Dr. Shealy has long been concerned about the pervasive health effects of oxygen free radicals. That’s why he is so excited about Mistica. “After years of examining every kind of functional food beverage, and hundreds of vitamin and herbal supplements, I have finally found a product that will actually make a significant improvement in oxidative damage,” says Dr. Shealy.
By the time he was 4-years-old, Dr. Norm Shealy, Synergy’s latest addition to the Medical Advisory Board, knew he wanted to be a physician. Now his ideas on natural health therapies and the importance of antioxidants are recognized throughout the country for their scientific rigor, creative scope, and wide application.
Dr. Shealy is particularly interested in Synergy’s Mistica and its unique combination of powerful antioxidants, phytosterols, and amino acids. Synergy extends a warm welcome to Dr. Shealy and is tremendously excited to have him join the company and lend his expertise to developing products that can changes peoples’ lives all over the world.
Dr. Shealy entered Duke University at age 16 and Duke Medical School at 19. He interned in internal medicine at Duke and then spent a year of general surgery at Banes Hospital, followed by a five-year residency in neurosurgery at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital. He is board-certified in neurological surgery. In 1977 he earned a Ph.D. in psychology from Saybrook Institute, the leading humanistic psychology school.
Dr. Shealy has appeared on numerous national TV programs, including The Tomorrow Show, Good Morning America, the Today Show, Oprah, the Wisdom Channel, and scores of regional and local television and radio programs. For 20 years he has had the most popular call-in radio show in the Ozarks on KWTO, 560 AM.
Throughout his career, Dr. Shealy has long been concerned about the pervasive health effects of oxygen free radicals. That’s why he is so excited about Mistica. “After years of examining every kind of functional food beverage, and hundreds of vitamin and herbal supplements, I have finally found a product that will actually make a significant improvement in oxidative damage,” says Dr. Shealy. “A while ago, before I joined Synergy, I was approached about Mistica, which was touted as a powerful antioxidant functional beverage containing extracts from the Brazilian Açai berry augmented with extracts from nine additional botanicals. I was skeptical, but I agreed to conduct a trial to examine the effects of Mistica on free radical damage.”
To measure the extent of ongoing free-radical damage in the body, Dr. Shealy used a test that measures malondialdehyde (MDA), a by-product of free radical damage to cell membranes. A small amount of urine is added to a colorless reactive agent that develops color in the presence of MDA. Higher levels of ongoing free radical damage in the body will create higher concentrations of MDA in the urine and a darker color on the assay.
“The results of the study were so impressive that I am thoroughly convinced that Mistica is a powerful and effective antioxidant,” says Dr. Shealy. “Mistica can help mitigate the effects of free radical damage in the body. This is the first, and only, example of a food supplement that I have found to have a significant impact on cellular membrane integrity.”
“Knowledge is power,” says Dr. Shealy. “You can harness this new knowledge by being proactive and assessing the free radical damage you are experiencing, and by using Mistica to mitigate the pervasive effects thereof. In my opinion, by doing so you will be taking a powerful step toward taking control of your personal health.”
In 1999, Dr. Shealy retired from actively seeing patients and now spends his time dedicated to further research and teaching. Having begun his career by alternative forms of treatment for patients, he now desires, through research, teaching, and writing, to blend what he and others have learned via his discoveries with the more traditional approaches to medicine.
