About the Book

BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging keeps it real. . .only better !!!

In their quest to retain a youthful appearance and fight the aging process, appearance-conscious, vanity-oriented Baby Boomer's and Generation X-er's are turning more than ever before to plastic surgery, Botox® injections, dermabrasion, chemical and laser peels, and other cosmetic procedures, spending millions upon millions of dollars every year.

However, each of those procedures carries with it an inherent risk of danger ~ possible complications from anesthesia and the risk of adverse and irreversible side effects ~ deformity, infection, scarring, pigmentation changes, nerve and muscle injury, etc. And they, and millions of others who cannot afford those expensive cosmetic procedures, are also spending billions of dollars every year on expensive anti-aging lotions, potions and creams, each of which claims to be THE definitive cure.

BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging offers the readers a natural, safe, painless, inexpensive alternative to the knife and needle. In BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging, Karen Gomez takes the readers on an entertaining journey through a 24-hour day, filled with fascinating factoids and personal anecdotal side-trips. This book is a collection of the best "anti-aging secrets" from her 30-year life experiment with "New Age," as well as ancient, natural anti-aging methods and techniques ~ for both prevention and rejuvenation.

Beauty comes from within, starting with how you feel about yourself. After a short lesson on how to make that small, but critical, attitude adjustment, BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging offers the reader a diverse array of simple, unconventional anti-aging techniques that take only a few minutes a day, are literally at your fingertips, and cost absolutely nothing! BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging combines elements of the ancient principles of Zen, yoga, color/light therapy, acupressure, reflexology, herbal therapy and naturopathy, with contemporary methods, practices and techniques such as visualization, imagery, "the power of positive thinking," autosuggestion, "self-speak" (what we say to ourselves), with proper breathing techniques, proper skin care, facial exercises, facial massage, and a healthy diet, including vitamins, minerals, supplements, and exercise that, when practiced on a regular basis, can be a renewal or rejuvenation program.

Complimenting the anti-aging techniques to be used without, BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging also contains a diverse array of simple anti-aging techniques to be used within, to minimize free radical damage ~ which is now believed to be the primary cause of aging. By controlling stress and eliminating negativity, utilizing deep breathing exercises, eating properly combined foods at the proper time of the day, avoiding food additives, preservatives and hydrogenated fats, and using other techniques described throughout the book, free radical damage can be kept to a minimum, thereby preventing the structural damage from cellular injury and breakdown which is the cumulative result of free radical damage ~ the wrinkled skin, stiff joints and hardened arteries of old age.

What makes BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging so unique is its author. Go to any bookstore, and you will find two types of books on beauty and anti-aging ~ the book written by the M.D. or Ph.D. which is based solely upon his or her scientific research findings (who usually do not visually typify their findings), and the book "written" by the celebrity du jour, whose recognizable face (after spending how much on plastic surgery, expensive cosmetic procedures, and professional make-up artists???) and name are used to market and sell the book.

Karen Gomez is not a researcher, scientist or celebrity, but just a regular, everyday person, who at the age of 51, after conducting her 30-year life experiment, is living proof that the techniques and methods contained in BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging really do work.

Before considering any type of cosmetic surgery or procedure, and before spending another dollar on expensive anti-aging lotions, potions and creams, give BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging techniques a try. It is natural, safe and painless, and won't cost anything but a few minutes of your time each day. BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging is your "Blueprint for Optimal Health and Anti- Aging!"

Remember: You're never too young or too old to start using BIOSynergenics! BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging keeps it real. . .only better !!!

About the Author

After a closed-head injury from an automobile accident left author Karen Renée Gomez with cognitive deficits and an inability to understand her pre-med courses, she had to drop out of Indiana University during her senior year. Her intended career in medicine came to a screeching halt.

However, in keeping with her altruistic nature, she has been helping people deal with personal crises, one injured person at a time, over the past 24 years in her career as a medical malpractice/personal injury paralegal, while at the same time, conducting her own 30-year life experiment with "New Age," as well as ancient, natural anti-aging methods and techniques (for prevention and rejuvenation), as well as controlling her own stress, and managing her own pain without drugs.

Drawing upon experiences from both her medical/legal career and 30-year life experiment, she offers a unique perspective on anti-aging and overall well-being.

While not a health care professional with academic credentials, at the age of 51, without cosmetic surgery or procedures, or expensive skin care products, she is living proof that the principles of BIOSynergenics work. (People have consistently guessed her age at least 10- 15+ years younger.) BIOSynergenics keeps it real. . .only better !!!

Testimonal and Excerpts

". . .Its 2:00 a.m. and I just finished reading your book. I was so impressed and so incredibly optimistic about my own life, after reading it, that I had to tell you now. I think I have read every book out there that pertains to the subjects discussed in your book, so I feel I am somewhat of a credible critic. Your book extracted the most important concepts that pertain to the things that people REALLY want to know about, and conveyed these subjects in a fun and energetic manner...I truly enjoyed reading it. In fact, instead of trying to go to sleep tonight, I kept saying to myself "just one more section." Then the next section seemed so interesting that I would have to read it also. The next thing I knew I was finished, and now here I am writing to you at two in the morning... You...have a way of articulating your thoughts that entices the reader to continue reading. Your book could have conveyed the same information and made me want to put it down out of boredom. But because of the way you incorporated your personality and personal life stories, all of what you were trying to "teach" seemed relevant...Once again, thank you for the chance to learn even more about subjects that already fascinate me.

INTRODUCTION

BIOSynergenics[TM]

bios - Greek, mode of life

synergism - from the Greek sunergos - working together (sun = together, ergos = work) the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements)

genesis - from Latin, birth

-ics - the act, practices or activities of

BIOSynergenics[TM] is a big word for a simple anti-aging and rejuvenation program that can be easily incorporated into anyone's daily routine. It is the result of my own 30- year life experiment, seeking natural anti-aging products and techniques. Regular practice of the BIOSynergenics[TM] program can help you retain your youthful appearance, or actually reverse the signs of aging so you can look at least 10-15 years younger!

BIOSynergenics[TM] combines some elements of the ancient principles of Zen, yoga, color/light therapy, acupressure, reflexology, herbal therapy and naturopathy, with contemporary methods, practices and techniques such as visualization, imagery, "the power of positive thinking," autosuggestion, "self-speak" (what we say to ourselves), with proper breathing techniques, proper skin care, facial exercises, facial massage, and a healthy diet, including vitamins, minerals, supplements, and exercise that, when interacting, produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, and when used or practiced regularly, can be a renewal or rejuvenation program.

Eight years ago, when I first started putting this program together, I called it the "Re*née System" (from my middle name), sort of a play on words, "née" being French for "born" (re-"born"). A total mind and body rejuvenation program to re-fresh, re-plenish, re-think, re-store, re-fine, re-joice, re-vitalize, re-new, re-generate, re-lax, and re-duce stress. The whole concept is essentially the same, but with a new name.

BIOSynergenics[TM] is an all natural anti-aging program that can also help you become happier, healthier, more efficient, more relaxed, more confident, and more successful. You'll be able to handle stress with ease, exorcise negative thoughts and memories in an instant, fall asleep faster and get a better night's sleep. You'll see diminished and softened lines on your forehead, and around your eyes and mouth. Your skin will be toned, and your neck and facial muscles will be firmer, especially when combined with the BIOSynergenics[TM] product line.

(Visit www.biosynergenics.com for information on my Face-Lift-In-A-Jar, and other natural skin care products) BIOSynergenics[TM] will help you feel radiant, and rejuvenate and energize your life!

I've been experimenting with and using the elements of BIOSynergenics[TM] over the last 30 years for anti-aging, relaxation, building confidence, developing a positive attitude, interacting with people, pain control, and coping with stress. Ever since I was in my 20's, people have told me that I don't look my age. I was still being asked for ID when I was in my 40's!

I turned 51 a few months ago, and people still guess that I'm in my 30's. For years, when I was asked what my secret was, I just laughed and said I did it with mirrors. My little secrets were mine - I wasn't about to share them with anyone. But the older I got, I started to feel a little guilty about it. Here I had been conducting a virtual life experiment, testing literally hundreds of things that I had either seen, heard or read about over the years, eliminating what didn't work, and without plastic surgery, a face lift, Botox®, collagen injections, laser or chemical peels, dermabrasion, or expensive facials, lotions, potions or creams, still managed to look at least 10-15 years younger than my age. My skin is still tight, smooth and wrinkle-free, and I don't have deep lines on my forehead, or around my eyes or mouth.

In 1996, when I finally told someone about all of my little secrets, she told me I should share them and write a book. After some thinking, I started to seriously consider it. Most books that you see on diet, exercise and beauty tips have been written by an "authority" on the subject because of their profession or research findings, or by a "current" celebrity whose name alone will sell the books. Usually their photograph has been airbrushed and retouched, or you later find out that they had surgery or other procedures to enhance their appearance. (Last year, the big news was that actress Demi Moore spent over FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to re-make herself before she turned 40!) Since I'm not an expert, a professional or a celebrity, I think the average person will be able to relate better to me and the ideas in this book. I've already done almost 30 years of experimenting, weeding out what works and what doesn't work. I'm just an average person myself. I'm not a health food fanatic (but I do try to eat healthy), I exercise (but not as much as I should), I drink wine occasionally. I have a stressful job, do the same mundane everyday things the average person does, and have the same kinds of everyday problems the average person has.

I had acne and a horrible complexion from the time I was 10 years old until I was 21. I was overweight, had low self-esteem, and absolutely no confidence as a teenager. I had no direction, no goals, no ambition for many years. Looking back on that time of my life, I'm sure I was depressed. I never had a date until late in my senior year, and I never went to the prom. My mother was a housewife, and extremely unhappy most of the time. She was hypercritical of everything I did, and extremely argumentative. Conversations with her were kept to a minimum, always trying to avoid an argument. She would ground me for the slightest "infraction" so I would be home to cook, serve and cleanup at her many parties. Once I was grounded just for rolling my eyes at my girlfriend when she yelled at my little brother to finish his dinner ~ she was having a dinner party that night. I was also grounded and couldn't watch TV if I didn't bring home all A's and B's on my report card (In fact, if I was grounded, no one bothered talking to me. I was a non-person.) I spent a great deal of my adolescent and teenage years in my bedroom. I had no social life at all.

My father was a traveling salesman, so he was hardly ever home, except on weekends, when they would fight most of the time. On weekends, everyone "walked on egg shells." They were both heavy drinkers, and their marriage was turbulent. My father pulled out his guns frequently and threatened to commit suicide. Once, after getting drunk at a neighbor's party, he came home, got a gun and was threatening to kill the guy (a lawyer). Thank God my boyfriend was able to take it from him before he got out of the house. Once he took something, and he was taken to the hospital by ambulance to have his stomach pumped. I cannot remember getting any parental guidance or advice from either of them - they were simply, there. We never had any meaningful conversations. The only "advice" I ever remember receiving from either of them was "Girls don't hold hands with each other" - I think I was about 5 or 6 - after my mother saw me holding hands with my friend as we ran up the hill to the school to play on the swings. I alienated myself from my family, and pretty much raised myself, having to figure everything out on my own. I had "issues" for years. My father died in 1988, and I still have no relationship with my mother.

On top of the emotional pain that I suffered for years while living at home, I later suffered from extensive psychological and physical pain. I've been raped twice. I was in several serious car accidents. A mean drunk who crashed our party pushed me down three flights of concrete stairs when I was in Fort Lauderdale after graduation from high school. During the summer when I was nine, I fell off the top bar of a swing set onto my head, and several weeks later, I fell onto my face trying to do a handstand on a slippery diving board. (That was a helluva summer!) I've torn ligaments in knees and my back. From my accidents, my neck and back are not in their normal curvature. I've torn tendons in my arm and shoulder. I suffered a closed-head injury in a car accident during my junior year of college which affected my ability to understand math and abstract ideas, which drastically affected my ability to learn genetics, microbiology, and some other pre-med courses, so I had to drop out of college during my senior year. I have two herniated discs in my back which they can't operate on, and nerve damage which causes burning and shooting pains down my back and legs, especially during bad weather.

All of these injuries have taken their toll and still cause some pretty significant pain on a daily basis. But, because I'm allergic to 99% of prescription pain medications, I've had to find ways to deal with the pain without drugs or surgery.

I've already been 20-, 30- and 40-something, and now I'm in my 50's. I have just entered menopause (lots of fun - but as you'll see later in this book, there are natural ways to deal with this phase of life, too). This book contains all kinds of information applicable for each decade of a woman's life. Women in their 20's and 30's can use the some information for prevention, and more mature women can use it for rejuvenation.

BIOSynergenics[TM] will work for men, as well (even the products), and anyone can use BIOSynergenics[TM] to enhance the quality of their life.

By using the principles of BIOSynergenics[TM], I have been able overcome a lot of negativity and adversity. I'm usually happy and in a good mood. I can now cope with stress, relax and laugh a lot. I lead a relatively healthy lifestyle. I've been happily married for 24 years. I'm a positive-thinker and despite my childhood, developed a healthy dose of self-esteem and self-confidence. And, with a little help from my BIOSynergenics[TM] products, look pretty darn good for a 51-year old grandmother!

****

It took seven (off-and-on) years of research (while working full-time) to validate and document all of "my little secrets," which I would now like to share with you.

Remember:

It's never too early, or too late, to start using BIOSynergenics[TM] ! BIOSynergenics Keeps it real. . .only better !!!
