How DOES
Poly-MVA Work?
to understand the benefits and features of poly-MVA
We need to start with “Mitochondria and Metabolism”
Mitochondria and our CELLS
Mitochondrial Function and its impact in Cancer Cell Development
“Decades ago, (Nobel Prize Winning Scientist) Otto Warburg observed that cancers ferment glucose in the presence of oxygen, suggesting that defects in mitochondrial respiration may be the underlying cause of cancer. Mitochondria supply energy, provide building blocks for new cells, and control redox homeostasis, oncogenic signaling, innate immunity and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Thus, mitochondria play a central and multi-functional role in malignant tumor progression, and targeting mitochondria provides therapeutic opportunities.”

Mitochondria’s direct link to Good and Bad Health
These brief Videos will help the viewer to better understand the direct and primary role that Mitochondrial Dysfunction plays in the “initiation and progression” of Cancer & Disease. By restoring, repairing and returning Mitochondria to a healthy normal status we can either return the cell to proper function or to turn the cell off through apoptosis, normal cell death.
“Damaged Mitochondria” linked to many health issues.

Starving cancer: Dominic D’Agostino at TEDx TampaBay
Dr. D’Agostino is an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida College Of Medicine, Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology where he develops and tests metabolic therapies, including alternative energy substrates and ketogenic agents for neurological disorders, cancer and wound healing. While studying the effects of gasses on the brains of Navy Seal divers, he developed an approach for metabolically starving cancer cells ….. an alternative and an adjunct to chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. |
SECTION #1
Mitochondrial Function Difference
Healthy/Normal Cell vs Cancer/Abnormal Cell
HEALTHY CELL
Aerobic “Normal Oxygen” Respiration
NORMAL MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION
* Mitochondria generate “high/energy” for the Healthy Cells

NORMOXIC STATE
Normal “oxygen and high energy (electron) production” within the
Mitochondria allows cell to perform all of its cellular functions!
CANCER CELL
Anaerobic “Low Oxygen” Respiration
IMPAIRED MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION
* Mitochondria STOP generating “sufficient energy” to sustain normal function

HYPOXIC STATE
Dramatically reduced “oxygen and low energy (electron) production” causes cell to switch over to anaerobic metabolism.
SECTION #2
Poly-MVA shuttles electrons directly to the Mitochondrial Complexes 1-4
Free Radical scavenger and Electron Donor, Redox Molecule

THE Power of Poly-MVA
The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (known as the ORAC value or score) is a method developed by scientists at the National Institute of Health and Aging (NIH) to measure the antioxidant capacity of different foods and compounds.
Whilst the exact relationship between the ORAC value of nutrients and its health benefit has not been fully established, it is generally understood that compounds with higher ORAC scores have greater antioxidant capacity, and more effectively neutralize/scavenge harmful free radicals.
According to the free-radical theory of ageing and disease, a high antioxidant intake from foods/compounds, will slow/balance the oxidative processes and free radical damage that contributes to age-related degeneration and disease.

SECTION #3
Poly-MVA Shuttles Electrons up regulating the Mitochondria:
“Healthy Cells” receive benefit/energy – “Cancer Cells” suffer damage/apoptosis
"Positive Impact" on a NORMAL CELL
Aerobic "Normal Oxygen" Respiration
POLY-MVA donates Electrons to Mitochondria
* Poly-MVA helps Mitochondria to generate “energy” to maintain , restore, repair and revitalize the Healthy Cell

NORMOXIC STATE
Poly-MVA's ability to re-supply the mitochondria with electrons, allows the cell to maintain "Energy and Optimal" Mitochondrial Function!
"Negative Impact" on a CANCER CELL
Anaerobic "Low Oxygen" Respiration
POLY-MVA donates Electrons to Mitochondria
* Mitochondria in this state, create oxygen radicals that either return the cell to normalcy or turn on the apoptotic cascade, cell death.

HYPOXIC STATE
Mitochondria in Cancer Cells are limited and not able to accept & redistribute the "electrons" which damages the cell and initiates Apoptosis!
