The incredible Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner has transformed the way we look at our health, and has created a business opportunity like no other in the world.
What is the Scanner?
It's a revolutionary tool developed by Pharmanex to measure the carotenoid antioxidant levels in your skin-and prove the effectiveness of your supplements in improving your overall antioxidant health.
What does the Scanner do?
Place the palm of your hand in front of the Scanner's safe, low-energy blue light, and you will obtain an immediate reading of the carotenoid antioxidant levels in your skin-your Skin Carotenoid Score.
Why should I be scanned?
By measuring the stable level of carotenoid antioxidants in your skin and generating your Skin Carotenoid Score, the Scanner provides a more accurate and reliable biomarker of your overall antioxidant health status than other methods of measuring antioxidants. Getting your Skin Carotenoid Score makes you aware of the antioxidant levels in your body-and gives you the push you need to improve your overall antioxidant health.
The LifePak® and g3™ Money-Back Guarantee
Get your Skin Carotenoid Score measured with the Scanner, take LifePak® or g3™ for 60 days, and get your Score measured again. You will have proof that Pharmanex® supplements can improve your antioxidant levels and your overall antioxidant health. In fact, Pharmanex guarantees that your Skin Carotenoid Score will increase as you take LifePak® or g3™ regularly as directed.
The Scanner in the media
Although it is the work of Pharmanex distributors to bring the Scanner to the world, this revolutionary tool still gains plenty of attention--and respect--on its own.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is an objection to the usefulness of the BioPhotonic obviously this person did not understand the technology behind this BioPhotonic Scanner. It is a very good idea to know your antioxidant level in your body for your own information you do not need to take the supplements offered by the company, however it is very useful to understand the proprietary knowledge that went into making these products are about the rest at present. So it is useful to understand the tech involved. Or else most of everything you do can be said to be a waste of time and money if you are in a state of getting ill. I suggest that if you are curious to understand more then check the links out on the science of this scanner for yourself.
In 2002, Pharmanex began promoting its BioPhotonic Scanner for measuring "the antioxidant level in the body" when a person's hand is placed in front of the device. The test is said to measure carotenoid level. Shortly after its availability was announced, I took the company's online "BioScan Quiz," which asked questions about my diet and supplement intake. I found that no matter what answers I gave, I was advised to get scanned and to start using one of the company's antioxidant products, which are quite expensive. As far as I know, however, neither the scan nor the products have been proven to lead to improved health outcomes. I believe that both the scan and the products are a waste of money.
The Bottom Line
There is widespread scientific agreement that eating adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables can help lower the incidence of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. With respect to antioxidants and other phytochemicals, the key question is whether supplementation has been proven to do more good than harm. So far, the answer is no, which is why the FDA will not permit any of these substances to be labeled or marketed with claims that they can prevent disease.

Testimony
Seek God, and not evil, that ye may live, and so the Lord the God of host shall be with you as ye have spoken. Amos5:14 Abide in me, and I in you As the bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that aibideth in me, and I in him , the same bringeth forth much fruit: for with out me ye can do nothing. John 15:4-5 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. Rev 12:11 None of you out there have any thing to boast of except for those who have the indwelling of the King we call Saviour Christ Jesus. Unless you have asked Him into your hearts this day. This Blog is a running commentary testimony of Synde Arason. The Lord laid it on my heart some time in 2012 to publish my testimony, and today I I do and I implore you to do the same thing so that we together can over come the world with our testimony those who have no testimony with the blood of the Lamb. Only you know by your own testimony what the Lord has done for you.

Chuck Missler
About Koinonia House
I presenting this video and information about Dr. Chuck Missler because I believe that he has one of the best ministries out there that teach the word of God. But we all must go the the word of God ourselves and seek diligently for ourselves just what is God saying to us. And above all else pray that you will not be deceived by any one.
Their Mission Statement
To create, develop, and distribute materials to stimulate, encourage, and facilitate serious study of the Bible as the inerrant Word of God.
Statement of Faith
The Bible is the very Word of God, is inerrant in its original autographs, and is fully and totally and uniquely reliable as the primary guide to all actions and commitments;
That Jesus Christ is God Incarnate, became man to fulfill a destiny on our behalf, was crucified, buried, and bodily resurrected, is presently seated on His Father’s Throne, and will soon return to establish His Kingdom on the Planet Earth.
That, in the meantime, the Holy Spirit is uniquely active in pursuing His mission in calling, equipping, and empowering believers, and is essential for any and all of the pursuits to be fruitful and effective.
Koinonia…
…is a New Testament word which is most often translated to mean “communication”, “fellowship”, or “communion”. Koinonia House, or K-House as we are affectionately called, is dedicated to the development and distribution of materials for encouraging and facilitating serious study of the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. We are a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.

"Petrus Romanus, Project Lucifer, and the Vatican's Astonishing Plan for the Arrival of an Alien Savior"
by Cris Putnam & Thomas Horn
Pope Benedict XVI has resigned as Pope, just like the authors predicted he would do in their 2012 best-seller, Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here. Since then, Tom Horn and Cris Putnam have been inundated with invitations from around the world to be interviewed on radio, television, and in print media. During a show on Omega Man Radio, the author's disclosed an "extraterrestrial" connecton between Petrus Romanus, the Vatican, and the Mount Graham Observatory, which rocketed that program into the #1 position in the world, illustrating to the authors that modern civilization is more than casually interested not only in the final pope, but in the connection between Rome and their secret work on extraterrestrial intelligence, astrobiology, and the intriguing preparations they are making for the arrival of an alien "savior." A new investigation began and quickly resulted in findings far more distrurbing than the authors expected to find! Here's just a few of the amazing things you will discover in this soon to be best seller.
