Link between vitamin D and dementia risk confirmed</h1>
<div class="intro">
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a substantially increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in older people, according to the most robust study of its kind ever conducted.<br />
An international team, led by <a href="https://medicine.exeter.ac.uk/about/profiles/index.php?web_id=David_Llewellyn">Dr David Llewellyn</a> at the <a href="http://medicine.exeter.ac.uk/">University of Exeter Medical School</a>, found that study participants who were severely Vitamin D deficient were more than twice as likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.</div>
The team studied elderly Americans who took part in the Cardiovascular Health Study. They discovered that adults in the study who were moderately deficient in vitamin D had a 53 per cent increased risk of developing dementia of any kind, and the risk increased to 125 per cent in those who were severely deficient.<br />
Similar results were recorded for Alzheimer’s disease, with the moderately deficient group 69 per cent more likely to develop this type of dementia, jumping to a 122 per cent increased risk for those severely deficient.<br />
The study was part-funded by the <a href="http://medicine.exeter.ac.uk/">Alzheimer’s Association</a>, and is published in August 6 2014 online issue of <a href="http://www.neurology.org/"><em>Neurology</em></a>, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. It looked at 1,658 adults aged 65 and over, who were able to walk unaided and were free from dementia, cardiovascular disease and stroke at the start of the study. The participants were then followed for six years to investigate who went on to develop Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.<br />
Dr Llewellyn said: “We expected to find an association between low Vitamin D levels and the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, but the results were surprising – we actually found that the association was twice as strong as we anticipated.<br />
“Clinical trials are now needed to establish whether eating foods such as oily fish or taking vitamin D supplements can delay or even prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. We need to be cautious at this early stage and our latest results do not demonstrate that low vitamin D levels cause dementia. That said, our findings are very encouraging, and even if a small number of people could benefit, this would have enormous public health implications given the devastating and costly nature of dementia.”<br />
Research collaborators included experts from Angers University Hospital, Florida International University, Columbia University, the University of Washington, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Michigan. The study was supported by the Alzheimer’s Association, the Mary Kinross Charitable Trust, the James Tudor Foundation, the Halpin Trust, the Age Related Diseases and Health Trust, the Norman Family Charitable Trust, and the National Institute for Health Research Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Research and Care South West Peninsula (NIHR PenCLAHRC).<br />
Dementia is one of the greatest challenges of our time, with 44 million cases worldwide – a number expected to triple by 2050 as a result of rapid population ageing. A billion people worldwide are thought to have low vitamin D levels and many older adults may experience poorer health as a result.<br />
The research is the first large study to investigate the relationship between vitamin D and dementia risk where the diagnosis was made by an expert multidisciplinary team, using a wide range of information including neuroimaging. Previous research established that people with low vitamin D levels are more likely to go on to experience cognitive problems, but this study confirms that this translates into a substantial increase in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.<br />
Vitamin D comes from three main sources – exposure of skin to sunlight, foods such as oily fish, and supplements. Older people’s skin can be less efficient at converting sunlight into Vitamin D, making them more likely to be deficient and reliant on other sources. In many countries the amount of UVB radiation in winter is too low to allow vitamin D production.<br />
The study also found evidence that there is a threshold level of Vitamin D circulating in the bloodstream below which the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease increases. The team had previously hypothesized that this might lie in the region of 25-50 nmol/L, and their new findings confirm that vitamin D levels above 50 nmol/L are most strongly associated with good brain health.<br />
Commenting on the study, Dr Doug Brown, Director of Research and Development at <a href="http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/">Alzheimer’s Society</a> said: “Shedding light on risk factors for dementia is one of the most important tasks facing today’s health researchers. While earlier studies have suggested that a lack of the sunshine vitamin is linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, this study found that people with very low vitamin D levels were more than twice as likely to develop any kind of dementia.<br />
“During this hottest of summers, hitting the beach for just 15 minutes of sunshine is enough to boost your vitamin D levels. However, we’re not quite ready to say that sunlight or vitamin D supplements will reduce your risk of dementia. Large scale clinical trials are needed to determine whether increasing vitamin D levels in those with deficiencies can help prevent the dementia from developing.”<br />

can reduce risk factors associated with heart disease. Recent research
at Penn State demonstrated that lean beef may play a role in helping to
reduce blood pressure.<br />
"This research adds to the significant evidence, including work
previously done in our lab, that supports lean beef's role in a
heart-healthy diet," said Penny M. Kris-Etherton, Distinguished
Professor of Nutrition, Penn State.<br />
According to the research, which was published in the <em>Journal of Human Hypertension, </em><a href="http://catalog.designsforhealth.com/PurePaleo-Protein-Natural-Vanilla-810-grams?sc=2&category=3793">lean beef</a>
can be part of the predominant protein source in a diet – along with
fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy – to effectively lower blood
pressure in healthy individuals. Researchers tested four diets to
determine the effects on vascular health. The diets included the Healthy
American Diet (the control), the BOLD+ diet, the BOLD diet, and the
DASH diet.<br />
The control diet consisted of 0.7 ounces of lean beef per day, while
the DASH diet included 1.0 ounce. The BOLD diet had 4.0 ounces and the
BOLD+ diet included 5.4 ounces of lean beef.<br />
These four diets were tested on 36 participants with ages ranging
from 30 and 65. All participants followed each diet at different times
throughout the study period. Participants were randomly assigned to
follow each of the four diet plans for five weeks each (in a particular
order), with a break of one week in between each new plan. Blood
pressure was taken at the beginning and end of each diet period.<br />
The results showed that the BOLD+ diet was more effective at lowering blood pressure compared to the other diets.<br />
According to the researchers, "This evidence suggests that it is the
total protein intake - not the type of protein - that is instrumental in
reducing blood pressure, as part of a DASH-like dietary pattern."<br />

all that splashing around in chemically treated water harm your eyes?
Optometrist Glenda Secor, chairwoman of the American Optometric Association’s
contact lens and cornea section, takes a closer look.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 2; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 19pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Long-Term Exposure<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">People have been in contact with chlorinated water for
generations—in fact, the water flowing from the taps in many communities is
chlorinated. Yet there has never been documented evidence that continuous
exposure to the diluted chemical can cause permanent harm to the eyes, says Dr.
Secor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The purpose of pool chlorine is to reduce the bug count to what
you could withstand without much harm,” says the Huntington, Calif.,
optometrist. “But there are so many factors affecting the effectiveness of the
chlorine—how recently it was added to the water; the volume in proportion to
the amount of water; the amount of contaminant in the water; how often the pool
is used; [and] how many people are in it at a time.” So assume there’s a high
bug count anyway, she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Exposure to chemically treated water of any kind can temporarily
affect the eyes, says Dr. Secor, because when the cornea is submerged in water,
its protective tear film is washed away. That leaves eyes vulnerable to
bacteria lingering in chlorine-treated water, since some contaminants aren’t
killed by the trace levels of chlorine often used in pools.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The tear film “is our natural-defense mechanism,” she says. “Tear
proteins help reduce infection rates from bugs still floating in the water, and
when that is gone, the cornea is vulnerable to anything.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She notes swimmers can get eye infections from bacteria in
chlorinated water. Bacterial or viral conjunctivitis, also called pink eye, is
the most common infection that can spread through pools. “Pool chemicals don’t
address everything that lives in the water,” she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.75pt; margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A typical response to being submerged in chlorinated water is red
eyes and irritation, as well as blurriness, resulting from dehydration of the
cornea, which may temporarily distort vision. These symptoms can go away in a
few minutes, as the tear film returns to normal, Dr. Secor says, though the
process may take a few hours for older people. “Lubricating drops are helpful
to flush away any residual treated water in the eye and will bulk up the tear
film faster,” she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Contact-lens wearers face other issues, the least of which is
losing a lens. A serious eye infection called acanthamoebic keratitis, caused
by a certain genus of amoeba, “has been reported with people who swim with
contact lenses, which may absorb water or trap it beneath the lens,” says Dr.
Secor. Acanthamoebic keratitis can lead to ulcers on the cornea or even
blindness. “I always tell my patients to take their contact lenses out and
rinse them, and don’t sleep in them, even if they’re allowed to, if they’ve
been swimming in any body of water.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A pool’s chlorine level dissipates over time—day 1 is stronger
than day 7—but there is no way to know how strong the chemicals are, shy of
carrying a personal test kit. A tried-and-true preventative measure is to wear
well-fitting goggles. “Swimming with goggles will keep the tear film from
washing away in the first place,” says Dr. Secor, who lives near a beach but
doesn’t swim in the ocean. “But if I did, I’d wear goggles then, too,” she
says. Salt water also is “pretty full of contaminants.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Abstract</h2>
<div>
<div id="__p1">
In this study we tried to confirm the effect of an astaxanthin-rich <em>Haematococcus pluvialis</em>
extract on cognitive function in 96 subjects by a randomised
double-blind placebo-controlled study. Healthy middle-aged and elderly
subjects who complained of age-related forgetfulness were recruited.
Ninety-six subjects were selected from the initial screen, and ingested a
capsule containing astaxanthin-rich <em>Haematococcus pluvialis</em>
extract, or a placebo capsule for 12 weeks. Somatometry, haematology,
urine screens, and CogHealth and Groton Maze Learning Test were
performed before and after every 4 weeks of administration. Changes in
cognitive performance and the safety of astaxanthin-rich <em>Haematococcus pluvialis</em>
extract administration were evaluated. CogHealth battery scores
improved in the high-dosage group (12 mg astaxanthin/day) after 12
weeks. Groton Maze Learning Test scores improved earlier in the
low-dosage (6 mg astaxanthin/day) and high-dosage groups than in the
placebo group. The sample size, however, was small to show a significant
difference in cognitive function between the astaxanthin-rich <em>Haematococcus pluvialis</em>
extract and placebo groups. No adverse effect on the subjects was
observed throughout this study. In conclusion, the results suggested
that astaxanthin-rich <em>Haematococcus pluvialis</em> extract improves cognitive function in the healthy aged individuals.</div>

<br />
Aspirin is one of the most widely used over-the-counter medications, with an estimated 120 billion tablets taken each year.<sup>1</sup>
Not only can it be an effective remedy for headaches, body aches and
fever, but millions of people at high risk of heart attack due to
atherosclerosis use daily aspirin therapy as a preventative measure,
thanks to aspirin’s anticoagulant properties.<br />
<br />
Because it’s so commonly used, many people assume that aspirin is
pretty safe. And they’re right—aspirin does have a relatively good
safety profile, especially when compared to other drugs on the market
that have a myriad of toxic side effects, like statins. But that doesn’t
mean aspirin use is completely free of risk. <br />
<br />
The side effects most people associate with regular aspirin use
include gastrointestinal bleeding, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and
hemorrhagic stroke caused by a burst blood vessel. And now recent
research has uncovered a lesser known, but very eye-opening risk to
long-term aspirin use—macular degeneration.<br />

<strong>Eye-Opening Concerns</strong><br />
<br />
In a study published in December 2012, researchers followed nearly
5,000 participants (aged 43 to 86 years) for more than 20 years. These
participants, part of the Beaver Dam Eye Study, received eye
examinations every five years. Results showed 512 cases of early
age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and 117 cases of late AMD over
the course of the study. <br />
<br />
Additionally, at each exam, participants were asked if they had
regularly used aspirin at least twice a week for more than three months.
Researchers found that regular aspirin use 10 years prior to eye
examination was associated with late AMD, with estimated incidence of
1.76 percent, compared to 1.03 percent in non-aspirin users. Researchers
concluded that these associations, though small, were statistically
significant.<sup>2</sup><br />
<br />
Interestingly, regular aspirin use 10 years prior to eye examination
was significantly associated with the “wet” form of AMD, which accounts
for 10 percent of all AMD cases, but is responsible for the majority of
functional blindness attributed to the disease.<br />
<br />
An even more recent study published in January 2013 confirmed this
aspirin/AMD link. In this study, researchers analyzed data from a
15-year Australian population-based cohort.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the study, 2,389 participants completed a
detailed questionnaire that assessed aspirin use, heart disease status
and AMD risk factors. In addition, they received four eye examinations
during the 15-year study period.<br />
<br />
After analyzing data, 63 (out of 257) regular aspirin users developed
wet AMD—an astounding 24.5 percent. Even after adjusting for other risk
factors like age, sex, smoking, history of heart disease and body mass
index, regular aspirin users still had a higher risk of developing wet
AMD. Researchers concluded, “Regular aspirin use is associated with
increased risk of incident neovascular [wet] AMD, independent of history
of cardiovascular disease and smoking.”<sup>3</sup><br />
<br />
<strong>Alternatives to Aspirin</strong><br />
<br />
If you’re a regular aspirin user, you should get a thorough eye exam
as soon as possible to determine your AMD status. This is extremely
important because AMD often doesn’t show any symptoms until well after
the condition has taken hold.<br />
<br />
Even if your exam determines that your eyes are healthy and free of
disease, we recommend discussing the cessation of regular aspirin
therapy with your doctor. Fortunately, there are plenty of natural
pain-relief and blood-thinning nutrients you can take that will not
affect your eyes—or your gastrointestinal tract or ears for that matter.<br />
<br />
One effective pain relief solution that you can find in most health
food stores is white willow bark. In fact, aspirin was originally
derived from the bark of this tree. <br />
<br />
Its active ingredient, salicin, has been used for centuries to
relieve all sorts of pain, including arthritis and headache pain. In the
late 1800s, scientists developed a synthetic form of salicin called
salicylic acid, and aspirin was born. <br />
<br />
Fortunately, white willow bark suppresses pain without the risks
associated with synthetic aspirin. In one study, researchers found that
patients who took either 240 mg or 120 mg of salicin experienced
significant relief from chronic lower back pain, compared to the placebo
group.<sup>4</sup> <br />
<br />
If you use aspirin as a blood thinner to prevent heart attack, you
have natural alternatives, as well. Some of those options include
nattokinase,<sup>5</sup> garlic (in either food or supplement form),
ginger (in either food, supplement form or consumed as a tea), fish oil
and vitamin E.<sup>6</sup><br />
<br />
As always, consult your physician before discontinuing the use of
prescribed medication—even if the prescribed drug is an over-the-counter
one like aspirin. Then express your desire to try a more natural
approach to heart attack prevention or pain relief.<br />

Recent studies show that both girls and boys are entering puberty much
earlier than before. Boys are reaching puberty up to 2 years early at
age 9 or 10. Girls, on the other hand, are reaching physical maturity
even much faster, up to 6 years earlier, with physical changes often
seen before 8 years old.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1361279577005_5728" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;">
This disturbing trend has been linked to exposure to environmental
hormones or xenoestrogens in plastics, clouding agents, phthalates and
cosmetics. Children are so<img align="right" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=2%5f0%5f0%5f1%5f9167264%5fAPzuHkgAADevUSK0MgjY5RtYtOw&pid=4&fid=Inbox&inline=1&appid=YahooMailNeo" />
easily susceptible to exposure because these xenoestrogens are found
everywhere. Clouding agents are used in juices, sports drinks and fruit
jams, among others. Babies are even more susceptible. For example,
babies come in contact with adults wearing cosmetics, which contain lead
and other xenoestrogens. These substances are then transferred to
babies who have more sensitive systems and are therefore more vulnerable
to the effects of xenoestrogens. Not only do these xenoestrogens
promote the production of sex hormones that causes early maturity but
also causes faster bone growth, both of which are irreversible.</span></div>
<br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1361279577005_5729" style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1361279577005_5730" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;">
Adults are not safe from the harmful effects of xenoestrogens either.
Xenoestrogens also include phytoestrogens and pharmacological estrogens
(e.g., synthetic estrogens found in hormone replacement therapy or birth
control pills). While supplementing with these estrogens is necessary
for those who are deficient, accumulation of excess estrogen is always a
risk. Among women, excess estrogen can lead to ovarian cysts, uterine
fibroids, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, etc. Among men,
xenoestrogens can lead to reduced sperm count, feminizing qualities,
increased testicular and prostate cancer risk and more. In both men and
women, xenoestrogens can lead to belly fat, insulin resistance and
cardiovascular risk. </span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1361279577005_5732" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;">
Once exposure to xenoestrogens is stoppped, further effects can also be
halted. Steps must also be taken to reduce the effects of xenoestrogens
already in the body.</span></div>

Solgar has always created innovative products. Since 1947 the reliable brown glass bottles have served the american and international markets well. Some of my patients with special requirements such as the need for hypoallergenic or Kosher ingredients benefit from thier formulas.<br />
<br />
Some new product releases include Minnows Omega-3 mini bursts. Children love the tutti frutti sorbet flavor. This is a great way to get the healthy essential fatty acids into your kids. Healthy fatty acids are important for brain function and hormone communication in between cells. Other systems include immune, cardiovascular musculoskeletal hair and nails.<br />
<br />
Another novel new release is their liquid melatonin 10 mg in natural Black Cherry flavor. I find it helpful for my patients that suffer from jet lag to normalize circadian rhythms.<br />

<br />
By and far, smoking is the biggest risk factor for lung cancer. In
fact, up to 90 percent of the lung cancer cases in the U.S. can be
attributed to smoking.<sup>1</sup> <br />
<br />
But what about the remaining cases of lung cancer—the ones that
affect people who’ve never smoked? What factors influence that cancer
development? Furthermore, not all smokers develop lung cancer. About 15
percent are spared this dreaded diagnosis. What is it that protects this
extremely high-risk group?<br />
<br />
According to recent research, the intake of flavonoids may be the answer.<sup>2</sup><br />
<br />
<strong>What Are Flavonoids?</strong><br />
<br />
By now, you’ve probably heard of antioxidants—nutrients that protect
the body from molecules called free radicals, which alter the DNA of
cells and permanently damage them, potentially leading to disease. Well,
flavonoids are a huge group of antioxidant compounds, found primarily
in fruits, vegetables and some beverages like tea and wine. <br />
<br />
Flavonoids are further broken down into six main subclasses: <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li class="first-child">Flavonols—The most well-known flavonol is
quercetin, which is abundant in red wine, but also in berries, teas,
broccoli and apples.</li>
<li>Flavones—found primarily in the skin of citrus fruits.</li>
<li>Flavanones—found in citrus fruits.</li>
<li>Flavanols—Catechins are the most common flavanol. Tea and cocoa are
excellent sources of catechins. Proanthocyanidins, another flavanol, are
abundant in berries, red grapes and red wine.</li>
<li>Anthocyanidins—found in blue and red produce, like berries and red grapes, as well as red wine.</li>
<li class="last-child">Isoflavones—most abundant in soy and other legumes.</li>

As a whole, research has shown that flavonoids can be powerful
disease fighters and preventers, thanks to their anti-inflammatory,
anti-mutagenic and anti-proliferative properties.<sup>3</sup> Some animal studies even indicate that dietary flavonoids exist in lung tissue, possibly playing a role in cancer prevention.<sup>4</sup><br />
<br />
Taking this into account, researchers in Montreal followed 2,486 male
and female participants (1,061 lung cancer patients and 1,425 controls)
between the ages of 35 and 75. <br />
<br />
Researchers conducted interviews with all the participants to assess
lifestyle behaviors (smoking, drinking, diet, etc.) and occupational
history. Using a food frequency questionnaire, they also assessed
dietary habits of all the participants—two years prior to lung cancer
diagnosis in the cases, and two years prior to being interviewed for the
controls.<br />
<br />
After analyzing the data they collected, researchers found that total
flavonoid intake was not associated with lung cancer risk. The results
were similar, regardless of sex or smoking level. However, they did link
low flavonoid intake from foods, but not from beverages, with a higher
risk of lung cancer overall—specifically squamous cell carcinoma. <br />
<br />
While the researchers did not find <em>statistically significant</em>
evidence of positive flavonoid effect based on how much someone smoked,
there were reduced risks in moderate to heavy smokers were seen in
those who fell into the middle quartiles for total flavonoids, flavanols
and flavonols, as compared to light or nonsmokers. <br />
<br />
Overall, the researchers concluded that, although smoking is the
biggest risk factor for lung cancer, adding flavonoid-rich foods to your
diet can offer an avenue for prevention and protection that otherwise
would not be there.<br />
<br />
<strong>Fabulous Flavonoids</strong><br />
<br />
Adding flavonoids to your diet is pretty easy. Simply increase your
intake of all sorts of berries and other fruits, vegetables, legumes and
dark chocolate (the highest percentage of cocoa with the fewest grams
of sugar that you can find).<br />
<br />
And even though the study did not find that flavonoid-rich beverages
provided lung cancer protection, drinking tea (green in particular) and
red wine offers many other health benefits, including significantly
reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.<sup>5-6</sup> So it definitely doesn’t hurt to drink more green tea and enjoy a small glass of red wine a few nights a week.<br />
<br />
If you prefer to take flavonoids in supplement form, there are
several options available, including quercetin, citrus bioflavonoids and
green tea extract. <br />

The US still denies it.<br /><br />This comes after Canada’s first national physical study on BPA revealed that 91% of Canadians have the chemical in their bodies, with teenagers having the highest concentrations.<br /><br />As we have noted in numerous Pulse articles and Action Alerts, there are serious health risks from exposure to the endocrine-disrupting chemical BPA. As a result, there have been nationwide efforts to ban it from food and beverage containers, especially those used by babies and children. ANH-USA has petitioned the FDA to review the widespread use of BPA in children’s dental products, but the Agency has not deigned to respond.<br /><br />Animal tests show that BPA, a plastics hardener that is also a synthetic estrogen, can cause reproductive and behavioral abnormalities and lower intellectual ability, and sets the stage for cancers, obesity, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease.<br /><br />The New York Times reports that Canada’s move was strenuously fought by its chemical industry. Designating BPA as toxic will make it easier to ban the use of BPA in specific products through regulations rather than by amending legislation, a cumbersome and slow process, according to an official at Environment Canada.myhealth-store.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14681557774739137531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640295329219708081.post-11412317358815601722010-10-20T04:52:00.000-07:002010-10-20T04:53:26.136-07:00B Vitamins and Alzheimer's DiseaseOther encouraging Alzheimer’s news comes from the University of California at Irvine, where a study recently showed that mice with cognitive impairment had dramatic improvement with niacinamide. Niacinamide is one of the water-soluble B-complex vitamins known as B-3. Niacin, or nicotinic acid, is another form. When an amide molecule attaches itself to niacin, it becomes niacinamide (also called nicotinamide). The body can convert niacinamide back into niacin but is unable to make niacinamide out of niacin. One major difference is that in doses exceeding 50 mg, niacin typically produces flushing of the skin, but niacinamide does not. Niacin and niacinamide also have different applications. In the niacinamide form, it reduces inflammation. Since many studies indicate that inflammation may trigger Alzheimer’s, researchers wondered if niacinamide would help Alzheimer’s.<br />
<br />
Researchers gave mice the equivalent of a human dose of 2000 to 3000 milligrams of niacinamide, and the results were shocking. “Cognitively, they were cured,” said Dr. Kim Green, the head of the study. “The vitamin completely prevented cognitive decline associated with the disease, bringing them back to the level they’d be at if they didn’t have the pathology.” Niacinamide also improved memory in mice without Alzheimer’s.<br />
<br />
Pioneering integrative physician and researcher Jonathan V. Wright, MD, notes that niacinamide has been widely used for a variety of purposes for more than 60 years, and its safety is well known. He reports that as far back as 1943, William Kaufman, PhD, MD, a psychiatrist and exceptionally thorough clinical researcher, showed that niacinamide deficiency causes impaired memory, easy distractibility, an inability to concentrate, mental fog, slowed thoughts, difficulty comprehending, unwarranted anxiety, a lack of initiative, being uncooperative or quarrelsome, etc. And he discovered that all of these symptoms—and many more—“disappeared or…improved considerably” with the use of niacinamide.<br />
<br />
Niacinamide isn’t the only B vitamin that may help significantly with Alzheimer’s. A study from Oxford University found that fairly high dosages of three B vitamins (folic acid, B6 and B12) could reduce the rate of brain atrophy in patients with mild cognitive impairment—because these vitamins reduce homocysteine. (Other studies have found that TMG, or trimethylglycine, also controls homocysteine and is useful if the B vitamins are not enough.) Around 50% of people with mild cognitive impairment go on to develop Alzheimer’s.<br />
<br />
But this study, widely trumpeted in the world press, wasn’t quite what it seemed. It was a study of B vitamins, yes, but it was at the same time a study of a patented drug. How could that be? Why was a drug company happy to see the curative role of B vitamins established? Here’s why: TrioBe Plus—the formulation of the B vitamin used in the study, is a patented drug, even though it is really just a blend of three ordinary vitamins and shouldn’t have received a patent. It is made by a Swedish drug company, Meda AB, based on a patent held by the chief researcher. As our colleagues at ANH-Int’l point out, the lead author of the research had to declare a conflict of interest because the patent for the use of these vitamins in this particular form is in his name. He will therefore personally gain massively if your local doctor starts to prescribe this to everyone who’s complaining about losing their car keys on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
So the pharmaceutical industry is once again patenting and promoting a drug that’s not a drug, but is merely three forms of vitamin B you can get from any health food store. Supplements are not drugs—but drug companies are so unsuccessful in producing new drugs that they are looking greedily at supplements.myhealth-store.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14681557774739137531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640295329219708081.post-1559303557372833312010-10-18T06:38:00.000-07:002010-10-18T06:38:28.445-07:00Obesity, Estrogen and CancerThe obesity, estrogen, cancer connection.<br /><br />Endometrial cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women.

The risk of psychological distress increased by 14 percent for each hour of nightly sleep loss, such that those sleeping less than six hours a night were twice as likely to be experiencing distress as average sleepers. A similar association was found between sleep duration and persistent psychological distress; the risk that a person with psychological distress at baseline would be distressed at the one-year follow-up increased by five percent for each hour of nightly sleep loss after adjusting for potential confounders (RR 1.05). Long sleep durations of more than nine hours showed no association with distress at any time point.<br /><br />“In young adults already experiencing distress, the fewer hours they sleep the worse the outcome across the range of sleep hours,” said lead author Nick Glozier, MBBS, MRCPsych, PhD, associate professor of psychological medicine at the Brain and Mind Research Institute and the Centre for Integrated Research and Understanding of Sleep (CIRUS) at the University of Sydney in Australia.<br /><br />The study also found that the risk for the onset of psychological distress was increased only in those young adults with extremely short sleep durations. Participants without psychological distress at baseline who reported sleeping five hours or less per night were three times more likely to be distressed one year later (RR 3.25).<br /><br />“Short sleep duration increases the risk of a new onset of distress only among the very shortest sleepers, and doesn’t appear to have a psychological impact in young adults in good mental health with moderately short sleep durations, such as seven hours a night” said Glozier.<br />In 2007 the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimated that 17.9 percent of young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 years experienced serious psychological distress in the past year. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that 26 percent of all young people between 16 and 24 years of age had a mental disorder in 2007.myhealth-store.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14681557774739137531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640295329219708081.post-10427862510840537042010-10-15T09:10:00.000-07:002010-10-15T09:10:23.634-07:00Vitamin D The Flu and AsthmaResearchers in Japan recently studied the effect of vitamin D3 supplements (1,200 IU per day from December through March) on the incidence of seasonal influenza A in school children.<br /> Influenza A infection occurred in 18.6% of children in a placebo group versus 10.8% of children who received the supplement – a 42% reduction in risk among those taking the supplement.<br />The reduction was more prominent among children who had not been taking other vitamin D supplements.<br /> Influenza infection was not reduced among a subgroup of asthmatic children but those who became infected were significantly less likely to have an asthmatic attack if they received vitamin D than if they had not.<br />Supplementation did not affect the incidence of influenza B (which is less common than influenza A and is not seasonal).14<br /><br />A review of medical studies published from 1950 to 2009 that looked, among other variables, at vitamin D intake and asthma suggested that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to airway inflammation, decreased lung function and poor asthma control.<br /> The researchers conducting the review hypothesized that vitamin D supplementation may lead to improved asthma control, although this cannot be established as many of the studies were not specifically designed to test the effects of vitamin D supplementation on patients with asthma.15myhealth-store.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14681557774739137531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640295329219708081.post-86707335891572046102010-10-15T07:40:00.000-07:002010-10-15T07:40:49.832-07:00Mamograms Under ScrutinyAs stated by the New York Times:<br /><br />"In the new study, mammograms, combined with modern treatment, reduced the death rate by 10 percent, but the study data indicated that the effect of mammograms alone could be as low as 2 percent or even zero.<br /><br />A 10 percent reduction would mean that if 1,000 50-year-old women were screened over a decade, 996 women rather than 995.6 would not die from the cancer — an effect so tiny it may have occurred by chance."<br /><br /><br />A valid non toxic option would be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Thermography</span> where subtle changes in tissue temperature are measured.

<br />
<br />
The FDA is restricting access to Avandia by requiring GSK to submit a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS. <br />
<br />
Under the ruling, the drug will be available to patients not already taking it only if they are unable to achieve glycemic control using other medications and, in consultation with their health care professional, decide not to take a different drug for medical reasons. <br />
<br />
Current users of Avandia will be able to continue using the medication if they appear to be benefiting from it and they acknowledge that they understand these risks. Doctors will have to attest to and document their patients’ eligibility; patients will have to review statements describing the cardiovascular safety concerns.<br />
<br />
But did the FDA go far enough – could it be too little, too late?<br />
<br />
Unlike the US FDA, British regulators have ruled that GlaxoSmithKline’s diabetes drug Avandia could lead to heart attacks or strokes, and benefits no longer outweigh the risks. <br />
<br />
And so last week, they told 90,000 British diabetes patients to stop taking it.<br />
<br />
Evidence linking Avandia to an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke has been building since 2007, and GSK has agreed to pay $460 million in damages to settle about 10,000 lawsuits in America linking its use to patients suffering serious medical setbacks. But the US FDA has chosen only to monitor the drug, rather than ask for a recall.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
You don’t smoke, you exercise regularly and you eat a balanced diet of fresh, whole foods. But unfortunately, even the healthiest habits aren’t foolproof. That’s why you’ll be relieved to hear that nature offers an arsenal of safe, powerful compounds that are scientifically proven to pack a protective punch against mutagenic problems—whether you have a family history or simply want to act proactively by supporting cellular health.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
D-glucarate is just one example of a powerful, anti-mutagenic compound: Derived from fruits and vegetables, this naturally occurring chemical helps cellular enzymes bind to harmful compounds so that they can be eliminated from your body before they cause damage to your DNA—all within just five hours of supplementation. As a result, studies indicate that d-glucarate can support the health of the lung, breast, prostate and colon—while reducing abnormal cell proliferation, which may contribute to the growth of existing tumors.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Green tea is another well-known health-booster, rich in a number of polyphenol antioxidants. But it’s one of these polyphenols in particular—epigallocatechin-3-gallate, better known as EGCG—that’s responsible for green tea’s cell-protecting properties. Studies show that EGCG tricks abnormal cells into undergoing apoptosis (programmed cell death), while reducing your body’s levels of mutation-promoting enzymes. And EGCG can target abnormally transformed cells specifically, leaving healthy cells unharmed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ellagic acid is another polyphenolic compound with powerful properties. Abundant in brightly colored fruits like raspberries, strawberries and pomegranates, ellagic acid is a potent natural detoxifier, able to block the activation of a number of mutation-promoting chemicals—including polycyclic hydrocarbons, nitrites, and aflatoxins—and it scavenges and promotes the elimination of these deadly carcinogens from your body.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When taken twice a day, each of these powerful natural substances can help to sustain cellular health, regardless of whether your family or personal history has stacked the cards against you or you simply want extra anti-mutagenic supportmyhealth-store.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14681557774739137531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640295329219708081.post-43984603013847629222010-02-05T12:45:00.000-08:002010-02-05T12:45:32.732-08:00Protecting Your Brain from Early AgingMany studies have documented the neuro-protective and chemo-preventative properties of various nutritional compounds in models of brain injury.<br />

<br />
<br />
A new, multicenter study verified that Corvalen D-ribose is an effective treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FMS).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
53 health practitioners enrolled 257 patients who had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. They were given D-ribose, a naturally occurring pentose carbohydrate, at a dose of 5-g TID for 3 weeks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All patients were assessed at baseline (one week before treatment was begun) and after 1, 2, & 3 weeks of treatment using a Visual Analog Scale (of 1-7 points) rating energy, sleep, cognitive function, pain and overall well-being. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Improvement in the first week.<br />
<br />
203 patients completed the 3 week treatment trial. The results showed statistically significant improvement in all 5 parameters after 3 weeks of D-ribose treatment (p < .0001).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
New hope for new treatment.<br />
<br />
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia have been historically difficult to define and notoriously difficult to treat. Only recently has this condition been given the attention it deserves. The findings of this study give hope that soon, D-ribose will become part of an efficacious, well-accepted course of treatment.myhealth-store.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14681557774739137531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640295329219708081.post-75207575866278211052010-01-30T06:54:00.000-08:002010-01-30T06:54:16.819-08:00Vitamin K and Heart DiseaseVitamin K<br />
