The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

Was it Niaspan? Had a friend who used to be a rep for that drug.

Fenchol from basil leaves was recently identified as possibly helpful also.

I predict another study soon talking about how toxic time-released niacin is. After all, this HAS to be a cheap drug, and as everyone knows, we can’t have THAT now can we?

The niacin flush is REAL, y’all.

They should find something . . . after all, they have a 24/7 lab rat living in the White House that is fully insured.

Of hopeful note to those having loved ones with Alzheimer’s:

“

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE: NUTRITIONAL THERAPIES

by Andrew W. Saul

First, some very good news:

Niacin halts and reverses Alzheimer’s disease.
The human dose equivalent of 2,000 to 3,000 mg/day of vitamin B3 was given to mice with Alzheimer’s.
One of the researchers reported, “Cognitively, they were cured. They performed as if they’d never developed the disease.”

Choline
AD patients have a deficiency of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine because they are deficient in the enzyme, choline acetyltransferase, needed to make it. This results in curtailed manufacture and presence of acetylcholine in the brain. But there is a way around this: increasing dietary choline raises blood and brain levels of acetylcholine. Choline is readily available in cheap, non-prescription lecithin.

A large quantity of choline (from lecithin) is necessary for clinical results. Lecithin is non-toxic. [Little, et al (1985) A double-blind, placebo controlled trial of high dose lecithin in Alzheimer’s disease. J Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 48: 736-742.]

The usual cautions about adding niacin if you are taking statins. An interaction can cause increased risk of rhabdomyolysis, but minimally with smaller niacin doses.

Niacin isn’t a drug.

It’s a B vitamin.

It’s a nutraceutical, not a pharmaceutical.
