Why This Little-Known Antioxidant Could Solve Your Pet’s Health Problems

November 29, 2021 by Larry

Allergies, bowel disease, heart disease, arthritis, brain disease, senior issues, even cancer…what is the common denominator that came before all of them?

You’ve heard about it; seen it in ads for antioxidants. It’s called oxidative stress and it’s the most damaging cell killer in you and your pet’s body.

There’s a little-known pet supplement that is solving pet problems like these for over a decade, and you should know about it.

First, it’s important to understand what causes disease and aging in us and our pets.

What Exactly Is Oxidative Stress?

Simply put, it’s also called free radicals and is created in the process of cells converting nutrients into energy it can use, called ATP. That would be fine if it were the only cause of oxidative stress being created, because the body is so amazing, that it also creates antioxidants to maintain the proper balance of the two in the body.

But, oxidative stress is created by much more than that. Today, there’s a laundry list of what prompts the formation of  free radicals in you and your pet’s bodies. Here’s just a few:

  • toxins in the air

  • toxins in food

  • toxins in the water

  • rolling on unmarked, pesticide-treated grass

  • UV rays from the sun

  • ionizing radiations from things like microwaves from an oven

  • X rays and gamma rays from radioactive elements

  • pollutants

  • heavy metals

  • pharmaceutical drugs

  • stress

Whew! No matter where they (or you) turn, there’s something that creates oxidative stress. And, if an imbalance of free radicals to antioxidants eventually creates disease and aging, what do we do to keep our fur babies, and ourselves, healthier and living longer? Is this really possible?

What Can We Do About It?

There are a lot of products on the market boasting the ability to be powerful antioxidants. And, that’s what you need, a powerful antioxidant to weigh the tipped scales of free radical domination into balance.

Here are some:

  • Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries – they’re all good antioxidants you and your dog could eat.

  • Vegetables like cooked yellow squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, spinach, kale, green beans are all great. Organic and not cooking to death are recommended.

Can food alone handle the load of shoring up your pet’s antioxidants so that balance between free radicals and antioxidants is manageable?

That depends. Most of us live with our pets in an environment where they’re exposed to toxins on a regular basis. It takes a lot of knowledge and effort to feed so cleanly as to reduce toxins enough or to manage your water system so it’s truly pure. Then, you have the toxins on the grass, in the air and any emotional stress, whether it be separation anxiety, an illness or stress in the home.

So, the answer is our pets need help above and beyond food. I absolutely recommend feeding fresh, organic fruits and vegetables that are good antioxidants to our pets (be careful as to what is ok for dogs but not cats and vice versa) and a raw food diet where the live enzymes remain in the food.

 

Vitamin C and E are our two strongest antioxidants to date.

  • Astaxanthin is a very good antioxidant you can give your dog or cat as a supplement. A rich red color, Astaxanthin belongs to a group of compounds called carotenoids that comes from micro algae. Its powerful antioxidant properties have been shown to be 65 times more powerful than vitamin C and 54 times more powerful than beta-carotene. It can reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system.

  • Colostrum is a milky fluid released by mammals that have recently given birth before breast milk production begins. It’s an important source of nutrients that promotes growth and fights disease in infants. In supplement form, it can improve the immune response against certain viruses, support gut microflora and a healthy digestive system, improve bone and muscle function in older animals, and supportively treat periodontal disease in dogs and cats.

  • Green-lipped mussels are a powerful antioxidant. They are sourced in New Zealand, and are a natural source of glycosaminoglycans (GAGS). These are the main components of cartilage and synovial fluid found in the joints. They support joint mobility, cartilage maintenance, cardiovascular health and help maintain healthy skin, Green-lipped mussels are also chock full of omega 3 fatty acids, which if you’ve taken my course, you know is a critical amino acid needed for good health in our pets. If you’re going to choose a green-lipped mussels oil product, make sure it’s gone through a cold-extraction process, not a heat process as heat kills nutrients.

  • Phytoplankton is a super healthy food that helps remove toxins from the body, including heavy metals. It contains SUD or Superoxide Dismutase, a great antioxidant. Trace minerals  in phytoplanton like selenium has been shown to prevent cancer tumors; magnesium supports heart, joint and neurological health and iodine supports a healthy thyroid, among many other things.

The Superhero Of Antioxidants

 

What if I told you there was an antioxidant that was so far and away more powerful at neutralizing the body (again, yours and your pets) of free radicals that it did it 172 times better than Vitamin C or E and three times better than astaxanthin?

There is and it’s called Carbon60 or C60 for short. It’s a form of the carbon molecule discovered by three scientists in the mid-80’s, for which they won the Nobel Prize in 1995.

But, it took two other scientists, Max Champie and Phil Catalano, who worked as a research scientist at NASA for over 15 years, to discover its health benefits.

In 2011, Max got a call from his son, who told him that his 88-year-old mother had early stage Alzheimer’s. She was forgetting and losing things and he was getting concerned. Max had been experimenting with C60 for a project he was hired to do as part of a think tank. He’d also read a study that a Spanish scientist named Fathi Moussa had done with rats, where they’d lived 1.5 – 3 times longer when taking C60.

Motivated by his mother’s health, Max got busy in the lab and within 30 days, he was on a plane with a beta C60 product to try on his mom.

  • The two of them started on a protocol, together.

  • Within 90 days, his mother took her driver’s test and got her license.

  • Within 120 days, she threw away her reading glasses, went back and told the DMV she wanted to retake her driver’s test without glasses for the first time since she was 42, and passed!

  • A few years later, at 94, she was driving around Denver in her silver Smart car with the license plate Granny!

That success got around and family and friends came knocking. Max gave C60  to them to try which, at that time, was suspended in pure virgin organic olive oil. More successes poured in.

Bob at the gym avoided double hip replacement surgery; the C60 resolved his hip issues.

Dr. Loretta Ivory got her life back after a few months on C60, when her macular degeneration started reversing.

Max and Phil knew that once the C60 neutralized enough oxidative stress in the body, it began reversing things like conditions, illnesses.

They kept researching, trying to find the toxicity levels for humans and animals of Carbon60. They brought in Dr. Joe Nieusma, a board-certified toxicology PhD, with over 30 years’ experience in the field. He couldn’t find any toxicity levels.

Demand grew and Max and Phil started a company called Live Longer Labs under which they continued to research.

 They began offering C60 suspended in pure organic coconut oil and in avocado oil, because of the healing properties in each.

Then, in 2017, another breakthrough occurred.  Max and Phil discovered the immense healing benefits of Blackseed Oil. They decided to use it as a carrier of the Carbon 60 molecule and a year later, added Curcumin,  the healing part of Turmeric, to the formula to now have a 3-pronged approach to neutralizing free radicals, reducing inflammation and promoting cell healing.

They started offering a C60 product for pets called C60Live. Success stories started coming in for that, too.

Dr. Ivory’s Irish Wolfhound developed a tumor the vet said looked cancerous. In one week on C60, it disappeared and the vet confirmed it was gone.

Other’s dogs and cats suffering with arthritis were vastly improved or resolved. IBD conditions, also were vastly improved or resolved. Skin allergies, as well.

Not All C60 Is Created Equal

Once I started doing my research on this product, I went pretty far down the rabbit hole. But, I got excited, the more I learned. I knew I wanted to go to the source and talk to the scientist who found the health benefits, so I tracked Max Champie down, and we spent two hours on a Saturday morning talking. By the time I got off, I was vibrating with excitement. I looked at other companies, but Max and I talked about how pure the C60 is that he uses. It’s the highest purity, at 99.9%. He insists on that, as well as the pristine quality of the olive oil, Black Seed Oil and Curcumin he uses in the products. And, while a distribution company he aligned with called Pure Bella Vita takes care of marketing and fulfillment of the orders, Max oversees all of the production, every detail. I liked that.

So, I tried it for myself and my dogs.

🌟  My 12-year-old pup, Sophie, had a chronic skin condition, scratching, biting, licking incessantly, at times where she scratched herself so raw, it became infected. Homeopathy got her 75% of the way to cure. C60Live, in 5 days, got her 99% there. And, she is behaving like a puppy! Her energy level is so much improved, it’s amazing.

🌟  For me, after a week on mixing C60 Black Seed Oil and C60 Complete, which is what Max calls the “magic beans” of health, I felt a lot more energy. After 2+ months, my hip pain started resolving.

Maybe, it sounds too good to be true, but it really is just biology. If the body was created to heal itself, but it’s too bogged down trying to offload oxidative stress, if that oxidative stress could be neutralized by C60 so balance is once again restored to the body, it can then focus on healing itself. Makes sense, right?

Success Stories

I’ll leave you with stories from people who’ve had success with giving C60Live to their dog or cat:

🌟 Michelle H. said, “Thank you thank you! Your C60Live oil has given my dog his life back. He’s acting puppy like again and isn’t limping around like he was before, I also started giving it to my cat who has been on the oil for about a month now. Her allergies have decreased tremendously. Very happy customers!”

🌟 Steve B said, “Our dog Lili is a 6-lb Yorkshire Terrier. Lili is now 13 and has had her share of health issues. She has been given 30-45 days of life remaining as she has heart issues, this was about 17 months ago. As I have been taking C60 and seeing great results, we decided to try it on her; the thought was…what did we have to lose…Well 17 months later she continues to thrive although we have been told time and again, she’s living on borrowed time. Every night after she eats, she gets her toy and will fetch for as long as I’m willing. Thank you for keeping our little girl vibrant.”

🌟Susan: “After doing my due diligence on different companies, I’m thankful to have come across Pure Bella Pets. Their products work and that says it all. There are a lot of companies claiming to be the “next best thing” when it’s actually not quality. Knowing everything is organic and professionally done is a breath of fresh air.”

🌟 Max has 3 dogs. Chloe, his 8-year-old Dachshund, came with congestive heart failure. He put her on a high dose of C60 – 1 or 2 tablespoons a day. “After 2 weeks, I noticed a difference in her,” Max described. “After 90 days, her congestive heart failure had resolved. Today, she’s 100%.”

🌟 Veterinarian Dr. Kris Ahlberg has been using C60Live in her practice for several years. “I have seen marked improvement in mobility, especially those with arthritic conditions and those with scar tissue that was hampering movement,” she explained. “One of the dogs I have been treating that has seizures that were difficult to control with standard treatment became better controlled when C60 was added to his regime. I have seen no unwanted side effects and it is easily administered. I am continuing to recommend that my patients (and their pet parents) use the C60Live products.”  Dr. Ahlberg also used C60 on her own senior dog, Sunny, who enjoyed its benefits of more mobility and energy.
