal Creme
Following is a series of case studies showing the various stages of skin improvement on subjects who used Trienelle Daily Renewal Creme for a specific time.
SUBJECT: Female, 41 y.o.
CONDITION: Early “crow’s feet” wrinkles around eye area HISTORY: The subject began to notice wrinkles around the eyes in her late 30’s and used a variety of moisturizers and facial cremes, none of which affected the appearance of the wrinkles. Trienelle was applied twice daily for three months.
OUTCOME: The appearance of the wrinkles improved gradually over the three month period and are virtually gone at the end of three months. The slightly rough, “pebbly” texture of the skin appears smoother.
 |  |
SUBJECT: Female, age undisclosed
CONDITION: Advanced photodamage over face; ‘crow’s feet’ at eye area
HISTORY: Many years of ongoing unprotected sun exposure resulted in significant photodamage to this woman’s face and other exposed skin. The skin had become dull, dry and wrinkled despite use of various products.
OUTCOME: Trienelle was applied to the face twice daily. While mildly pleased with the changes in the first two months, the subject was elated with the changes seen by the end of the third month. Other areas of the face show similar improvements.
 |  |
SUBJECT: Female, age 41
CONDITION: Wrinkling and creasing of skin beneath and around eye area
HISTORY: Skin shows evidence of moderate photodamage and aging. Wrinkles around the eyes indicate loss of collagen beneath the surface of the skin. Uneven pigmentation and freckling suggests long-term, chronic UV exposure.
OUTCOME: Regular use of Trienelle Daily Renewal Creme has led to a substantial improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The skin is significantly smoother and firmer. Pigmentation is more even, with fading of freckles and age spots.
|
SUBJECT: Female, 48 y.o.
CONDITION: Severely photodamaged skin
HISTORY: Concerned about the prematurely aged appearance of her skin, the subject had tried a variety of high-priced skin care products, without significant results. She has very sensitive skin and frequently cannot tolerate even high-quality skin products. These unretouched photographs demonstrate the effects of the use of Trienelle Daily Renewal Creme.
OUTCOME: After three months, a dramatic reduction in the depth of facial wrinkles is apparent. Skin appears tighter and skin tone is noticeably improved. Coloration and texture is more uniform. The subject reports that acquaintances have begun to mention that she looks younger. She reports no irritation or sensitivity to Trienelle Daily Renewal Creme and has even noticed decreased skin reactivity to other medications.
 |  |
SUBJECT: Female, 80 y.o.
CONDITION: Chronic dry skin with severe desquamation (flaking)
HISTORY: Despite routine use of a moisturizer, the subject’s lower legs were extremely dry, itchy, and “tight” feeling. She continued to apply the old moisturizer daily to the left leg and used Trienelle Daily Renewal Creme on the right.
OUTCOME: After 3 months, the skin on the right leg has been transformed to smooth, healthy skin while the left leg remains unchanged… The subject reports that the itchiness and discomfort were relieved within the first week of using Trienelle Daily Renewal Creme. No moisturizer was applied for 24 hours before both photos were taken.

It took me many years in the practice of medicine to realize that we get many of our chronic diseases from chronic malnutrition. Whether it’s heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis or obesity our increased susceptibility comes from deficiencies of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals.
If malnutrition is the cause of all these diseases then nutrition could also be the treatment. A few simple examples will support this concept.
Our Center has been doing breast thermography for 5 years. We have been able, over and over again to reverse the pathologic breast changes seen on a thermogram using intense nutritional intervention. Japanese women have the lowest incidence of breast cancer in the world because their diets are high in iodine. The corollary is also true. American women have the highest levels of breast cancer because they have the lowest. (0.5 mg. vs. 13.8 mg.) Does this mean if we would only increase the iodine in our daily diet we could prevent and even treat breast cancer? YES. Fibrocystic disease of the breast is unequivocally caused by iodine deficiency and can be reversed over 6 to 9 months by supplementing iodine. Also in general, countries with the highest levels of Selenium in their soil have the lowest evidence of all cancers.
The second example is that of this country’s number one killer- Heart Disease. Could it be that a deficiency of Vitamin K2 may be the cause and not cholesterol and fats in our diet? I was overwhelmed by the research from the Netherlands that demonstrated how Vitamin K2 pulled the plaque out of our arteries and did it in a matter of several weeks. Again, the Japanese and pacific islanders have the lowest incidence of heart disease because they eat NATTO, fermented soy, the greatest source of Vitamin K2.
A study done on a large population in Rotterdam revealed that 45 mcg. of Vitamin K2 prevented heart disease. This is why I urged all of my patients to take a single 90 mcg. capsule of MK7 (Vitamin K2). Does this mean that if we would only add a source of Vitamin K2 we could reduce our risk of deadly heart disease? Again, the answer is yes. The second part of the Vitamin K2 story is that when the plaque is pulled out of the arteries it goes back into the bones and reverses osteoporosis. A disease affecting a majority of women but also many men.
And finally if you haven’t heard it from me many times before, Vitamin D3, the sunshine vitamin, may be the panacea that both prevents and treats our worst degenerative diseases. These include almost every disease that you can mention from heart disease, cancer, MS, diabetes, and the whole spectrum of autoimmune diseases such as Lupus, Scleroderma and Rheumatoid Arthritis. So what do I want you to take away from this medical alert? None of us should be foolish enough not to supplement our diets with these 4 basic nutrients:
1)Iodine
2)Selenium
3)Vitamin K2 as menaquinone 7
4)Vitamin D3
There are around 44 essential nutrients that your body requires but for our generation these 4 are dynamite!
These are tough times economically but I cannot think of a more cost effective way to maintain our health than through these few nutrients.
