INTRODUCING DR. GARNETT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF POLY-MVA
Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes and Poly-MVA were discovered and developed by Dr. Merrill Garnett, a researcher, biochemist and head of the Garnett McKeen Laboratory in Long Island, New York. Dr. Garnett’s research lies in the emerging field of Electrogenetics, developing electro-active compounds that target metabolic pathways. Dr. Garnett has received U.S. patents for his work.
For over forty years, Dr. Garnett has delved into the secrets of molecular biology and the biochemistry of cells. He realized that certain cellular functions were the failure of some cells to regenerate and replace themselves normally. He theorized that this failure of some cells to mature was a problem with the energetics (energy production, transference and regulation) in the cells and their complicated metabolic cellular interactions.
Dr. Garnett’s research expands on the concept that all normally developed cells contain a specific inward (or directed) energy flow in and around DNA/RNA, organelles that start in the Mitochondria and the cells’ energy cycle. He has researched those pathways which support proper electron or energy flow. Normal development requires a certain amount of energy and Dr. Garnett realized and found that by introducing supportive or symbiotic energy pathways normal cells and proper metabolic function can benefit.
Dr. Garnett began a long and difficult search to find a natural molecular compound that would support healthy pathways for normal development. Within those cell pathways that were missing, or deficient, his targeted cellular energy could be used to stabilize proper metabolic function. More specifically, he searched for a natural organic compound that would act as a metabolic shunt to support the cells’ healthy metabolism, or energy pathways.
After testing some 20,000 compounds, Dr. Garnett discovered that alpha lipoic acid bound to the mineral palladium and covalently bound to B-1(thiamine), created an extremely useful and safe cellular nutrient. Thus, in 1991, came about the biochemical formula known as Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes, from which POLY-MVA was derived. Multiple tests have shown Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes to be safe and effective. His complete journey can be found in his research and literature and as well as his personal journey detailed in his book First Pulse.
Dr. Garnett’s work continues in cooperation with other researchers and organizations to determine the mechanism and impact of the Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes for other uses and in developing other powerful supplement compounds.
