 Biolanyn Skin Cream
Active Ingredient: Bovine Cartilage

History:
The concept of using animal parts to heal related human tissues has been with us since the ancient beginnings of health care. The papyrus of Eber discusses preparations manufactured from animal organs. In the Materia Medica of Aristotle and Pliny the Elder there are allusions to extracts of organs used in medical therapy. Eastern medicine, going back to the Yellow Emperor's Handbook, discusses the use of placenta as a tonic. At the beginning of the 16th century, Paracelsus taught that the heart heals the heart, the kidney heals the kidney, etc.

Modern Rationale:
If liver heals the liver, lung heals the lung, etc., then how is it that cartilage helps the skin? The two are seemingly unrelated. In fact, however, they are very much related by virtue of the fact that a vast CONNECTIVE TISSUE structure under girds them both.

They have many common biochemical constituents in their structures -- collagen, silicon, chondroitin sulfates, hyaluronic acid, zinc, vitamin C, glucosamine, and many others.

Today's Environment is Hostile to Healthy Skin:
In the course of life, the human body not only generates its own metabolic waste products but also accumulates toxic materials from the environment. The latter may consist of certain food additives, most insecticide and herbicide residues on food, hormone and antibiotic residues in animal products, excessively processed foods, pollutants in the air and water.

The body attempts to externalize these toxins or their degradation products by various means, via the kidneys, bowels, lungs, nasal passages and skin. Because of the immense surface area which is in contact with the external environment, the skin presents an excellent avenue for elimination of toxicity. This is a continuous, ongoing process whether sweat is visible or not.

Unfortunately, many people's skin suffers under the tremendous workload.

Age-Old Solution for Present-Day Problem:
Centuries ago, when scientific procedure was unknown, man's intuition governed his advancement. It made a lot of sense that mammalian hearts, kidneys, other organs, and glands should heal related human tissues.

Today, science affirms this belief by making known to us that related tissues from different species share many similar, even identical, biochemical elements. Thus the heart of a cow can strengthen the human heart; the pancreas from a sheep may help with a pancreatic problem; the liver of a deer ... ; etc. The animal organ feeds the human organ with needed nutrients for its re­generation and recovery.

Although the connection between mammalian cartilage and human skin is not intuitively evident, it is nevertheless scientifically validated. Both skin and cartilage are built upon a
framework of connective tissue. And so it is reasonable to expect that the connective tissue elements from the one will feed, therefore help, those same elements in the other.

For example, collagen is a protein constituent of connective tissue. Since it constitutes a full 33% of total body protein, you can be sure that it is found not only in the skin but also in the cartilage (and obviously in many other tissues.)

Special Processing:
Don't get too excited about eating your way back to health with lamb hearts or cow livers. They have to be RAW! The heat of cooking destroys the nutrients (biochemical elements). For example, collagen is denatured above 50°C (120°F), as are most proteins.

This is the reason that Biolanyn Skin Cream is cold-processed!

Feed Your Skin:
Bovine cartilage skin cream, Biolanyn, saturates damaged skin with the building blocks necessary for rapid connective tissue repair.

Because skin is on the outside of the body, the application of Biolanyn cream behaves much the same as an injection in that the benefits become apparent quite quickly -- often in a matter of hours.

The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts

Synergy:
The cooperative working of two or more factors to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects.

Example: Three men, working together, can push a car faster than if they were to take turns pushing individually, or: 3x >x + x + x

Beyond Synergy:
The cooperative working of an unfragmented package of naturally occurring factors to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects.
Example: Bovine cartilage applied to the skin is of greater benefit than the sum of effects of the individual components applied separately.

WHOLE Cartilage Skin Cream: Biolanyn
Proline, glycine, lysine, glucosamine, collagen, glycosaminoglycans (eg. chondroitin sulfates), hyaluronic acid, proteoglycans, zinc, manganese, iron, copper, silicon, vitamin C, other known and many unknown factors are all in­volved in the structure and biochemistry of connective tissue.

Sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans and collagen are common active ingredients in skin cream formulations. They cannot provide the full benefits of WHOLE
cartilage skin cream, BIOLANYN, because they are isolated factors from a greater whole.

The health of our skin is highly dependent upon its ability to rebuild and repair itself. It can do this only if it has access to ALL the required raw materials in their proper ratios upon demand.

Scientific Rationale:
1995: 'In natural food ... the micro nutrients (vitamins and minerals) are not just isolated actives, they are bound to a complete food complex of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (these are called macro nutrients), as well as, important co-nutrient factors like nucleic acids, amino acids, bioflavonoids, coenzymes, fatty acids, and digestive enzymes.

Our body requires nutrients that are complex and wholesome like nature provides in food ... Food is not just a single vitamin source." ¹

1985: "The action of and availability of many nutrients depends upon the simultaneous presence of others." ²

1972: "Some enzymes depend for activity only on their structures as proteins, while others require in addition non-protein structures, or cofactors, for activity. The cofactor may be either a metal ion or a complex organic molecule called a coenzyme; sometimes both are required." ³

1958: "Vitamins are integral parts of Coenzymes and so function." ⁴

1940: "The natural vitamin complexes contain the various related principles that are normally found together in foods. The more we study those complexes, the more complex they appear. That is why synthetic and chemically purified 'Vitamins' are really not vitamins at all. They are only fragments of vitamins." ⁵

1936: "A unit of natural vitamin D is 100 times more effective in preventing rickets in children than a unit of irradiated ergosterol (synthetic vitamin D)." ⁶

Philosophical Rationale:
If one believes that God created the earth and life upon it and, furthermore, integrated everything to function together, then it is reasonable to assume that this integration extends also down to the molecular level.

1st Century A.D.: We know that integration is a characteristic of God's awareness because Scripture tells us that "all things work together for good to those who love God." ⁷

While Adam and Eve were eating the forbidden fruit, possibly an apple, God was more concerned about the serious consequences of this act of disobedience, but He was also at the same time aware that "the apple contains over 200 chemicals that interplay in over 1300 reactions in the digestive and assimilation processes. It is this very complexity in interrelationship that sets life apart from non-life." ⁸
