Adding Healthy Years to Your Life A Serendipity Wellness Story

Living a Nutritional Miracle:

My name is Jorge Zapp-Glauser, half Co-lombian and half European. It is a pity that my diabetes t2 appeared at the age of 63 in 2005, and not when I was 30 or 40, when my body would have been in much better shape for the extraordinary health changes that dramatically de-ployed an unexpected wellness and lon-gevity. My scientific breakthrough, origi-nally focused on diabetes, evolved into a wider serendipity discovery for a total health wellness and even rejuvenation, probably for everyone; not only to con-trol diabetic symptoms but for that im-mense majority of people looking for total health, endurance, and a vibrant and extended future. It just appeared like a fireworks explosion in front of my eyes. Even at this late age (71), I am sure, my life expectancy, health and life quality have been projected for the next 20 to 30 years… at least!

I Started to Reverse my Age

Being an inventor with an academic phys-ics and bio-medical background, the dread shock of the diabetes diagnostic (with a very bad genetic family history, weak liver and kidneys), paradoxically led me to dis-cover the secret for a much longer and healthier life scheme, and even actual rejuvenation.

Today, at 71, my biological age has been evaluated to be 56 with a standard test, but for what I see and feel it should be even less. You will judge… If my body and vitality would ever be presented in a TV show with my old man’s face and gray hair covered, (-‘try to cover it with your finger’), it would lead most people to believe that the guy with the bag over his head is just 30, maybe 40.

Was it possible to dig even deeper into the solution? If Metabolic Syndrome was almost unknown before modern times (W. Price), what could be done to trans-form modern tasty food into an equiva-lent of the real gatherer-hunters paleo-food, to come closer to the raw nutrition that made us humans? Just a paradigm touch! Where were those precious nutrients that made our ancestors healthy humans in very harsh climates, when any serious disease was a death sentence… now hid-den in our time with the exception of meat, fat and vegetables? Where were those energy sources with which our bod-ies had a genetic identity, now shattered by highly processed and genetically modi-fied foods that have flooded our eating habits? Those marvelous foodstuffs for which our extra long guts were originally made? Why was it almost impossible to buy (concentrated enough like in the wild), ultralow GI foodstuffs from the gro-cery store, maybe with the exception of nuts, quinoa and flax-seed?

How did I Find the Treasure?

As most inventions, everything started with an accident. A ‘medieval bread’ in my diabetic diet, produced with an im-ported German stone-milled whole-grain rye, allowed me, during those early days, to eat one heavy slice at breakfast, one at lunch and one at dinner as my only carb source along with a little milk (allowing me to skip those damaging rice, potatoes, sugars, pasta and even whole grain bread).

After I discovered this unique and deli-cious treatment for my Metabolic Syn-drome (I was a careless obese with acute hypertension and damaged organs), I eas-ily reduced my weight by 46lbs in six months and maintained it since then with-out effort; blood pressure was controlled, all infections disappeared, from athlete’s foot to influenza; no analgesics or antibi-otics in 7 years, not even a stomach or back ache. Another strange health symp-tom is that headaches also miraculously disappeared (why? No scientific clue).

With that low carb diet (3 x 30gr), I was controlling my glycemia keeping it under 140mg/dl one hour after meals, while sup-plying some essential carbs to my nutrition with controlled insulin production. Sud-denly, the morning’s slice of bread failed with an absurd 230mg/dl. The German baker confessed me that his precious me-dieval flour supplier in Germany had failed, though he could guarantee that was still a German imported rye. My creativity and research understanding were kicked at that precise instant, to develop a new and imaginative way to handle cereals, and… What else could be done to lower GI? (GI = Glycemic Index = how much of your carbs convert into an immediate blood-sugar intravenous injection). With the first invention I did not only re-stored my original healthy-bread and my controlled glycemia, but it also deployed a storm of questions in my inventor’s mind:

If you have a health problem, speak to your doctor or a health professional immediately about your condition.

Why are these all of a sudden, considered therapeutic? How should those precious nutrients be planted, protected, pro-cessed and stored? Granolas, sweet pota-toes, oats, whole-meal pasta or wholegrain bread were only an insuffi-cient answer to my glucometer frighten-ing spikes if I wanted to regenerate my kidneys. With creativity and biochemical instruments, only six months after the fatidic diagnostic, I was eating the

‘serendipity bread of life’

with probably the lowest GI in the world for a whole grain baked bread with unpre-dictable wellness results. My glucometer allowed me to increase to two, three and even four slices per meal, centering my diabetic nutrition… paradoxically on bread! That forbidden but otherwise, cul-turally-essential foodstuff. The bread of life, well beyond diabetes!

Any sign of body’s inflammation disap-peared (CRP c-reactive-prot.=0.4) My Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) re-duced to 5.3% better than most healthy people, while fasting glycemia remained constant between 75mg/dl and 95mg/dl My weight and big belly reduced contin-uously, two pounds a week, until I reached the weight I deserved without any effort, with a BMI of 19… forever! Food craving almost disappeared with a constant glucose supply on demand Naturally, it was somewhat difficult to forget those refined-carbs I loved for so long, like baguette or French-fries. In very short time, however, my body intu-itively asked with bio-anxiety for the delicious LoGIcarb bread of life, only replaced later at lunch with nice home-cooked lentils, chickpeas or quinoa in controlled serving sizes at noon. My skin became increasingly elastic (no loose skin after a 30% weight loss), my gums improved, but… my face exposed for 20 years to the savannah wind and sunlight, remained the same, though my actinic keratosis treated every 2 years, vanished. My gray hair has started dark-ening again, in the case of my beard, after 30 years. In a few months, my doc-tor decided to reduce Metformin and finally dropped it.

In less than a year, my arteries became clean, (though with some calcium resi-dues from a past arteriosclerosis that eventually would have killed me) My PSA (prostate) reduced to 1.5 ng/ml Antioxidants skyrocketed to 62,000 units (PHARMANEX); Triglycerides dropped to 101-130mg/dl as there was no excess blood-glucose at anytime to manufacture semi-soluble blood-fat. My HDL cholesterol (good) jumped to 75 and even 85mg/dl by incorporating an almost automatic constant exercise all through the day

From that day on, my whole life started changing very fast in a serendipity se-quence. I just couldn’t believe what hap-pened later. God was expressing through science: My digestion totally regularized in a cou-ple of days after my guts understood the digestive change needed to harmonize its original 30 feet intelligent purpose. Disproportionate insulin response was controlled and insulin release became regulated by controlled blood-sugar, produced on demand by my new Total Health Digestion. My glycemia goal could be reduced to 120mg/dl or even less, just one hour after any meal and 105mg/dl after two hours, while all my body’s energy was generously satisfied with just three meals a day, thus reducing inflammation.




What was happening? What to do next? Something strange and intelligent was happening with my digestion-controlled immunological and energy supply system, digestive flora apparently had taken intel-ligent control with its new macromolecu-lar staple (Auerbach & Meissner): an unex-pected: Total Health Digestion, I called it. With these results and those of hundreds of friends that followed me in Colombia, I decided to fill patents for my findings both in South America and the US and to clinically certify our product by an FDA ap-proved lab as the only milled-&-baked ‘Low Glycemic’ and ‘Diabetic Friendly‘ bread in America. As I felt a moral urge to partake this invention with millions in my condi-tion, my son and I decided to start a busi-ness. LoGIicarb bread is not more expen-sive than any hand-knead artisan’s wholegrain bread; this means, in practice, extending with some discipline your life, health, sport performance and working capacity to an unbelievable extreme for almost nil. At the same time, in many cases, as we found in Colombia, it was also reducing harming insulin need on t1 diabetics and solving the Metabolic Syndrome puzzle that kills early and expensively, most Americans. My son, partner and CEO, coined the name: ‘LoGIcarb’ bread (the logic-carbs or low glycemic-index carbs).

My New Nutrition:

In just one year, my life had changed its direction 180o, just by eating this ultra low Glycemic Index bread, as my only concentrated carb. During the first three years, I centered my nutrition on three to four slices of logicarb bread per meal, abandoning all other refined carbs and hidden sugar-forms, (to reduce insulin and sugar spikes which destroy our organ-ic harmony) and with a new goal of never going over 120mg/dl one hour after any meal (and 105mg/dl two hours later), thanks to the healthy masking in my meals, of delicious sour cream, eggs or cheese, hummus, pâté, pesto, etc. on the bread, and delicious sauces and sofritos on my vegetables and meats, logically, without any impact on triglycerides and cholesterol, as there was no excess blood-sugar to build up surplus blood-fat and having opened a mechanism to burn fat,

thanks to my very low insulin levels. My (your?) body had to sacrifice its stored fat (obesity) to produce this essential ele-ment of our metabolism and cell struc-ture, surprisingly without any hunger. Today I eat plenty of fat, mostly saturat-ed, after my metabolism ate away all its excess fat (naturally, also saturated). In a short time, I was normal again in the lab-tests, but… not cured! From then on, with even more intensity, I concentrated on an automatic and continuous exercise, mus-cle and resistance building (even while seated), and upgrading my kidneys and liver, damaged by two accidents. Today all these functions have been fully recu-perated, while I am optimistically (and well informed) aiming to reach 100 years with a good capacity to jog and innovate among many other vibrant variables. I decided on always eating fruits whole with their flavonoids -no juices whatsoev-er- (fruit only between meals eaten at 11am, at 5pm or at 10pm), not to add to the meal’s sugar spike or distort complex-carbs digestion).

I also started to replace at lunch, my LoGIcarb bread with quinoa or pulses prepared by design and frozen (never those overcooked in a can), and natural-ly, enriched and masked (on glycemic impact) with sofritos, acid salads, con-trolled amounts of protein and fat from eggs, cheese, cream, lard, olive and flax oil, seafood, chicken and sometimes even some red meat (no more than 15-25 dry-grams/day) as this bread, and my pulses are very rich in vegetable

protein. No rice, no potatoes no grain-products of any kind, no sugar and especially no hidden fructose. (constant gut’s glucose production on demand, allows using stevia and sorbi-tol without carb-craving). Barley-beer and dry wine in controlled amounts. Though this is part of the next chapter of this story, I am obtaining good re-search results (tested by a few diabetics that allow to monitor glycemia, minute by minute) in the development of a new notion of rice, potatoes and pasta with the same properties of our bread, cre-ating therefore a new conception of wholesome super-healthy cooking with those new constant energy products that will come along in the future.

Previous health problems:

In my youth I never was a super healthy guy, like I am now at 71. I grew up with home-schooling in a tropical farm dur-ing the forties and fifties, when the only vaccine was smallpox; this allowed me to experiment with all viruses, strange

parasites, bacteria and contact with ani-mals. Probably good for my immune sys-tem but dangerous for my early life. At 30 (1972) my high blood pressure and heart condition began being treated with beta-blockers and my prostate was found to be abnormally large, (expecting future prob-lems). A couple of hernia surgeries, a tox-ic chemical hepatitis (w. necrosis) caused by a research accident, a strange blood-pressure sensitivity to four-legged protein and another strange heart-plexus sensi-tivity to a fungus common to badly stored grains nuts and dry-fruit that produced me cardiac tachycardia, completes my rough health picture.

Having worked for five years in ‘normal pressure hydrocephalous’ with the fa-mous Dr. Hakim, I had a pretty good knowledge on the mechanics and physiol-ogy of human brain and later, also good capillary chromatograph familiarity with

aflatoxins of the Aspergillus fungi (Flavus in Brazil-nut and Niger in coffee).After a few tachycardia events, I associated my unique condition to an aflatoxin (no other cases on record from cardiologists or the Internet, maybe an attractive research subject). I treated my tachycardia epi-sodes with antihistamines. Two years ago, with my immune-system fully devel-oped by Total Health Digestion I had a second research accident with a badly contaminated cereal in a granola experi-ment, I went well beyond tachycardia into an auricular arritmia and when I reached the hospital’s emergency I was fibrillating and with my left arm para-lyzed. The ER doctor did not know what to do, as they had no experience in bio-chemical fibrillation; I told him that in this special case, electrical defibrillation would only worsen the intoxication case, I asked for an electrocardiograph and anti-coagulation and run away in a taxi to the top Santa Fe Hospital, where immediately I was correctly treated. At 10pm I recu-perated sinus-rhythm. In the morning the head of Neurology with his entourage of

Nothing magical just potentiating with your nourishment, what your evolution wrote-down in your genes!




“It is practically impossible, to find and prepare an Ultra Low Glycemic Index (GI<30) food formula, similar to the one that made us humans,

with a nice texture and culturally acceptable flavor, to take care of our deadly Metabolic Syndrome expressions”.

you capable of that discipline? Do you really want it? You may not, because of lack of discipline or boredom with life, and that position is also fully respectable Changing your life destiny is not easy; you will have to amend it, one step at a time; in just one month, treasuring each victory. Your nourishing formula will be yours and only yours. My results are only a guideline but you may find, for example, that you need much more protein than I. I strongly recommend the book “Metabolic Typing Diet” (Wolcott) to help you under-stand that you are unique; any diet in the global roulette may be harmful in the long run. Let’s speak of real and complete nu-trition and not of limiting ‘diets’. At the same time, I am pretty sure that our an-cestral nourishment, the one that made us humans is the right starting-point. Wel-come to LoGIcarb! The prize is unbelieva-ble; you will project your existence to a new dimension.

A New Nutritional Scheme (valid dur-ing 99.9% of our evolution):

This is just the nutritional scheme that I developed with the support from lab-tests, physicians and nutritionists, to com-plement the synergic effects of my own Ultralow Glycemic Index nutrition, resem-bling more such of a Paleolithic-gatherer than that of a hunter, due to my special blood-pressure partial sensitivity to four-legged animal-protein.

‘One size does not fit all’; each one of us carries a genetically predetermined me-tabolism and even a few personal draw-backs, so that as Lucretius said two thou-sand years ago: “one man’s food can be some others poison” for example my nu-tritional scheme would kill somebody with celiac disease.

not so much in our greedy sugar-loving monkey mind. We become in most cas-es, obese, develop hypertension, cardi-ovascular disease, diabetes, inflamma-tion, infection and autoimmune reac-tions. Metabolic Syndrome is a 20-year gradual degeneration that cannot be cured, it can only be prevented or its complications reversed with a full change of lifestyle. In my case, holding tight to my own harsh version of the LoGIcarb lifestyle, you will find in its web-page in the near future. Advanced medicine treats its critical expressions (i.e. open heart surgery, hypertension, insulin, statins, dialysis or amputation) but only the right nutrition can prevent and to a certain extent, reverse its deadly process of organic degradation. This is the most dramatic and painful truth of the old saying: “We are what we eat”. On the other hand, this Ultra Low Glycemic Index archaic nourish-

ment, totally compatible with our tradi-tions and our genetics, can deploy our life to an unbelievable wellness success. Today there are no foodstuffs in the grocery store, no industrial processes and not a cultural culinary nutrition scheme to reproduce the raw and inedi-ble Paleolithic carb nutrition that made us sound, healthy, weather and disease resistant humans. The frightening and potential beauty of this overwhelming situation is that the nutritional treat-ment based on this delicious nutty-flavored Logicarb bread (totally ac-ceptable and desirable in our culture) can very probably, prevent and reverse in most cases, the expressions of Meta-bolic Syndrome (unless acute complica-tions or different causes) <if and only if> you have a profound willpower and commitment to live longer and better. Many people prefer not to sacrifice their lifestyle and die early and painful-ly. I simply… did not! How would you react to a proposition to change your fate for more years to come than you can imagine? Do you deem it crucial or even desirable? Are




doctors, came to see me. My neurological exam was perfect! Further exams showed totally clean arteries, but… with a frontal right lobe infarct the size of a walnut in my brain. My instant and total recuperation after a one cubic inch destruction of my essential brain was attributed to neuro-plasticity. I spent one week in the clinic, as it was found that my Total Health Digestion was capable of beating drugs like ‘Warfarin’ (my gut produces all the K vita-min needed with the same intensity as an-tioxidants B12 or biotin) and after two months it also disabled ‘Dabigatran’. I just have to carry, day and night, instant anti-coagulation and Sotalol (antifibrilator). Usually I have one or two of those unex-pected accidents per year, which I catch at the very beginning. As a firm believer in Total Health Digestion (a touch of mysticism for a scientist) I am sure my immediate recuperation and the capacity to render inoperative some drugs

are an advantage, but also it carries the risk of disabling powerful drugs when your health becomes really Paleolithic with gen-uine: “Paleolithic carbs”, veggies, fat and meat. In my concept, Total Health Diges-tion with its carefully restructured amylose and amylopectin, allowing the revival of an ancient set of multidimensional digestive bacteria, integrates synergically, the con-cept of Paleolithic nutrition that was lack-ing a fundamental dimension.

Metabolic Syndrome Metabolic Syndrome is the cryptic name for our body’s response to modern refined food (monkey-recreated food for non-apes) that perversely kills 70% of all Americans at their golden age, and in the case of dia-betics, with terrible suffering (blindness, amputation, and dialysis). It is not a sick-ness, but a retarded natural and perverse reply, mostly due to common human ge-netic deficiencies, when confronted with a ‘monkey-food’, everybody’s consider today normal; naturally, exacerbated by com-mercially, culturally and limbically induced bad eating habits. We evolved too far in our digestion with respect to the apes, but

Metabolic Syndrome can be reversed but not cured

My Eating Regimen The terrifying beauty of this Food Pyra-mid is that in my food distribution some 60% of my calories are carbs (today in primitive re-polymerized carbs of LoGI-carb, plus specially prepared pulses and quinoa in controlled amounts), 30% in different forms of fat including saturat-ed, not only in the upper part of the pyramid, but also with many vegetable and pulse sofritos, and just 10% in pro-tein (of which 5% is vegetable in bread and grains).

The whole America (and I mean it all, including South America) is just eating a similar early-death formula. Only some 20 to 40% of our population has a built-in capacity to survive this non-human refined diet, we could euphemistically call “civilized”. These, are thin-bodied people like my wife that can eat any-thing without affecting their health. She moved to my nutrition four years ago, increased her weight by three pounds (exactly in the right places, keeping her BMI=19), survived cancer and got rid of all infections and autoimmune reactions for many years to come.

Eating super-wholesome bread is just a natural healthy recommendation unless you have a gluten or fiber resistance. If this happens, our research effort will pro-vide you a solution in a few years (we are working hard on these subjects). In any case, you should consult your doctor be-fore embarking in the life’s adventure of changing ALL your carbs for those natural molecules that made our ancestors: hu-man. For any lifestyle change, I recom-mend you: medical advice and control. Lab tests will tell you and your doctor, how is your body reacting and performing

in this new world of Total Health Digestion. To conquer results sim-ilar or better than mine, the core of the nutrition scheme has to be kept religiously tight and adjusted to your genes, even when eating out (carrying along your logicarb bread to replace the hamburger’s bun, or croutons for example),

but very(1), very(2), very(3), exceptional-ly, small sins like a Belgian chocolate, a

crepe masked by greasy gravy or caviar on thin baguette-slice can help us keep the toughness of our full

commitment, understanding we are not space-aliens but conscious survivors pro-jected to an unimaginable future. If you indulge repeatedly… You have already failed! I have seen intelligent persons fail three or more times and end-up in ampu-tation, heart-failure or dialysis after hav-ing held the treasure glittering in their hands. Something like paying the subway with golden coins from the Alexander the Great’s Empire. Forgetting about diets and other un-human restrictions and replacing… ALL of your carbs in sufficient amounts, for Ultra Low Glycemic Index carbs in a balanced nutrition; and I mean ALL, while adding

Your lab-tests and your new intelligent appetite, as well as a new feeling that develops gradually when your digestive brain starts to talk to the rest of your body, after you revive your ancestral di-gestion, will lead you to discover, by trial and error, which is your very own formu-la; in my case, for example, is very rich in complex carbs and veggies, with more saturated fat than most people, which is paradoxical for somebody that was prob-ably destined to die from arteriosclerosis. For many years I was a slave of statins, hypo-tensors, diuretics and cardboard ‘light’ food that probably induced my diabetes and arterioscleroses, I under-stand that now. Some-thing that was very dis-tant, from how my taste was developed in my youth. Today I cook with butter, pig’s lard and bacon, close to the Ger-man tradition, also my French tradition invites me to cream, butter, rillettes, pâté, and my Mediterranean tradition to olive oil, all kind of vegetable and pulse sofritos; in my new re-search tests I am eating extraordinary pastas (sorry, just a future LoGI-carb product).

My own version of the Ultra Low Glycemic In-dex LoGIcarb lifestyle, inducing Total Health Digestion, freed me from that exe-cutioner’s food-slavery of six inflam-mating meals, all triggering noxious insu-lin. With the exception of the tight carb restriction, (otherwise in generous and delicious amounts): I AM FREE! I don’t feel guilty eating a greasy wild-boar stew in Monschau in the Eifel-Wald, as long as I carry with me, my frozen LoGicarb Bread. By the way, customs have always respected my half a bag of frozen bread loafs. Only one time in years of plenty of traveling, it has been chemically tested with a smile of understanding.




A nourishment like this, would have also killed me in just a few years, following Lucretius sentence in 2005, before my scientific discovery and the serendipity wellness explosion that followed… just if my carbs would have been the carbs…

You eat now!

Today and until I reach 100 or more years I will be eating according with my ge-netic formula represented in the following Pyramid, very far from the one of the USDA.




some continuous daily and intelligent ex-ercise, represents: a total change of your lifestyle, not harsh, but complete in terms of energy-food. Redefining your future goals dramatically, is not easy but totally possible -as there is no hunger involved- only a few cultural issues, and besides, hunger-craving will simply go away, (even during a non-recommended one day fasting). The logicarb lifestyle combining the right food and some healthy exercise during the day, can provide you: a unique healthy individual like you, fully interested in living a vibrant, longer and healthier life, and naturally, those like me: diabetic, pre-diabetic, as well as those with other

deadly Metabolic Syndrome expressions, an extraordinary life of wellness and lon-gevity, better than anything we have ever dreamed. The price is paradoxically nil, just: “Change all your carbs for Ultralow Glycemic Index carbs, something that up to now, was simply not possible: No more, no less!

My father wisely sentenced, and I never understood why, until the serendipity effects of my scientific discovery over-whelmed me: “Your diabetic condition can be transformed into a passport to reach this much longer and healthier life you always dreamed of!”

Any healthy person, especially those look-ing for health, longevity, all those pursu-ing a vibrant vitality, sport endurance and resilience and even rejuvenation and natu-rally as a survival tool for diabetic, obese or those with cardiovascular symptoms, each one in its own individual way, will profit for life by adopting this nutritional scheme and lifestyle. Your doctor and the lab-results will tell you how.

“Your diabetic condition can be transformed into a passport to reach this much longer and

healthier life you always dreamed of!”

Welcome to LoGIcarbs, the key to an extraordinary and healthy longevity and even rejuvenation!

I ask for understanding for my English, in many instances, I construct my sentences in German with English words, sometimes even inventing an ‘endly’ for finally, but all, coming deep from my heart and emotion in an outburst of legitimate enthusiasm and responsibility for the ’other’:
