LATEST NEWS FROM www.vitasearch.com on GOOD HEALTH and LONG LIFE!
An increasing level of research interest into the nutrient depletions caused by many prescription medicines, is highlighted in the results of clinical trials in the following areas: *Alpha Lipoic Acid's value in the reduction of cholesterol,triglycerides, its usefulness in reduction of atherosclerosis ( artery blockage) is discussed. * Selenium: Supplementaion in men who have prostatic cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia is recommended where men have whole blood selenium levels lower than normal ( 85 to 162 microgrm per litre), as the study showed all subjects with these conditions were selenium depleted. * Co-enzyme Q10. Ever since there was a direct correlation shown between the depletion of this enzyme and the leg pain and cognitive impairment associated with mid term use of Statin drugs ( HMG Co-reductase Inhibitors used to lower Cholesterol),there have been many trials on its other benefits.It is now shown to be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress, pre-operatively in those undergoing Bypass surgery AND heplful, in conjunction with Alpha Lipoic Acid, in slowing diabetic retinopathy in diabetics. *Folic Acid and Vitamin B12; The results of this trial in 96 Japanese adults with a mean age of 75 years,strongly suggests that the maintenance of optimal levels of both these agents,offsets the development of cognitive decline and dementia in this cohort. The Health Professionals on Staff at THE NATURAL HEALTH CENTRE, can discuss the relevance of these, and other findings, to your clinical profile.For example, a simple Folate/Vitamin B12 supplement is readily available to offset the paucity of these ingredients in flour derived from wheat grown in our ancient Aussie soils.

Fish Oil taken with Glucosamine 1500 daily, is acknowledgedby both medical practitioners and naturopaths alike, as the best treatment for osteo-arthritis. In a double-blind clinical trial conducted in Europe some years ago, it was found that symptomatic relief from knee pain and swelling was achieved after a daily dose of 6grams of Fish Oil and 1500mg of glucosamine, after 4 to 6 weeks.This relief persists while the dosage is maintained.Additional benefits from the use of Fish Oil include improved peripheral blood flow ( vascularisation),thus reducing the chance of heart attack or stroke.On the downside, glucosamine, derived from crushed sea shells, presents problems for those with allergy to crustaceans.It can also affect blood clotting times and has a mild hyperglycaemic effect, so speak to your Doctor, before commencing treatment if you are being medicated with Warfarin, or agents used to control Type II diabetes.
