We are eager to see many athletes participating in the program move one step closer to achieving their Olympic dreams!

Michelle “Mickie” Rzepka and Erin Pac, represent the USA in Women’s Bobsled. Rzepka joined the World Cup circuit during her rookie year. In just two seasons, Rzepka has pushed her way to top ten finishes in seven of eight World Cup races. In January 2005, Pac was recognized along with the U.S. Women’s Bobsled Team as the USOC Team of the Month. In November, Rzepka and Pac won a bronze medal at the World Cup in Whistler, BC, home of the 2010 Olympics.

New to LifeWave is USA Bobsledder, Steve Langton. After watching the 2006 Olympic Games, he filled out an athlete resume online and attended a summer recruitment camp in Lake Placid, N.Y. It wasn’t long before he earned a spot on the World Cup circuit in his first competitive season and was named the 2008 Rookie of the Year.

Costanza Zanoletti and Skeleton teammate Maurizio Oioli from Italy finished 5th and 12th respectively at the 2006 Olympic Games. This year, they are Italy’s best chances to win a medal in Vancouver. While training in Lake Placid, N.Y., Oioli consulted Dr. Karen Kan regarding a chronic injury. At the time he was extremely worried that his Olympic hopes were dashed, but after using IceWave for a couple of weeks, Skeleton coach Tim Nardiello exclaimed, “He’s FINE! He’s happy again.” In fact, the entire Italian Skeleton team got “patched” during their quick visit to Lake Placid.

Twenty-year-old Speed Skater, Trevor Marsicano, might be the fastest-rising American athlete heading into Vancouver. A year ago, he was a virtual unknown and in March became the first American to claim four medals at a World Single Distance Championships. Trevor heads into the 2010 Olympic Winter Games as one of the world’s best skaters.

We’d like to thank our LifeWave team based in Lake Placid, N.Y. and led by Karen Kan, M.D., for the opportunity to share our LifeWave technology with these elite athletes. Let’s all unite in sending positive vibes and cheering these athletes on to experiencing their best performances at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games!

Suzanne Somers’ new book Knockout hit book shelves this October.

In this latest work, Suzanne shares the visions of eight doctors who say they are curing cancer using non-drug methods. “Knockout” continues Suzanne’s study into cutting edge research and technology in the field of healthcare and her quest to find natural, drug-free alternatives for promoting long life and health.

In the first section of the book, Suzanne interviews the doctors who are utilizing non-drug methods in the treatment of cancer. The section interweaves compelling stories of people who have used these alternative methods and beaten the odds. In the second section, Suzanne discusses the ways that lifestyle choices contribute to cancer and what you can do about it. The book ends with a bonus 30-day diet and lifestyle plan for preventing cancer.

David Schmidt, Founder & CEO of LifeWave, was featured in Suzanne Somers’ book Breakthrough, which marked the beginning of a strong relationship and proved such a great success that Suzanne interviewed David again for her new book. During the interview David speaks about the Y-Age Glutathione patch, which has been shown to help remove harmful toxins from the body.

Suzanne is the author of 18 books on health and wellness topics, including eight bestsellers. A breast cancer survivor, she has become a staunch advocate for an anti-pharmaceutical approach to healthcare.

Suzanne Somers & David Schmidt Teleconference

For 5 exciting and action packed days, LifeWave leaders, staff and members from around the world joined Suzanne Somers and her team to commemorate 5 years of success and growth for our company! They celebrated LifeWave’s anniversary in style, cruising the Caribbean aboard a sleek new Italian cruise liner, the MSC Poesia. During the cruise, LifeWave members had opportunities for both leisure and business.

They took ample advantage of the cruise liner’s 18 decks to dance, dine, lounge, celebrate and meet one another. They also had a chance to hear the latest LifeWave business and product advancements. Off the ship, they explored the turquoise waters and tropical landscapes of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. But, most importantly, they had an opportunity to develop long-lasting friendships and invaluable camaraderie with one another!

Here are some of the highlights of this unforgettable LifeWave journey:

On November 10, the MSC Poesia embarked from Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., with great excitement, anticipation and celebration. Five years ago, on this very date, LifeWave embarked on its own journey – as a company. The LifeWave staff gathered that evening to celebrate the momentous occasion with a champagne toast. Later, LifeWave members assembled in the beautiful cruise liner theatre, the Teatro Carlo Felice, for a cruise welcome featuring Suzanne Somers, who gave a gracious welcome to LifeWave.

On November 11, Suzanne kicked off the day’s events with a presentation on Health and Hormones. David Schmidt, LifeWave Founder & CEO, joined her on stage for the first time to deliver a riveting talk on the impact of antioxidants on anti-aging. The speech not only sparked the interest of the crowd on hand, but word of LifeWave’s technology quickly spread to the rest of the cruise population who were keen to hear more throughout the duration of the cruise.

On November 12, the MSC Poesia docked in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, where the travelers had an opportunity to explore the island’s breathtaking landscape. One of the highlights of the stop was a trip to the Dunn’s River Falls, where several members climbed the falls and swam in the rushing waters.

That night, LifeWave held a VIP reception for top earners which was attended by a special guest, Suzanne Somers. Suzanne gave an address in which she expressed her enthusiasm for LifeWave and her excitement for co-hosting the cruise. Afterward, Suzanne graciously spent more than an hour posing for photographs with our members.

On November 13, the MSC Poesia arrived in Georgetown, Grand Cayman, where members explored the seemingly endless stretch of beach, toured the charming city and met underground sea creatures in crystal clear waters.

Later, back on the MSC Poesia, members gathered in the Pigalle Lounge where David presented the full launch of our revolutionary new weight loss system, SP6 Complete. After the debut of the new SP6 Complete product video, David opened the floor to questions and a thorough and informative discussion followed. We’ve received tremendous feedback on this new product and are enthusiastic to get SP6 Complete out to as many of our members as possible!

That evening, guests were treated to a special musical performance by Suzanne Somers in the Teatro Carlo Felice. The multi-talented actress, comedienne, health leader and singer captivated the crowd with a set of her favorite numbers. Suzanne also spoke about her mission to promote long life and health through natural, drug-free methods; she highlighted the role LifeWave has played in helping achieve that goal.

On November 14, the cruise wrapped up with the most powerful recognition event we have ever had. LifeWave had an opportunity to recognize those who have contributed most to building this business to new heights. Among those who were recognized were our leaders, our US and French Advisory Boards, as well as three of our founding distributors – George Hoagland, David Jumper and Chuck Michel. We also recognized our cruise contest winners, who earned an invitation to the cruise through hard work.

The recognition meeting culminated with the first presentation of the Richard Quick Pursuit of Excellence Award. June Quick, Richard’s wife, was invited to speak and, with tears in her eyes, she moved the audience with her elegant and eloquent words about the values that Richard stood for. Together, David and June then presented the Richard Quick Pursuit of Excellence Award to Presidential Director, Chuck Michel. In his acceptance speech, Chuck spoke not only about the virtues that Richard championed and instilled in those he touched, but also about the caring and concern Richard showed for him personally as he was launching his business.

But, that wasn’t the end of this momentous event. David was taken by surprise as his staff, with the enthusiastic support of our entire field, presented him with a commemorative crystal sculpture to celebrate LifeWave’s 5-year anniversary. Among those in attendance was David’s father, Felix Schmidt, who watched with pride. The recognition event was followed by a final dinner on the ship, celebration and dancing into the late hours!

If you ask those who attended the 5-Year Anniversary Cruise about what they got out of the trip, you might hear a few different answers. Our members had an opportunity for leisure, an opportunity to learn more about LifeWave and an opportunity to learn more about the world of alternative healthcare outside of LifeWave. The cruise also provided our members with a business opportunity as they introduced our products to the cruise population: David quips, “more LifeWave members got off the ship than got on.”

But one common thread emerges for all who attended the cruise: the trip presented an opportunity for members from all around the world (from Australia, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Iceland, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Israel and Morocco, just to name a few!) to build strong relationships and long-lasting friendships. In many cases, individuals who have been working together for years and communicating by email, phone and Skype had an opportunity to meet face-to-face for the very first time!

Here are some words from our members about their experience:

“The cruise was a great experience, enriching and fulfilling… only on such an occasion, offering lots of time free, can we have a chance to meet with people from around the world and share as much as we did… this cruise was a fantastic event that I would have hated to miss. I long for the next anniversary and event.” – Phil Steinberg

“The bonding that went on was invaluable. We developed long-lasting relationships with people that we have been working with for years and got to meet for the first time.” – Mark Diamond

“I have three favorite aspects of the trip: one, getting to spend quality time with company leaders; two, I really enjoyed the LifeWave recognition ceremony. It was very inspiring; and, three, I was pleasantly surprised to find how many people already knew me from my LifeWave YouTube videos!” – Dr. Karen Kan

“Wow! Thank you for putting together such a fantastic experience last week on the Suzanne Cruise! I am so excited and pumped up with LifeWave and can’t wait to spread my excitement with my team.” – George Chiu

“What an experience we had on the MSC Poesia Cruise Liner. Not only Celebrities like Suzanne Somers and David Schmidt were on the ship, but I have met with so many leaders from all over the world and we have been sharing about Lifewave and business development as well.” – Roy Surjono

“The highlight of the cruise was meeting distributors from all over the world that I’ve been in contact with, but never had an opportunity to meet in person. It was also an incredible marketing opportunity, and that’s something I didn’t expect! We had an opportunity to introduce LifeWave to people who had never heard of our products before. This is something we definitively need to do every year.” – Dr. Quila Rider

It’s impossible to put a value on the exchange of ideas, positive experiences and relationships that developed as a result of this cruise. The event was such a success that we will surely be planning another for the future!

For those of you who missed this trip (and for those of you who want to relive the events of those memorable 5 days), we will be coming out with a video of the cruise events soon. A videographer was present to capture both official moments (such as our SP6 launch) and unofficial moments (such as your best dance moves). We are also receiving photos from members from all around the world and you will have a chance to view those on the this website shortly!

We can’t wait to see you at the next big LifeWave event!

How does carnosine prolong life span? We do not yet know the full answer, but carnosine’s properties may point up key mechanisms of tissue and cell aging, as well as the anti-aging measures that counteract them.

Do carnosine’s rejuvenating effects on cells extend to the entire organism? Similar anti-senescence effects have now been demonstrated in mice. A Russian study tested the effect of carnosine on life span and indicators of senescence in senescence-accelerated mice. Half the mice were given carnosine in their drinking water starting at two months of age. Carnosine extended the life span of the treated mice by 20% on average, compared to the mice not fed carnosine.

Carnosine did not alter the 15 month maximum life span of the senescence-accelerated mice strain, but it did significantly raise the number of mice surviving to old age. The mice given carnosine were about twice as likely to reach the ”ripe old age” of 12 months as untreated mice. It also improved indicators of senescence measured at the ”old age” of ten months.

Carnosine distinctly improved the appearance of the aged mice, whose coat fullness and colour remained much closer to that of young animals. Significantly more carnosine-treated mice had glossy coats (44% vs. 5%), while significantly fewer had skin ulcers (14% vs. 36%). However, carnosine did not affect the loss or texture of hair. Carnosine significantly reduced the rates of spinal lordokyphosis (spinal curvature) and periopthalmic lesions, but did not affect corneal opacities.

The sharpest contrast between the treated and untreated mice was seen in their behaviour. Only 9% of the untreated mice displayed normal behavioural reactivity, compared to 58% of the carnosine treated mice.

The researchers also measured biochemical indicators associated with brain aging. Brain membranes of the carnosine treated mice had significantly lower levels of MDA (malondialdehyde), a highly toxic product of membrane lipid oxidation. MAO-B (monoamine oxidase B) activity was 44% lower in the carnosine-treated mice, indicating maintenance of dopamine metabolism. Glutamate binding to its cellular receptors nearly doubled in the carnosine treated group. Since glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter, this may explain the more normal behavioural reactivity of the carnosine-fed mice.

This study showed that carnosine significantly improved most measures of appearance, physiological health, behaviour, and brain biochemistry—as well as extended life span—in senescence-accelerated mice. The researchers therefore conclude that ”carnosine-treated animals can be characterized as more resistant to the development of features of aging” (Boldyrev AA et al., 1999).

For more information on how to build your own “Carnosine” levels, in an easy, non-invasive, non-transdermal patch – please call: Dr. Joan Norton, D.C.

I believe that Carnosine may be the “Fountain of Youth” that many have spent thousands, if not millions, of dollars to discover.  Clinical research has found that Carnosine may be the principle nutrient for keeping the body young as we grow older.  

As we age, our cells accumulate metabolic waste, which accumulates in the cells.  When waste accumulates in cells it disrupts the function of the cells.  Carnosine cleans out and renews the cells and the result is the “old” cell acts like a young and healthy cell.

Many people that have used the LifeWave Carnosine patch have reported remarkable improvements in wellness and physical performance even within a few days of use.

Here are some of the FACTS about Carnosine and its benefits in an anti-aging program.

• Carnosine is a material that is found naturally in the human body.
• As we age our bodies levels of Carnosine start to decline.
• Studies on Carnosine show that it can protect the brain from plaque (one of the causes of Alzheimer’s disease)
• Studies on Carnosine show that it protects our DNA better than any other nutrient
• Carnosine has the unique ability to turn old cells into young and healthy cells
• Carnosine is known to accelerate wound healing through repair of connective tissue
• Patents have been issued for using Carnosine to improve athletic performance; this is possible because Carnosine helps to prevent the build up of lactic acid in our muscles.

There are many Carnosine supplements on the market, but clinical research shows that common Carnosine pills, powders and drinks can only elevate blood Carnosine levels by trivial amounts in 30 days.

Because the LifeWave technology triggers metabolic changes within your own cells, the Carnosine patch goes to work right away and is effective even within the first 24 hours of use. 

I believe that the LifeWave Carnosine Patch is much more powerful than any other method of elevating Carnosine levels.

Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) and Aging

Carnosine is a combination of the amino acids beta-alanine and l-histadine. Carnosine is a strong antioxidant but has even greater importance because it blocks the process of glycation. When sugars combine with protein, they may produce damaging substances called advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). These AGEs interact with adjacent proteins resulting in impaired function, free radical formation and accelerated aging. Carnosine is a very effective inhibitor of glycation. This works by competing with protein for binding sites on sugar molecules. Carnosine is also thought to bind already produced AGEs so they get removed. This process slows aging so it is quite important. Benefits from carnosine therapy include:

• Restores fibroblasts to connective tissue, which decreases wrinkles, improves damaged skin elasticity, and speeds healing of wounds.
• Diabetics have more AGEs at an earlier age than non-diabetics. Carnosine may protect against diabetic complications.
• Prevents cross-linking to beta amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease, inhibits free radical production in the brain, and protects against lipid peroxidation.
• May help the body eradicate h. pylori, the ulcer causing bacteria
• Rejuvenates old cells, extending cell life span, which should benefit longevity (proven in mice).
• Improves vision in most persons with cataracts.
• Revitalizes fibroblasts, thus blocking aging of skin (wrinkles).

Carnosine is found in health food stores. The total dose is 1000 mg daily taken in divided doses. This should be a valuable supplement for all diabetics and all persons over 50 years of age.

BREAKTHROUGH!  

LifeWave  is  pleased  to  announce  that  DAVID  SCHMIDT  is  a  featured  scientist  in  Suzanne  Somers  new  Book  BREAKTHROUGH!   In  fact,  an  ENTIRE  CHAPTER  in  this  book  is  dedicated  to  David  Schmidt  and  LifeWave!  

Here  is  a  brief  description  of  her  new  book:  

“In  interviews  with  the  most  progressive  doctors  in  the  field  of  anti‐aging  medicine,  #1  New  York  Times  bestselling  author  and  trusted  health  advocate  Suzanne  Somers  uncovers  enlightening,  lifesaving  information.   Spending  the  time  that  you  just  won’t  have  with  your  own  doctor  in  today’s  challenged  medical  environment,  she  shares  the  8  STEPS  TO  WELLNESS  formed  from  the  extensive  research  she’s  done  with  these  physicians  practicing  “Breakthrough”  medicine.”  

Here  are  a  few  excerpts  from  Suzanne’s  book,  and  what  she  has  to  say  about  David  Schmidt  and  LifeWave:  

David  Schmidt  is  a  scientist,  the  inventor  of  the  LifeWave  technology  and  founder  of  the  LifeWave  nanotechnology  patches.   As  a  result  of  work  performed  for  the  design  of  emergency  Oxygen  systems  for  General  Dynamics  and  the  U.S.  Navy,  he  was  invited  to  participate  in  the  Navy’s  next‐generation  minisub  program.   He  has  received  an  honorary  doctorate  from  the  International  Hall  of  Fame.   He  was  formally  educated  in  management  information  systems  and  biology  at  Pace  University  in  Pleasantville,  New  York.   He  went   on  to  specialize  in  energy  production  technologies  for  both  military  and  commercial  applications.   He  developed  new  methods  for  producing  hydrogen  and  oxygen  and  constructed  metal  combustion  rocket  engines.  

  In  other  words,  this  is  one  smart  guy.   In  this  interview  David  will  explain  in  layman’s  terms  the  science  behind  his  remarkable  LifeWave  nanotechnology  patches.   I  have  been  using  these  nondrug  patches  for  pain,  sleep,  energy,  appetite  control,  and  detoxification  for  the  past  two  years  and  I  can’t  say  enough  about  them.   After  you  read  this  interview  you  are  going  to  want  to  run  to  his  website  to  get  some  for  yourself.   Sometimes  things  are  too  good  to  be  true;  these  patches  are  simply  good  and  true.  

Not  only  this,  but  Suzanne  Somers  will  also  be  conducting  interviews  in  Canada  and  the  United  States  with  such  well  know  shows  as  Nightline,  Good  Morning  America,  the  Today  Show  and  Larry  King,  and  she  will  be  talking  about  the  life  changing  experiences  she  has  had  with  LifeWave!  

Tucson, Arizona – The big threat to growth in the next decade is not oil or food prices, but the rising cost of health care. Due to increasing health care costs, and impending changes in Congress for a national health care plan, more Americans are turning to preventative care.

Imagine being able to tell your body to “burn more fat” or “reduce that pain” or “slow down my aging process” or “sleep soundly” with a simple non-invasive medical device. A new breakthrough technology does just that, and without introducing chemicals, herbs, drugs or physical devices into the body.

David Schmidt, inventor of this cutting-edge technology and founder and CEO of the LifeWave company, will speak at a special conference on Saturday, July 25 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Westin La Paloma Resort, 3800 East Sunrise Drive, Tucson, Arizona. The public is invited to attend the event to learn how the LifeWave patch technology enhances human health and holds the promise of a host of other products that can address and solve human health problems.

Schmidt will be joined by Dr. Dean Clark D.C. from Portland, Oregon, and other guest speakers, including Mike Collins, president of LifeWave. A reception also will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. at La Paloma Resort.

Schmidt holds degrees in management information systems and biology, and has 20 years experience in research and product development. He has developed new methods for producing Hydrogen and Oxygen, designed and prototyped multi-fueled bladeless turbine power generation systems, and constructed metal-combustion rocket engines. As a result of work performed in Dr. Alexander Marinaccio of the International Hall of Fame.the design of emergency Oxygen systems for General Dynamics and the U.S. Navy, Schmidt was invited to participate in the Navy’s next generation mini-sub program.

Schmidt’s LifeWave patch technology was born out of three years of intense research on the concept of being able to naturally increase energy and stamina through elevation of fat-burning utilizing wireless communication to the human body.

Tickets to the conference are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Charge for the evening reception is $20 in advance or $25 at the door. To purchase tickets, or for more information, call (520) 325-4881 or email joan@healfastertherapies.com.

LifeWave patches are unlike any other patch technology currently sold. While other patches placed on the skin deliver substances into the body, the LifeWave patches are nontransdermal. That means nothing enters the body from the patches – no chemicals, no drugs, no needles.
