LIFEWAVE THE STORY OF THE X39TM | 2

A CTI V A TE Y OUR S TEM CELLS
ACTIVATE YOUR STEM CELLS!

Inside these pages you will learn about the most dramatic anti-aging and
rejuvenation product of our time. Benefits can be immediate. Unlike most
products, LifeWave X39™ goes to work the minute you apply it.
SUPPORTS WOUND HEALING

Some of our most dramatic testimonials on the X39 have been in the
area of wound healing. Wound healing is, of course, a natural
process and requires the presence of stem cells. However, as we
age our stem cells become less effective. Now, with X39, you can
activate your stem cells and provide support for your body’s natural
healing process.
RAPID PAIN RELIEF

X39 users can experience dramatic reductions in pain. In fact,
most people experience a reduction in the sensation of pain and
inflammation within minutes of application.
GREATER ENERGY
Clinical studies performed by LifeWave show that the X39 patch
improved a person’s energy levels. When compared to the baseline
there is an improvement in overall energy of the body, organ
balance, and L/R symmetry distribution of energy.
SLEEP BENEFITS
Clinical studies performed by LifeWave show that X39 improves
the quality of sleep by altering levels of GABA, an important
neurotransmitter in the brain. The benefit is a natural improvement
in the quality and duration of sleep.

IMPROVED SKIN APPEARANCE

Would you like to not only feel younger but look younger as well?
Now you can, with X39. An important part of activating stem cells
is increasing the production of collagen. The result is that only a
few weeks after applying X39 your skin will start to experience a
significant reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
DRAMATIC ANTI-AGING
Initial clinical work performed by Dr. Loren Pickart showed that when
GHK-Cu is elevated in the body, cells essentially are restored to a
younger state and begin behaving like younger, healthier cells.
FASTER RECOVERY FROM EXERCISE

Users of X39 report significant improvements in their sports
performance and recovery. Since stem cells are designed to
repair damaged cells, this is not surprising.
REDUCED INFLAMMATION
Many users of X39 report that after several weeks of using the
product, they notice a reduction in the appearance of scars. This
is a well-known attribute of elevating copper peptides known as
remodeling.
Most of us would like to have the best anti-aging strategies and products
possible, and now you can with X39. Elevating GHK-Cu is a proven method to
reset thousands of genes back to a younger, healthier state. The result is an
unparalleled level of health and vitality.
READ ON AND TAKE THE X39 JOURNEY AHEAD!

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Imagine a product that can activate your stem cells,

resetting them to a younger, healthier state. This
would represent a whole new level of vitality with
improvements to your energy, sleep, reduction in pain,
reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles and
support of faster wound healing, just to name a few of
the benefits.
Introducing the LifeWave X39 patch: The first product ever that is designed to
activate your body’s own stem cells. How does X39 accomplish this? Using our
proprietary and patented form of phototherapy, X39 elevates the peptide GHK-
Cu. This is a naturally occurring peptide in your body that declines significantly
with age. In fact, after the age of 60 your levels of GHK-Cu have dropped by
more than 60%.
Independent third-party clinical studies on GHK-Cu have determined some

remarkable benefits including, support of the body’s natural wound healing
process. Perhaps even more remarkably, GHK-Cu resets the genes in the body
to a younger, healthier state. In initial clinical work performed by Dr. Loren
Pickart, Dr. Pickart discovered that old liver cells, when exposed to GHK-Cu,
started to function like younger, healthier cells!
Over the past 10 years, I and the research team at LifeWave in San Diego,
California have been investigating new methods for dramatically accelerating
the way in which the human body heals after injury. The discoveries and
inventions that we have created have led to more than 70 global patents in the
field of regenerative science. Some of these inventions are so groundbreaking
that in initial trials with flat worms (a biological stem cell model) they show a
phenomenal 90% improvement in the speed of wound healing.
Later studies with animals and humans showed that in fact with specific
applications of electromagnetic fields created by some of these devices, the
activity of stem cells could indeed be enhanced, and both animals and humans
could heal much faster as compared to no therapy being applied.

INTRODUCTION
Here is another way to express the problem to be solved. As we age, the stem
cells in our body become less and less effective. By the time we reach age
60, the stem cells in our body show very little activity, becoming slower and
releasing less of the growth factors that are needed to repair our body. By the time
we are in our mid-70s, we are showing almost no stem cell activity at all. This is
why people who are older have such a difficult time healing from injury.
Most companies working in the field of stem cell medicine inject stem cells
from a younger donor person into an older recipient. While this is promising,
the problem is that this is potentially dangerous (uncontrolled cell division),
costly (in excess of $10,000 for a single treatment) and not legal (most
countries have not approved stem cell therapy). But what if there were a way
to “reset” our own stem cells and get them to start acting like younger,
healthier cells. This would be incredibly safe, incredibly effective and extremely
inexpensive. That’s what we have done.
I was born in the early 1960s, and when the 1970s came along, I was a big fan of
the TV show “The Six Million Dollar Man.”
For those of you not familiar with this TV show it was the story of Colonel Steve
Austin – played by Lee Majors – who was involved in an accident while testing
an experimental plane. The plane crashed, and Colonel Austin was left barely
alive, with the loss of both legs, his right arm, and his left eye. Fortunately,
Steve Austin had a friend in the government who was able to offer him a radical
solution: replace those damaged body parts with robotic parts, making him the
world’s first bionic man.
In the introduction to the show, a narrator says “He will be better than he was
before. Better. Stronger. Faster.”
Let’s move forward 40 years from the airing of this TV show, and some
remarkable things have taken place since then. In fact, many of the futuristic
concepts talked about in shows like The Six Million Dollar Man and Star Trek are
realities today!
In the TV show, Steve Austin, with the aid of his bionic limbs, can run at 60
MPH, lift cars and see over great distances. Interestingly enough, there is a new
technology that the US government has been developing that is a new type
of contact lens. It will give the user telescopic vision just like in the TV show!
If there is military technology to allow people to run 60 MPH, then it must
still be classified.

INTRODUCTION
But what about us regular people that want to achieve our fullest potential and
don’t want to have robotic limbs? Is there a way that we too can become better,
stronger and faster?
And if you’re someone that is not interested in sports performance but just
wants to have the best quality of health available, can new technology offer us
something to solve the problem of declining health with age?
And what if you are already suffering in pain from an illness or injury. Is there
something that will give you control over your life and rid you of this pain forever
without having to resort to addictive drugs?
The answer to all of these questions is a resounding “YES!”.
I founded LifeWave in 2002 as a research company based on a new technology

that I had invented (and later patented) for improving health with a new form of
phototherapy. In August of 2004, we went to market and LifeWave was an immediate
success, generating $17 million in sales in our very first year. Since then, LifeWave
has become a global company with offices in the United States, Ireland and Taiwan,
and distribution to more than 100 countries. LifeWave has truly become an
international success story.
What is it that people love about LifeWave and why have we been so successful?
• Our Energy patches are a new way to get you through the day without
caffeine and give you that extra energy from increasing fat burning.
• Our IceWave patches have been clinically documented to relieve pain in
minutes, all without any drugs or side effects.
• Glutathione is the body’s most important antioxidant, and our light-based
method of elevating glutathione offers unparalleled benefits, including
increased rates of detoxification and immune system support.
• Carnosine is a miracle nutrient for improving strength, stamina, and cognitive
function, and our patch technology has you experiencing the benefits of
carnosine your very first week of use.
• Aeon is our revolutionary anti-aging patch based on how a queen bee can
outlive a worker bee by 50 to 60 times. Using Aeon daily allows you to
manage stress and inflammation and, up until X39, had been our best-selling
product since its release.

INTRODUCTION
With all of these life-changing products, who could want anything more?
Well as it turns out there has been a “new frontier” developing in the
regenerative medicine community over the past several decades, and it is “stem
cell medicine” or “stem cell science.”
Stem Cells are the future of health and medicine, and here is why:
• Stem cells could potentially cure diseases such as Parkinson’s, diabetes and
Alzheimer’s.
• Stem cells could rapidly heal burns, relieving pain and saving lives.
• Since stem cells are the precursor to every cell in the body, the potential exists
to regenerate the body from damage, even entire organs or entire limbs.
• Stem cells could help us to stay younger longer, or even reverse the aging
process
So, if stem cells are so great, then why aren’t they being used today? How come
you cannot just go to your doctor for “a shot of stem cells”? Well as it turns
out, there are MANY good reasons as to why stem cell therapy is generally NOT
available today:
• Most countries around the world have NOT approved stem cell therapy.
• Stem cell therapy is very risky with about a 30% chance that the stem cells
will actually damage the body.
• Stem cell therapy today has a low chance of success (about 30%).
• Stem cell therapy is extremely expensive.
• The therapy is not practical for an individual to use on a regular basis.
This presents an interesting challenge then. How can we get the benefits of stem
cell therapy TODAY without the risk, without having to spend huge amounts of
money, and without having to wait for the therapy to become legal? As it turns
out there is now an answer, and LifeWave has it!
After many years of research, LifeWave has developed a new product called
X39. This LifeWave patch is a method of “activating” the stem cells that already
exist in your body (more on that later). The initial users of X39 called the
benefits “remarkable,” “incredible” and “life-changing” and soon so will you.
What can “activating” stem cells do for you?

INTRODUCTION
• Users of X39 report an instantaneous relief of pain and improvement in

mobility
• Dramatic improvement in the quality and length of sleep
• Rapid wound healing
• Decrease in the appearance of lines and wrinkles
• Decrease in the appearance of scars
• Greater energy levels
• Improvement in libido
• Youth renewal
• And more!
More information on stem cells will be discussed later in this booklet.
After developing products for over 30 years, and holding over 100 patents and
patent applications globally, I can truly say that at this point in my life, X39TM is
my greatest achievement. Having a product that works this quickly and provides
these many benefits seems like a miracle, or too good to be true, but it is simply
applying the magic of stem cells to the human body. Thank you for joining me
on the story you are about to read, and like many others before you, you will feel
that this is the first day of the rest of your new life.
Yours in Health and Wellness,
David Schmidt
Founder and CEO, LifeWave

A NEW A P P R O A CH T O HEA L TH
A NEW APPROACH TO HEALTH

What is it that you really want from life? Would you like to look and feel
younger? Do you want to have more muscle and less body fat? Do you want
boundless amounts of energy and stamina? How about a life that is free of pain?
Or maybe you are someone that just wants to be able to get a good night’s
sleep. If any of this describes you, then you are in the right place at the right
time because LifeWave has the answer.
Now when it comes to improving health most people have a variety of different
things that they think about.
• “I’ll go on a diet or start to eat more healthy foods.”

• “I’ll start an exercise program.”
• “Maybe I’ll try that new health supplement.”
• “My doctor tells me to use this drug for my condition.”
• “There is nothing that I can do so I guess I will just accept it as aging.”
Here are some unfortunate facts: Diets do not work for most people, most
people do not stay committed to an exercise program, there is no “magic pill”
for health, and all drugs have side effects. And if you are in the category of just
accepting it as aging, then be thankful you are reading this right now because
there is hope.

What if there was a completely new approach to health? What if there was a
way to improve upon your quality of life that did not involve any type of diet,
exercise program, drug or supplement? And what if this new approach was
patented, backed by science and clinical research, and had a proven track
record? Welcome to the world of LifeWave.
LifeWave is a new technology in the field of phototherapy. What is

phototherapy?
“Light therapy—or phototherapy —consists of exposure to daylight or to

specific wavelengths of light using polarized light, lasers, light-emitting
diodes, fluorescent lamps, or very bright, full-spectrum light. The light is
administered for a prescribed amount of time and, in some cases, at a
specific time of day.
Many ancient cultures practiced various forms of light therapy, including

people of Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, and Ancient Rome. The Inca,
Assyrian, and early German settlers also worshipped the sun as a health-
bringing deity. Indian medical literature dating to 1500 BCE describes a
treatment combining herbs with natural sunlight to treat non-pigmented
skin areas. Buddhist literature from about 200 CE and 10th-century
Chinese documents make similar references.
The Faroese physician Niels Finsen is believed to be the father of modern

phototherapy. He developed the first artificial light source for this
purpose. Finsen used short wavelength light to treat lupus vulgaris, a skin
infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He thought that the
beneficial effect was due to ultraviolet light killing the bacteria, but recent
studies showed that his lens and filter system did not allow such short
wavelengths to pass through, leading instead to the conclusion that light
of approximately 400 nanometers generated reactive oxygen that would
kill the bacteria. Finsen also used red light to treat smallpox lesions. He
received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1903.
Since then a large array of treatments using controlled light have been
developed. Though the popular consumer understanding of “ light therapy”
is associated with treating seasonal affective disorder, circadian rhythm
disorders and skin conditions like psoriasis, other applications include
the use of low-level laser, red light, near-infrared and ultraviolet lights for
pain management, hair growth, skin treatments, and accelerated wound
healing.” (Wikipedia reference)

LifeWave takes a completely new approach to phototherapy:
• Instead of an active light source such as a laser or lamp, LifeWave utilizes a

convenient patch that reflects very specific wavelengths of light to the skin.
• The nerves on the skin are stimulated by these specific wavelengths of light,
and this triggers a very specific chemical reaction in the body.
• Because there is no drug or supplement involved, LifeWave patches go to
work immediately.
• There are different patches for different applications. So, no matter what your
interest, we have a product that is right for you.
• LifeWave is cost-effective, safe and backed by over 70 clinical studies.
The science of LifeWave has been advancing for the last 16 years, starting in
2002 when David Schmidt first discovered he could increase energy production
in human cells using very specific wavelengths of light. He created a patch
technology that people could wear for increasing energy that would reflect
specific wavelengths of light onto the surface of the skin as opposed to
ingesting chemicals such as caffeine.
Over the last 16 years LifeWave patches have been gaining worldwide credence
and use, bolstered by continuous research and documentation of effectiveness.
Acceptance of LifeWave patch technology is occurring because David Schmidt
has invented phototherapy products that anyone can use. His LifeWave
technology has taken phototherapy out of labs and clinics and put it into
people’s homes.

LifeWave phototherapy technology ranges from energy enhancement to

improved sleep, stress reduction, and antioxidant production.
Now LifeWave is introducing the new X39 patch, an advance in promoting stem
cell science that is affordable, effective and now proven by research to have
far-ranging health benefits. The X39 patch is the most technologically advanced
patch ever invented.
How do the patches work? A person who uses LifeWave patches utilizes the
body’s own energy in the form of infrared body heat to power up or activate
the materials in the patch. The patch then reflects light on to the skin which
stimulates the nerves on the skin. The result is a specific change in the bodies
biochemistry, such as “activating stem cells”.
As described in other sections of this booklet, David Schmidt has discovered

how to harness the power of peptides. Peptides have many functions in the
body, but one of the most important is that peptides are communication devices
that the body uses to initiate various chemical processes including antioxidant
production, inflammation control, and stem cell activation.
By now, reading this you may be thinking “okay, there is science and science can
be wonderful, but what I want to know is, will it meet my needs?” If your needs
are relief from pain, a desire to feel better and become better, feelings of vitality
and youth, and living healthier by enhancing cellular energy, then you need to try
the X39 patch.

Some individuals who have been using the X39 patch for months have
nicknamed the X39 patch ‘True Beauty’ because of the reduction in the
appearance of lines and wrinkles. Other people have been amazed by the effect
of the X39 in rapidly relieving pain. Still others have been shocked to see that
they are healing the way they did when they were in their twenties.
Just how well does LifeWave work?
Let’s use our pain-relieving product IceWave as an example. In 2013 a double-

blind placebo-controlled clinical study on IceWave was performed at a hospital
in France by Dr. Pierre Volckmann. Dr. Volckmann is recognized as the most
prominent expert on pain management in France.
The results of this study were incredible. Over 90% of participants experienced
pain relief within minutes of use, and remember that this was WITHOUT any type
of drug; only light.
Or let’s say you were suffering from poor sleep. A clinical study conducted by
the prominent neurosurgeon Dr. Norm Shealy concluded that by using Silent
Nights patches, the length of sleep could be improved by a staggering 60%. The
quality of sleep was also improved.
But what if you are already pain-free, you sleep well and are in relatively good
health? First, congratulations! But what about the aging process? We know
that aging is not kind and eventually even the healthiest of us will fall victim to
the aging process. But the good news is that it does not have to be this way.
Now, there is a new product that can offer amazing YOUTH RENEWAL benefits,
and like our other products, it is all based on light.
Read on to learn about how stem cells are the future of health and medicine, and
how LifeWave has the only product available for activating those stem cells and
putting them to work for you, achieving benefits never before possible.

S TEM CELLS: THE FUTURE OF HEA L TH AND MEDICINE
STEM CELLS:
THE FUTURE OF HEALTH AND MEDICINE
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are cells that have the potential to change into other types of cells
in the body during growth and development. In adults, stem cells serve as
the body’s repair system in that stem cells possess the capability of dividing
to replenish themselves. Stem cells also possess the capability of turning
into specialized organ cells in a process called differentiation. It is through
stem cell differentiation that stem cells can replace damaged organ cells. It is
through the replacement of damaged cells by new organ cells, derived from
stem cells, that regeneration occurs. The use of stem cells to treat human
diseases is now termed “regenerative medicine.”
Why are stem cells important?
Stem cells are different from other kinds of cells in the body in that they
are unspecialized cells that have the capability of turning into any type of
specialized cell. Stem cells are located throughout the body, and they may
remain dormant (non-dividing) for years until they are activated. Activation
of stem cells to differentiate into specialized cells occurs when a need
arises for new cells to maintain organ and tissue function. Also, injury to
tissues can stimulate the activation of stem cells, when adequate capability
of peptide production and gene expression still exists. All stem cells are
capable of dividing and renewing themselves, but as we age the peptides
that activate stem cells decline and stem cell renewal drastically slows down.
When the process of cell death exceeds renewal and stem cell-initiated
repair, organ degeneration begins, health will deteriorate and eventually, if
organ functions fall too far, death soon follows.

How are stem cells used?
Although doctors have known about stem cells for over 60 years, it was
not until 1968 that doctors used bone marrow stem cells to perform the
first successful bone marrow transplant. Currently, doctors can now harvest
stem cells from blood and fat. These stem cells can then be injected back
into the bloodstream or directly injected into tissues. While many people
can experience a benefit, the process is very expensive and can cost tens
of thousands of dollars for each injection. Costs of stem cell injections vary
widely, and insurance does not cover many of these procedures, which are
still considered experimental by many insurance companies. Clinics that
harvest your own stem cells from blood and fat are now present in many
countries and USA states. Generally, reinjection of harvested stem cells is
well tolerated. Just about any condition you can think of is a candidate for
stem cell injections.
Another possibility is that harvested stem cells from blood and fat can also
be induced to divide to grow larger amounts in labs. Cloning of stem cells
allows doctors to give larger amounts with each injection, but this process
is prohibited in many countries. “The FDA contends that any process that
includes culturing, expansion, and added growth factors or antibiotics
requires regulation because the process constitutes significant manipulation
(Reisman and Adams, 2014).”
Unfortunately, government regulations severely restrict the use of stem cells

and regulations differ widely across the world. New research over the last ten
years has discovered that specialized adult cells from the skin, liver and other
cells can be forced to revert back to undifferentiated stem cells. However,
this process is mainly confined to university and biotechnology labs and
is very expensive. Also, some of these converted stem cells will grow into
tumors, so safety issues have not yet been resolved. “Ensuring the safety and
efficacy of stem cell-based products is a major challenge, says the FDA. Cells
manufactured in large quantities outside their natural environment in the
human body can potentially become ineffective or dangerous and produce
significant adverse effects such as tumors, severe immune reactions, or
growth of unwanted tissue (Reisman and Adams, 2014).”

Who needs stem cells?
EVERYONE!
How can stem cells help you?
Stem cells can actually treat many conditions and diseases that are currently
untreatable by any current therapy. The major issues at this time are safety,
efficacy, legality and cost.
What are my options?
At this time in history, each person is faced with very limited choices
regarding stem cells:
1. Do nothing and let nature take its course.
2. Pay for stem cell injections that may not be legal or safe.
3. Investigate alternative methods of improving health.
(Reisman M, Adams KT. Stem cell therapy: a look at current research, regulations, and remaining
hurdles. P T. 2014;39(12):846-57.)
In summary, in the future (perhaps the next 10 to 20 years) injections of stem

cells will be very common, and stem cells will be used to treat illnesses that are
deemed to be incurable today. At the moment most stem cell treatments are
not legally authorized, carry significant risks, have a very low chance of success,
and are incredibly expensive. The need exists today for a way to benefit from
stem cells without the above disadvantages.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND LIFEW A VE
THE SCIENCE BEHIND LIFEWAVE

How do LifeWave patches work?
LifeWave non-transdermal patches are phototherapy products that stimulate

the skin with light to produce health benefits not obtainable by other
approaches. The patches reflect light in the infrared and visible wavelength
range to stimulate the body to improve energy production and the flow
of energy in the body. Other effects include reduction of pain, reduction
of stress, improvement in the duration and quality of sleep, detoxification,
reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and many other general
health and wellness benefits.
The Infrared spectrum of light, which includes all radiation between

wavelengths just beyond those of the deepest reds of the visible spectrum
(700 nm) up to (100,000+ nm (the microwave range), is established to have
multiple effects including pain relief properties (Putowski et al., 2016). The
infrared spectrum also creates photobiomodulation when applied to the skin
of both animals and humans. Research and application of light therapy dates
back thousands of years, and today light therapy is a recognized science with
many products that function on this basis having been approved for use in
medical applications by governments around the world, including the FDA in
the United States.
What is photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation is the low-power non-thermal delivery of photons in

the visible or near infrared spectrum (405–1000 nm) that elicits a beneficial
biological response in cells and tissue (Liebert et al., 2017).
Exposure of humans to light “… has been shown that signaling pathways

are triggered within the cells, transcription factors are activated, and gene
expression patterns are altered. Exposure to photobiomodulation results
in key physiological changes – increased anti-inflammatory cytokine levels,
decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, upregulation of antioxidants
and survival factors, increased cell proliferation and reduced levels of
apoptosis (Hamblin, 2016).”

A simple way to understand this is to think about how our bodies respond
to sunlight. When we go in the sun, ultraviolet light will cause our body to
produce Vitamin D, an excellent example of how a specific wavelength of
light will cause a chemical change in our body. By using other wavelengths
of light we can achieve other health benefits.
What does photobiomodulation do in the body?
Photobiomodulation:
1. Increases production of multiple antioxidants including glutathione;
2. Increases peptide production and the release of signaling peptides in

tissues;
3. Exhibits anti-inflammatory effects and improved pain control;
4. Increases cellular production of energy (ATP);
5. Increases protein synthesis;
6. Regenerates tissues (Vatansever et al., 2012).
Although traditional methods of infrared photobiomodulation are typically

based on the use of infrared lamps, lasers, and light emitting diodes as the
source of infrared light, many natural materials are also capable of absorbing
and reflecting infrared light from a source of light. For example, there are
“infrared wraps” commonly used in Japan for pain relief (Vatansever et al.,
2012).

What we have done at LifeWave is to use organic materials confined to

patches placed on the skin that are capable of absorbing infrared light (body
heat) and retransmitting specific wavelengths back into the body. These
LifeWave patches are a revolutionary discovery that has been proven to be
effective by numerous open-label and double-blind studies completed since
2002. These studies can be found at www.LifeWave.com. This technology
has already been proven to reduce pain, improve sleep, increase energy
production, improve the appearance of the skin, increase antioxidant levels
and increase peptide synthesis. We have now taken LifeWave into the next
generation by utilizing this technology to increase the production of a
peptide called GHK-Cu, a naturally occurring material in the body proven to
activate stem cells in the body.
How has David Schmidt done this?
In the late 1990s until 2002 David Schmidt was an owner in a company
involved in developing survival equipment for the US Navy through
government contractors. As a result of this work he was invited to be part of
a design team for the Navy’s next generation mini-sub. This mini-sub was to
be manned by Navy SEALs, and a need existed to find a way to improve
the energy and survivability of the crew without having to resort to drugs.

Earlier in his career David had conducted energy medicine research at Pace
University while pursuing a degree in biology. This research performed in
the late 1980s involved the use of electromagnetic equipment of his own
design to selectively target and treat neuroblastoma cells. The research was
a success and demonstrated that electromagnetic energy, when applied
properly, could influence the health and well-being of a cell. David decided
that he would continue research along these lines and develop an energy-
based product to solve the needs for this project.
It is important to note that research funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced

Research Projects Agency) and conducted by Whelan indicated that there
were specific wavelengths of infrared light that could initiate elevation
of mitochondrial energy (Whelan et al., 2001a, 2001b). Stimulation of
mitochondria is important because the mitochondria provide ATP, the basic
chemical unit of energy for cells. ATP is the chemical responsible for energy
release in injury repair, muscle contraction, peptide production, and pain
relief.
“It is generally assumed that the formation of a peptide bond requires at

least five ATP. Nevertheless, experimental values suggest a much greater
ATP requirement for peptide synthesis or related processes (van Milgen,
2002).” It has been shown in this regard that specific wavelengths of light
633nm and 810-890nm can both elevate ATP production, increase peptide
production and produce pain relieving effects. LifeWave patches have been
found to emit wavelengths of light in these ranges.

During his investigation of the effects of light on the human body David also
learned that research studies had established that the biological effects of
light on the body were not specific to devices that produce light. Instead, it
is light at specific wavelengths that create the biological effects and not the
device which produced it. At first, he experimented with jade, tourmaline
and ceramic materials that absorb human infrared energy.
David’s breakthrough came when he recognized that the waveforms of

infrared and visible light produced by organic materials would match
biological structures better than the waveforms produced by inorganic
materials or electronic devices.
So, he started experimenting with specific types of organic sugars and

amino acids. He created solutions composed of stereoisomers of L-amino
acids and D-sugars capable of self-assembly into nano-sized crystals that
when activated by body heat emits specific wavelengths of infrared and
visible light known to act through phototherapy and photobiomodulation to
produce physiological effects in both animals and humans.

“Stereoisomers are isomers that differ in spatial arrangement of atoms,

rather than order of atomic connectivity. One of the most interesting types
of isomer is the mirror-image stereoisomers, a non-superimposable set of
two molecules that are a mirror image of one another. The existence of
these molecules is determined by a concept known as chirality. Chirality
essentially means ‘mirror-image, non-superimposable molecules” (http://chem.
libretexts.org/Core/Organic_Chemistry/Chirality/Chirality_and_Stereoisomers).
In more detail, isomers are two compounds with the same formula but
have a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and exhibit different
properties. It is the unique properties of the use of different isomers along
with differently sized nano-crystals in the different patch products that
provide LifeWave patches with their different effects.
The LifeWave patches like the X39 patches are manufactured by

impregnating a disc of fabric with a proprietary solution of chiral
stereoisomers. The impregnated fabric, in turn, is sandwiched and sealed
between two films of high-density medical-grade plastic that is impermeable
to moisture and other environmental factors. A layer of medical-grade
hypoallergenic adhesive is applied to one side of the patches, so that the
patches may be easily and conveniently applied to the surface of the skin
(Schmidt, 2014).

Chiral stereoisomer molecules are used in the nanocrystal LifeWave

patches because these chiral nanostructures are optically active and have
photophysical properties (Litvinov, 2016.) “Similarly, to transitions between
energy levels in an atom, a photon can be emitted or absorbed during
charge carrier transitions between energy levels in nanocrystals (Litvinov,
p. 12, 2016).” “The transition frequencies, i.e., absorption or luminescence
wavelengths, can be tuned by altering the nanocrystal size. Apart from this,
the nanocrystals possess unique optical properties, such as wide absorption
spectrum (Litvinov, p. 12, 2016).”
LifeWave patch proprietary formulas are designed to produce differently

sized nano-crystals in the different patch products as can be seen in
electron micrographs of LifeWave patches produced by Dr. Marc Stuart in
2013. Nanostructures are usually considered as particles less than 100 nm in
dimension.
The organically-based optically active nanocrystal mixtures in LifeWave

patches operate as localized reflectors that absorb and trap a large part of
body heat (wideband infrared emission) and reflect a specific part of the
spectrum in a narrow band in the infrared spectrum back to the body.
Research published in 2006 by Tulip and Clark confirmed the principle

concept of the patches when these scientists demonstrated that solutions of
amino acids would form optically and electrically active molecular crystals.
LifeWave has pioneered the development of this technology that uses

structured bio-molecular nano-crystals to emit specific wavelengths of
light for the production of photobiomodulation effects in both humans and
animals. When a LifeWave patch is placed on the surface of the skin, the
technology provides the ability to safely transmit specific wavelengths of
light to optimize certain biological functions such as energy production,
peptide synthesis, and pain control. These devices are essentially passive
transmitters that use organic nano-crystal antennas which have both
photonic and electronic (dielectric) properties. The nano-crystal antennas
in the LifeWave devices absorb infrared radiation (body heat) in the range
of 700-20,000 nanometers and emit light in the infrared and visible spectra
back into the body. The small nanometer-size crystals in LifeWave patches
exhibit spectroscopic properties, such as light absorption and light emission.
“The term dielectric is used to indicate the energy storing capacity of the
material (by means of polarization) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric).”

“A dielectric material is a substance that is a poor conductor of electricity,

but an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields -an electrostatic field can
store energy. An important property of a dielectric is its ability to support an
electrostatic field while dissipating minimal energy in the form of heat. (http://
whatis.techtarget.com/definition/dielectric-material).”
LifeWave has developed this new technology for energy production, pain
management, sleep improvement, peptide production, stress management
and, with the X39 patch, production of the peptide GHK-Cu that turns on
(activates) stem cells. LifeWave patches can safely be combined with other
therapies. In fourteen years with hundreds of thousands of users, there have
never been any reports of drug interactions or interference with implantable
medical devices such as pacemakers. So by introducing the X39 patch,
LifeWave is harnessing the power of stem cells to promote healing.
“No physician in the history of humanity has ever healed a patient. Only
the cells of the patient can heal the patient. Only cells know how to close
wounds, understand what to do with insulin and how to destroy pathogens.
The best a physician can do, is to move obstacles out of the way of cells
(e.g., by surgery), supply materials and weapons to the cells (e.g., drugs
and building blocks of life) and leave the fight against disease to the cells.
Harnessing the power of the cells is the fundamental basis of Regenerative
Medicine (DR. JOSEPH PURITA - www.stemcellorthopedic.com).”

GHK -CU – WHA T THE RESEARCH SHO W S
GHK-CU – WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS

What is GHK?
GHK is an abbreviation of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine which is a human copper-

binding peptide. Research has shown that GHK is both safe and non-toxic
(Pickart et al., 2012b). When anyone is considering the use of any product,
they have to answer three questions. 1) Is it safe? 2) Does it work? 3) Can
you afford the product? As you read this booklet keep these three questions
in mind.
Okay so GHK is a peptide, but what are peptides?
Peptides are chains of two or more amino acids. Peptides are not only the
building blocks of proteins, but they are also bioregulators and hormones
that control genetic expression and the biological activity of all the cells in
the body.
Why are peptides important?
Since the 1960s an increasing amount of research has discovered that

peptides play a significant role in regulating biological aging. The Russian
military initiated much of the original peptide research in efforts to make
their soldiers stronger and more resilient. This research was headed
by Professor Vladimir Khavinson who determined that peptides are
bioregulators that can slow down the aging process. While this booklet is
basically about the peptide GHK-Cu and its effect on stem cells and
genes, it now appears that other peptides like glutathione and carnosine
are also gene regulators.

As biologically active peptides decline with age, gene expression also

declines resulting in decreased protein synthesis. Reduction of proteins and
enzymes in the body results in impairment in metabolism and tissue repair
producing age-related decline and degeneration of the body. Methods that
increase peptide availability are now known to have anti-aging effects.
This booklet will explain the extensive research on the peptide GHK-Cu.
GHK-Cu levels are high in young people, but the concentration of GHK-Cu
drops in humans with increased age. In a study performed at the University
of California at San Francisco, young male medical students (age 20–25),
were found to have about 200 nanograms/mL of GHK-Cu in their blood
plasma, while the healthy, male medical school faculty (average age of 60)
had a decline of 60% with a plasma levels of only 80 nanograms/mL
(Pickart, 2008; Pickart et al., 2017).
Following the original discovery of GHK-Cu in 1973 by Loren Pickart,

numerous articles and publications have appeared in the scientific
literature discussing its beneficial and incredible properties.
Benefits of GHK-Cu (Pickart et al., 2012; 2014; 2015; 2017; 2018, 2018b)
GHK-Cu can:
• Increase stem cells

• Activate over 4000 genes to more youthful levels
• Reduce pain
• Reduce anxiety
• Repair DNA damage and promote DNA repair

• Produce antiaging effects at a cellular level

• Promote organ regeneration
• Suppress the production of fibrinogen which reduces the tendency of
forming blood clots in the circulatory system
• Improve blood flow in tissues
• Tighten loose skin and increase the thickness of aged skin
• Improve skin hydration
• Stimulate the production of collagen
• Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity
• Reduce appearance of fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and improve the
structure of aged skin
• Smooth rough skin
• Reduce photodamage, mottled hyperpigmentation, and skin spots
• Improve overall skin appearance
• Stimulate wound healing
• Protect skin cells from UV radiation
• Reduce inflammation and free radical damage
• Promote hair growth and thickness, enlarge hair follicle size
GHK is an effective copper transporter
• The blood protein albumin is the main source of copper transport in the
bloodstream. The peptide GHK has the ability to acquire copper ions
from albumin and move copper into cells of injured tissue (Pickart et al.,
1980; Lau et al., 1981).
• “Due to its small size and unique copper-binding characteristics, GHK
may be able to facilitate rapid exchange of copper in the intracellular
space (Pickart et al., 2018).”
• GHK plays an important role in regulating copper availability at a cellular
level. The key concept is that GHK provides the body with the ability to
correct copper imbalances at a cellular level (Pickart et al., 2012b).
• A deficiency of intracellular copper impairs the activity of the copper-
dependent enzyme SOD (superoxide dismutase). When SOD activity is
impaired, cells are subjected to oxidative stress that disrupts many
cellular functions including DNA functions and energy production. When
the energy production of cells is compromised to an extreme degree,
the cells die. Cell death is the opposite of cellular regeneration.

• Copper delivery into cells is also essential for stem cells to start
proliferating and regenerating tissues (Pickart et al., 2015a).
What role does copper have in injuries?
• Copper is an essential element in the anti-oxidant protein SOD (copper-

zinc superoxide dismutase. Also, copper bound to GHK activates genes
involved in antioxidant production and tissue regeneration to promote
wound healing, pain control, reduce inflammation and stimulate stem cell
generation (Pickart et al., 1980; Uauy et al., 1998).
• Copper is involved in multiple biochemical processes besides antioxidant
production. Copper is also involved in growth and differentiation, and
nervous system health (Pickart et al., 2018).
• Memory problems and cognitive decline are common problems of an
aging population. Peptides like GHK that produce both antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory activity are capable of restoring copper balance and
youthful gene functioning. Restoring gene function in this way produces
an anti-aging effect and may play a beneficial role in reducing age-
associated cognitive decline (Pickart 2012b).
• For many years it was thought the effects were due to the ability of GHK
to deliver small amounts of copper into cells (Pickart et al., 1980), but new
research since 2010 has determined that GHK, when bound to copper,
modulates the action of over 4000 genes to a healthier state (Hong et al.,
2010; Campbell et al. 2012; Pickart et al., 2015a; Pickart et al., 2017).
Gene effects of GHK:
• Since Loren Pickart discovered GHK-Cu in 1973 many research studies

have been initiated. As these studies were reported in the scientific
literature, numerous effects were identified as being caused by GHK.
Over time the question arose of how such a simple peptide could cause
such a wide range of effects (Pickart et al., 2018b). The answer came
when gene expression studies were done on over 13,400 human genes.
These gene expression studies found that GHK affected nearly 1/3 of
human genes, moving their gene activity to a more youthful state.
• “GHK’s copper activates regenerative and protective genes (Pickart et al.,
2017).”
• GHK activates antioxidant genes (Pickart et al., 2015). GHK has been
found to elevate levels of antioxidant enzymes and increase glutathione
levels.

• GHK activates gene expression involved in wound healing. So far it has

been established that GHK accelerates wound-healing of the skin, hair
follicles, liver, gastrointestinal tract, brain, and bone tissue (Pickart et al.,
2014). However further research may find that GHK has broader effects
on multiple other organs.
• GHK-Cu stimulates gene expression of DNA Repair genes (Pickart et al.,
2017). DNA damage in young people is usually quickly repaired, but as
aging progresses DNA repair slows down. Promotion of GHK to youthful
levels can help reestablish the activity of DNA repair genes and can
diminish the deteriorating effects of aging (Pickart et al., 2014).
• GHK stimulates genes that remove damaged proteins (Pickart et al.,
2017).
• GHK stimulates expression of nerve-related genes involved in brain repair

(Pickart et al., 2017).
• GHK-Cu can directly modulate over 4000 human genes and more
importantly can reverse gene expression to a more youthful healthier
state producing an anti-aging effect (Lamb, 2007; Iorio et al., 2010;
Campbell et al., 2012)!
• GHK-Cu is present in large amounts when people are young, but the
levels decline with age. GHK is typically released when tissues are injured
which helps explain why people heal much faster when they are young
than when they are of advanced age. Numerous clinical studies have now
shown that methods that increase GHK-Cu cause injuries to heal faster
(Pickart, 2008).

Skin
• Clinical studies have shown that GHK-Cu can tighten and firm loose skin,
and improve skin thickness and elasticity. GHK-Cu can also reduce fine
lines and wrinkles, reduce, hyperpigmentation, and reduce sun damage
(Finkley et al., 2005; Pickart et al., 2015a).
• GHK-Cu is proving to be one of the most effective molecules that
promote skin repair and regeneration (Gorouhi et al., 2009). GHK
stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin; both proteins are
necessary components of youthful skin (Pickart et al., 2018b). With age,
the skin loses collagen and elasticity and begins to sag and wrinkle. GHK-
Cu has been found to improve the appearance of skin, sometimes in a
dramatic fashion.
• “Krüger et al. confirmed an increase in skin thickness in the range of the

epidermis and dermis, improved skin hydration, a significant smoothing
of the skin by stimulating collagen synthesis, increased skin elasticity, a
significant improvement in skin contrast and an increased production of
collagen (Pickart et al., 2018b).”
• Skin regeneration depends on maintaining the viability and proliferative
potential of stem cells. Unfortunately, skin stem cell proliferative potential
declines with age. Promoting GHK-Cu to more youthful levels is capable of
restoring the gene activity of healthy stem cells (Pickart et al., 2015a).

Wound healing
• Deficiencies in GHK-Cu associated with aging can result in less optimal

wound healing.
• It is clear from multiple clinical studies that GHK-Cu can speed wound
healing through a variety of mechanisms including increasing stem cells in
the skin, producing growth factors, activating youthful genes, increasing
the production of collagen and elastin, increasing antioxidant levels,
reducing inflammation, and increasing blood flow into wounds (Pickart et
al., 2008; 2012b; 2018b; Gul, 2008; Gruchlik et al., 2012).
• By controlling oxidative stress and inflammation and by providing copper

delivery to injured tissues, several factors that impede wound healing can
be addressed by GHK-Cu (Pickart, 2008).
• “In 2003 Canapp et al. demonstrated that GHK-Cu improved healing of
ischemic wounds and suppresses inflammation by lowering the level of
acute-phase inflammatory cytokines such as TGF-beta and TNF-alpha
(Pickart et al., 2012b).”
• By helping to reestablish blood flow into injured tissues GHK provides
essential nutrients and oxygen necessary for wound repair.

Pain and anxiety effects
• Pain studies so far have been limited to animal studies since most
humans will not willingly participate in scientific research where they have
pain inflicted upon themselves.
• Both mice and rat studies have shown that GHK improves pain control
and reduces anxiety (Bobyntsev et al., 2015; Sever’yanova et al., 2017).
• Gene studies have also found the seven anti-pain genes increased with
GHK-Cu (Pickard et al., 2018B).
• Since LifeWave has introduced the new GHK-Cu patches, numerous

unsolicited testimonials have been received from distributors who have
remarked how the patches have improved their pain control along with
improved energy and sleep.
• Dr. Steve Haltiwanger, the Health and Science Director, has also observed
rapid resolution of pain in numerous individuals upon whom he has
applied the patches.
• Perhaps the most remarkable discovery regarding the X39 patches is
that they are an effective pain management system that works for many
types of chronic pain.

GHK -CU – A BETTER W A Y T O BENEFIT FROM S TEM CELL SCIENCE
GHK-CU – A BETTER WAY TO BENEFIT FROM

STEM CELL SCIENCE
What role does GHK-Cu have in stem cells and anti-aging?
• More than a decade ago, scientists discovered it was possible to create

stem cells by reprogramming a person’s skin cells.
• Back in 2007 Takahashi and colleagues proved that the use of peptides
could produce stem cells from skin cells. These stem cells were
pluripotent, which means they were capable of transforming into all of
the cell types that make up the body making them capable of repairing
different tissues and organs (Takahashi et al., 2007).
• Scientists determined that they could use this procedure to create any
cell type in the body and study the basic biology of specific diseases that
afflict people, ranging from Down syndrome to diabetes.
• Stem cells residing in the skin can mobilize when skin is injured, and
GHK-Cu is naturally released by the tissues when injuries occur, but
older people have less GHK-Cu to release. Increasing GHK-Cu levels by
external measures have the benefit of activating stem cells causing them
to migrate from the skin and change their differentiation program where
they can change into other types of cells to promote organ repair and
regeneration (Gonzales et al., 2017; Pickart et al., 2018).
• Beneficial effects of raising GHK-Cu back to youthful levels have been
confirmed for many organs such as skin, lungs, liver, intestinal lining,
nervous system and bones (Pickart et al., 2015; Pickart et al., 2018).
“The effects of GHK cover a wide range of physiological processes,
from regeneration and wound healing to anxiolytic, anti-aggression and
analgesic effects. GHK increases the level of antioxidant enzymes and has
an anti-inflammatory effect (Pickart et al., 2018).”
• Basically, GHK-Cu has been found to regulate gene expression in the
process of stem cell activation. During stem cell activation some genes
that have been silenced during aging or down-expressed have to be
turned on, while other genes have to be suppressed or silenced (Yang et
al., 2015).

• Stem cells are influenced by the tissue niche they are located in and are
affected by the microenvironment in which they reside. The chemistry of
the extracellular matrix particularly the presence of peptide regulators
affects the mobility, growth, and differentiation of stem cells (Gaur et al.,
2017; Pickart et al., 2018).
• “An examination of the GHK-induced actions on gene expression relevant to
stem cell function finds many genes that control development and
differentiation, cell growth, RNA and DNA synthesis and transcription
(Pickart et al., 2018).”
• The stem cell biotech firm Gamida Cell of Jerusalem, Israel, has a patent
in which they claim that GHK increases proliferation of stem cells, and
when GHK binds to copper in the body the GHK-Cu causes stem cells to
progress into differentiated cells (Peled et al., 2010).
• GHK-Cu activates genes that control stem cell production in nervous
tissue (brain) and other organs, which produces both antioxidant
protective effects as well as regenerative effects (Pickart et al., 2017). GHK
helps increase the number of dendritic connections in the brain; these
connections are an important component of memory function. GHK
enhances the production of Nerve Growth Factor, a critical factor
involved in brain repair. GHK activates genes and causes the body to
release chemicals that are involved in pain control. The analgesic effect of
GHK is well recognized in animal studies.
• The gene activation effects in brain stem cells may potentially prove
to be of great benefit to older people who are having declining mental
functions.
• Biologically active GHK-Cu has a multitude of reported antiaging effects
including wound healing, regeneration of aged skin, tissue regeneration
(skin, hair follicles, stomach and intestinal linings, hair growth, brain, and
boney tissue) and activation of stem cells (Pickart et al., 2012: Pickart et
al., 2017).
• In summary, for anti-aging effects to occur resident stem cells in the
tissues have to be activated. Peptides like GHK-Cu can also cause some
differentiated cells to revert to pluripotent stem cells and acquire mobility
where they travel to regenerate other organs (Blanpain et al., 2014; Oritz
et al., 2017).

WHAT THE X39 CAN DO FOR YOU

The X39 patch was first released on a prelaunch basis July 2, 2018. The first
users of this patch product reported some remarkable benefits.
These included:
• Many cases of “instantaneous” pain relief (pain relief within seconds of
application)
• Reduction in inflammation
• Very rapid wound healing
• More energy
• Much deeper sleep
• Enhanced mental clarity
• Faster recovery from exercise
• Better sports performance
• Healing of old injuries
• Tightening of the skin
• Hair growth (reported by some people).
But are all of these things really possible from one product? And if so, then
how would this be possible at all? Let’s dive a bit deeper into why the above
experiences are not only possible but why we would expect these things to
happen.

Pain Relief and Reduction in Inflammation

GHK-Cu has been shown in clinical studies to have anti-inflammatory
properties. What is interesting about this is that the exact mechanism
remains unclear (up until a few years ago, it was not known how aspirin
provided pain relief). That said, a study on the GHK peptide and its copper
complexes decreased TNF-alpha-dependent IL-6 secretion in normal
human dermal fibroblasts. IL-6 is an interleukin cytokine that can be either
inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. So this suggests that GHK-Cu could
modulate IL-6 to being anti-inflammatory.
The anti-inflammatory properties of GHK-Cu make it a viable alternative to
corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of
inflammatory skin conditions.
In practice, the X39 patch is simply applied to the back of the neck, and this
will provide pain relief just about everywhere in the body. As an option, you
may also apply the X39 to the site of pain. Here are two different examples:
Joe D. had problems with his knees for years, having been through a knee
replacement surgery, and plagued with chronic inflammation and pain
around his knees which limited his mobility. This knee pain greatly interfered
with Joe’s ability to enjoy a round of golf. When Joe was introduced to
LifeWave, every day he would apply five patches (which included IceWave,
Aeon and Glutathione) to the knees. By using all these patches on his
knees, he was able to manage the pain and inflammation. However when
Joe was introduced to the X39, he was able to remove ALL of these five
patches and simply use just one X39 patch directly on the knee. This
actually gave him better results than using those other five patches. And
now Joe is playing the best golf of his life.

Christine G. has had problems with both knees as well. Some of her
favorite activities have included skiing and dancing, but in recent years
she has tended to avoid these activities because the knee pain and
stiffness was too great. When Christine was introduced to the X39, she
applied one patch to the back of the neck. Within minutes she noticed a
significant reduction in pain and stiffness in her knees. As Christine
continued to use the X39, her results continued to improve to the point
where she went out dancing with her friends to celebrate!
So here we have two cases with very similar problems, and both individuals
achieved the similar results; one with a placement directly on the pain, and
the other just by simply applying to the back of the neck.
Very rapid wound healing

One of the most well-studied areas of research on GHK-Cu has been in the
area of wound healing. This is extremely exciting when we consider HOW
wound healing is taking place, and what this means to the improvement in
our quality of life.
It was in the late 1980s that GHK-Cu started to attract the attention of
researchers as a natural compound that could be used to help promote
improved wound healing. Some of this early research took place at the
Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France.

At the proper concentrations, GHK-Cu was shown to stimulate the synthesis

of collagen in skin fibroblasts. This, of course, is necessary for wound
healing but has the obvious application at helping to tighten and firm the
skin. What was also significant about this research in France was that GHK
was present in collagen, which suggested that this peptide is released when
an injury takes place. This would explain why, as we age and the amount of
GHK-Cu in our bodies decreases, our ability to heal also declines. GHK-Cu
also increased synthesis of decorin – a biochemical involved in the regulation
of collagen synthesis, wound healing regulation and anti-tumor defense.
Maquart, FX; Pickart, L; Laurent, M; Gillery, P; Monboisse, JC; Borel, JP (1988). “Stimulation of
collagen synthesis in fibroblast cultures by the tripeptide-copper complex glycyl-L-histidyl-L-

lysine-Cu2+”. FEBS Lett. 238 (2): 343–6. doi:10.1016/0014-5793(88)80509-x.
Wegrowski Y, Maquart FX, Borel JP. Stimulation of sulfated glycosaminoglycan synthesis by
the tripeptide-copper complex glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-Cu2+” Life Sci 1992; 51(13):1049-56
Siméon, A; Wegrowski, Y; Bontemps, Y; Maquart, FX (2000). “Expression of
glycosaminoglycans and small proteoglycans in wounds: modulation by the tripeptide-
copper complex glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-Cu(2+)” . J Invest Dermatol. 115 (6): 962–8.

doi:10.1046/j.1523-1747.2000.00166.x.
It is, of course, normal in research to move from in vitro testing (test tubes)
to animal studies before doing any human testing. A series of animal
experiments at various laboratories established the pronounced wound
healing activity of GHK-Cu. In one study involving rabbits, the dermal
wounds were evaluated. It was found that GHK-Cu facilitated wound
healing, causing better wound contraction, faster development of granular
tissue and improved angiogenesis (development of new blood vessels).
Importantly, antioxidant levels were elevated.

complex and helium-neon laser on wound healing in rabbits.” Vet Dermatol. 19 (1): 7–14.

417–23. doi:10.1111/j.1365-3164.2006.00551.x.

The studies above were looking at healing a localized wound. However, what
has also been found in research studies is that GHK-Cu also promotes an
improvement in wound healing throughout the entire body.
GHK-Cu has been found to induce a system-wide enhancement of healing
in rats, mice, and pigs. As an example, when GHK-Cu is injected in one
area of the body (such as the thigh muscles), improved healing is observed
at another part of the body (such as the ears). Injecting GHK-Cu in these
studies strongly increased measures of healing such as collagen production,
angiogenesis, and wound closure. [17]

complexes with amino acid or peptide. US Patent 5,164,367, 1992.
In one study, a wound 6mm in diameter was induced on the back of rats.
For 13 days the wounds were treated daily with topical GHK or given no
treatment. At the end of the study, the wound size had decreased by 64.5%
in the GHK group and by 28.2% in the control group. The difference between
the GHK group’s wounds and those of the control group was statistically
significant.

healing of ischemic open wounds.” Vet Surg. 32 (6): 515–23. doi:10.1053/jvet.2003.50070.
PMID 14648529.

The fact that GHK-Cu has worked so well in both the laboratory and in
animal studies is fine, but what about clinical studies with human beings?
In 1994 a clinical study was published in the journal Wound Repair and
Regeneration looking at this same question. In this study a 2% GHK gel
showed promising results in the treatment of 120 diabetic patients, increasing
the percentage of ulcer closure from 60.8% to 98.5%, and decreasing the
percentage of infection from 34% to 7%. The rate of healing was three times
greater with GHK.

Here is an excerpt from the abstract of this study:

The copper binding tripeptide GHK (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine) is a naturally
occurring plasma peptide that significantly declines during human aging.
It has been established that GHK:Copper(2+) improves wound healing and
tissue regeneration and stimulates collagen and decorin production. GHK-Cu
also improves the condition of aging skin and hair, and possesses antioxidant
and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, it increases cellular stemness and
secretion of trophic factors by mesenchymal stem cells. GHK’s antioxidant
actions have been demonstrated in vitro and in animal studies. They include
blocking the formation of reactive oxygen and carbonyl species, detoxifying
toxic products of lipid peroxidation such as acrolein, protecting keratinocytes
from lethal Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, and blocking hepatic damage by
dichloromethane radicals. This paper reviews biological data demonstrating
positive effects of GHK in skin and proposes interaction with antioxidant-
related genes as a possible explanation of its antioxidant activity.

One of the most common experiences people report with the X39 patch
is an improvement in energy levels. When the Energy patches were first
developed in 2002, and then first sold through our network in 2004, it
was established with multiple clinical studies that the Energy patches were
upregulating which is known as beta oxidation (fat burning) by around 23%.
As the body derives more energy from fat than carbohydrates, it was easy to
see why people were reporting the feelings of more energy.
The Aeon patch was released in 2011, and this patch has been designed to
reduce inflammation and increase antioxidant production with the benefit
of providing stress relief. People who use Aeon often report feeling calmer
during the day as well as having more energy from this stress reduction.
It is hypothesized at this point based on the data we have that the X39 is
increasing the feeling of energy that people have through the reduction of
inflammation, oxidative stress, and elevation of antioxidants. Since we
know that GHK-Cu provides these benefits, and that inflammation and
oxidative stress reduce a person’s energy capacity, this is a reasonable
conclusion. In the future, there may be studies that look at this specific
benefit of the X39 patch.
As of December 2018, a clinical study completed by Dr. Thornton Streeter
did in fact demonstrate that continued use of the X39 patch resulted in an
overall improvement of a person’s energy levels.

As a review, following is what LifeWave has substantiated by its own clinical

research as the benefits that come from wearing the X39 patch on a regular
basis:
SUPPORTS WOUND HEALING

Some of our most dramatic testimonials on the X39 have been in the
area of wound healing. Wound healing is, of course, a natural
process and requires the presence of stem cells. However, as we
age our stem cells become less effective. Now, with X39, you can
activate your stem cells and provide support for your body’s natural
healing process.
RAPID PAIN RELIEF

X39 users can experience dramatic reductions in pain. In fact,
most people experience a reduction in the sensation of pain and
inflammation within minutes of application.
GREATER ENERGY
Clinical studies performed by LifeWave show that the X39 patch
improved a person’s energy levels. When compared to the baseline
there is an improvement in overall energy of the body, organ
balance, and L/R symmetry distribution of energy.
SLEEP BENEFITS
Clinical studies performed by LifeWave show that X39 improves
the quality of sleep by altering levels of GABA, an important
neurotransmitter in the brain. The benefit is a natural improvement
in the quality and duration of sleep.

IMPROVED SKIN APPEARANCE

Would you like to not only feel younger but look younger as well?
Now you can, with X39. An important part of activating stem cells
is increasing the production of collagen. The result is that only a
few weeks after applying X39 your skin will start to experience a
significant reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
DRAMATIC ANTI-AGING
Initial clinical work performed by Dr. Loren Pickart showed that when
GHK-Cu is elevated in the body, cells essentially are restored to a
younger state and begin behaving like younger, healthier cells.
FASTER RECOVERY FROM EXERCISE

Users of X39 report significant improvements in their sports
performance and recovery. Since stem cells are designed to
repair damaged cells, this is not surprising.
REDUCED INFLAMMATION
Many users of X39 report that after several weeks of using the
product, they notice a reduction in the appearance of scars. This
is a well-known attribute of elevating copper peptides known as
remodeling.

CLINICAL S TUDIES
CLINICAL STUDIES
As of December 2018, LifeWave has completed more than 80 clinical studies on its
products since 2002. X39 is no exception, with clinical research comprising
traditional blood, urine and saliva analysis along with various bioelectrical data
such as Heart Rate Variability. We have also completed clinical work utilizing self-
assessment to determine how X39 improves such things as pain management and
sleep.
The following is a summary of a study performed by Dr. Melinda Connor on the

X39 patch. This study explores the metabolic implications and physiologic results
of wearing the Lifewave X39 patch over the period of one week. Measures were
taken at baseline, 24 hours and at 7 days of wearing the patch.
A sample of convenience of 15 subjects made up of both men and women aged

40-65 were selected to participate in this study. For the purposes of this study
the Sabre Sciences HPA2 metabolic suite has been selected. The HPA 2 Profile
includes both urine and saliva collection.
The urine evaluates 5-HTP, Serotonin, Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine,

GABA, Glutamate, Histamine, L-DOPA, Normetanephrine, Metanephrine
3- Methoxytyramine. The saliva evaluates, Cortisol and DHEA. Several additional
measures have been added to the HPA2 suite, Glutathione, and a cysteine to
cystine ratio will also be tested using the urine sample.
All study participants had testing done at base line, 24 hours and 7 days. Six
minute recordings of EKG, pulse, respiration, heart rate variability (HRV), temp,
blood volume pulse, galvanic skin response, 2 EMG (muscle) leads.

CLINICAL S TUDIES
A series of questionnaires were administered to support metabolic findings.

Marlowe Crowne (accuracy of findings), McGill Pain Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep
Quality Index, AIOS-VAS (for vitality and well-being), Profile of Mood States
(POMS) (anxiety/depression), WAIS III (short- and long-term memory).
After only one day of wearing X39, people reported feeling better. After one week
of using X39 there was statistical significance showing clear overall improvement
in the feelings of vitality and wellness.
WAIS III (short and long term memory)

WAIS III is a well-established intelligence test which includes a standard
memory test. There was a clear improvement in short term memory by day 7.
It is also interesting that there was improvement in both mid- and long-term
memory as well, though to a much lower degree.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

This questionnaire showed an immediate strong shift the first night, though it
was not quite significant. The shift by day 7 was significant.
This is particularly important as sleep strongly effects everything else related
to health and well-being.
Metabolic outcomes urine testing

Amino acids and neurotransmitters play a critical role in health and well-
being If an individual’s amino acid and neurotransmitter production is
broken, the individual cannot maintain body health for long.
The number of statistically significant changes demonstrated in this study
shows the powerful impact of the X39.
Among the 20 biochemicals improved include: Epinephrine, GABA,
Histamine, Normetanephrine, PEA (Phenylethylamine), Alpha-aminobutyric
acid.
Epinephrine - Marker of Response to Stress
GABA - Quality of Sleep, Anxiety, Mood
Histamine - Measures Inflammatory Response
Normetanephrine - Measure for Adrenal Glands
PEA (Phenylethylamine) - Indicator for Mood and Cognition
Alpha-aminobutyric acid - Indicator for GABA Synthesis
A number of amino acids also improved:

Cystine - Involved in Glutathione Formation
Glutamine - Involved in Intestinal Repair
Lysine - Immune Function
Leucine - Muscle Repair
Tryptophan - Involved in Sleep

CLINICAL S TUDIES
Heart Rate Variability

HRV measures ratios of the low frequency and high frequency muscle
contractions in the heart.
Statistical significance was achieved in demonstrating that X39 helps to
support the health of the heart.
BVP-HR, EMG, Skin-Condition, Temperature and Respiratory Rate

Reduction in blood pressure and improved muscle relaxation are consistent
changes which are present in the physiology data.
Greater flexibility in HRV in the over age-60 population is an important finding.
Summary
The data from this study shows improvement in:
• Blood pressure and overall health of the heart
• 17 statistically significant amino acid changes over the 7 days
• Key neurotransmitters involved in overall health
• Improvement in sleep levels
• Improvement in short-term memory
• Improvement in reported feelings of overall health and vitality.

REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH X3 9 ( T E S T I M O N I A L S )
REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH X39

“AFTER 30 DAYS STICKING WITH X39 MY SHOULDER GOT
BETTER BY 80%”
“In August 2017, I injured my right shoulder in a fall. Diagnosis: tear of two
tendons For personal reasons, I refused an operation. Medical treatments and
physical therapy until April 2018 did not improve it at all. Almost any sleeping
position caused me pain and I have not slept through a single night for months.
In July 2018, I began to use X39 locally. Over two weeks I had no improvement
again, but on day 18 my shoulder felt a bit lighter. After 30 days sticking with X39
my shoulder got better by 80% Since I swam regularly and competitively, it was
extremely frustrating not having been in the pool once for almost one year. I will
use X39 for another month and I am convinced that my shoulder will be 100%
resilient and pain free afterwards.”
- Wolfgang
“NO PAIN… CLARITY… IMPROVED VISION”

“I am so excited to share with you my X39 experience: I have been wearing
the patch for just 20 days. I feel better and have more every day: I have no
pain waking up, clarity of the mind, and my eyesight has improved. I am 62
years old and so I am happy to have again vaginal secretions (many women
suffer from vaginal dryness) But I have been surprised by my husband’s
results: he suffered from depression, with anger issues, joint stiffness and
muscle twitches. While sleeping he often screamed. So, I decided first for a
10- day AEON application to go with X39 and after just 20 days my husband
got back to being a quiet gentleman with a sweet smile/no grudge nor
anger/and he walks normally! Thanks from my heart.”
- Prof.ssa Rossella Savo
“MY SKIN LOOKS MUCH YOUNGER AND HEALTHIER”

“I have noticed after I have been using X39 for 2-3 weeks my skin looks much
younger, healthier and shines 24/7 with or without make up. I am so excited,
thank you for this discovery!”
- Betty Aslanis
“NO PAIN… MORE ENERGY… GOOD SLEEP”

“I felt very good, no pain in my back and knees, overall more energy and good
sleep. And it was that way from day one.”
- Karen Madsen

“WITHIN 60 SECONDS THE PAIN WAS ALMOST GONE”

“On Saturday, I stepped on a small nail, it went 12 mm into my right food. This
really bugged me as I had a football match scheduled for the next day at
12.00. I got help cleaning the wound and dressed it with a band aid. I stacked
a x39 patch onto the band aid. Within 60 sec. the pain was almost gone and
was able to walk normally. and now 18 hours later I am playing sports again.”
- Michael Kongsbak Jonasson
“QUICK HEALING POWER”

“My testimonial with the X39 is especially the quick healing of 3 scratches
while doing the garden. I think I will see more change on my skin over the
months with the X39 (sun spots among others). I have used patches for 11
years and I have a very good diet. Now most people have health problems and
pain, the testimonials are eloquent and great. A big future with the X39.”
- Frederic Larché
“THE FIRST TIME I AM PAIN FREE AFTER MORE THAN 10

YEARS”
“I had a lower back pain for more than 10 years. It is much worse when I am
sitting in the airplane. Even after I took the pain killers. 2 hours later the pain
wold come back unbearable. One day I brought this round little patch with
me. It is called X39- It is a stem cells patch, completely natural, no chemicals.
It activates my own stem cells. I put it on when I was in the airplane. The whole
flight was with no pain at all. This is the first time after more than 10 years. It
is amazing. When I flew back home I tried it again and still no PAIN. The most
important thing is, it’s completely natural. Because my husband is a doctor he
likes to use it for giving him energy. No money can buy PAIN FREE.”
- Nancy Boksberger
“IT’S AMAZING”
“I received a video testimonial on the X39. Two days ago I encouraged a lady
in Arusha, Tanzania that I have known for some time to try X39. Emiliana has
been in and out of the hospital with lumbar displacement. She can hardly
sit. She can’t turn in bed. They sent me her medical report and X-ray. After
applying X39; Day 1 she felt less pain in her waist. Last night she heard her
back pull and twist. She then felt some calmness. Shortly thereafter she was
able to turn in bed. This morning she bathed herself. By the time they were
doing the video she had sat down for 3hrs. She stood up and walked a bit in
the video. She says she is going to tell her DR and everybody who knows her
condition. It’s amazing.”
- Anthony Massawa

“WOW, WOW, WOW. I AM VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT

HAPPENS IN MY BODY IN THE NEXT MONTHS!”
“My skin is tighter around my body and I have much more flexibility. The
X39 is repairing old injuries. I had a spinal disc herniation C4 for about 20.
Years, I feel how the X39 is working on that - my body is changing. I have an
underactive thyroid function. My Thyroid is swelling and of course I had some
symptoms like irritability, but now they have gone after two days. As a child
I broke my ankle, it used to hurt once in a while, since X39, this problem is
complete gone. I am studying at the moment to be a naturopath; my memory
is increasing incredibly. I am able to learn more quickly.”
- Pilar Heinrich
“TOTAL PAIN RELIEF WAS ACHIEVED”

“K.H. came to pain clinic. Had significant pain in right Deltoid Bursa. I had him
hold patch for 2 minutes and he received 90% pain relief. A patch was placed
on back of neck (C7), and then total pain relief was achieved. I gave him 5
patches to use at home per instructions to place on back of neck and below
belly button.”
- Norm Shealy, MD
“IT’S A MIRACLE”
“My wife has had severe hip pain for years. After the 2nd patch these were
her words “It’s a miracle.” She had not been able to move her leg in certain
directions but now she can!!! I also have had right hip pain. It is much easier
to put my sock on now. I am also able to do certain Jiu Jitu’s moves that I
have not been able to do in years. Also, when I squat, I would put my left knee
down and keep my right knee up. I am now able to squat normally with no
problem.”
- Dr. Michinori Tao
“X39 HAS GIVEN ME BACK MY LIFE!”

“I have been using the x39 for 28 days now. I am a 69 yr. old female with
a history of bilateral mastectomy and knee replacement. I am very active,
owning, caring for and riding two horses. I lost so much energy following
these medical procedures that I was sadly considering whether I could
continue my equestrian lifestyle. X39 has given me back my life! My energy
level has greatly increased and after 2 wks my sleep (another sad side effect
of medical procedures) has greatly improved. My mood is much improved and
life seems good again. I do hope x39 will be available to us soon, as I only have
2 days remaining!”
- Louann Hendricks

“HEALING CURVE IS FASTER”

“For 6 month I have had right knee trouble, some menisci issues, really painful
and a lot of swelling. It was getting better slowly with less pain and less
swelling. I put the X 39 patch directly on the knee and I can verify that it is a
lot better and healing curve is faster. After 2 weeks the pain had eased of and
I could put more and more weight on the leg. Now after 4 weeks my knee is
stronger and I am climbing the stairs and bicycling without any problem. I am
still putting it on to make sure that the cartilage will heal profoundly. Thank
you ever so much for X39”
- Pernille Knudtzon, MD
“MY HEAD AND VISION ARE MUCH CLEARER”

After using x39, my head and vision are much clearer. I am full of energy; my
face is brighter and cheeks are rosy.
