New Research about Nutrition and Natural Medicine   05/08

   Save Your Skin: page 2

Alzheimer's-A new test is available for those at genetic risk of developing Alzheimer's. Smart Genetics offers this saliva test at a cost of $399. Results can be used to develop a protocol to lower one's risk of developing this memory robber. 

Exhaustion-was remedied by 300 mgs of Coenzyme Q-10 per day in a Japanese study of cyclists.  After 8 days of treatment,  cyclists improved their times and reported less fatigue after their races. Co enzyme Q-10 commonly declines after age 40.  It is difficult to obtain quality products without paying the price about 1$ per day. Visit the Natural Pharmacy to buy QUALITY Co-Q-10. 

Mood-Altering Research:-a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing 12 different brands of antidepressants published over 90% of positive research related to their products but only 10-15% of the negative.

The manufacturers now say they'll publish all the research...Yeah, right!

Drugged Water-Update: if you read my article in the 3/08 Nutrition News you learned that over 40 million americans have drugs in their water supply. Washington State has stepped up to do something about that.  Consumers can drop meds in disposer boxes at 25 pharmacies in the Washington area where they will be incinerated. Incineration is thought to be the safest disposal method at the time of this writing.

CT Scan Overkill- The New England Journal of medicine recently warned that one-third of all CT scans may be unnecessary. The study's authors estimate that 2% of all future cancers may be due to CT scans.  We'll cover radiation exposure from myriad sources in July right here at: Apple-A-Day-Clinic.COM.

Insomnia-is a huge health issue, especially for women.  Health consequences include: diminished immune function, elevated risk of heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and , especially in women: Obesity

Virtual Colonoscopy -may not be nearly as accurate as the traditional one at detecting early cancer. While both detect polyps the virtual colonoscopy was not able to detect flat lesions a common form of colon cancer.

Supplements Fail -a great majority of the time according to independent raters...quality varies significantly for purity, quality and effectiveness.  Independent tests show that over 30% of major vitamin brands fail completely. Our Natural Pharmacy highlights vitamins that have an index of at least .75 or above according to the industry standards.  This is the top score attainable for many products.

Acai berries:

May be helpful externally as well as internally.  Another external antioxidant which can prevent and reverse skin aging is the coffee berry, discovered because coffee berry handlers had such smooth skin on their hands.  Expect to see new anti-aging products with these two ingrediants soon.

Liver Detox is contingent upon adequate water intake.  As your liver flushes out toxins and converts fat to usable energy forms,  water is required to help it function optimally. Most people are at least partially underhydrated. How to be sure you are drinking enough? Your urine should be pale yellow or even colorless...hard to attain if you take vitamins. Fresh fruits and veggies can count for 1/3 of your fluid intake so can herbal teas. Caffeine take fluid from your system.

Weight loss- may be triggered by quality probiotics, according to a recent study in Cellular Biology.

Improvements in digestion and absorption can promote a healthy metabolism and weight loss, we learn from researchers at the Arizona Heart Hospital.

I have seen this result for many years now.  We recommend very few Probiotics, because only a handful work,  clinically.

Please visit our pharmacy for more information regarding quality probiotics.

Boost Exercise by scheduling it in your Blackberry or PDA. A recent University study showed that when those times are scheduled and reminded, often people are much more likely to adhere to their plan. A regular schedule is very effective in forming positive habits. It takes at least a month to form a new postive habit...try it!
