Dr. Robert H. Keller - The Story
Dr. R.H. Keller, MD MS FACP, Medical & Research Director of The Biodoron institute of advanced medicine and the CEO and director of research of Vit-Immune, Inc. had a distinguished academic career after medical school at Temple University and training in Internal Medicine, Immunology and Hematology at the University of Rochester and the Mayo Clinic.
During a fellowship and subsequent Assistant Professorship at the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, he introduced a new laboratory technology to identify cells at the Mayo Clinic.
Moving to Milwaukee, he became a faculty member in the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, Biophysics and Health Science at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Marquette University) and the University of Wisconsin, where he rose to level of Professor. He was also awarded two career development awards (Clinical Investigatorships) and the Superior Performance Award (for research) by the Veteran's Administration where he served as a Staff Physician and Director of the Marcus Center for Immunology Research.
During his academic tenure, he was awarded over 2 million dollars in research grants from both the NIH and VA; served on the scientific review panels for the NIH and VA; published over 100 original articles, invited reviews and book chapters in Immunology, Hematology and Medicine; was awarded two patents and served many consultantships including NASA during the Apollo Program.
In 1994, Dr. Robert H. Keller founded The BIODORON Institute of Advanced Medicine, a state-of-the-art medical clinic specializing in cutting edge treatment for immune system disorders and anti-aging.
After reviewing subject lab results for years, Dr. Keller noticed a trend. He kept seeing significantly low levels of uric acid in subjects with immune disorders. He decided to explore this finding, and his initial research concluded that uric acid is the last antioxidant at the body's disposal when all the normal antioxidants have been exhausted.
As Dr. Keller has always been a strong advocate of nutrition, he went back in the literature, seeking the answer to one question: If uric acid is the body's last defense, then what is the first? His investigation led him to a substance called glutathione.
Glutathione (GSH): The Master Antioxidant
Dr. Keller discovered that the most prevalent, powerful, and multifunctional antioxidant in the human body - employed by every organ - is glutathione.
Glutathione (GSH) is a small protein produced naturally in our cells if the requisite precursors are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. It has been suggested that in the future, GSH levels will be closely monitored. There are over 80,000 medical articles currently published on GSH, yet most health professionals have only a vague idea of its significance. In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized.
The Test...
After learning of the importance of GSH, Dr. Keller needed to test the hypothesis that the levels of GSH in subjects with immune disorders were, in fact, severely diminished. To get a current and accurate gauge of a subject's GSH level, Dr. Keller knew the test must measure GSH inside of lymphocytes (activated cells); however, no such lab test existed. Using a state-of-the-art medical laboratory, Dr. Keller and his team of scientists developed a proprietary lab test to measure levels of GSH inside the lymphocytes. The tests confirmed the hypothesis. People who are stressed, aging, lacking sleep, or with any prolonged illness, utilize glutathione at an accelerated rate resulting in decreased bodily stores, weakened defenses, and increased risk of illnesses, including accelerated aging.
The Challenge...
It was clear that the GSH levels needed to be replenished in these subjects. But how? Glutathione is produced naturally from three amino acids: glycine, glutamine, and cysteine. These essential precursors of GSH must be able to make it from the mouth to the gut, then through the cells walls, and subsequently the mitochondrial membrane. There lies the challenge. Unfortunately we can't raise our body's GSH level with ordinary foods or pure L-glutathione. Even though glutathione is present in many fruits, vegetables, and meats, this protein is instantly broken down during digestion into its three amino acids. Cysteine, or N-acetylcysteine (NAC), is the most important of these precursors and is the main limiting factor necessary for the body to manufacture GSH. Alone in the gut after digestion, cysteine is treated as a free radical and rapidly oxidized. Consequently, only a very small percentage reaches our bloodstream and cells. Furthermore, GSH is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed, so any GSH that is made will be used up quickly making it even more difficult to increase this level.
The Solution: MaxGXL...
After years of research and development, Dr. Keller developed MaxGXL, a product that contained the necessary components of glutathione that when absorbed into the body, stimulate the body's own production of glutathione to be used by every cell.
