South Florida’s Secret Brain-Fortifying FlowerLittle-Known Aquatic Flower Helps You Build When people come to my house, they tell me, “Your backyard looks like one of those jungles you’re always traveling to.” At the edge of the “jungle,” there’s a pond. It’s about ankle deep with thick vegetation and plenty of mud and rocks. Some people might say it doesn’t look like much. But it’s got a secret that, until recently, even I didn’t know was growing there. It was only this past spring that I saw a tiny cluster of white flowers popping up on the south side of the pond. I’ve grown so fond of it I’ve started calling it my “backyard brain-boosting flower.” You see I’ve used this aquatic flower with my patients for years. When taking the digestible form of it, my patients get a surge in brainpower, with precise, lightning-quick recall, a greater ability to work through mental stress, and razor-sharp focus. It’s only recently that it’s started getting attention, as universities and drug companies start to investigate. So far, they’re confirming what my patients and I already know. For instance, in a study from Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia, researchers found people given this little-known aquatic flower significantly improved their spatial memory, memory accuracy, and their ability to process visual information in a very short time.1 However, that’s only the beginning of what you can do to: Improve Your Intellectual Capacity And Concentration,

As a board-certified clinical nutritionist, strength coach, ACE-certified fitness trainer and author, Dr. Sears enjoys a worldwide readership and has appeared on more than 50 national radio programs, ABC News, CNN and ESPN. In 2010, Dr. Sears unveiled his proven anti-aging strategies in Reset Your Biological Clock. As the first U.S. doctor licensed to administer a groundbreaking DNA therapy that activates the gene that regulates telomerase, Dr. Sears made history by bringing telomere biology to the general public. In 2006, Dr. Sears shocked the fitness world by revealing the dangers of aerobics, "cardio" and long-distance running in his book, PACE: The 12-Minute Revolution. In 2004, Dr. Sears was one of the first doctors to document the true cause of heart disease and expose the misguided and often fatal drugs-and-surgery approach to heart health. In The Doctor’s Heart Cure, Dr. Sears outlines the easy-to-follow solution that effectively eliminates your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke. An avid lecturer, Dr. Sears regularly speaks at conferences sponsored by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), the American College for the Advancement of Medicine (ACAM) and the Age Management Medicine Group (AMMG). |
Bacosides also supports neurons – the brain cells involved in learning and memory – to maintain their healthy function.* With it, you may be able to learn and remember new things much more easily than you ever have before.
It’s a perfect brain-fortifying herb. But it's only one of the powerful natural brainpower-enhancing nutrients I want to show you today. It works even better when you use it in conjunction with other cognition-enhancing super plants and nutrients.
Use them together and you have possibly the strongest combination of natural mental boosters you could ever find.
In fact, in a very short time you’ll feel a surge of mental clarity in every situation… with greater recall and clearer focus.*
You gain this advantage because the combination of nutrients facilitates cell communication while promoting oxygen delivery and uptake.* You get healthy oxygen and blood flow to your brain, which are essential to fully functional, healthy cognitive faculties.
The difference in how your brain performs with these super plants can be staggering. For instance, did you know there’s a natural plant that can help make the impossible, possible?
Do you ever dream of doing what everyone said you could not?
That’s what Princeton biologists Gould and Gross did, except they proved the critics wrong.
Your whole life you’ve been told that your brain cells will “die off” as you get older. But what if they didn’t have to, and you could maintain and rejuvenate these brain cells, putting your “mental horsepower” back into fifth gear, where it was when you were younger?
In their groundbreaking Princeton study, Gould and Gross injected 11 adult macaque monkeys with a marker so they could label and track their brain cells.
During their tracking, they found a substantial number of these “labeled” cells had both young and old traits. Gould and Gross were startled. This meant they’d found a primate’s brain could produce new brain cell growth. This may imply that adult human brains can, too.3
Gould and Goss found you have “growth factors” that decline as you age. When they decline or disappear, so does your ability for brain cell growth.
The good news is that if you can replace these “factors,” you can slow down the shrinking of your mental processes by maintaining the normal, healthy process of producing new brain cell growth. Re-igniting your mind, just like when you were younger and your mind was constantly being flooded by information and you were learning new things.
Gotu Kola contains several active principals called asiaticosides. These improve cognition in older animals while stimulating “branching” out of connections between cells in key areas of the brain. This helps you think faster.* It has been used for centuries as a brain tonic in Indian and Chinese medicine, and its use has been recorded for 2,000 years.*
It seems to produce more of these growth factors which can maintain and rebuild neurites and dendrites.* Neurites and dendrites are the root-like branch extensions of your brain cells. Think of them like the wiring of a computer network. They allow one part of your brain to communicate with the other.
In animal models, it appeared to promote dendrite growth.* In one study, they gave rats one body-weight sized leaf of Gotu Kola. Afterwards, they found a significant increase in the length and branching of the animals dendrites.4
There are no studies in humans that have looked at this effect yet. But I believe animal studies are supportive of it’s traditional use as a brain tonic for memory and relieving mental stress.* And there is a lot of corollary evidence I’ve seen with my patients that leads me to believe this effect is real.
Now, if you wanted to take it a step further, you would want to stimulate the brain to increase the effects of your growth factors, which promotes neurite and dendrite rejuvenation and an expansion of the connections between your brain cells.* That’s where a special nutrient called Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) comes in.
It gives you a boost in brainpower unlike anything else I’ve ever used. And most doctors today don’t even know about it.
It’s an exceptional brain supplement, and I’ve seen how it has restored razor sharp thinking to my patients who take it. Studies show that when you’re low on mental energy, it could be due to a deficiency in mitochondria – the engines that supply your energy.* But you can reverse that through supplying the brain with ALC. This can enhance your mind’s power and energy.*5
Acetyl L-Carintine also:
When researchers started looking deeper into how ALC worked, they found it stimulates your brain to grow more neurites – the branches that are extensions of your brain cells. These let brain cells communicate with each other. And ALC does this at the same rate as your body’s own nerve growth stimulant called “nerve growth factor” (NGF).*
ALC also helps keep the receptors for your growth factors healthy and vital.*
Almost as important as growth factors is another way to keep your brain working at its best… oxygen.
There’s another flower, with beautiful blue petals, that you may have in your garden right now amongst your shrubs and roses.
It contains a powerful natural ingredient which helps increase blood flow. I’m talking about periwinkle. The flower contains a compound called Vinpocetine, which has been found to work miracles for the mind.
It’s so effective against fading mental powers that it’s widely used in nearly 50 countries.*
Even Germany’s Commission E, the German government’s official natural medicine committee, which highly regulates supplements, has approved using this potent solution for enhancing your brainpower.
Vinpocetine is one of Nature’s most potent antidotes to the forgetfulness, brain fog, and confusion we normally associate with aging. You won’t have to worry about losing the mental power you’ve enjoyed your whole life.
The beauty of it is that your brain knows exactly what to do with it. Start taking it and it goes to work right away. That’s because in your early years, your brain makes it on its own. Think of it as your body’s “brain food.”
Once you hit early adulthood, though, you don’t make as much. You make even less as the years go by. Starved of this key nutrient, your mental abilities begin to fade.
Start feeding your brain again, and they come roaring back.
This isn’t just about staying sharp. Vinpocetine is a healing force for both your brain and your body. Here’s what it can do for you:
A three-month trial conducted by Hungarian scientists confirmed that it actually speeds up the rate of blood flow in your brain – even when you’re just sitting around. Of two groups, the one group taking Vinpocetine tested better and appeared more steady and calm.*10
Another study published by the European Journal of Ultrasound showed that a single dose increased oxygen to the brain compared to taking a placebo.* 11
And this oxygen boost works wonders for your memory.
For example, a study of older adults published in the Journal of the Nutraceutical Association showed it significantly improved performance on attention, concentration and memory tests compared to taking a placebo.*12
With it, you can reclaim lightning-quick recall, flood your mind with ferocious, thought-creating energy, and finally harness your untapped intellectual potential for success.
You’ve already learned how to use 5 potent brain-fortifying herbs. But there are three other herbs that have helped my patients re-energize their minds and restore a much younger-acting brain:
Sceletium tortuosum (Kanna): It’s been used for hundreds of years by the hunter-gatherer peoples of Africa to elevate mood and reduce stress.* Traditional healers use it to treat anxiety, too.* It has a component called mesembrine, which studies show may help lessen the effects of stress.*
Ginkgo biloba leaf extract: I’ve found that it helps increase oxygen and blood flow to the brain, improve memory, increase alertness and rebuild mental energy.*
Baicalin: is a very powerful brain protector that helps promote brain cell re-growth and also helps promote better cognitive function. A study from the Kyung Hee University in June 2013 found that it might be useful as a therapeutic agent in improvement of cognitive function.*13
These are so powerful that even though it took me over a year of research and formulation, I’ve finally brought them together for you all in one place. I call it Focus IQ.
