2. Gerovital: is Aging Reversal Possible?
Speaking for the first time before an audience composed of
Western scientists and doctors in 1956, Dr. Ana Aslan, astounded
the medical profession with her disclosures that Gerovital
could revolutionize the treatment of the aged. Dr. Aslan stated
that procaine can benefit victims of arthritis, arteritis
(inflammation of the arteries), cerebral arterioscleros (hardening
of the brain arteries), trophic ulcers (ulcers due to improper
nutrition in a particular portion of the body), alopecia (baldness),
senile Parkinsonism, loss of hearing, ringing in the ears,
noises in the ears, those who do not benefit from hearing
aids, loss of eyesight due to aging with blurred vision, scant
vision, poor eyesight, high blood pressure, defective heart
conditions, those suffering from schizophrenia, ichthyosis,
senile keratosis, dermatosclerosis, psoriasis, rashes and
leucoderma.

The therapy, stated Dr. Aslan, repigmented existing hair, improved
muscle tone, improved failing memory, improved the central activity
of the nervous system, improved cardiovascular reaction to stress
and increased oxygen consumption. It can restore the use of limbs
to those suffering from a stroke. Dr. Aslan found from her treatments
and experiments that procaine directly affects the cerebral cortex
and its dynamics, and acts on the whole nervous system. The dicephalon
centers, the spinal cord, peripheral nerves and metabolic processes
undergo trophic changes from the procaine treatment. Procaine is
noted to be a slow-acting when it is not used as an anesthetic.
The first few months show little or no effect.

Perhaps
one of the most favorable, significant observations was that the
cholesterol level of almost every patient receiving treatment was
brought down to normal. Many doctors believe that cholesterol found
in the arteries of people approaching old age is a prime factor
in the degenerative diseases of arteriosclerosis. Procaine activity
on cholesterol and its reduction from the arterial walls may be
due to its hydrotrophic action, characteristic of the chloride of
paraaminobenzoic acid.
-
Doctors are also treating this condition with higher dietary intake
of magnesium, pyridoxine HCL, and increasing the levels of organic
potassium and calcium. The dietary plan for retarding age symptoms
simple does not produce the same results for everyone. Now with
GH3 Dr. Aslan, as well as other gerontologists, was seeing new appearance,
mental well-being and reduced blood pressure. In some instances,
oral preparations were used with similar achievements. How pleasant
and simple and wonderful to provide for those wanting this help.

Dr.
Aslan summed up her talk before the Academy by saying that procaine
minimizes the feeling of sickness and leads to a heightened desire
and capacity for physical and mental activity. She further stated
that procaine therapy has restored the original color to grey hair.
After the treatments, in some people, the roots grow in according
to the natural color of their hair. People with blond heads of hair
once again possess heads of natural colored hair. In certain kinds
of baldness, the therapy has sometimes restored hair growth. Hearing
losses have been reduced in time except in those cases where there
is severe nerve cell damage.

Results
of European experiments show that procaine was observed to have
some bearing on the course of multiple sclerosis. These experiments
show it to be a potent drug in treating certain blood clots affecting
blood circulation. Dr. Aslan has tested the effects of procaine
on the human body for a longer period of time than have most other
medical doctors. Consequently, she has had the opportunity to observe
the many results of the drug. This Rumanian physician has stated
that the procaine therapy appears to have a stimulating effect on
the endocrine glands; she believes this is the fundamental physiological
effect of Gerovital H3 on the patients. This observation is further
substantiated when procaine is present into the blood stream; it
has a direct action on the body's nervous system. She says procaine
has a strong biocatalytic action affecting not only the cells in
the nervous system but on the higher centers of the brain. This
action aids a patient to recover partial losses of vision and improvement
in hearing.
-
Many times after undergoing a treatment,
a patient's eyes become brighter and hearing shows marked improvement.
Some authorities believe the breakdown of GH3 is responsible for
many reactions unknown at this time. The rapture of having one's
senses return almost to normal can be understood by all of us. The
energetic person wants to retain the knowledge of his years and
refuses to accept the limitation of lessened mental and physical
functions.
