Rapid Learning and Memory Breakthroughs of the 21st Century

Oral, Safe and Effective, Growth Factor Approaches

Learning involves changes in skills and conceptualization of various ideas. Memory is the retention and recollection of ideas and knowledge along with extrapolation from experience and thoughts/sensations. There is one specific brain region responsible for memory and learning, the hippocampus. When we want to learn rapidly and effectively there are new natural medicines that specifically support our successful achievement of these goals directly related to strengthening the functioning of the hippocampus.

The body and mind are intimately connected. The nervous, hormonal (endocrine) and immune systems talk to each other using a common language that coordinates their activities for internal balance throughout the body. That common language is comprised of a group of signaling proteins called neuro-peptides or growth factors, as referred to in text. Growth factors, including growth hormone, are small proteins in the body that carry information signals from cell-to-cell and information system to the other information systems

In order to retrieve these growth factor information signals, cells and neurons have antennae on the surface of their cell, called growth factor receptors. Figure 1 shows a picture of a cell with a receptor on the outside before and after activation by a growth factor. Once a growth factor activates a cell receptor its job is complete.

Figure 1 - Growth factor specific cell surface receptors before and after activation.

The growth factor never has to enter the cell. The cell receptor carries the message inside to the DNA by using a series of tag team messengers each handing off information to the next until the information influences the DNA to change its behavior (in this case learns something new). Without a growth factor activating the cell receptor, vital nutrients are not able to enter and benefit the cell. Thus, neurons and cells won't work optimally without growth factor signaling.

Learning and memorizing become more difficult as we age, especially beyond 32 years, because growth factor signaling slows down. Age-related changes in two very important growth factors, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and human growth hormone (hGH) are well documented. Over time, declines in these growth factors decrease neuronal function. IGF-1 and hGH contribute to hippocampal functions such as memory and learning. HGH was found to be particularly important to the speed at which information is processed and to lean body mass . Blocks to IGF-1 impair learning and memory. Higher levels of IGF-1 associate with higher levels of cognitive performance.³

Another set of growth factors known to directly influence rapid learning in the hippocampus are fibroblast growth factor -1 and -2, FGF1 and FGF2. These two FGF molecules contribute to, and are necessary for, learning; as well as short and long-term memory. In a preliminary study testing oral FGF2 in children who have cognitive impairments it was found that understanding of abstract concepts rapidly improved. FGF1 and FGF2 support outgrowth of new neurons and improve feedback communication between neurons.

Biomed Comm,^® Inc. . has combined the safety of 18th Century homeopathy with the effectiveness of 21st century biotechnology to enable consumers to optimize their health naturally.

Biomed Comm,^® Inc. conducted double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical studies on oral and safe homeopathic hGH and IGF-1 , . These studies showed that Cell Signal Enhancer^®(CSE^®) medicines named Athletic Edge (6X +12C hGH), Naturally hGH (6C + 100C + 200C), Endurance Plus (30C IGF-1) and Natural Menopause Relief (6C IGF-1) were significant in their psychological and neurological functions.

In a small, pre-grant , pilot study with twelve autistic children between 3-19 years old, Biomed Comm,^® Inc tested the ability of CSE^®-FGF2 to improve cognition as observed by parents of the children. The results were impressive.

For rapid learning under stress Biomed Comm,^® Inc recommends:
CSE^®-Athletic Edge
CSE^®-Natural Menopause Relief
CSE^®-FGF1

For maintenance programs for sharp minds, calmed nerves and optimal on-going mental performance Biomed Comm,^® Inc recommends:
CSE^®-Naturally hGH
CSE^®-Endurance Plus
CSE^®-FGF2
