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.

D-5000, Vitamin D-5000 by Thorne Research - Free Shipping Per the manufacturer, Thorne Research products are not available for sale online to the public.  Please call us for more information.   Holistic Doctor Recommended  Product Information It is essential to maintain healthy vitamin D levels throughout all stages of life, from fetal development to old age.* D-5000 by Thorne Research helps protect a number of important functions in the body.* The current recommended daily vitamin D intake of 400 IUs is based on the minimum allowance to protect against bone disease. However, an upward revision of the FDA's guideline is now under consideration in light of new research, especially pertaining to immune function. Cutting-edge research suggests serum vitamin D levels should be in the range of 32-80 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). Although direct sunlight exposure is a good source of vitamin D, many people do not get enough sun due to season change, latitude, or lifestyle. Therefore, vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these cases.* Vitamin D deficiency is quite common, particularly among the elderly.* For example, a study conducted at a hospital in Glasgow, Scotland, found an almost universal vitamin D deficiency among a group of 548 elderly patients. Individuals deficient in vitamin D may need 5,000-10,000 IU of vitamin D daily to replenish tissue stores.* With these individuals specifically in mind, Thorne's D-5,000 supplies 5,000 IU of pure vitamin D3 in each vegetarian capsule. Some vitamins, because of their potency, are usually given in very small amounts. Examples of such "micro-dose" vitamins include vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin B12. Most dietary supplement manufacturers purchase "micro-dose" vitamins from raw material suppliers as premixed dilutions, meaning the vitamins (in powder form) are mixed with other powdered substances that in turn make it easier for the manufacturer to handle and mix a larger quantity of raw material. Unfortunately, the powdered substances used in these premixed dilutions frequently contain potentially detrimental ingredients such as lactose and also the preservatives BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid. At Thorne Research, our promise is to give you the purest supplements humanly possible. Therefore, we do not purchase premixed dilutions of any "micro-dose" vitamins. Instead, we purchase pure, undiluted vitamins and create our own dilutions when it is necessary to do so, using pure, hypoallergenic powders, such as magnesium citrate or plant cellulose. The resultant premixture is then added to the dietary supplement being made, ensuring the proper amount of each pure nutrient is contained in each capsule.   Ingredients 60 Vegetarian Capsules One Capsule Contains: Vitamin D (as Vitamin D3) 5,000 IU Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Leucine, Silicon Dioxide, Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols).  Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by a health-care practitioner.

Use under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Kavinace Ultra PM is uniquely designed to promote sleep by promoting healthy levels of the primary neurotransmitters and hormones involved in sleep. It is frequently recommended for patients with elevated levels of glutamate and PEA, decreased levels of serotonin and melatonin, and may be beneficial in some individuals with elevated epinephrine and norepinephrine.   GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, which means it plays a central role in balancing the excitability of neurons (1). Because of this reason, GABA is important for promoting sleep, calm, and managing stress (2-4). Stress is thought to alter GABA synthesis and activity by affecting the expression of GABA-synthesizing enzymes and receptors (5). The effects of Kavinace Ultra PM have been studied in a randomized, placebo-controlled study. One capsule of Kavinace Ultra PM taken at bedtime for 5 days significantly improved quality of sleep as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (6).* Participants taking Kavinace Ultra PM reported decreased time to fall asleep, increased duration of sleep, and decreased sleep disturbances (6).* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

SpectraCell's Micronutrient Test Panel - Free Shipping Holistic Doctor Recommended Before the introduction of our tests, many diagnosis and risk assessments were based on clinical observation and measurements of static levels of certain nutrients in serum.
