What is the WonYong Pi(π)-Water[Vital Organic Water™(V.O.W.)] ? WonYong Pi(π)-Water discovered through research on the physiology of plants The question on the blooming phenomenon of plant was the initial origin of WonYong Pi(π)-Water, which led to the discovery of the substance conducting a important action other than the hormone (florigen) during the research course of flower bud differentiation. It was the vital water of plant itself. This is the water induced by memorized transcription of vital energy from infinitesimal amount of the iron ion [ferric-ferrous salts lipid complex]. This is called as "WonYong Pi(π)-Water", and "Pi(π)" stands for the activation, meaning the life, to express it in a easier way. All the substance in the natural world will destroy organizational structure through being oxidized, spoiled and resolved, and therefore, the new substance will be established. Like this, it is the ferric-ferrous salts lipid complex which suppresses the oxidizing, resolving and destroying power, and induces the activation of the living body. And, it is the "WonYong Pi(π)-Water" which makes the ferric-ferrous salts lipid complex acted in the normal water by extracting it in a special method. Through verification, it was proved that this water had been playing a very important role in the living body. The understanding of WonYong Pi(π)-Water It is the WonYong Pi(π)-Water created by applying(memorization) living body materials through using special method extracting infinitesimal amount of the ferric ferrous salt discovered at the organic water. WonYong Pi(π)-Water is the high-energized water promoting activation of the living body and regulating the balance of Yin and Yang. It means the water infinitely close to the organic water, and the water with highly activated vital energy.WonYong Pi(π)-Water which was discovered from the organic water of plant is very close to the original water which was the beginning of creating life after the birth of the earth. The activated water creating life is being created in all the living creatures at present also, and it becomes the source of vitality such as immunization capability, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Genuine WonYong Pi(π)-Water can be largely classified into two different kinds: 1. Highly-refined WonYong Pi(π)-Water Concentrate Solution 2. Highly-energized WonYong Pi(π)-Water Ceramic --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ◆ The major features of V.O.W. drops ① It protects the normal cell, and conducts the action of making abnormal cell into normal (promotes the activation of cell), and acts Calcium antagonism(Calcium antagonist properties), ② It plays a role of protecting living body from harmful substance by suppressing oxidation and disintegration (Neutralizing the harm of active oxygen: Anti-oxidation action, Preventing formation of hazardous ions: Detoxification action), and ③ It records the information on the biological activity, and conducts the action to activate biological activity in the living body (strengthening of immunization capability). * Anti-oxidation effects of V.O.W. drops. Ultra Strong Antioxidant - V.O.W. drops is far superior effective than general strong antioxidant materials. [ Important of "Antioxidants" - 'Active oxygen(free radical)' cause diseases! ] WonYong Pi(π)-Water is vital water that has the strongest antioxidant characteristics. Modern scientific and medical findings to date indicate that the primary culprits to our bodies getting sick and aging are harmful agents called oxidants. Active oxygen is believed to be related to 90% of human diseases. Thus, active oxygen is known as a main culprit for most human diseases (diabetes, atopy skin infections, stomach ulcers, duodenum ulcers, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, liver disease, gout, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, hardening of arteries, kidney disease, aging, etc.) Our bodies are constantly attacked by these same oxidants, and our organic cells and genes (DNA, RNA) get damaged by the oxidation process. Large amounts of oxidized debris/wastes from oxidized cells circulate throughout the body through the blood vessels, causing diseases and resulting in aging. Harmful oxygen reacts with fatty materials in our body to make overly oxidized fatty substances, and these oxygen molecules and overly oxidized fatty substances damage cells and lymphcytes, destroy red blood cells, and coagulate blood platelets, causing all kinds of ailments, ranging from strokes, hardening of the arteries, myocardial infarction and cerebral vessel problems to accelerated aging, diabetes, atopy skin infections, cataract, liver cancer and other cancers. 90 % of cells are comprised of water, and strong oxidation reactions take place when the cells are filled with water with active oxidants. Our body's cells are constantly attacked and damaged by oxidant agents (active oxygen). One's health cannot be restored by delayed or improper treatments alone, when the primary cause is ignored. In other words, by drinking a plentiful amount of our WonYong Pi-Water, one can protect cells from oxidation stress and maintain his or her health. * Detoxification action of V.O.W. drops. (Control oxidation reduction reaction, Neutralization, Make toxin into harmlessness) Ultra Strong Detoxicant - V.O.W. Drops is far superior effective than general strong detoxicant materials. - It is excellent effective to liver trouble & kidney trouble & toxin relation diseases. WonYong Pi(π)-Water conducts the action inhibiting harmful toxin ion(controls of oxidation-reduction reaction). WonYong Pi(π)-Water makes it unharmful by inhibiting the action of harmful substance. - Suppression of toxicity by means of suppressing power against ionization of harmful toxin ion(suppression against action of harmful toxin ion). WonYong Pi(π)-Water not only eliminates harmful activated oxygen but also has the suppressing power against ionization of harmful toxin ion which inhibits(neutralizes) the action of harmful toxin ion by surrounding harmful toxin ion, if there's any harmful toxin ion conducting bad action(unbalance). As time goes by, while all the general water will be contaminated(ionization, deterioration, oxidation, spoiling, toxic action) due to the ionization, WonYong Pi(π)-Water prevents from being contaminated by suppressing the action of ionized harmful substance owing to its capability of neutralization(control oxidation reduction reaction ; keeping balance of living body). It conducts the action inhibiting toxicity as well as harmful activated oxygen by utilizing strong suppressing power against ionization of harmful toxin ion(detoxification action). The fact that the toxic substance acts as poison means that the power of chemical combination of harmful substance molecule with other molecules is strong due to the ionization and unstability by being dissolved in the water and reacting with water. It establishes the condition of suppressing generation of excessively activated oxygen, and that of inhibiting display of toxicity by the poison through surrounding harmful ions utilizing its habit of surrounding them when it meet with them. This is the very reason why WonYong Pi(π)-Water keeps living creatures from various types of toxic substance. The acidification of nationwide soil by acid rain affected from harmful substance which is in the serious issues now due to the environmental contamination can be solved by neutralization of acid soil by using Pi(π)-Water also. The obstacle in making repeated cultivation and obstacle in base of the soil are the side effects caused by the action of harmful substance, and it will be solved by using WonYong Pi(π)-Water. (The soil must be considered from the standpoint of organic system, and therefore, it can be solved by replacing the water contained in the sick soil accumulated with harmful substance with WonYong Pi(π)-Water conducting a strong backup role for the organic system, in the same manner as conducting metabolism action by combining organic water with living body) - Saltwater fish and freshwater fish both live together in WonYong Pi(π)-Water. - Fish living in the potassium cyanide: Prepare general water and WonYong Pi(π)-Water, and put several tens ppm of potassium cyanide into them respectively. After that, if 10 heads of fishes were put into each water respectively, all the cyprinodonts at the testing tool in general water with potassium cyanide were killed in a few minutes, while those in Pi(π)-Water with potassium cyanide were swimming healthily without being killed. Provided that the enough ferric salts were put into the water in this experiment. - Experiment using acetic acid copper(test of ionization by means of copper and acetic acid): Put copper powder in the distilled water. It will become acetic acid copper if you add a drop of acetic acid. The color of copper will be changed into blue. But, the water will not be changed into blue, if you test the same after replacing distilled water with WonYong Pi(π)-Water. That is, it shows that the acetic acid copper was not generated because ion dissociation was not occurred. * Calcium antagonism(Action of calcium antagonist) of V.O.W. drops(preserves the characteristics of calcium).
Ultra Strong Calcium Antagonist Properties Easily speaking, Calcium antagoinsm : Promote blood circulation[Prevent blood vessel constriction & smooth muscle constriction, Prevent blood clot(thrombus), Prevent blood solidification], Protect heart and cardiovascular system, Prevent calculus, Suppressing pain[suppression action against calcium(neurotransmitter)], Prevent premature birth, etc. Prevent of cancer(cancer cell : high calcium density on intracellular), and also prevent other diseases to regulate density of calcium in the cell. [ Calcium antagonists ] : Medicine for “Diseases by blood vessel” and “Cardiovascular diseases”. V.O.W. drops suppresses attack of Calcium and, control calcium density. [ Important of "Calcium antagonism" - 'Intracellular calcium increase' cause diseases! ] The calcium density will not be increased if you add a small amount of V.O.W. drops. Because V.O.W. drops is suppressing the invasion of calcium into the cell. Though it is absolutely essential to have very small amount of calcium in the cell, its density must be preserved constantly. Though calcium in the cell is essential in the activation of the cell, it will injure or kill the cell in opposition if calcium invades into the cell from the blood and is increased in amount. Increasing calcium density act on blood vessel constriction & smooth muscle constriction. If this thing continues, it will be the source of the diseases of adult people such as arteries hardening, hypertension, heart disease(angina pectoris, myocardial infarction), cancer as well as aging. Also, increase calcium density of intracellular acts on oxytocic(uterus constriction). It causes premature birth. Amniotic fluid also suppresses smooth muscle constriction of uterus, and prevents premature birth like V.O.W. drops. It may be considered as the very important issue in the prevention of cancer(cancer cell : high calcium density ) to regulate density of calcium in the cell like V.O.W. drops. V.O.W. drops have control of calcium coming to the intracellular. Moreover, it is considered that the fact of suppressing pain through V.O.W. drops is owing to this suppression action against calcium(neurotransmitter). Calcium Channel Blocker V.O.W. drops prevent thrombus(blood clots ; Improve blood circulation ultra strongly) extremely strong and calculus too. [ Calcium + Blood platelet = Blood solidification ] The suppression of blood solidification is owing to the regulating action of calcium also. V.O.W. drops improve circulation of the blood. The combination of oxalic acid and calcium forms the calculus. [ Calcium + Oxalic acid = Calculus ] If you add V.O.W. drops at calcium phosphate & calcium oxalate making calculus, the calculus will not be established. It has the action of inhibiting calculus. The reason why V.O.W. drops makes blood pressure lowered(normalized) also shows that it makes circulation better by regulating calcium action within the body and expanding(normalizing) blood vessel. The important action of calcium antagonism Among 1~2 kg of calcium existing in our body, 99% of it is existing in the bone, and the remaining 1% is existing in the blood, extracellular fluid and cellular fluid, etc. The action of Vital Organic Water™ is greatly involved in the action of this 1% calcium. The action of calcium, even though it is in the infinitesimal amount(1%), plays a very important role involving in the stabilization of cell membrane, transmission of signal in the cell, secretion of nerves transmitting substance, regulation of various hormone secretion, blood solidification, and contraction of heart muscles, skeletal muscles and smooth muscles because the constant amount of calcium is required always. Though constant amount of calcium is required always, the lack of calcium caused by the unbalance between supply and demand will result in acquiring necessary calcium by melting its own bone because the required quantity of calcium in the body is changing always. Generally, there may be excessive calcium absorbed from bone temporarily, though the calcium taking in from the meal is not absorbed more than the amount needed. The calcium in the bone will be diminished because the calcium stored in the bone is turned into the blood. The calcium coming out of our bone should go somewhere, upon completion of its role in the blood stream. This(harmful villain calcium coming out from bone) promotes the diseases of adult people such as arteries hardening, hypertension, etc. by attaching to the blood vessel wall or human anatomy. Or, it may injure the cell or make cancer by invading into the cell at its will. The protection against attack of these excessive harmful villain calcium to the cell etc is one of the actions of WonYong Pi(π)-Water. * Improve blood condition(Protect heart and cardiovascular system). Ultra Strong Blood Circulation VOW drops improve circulation of the blood & condition of blood vessel, and make clean & fresh blood(purification & revitalization of the blood), and activate blood-forming organ(cells), and increase bloodstream in the brain, effective heart and cardiovascular health, etc. * Boost immunity. [ Excellent to strengthen immune system ] Ultra Strong Immunizing Agent VOW drops enhances human body's immune system extremely. It also strengthen stamina. * Memorize and transfer ability of given informations by V.O.W. drops. Record the life(living activity) information, and activates the life process in a living organism. [ It records the information on the biological activity, and conducts the action to activate biological activity in the living body ] One of the most miraculous character of V.O.W. is its memory power. It records the information on the biological activity, and conducts the action to activate biological activity in the living body. Organic water makes our bodies alive, it is because of the special structure of water, for instance, small ting seeds grow to plants, blosome flowers, ripen fruits. All these phenomena depends on the DNA information of the plants. And this DNA information changes to the water’s nature. This is because organic water controls the memory of the information and transaction. V.O.Water memorize and transfer specific data on physiological conditions. In addition, such memorization and transfer of data occur only when such acts are beneficial to us. V.O.Water keep such life informations and transfer anothers by infinitesimal amount of ferric-ferrous salts. It apply to Pi(π)-Vaccine Technology, etc. * The memory on the substance by V.O.W. drops. Composition of protein - we may observe that the same protein as before is formed, if we make simple ferric salt by eliminating protein from the protein solution containing a certain kind of ferric salt, and add amino acid to that aqueous solution. This fact is the proof that the information on the protein is being maintained in that ferric salt. * V.O.W. drops prevents rotting. [ Excellent to strengthen digestive system ] Ultra Strong Anti-Rotten Properties Prevent from rotting & inflammation, Keeping freshness our cellular tissue & blood & organs & body. V.O.W. drops is far superior effective than "medicine for intestinal disorders(Probiotic, Lactobacillus, etc.)". - Prevent abnormal rotting in the intestines(bowels). - Suppress propagation of bacteria. - Harmful bacteria are suppressed, and good bacteria are reproduced. (It has excellent effect for prevention of rotting & infection & inflammation, keeping freshness.) - The propagation of bacteria will be suppressed. It has the action suppressing propagation of bacteria against the fungi such as O-157, MRSA, etc. like the amniotic fluid. It is the water with very strong activating power. * Fish mummy (mummified) in WonYong Pi-Water The freshwater fish which has lived and after died in WonYong Pi-Water does not rot but becomes a mummy whereas ordinary water impossible with the phenomena.
* Flower in the Water(V.O.W.) [Life energy of V.O.W.] - Flower keep beautiful healthy state in the water(V.O.Water) whereas ordinary water impossible.
* V.O.W. drops pH is neutral pH 7.0 WonYong Pi(π)-Water have not only neutral pH 7.0 but also strongest anti-oxidation effect. It is the water having special capability with two features at once whereas ordinary water cannot. * V.O.W. drops has a high vital energy. Ultra Strong Life Activation Energy - If you take a picture of finger by Kirlian camera after drinking WonYong Pi(π)-Water, you may identify radiation of aura. It has a excellent protecting capability of living body(antibody). (It is the water with saltatorially high wave motion of living body and internal energy). * The crystal of V.O.W. drops treatment salt has the shape as a pyramid. The crystal of common salt is the shape as a hexahedron. However, when salt is dissolved in WonYong Pi(π)-Water and evaporated the solution, the salt crystal is pyramid shape(high vital energy). ...[Large photograph Click!!]
* V.O.W. drops has the small water molecule structure.
* V.O.W. drops contains abundance oxygen. WonYong Pi(π)-Water have not only much oxygen but also anti-oxidation effect. It is the water having special capability with two features at once whereas ordinary water cannot.
* Icicle phenomenon - It was the thing formed during the freezing period of V.O.W. drops because the icicle formed on the surface of water went upward (energy of V.O.W. Concentrate). * Goldfish survives long running(V.O.W. drops ; Life extension) without feed in airtight container whereas ordinary water cannot. [Life energy of V.O.W.]
WonYong Pi(π)-Water which is limitlessly close to the vital water displays excellent effects not only medical field but also in various industrial fields including all the living bodies such as agriculture, livestock, fishery, etc. as well as human being. [Clinical practices of V.O.W. drops] There are many cases showing effects by practical use of V.O.W. drops utilized at hypertension, diabetes, liver trouble, hepatopathy, nephropathy, inflammatory disease or atopy disease, or cancer which is intractable disease. In addition, it has the effect to suppress pain also. The first feeling sensed after drinking V.O.W. drops for a few days is the fact that the sense of fatigue is remarkably disappeared and the condition of digestive system is getting much better. It is said that the appetite was good in the morning, and the regular and healthy excretion was possible by inhibiting abnormal fermentation in the intestines. ◇ It has excellent effects on protection against aging. Common use of WonYong Pi(π)-Water can delay the aging caused by weakness and reduction of cell, because WonYong Pi(π)-Water is suppressing oxidation and destruction of cells. * WonYong Pi(π)-Water and diseases. It is effective for various cancers, atopy dermatitis, chronic hepatitis, nasitis, colitis, pancreatitis, tired eyes, glaucoma, cataract, obesity, insomnia, acute renal failure, pain of joint, muscular pain, bedsore, diseases in digestive organs, allergic diseases, etc. WonYong Pi(π)-Water will affect all the diseases occurred in the human body because it is the water similar to the living body water. There are many cases of splendid improvement from intractable diseases to cold by using WonYong Pi(π)-Water, and it is effective for really various diseases. The efficacy of WonYong Pi(π)-Water acts surprisingly on the serious diseases caused by living habit(diseases of adult people). Hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, liver trouble, hepatopathy, nephropathy, allergic disease, inflammatory diseases(atopy dermatitis, hepatitis, etc.), cancer, anemia, or very common cold, and other various pains can be suppressed effectively. If cells are restored, it is natural phenomenon for the diseases to be turned favorably. In the aspect of health care treatment, various intractable diseases impossible to be cured by modern medical science are finding their way to be cured gradually. In addition to the portions mentioned in the preceding part, there are many cases stating experiences of miraculous effects by drinking WonYong Pi(π)-Water steadily. Merits of our "V.O.W. Concentrate Technology" are showing excellent effects to improvement of bad health conditions & effective to almost(verious) diseases in whole body by proper multiple actions [It does not work simply(locally) single(fragmentary) action like medicine or the other health products, but proper multiple actions all over body.]. Also, it have no side effects at all(100% SAFETY) differently medicine(side effects), even if you drinks the undiluted solution itself or drinks too much of it, etc, so you can enjoy it any time any place. It makes our whole body activating maximum which all the ability, the living body has. |

Vital Organic Water Drops (by V.O.W)
Dr. Ana Aslan & the GH3 Part Two
Dr./Prof. Anna Aslan
General Director of the State Institute for Geriatric Research and Geriatric Medicine in Bucharest, Romania, which she founded. It is the oldest institute of its kind worldwide. Dr. and scientist Anna Aslan dedicated her life to the research of the decaying cells which we call ìold ageî. After several decades of research, it was in this institute that Dr. Aslan discovered the method that slows down and sometime reverse the premature decay and aging process. she called it the GEROVITAL GH3 TREATMENT. The name Gerovital GH3 was chosen in order to reinforce its revitalizing effects on aging process. This product has at its base procaine which has a metabolic, enzymatic and anti dystrophic effect on the aging process as well as on the central nervous system diseases and the cardiovascular system. The other components of this product have a speeding and anti arteriosclerosis factor that brings a new element in the prophylaxis and in the delay of the aging process.
The Gerovital Efficiency
Dr, Aslan developed a specific method in order to implement the GEROVITAL TREATMENT, which has helped hundreds of thousands of people to become healthy and productive again. Such celebrities as Charlie Chaplin, Salvador Dali, Marlene Dietrich, Pablo Picasso and President John F. Kennedy, Stallone have benefited from Dr. Aslanís therapy. The ASLAN Institute Group is present in Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Egypt, Switzerland, Panama and South America. The first ASLAN Institute in the United States will be at the Beverly Hills Medical Center. The resent congress on Gerontology of Monte Carlo recognized once again the fundamental discoveries of Dr. Aslan. It is possible to buy the Gerovital H3 (non cosmetic) injections and pills at:
Gerovital Treatment
Gérovital G H3 is recommended to fight all aging effects. wrinkles, spots, senile keratosis, baldness, vitiligo, psoriasis, eczema, lapardosis because of its effect on the collagen. It is beneficial in treating osteoarticular diseases. It is recommended for nervous central systems with arteriosclerosis with Parkinson's disease, Pseudobulbic paralysis and cerebellum syndrome. Improvements have been noted in mobility, spasmodicity and trophic edemas.
There are very few intolerance to the Gerovital GH3 contrary to the treatments made only of procaine.
Gerovital Cosmetics/Cosmétiques Gerovital
The two lines of Gerovital Cosmetics: Gerovital Plant and Gerovital H3 (stronger concentration) associate the proven benefits of Dr. Aslanís treatments with the principal agents of plants, vitamins and elastin.
ìI was skeptical at first, but after having tried Gerovital Cosmetic products myself, I cannot live without. My skin tone, even in dry weather, returned to its original state and at the same time got rid of my wrinkles. It is a well balanced, nourishing treatment and its results are superior to the expensive Swiss cosmetic treatments.î Elizabeth Thomas, former Lancôme® and Orlane® esthetician.
What specialists think about Gerovital GH3:
ìGH3 is a major step forward in the field of anti-aging. The metabolites of procaine have enormous impact on restoring key areas in the body. Gerovital GH3 has deservedly earned a strong reputation among the older population-it enhances joint mobility and arterial health, improves mentally acuity while chasing the blues away, and it also rejuvenates the skin. Itís what you can call an all-body formula for postponing the signs of agingî Dr. Paul Yutsis, M.D.
ìGerovital is a state of the art anti-aging formula. Anyone who wants to prevent or alleviate age related diseases should be taking GH3 every day.î Dr. Hans Kluger, Associated Professor at Chicagoís Roosevelt University- Author of ìSlowing Down the Aging Processî
"Month after Month I am stunned by the results. For several nonth I gave gerovital H3 to 50 of my patients and to myself I noticed significant improvements not only physical but also mental and emotional" Dr. Albert Simard MD

Ana Aslan, Rumanian Specialist On the Aging Process, Dies in 90's
By GLENN FOWLER
Published: May 29, 1988
Published: May 29, 1988
Ana Aslan, a controversial gerontologist whose clinic in Rumania attracted thousands of people from around the world in search of renewed youth, died May 20 in Bucharest, according to reports from that city and Paris. She was in her early 90's.
Agence France-Presse reported that her death went unnoticed in Rumania for nearly a week until publication on Thursday of a small item in the obituary column of a Bucharest newspaper. She was buried last Sunday in a civil ceremony, although she had wanted a religious ceremony, Agence France-Presse said.
Dr. Aslan developed a drug named Gerovital H3 that she and a loyal group of followers promoted as an elixir of youth. Detractors asserted that it was simply a solution of procaine, which under the brand name Novocain is widely used by dentists to block pain and is administered to older people as an anti-depressant.
Shortly after World War II, Dr. Aslan, who specialized in treating arthritis, began working with a noted Rumanian hormone specialist, Constantin I. Parhon. In 1954, the Government-sponsored Parhon Institute of Geriatrics was established in Bucharest, and Dr. Aslan soon became its dominant figure. A Magnet for Wealthy People
The institute developed into a magnet for wealthy and prominent people from Europe and other continents, all searching for a way to stave off the ravages of age. Dr. Aslan traveled abroad to lecture and to promote Gerovital and Aslavital, another youth treatment she developed.
Among the famous people who took her treatments - or were widely reported to have done so - were Gen. Charles de Gaulle, Nikita S. Khrushchev, Indira Gandhi, Marshal Tito and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany, as well as the actresses Lillian Gish and Marlene Dietrich.
The great majority of scientists outside Rumania dismissed Gerovital as another false fountain of youth. The medical establishment in Britain and the United States, including the National Institutes of Health and the American Medical Association, found it had no merit, and the Food and Drug Administration refused to sanction it. Nevertheless, a few scientists, including the noted endocrinologist Albert C. Simard of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, hailed Gerovital as a wonder drug.
Dr. Aslan herself refused to claim credit for rejuvenating specific celebrities, but neither did she deny extravagant claims by her supporters. A woman who in her 60's and 70's appeared 30 years younger, she was variously reported as having been born between 1896 and 1898.

Dr. Ana Aslan & GH3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The remainder of this page concerns a product marketed by Aslan. A thorough review of biomedical research literature shows no empirical or peer-reviewed evidence that this product, under any formulation, prevents or postpones any aspect of aging. Further, there is evidence that the pharmaceutical ingredients of this product pose the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular complications, as well as a risk of serious systemic allergic reactions.
The Gerovital H3 concept was introduced for the first time in 1957, in Verona, Italy, on the occasion of the 4th International Gerontology Congress. Many scientists from the USA , Germany , England, Japan, Italy, Austria and Romania have studied and confirmed the effects of the Gerovital H3 treatment suggested by Prof. Dr. Ana Aslan.[citation needed] In the 60’s the Gerovital H3 treatment became viewed by many to be a scientific certitude (which, readers should note, is an oxymoron, though certainly pedantic enough to appear credible to consumers), a high value anti-aging treatment.[citation needed]
Notables such as French President Charles De Gaulle, U.S. President John F. Kennedy, West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Chinese Chairman Mao Zedong, and Vietnamese Chairman Ho Chi Minh traveled to Romania to attempt to benefit from this anti-aging therapy.[citation needed] Other well-known people, including actresses Marlene Dietrich, Lillian Gish, the Gabor sisters, actors Charlie Chaplin and Kirk Douglas, and artist Salvador Dalí followed the same path.[citation needed]. Once discovered by these celebrities, Gerovital itself became famous and is now used in over twenty countries around the world for its claimed anti-aging properties.[citation needed]
Ana Aslan’s research activity received many international distinctions, for example:
- “Cross of Merit” – First Class of the Order of Merit, Germany, 1971
- “Cavalier de la Nouvelle Europe” Prize Oscar, Italy, 1973
- “Les Palmes Academiques”, France, 1974
- “honorary Foreign Citizen and Honorary Professor of Sciences”, Philippines , 1978
- “Member Honoris Causa” Diploma of the Bohemo-Slovakian Society of Gerontology, 1981
- “Leon Bernard” Prize, important distinction granted by the World Health Organization upon nomination and endorsement by officials of a member state (in this case by the Romanian Nicolae Ceauşescu) for contributing to the development of gerontology and geriatrics, 1982
Counter arguments to the positive effects of the drug are often based on the fact that drugs containing procaine, as does the original GH3, are not approved by the FDA.
Besides the Gerovital H3 Medicine, Ana Aslan also developed Anti Aging cosmetics lines. The original recipes for the preparation of the cosmetics are still respected today by Farmec (Romanian Company), which received the rights from Ana Aslan to produce the Gerovital cosmetics.
The Gerovital cosmetics products include several lines for skin care, hair care, eye care etc. Some of the cosmetics lines produced by Farmec from the original Ana Aslan recipes are: Gerovital H3, Gerovital Plant and Aslavital.
The Cosmetics do not have anything to do with the procaine drugs, are made of natural plant extracts, produced to high quality standards and are generally approved. (also by the FDA)

Gerovital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As with many scientific discoveries, the claimed regenerative potential of the anesthetic procaine, a primary ingredient, came to light by accident. Over the years, physicians using it reported unusual and unexpected effects in patients.[1] Arthritis sometimes would improve, hair would re-grow or recolor, and skin quality often would improve. These reports came for the most part from surgeons, who were not particularly interested in gerontology.[citation needed]
Ana Aslan, MD was a Doctor of the National Institute of Gerontology and Geriatrics in Romania. She was the first to seriously investigate the possibilities of procaine as a tool in the fight against aging. Dr Aslan recognised that procaine in a sense "attacks" the body's cells by numbing them. The body counterattacks with the enzyme cholinesterase. Cholinesterase hydrolyses the procaine in about one hour (66`±14`). Dr Aslan speculated that the compound could be stabilised so that it would not numb the cells. The body would not then reject it and the regenerative effects would be extended.[citation needed]
This notion launched her on a research mission lasting two years. In 1951 she had perfected a procaine product called Gerovital H3 (often called G.H.3 for short). It contained antioxidants and stabilising agents.
Claims coming out of the Institute's clinics for the next few years were viewed as outlandish. Patients treated with GH3 supposedly showed improvements in circulatory function, skin elasticity, ulcers, Parkinsonism, arthritis, hair loss, senility, memory, muscular power, lung capacity and depression. According to the reports, practically all ageing phenomena diminished in severity with GH3.[citation needed]
Development and marketing
It was developed in Romania by Ana Aslan (January 1, 1897 – May 20, 1988). The main active ingredient is the well-known local anesthetic procaine hydrochloride, (often referred to by the old brand name, Novocaine). It also contains small amounts of benzoic acid, potassium metabisulfite and disodium phosphate which are said to be important in the formulation, rendering it more effective by "stabilizing" it. Some advocates acknowledge that despite the stabilizers, the procaine in Gerovital H3 breaks down rapidly into DMAE and PABA, but ascribe the beneficial effects to these breakdown products.From the 1950s until her death in 1988, Aslan promoted Gerovital H3 with great success. In the 1960s and 1970s her Romanian clinic, the Parhon Institute, became a mecca for celebrities seeking treatment, and an upscale tourist attraction. The New York Times referred to Gerovital's "jet-set aura," noting that Aslan had been covered in "society columns where such public figures as Nikita S. Khrushchev, Konrad Adenauer, and Ibn Saud have been listed among the multitudes said to have taken the drug." As late as 1988 an advertisement by the Romanian National Tourist Office lauded "the picturesque and exciting cities, scenic delights, famous resorts (including Gerovital H3 treatment centers), cultural and historic treasures that await the traveler to Romania."[2]
Denouncement
A 1973 New York Times article said "cold water was thrown on [Gerovital]'s reputation years ago" by "three reports published simultaneously in British Medical Journal [that] found no merit for procaine hydrochloride for any of the problems of aging."[3]A flurry of clinical trials in the mid-to-late 1970s suggests that Gerovital H3 acts as a weak, competitive, reversible MAO inhibitor, and so may have some antidepressant value, but otherwise has negligible effect on disease (see Clinical Trials, below).
In 1994, the U.S. FDA Consumer magazine said: "No health claims for Gerovital have been substantiated, and FDA considers it an unapproved new drug. It has caused low blood pressure, respiratory difficulties, and convulsions in some users."[4] Suppliers assert that the product is safe, and one cites a brief quotation from a newspaper article that says "while as early as 1973 Elmer Gardner of the FDA's Bureau of Drugs stated 'There is no safety problem with Gerovital H-3.'"[5]

- "[...]The treatment with Gerovital H3 according to A. Aslan's method gave very good results in the treatment of diseases like: heart ischemia, systemic arteriosclerosis, predominant cerebral arteriosclerosis, arteriosclerotic Parkinsons disease; obvious results were also obtained in the treatment of psychical disturbances related to arteriosclerosis. The comparison with the control group (patients with placebo) emphasized the good results of the treatment of Aslan: Gerovital H3."

- "Twenty-five volunteers, all in their fifth decade or beyond, all with mild to moderate, nonpsychotic depression of at least several months' duration participated in a double-blind study of Gerovital vs placebo. There was no significant difference between the Gerovital and placebo groups; both groups showed significant improvement on self-rating as well as observer rating scales."

- "This article is a review and evaluation of the world literature on the systemic use of procaine in the treatment of the aging process and the common chronic diseases of later life. Included are data from 285 articles and books, describing treatment in more than 100,000 patients in the past 25 years. Except for a possible antidepressant effect, there is no convincing evidence that [Gerovital] has any value in the treatment of disease in older patients. If procaine has an antidepressant effect, there is some likelihood that this accounts for the reports of decreased complaints referable to the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, endocrine sexual, gastrointestinal and respiratory systems."

-
- "Gerovital was compared with placebo and another procaine preparation in a double blind study of 88 rehabilitation patients suffering from back or hip disease. [...] In patients treated with Gerovital or another procaine no clinical, physiological or psychological benefits were found in addition to the improvements following rehabilitation compared with placebo treatment. Clinical examination showed that the benefits of rehabilitation were similar in patients receiving Gerovital, another procaine and placebo."

-
- "Studies on liver homogenates obtained from Wistar rats revealed that the ageing process produces the loss of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and higher values in the thermolabile fraction of this enzyme. The biotrophic treatment with Gerovital H3 has a strong influence upon glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase with tendency to diminish the thermolabile fractions."

-
- "A specially stabilized form of procaine hydrochloride (Gerovital H3) has been shown to be a more potent inhibitor of monoamine oxidase than procaine HCl itself and a weaker inhibitor of this enzyme than iproniazid. [...] Analysis of studies using Lineweaver-Burk and Dixon plots revealed that Gerovital H3 was a fully competitive inhibitor of monoamine oxidase. That Gerovital H3 is a weak, reversible, competitive inhibitor of monoamine oxidase [(MAO inhibitor)] may explain the absence of adverse reactions associated with the clinical use of Gerovital H3 as compared to the severe adverse reactions that have been associated with the use of irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors."

- "The inhibitory effect of procaine hydrochloride and Gerovital-H3 on monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in the rat brain was studied at six time points during the 24-hour cycle. It was found that the percent inhibition is time dependent. Both drugs showed maximum inhibition when the MAO activity was at the lowest values during the 24-hour period. In addition to time dependence, these drugs are also age dependent because the MAO activity varies with age."

-
- "Intravenous injection of Gerovital H3 and procaine (20 mg/kg b.w.) into white Wistar rats anaesthetized with nembutal (40 mg/kg b.w.) produces a constant decrease of the wave frequency, more visible at the level of the lateral hypothalamus, but also present in the midbrain reticular formation (the two subcortical nervous structures studied). The wave amplitude is also decreased, especially in the lateral hypothalamus, but the differences gradually recover, a fact more visible in the case of Gerovital H3. Aslavital has similar effects on the wave amplitude, whereas the changes produced in the wave frequency are generally more superficial and transitory. Moreover, the frequency variations in the reticular formation are opposite to those observed in the lateral hypothalamus (i.e., an increase instead of a decrease). Direct intrahypothalamic administration of the drugs (16 micrograms procaine/animal) induces a pattern of responses which is generally opposite to that observed for intravenous injection. Also, the changes produced in the lateral hypothalamus are more superficial this time. An opposition between the effects of Aslavital and of the other two drugs can be observed in this case for the wave amplitude, which is usually increased by procaine and Gerovital H3 and decreased by Aslavital. In many cases, Aslavital induces a burst of positive sharp waves reminiscent of the epileptiform abnormality. The differences observed are tentatively explained by us in terms of dose, drug composition and selective action upon different nervous structures."

- "Procaine chloride, which was a common cause of allergic reactions in earlier years, has lost importance as a contact allergen because its use for local anesthesia has ceased. Recently, we have seen hypersensitivity reactions in three patients after the use of Gerovital, which is known to contain procaine chloride. A word of warning is warranted against indiscriminate use of Gerovital, particularly of its topical preparations."

Drug or nutrient?
Procaine itself is universally considered to be a drug. Earlier references by advocates of Gerovital H3 always refer to it as a drug. Hoffer and Walker (1980) call it a "youth drug." Mircea Dumitru, Dr. Aslan's colleague and personal physician, describes it as "a complex drug acting like the procaine molecule ... The addition of benzoic acid, potassium and disodium phosphate increase the effects of Gerovital-H3 biotrophic treatment."[6] Web-based suppliers outside and inside the United States, that offer to ship the preparation to the U.S. generally characterize it as a "nutrient" "vitamin" or "Dietary Supplement", perhaps because of less strict legal treatment of nutritional supplements in the U. S. under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. A federal court in decision June 17, 1994, US vs Rodger Sless/TMI classified GeroVital H3 as a dietary supplement.[citation needed]Quality control
It is notable that virtually every company claiming to supply Gerovital H3 to the U. S. warns of widespread distribution of fake formulations. Many companies suggest that products supplied by its competitors are phony (while asserting that they and only they are the only supplier of the real Romanian formula).- One company says it sells "real" Gerovital H3 and warns that "the American market is flooded with fake GH3."
- Another says it has "the ONLY ORIGINAL FORMULA BEING IMPORTED TO USA."
- A third says "Beware of the many phony GH3's... we are the only company willing and able to supply documented proof of our GH3's authenticity."
FDA Ban
As of 2004[update], the FDA's 1982 automatic detention alert is still in effect and bans the import of Gerovital H3 into the U.S. as "a new drug within the meaning of 201(p), without an approved new drug application [Unapproved New Drug, Section 505(a)]."[8]The ban covers:
- Gerovital, GH3, KH3, Zell H3, GH3 etc. This order was rescinded for GEROVITAL Cosmetics Lines, not containing procaine.
- finished injectable or oral Procaine Hydrochloride
2003 UK Trademark revocation
In the UK the term "Gerovital H3" was formerly considered to be a trademark of Prof Dr. A. Aslan, registered to Gerovital Cosmetics SA, but the trademark was challenged in 2003 by Societatea Comercială “Farmec” SA and subsequently revoked.[9]References
