Gallbladder Food Allergy Panel by Meridian Valley Lab - Free Shipping “SAVE MY GALLBLADDER” A NEW FOOD ALLERGY TEST PANEL “What’s this headline? Can it possibly be true that a test for food allergy can save me from surgery to remove my gallbladder? My doctor and the surgeon he referred me to for the gallbladder surgery both say this claim is obviously nonsense and quackery.” Apparently physicians who say that haven’t read or even heard of the reported research on this topic. The researcher was Dr. James C. Breneman, who was for many years of the 20th century the Chairman of the Food Allergy Committee of the American College of Allergists, not likely a position to be held by “quack doctor”. Dr. Breneman’s report tells us that patients with either surgical or X-ray evidence of gallstones were “placed on elimination diet therapy to determine if there were certain guilty foods not generally suspected of causing gallbladder symptoms. All of these patients, 100 percent, were free from all gallbladder symptoms while they were on the basic elimination diet. Gallbladder symptoms recurred in 83 percent of the patients when eggs were added to their diets. The foods in order of their guilt are as follows: egg, pork, onion, fowl, milk, coffee, orange, corn, beans, and nuts; less frequent were apple, tomato, peas, cabbage, spices, peanuts, fish, rye, and medications. Since reading Dr. Breneman’s research reports and books in the 1970s, I have shared this information with individuals suffering from gallbladder attacks who’ve been told they should have their gallbladders removed, encouraged them to determine what their individual food allergies might be, and then (of course) eliminate them. As Dr. Breneman would have predicted, everyone followed this recommendation had no more gallbladder symptoms at all after their food allergies were totally eliminated. BE AWARE As quoted above, Dr. Breneman listed “medications” as the smallest percentage of potential allergens which could trigger gallbladder spasms (“attacks”). Unfortunately names of specific medications are not mentioned in his book or research report; for this reason they are not included in the  test panel. If you are taking any medications—particularly patented or formerly patented medications—please check with your physician skilled and knowledgeable in natural medicine before discontinuing any medications. Also be aware: Some individuals whose gallbladder symptoms have been eliminated by adherence to an allergy-free diet are told that despite that, they should still have their gallbladders removed because “the gallstones might cause trouble in the future.” However, as noted in the article on another page of this newsletter, a major medical journal article concluded (in the 20th century) that if a person had gallstones but no pain, so-called “silent gallstones”, it’s best not to operate as the risks of surgery are greater than the risk of blockage of the bile duct. Have seen no contradiction of this conclusion in either the 20th or 21st centuries.   No consultation is included with this test, results will be sent to you.

Arginine Plus Suppository by Zetpil - Free Shipping   Holistic Doctor Recommended Oral arginine stimulates the release of arginase. Arginase decreases the systemic availability of Nitric Oxide (NO) leading to poor vascular health, diabetes complications, and erectile dysfunction.* Research indicates that NO bioavailability is compromised in the aging human heart and vasculature.*     Potential of Zetpil Arginine Plus   Arginine is a precursor to Nitric oxide (NO) and its production/bioavailability decreases with age. Nitric Oxide is a powerful protector against vascular “traumas” such as inflammation, plaque build-up and blood clots (thrombosis) which lead to cardiovascular diseases. * Endothelial dysfunction has been implicated in age-associated issues such as memory loss, hypertension, stroke, erectile dysfunction, and renal dysfunction.* Arginine increases blood flow which improves wound healing.* * THESE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE.   Supplement Facts Each Zetpil™ Arginine Plus contains the following ingredients:   L–Arginine (a proprietary blend of three of the most active forms of this free amino acid)           444mgs   Magnesium          160mgs   B3/Niacinamide    5mgs   B2/Riboflavin        5mgs   Folinic Acid           1.3mgs   **Note: Each Zetpil™ Arginine suppository is the equivalent of 4,000-5,000 mgs of oral Arginine.     Serving Size: 1 Suppository Servings Per Container: 60 Dosage and Use: 2 per day.

Arginine is a precursor to polyamines-the cell’s building blocks, which are important for wound repair. Arginine is the only substrate for nitric oxide synthesis. Nitric oxide has a beneficial effect on circulatory status and increases blood supply to the wound. Arginine contains immune-enhancing properties that reduce the risk of infectious complications of a wound. “Nitric oxide (NO) is critical in defending against infection and is a potent antimicrobial. Work in humans shows that topically delivered NO (Arginine is substrate for NO and bypasses arginase when delivered through the skin vs. oral delivery) is clinically useful and no more toxic than currently available antimicrobials.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3442839/   Blood Flow:   Arginine is crucial in the formation of endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) that is required to maintain the plasticity of the endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels), repair the endothelium, and prevent the formation of fatty and atherosclerotic plaques. Nitric oxide is the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, causing the smooth muscle in the vessel wall to relax and the blood vessels to dilate. Adequate nitric oxide also helps to insure proper blood flow without increases in blood pressure. Nitric oxide increases blood flow to muscles to increase strength, endurance and overall muscle health. Arginine is an amino acid that is a growth hormone releaser. The decrease of growth hormone in the human body with aging is a major reason why muscle mass tends to decrease with age and body fat tends to increase with age. Neural Health:   Nitric oxide now also appears to be the neurotransmitter responsible for converting short-term memories to long-term memories in the brain. This is another ability that often declines with aging.
