One thing that drugs, supplements & herbal medicines have in common is that they can produce undesired outcomes, also known as side effects. But what are side effects, really? And why do they occur? We get knee-deep in nuance in this ep, also covering the recent Vitamin B6 toxicity controversy and a big (but often overlooked) problem with our nation's beloved Panadol (paracetamol). Welcome back!

In this #NutritionScienceBites episode, Prof Clare Collins and Ilyse Jones discuss the serious issue of vitamin B6 toxicity, highlighted by a case of a GP who unknowingly consumed excessive amounts through a magnesium supplement. They emphasize the importance of reading labels carefully, as many supplements contain hidden ingredients that can lead to health complications. The discussion also touches on the growing trend of supplement use and the need for professional guidance when considering supplementation, advocating for a diet rich in whole foods to meet nutritional needs.Foods rich in magnesium: Nuts, wholegrains, legumes (like lentils), dark green vegetables, avocadoFoods rich in Vitamin B6: Meat, chicken, peanuts, tofu and soy products, oats and some fortified breakfast cereals, bananas, watermelon and milk.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, we tackle the complex world of supplements, focusing on one essential yet often misunderstood vitamin: B6. For breast cancer survivors, supplements can feel like a lifeline, but they're not always the safest or most effective choice. Join me, as I dive into understanding the role of supplements and the science behind vitamin B6, its role in the body, and why it deserves special consideration after a breast cancer diagnosis. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why breast cancer survivors often turn to supplements for a sense of safety. The staggering amount of money spent annually on supplements—and how much is actually absorbed by the body. The critical role of vitamin B6 in hormone regulation, brain health, and energy metabolism. How cancer treatments alter liver function and impact vitamin metabolism. Why high doses of B6 supplements may pose risks for breast cancer survivors, including interference with cancer treatments. Evidence from studies exploring the relationship between B6, cancer, and overall health outcomes. The benefits of getting B6 from whole foods and a list of nutrient-rich options. Links to Studies Cited Dietary Sources vs. Supplementation of B6: Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention: Read the study here Highlights the benefits of plasma B6 levels from dietary sources and associated health markers. B6 Supplementation and Cancer Treatments: Journal of Clinical Oncology: Access the study here Discusses how excess B6 supplementation may interfere with drug metabolism and exacerbate treatment side effects. Key Takeaways Supplements Are Not One-Size-Fits-All: Each person's body is unique, and cancer survivors have different nutritional needs and metabolic processes. B6 from Food Is Safer: Nutrient-rich foods like chicken, salmon, bananas, potatoes, and spinach provide B6 naturally without the risks of over-supplementation. Work with Your Care Team: Before adding any supplements to your routine, consult with a healthcare provider to tailor choices to your specific health needs. Actionable Steps Review your current supplement regimen and evaluate whether it aligns with your health goals. Incorporate more B6-rich foods into your diet for safe and natural benefits.

Sounds like a boring and not-relevant-for-most topic but it was a surprisingly interesting and relevant-for-many conversation. Did you know that some widely-used magnesium supplements contain up to forty times (40X) the RDI (recommended daily intake) of vitamin B6? Even more ridiculous when you consider that most people don't even know these products contain any B6 because they're actually trying to supplement their magnesium! And what are the potential consequences of overdosing on B6? Oh, only muscle weakness, nerve damage, numbness, tingling, nausea, loss of balance, peripheral pain, vision damage and more. Guess who just checked and (subsequently) chucked his magnesium tabs in the bin?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tanzende Augen, Muskeltonus null: Im REM-Schlaf verbessern wir Gedächtnis, Kreativität und Laune, verarbeiten Probleme und Sorgen. Was unseren REM-Schlaf stört, wie wir ihn verbessern, und was B-Vitamine damit zu tun haben, ob wir uns an unsere Träume erinnern.Über den Schlaf gibt es mittlerweile eine Reihe wirklich guter Bücher. Eines davon: das „Große Buch vom Schlaf“ von Matthew Walker, hier erhältlich. Wer wissen möchte, wieso Stefan so lachen musste, als Andreas den „Bahnwärter Thiel“ von Gerhart Hauptmann erwähnte: Das liegt an einer schulischen Traumatisierung. Es gibt kein traurigeres, düstereres Buch! Hier lässt sich das kostengünstig überprüfen. Tatsächlich kann das Fehlen der Erinnerung an Träume mit einem Mangel an Vitamin B6 zu tun haben. (Der übrigens auch eine Reihe anderer und wesentlicherer Symptome hervorruft.) B6 ist in relativ vielen Supplements enthalten, aber eine zusätzliche Supplementierung mit Augenmaß kann bei Bedarf nicht schaden. Ein gutes B6-Präparat gibt es zum Beispiel hier. Moleqlar Qnite mit Ashwagandha, Sauerkirschextrakt und Magnesium-Bisglycinat gibt es hier. Fenistil-Tropfen gibt es zum Beispiel hier. Weil Andreas und Stefan so häufig gefragt werden, welche Produkte sie selbst verwenden, haben sie gemeinsam mit Julia Tulipan eine Seite eingerichtet, auf der sie ihre persönlichen Lieblingsprodukte (und aktuelle Rabattcodes) sammeln.Das Buch „Ab jetzt Biohacking“ von Andreas Breitfeld und Stefan Wagner erschien am 17.

A building block of several neurotransmitters that play a key role in a limitless mind; dopamine, epinephrine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and GABA.Vitamin B6 (or Pyroxidine) is a water-soluble vitamin that needs to be consumed daily via diet or supplementation. It operates as a Nootropic or smart drug benefiting our cognition, memory, nervous system, and brain health in multiple dimensions.Read Meta-Analysis
Today, we are exploring the benefits of Vitamin B6.Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient for horses and humans, and I use it regularly for various purposes. In this episode, I explain how it functions in the body, the signs and causes of a Vitamin B6 deficiency, and how to use it effectively.Nutrient Deficiency and Therapeutic Use of B6 in HorsesVitamin B6 gets used for its therapeutic properties in horses, even without a confirmed deficiency. Many horses are likely deficient in Vitamin B6, especially those on hay diets without access to fresh forage.Regulatory Minimums in Horse FeedsIn Canada, the CFIA mandates minimum levels of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E) in horse feeds, but B vitamins like B6 are often left out. That can lead to deficiencies, as the commercial feeds might not always meet the nutrient requirements of some horses.Digestive and Absorption ChallengesMany horses struggle to absorb nutrients from their feed, especially those with digestive issues like ulcers, colic, or diarrhea. Even when given sufficient food, compromised digestion can reduce the effectiveness and compound nutritional deficiencies over time.Role of B6 in Metabolism and HealthVitamin B6 is essential for carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, so it is critical for horses with metabolic conditions like insulin resistance. Vitamin B6 also supports magnesium and Vitamin B12 absorption and helps to address those nutrient deficiencies.B6 for Skin, Immunity, and InflammationVitamin B6 helps with conditions like itchy, flaky skin and hives in horses. It also improves immune health by regulating inflammation and fluid retention, making it particularly useful for horses with metabolic issues.Neurological and Behavioral BenefitsVitamin B6 is involved in neurotransmitter production, like serotonin and melatonin, which affect brain health and mood regulation. Horses with anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues may benefit from Vitamin B6 supplementation, as it helps balance the nervous system.Hormonal Imbalance and Liver SupportVitamin B6 helps regulate estrogen, making it useful for mares with hormonal issues or insulin-resistant horses with liver stress. It supports liver detoxification, which is crucial for horses with a high toxic load due to poor diet or metabolic conditions.Sources of B6Vitamin B6 is in flax and wheat germ, but it is hard to determine the exact amount in horse feed. As such, targeted Vitamin B6 supplementation is often necessary to meet their needs.Signs of Vitamin B6 DeficiencyDeficiency symptoms include hormonal imbalances, weight gain, joint inflammation (often misdiagnosed as arthritis), skin problems, depression, and anxiety. So, horses with these symptoms tend to improve with Vitamin B6 supplementation.Proper Dosage and FormsThe recommended Vitamin B6 dose for horses is around 750 mg of B6 daily, with up to 1000 mg for a loading dose. The pyridoxine form of B6 is commonly used for horses, while the P5P form is more bioavailable for humans.ConclusionVitamin B6 offers significant benefits, from supporting metabolic health to improving behavioral issues and reducing inflammation. If you are trying Vitamin B6 for your horse, pay attention to any health or mood changes and adjust the dosage as needed.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.Free Webinar Masterclass: Four Steps to Solving Equine Metabolic...
Today, we are tackling the topic of swelling, a symptom I often encounter in horses.Swelling, particularly in the udder or sheath, is usually accompanied by extremity swelling (peripheral edema) due to fluid pooling in the legs. Visible swelling is a common concern for horse owners. It is never a good sign, especially if it becomes chronic.The Lymphatic SystemWhen I see fluid retention in horses, I think about the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system maintains the fluid balance between the blood and tissues, excreting toxins and supporting the immune system. Fluid Retention Many owners fail to recognize fluid retention in their horses, mistaking it for weight gain. But they usually realize it when they notice the swollen or puffy tissues. Once these horses get put on a proper metabolic program, the swelling reduces, and they lose significant weight.Factors Contributing to Fluid RetentionFluid retention in horses can be the result of various factors. Insulin resistance and metabolic issues are common, but owners should consider thyroid health, liver function, and lymphatic efficiency. Damaged capillaries due to advanced insulin resistance can cause fluid leakage, and protein deficiencies can also result in fluid buildup, presenting a pot-bellied or bloated appearance.Movement is KeyA big reason for fluid retention is a lack of movement. Horses must move as their lymphatic system relies on movement to function properly. Their hooves play a vital role in circulating blood and lymph, and when horses stand still for long periods, the fluid retention worsens. So movement is essential, whether through exercise or simply encouraging them to walk around in their environment.Diet and Sugar ContentSugar content in a horse's diet, especially from grass, plays a significant role in fluid retention. Too much sugar leads to glycogen storage, which causes water retention. By controlling the sugar intake and increasing fiber, protein, and healthy fats, the swelling will reduce, and metabolic function will improve. However, diet alone will not solve the problem if the horse does not move enough.Allergies and Protein DeficiencyIf swelling persists despite addressing movement and sugar levels, it is worth exploring allergies or protein deficiencies. Sometimes, horses react to particular types of hay or even alfalfa, which may lead to inflammation and fluid retention. Ensuring a balanced protein intake is essential, as low protein can cause fluid to pool in the belly area.Stress and Hormonal FactorsStress affects insulin and cortisol levels, potentially damaging capillaries and leading to fluid retention. Movement is a great way to reduce stress and improve circulation, and exercise is a critical factor in managing insulin resistance and overall health.B6 and Magnesium SupplementsOnce the diet and movement of the horse are optimized, supplements can help address any remaining fluid retention. Vitamin B6 is my go-to, as it helps reduce fluid retention by acting as a diuretic and improving kidney function. Magnesium can also be helpful, but B6 is usually the most effective supplement.ConclusionFluid retention in horses is a common issue and often a sign of underlying problems like poor circulation, high blood sugar, or nutritional imbalances. Movement, diet, and stress management are the keys to addressing it, with supplements like B6 providing additional support if needed.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my

Anxiety, depression, and other mental distress can be caused by pyrrole disorder (aka pyroluria). How can this loss of zinc, Vitamin B6, and other nutrients be identified and treated? “He suddenly developed anxiety, intrusive thoughts and images…[of] brutal things happening to his parents,” says Dr. Jingduan Yang MD, describing his then 9-year-old patient, who also suffered insomnia, restlessness, and low attention span. A simple urine test of the boy confirmed much higher than normal kryptopyrrole in his system – a problem Dr. Yang sees in 50 to 70 percent of his patients; often severely impacting their mental health. Dr. Yang is a psychiatrist and integrative medicine doctor who combines western medicine and holistic medicine, including acupuncture and advanced nutrient therapy in his practice. “People come in with all kinds of diagnoses–bipolar disorder, major depression, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective [disorder], and all kinds of things,” he says. “But nobody…[asked if] there was an underlying biochemical imbalance contributing to a critical nutritional deficiency, he adds.” Dr. Yang joins Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to highlight pyrrole disorder as an overarching cause of mental disorder. What signs would alert parents to pyrrole disorder in their children? And where does the 9-year-old treated with advanced nutrient therapy stand now, five years later?

In der Praxis von Dr. Sybille Freund spielen Messwerte eine wichtige Rolle. Aber nicht alles, was man messen kann, kann man wirklich messen. Will sagen: manche Messwerte sind in der Praxis einigermaßen irrelevant. Und das liegt nicht an dem da jeweils gemessenen Stoff. Vitamin B6 zum Beispiel ist ungemein wichtig (manche Ärzte schreiben sogar ein Buch darüber…Dr. Freund zum Beispiel…). Aber was man davon im Blut des Patienten messtechnisch mitbekommt, ist nicht wirklich aussagekräftig. Warum man diesen zentralen Einflussfaktor auf den Stoffwechsel anders anschauen muss als über Laborwerte, erklärt Dr. Sybille Freund in der heutigen Folge von „Medizin für Mitdenker“.

Around 20% to 50% of all women will have some sort of fibroid or endometriosis before the age of 50. A fibroid is a growth on the uterus that is not cancerous. Research has shown that vitamin D may help shrink the size of fibroids. If you're vitamin D deficient, your risk of developing uterine fibroids is much higher. Vitamin D naturally inhibits the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens to estrogen. Vitamin D can also affect the fibroid itself. If you have enough vitamin D, certain tumor and cancer cells will commit suicide. Dr. Bruce Hollis has done extensive research on the benefits of vitamin D but says a lot of research on vitamin D has been rejected by top medical journals! Around 50,000 IUs of vitamin D daily may help shrink fibroids in the uterus. You'll also need to take the following vitamin D cofactors: •500 mcg vitamin K2 •800 mg magnesium •50 mg zinc •Vitamin B6 and boron (recommended dose on the bottle) More tips to help shrink fibroids naturally: • Get on the ketogenic diet • Increase your consumption of cruciferous vegetables • Limit dairy consumption DATA: https://www.europeanreview.org/wp/wp-... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11914... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11470... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36014... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24174... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
I went through many hair-loss programs and I want to present something that works and is affordable.Besides of severe diseases the reasons of losing the hair are:1. The calcifications of the blood vessels that are supporting the hair roots with nutrition…2. The lack of nutrition necessary for growing the hair…3. Stress.4. The lousy Attitude of the people (to be a sheep) who are losing hairs… People who don't have the freedom to think freely, regardless what the society proclaim is correct, and that are 90% of the population. 1. The calcification of the blood vessels is a huge problem caused by dairy products, industrial processed food, meat…The Japanese have designed 1000 years ago the dish Natto, that are special fermented Soybeans with Vitamin K2 that drives the calcium from the blood into the bones!In addition, we have to purify the blood and kidneys with juice from Watermelon with the peel, at least 1/2l per day for at least 2 months. And to clean the liver with milk thistle supplement for at least 6 weeks. 2. Through the bad soil that we have today, our fruits and vegetables have lost 90% of their nutrition within 100 years… So that the population eats too less nutrition. What is needed for the hairs? Fish collagen or Gelatin.Silica for stronger and flexible hairs and bones that hinder them to break too fast…Natto or Vitamin K2 in MK7 form.Biotin.Vitamin B6.Copper, Zinc.And you should eat pro-biotic in the form of fermented vegetables, soybeans, or pro-biotic supplement every day. Because then your digest system will work so much better and can get much more nutrition out of your food. 3. Avoid stress…How to prevent and regrow the hair…1. Apply Biotin as conditioner and/or take a biotin supplement. Biotin is a vitamin B component and so not harmful. I have tried Biotin Conditioner from Avalon Organics already over 2 years, and it helps… In the long run the medicaments minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss are harming and not useful. 2. Low level laser therapy for pattern balding with Infrared Laser LED.This device is expensive you get it from Amazon and eBay. So more laser diodes so better… It has positive science proofed results for hair loss. But the results are different… So shorter your hair, so better, because the hairs are blocking the infrared light… A laser comb makes more sense. 3. Soft Head massage daily 20 minutes. Science proofed. 4. Micro needling only useful when done by specialists. Science proofed.5. Hair implant are too expensive. 6. Onion Juice, I am doing it already… It is cheap and affordable with positive science proofed results… On a 14 days survive, done with 2 times/day onion juice on the head, even bald patches on the head could grow hair. Try out 14 days onion juice on the head for 1 hour, once a day for every day. And then every second/third day… 2 mid-size onions (5cm diameter) should be enough… Juice the onions, wash your hair before, dry the hair until they are only wet. And slowly put the onion juice on your head and let them 1 hour on your head. Wash the onion juice out of your hair only with water is the best.… Don't cry… The first 3 times it is not so easy (without pain, no gain) after that it is easy to do… 7. Rosemary oil is proved for helping hair loss and regrowing hairs, it gets the same results like minoxidil and finasteride without side effects. You can use only 3 drops (never above 5 drops) of rosemary 100% essential oil for every application. Blend it with water, Baby shampoo and foam it up with a paint brush… and then you massage it softly on your scalp… Let it soak for 2 minutes… Or blend rosemary oil together with apple cider water, conditioner, or with hair oil, best is almond oil for your scalp. The other option is to cook water with rosemary, cool it down until the water is red, filter the rosemary out. Wash your hair, spray the rosemary-water in your hair, massage it… After 1 hour wash the hairs again with water, otherwise the skin can dry out... You can keep Rosemary water in the refrigerator only 5 daysMy Video: Hair loss remedies https://youtu.be/pgoXAZSFTscMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast2/Hair-loss-remedies.mp3

In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, Dr. Justine Lee, DACVECC, DABT discusses isoniazid toxicosis in dogs. While isoniazid isn't a common toxicant seen in dogs, this antimicrobial (used to treat tuberculosis) can potentially be fatal when dogs get into poisonous amounts. Veterinary professionals must be aware of the narrow margin of safety with this human and veterinary antibiotic. Isoniazid poisoning in dogs (and rarely, cats) results in seizures, and is considered a potentially life-threatening neurotoxicant. The good news? Isoniazid has an antidote, Vitamin B6/pyridoxine, and prompt treatment and antidote therapy is necessary for best outcome.
Vitamin B6 is a water soluble vitamin that was thought not to build up in the body. Clearly, it can. In recent years, more B6 toxicity has been reported and become problematic for many people. There are severe side effects. In this episode, I go through what to look out for, how to diagnose and treatment. It is important to test, not to guess, so if you are experiencing these symptoms, get these tested and then a plan to remedy can follow. The deficiency symptoms are the same as toxicity symptoms, so try to test first!

Today, I want to cover the symptoms of a vitamin B6 deficiency you may have never heard of before. “They” say it's rare to become deficient in vitamin B6. However, it's possible to have a subclinical B6 deficiency that still affects your well-being, even if it's not a full-blown vitamin B6 deficiency. Vitamin B6 is important to support a healthy body. Typically, there are no side effects of taking vitamin B6 if you take less than 200 mg daily. If you take too much vitamin B6, you could experience toxicity effects. However, you would have to consume over 1000 mg of vitamin B6 per day to cause any issues. Foods rich in vitamin B6 are: • Beef • Pork • Fish • Chicken It's pretty well-known that if you have low vitamin B6, you may experience symptoms, including: • Rashes around the nose • Cracks or rashes around the mouth • Pink eye • Anemia • Neurological problems • Numbness in the hands and feet • Depression Surprising symptoms of a vitamin B6 deficiency: 1. Inflammation (especially gut inflammation) 2. Inability to control polyunsaturated fatty acids 3. Deficiencies in neurotransmitters 4. Inability to convert ALA to DHA 5. Poor selenium function 6. Inability to convert tryptophan to niacin 7. Alopecia 8. Seizures 9. High homocysteine levels 10. Increased risk of autism 11. Increased risk of gut pathogens Causes of vitamin B6 deficiency: • Processed foods • Diuretics • Blood pressure medications • Antibiotics • Birth control pills • Alcohol • Pregnancy or lactation • Smoking • Herbicides • Ginkgo biloba DATA: https://microbiomejournal.biomedcentr... https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1...

Welcome back to the Period Chats Podcast - today we are going to be exploring vitamins and minerals that are important for hormone balance! Vitamin D Scientific Explanation: Vitamin D can influence the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone, two primary female sex hormones. Adequate levels of vitamin D are associated with improved fertility and a reduced risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Moreover, vitamin D receptors are found in various body tissues, indicating its role in overall hormonal balance. Food Examples: Fatty fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel, and sardines), fortified dairy and non-dairy products, egg yolks, and beef liver. B Vitamins (especially B6, B9, and B12) Scientific Explanation: B vitamins play a pivotal role in hormone production and balance. Vitamin B6, for instance, is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which can influence mood and menstrual cycle regulation. Vitamin B9 (folate) is crucial for DNA synthesis and repair, and vitamin B12 supports nerve function and energy production. Food Examples: Whole grains, legumes, eggs, meat, leafy green vegetables, bananas, and fortified cereals. Iron Scientific Explanation: Iron is essential for the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone. It also helps in the formation of red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body. For menstruating women, adequate iron intake is especially important to compensate for blood loss during periods. Food Examples: Red meat, poultry, seafood, lentils, beans, tofu, spinach, fortified cereals, and pumpkin seeds. Magnesium Scientific Explanation: Magnesium supports the enzymatic reactions involved in hormone synthesis. It can also help alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as bloating, insomnia, and mood swings, by promoting muscle relaxation and improving mood-regulating neurotransmitter function. Food Examples: Leafy green vegetables (e.g., spinach, kale), nuts, seeds (especially pumpkin seeds), whole grains, and dark chocolate. Zinc Scientific Explanation: Zinc plays a role in the production and release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation). It's also involved in the synthesis of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Furthermore, zinc has antioxidant properties, helping protect cells from damage. Food Examples: Oysters, red meat, poultry, beans, nuts, whole grains, dairy products, and fortified cereals.

Understanding the Role of Inflammation in Migraines: Migraines can be an indication of inflammation within the body – signaling that something is not right^(1^). Chronic migraine: Defined as a headache occurring on 15+ days in a month for over three months, having migraine features on at least 8 of those days^(1^). Migraine & Disability: Ranked second globally as a cause of disability^(1^). Glutamate and CNS: Elevated glutamate levels in blood and cerebrospinal fluid of migraine patients hint at its role in migraine pathophysiology^(2^). Vitamin B6: Its roles extend beyond being a coenzyme in converting excitatory glutamate into inhibitory GABA; it's also crucial for neurotransmitter production and other neural pathways^(3^). NAC and Glutamate: NAC can regulate the glutamatergic system, which is associated with numerous psychiatric disorders^(4^). Reference 1 | Reference 2 | Reference 3 | Reference 4 2. Identifying Potential Migraine Triggers: Finding the underlying cause or trigger of your migraine is paramount^(1^). Some probable triggers include: Stress (80%) Hormonal Changes (65%) Skipped Meals (57%) ... and many more listed above. Additionally, imbalances in melatonin and serotonin levels have been linked to migraines^(2^,3^). Reference 1 | Reference 2 | Reference 3 3. Natural Pain Relievers for Migraine Management: Several natural treatments, like turmeric, fish oil, vitamin B2, magnesium, and butterbur, may aid in providing relief^(1^). Vitamin D: Supplementation can reduce the frequency of attacks in migraine sufferers^(4^,5^). Serotonin (5-HT): Implicated in migraine due to its vasoconstrictor effects and presence in pain-related regions^(3^). Melatonin: Demonstrates potential analgesic effects in various conditions, including migraines^(3^). Reference 1 | Reference 3 | Reference 4 | Reference 5 4. Chiropractic Treatments for Migraines: Studies suggest that chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy (CSMT) may be an effective treatment for migraines^(1^). Reference 1 5. Migraines & Stroke Risks: People with migraine auras have a slightly heightened risk of stroke^(1^). Consistent associations have been made between migraines with aura and increased risk of ischemic stroke^(2^).

Breast Implant Illness (BII) symptoms affect every system of the body, even gut health. In fact, many patients encounter chronic inflammation, a common symptom of BII, and can have a cascading effect on the gut. Inflammation in the body can disrupt the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal system and can disrupt the balance of hormones like estrogen and testosterone, potentially leading to reduced libido. While the impact of breast implants on aesthetics and confidence is well-known, the effects on overall health, including sexual health, are equally important and deserve our attention. That is why in today's episode, we'll be talking about breast implant illness in relation to libido. Evaluation of genetic function Even before any surgical operation for whatever purpose, we have to take into consideration the differences in genetics of every patient. In fact, evaluating the patient's genetics is vital to ensure full healing or recovery after undergoing an explant or breast implant removal. Understanding a patient's genetic makeup allows for a more personalized approach to treatment and recovery. It enables healthcare providers to anticipate potential complications and tailor their strategies to ensure optimal healing and recovery. This is particularly essential for those with BII, as the condition's severity can vary widely among individuals due to their genetic predisposition. This even relates to one's sexual health and ability to function, which is why it's also important to boost the immune system. When it comes to our immune system and overall well-being, the metabolism of Vitamin D plays a crucial role. Both men and women experience improved sexual function when their Vitamin D metabolism is functioning optimally. However, there are factors that can impair this process on a genetic level. Many of us are aware that sunlight exposure is a natural way to boost Vitamin D levels since sunlight converts Vitamin D into Vitamin D3. While sun exposure has its benefits, excessive amounts can harm your skin and potentially lead to skin cancer. From a genetic perspective, however, it's important to determine if you have the genetic components necessary for effectively utilizing Vitamin D, particularly in its converted form, Vitamin D3. Genetic issues can arise in three key areas. Firstly, some individuals may struggle to convert Vitamin D to D3 due to genetic factors. Even if you're getting enough sunlight, poor genetic function in this area can hinder the process. Secondly, transportation of activated Vitamin D3 can be problematic for certain individuals, resulting in reduced amounts of the active form available to the body. Lastly, there can be issues with the binding of activated Vitamin D3 to its receptor, preventing it from effectively aiding your body's functions. Vitamin D, metabolism, and sexual function As stated, understanding personal genetics plays a key role not just pre and post-surgical operations but even in different aspects concerning one's health. In fact, the lack of essential nutrients can have implications for various aspects of health, including libido, and shed light on the potential impact of breast implant illness on your overall well-being and sexual function. In my formulations, I've prioritized liquids over capsules or pills whenever possible because I understand that people often experience pill fatigue. A liquid supplement, such as a mouth spray, can offer a simple solution. With just a quick spray and holding it in your mouth for around 30 seconds, it gets absorbed efficiently, meeting your Vitamin D metabolism needs. Aside from Vitamin D, there are other essential vitamins that we should consider in our daily routines, and one of them is Vitamin B6, which plays a significant role in sexual function. Vitamin B6 helps regulate sex hormones and can boost libido. In both men and women, it aids in balancing estrogen and testosterone levels, as well as supporting essential neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. You can find Vitamin B6 in various foods, including bananas, avocados, potatoes, cottage cheese, and tomatoes. Incorporating these items into your diet can be a beneficial step toward improving your overall sexual health and well-being. Genetic testing for gut health As a breast implant illness specialist, I see many patients who have chronic inflammation, gut absorption issues, and other health problems. These conditions can make it difficult to absorb nutrients, including B vitamins. B vitamins are essential for many bodily functions, including sexual function. If you cannot methylate your B vitamins, you may experience impaired sexual function. I also worry about my patient' abilities to detoxify their bodies. The liver is responsible for detoxifying most toxins. Still, it needs the help of glutathione which is a powerful antioxidant that can bind to toxins and help eliminate them from the body. If you have constipation or other digestive problems, your body may not be able to produce enough glutathione. This can lead to a build-up of toxins, which can further impair your health. If you are concerned about the impact of breast implant illness on your libido or overall health, I recommend talking to your doctor. They can help you determine if you have any underlying health conditions that are contributing to your symptoms. You may also want to consider working with a functional medicine practitioner who can help you address the root cause of your health problems. The importance of good energy levels I see many patients who are struggling with sexual dysfunction. There are many factors that can contribute to this problem, including vitamin absorption issues, genetics, stress, and inflammation. It is thus crucial to have optimal energy levels within our cells. When cellular waste accumulates due to inefficient clearance mechanisms, it can hinder various cellular processes, including energy production by mitochondria. This is where antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E come into play, as they help support these pathways. However, if you face issues with vitamin absorption or have a lower-functioning antioxidant pathway, your energy levels can drop, which can directly impact your sexual function. To address this, we provide vitamin C in a liquid formulation to enhance absorption and restore energy levels. Oral supplementation is often used to bypass any gut issues that might hinder absorption. Additionally, high levels of stress, which can lead to elevated cortisol levels and adrenal fatigue, can further disrupt hormone production and contribute to sexual dysfunction. I believe that the key to addressing sexual dysfunction is achieving balance and addressing the root causes of inflammation. This involves a comprehensive approach, including genetic analysis, food sensitivity testing, gut microbiome assessments, hormone testing, and toxicity assessments through urine tests. It's important to recognize that chronic inflammation, such as in the case of breast implant illness, can negatively impact libido.

Get ready to take notes! Tip 1: B9 Vitamin Intake^1,2^ Vitamin B9 plays a crucial role in the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine, the neurotransmitters that regulate mood^1^. It's associated with psychiatric symptoms, and its neuroprotective benefits are lost when patients lack a specific genetic enzyme, which converts folate/folic acid to its most usable form, L-methylfolate. This allows for the synthesis of the three major neurochemicals-serotonin, nor-epinephrine, and dopamine-across the blood-brain barrier^2^. Studies: 1.

What if you could unlock the mysteries of that persistent numbness in your fingers? Would you be eager to learn about the common culprit, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and the many factors that contribute to it? Dr. Edward Lin, our esteemed Chief of Hand Surgery at the Kayal Orthopaedic Center, is joining us to unravel the complexities of this condition. We'll first delve into understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and its association with the median nerve in the hand. We also tackle how conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and even your job could be leading to the syndrome.Often, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome gets confused with other conditions due to the numerous sites where the median nerve can experience compression. Hence, Dr. Lin enlightens us on the importance of accurate diagnosis and the role of diagnostic imaging in the process. We highlight the benefits of an EMG nerve conduction study and how it can depict the severity of the condition. We'll then navigate through a sea of treatment options—ranging from immobilizing the wrist joint, modifying activities, to exercises like tendon gliding, and even medications that can manage the symptoms.We don't stop at conventional treatments. Dr. Lin walks us through fascinating alternative modalities like acupuncture and physical therapy. Hear about promising natural remedies like omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin B6 complex antioxidants. We explore how early intervention leads to better results, and the potential risks of severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome secondary to delayed treatment. Post-surgery recovery and the chances of recurrence are also discussed. All in all, we aim to provide you with exhaustive information to help you tackle Carpal Tunnel Syndrome effectively.

It's because most collagen is missing a critical ingredient. And without this “missing link,” collagen WILL NOT WORK. With this "missing link" you can turn loose, saggy skin –– into tight, glowing, younger-looking skin! So what is that missing link I am talking about? VITAMIN C. Of course, you may know Vitamin C as a powerful immune-boosting nutrient... But did you know Vitamin C is a critical nutrient for anti-aging? You see, Vitamin C it's the "glue" that holds collagen together in your body. And if you're low in Vitamin C, well all of that collagen you're taking is pointless. And here's the thing, not all Vitamin C supplements are created equal… If you're taking Vitamin C in capsule or tablet form, you are missing out on key nutrients as they will simply pass through your body without being absorbed (you can thank your stomach acid for that). However, our friends over at Purality Health have a patented formula that utilizes something called ‘MICELLE LIPOSOMAL' technology which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream – proven to be 800% more efficient! So, if your skin is looking older than you... And the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin, and otherwise “old-looking” skin frustrates you… Give Purality Health's Micelle Liposomal Vitamin C a try! It's backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Just visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon DRJ to access 30% OFF your purchase today! This podcast is sponsored by our friends at Paleovalley. And they have a great new product that I've been taking every morning that is called NeuroEffect. NeuroEffect is an organic blend of 8 different mushrooms that will fuel your brain for all-day concentration, clarity, and enhanced brain function. I'm a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms – I take them daily to support my immune system and my brain health. But did you know that virtually every mushroom product on the market isn't actually the mushroom? It's the mycelium that they grow on grain. This means they barely contain any of the medicinal compounds that mushrooms have to offer and instead contain up to 50% starch! The grain can cause gut irritation and can interfere with the absorption of the little mushrooms they do have in it. Paleovalley's NeuroEffect only uses whole mushrooms that are cultivated naturally and organically. They are then tested not once, but twice for quality, guaranteeing you get 2,100 mg of our neuro-supportive REAL mushrooms that have more than 26% beta-glucans ( the medicinal elements of a mushroom) in every serving, without the grains. Paleovalley has added an organic whole coffee fruit that has been shown in clinical trials to stimulate the production of a protein vital for focus, memory, and clarity. Which means no caffeine jitters, or feeling like you need an afternoon cup of coffee. Check out Paleovalley's Neuro Effect and use the coupon code 'JOCKERS' at checkout to get 15% off.

On this episode of This Thing Called Life Podcast, host Andi Johnson is going to talk to Shelly Sherman and Stephanie Jackson. They are discussing kidney health and an exciting new project that is being launched to shed light on kidney disease as well as prevention. No doctor or medical expert will kill you for your organs; In fact, no medical professional is aware of your donor status until your death is declared. Tune in for more information! Episode Highlights: Host Andi Johnson has a few big asks. Will you join us and be a part of this interconnected life sustaining community by registering to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor? Will you make the commitment to become more educated about living donation and championing the donation cause? Shelly is associated with the Cincinnati, Ohito chapter of The Links, Incorporated and she served as the Health and Human Services Facet Committee chair. The Ohio central chapter was granted an award by Baxter International for increasing the awareness of kidney health in the communities in which Shelly lives and primarily in the African American community. What is GFR? Shelly has been working hard in the community to make sure people know where they are regarding their GFR, which lets them know how well their kidneys are functioning and what they can do to maintain kidney health. The Links organization was founded in 1946 on the premise of friendship, and Shelly wants to uplift and elevate people by providing health information. Stephanie and Shelly first met through collaboration with The Center For Closing the Health Gap. Shelly had goals in mind based on the grant they received regarding the number of people that they needed to touch and the number of community partnerships that they needed to do. Shelly and Stephaine share the experiences they have had with training sessions and connecting in the community. They hope people will continue to listen to the podcast and continue doing some things and spreading the word in their communities. When people are ill, you can see it on their skin and eyes. You can notice the effects of kidney and liver illness on the skin and other body systems. Garlic is great for decreasing inflammation; It has Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and Manganese, a great alternative for your seasoning. If you want to decrease your psyllium, you can add more garlic, which is great for your heart and your kidney. The one thing is to avoid canned and packaged chicken breast because those can contain sodium and other preservatives. Raising awareness and making small changes goes such a long way in promoting healthier lifestyles. There is a great ripple effect too when you share information like this with those in your family and circles. 3 Key Points: Blueberries are an important food for kidney patients. They serve as antioxidants and are very good for healing. In addition, they help your body to increase urination. People talk about dialysis and transplant, and these are things that you want to avoid. By opting for a healthier lifestyle and changes in the food you eat, you can do that. There are so many ways you can just move your body, and Stephanie always tells people 15 to 20 minutes is sufficient. Make sure that your body is doing something that it doesn't do every day. Tweetable Quotes: “Whatever we are putting in our body, the body is going to use, and if we don't put in things that our body can use, then our body is not going to be able to function the way it's supposed to.” – Stephaine “Your body does need fat but only healthy fats because it helps everything stay lubricated and work well in all facets.” – Stephaine “So much of what happens to us is preventable, and a lot of it is due to a lack of information that is sometimes missed in our community.” – Shelly “Sometimes, we do have a mistrust of the medical systems, and we don't get some of the information that we need to have, but we can share it and start to educate each other.” - Shelly Resources Mentioned: LifeCenter | Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube| Twitter Andi Johnson website |LinkedIn Organ Donation Website https://www.cincinnatilinks.org/black-kare-initiative https://www.facebook.com/CincinnatiLinks https://www.instagram.com/cincinnatilinks/ https://www.yoursweetestlife.com/ https://www.facebook.com/yoursweetestlifewithstephaniej https://www.instagram.com/yoursweetestlifewithstephaniej/
Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Toni: My son, who is 36 years old is having severe hives and woke up today with a swollen face and lips. He went to the doctor and they gave him a steroid shot and hydroxyzine. They of course did not try to get the the root of the problem. These break outs have been going on with increased severity for three weeks. The rash seems to be deep, starting out as dots and becoming one huge whelp. He did discover that the laundry soap, containing lavender was a major irritant but even after eliminating this, the hives continue to get worse. Thank you in advance for answering this question! Lori: Hello, I came across your podcast on liver detoxification and found it really enlightening. I located the detox you sell on your website and noticed the high level of vit b-6, which is common in so many supplements. I struggle to understand this phenomenon. The recommended daily amount is between 1-3 mg yet every supplement contains 50mg or more. In Europe the upper limit is 30mg and there have been cases of toxicity reported at low levels. I'd love more information on the consumption of this particular vitamin, as I know it is really important. Thank you! Summer: Hi Doc! I really like the ayurvedic "diagnostics" =) podcasts! I have found that when I search these charts online that they are all different... Would you be willing to post examples of the most accurate charts you've seen from your experience? I saw there is a chart on the tongue podcast page, but I would love a tongue chart that links up symptoms to visible signs on the tongue, a facial diagnostic chart, and a fingernail chart. Hoping to get some clarity! Thanks for all you do! Summer Karen: I have a friend that keeps getting cancer, how can I help her get rid of it for good. She is done with chemo and radiation, they are no longer working. Thank you Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral I have a quick question on your opinion of high Oxalate foods .. I feel I may have an allergy to them so I bought the book Toxic Superfoods by Sally K. Norton and it's making a lot of sense . I also have to stay away from high histamine foods do to MCAS. My ability to eat an assortment of food is becoming smaller and smaller . I have ran the big 5 and removed the allergy foods but I'm sensitive to other foods that did not show up on the allergy test . I love your DNS shake and drink it every morning but I've been noticing I'm still very bloated every day . Im confused on what my body can even tolerate now . The big 5 did not show Candida issues . Should I try removing all high Oxalate foods for a period of time in your opinion ? Thanks so much !

Protein sources contain different quantities of this macronutrient. To plan our diets with healthy protein, we need to understand the best sources to ensure adequate supply to every cell or tissue in our bodies. There are nine amino acids that the body must obtain from food. Studies show that it is the protein package (source) rather than the quantity that matters that matter to our health. Which foods can supply us with the best protein? We get protein from plants, poultry, and animals, as discussed below. Plant Protein Kingdom Plantae offers different types and quantities of healthy protein for daily consumption. These include legumes, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and other plant sources that are healthy and environmentally friendly. Legumes include beans, lentils, peas, soybeans, beans, and peanuts. This plant-based protein contains the essential macronutrient, fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Eat the right quantity of legumes per meal to get the best health benefits. High protein Seeds and nuts include cashews, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, sesame seeds, almonds, chia seeds, macadamia, and hemp seeds, among others. You can set a meal target to guide you through the healthy consumption of nuts and seeds; based on your protein requirements and goals. Whole grains such as rice, oats, quinoa, kamut, teff, millets, buckwheat, and wheat, supply us with B vitamins, carbohydrates, calories, and protein. Unrefined whole grains contain more protein than when refined. Other plant products that consist of some protein quantities include fruits and vegetables, such as broccoli, corn, and Brussels sprouts. Animal and Poultry Protein What animal protein is the best? When consuming animal-based protein, it is fundamental to consider the protein package rather than the quantity. Common animal/poultry-based proteins come from the following. Poultry: chicken, duck, turkey, and eggs. Seafood: fish, mollusks, crustaceans. Dairy foods: milk, yogurt, and cheese. Red meat: unprocessed beef, veal, mutton, goat meat, lamb. Processed meats. What Other Vitamins and Minerals Are We Getting When We Eat Animal Protein In addition to protein supply, animal-derived foods provide us with the following vitamins and minerals. Vitamin B12; is an essential nutrient in the formation of blood, the brain, and the nervous system. Zinc for growth and body maintenance. Selenium; is an essential trace element that aid in various body functions, including the manufacture of active thyroid hormone. Iron, often in heme form; for making hemoglobin, myoglobin, and some hormones. Niacin (vitamin B3), whose deficiency has been linked to increased heart disease risk. Vitamin B6 is essential for energy metabolism and blood formation. Phosphorus is fundamental in the growth and maintenance of the body. Retinol (vitamin A), a fat-soluble vitamin, is fundamental in vision maintenance, reproduction, physical development, and immune function. Creatine; a molecule that supplies our body muscles and brain cells with fast energy, and boosts muscle growth, size, and strength. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is an omega-3 fatty acid that shields the brain against oxidative stress and inflammation, especially in children. Riboflavin; a pro-metabolic B vitamin that aids in the production of energy from ingested food, good eye vision maintenance, and iron uptake. You may consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, to learn more on the best sources of protein.

Today on Biology of Trauma is our final interview with William Walsh as we continue our conversation on copper excess, undermethylation and Pyroluria. We discuss how difficult it is to identify and treat neurochemical imbalances correctly. Many mood disorders are being misdiagnosed as trauma. Environmental stress can exacerbate a neurological condition but ignoring the biological aspect keeps patients suffering longer. During pregnancy a woman's copper levels increase, causing anger, irritability and in many cases, postpartum depression. Untreated, copper levels may never return to normal, permanently changing the disposition of the mother. In children however, violent tendencies develop and are often misdiagnosed as a psychiatric disorder; the treatment of which will never balance the copper levels causing the rage. In cases of undermethylation we now know that it causes low serotonin but the standard protocol is still to administer methyl folates which can dangerously lower serotonin; in extreme cases patients have become so depressed they commit suicide. In each section, you will see how important individualized care is to the recovery of any patient. Medicine is still catching up to the research but the stakes are high and we should all be fighting for personalized protocols. Key Takeaways: [1:45] Copper excess can cause postpartum depression and violent behavior in children [2:20] 95% of postpartum depression cases have high copper levels even long after giving birth [5:50] Gradual doses of Zinc and Vitamin B6 can correct copper levels, ideally before pregnancy [8:00] Copper excess in children can mistakenly be diagnosed and treated as psychiatric issues [11:40] Testing Zinc, copper and ceruloplasmin levels to verify if you have copper excess [14:00] Undermethylation around the world are increasing & what makes it worse [17:20]How methylated your DNA is indicates undermethylation better than the MTHFR gene [22:12] Folate is a strong methylator and will dangerously lower serotonin in a depressed patient [28:10] Pyroluria is a correctable disorder that indicates high oxidative stress [29:35] Normalizing Zinc and B6 will cure Pyroluria, left untreated Schizophrenia may develop [32:40] Violence declines, if a child's neurochemical imbalance is addressed early in life [35:30] Sociopaths have smaller amygdala and cannot recognize pain in people Find more from Dr. Walsh: https://www.walshinstitute.org/ https://www.facebook.com/walshresearchinstitute https://twitter.com/WalshResearch https://traumahealingaccelerated.mykajabi.com/3-most-common-biochemical-imbalances Interested in learning more about the brain?

Gun Control and The Vaule Of Life (8:09) Vitamin B6 Supplements In High Doses Can Calm Anxiety, Depression University of Reading (UK), July 18, 2022 Taking high-dose vitamin B6 supplements may help to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression, a new study reveals. Researchers from the University of Reading in England report that young adults taking a dose 50 times the recommended daily dose reported feeling less anxious and depressed after a month. Vitamin B6 increases the body's production of GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), a chemical that blocks impulses between nerve cells in the brain. Vitamin B6 is found naturally in a variety of foods, including salmon, tuna, chickpeas, and bananas. Vitamin B6 helps the body produce a specific chemical messenger that inhibits impulses in the brain, and this study links this calming effect with reduced anxiety among the participants.” The study provides evidence lacking in previous studies as to what exactly drives the stress-reducing effects of marmite and multivitamins. More than 300 participants took either a placebo or Vitamin B6 or B12 supplements at 50 times the recommended amount – around 70mg. Each participant took one tablet a day with food. Vitamin B12 had little effect compared to the placebo, but B6 showed a statistically reliable difference. The team also detected subtle but harmless changes in visual performance, consistent with controlled levels of brain activity. Health officials in the United Kingdom recommend that people do not take too high a dose – more than 200mg a day – as it can lead to a loss of feeling in the arms and legs. In a few cases, this has become permanent in people who have taken very large doses for several months. “Many foods, including tuna, chickpeas and many fruits and vegetables, contain Vitamin B6. However, the high doses used in this trial suggest that supplements would be necessary to have a positive effect on mood,” Dr. Field continues. “It is important to acknowledge that this research is at an early stage and the effect of Vitamin B6 on anxiety in our study was quite small compared to what you would expect from medication. However, nutrition-based interventions produce far fewer unpleasant side effects than drugs, and so in the future people might prefer them as an intervention. Study Ranks Healthiest ‘Powerhouse' Vegetables, Which is #1? William Paterson University, July 14 Research from William Paterson University attempted to rank fruits and vegetables according to the amount of nutrition within. In all, they list 41 “powerhouse” vegetables and fruits, scoring them according to the presence of 17 nutrients. The produce was scored by the presence of: fiber, potassium, protein, calcium, folate, vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and more. To make the study's “powerhouse” list, the researchers calculated each fruit or vegetable's “nutrient density” score based on the percentage of your daily need for each nutrient the food provides. (The study assumed a 2,000 calorie per day diet and 100 grams of each food.) The scores were capped to ensure that a fruit or vegetable that provides a huge amount of just a single nutrient wouldn't receive a disproportionately high overall score.” So, which earned the top spot? Super easy-to-grow watercress. Watercress scored an even 100, with Chinese cabbage closest behind with a score of 91.99. In third place was chard (89.27), followed by beet greens (87.08), spinach (86.43), and chicory (73.36). Fruits scored lower, with red pepper at the top (41.26), followed by pumpkin (32.23), tomatoes (20.37), and lemons (18.72). Many of these are surprising considering they aren't the “superfruits” we are accustomed to hearing about. But, that's largely because of the nutrients measured in this study. Fruits like blueberries, that are considered healthiest by many, earn that spot because of their antioxidant levels. This study didn't capture the concentration of antioxidants, however. Can listening to the Beatles improve your memory? New research says music just might stir the brain Northeastern University, July 19, 2022 When Paul McCartney wrote "Get Back," he never would have predicted how useful or relevant the song would become for music therapists. The song's refrain—"Get back to where you once belonged"—might as well be a therapist encouraging a dementia patient to recall a distant memory. In new research, Psyche Loui, an associate professor of music, is attempting to do exactly that. Published in Scientific Reports, Loui found that for older adults who listened to some of their favorite music, including The Beatles, connectivity in the brain increased. Specifically, Loui—and her multi-disciplinary team of music therapists, neurologists and geriatric psychiatrists—discovered that music bridged the gap between the brain's auditory system and reward system, the area that governs motivation. The researchers had a group of older adults between the ages of 54 and 89 from the Boston area listen to a playlist for an hour every day for eight weeks and journal about their response to the music afterward. Loui and the team would scan the participants' brains before and after listening in order to measure their neurological response. Playlists were highly personalized and featured a combination of the participants' self-selected songs, which ranged from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen, and a preselected mix of classical pieces, pop and rock songs and new compositions.The most important lesson that we learned from the music therapist was that there is no one-size-fits-all for what kind of music works best," Loui said. What the researchers found was striking: Music was essentially creating an auditory channel directly to the medial prefrontal cortex, the brain's reward center. Notably, the medial prefrontal cortex "is one of the areas to lose its activity and functional connectivity in aging adults, especially in folks with dementia," Loui said. Music that was both familiar and well-liked tended to activate the auditory and reward areas more. However, the music that participants selected themselves provided an even stronger connection between these two areas of the brain. DHA omega-3 linked to ‘significantly improved periodontal outcomes': Harvard data Harvard University, July 14 ,2022 Scientists from Harvard report that supplementation with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) omega-3 may improve periodontal outcomes in people with periodontitis. Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that destroys the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. It is reportedly the second most common disease worldwide, with 30–50% of the US population suffering from it. Data published in the Journal of Dental Research indicated that DHA supplementation was associated with a decreased the average depth of the pockets between the teeth and the gums, and the gingival index, which is used to assess the extent of gum disease. In addition, inflammatory biomarkers in the gum tissue were significantly reduced. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either 2,000 mg per day of DHA or placebo (soy/corn oil) for three months. All of the participants also received 81 mg per day of aspirin. Results showed DHA levels in red blood cell membranes increased between 3.6% to 6.2%, whereas no such increases were observed in the placebo group. In addition to the improvements in pocket depth and gingival index, the researchers reported that levels of the inflammatory biomarkers C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta) decreased significantly in the DHA group. This “Holy Herb' Shows Promise in Treating Alzheimer's Disease Yerba santa may also treat brain swelling in dementia patients Salk Institute, July 14, 2022 A shrub known as Yerba santa, dubbed “holy herb” in Spanish, appears to show promise in treating Alzheimer's disease, researchers say. It has the potential to reduce brain swelling in people with dementia. Native to California, Yerba santa has long been used as a treatment for fevers, headaches, and other common ailments. But researchers at Salk's Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory believe it could be used to treat much more serious health problems. In fact, millions of dementia patients stand to benefit from the natural treatment, they claim. A molecule in the shrub called sterubin – the plant's most active component – could be the key to transforming millions of lives. The team found that sterubin had a significant anti-inflammatory effect on brain cells called microglia, which are involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease, among other ailments. The researchers further found that sterubin effectively removes iron. This is an important discovery, as iron contributes to nerve cell damage in the aging brain and neurodegenerative diseases. Sterubin was found to effectively reduce numerous causes of cell death in the nerve cells. An inflammatory diet correlates with colorectal cancer risk The risk of developing colorectal cancer for individuals that follow a pro-inflammatory diet is two times higher than usual Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (Spain), July 15, 2022 Researchers from the Molecular Mechanisms and Experimental Therapy in Oncology program (Oncobell) of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) and the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) published in Nutrients the results of a multicenter study that unveils a correlation between inflammatory and antioxidant diets and the risk of developing colorectal and breast cancer. "We have observed an association between the risk of developing colorectal cancer and the inflammatory potential of the diet. That is, the participants who followed an inflammatory diet had almost twice the risk of developing colorectal cancer, which is the 4th most frequent cancer worldwide", explains Dr. Mireia Obón. An inflammatory diet is usually characterized by the consumption of refined carbohydrates, red and processed meat, and saturated or trans fats. In an antioxidant diet, the consumption of vegetables, legumes, fruits and nuts predominates. "In this study we have focused on the role of diet, and specifically on its inflammatory and antioxidant capacity, as there is evidence that both chronic inflammation and oxidative stress influence the development of these two types of cancer", says Dr. Víctor Moreno. "Following a pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant diet is a very important risk factor for colon cancer. We should reorient our eating habits towards a Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, nuts, whole grains and healthy oils, such as olive oil and move away from a more pro-inflammatory diet", she argues.

Jonathan Haidt The Coddling of the American Mind Anticoagulant activities of curcumin and its derivative Kyungpook National University (South Korea) Curcumin, a polyphenol responsible for the yellow color of the curry spice turmeric, possesses antiinflammatory, antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activities. However, anticoagulant activities of curcumin have not been studied. The anticoagulant properties of curcumin and its derivative (bisdemethoxycurcumin, BDMC) were determined by monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT) as well as cell-based thrombin and activated factor X (FXa) generation activities. Data showed that curcumin and BDMC prolonged aPTT and PT significantly and inhibited thrombin and FXa activities. They inhibited the generation of thrombin or FXa. In accordance with these anticoagulant activities, curcumin and BDMC showed anticoagulant effect in vivo. Surprisingly, these anticoagulant effects of curcumin were better than those of BDMC indicating that methoxy group in curcumin positively regulated anticoagulant function of curcumin. Therefore, these results suggest that curcumin and BDMC possess antithrombotic activities and daily consumption of the curry spice turmeric might help maintain anticoagulant status. Probiotics may prevent breast cancer: Study Western University (Ontario), June 27, 2022 A new study has found probiotics may prove to be a critical factor in preventing breast cancer. Dr Gregor Reid, the professor of microbiology, immunology and surgery at the Western University in Ontario, Canada, said the bacteria having the potential to abet breast cancer are present in the breasts of cancer patients, while beneficial bacteria are more abundant in healthy breasts. In the study, Reid's PhD student Camilla Urbaniak obtained breast tissues from 58 women, who were undergoing lumpectomies or mastectomies for either benign (13 women) or cancerous (45 women) tumors as well as from 23 healthy women, who had undergone breast reductions or enhancements. Researchers found that women with breast cancer had elevated levels of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis, two bacteria known to induce double-stranded breaks in DNA in HeLa cells, which are cultured human cells. They say the breaks are prone to errors, which can cause cancer to develop. Health-promoting bacteria Lactobacillus and Streptococcus (lactic acid bacteria) were more abundant in women with healthy breasts, both are anti-carcinogenic. 'Mystical' psychedelic compound found in normal brains University of Michigan, June 27, 2022 In the past few years, thrill-seekers from Hollywood, Silicon Valley and beyond have been travelling to South America to take part in so-called Ayahuasca retreats. Their goal: to partake in a brewed concoction made from a vine plant Banisteriopsis caapi, traditionally used by indigenous people for sacred religious ceremonies. Drinkers of Ayahuasca experience short-term hallucinogenic episodes many describe as life-changing. The active ingredient responsible for these psychedelic visions is a molecule called dimethyltryptamine (DMT). For the first time, a team led by Michigan Medicine has discovered the widespread presence of naturally-occurring DMT in the mammalian brain. The finding is the first step toward studying DMT-- and figuring out its role -- within the brains of humans. "DMT is not just in plants, but also can be detected in mammals," says Jimo Borjigin, Ph.D., of the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Her interest in DMT came about accidentally. Before studying the psychedelic, her research focused on melatonin production in the pineal gland. In the seventeenth century, the philosopher Rene Descartes claimed that the pineal gland, a small pinecone-shaped organ located deep in the center of the brain, was the seat of the soul. Since its discovery, the pineal gland, known by some as the third eye, has been shrouded in mystery. Scientists now know it controls the production of melatonin, playing an important role in modulating circadian rhythms, or the body's internal clock. The core idea seems to come from a documentary featuring the work of researcher Rick Strassman, Ph.D. with the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. In the mid-1990s, he conducted an experiment in which human subjects were given DMT by IV injection and interviewed after its effects wore off. In a documentary about the experiment, Strassman claims that he believed the pineal gland makes and secretes DMT. Borjigin sought to discover how and where DMT was synthesized. They found DMT in other parts of the brain, including the neocortex and hippocampus that are important for higher-order brain functions including learning and memory." A paper published in 2018 by researchers in the U.K. purported that DMT simulates the near death experience, wherein people report the sensation of transcending their bodies and entering another realm. Puffing curcumin may blast Alzheimer's Vanderbilt University, Jun 22, 2022 The new delivery method may be more effective than others in getting the compound past the blood-brain barrier and into the brain, where it can fight the plaque that leads to Alzheimer's. Deep breaths of curcumin may be key to fighting Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study from Vanderbilt University. Curcumin, a compound in the spice turmeric, has a demonstrated ability to smash the plaques in the brain that lead to the neuron loss that causes Alzheimer's, according to the study's senior author,Wellington Pham, Ph.D The challenge, however, has been getting the curcumin into the brain. Pham and colleagues at Shiga University of Medical Science in Otsu, Japan, developed a new delivery strategy. They created a curcumin moleculte that could be tracked with an MRI, to be administered as an aerosol through a nebulizer. This method delivers the dose more directly to the brain than taking the compound orally and digesting it. After tests in mice, the team found that “delivery to the cortex and hippocampal areas is more efficient using aerosolized curcumin than intervenous injection in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease,” said Pham. Anti-anxiety medication limits empathetic behavior in rats University of Chicago, June 27, 2022 Rats given midazolam, an anti-anxiety medication, were less likely to free trapped companions because the drug lessened their empathy, according to a new study by University of Chicago neuroscientists. The research, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, validates studies that show rats are emotionally motivated to help other rats in distress. In the latest study, rats treated with midazolam did not open the door to a restrainer device containing a trapped rat, although control rats routinely freed their trapped companions. Midazolam did not interfere with the rats' physical ability to open the restrainer door, however. In fact, when the restrainer device contained chocolate instead of a trapped rat, the test rats routinely opened the door. The findings show that the act of helping others depends on emotional reactions, which are dampened by the anti-anxiety medication. "The rats help each other because they care," said Peggy Mason, PhD, professor of neurobiology at the University of Chicago. "They need to share the affect of the trapped rat in order to help, and that's a fundamental finding that tells us something about how we operate, because we're mammals like rats too." 7 Simple Ways to Unclog Your Arteries Naturally GreenMedInfo, June 23, 2022 Statistically, atherosclerosis (the progressive clogging of the arteries) is the #1 killer on the planet. A complex process, involving autoimmunity, infection, dietary incompatibilities, and many known and unknown factors, it is – despite conventional medical opinion – entirely preventable, and in some cases reversible. Here is the peer-reviewed, published research proving the fact: B Vitamins – yes, something as simple as adding a source of B-complex to your regimen can prevent the juggernaut of heart disease from taking your life prematurely. A doubled-blind, randomized study, published in 2005, in the journal Atherosclerosis found that a simple intervention using 2.5 mg folic acid, 25 mg Vitamin B6, and 0.5mg Vitamin B12 for 1 year, resulted in significant reductions in arterial thickness (as measured by intima media thickeness).[1] Even niacin ]or folic acid alone has been show to have this effect in patients. [Note: Always opt for natural sources of the B-group vitamins, including probiotic supplementation (which produce the entire complement for you), or a whole food extract, versus synthetic or semi-synthetic vitamins which, sadly, predominate on the market today]. Garlic – as we have documented extensively previously, garlic can save your life. It has been found to regress plaque buildup in the arteries, among many other potentially life-saving health benefits. Pomegranate – this super healing fruit has been found to regress plaque buildup in the arteries, as well as being demonstrated to provide dozens of validated health benefits, including replacing the function of the mammalian ovary! Fermented Cabbage – Kimchi, a Korean recipe, which includes fermented cabbage, hot pepper, and various other ingredients, including fermented fish, appears to stall the atherosclerotic process in the animal model. Additionally, strains of good bacteria in kimchi have been found capable of degrading toxic chemicals that can additional bodily harm. L-Arginine: This amino acid is capable of preventing arterial thickening – up to 24% reduction! -- in the animal model. We have done an extensive literature review on arginine supplementation and have found that in over 30 studies demonstrating this fact addition to 150 known health benefits, it is capable of addressing the underlying dysfunction associated with cardiovascular disease: endothelial dysfunction, with no less than 20 studies proving this fact. Curcumin: the primary polyphenol in the Indian spice turmeric known as curcumin has been found to be an excellent cardioprotective, with over 30 studies demonstrating this fact. One study found that curcumin prevented damage to the arteries associated with blockage (neointima formation). Sesame Seed: probably one of the most underappreciated super foods on the planet, sesame seed, which we have shown is as effective as Tylenol for arthritic pain, may be an excellent cardioprotective substance, ideally suited for preventing the progression of atherosclerosis. One animal study found it was capable of preventing atherosclerosis lesion formation.
