NIS Masters Seminar Vancouver 2018 - About the Speaker - Dr Paul Arciero
NIS has system protocols for the assessment of viral infections. These infections when left untreated play havoc with the nervous system and many other body systems. Not only do active viral infections bring with them an array of unpleasant symptoms and health related problems, but they leave their mark through damage to the cell’s DNA & RNA, membranes and intracellular constituents.
The Adaptogens are KEY ingredients in the formulation of IONIX Supreme. Adaptogens (in herbal medicine) a natural substance considered to help the body adapt to stress and a body under infectious "attack" is arguably one of the highest stresses to maintaining optimum function one can have.
We have detailed some of the key ingredients and research supporting the therapeutic effects of IONIX
See references below.
How do Adaptogens work?
1. Demonstrate Anti viral properties
2. Liver & Kidneys: detoxification of "dead or inactive" cells as a result of an immune response.
3. Antioxidant protection of body cells from the "aftermath" of infectious attack
4. Reducing CNS Sensitivity to the STRESS response.
How Adaptogens support NIS
NIS Practitioners have all experienced the weakness that occurs with disturbance or interference in the CNS during patient assessment, often referred to as "weak muscle test". This outcome occurs when the threshold of control of that specific nerve path is taken beyond it's threshold of function, so to limit potential damage to the CNS.
As you are aware, each gland or tissue has it's own unique threshold set by the CNS and is continually monitored in "realtime", forever sensitive to changes in the cellular environment in which it lives. When the gland or target tissue is stressed beyond what the CNS has set as "normal" for the individual, the result is a negative cascade of signs and symptoms that ultimately lead to dysfunction, pain and ill health.
This is where NIS is so VERY POWERFUL - the restoration of the CNS control and removal of nervous interference that restores "connectivity" to the target tissue. Applying NIS, produces a positive cascade of improved function, pain reduction which ultimately leads to improved health.
What if you could support the cellular environment of glands and tissues so that they have a "higher threshold" in the presence of a "stressful" event.
Would this be important to a patient immune compromised with infection or super-sensitised CNS?.............OH YES!
This is where ADAPTOGENS have a special place in supporting the cellular environment.
Adaptogens work by increasing the resistance to stress and decreasing the body's sensitivity to stressors and thereby supporting the CNS by protecting the threshold of the tissue controlled and set by the CNS.
An example to illustrate.
A conditioned athlete goes for a run and feels no muscle soreness post exercise, whereas the unconditioned runner who never runs, experiences pain and discomfort. How is this so?
The thresholds of the glands and tissues responsible for running, are set at completely different levels between the two runners. ie the conditioned runner has higher thresholds than the unconditioned runner.
You wouldn't be surprised to find that on clinical testing using NIS, the unconditioned runner returns CNS interference consistent with the "overloaded" tissues while running. It also wouldn't surprise you that on clinical testing of the conditioned runner, that the same NIS protocols that were found positive in the unconditioned runner, were ABSENT in the conditioned runner.
The stress of repetitive run training decreases the sensitivity to the affects of running on the body. This decrease in the sensitivity is what protects thresholds in your CNS. In the same way, dietary adaptogens decrease the sensitivity to the effects of the stress response in the human body and result to protect thresholds in your CNS. Consider the stress response illustration in Figure 1 below.
Note: A stressor may take the form of infection, mechanical, emotional, chemical or inflammatory.

A Doctors story
Dr Jen Jefferies, Naturopath talks about adaptogens and the normalising of body systems. Ionix lifts energy and promotes adrenal gland recovery while protecting the body against the STRESS response.
Disclaimer: Ionix Supreme is not used to diagnose and cure any medical condition. Results may vary from individual to individual.
Need more energy?
"I have been taking IONIX for over 2 months now. When I first started, I noticed a huge improvement in my energy and concentration levels. It normalised my energy to better levels.
Ionix Supreme has helped enormously to sustain my energy at a high level, so that I can run my business, cope with the stresses that this brings, while maintaining energy in the tank for everyday life.
Ionix is supporting my wellbeing and the health of my NIS patients" - Tony Sewhoy NIS Practitioner, Aug 2018.

Know your IONIX
What's POWERING this adaptogenic formula?
Ashwagandha Root
Immunity - Do you know how awesome this is?
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant in the Solanaceae nightshade family and is native to the dry regions of India, North Africa, and the Middle East. It’s been an important component in Indian Ayurvedic medicine since ancient times, mostly for its restorative benefits. In recent studies Ashwagandha has demonstrated antioxidant effects (8,9). Studies have also shown it to support healthy brain and immune function (10,11)
Siberian Ginseng
Anti-viral, T cells & immunity.
Activities of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells and the production of interferon and neutralizing antibody, body weight loss, survival rate, virus titer, and genetic mutation of virulence factors have been employed to prove anti-viral activities of ginseng.
Reference: J Ginseng Res. 2012 Oct
Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum)
Liver & kidney function.
Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) is a red-orange berry of the Solanaceae nightshade family that includes tomato, eggplant, chili pepper, and potato. Ancient herbalists regarded Wolfberry as nourishing to the liver, kidney, and eyes. Modern studies support these traditional claims by showing that the extracts from Wolfberry have antioxidant properties and protect the body from oxidative stress (3-5).
Molasses
Protect your DNA and cellular constituents.
Oxidative damage plays a major role in disease today and has been linked to health conditions including cancer.
Oxidative damage leads to the production of "free radicals". These substances can be hazardous to the body and damage all major components of cells, including DNA, proteins and cell membranes.
Molasses has high levels of vitamin B6, manganese, magnesium, potassium, iron and selenium, which are so often depleted under stress.
Mucuna Pruriens (velvet bean root)
Neuroprotection.
Mucuna pruriens seeds yields the highest response in neuroprotective testing involving the growth and survival of certain neurons.
Mucuna pruriens leaves have demonstrated anti-microbial and anti-oxidant activities in the presence of bioactive compounds such as phenols.

Bacopa Monniera
Memory and CNS
Bacopa (Bacopa monniera) is a plant popular in traditional Indian medicine practices for the enhancement of memory and to promote longevity. Preclinical studies have shown it to have antioxidant and adaptogenic effects on the central nervous system (12-14).
Schisandra
Schisandra & adrenal support
In human studies, schisandra has shown to increase work accuracy and antioxidant protection and decreased feelings of fatigue and exhaustion (15).
Schisandra helps nurture the adrenal glands and turns down an overproduction of “stress hormones” like cortisol, it’s linked with better mental capabilities, physical endurance and metabolic health (18).
Rhodiola
Rhodiola & stress resistance
Rhodiola has been used as an herbal medicine for several centuries in Russia and Scandinavia to increase physical endurance, improve energy levels, and help resist high altitude sickness. In clinical trials Rhodiola has been shown to help strengthen the body’s resistance to stress (7).
