Superantioxidant C60

Kenneth Swartz

Hi, I’m Ken, I’m a research scientist and founder of C60 Purple Power. And what I’ve, I guess I’ll tell you the story that it came through. And I was actually doing a research for a fusion reactor, and a lot of people did, it’s metal oxygen fusion so most people haven’t heard of that, but a lot of the scientists that had been doing research on that there was like the late doctor this and the late doctor that, so I didn’t want to end up or my crew to end up like that. So I went out looking for radiation protection, and I discovered this stuff called Carbon 60. It’s scientific name is buckminsterfullerene, but the nickname’s C60. And if you look behind me on the, on the background, that’s what it kind of looks like. It’s a little soccer ball shaped molecule that’s 60 carbon atoms. And so I took some, they basically had, they had an experiment where they gave one set of rats got C60, the other set of rats didn’t, and they hit them with a fatal dose of radiation. The C60 rats live while all the control rats that didn’t get it died. So when I heard about that, I said, “Well, that’s for me and my crew.” So we took it during the experimentation of a couple sources and then about seven, eight months afterwards, cause I kept taking it, cause some of the little things like the afternoon bludge you get after you eat lunch, you know, how you wanna go take a nap, that went away and just little aches and pains. 

I used to kind of race motorcycles so and wrecked them. So I had a few aches and pains and so they kind of went down but when I went into my eye doctor, I don’t want to take too much time, but basically, you know, he was looking in my eyes for a long, long time and he did all this other stuff, but my dry macular degeneration or Drugs had disappeared. And he’d never seen that happen before in his practice. So that led to another. I had a friend Gary Rodriguez, he was my electrical engineer on the project. He had developed wet macular degeneration so he started taking, I made a formulation for him, C60 and MCT coconut oil. He was taking like a tablespoon a day for a year and a half and his wet macular degeneration went away. So it just wasn’t a fluke that, you know, by chance had happened with me. And so then that’s kinda how it went and I started making it for friends and family and then my alternative healthcare practitioners heard about it and wanted to try it and then their patients did it and one thing led to another and now there’s C60 Purple Power.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Wow, so what exactly is this C60? We see it back there, we see a little soccer ball thing over there.

Kenneth Swartz

Yeah, this is what it is, hopefully this will come up on the screen. Yeah, just 60 carbon atoms shaped like a little soccer ball and the screen shaver isn’t really the way it should but what it does, it’s, it’s an antioxidant, extremely powerful antioxidant, but it’s very selective, it only interacts with two oxidative species and one is super oxygen and that’s the most damaging oxidative radical in your body and your mitochondria make a lot of that. It’s basically an oxygen with an extra electron and it’s highly reactive and just does all kinds of damage. And then the other ion it works with, which is the ion usually created by radiation and that’s the hydroxyl radical or hydroxyl ion, which is basically a water molecule missing its proton. It’s got an extra electron there and it likes to tear things up. And so, C60 reacts to that, but what’s really amazing about C60, it doesn’t interact with any of the signaling molecules the body uses. Like nitrogen oxides, that’s a vasodilator, dilates your capillary, shrinks them. C60 doesn’t interfere with that, it doesn’t interfere with hydrogen peroxide and it doesn’t interfere with a bunch of oxidative radicals that the body uses for signaling molecules usually based around iron, sulfur and zinc. So that’s kind of the real key thing about C60. So it has, they did animal toxicity and you know, one of the first studies they did, they just wanted to check to see if it was toxic, right, So they did, they basically, they gave it to test animals and it like doubled their lifespan, right. And they had these things about radiation and there’s just been lots of studies like that. But so they finally, the scientist society said it doesn’t really have toxicity, so they decided they were gonna give the rats one gram per kilogram of C60, which is 10,000 times what other scientific studies have shown as to be a health beneficial dose. And even at that level it had no toxicity because it doesn’t interfere with any of the bodies signaling molecules. Now, if you tried to do that with Vitamin D or NAC or, you know, other various antioxidants, you’d have like really negative, that level would probably kill the rats, injure them because it, because it would interfere with the signal molecules, but C60 doesn’t do that that’s why it’s pretty much completely safe at any level.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

That is amazing. So why is it I haven’t heard of the C60? And while I was googling all of this stuff, I realized that the scientists who discovered this receive a noble prize. Why is that?

Kenneth Swartz

Yeah, that’s Harry Kroto, he’s passed away since there, but I’ll kind of give out the, push his book here. This is, he has a book, “Buckminsterfullerene” some inside stories, I’ve been reading that. It’s a pretty good little book on what’s been going on with that and so it’s just kind of the stories of it. Basically, it solved a long standing mystery in astronomy. There’s something in between. C60 is made in giant red stars. They know now, cause those are carbon burning stars or helium burning, they burn to carbon but then they got a Nobel. They discovered it in 1985, then they got a Nobel prize in 1996 for chemistry because it’s sort of a unique chemical chemistry, and that’s a fact, that’s one of its its unique properties and I probably should get into the mitochondria. Like most molecules in nature, and C60 likes to have a positive charge and oxidative radicals have negative charges so they tend to attract together but most molecules in nature get a positive, get positive charge by giving the electron up into the environment. With C60, it actually, it pulls positive hydrogen ions from out of the environment and stores it inside us like this cage like structure it has. And then like for instance, then it releases those, the neutralized oxidative radicals, which allows it to like reset itself again and again and again. 

And in the story of the mitochondria, what happens is C60 is lipophilic so it’s actively uptaken by the mitochondria, through the membranes, the mitochondria membranes, and then if people recall, I don’t have any diagrams here, but the outside of the mitochondria is, the outer membrane is positively charged with lots of hydrogen ions. So the C60 fills up with those hydrogen ions and then it’s a, because it becomes positively charged, it’s attracted to the inner membrane, which is negatively charged. And as it travels the inters spatial space between that, it neutralizes super oxides and hydroxyl radicals until it uses up like those little hydrogen ions on the inside, up to six of them and then the oxidative radicals will stick to the C60, which makes it negatively charged then it’s pulled back to the positively charged outer membrane where it neutralizes those oxidative radicals, refills with hydrogen ions and then just kind of so, and then heads back to the inner membrane. So you can have like tens of thousands, or even millions of these little C60 molecules bouncing back and forth inside between the membranes in your mitochondria, getting rid of the oxidative radicals. And remember 65% of the oxidative radicals, especially the most damaging ones like super oxide and hydroxyl radical are produced in your mitochondria. So if you take that burden down in your cells, well then everything else benefits.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, kind of like PMF. So, is C60 kind of the new CBD?

Kenneth Swartz

Yes, it actually is. But the thing is, it’s only known for, you know, not very many people know about it and that’s why you’ve never heard about it. It’s just very, it’s like pre-adapter stage and that’s kind of one of the things we’re doing is we’re trying to send the C60 message and its benefits but it’s an uphill battle just because it’s totally unique, totally unknown and that’s… It’s growing, it’s growing, but it still hasn’t really broken into the mainstream. People really just don’t know about it and so we’re just trying to push that to kinda educate people and teach them about the benefits of C60.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, right. So what are the benefits of C60 and what would you say it would be like a regular dosage for a person to take?

Kenneth Swartz

Okay, well, there’s a whole bunch of things. C60, well, things people will immediately notice as you’re gonna get, notice an increase in like energy and mental clarity and of course that has a lot to do cause C60, you know, gets rid of, it’s an antioxidant so it really reduces inflammation, even used topically on inflammatory, you know, on knees and stuff, it’ll reduce inflammation, but also because it does the mitochondria, you get more ATP, ATP is produced by your mitochondria, so you get more, you get that energy and mental clarity and that’s the first thing, but also, it’s also, there’s a whole process I could get into, but it’d take a while. It also enhances stem cell production. It basically gets rid of senescent cells and then those cells are replaced by stem cells and so stem cell levels go way up in people that takes C60. And of course, and also there’s a lot of, part of the mental clarity is, there’s two types of inflammation people have, you have chronic, you have acute inflammation, that’s when you twist your ankle, right. It puffs up, you’re immobilized, and that’s what nature’s meant to do, right? So you don’t get around and move stuff but another thing that inflammation does is it suppresses dopamine, which is sort of like the neuro trans, the motivation molecule. That’s really what gets you out of bed in the morning, because, you know, if you got an injured knee, right, or an ankle, your body, the body, they don’t want you to get up and be walking around so they suppressed dopamine until, you know, your injury is healed and then the dopamine level rises and, you know, you go back on. Which is great, that’s what nature intended. Problem is, people have chronic inflammation. You know, it could be arthritis, it could be in their gut, it could be, I mean there’s so many toxic chemicals and other environmental factors today and that there’s just lots and lots of chronic inflammation. Well, C60 suppresses that inflammation so your dopamine levels rise and then people, cause we hear people describe, “Oh, I went back and started exercising “like I used to,” or, “I started doing this hobby “that I used to always like to do.” So that’s another thing. We have aldehyde tests with C60 and C60 will basically take the oxidative burden, at least measured by an aldehyde test, pretty much down to zero.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, right. So PMF, one of the biggest reasons that people end up using PMF is for inflammation and chronic inflammation, because, similar to the C60, it increases ATP production in the cells, which more ATP production makes healthier cells and removes the inflammation. So very much sort of hand, and C60 and PMF. Now you told us the benefits about C60 being inflammation and antioxidant properties. How soon would somebody actually see results?

Kenneth Swartz

Well, you’d notice, you’d probably noticed within a week, you’d get that increase in mental clarity and energy. And then over time as the body rebuilds itself in a healthy manner, then you’ll get a lot of other benefits. And a lot of this stuff, remember if you have a chronic problem that’s been going on for years, it’s not gonna disappear overnight. Like we had Sierra, which is our marketing per all things marketing at C60 Purple Power, she had Hashimotos and she had zero functioning in her thyroid when she came to C60 Purple Power. She’s been taking it for three and a half years, she’s off two thirds of her medicine.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Oh wow.

Kenneth Swartz

To point that is the senescent cells, C60, one of the things people have in, a senescent cell, basically, it’s got damaged DNA, maybe the telomeres are short and whatever it is, it’s not functioning and it doesn’t, but usually the cell would like self destruct, autophagy and apoptosis, I guess, would be the correct term, but it doesn’t wanna do that so it goes into the state of fermentation and that way, and it stops providing things like super oxide and catalase that the mitochondria use to function so they have to go into fermentation too.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right.

Kenneth Swartz

So, but C60 being esodynamic, when you take C60, it’ll restart the mitochondria and senescent cells and then those mitochondria, cause they’re little independent organelles on our cells, right, and they send messages to the nuclear DNA if once the C60 gets in there, the mitochondria turn back on into the KREBS cycle, the oxygenation making ATP but they also send messages to the nuclear DNA. If they don’t get the right message back, they’ll initiate apoptosis, which is program cell death. The cell breaks down into apoptotic bodies, which are non-inflammatory process, by the way, the phagocytes come and clean them up. Well, that stimulates the stem cells and so, like probably the Hashimotos, she paid, this is just theoretical speculative, just letting people know, but this has happened in a lot of people’s organs, the senescent cells get wiped out and then they’re replaced with stem cells, which have a full set of telomeres, but they can function correctly, they’re not damaged. And so we think it’s that stem cell replacement with healthy functioning cells, which is responsible for that benefit. But it took three and a half years. So you get the immediate health benefits and then you get long term benefits as the bodies slowly rebuilds itself in a healthy manner.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, I can’t wait to tell my sister about this because my sister has Hashimotos and is on all sorts of medication and still really suffering so I’m so excited. Soon as I get off this call, I’m gonna be telling her about it. When I was doing my research about C60, I saw prices all over the place and yours in particular a little bit of the high end side of price. Why does it cost so much?

Kenneth Swartz

Well, if you wanna use the, you wanna use the right C60? What we use is we use sublimated 99.99% C60. And sublimation, if people remember from chemistry class, is when a solid turns into a gas and then condenses back into a solid so that’s how our C60 is purified. There’s other C60 that’s purified by solvents, primarily methyl benzene, toilene, and then they bake the solvent off, but there’s always like a little bit left. And actually 99.99% high purity C60 is more expensive by weight than gold. So that’s one of the reasons why our product costs a lot. Also we use all organic oils. We have like a GMP, good manufacturing practices manufacturer that produces our products. We have like third party testing after it’s done. In fact, on the side of our boxes, we have a little QR code, you can go and see the, you can go and see the COAs for our C60 and the oils and then the after testing, showing that C60 concentration and there’s no micro biologics in there. So we have, so you can know you’re getting, you can actually see that. But a lot of companies out there really don’t do that. They use, you know, they use less than you would say lower quality C60s. You know, 99% or 99.9%. The rest of that would be solvent because pretty much all sublimated C60 is 99.99, or 99.98%. That’s just what sublimated C60 is. It’s just that level because it’s a, it’s like an extraction process, right.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, right, right.

Kenneth Swartz

It’s like that. So that’s just the nature of it. And a lot of times they don’t use the high concentration or stuff. Originally the C60 market was very small and everybody made a quality product for their customers. So it didn’t really matter who you went to, everybody was, you know, everybody would give you a good quality product. But then what happened, C60 became popular, well, not that popular, but you know, it became much more popular and then just like the CBD market, you had all these who people wanna jump in to make a buck and so they’re just producing like low quality or no quality products claiming to have C60 on them. And so you just have to be careful and it’s a little bit wild west out there, just like the CBD market was when it kind of took off.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Yeah, I was actually gonna mention the CBD. I just finished a master’s degree program, University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy, specializing in medical cannabis and one of the things that we learned was that all CBDs are not created equally. You see all these stuff on the shelves at the store, grocery store, wherever you could find them, but the reputable ones are the ones that have the COAs just like what you were talking about. That definitely sounds like the real deal. Now, when I was googling online and I saw all these bio hackers and the do it yourself C60, well, what are your thoughts on that?

Kenneth Swartz

Oh, you can do it yourself. You’re gonna be using solvent to produce C60 probably in that case. We have our, our partner that makes our sublimated C60 basically makes it for us, a couple other companies and some governments. That’s basically is their thing. There’s people that produce solvent stuff out there. You get stuff outta China, that’s questionable. So, you know, there’s good stuff out of China, but then there’s a lot, a lot of crap, so you have to be careful on that. And so, yeah, you could do that if you wanted to bio hack it yourself. There’s other followings out there don’t use,. There’s a C70, but we had some bio hackers try that on themselves and it came, they had a pretty bad experience. So just to be aware that you don’t want to use C70. C70 is like a little rugby shape ball fullerene, and it’s not really been tested much for health benefits, in fact, it doesn’t appear to have any. It’s the C60 is what you’re looking for in a fullerene that can help you.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

So, definitely C70 is not the upgrade of C60.

Kenneth Swartz

Yes, yes, that’s right. So just be aware of that, they had- It’s really, it’s pretty rarely produced, but it’s like a side thing. It’s just not a something you wanna do. Just to let people know out there. Basically, we don’t, there’s really no health studies on C70 and the ones, the bio hackers that used it had a bad experience so I would not recommend the C70

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Okay, just stay away from C70.

Kenneth Swartz

Yeah, when you’re using C60 too, the only type of C60 which is useful, is that which has been dissolved as single molecules in an oil. Okay, there’s people out there that sell particles of C60, you know, they’re like little crystal fragments of thousands or tens of thousands of C60 suspended in something, no health benefits. They’ve already have lots of scientific things showing that particles of C60 give you no health benefits, in fact, can even be a kind of inflammatory as nano particles. So you gotta make sure your C60 is dissolved in a healthy oil. And also we decided to get the right type of oils, cause it’s kinda like a Goldilock spectrum of oils. Now, there’s some oils that have a really, really long shelf life, but are kind of are very inflammatory because they have this high omega six, nine level like canola oil or soybean oil or some things like sunflower oil. Yeah, they’re great for long shelf life, but they’re pretty, very inflammatory and then you got other oils on the other side, which are great oils like, you know, hemp seed oil or flax seed oil or fish oil. But the problem is because they’re really high in omega threes, but the problem is they go rancid really quickly.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, right.

Kenneth Swartz

In fact, that’s how I always tell people, if you’re gonna buy fish oil, hemp seed oil or flax seed oil, buy it outta the refrigerated section of your health food store, not off the shelf, cause there’s a really high chance if you buy it off the shelf, it’s rancid. So buy it in a refrigerated section. So we kind of picked the Goldilock selection of oils. Extra Virgin olive oil, obviously that’s well characterized. In fact that was the only thing people were selling C60 originally. I’m the one that came up with, I started putting it in avocado oil because if I was to drink, like let’s say I had was working on a health problem, wanted to take an ounce of let’s say Extra Virgin olive oil, I would be visiting the bathroom before too long.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right.

Kenneth Swartz

So I also have, that’s why I put it in avocado oil because it’s a healthy oil but it’s much easier to digest and doesn’t quite have that really bite, you know, it’s like extra Virgin oil does, But you know, a lot of people like extra Virgin and that’s fine. And then we also have it in MCT coconut oil. And for those people out there, MCT means medium chain triglycerides. So MCT coconut oil is an extract of coconut oil and what it does is, the MCTs, those medium change triglycerides could be turned to ketones by your liver instantly and then it’s like flex fuel, and then your cells can pick those ketones and use it for a flex fuel for your body. That’s why I did it for Gary Rodriguez, cause he had like type two diabetes, which had kind of brought on his wet macular generation. And so when you have MCT coconut oil, your body can use that as like a flex fuel cause the ketones pushed by your liver, your cells can use that as a flex fuel rather than glucose. So you don’t avoid that glucose crash and then it’s also, a lot of athletes use that too, and people with glucose processing issues. It’s just a really good oil and so that’s why we put the C60 in there for those people that wanted that option.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, right. So I put a teaspoon of coconut oil in my coffee every morning and I think a lot of people actually do that. So in some sense we’re kind of doing something similar but not all inclusive like the C60 Purple Power.

Kenneth Swartz

Yes.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

And we were talking before, what are your thoughts on activated charcoal?

Kenneth Swartz

Well, the activated charcoal, well, it’s not gonna past the gut-blood barrier or the gut barrier to get into your blood. So, but what activated charcoal is, animals have been using it or people have been using it. What it does is it can absorb toxins. If you’ve got like, when I travel to foreign countries, I always have activated charcoal with me. So, you know, if I get a little digestive stress, I just take a bunch of activated charcoal, it sucks up those toxins at the bad bacteria in my gut and so that problem goes away. But the problem with activated charcoal, if you take it every day, it also can absorb a lot of important minerals you need to stay healthy. So activated charcoal, it’s great for getting neurotoxin, clearing stuff out, but you don’t wanna do it every, because then you won’t get your like magnesium and calcium and stuff, you can tend to sequester that and it just goes through you and you don’t get to absorb it.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, right. Makes sense, makes sense. So, what should a consumer be looking for when they’re trying to choose a good C60 product?

Kenneth Swartz

Well, just basically three things, you’re looking for the high purity 99.99% or 99.98%. Really, really high level of purity. Secondly, you should be looking for sublimated C60, that’s C60 that’s never been exposed to solvents if you can find it. It’s not, most producers out there use the solvent based, and then just a healthier carrier oil so that you’re not, you know, the carrier oil supporting the benefits of C60, not, you know, giving inflammation like sunflower or canola oil, something you don’t want to be that’s burns the grade, you know. And sunflower seeds by the way are fine. You know, that’s eating those is fine. It’s just a lot of things when they refine things like sunflower oil, it’s not so good cause it’s kind of heavy in Omega sixes and nines and basically birds can digest it but people can’t.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, right.

Kenneth Swartz

So a lot of times, you know, foods are good for you, but their extracts, maybe aren’t.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

True, true, true. Because I tell my patients all the time, I say, “Eating an orange “is actually better than drinking a glass of oranges.”

Kenneth Swartz

Oh, yeah, coz you’ll get that glucose spike.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Exactly.

Kenneth Swartz

Oh, yeah, you wanna eat the whole food, the whole food so it’s digested. There’s lots of other goodies in there that kind of are meant to work together to do things and So I guess probably we should talk about pulse harmonics or PMF machines, yes because that’s, I’ve been using the PMF for years. I got my little pad over here. There it is, kind of comes through on the thing there. Yes, I’ve been using it, In fact, I use my- The brand that I use is Pulse Harmonics with an x at the end. And that’s produced by Jack Butler out here in Longmont, California, I mean Longmont, sorry, Longmont, Colorado. And I actually was involved with Jack for doing other things when he developed his original pulse harmonics. So I’ve seen it grow in the different varieties and the pain in the ass working with production facility. That’s kind of how I eventually, that’s I kind of doing, learning about working production is actually how later I would use that same experience helping me making C60 cause it’s making, production facilities are yeah, that’s a special skill. So yeah, I’ve been using the Pulse Harmonic for, I don’t know, 10, at least 10 years now. And it just does amazing things for me. The two things, well, the things that people notice with the Pulsed Harmonic, you know, PMF device, is it does do like, if you’ve got like damaged knees or elbows or stuff, that’s what I found really helps. It tends to like increases blood flow and I know that, so it tends to do a little bit of swelling when you start it, but then it brings in healing. 

And so if you use it faithfully, it will, cause I used to have like a tennis elbow and the Pulsed harmonics, it didn’t happen overnight, it took, you know, months, but I don’t have that problem anymore. And so things on knees, I blew out a knee on a little sports incident and I used the pulse harmonic on that and it really accelerated the healing. That’s what I know that it does. It kind of, I think it increases the blood flow, increases like the activity of the cells, the mitochondria, and so that the cells can get in there and heal themselves. And so it’s really benefited me. And another thing, though you’re not gonna see this with, right off, but then also when you do like a pulsing of your whole body, you know, your thorax or whatever you wanna call that, it also increases the heart rate variability. And so there’s actually little programs you can buy for your computer and there’s little sensors you can stick in and you put your thumb in it and it’ll actually measure your heart rate variability over time, which is really important cause it’s your, the health of your, when your heart actually vary, is variable, it’s not always exactly the same, there’s this variability that happens, that’s the sign of a healthy heart. It’s when it’s doing like exactly the same thing, that’s the sign that, I’m not a medical doctor, I can’t get medical license, but at least I know these things. And so you can actually measure that by using a PMF machine that can be, you can see the improvements of that rather easily.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, so the Pulse Harmonic is one of the devices that we actually recommend and it’s an amazing device but pulse electromagnetic field, PMF, in any of the other devices work just as well. We have some that are low intensity and some high intensity so the pulse harmonic is actually more towards the high ends so great stuff with great stuff. So I’m glad that you actually have that experience and you were able to reduce inflammation in your your elbow when you-

Kenneth Swartz

You know, I had actually produced a, it’s a pulsed harmonic device, but it’s a little different. It’s shorter frequencies and I was actually, cause that’s Colorado, I was in the cannabis industry. And I could actually go and pulse your plants and get you 80% more bud on them.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Oh, wow. Well this is one of the benefits of PMF. I have a lot of plants in my office and my PMF devices in one half of the treatment room so I put, once a week on a Friday, I water all the plants. So I would take a jug and put water and so while the patients are getting treatment that day, my water is actually getting treated also and then I water my plants and in the middle of winter, my orchids are blooming. I have tons of orchids back there and the patients come in, they’re like, “My orchids at my house are half dead “and yours have blooms.” So PMF, great stuff, great stuff. So, you were talking also about the C60 Power and inflammation. How does C60 work, how does it work in men and how does it work in women? I know that certain, there are certain drugs, certain vitamins, that would work differently in different genders.

Kenneth Swartz

The key to C60, it works at the cellular level. So it’s working at, you know, it’s at the cellular level, it’s working in the mitochondria. It also protects the, the nuclear DNA from oxidative damage, which is, and it kind of, it also likes to hang out in the endo plasma reticulum that makes proteins, that kind of surrounds your nucleus, where the mRNA comes out and goes the ribosomes and then they make the proteins and stuff. So C60 protects that whole sector there so you can make your proteins and that’s, now the difference is you’ll notice like one of the things is when your mitochondria return to functionality, mitochondria make pregnenolone, which is the precursor molecule for all the hormones. And they actually make it out of the LDL cholesterol, quote, peoples call the “bad cholesterol.” That’s not bad cholesterol, that’s meant to be there. It’s what, as we get older, our mitochondria don’t function like they do and so that LDL cholesterol tends to build up in the blood rather than being used to make pregnenolone and other substances and then when it oxidizes, that changes its form and it sticks to your artery walls and that’s basically one of the main causes of heart disease. So when you’re taking C60, your mitochondria ramp themselves back up, and now they’re taking that LDL and turning it into pregnenolone and then the cells can use that pregnenolone with anything. And so like in your pineal gland, you’re gonna probably use more melatonin. In your pituitary hypothalamus complex, you’ll probably get more human growth hormone and dozens of master hormones. And like as Sierra, you know, she’s making more T3 and T4, and balancing out her needs for that and also it happens in the same with the adrenals. Adrenals take pregnenolone and make a lot of pregnenolone and they use it to make, you know, the mineral corticoids, which balances the blood, which is, oh, one of the counter indications I need to mention to here too. You know, C60 doesn’t, you know, all C60 does is lift the oxidative burden so your cells can function correctly, but one of the things that it will do is it restores like mitochondria function in the adrenals and the adrenals produce mineral corticoids, which balance the “thickness of your blood.” So if you’re on a blood thinner and you start taking C60, you can rapidly, the “thick blood problem” can rapidly go away with the return of the production of mineral corticoids. So you need to consult with your doctor if you’re on a blood thinner and to get a lot more testing, if you’re gonna take C60. Tell your doctor you’re gonna take C60. Tell them it can, you know, it can restart mineral corticoid production which is gonna make your blood, you know, kind of balance out. And so you need to be on, you need to be on extra testing so that your blood doesn’t get too thin. An it’s a little bit, it’s not quite the same, but it’s a little bit, cause one of the things that that pregnenolone is, pregnenolone is converted in the adrenals into androgens, which are the precursors for estrogen, progesterone, testosterone. So you can get a lot of increase like. We had guy, he was 70 years old, he’d gone to his doctor, he had like a 350 testosterone count. And so he started taking creams and he was up to about in the low seven hundreds, you know, doing the creams, and then he started taking C60, and about three months later, he went in for testing and his testosterone level was 1200.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Wow.

Kenneth Swartz

So his doctor backed him off on the creams. And so that’s another thing, cause if you’re doing hormone things, the underlying problem can go away and your hormone levels will rise. But it’s not like hormone treatment where they give you a single hormone. When your body produces pregnenolone, that means whatever hormones your body produces, can be increased now because it’s basically, you’re just rolling your cells production back. Once the mitochondria can function like they used to 10, 20 years ago, well then your hormone levels can rise to the way maybe they were 10, 20 years ago. And so that’s, but it’s a natural broad across the thing. It’s not like one specific hormone increase. So you’ll get a broad increase of all your hormones, not just one.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

So I guess the same would be in women, the same thing with the hormones

Kenneth Swartz

yeah. some people that have been on the menopause, you know, pre period menopause go back to having there periods so that’s another one.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Well that that really would suck for some women.

Kenneth Swartz

Yes, yes, yes. So if you’re on the edge. If you’re over it, probably not gonna be a problem, but sometimes on the edge, cause it’s like rolling back the clock a little bit. And there’s like, there’s a lot of animal studies that, also C60 is good topically. They found that, you know, applied topically, they had, in fact, one of the first human studies was actually a cream produced in Japan for wrinkles and they found that C60 would significantly reduce wrinkles and fine lines in Japanese women.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Oh wow, well, I am definitely getting C60. You see, so you must be using C60 because I’m looking and there’s like zero lines.

Kenneth Swartz

I just turned 60, so I’m yeah, I’m doing pretty good. I don’t, I use it a lot internally, not as much topically. But there’s other things like if you get mosquito bites, you can put C60 on the mosquito bite, in about 20 minutes the itching goes away, which is really nice. And especially, and they found, well, actually in vitro studies of human cells, and they basically human skin cells, they gave one set would get C60, the other set didn’t. They exposed them to UV light levels of varying amounts and they found that C60 significantly protected human skin cells from UV damage. Cause it’s an antioxidant, UV light makes oxidative radicals, so C60 works there. And then they also did one with, one of the things is C60 kind of supports immunity. And they had done some studies with mass cells, human mass cells in test tubes and they found that it like delayed or modified the release of like the histamines cause that’s what mass cells, they got little packets of histamines and release them which of course causes your allergies. And then they took that into animal studies and they found that they, I think it was rats, it might have been habits, but I think it was rats. And they had rats that had been conditioned to have anaphylactic shock when exposed to a certain allergen. And they found that those rats that had C60, it moderated their immune response so they didn’t go into anaphylactic shock when exposed to the allergen. So a lot of people noticed that their allergies go way down when they take C60, but it it’s a gradual process, it doesn’t

Marlene Mahipat, DC

This is more reason for me to try the C60. My husband is very asthmatic and highly allergic. I didn’t know that people had fall allergies. I heard of spring allergies, well he has fall allergies also.

Kenneth Swartz

those falls.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Yeah, so between the C60 and the PMF treatment that we do every day, I think he’s gonna end up being a superhero. So I kind of look forward to that because then I’m gonna increase the whole honey, do, list, come when the weather is better. There’ll be all kinds of stuff building in my yard. So is there anything else about C60 that, C60 Power that we actually need to know?

Kenneth Swartz

Well, you know, C60 is an adult choice. We don’t recommend it for pregnant women, women that are nursing or even children, because there really isn’t experiments there to tell. So it’s an adult choice and we recommend people. There’s a site, “What is C60?” that we’re kind of associated with that tells a lot about C60. You can go in there and you can learn a lot about C60 and you gotta remember that there’s some types of C60 that’s dissolved in an oil, that’s the health benefit type. There’s also one that’s polyhydroxylated, which makes it water soluble, but that’s only used in experiments. Those are the health beneficial types. Particles of C60 don’t have you any benefits. So you have to make sure you get the right type of C60 and to do health benefits and just do your own research. And you know, C60 is not a magic pill. It has its benefits. It does what it does and it does it really well, but part of it, if you’re gonna be, you know, on a health journey, you need to eat right. You need to supplement with vitamins. You need need to like, you know, get the exercise. You need to do all of those other things. Cause what C60 does, it doesn’t cure heal or prevent anything, it just lifts the oxidative burden your cells are under so that your cells can now function the way they should be. But you need to make sure that the cells have those nutrients, the cells have all the other things that they need and the low electromagnetic environment, all that stuff, so that now they can get and do the what’s necessary, the healing. So it’s just one part of a health journey, of a journey to health. C60 is just one part of that, but it’s an important part.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

What about pets?

Kenneth Swartz

Oh, C60 works great on pets. Because there’s no, yes so we have, yeah, usually like we’ve had like really old German shepherds and… Oh, by the way, when you’re taking C60, I probably should talk a little bit about the amounts. Now, most people let’s say in your thirties or forties, or maybe in early fifties, and let’s say your mid weight, between 130, 160 pounds. On our website, we actually have a dose amount. Just a teaspoon in the morning would be fine. Tends to be stimulated, so you wanna take it in the morning not late at night. But as you get older, you get a little bit of gray hair, or you get a little extra weight, so a tablespoon’s more appropriate then. That’s what I use, I use about a tablespoon or a half a day and in the morning. And so that tends to be a more, as you get older, so like an older dog, and older German shepherd, give them a tablespoon and you’ll just, you’ll be amazed after about a couple of weeks. They’ll just be running around like they haven’t for just years.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Wow.

Kenneth Swartz

And with little dogs, it’s little amounts. So dogs have their preferences, some like avocado oils, some like avocado oil, we don’t regularly would recommend the MCT coconut oil cause it’s in the grass family. And so you don’t wanna have accidents in the house with the dog if you give them MCT oil.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

asked that questions.

Kenneth Swartz

Yeah, so that’s kind of why we stick with olive oil or avocado oil. They can, they have their preferences, cats too. You know, some like one, some like the other, it’s a kind of a personal preference for the animal.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

So this is a, this is interesting because I do animal rescue and I have older cats and dogs at my house. So would, definitely, this is something I’m gonna be incorporating into, not only my life, but my animal’s life. And I know C60 is not recommended for children. PMF actually is, it’s safe and my cats and dogs actually get PMF treatment also.

Kenneth Swartz

Yeah, they’re great for animals. Because you can put the whole animal in the pad.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Yeah, yeah, put them, yeah.

Kenneth Swartz

The whole animal gets the pad, you know, gets the pulse, not just part of you.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Right, right, absolutely. So people wanna learn more about C60 and Purple Power. Where can they get more information?

Kenneth Swartz

Well, you can go to c60purplepower.com and that’s the website and it’ll take there and you can go explore some of their landing pages and things, learn a little bit about it. Because, you know, it’s a non FDA-approved substance. We have a few, you know, the human studies, most of the humans, the animal studies, you have to go somewhere else to get because they’re not, you can’t, there’s, you know, the FDA association stuff. But it’s out there if you wanted to look there and yeah, just go with the the quality producers we’ve got. You know, most of the original producers were really all quality. It’s just now that there’s so many people out there that it’s, you know, so we have ours, we have our certificates analysis. We back up our products and all that, we have a great customer service, so we’d always like, we like to think that we’re like the best one out there. But, you know, there are other legitimate ones out there, but you have to be, just have to be careful when you’re going for. Just like CBD, it got a little bit of wild west out there.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

It’s the wild west. It is, it’s absolutely. So it was such a joy to talk to you. I feel like I’ve learned so much and I’m so excited to try the C60. You’ve been the wealth of knowledge and more support please, Ken the scientists. I can see, when I was on your website and I saw that, I was like, “Ken the scientist” and then now after talking to you and hearing the journey, I could totally see that, I could totally see that and thank you so much for doing this and for also using PMF and for the knowledge that you shared with everybody. Thank you so much.

Kenneth Swartz

Oh, thank you for having me on.

Marlene Mahipat, DC

Thank you.
