INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE FOR BRAIN COMPLICATIONS FROM HIV and AIDS

Many viruses cross the blood brain barrier and impact brain health. The most damaging virus destroy and harm the brain. There are several stages of a virus as it attacks the body. AIDS and HIV cross into the brain and allow the destruction of neurons and attack the CNS. Symptoms include brain fatigue, memory problems, cognitive impairment, loss of common vocabulary, acting like a child, failure to understand daily issues, severe anger issues, terror, and concentration issues. These symptoms may mimic other serious brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Dementia.

HIV can cause memory loss, concentration issues, brain fog, anxiety, stress, dementia, neuropathy, and cognitive disorders. These symptoms are due to high viral load and may subside with decreases in viral load. Antiviral medicines and other very unusual treatments from the 1940's can treat this problem. Alternative medicine can work if it addresses the viral load. Prayer groups can also help this type of illness.

Support brain function during this phase of the disease with choline, lecithin, fish oil, DMAE, and any medicine, nutritional supplement, or herbal product that can interfere with viral replication and cross the blood brain barrier. Green tea, ashwaganda, and astragulus slow and interfere with viral replication. Multiple Chinese Patent Herbal formulas work on the heat produced in the blood by the virus. This causes interference with viral replication. There will be several Chinese patent formulas which can create this action. Pharmaceutical grade supplements may be found at Life Extension Foundation.

Stem Cell Therapy Reverses Lung Disease

Stem cell therapy is big business. Florida is the top growth area for anti-aging clinics and new research. It appears to be the state most dedicated to the establishment of this new medical treatment. These are widely found in south Florida. The aging Florida crowd has money to fund spending new healthcare products.

Several clinics are associated with research facilities located outside of America in the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Switzerland. Cutting edge results of anti-aging medicine reverse mental and physical declines associated with aging of past generations. Looking and feeling better often impact other life choices.

Florida clinics specializing in lung disease treat all types of lung disease including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, COPD, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, interstitial lung disease, severely punctured lungs, trauma injuries in the lung area, and chronic low lung function due to smoke inhalation from fire or paint fumes. Local stem cells injections can improve lung function, restore bronchi, and increase oxygenation in the body. It may be possible to recreate missing areas of the lung in the future. These modern medical miracles require multiple treatments and benefit from good nutritional and vitamin protocols.

There is a wonderful lung clinic in Sarasota, The Trinity Stem Cell Institute in Odessa is another great location for this medical miracle. Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine offers stem cell treatment for spine and skeletal injuries. Stemedix, Inc. is a Florida-based Stem Cell Therapy center in St Petersburg which treats multiple sclerosis with this therapy.

All injections must be screened for factors such as blood type and diseases. Some clinics will include other medications in the injections like growth factors. It is very important to exclude stem cell injections which do not match the patient’s blood type. Adult stem cells can be obtained from the patient’s fat cells. These are washed and treated for re-injection into the patient. They are not as effective as embryonic cells.

Umbilical cords and cord blood can provide embryonic stem cells without the need for a fetus. It is also important to continue to take medications for underlying diseases and inform the doctor of any prescribed or recreational drugs take by the patient in the preceding thirty-day period.

It is very important for patients to refrain from using recreational drugs, drinking, or smoking to allow the cell colony to grow and differentiate into the appropriate organ or tissue. Choose the clinic by its specialty and stay away from one size fits all clinics. Ask about the number of patients successfully treated by the doctor and/or clinic.

Quantum Orthomolecular Medicine is based upon the work of Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling. Amino acid therapy transforms health problems and starts anti-aging strategy. Each amino acid acts as a bio-chemical agent to heal diseases and reverse medical problems. Life Extension Foundation of Miami is a great source of pharmaceutical amino acids.

Saffron Improves Depression and Headaches

Quantum Brain Healing uses saffron for many medical uses involved in brain health. Saffron is used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Saffron acts as a stimulant. It is an antioxidant. It inhibits platelet aggregation and helps prevent arteriosclerosis. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases circulation. Saffron prevents cancer and prevents and slows tumor formation. Saffron prevents mutation in DNA. This herb is a neuroprotectant.

It is important to try to remove heavy metal toxins before taking this herb if you are using it to prevent cancer or slow tumor growth. It is thought by some in the field of medicine that there are heavy metals in the nucleus of cancer cells. Removal of heavy metals will speed recovery in most diseases. Detoxification will increase significantly the results of most orthomolecular medicine treatment protocols.

Saffron is an anti-spasmodic and may help prevent irregular brain wave activity caused by head injury and brain trauma. This anti-spasmodic effect might be beneficial in brain diseases characterized by tics. Be careful about using Saffron if you are taking blood thinners, drinking large quantities of green tea, or taking fish oil supplements. This is not inexpensive, but it works very well in many people.

Saffron can help treat headaches and depression that arise from insufficient blood circulation in the brain. These headaches and depression often benefit from yoga and mild exercise. Saffron is useful for alcoholism. The addition of several amino acids will be necessary for the treatment of alcoholism. Milk thistle should be included in the protocol for the alcohol withdrawal. Two additional herbs for liver health should added as the patient progressed through the treatment.

Anxiety, Nervousness, and Agoraphobia Improve with KAVA

Quantum Brain Healing uses Kava Kava to sedate the overactive brain. Kava acts on the limbic system and it affects several neurotransmitters including GABA and noradrenalin. The limbic area of the brain is key to your emotions of sadness, fear, and anger.

Kava has anticonvulsant effects. It is an anti-inflammatory and can be considered a secondary level anti-aging herb. It can act as a muscle relaxant on the skeletal muscles and Central Nervous System. Kava is an anxiolytic and treats anxiety. Kava can enhance cognitive thinking skills and improve reaction time. It is important not to overuse this herb.

It may be an adaptogen due to its slight ability to elevate mood and sedate. Frequently herbs that can produce two opposing actions depending upon what is needed by the body are considered adaptogens. Kava is associated with lower levels of leukemia and ovarian cancer by a study at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. It is important to note that there are reports of severe liver toxicity by a few on this herb. This may be due to problems with how it is made or other substances that the patients are consuming while on this herb.

Kava can be used to treat anxiety, nervousness, stress, and insomnia. These conditions are common in many people. The slight sedating effect of Kava may resolve anxiety and stress. This is related to the process of reversing insomnia. Kava treats agoraphobia and may be tied to its ability to affect the limbic area of the brain.

Kava must be supported with vitamins, minerals, and high levels of antioxidants. A break should be taken from this herb on a regular basis. Use a wide variety of organic vegetables and fruits. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, nicotine, and recreational drugs when taking Kava. Do not do anything to overload the liver. A regular liver detoxification is a good idea for anyone taking this herb.

This is not recommended for those with Parkinson’s, liver disease, lung disease, depression, or bipolar disease. Kava has negative interactions with acetazolamide, amiloride, furosemide or with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as benazepril, captopril, lisinopril, quinapril, ramipril, levodopa-based medication, alcohol, Xanax, barbiturates, or other mood-altering drugs. It is contra-indicated in these cases.

Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD

Quantum Brain Healing can be used for traumatic brain injury patients having terrible memories which continue for decades. Quantum Brain Healing is the use of CAM (complementary alternative medicine) and orthomolecular medicine for a directed change in brain chemistry. Traumatic brain injury may occur in a sports injury like professional football or baseball. It may also be a common problem associated with serious automobile accidents or falling from a roof when removing Christmas lights. This trauma can also occur for victims of violent crimes at home or the office.

PTSD and traumatic brain injury patients experience memory impairment, including not remembering aspects of the trauma or entire events. Their trauma is stored on a cellular level and their memory does not reduce emotional trauma or physical symptoms. Their brain dysfunction impairs the amygdala and hippocampus areas until it has been repaired.

Several neurotransmitters are involved in PTSD or traumatic brain injury, including serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suffers damage after serious brain injury or PTSD. The neurotransmitter receptors are overactive. There may be higher levels of noradrenaline and increased autonomic activity. Serotonin is involved in stress-induced corticosteroid release. Small problems result in increased noradrenaline levels.

Sexual dysfunction is often found in those suffering from traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Horny Goat Weed and Deer Antler herbal products may be useful to balance hormone levels and endocrine levels for sexual dysfunction in men. This will take from four to twelve weeks. Both herbs increase testosterone and alter serotonin levels. Amino acids can also quickly alter neurotransmitter levels to help stabilize this disorder.

Traumatic brain injury and PTSD patients experiencing stress may have increased response to dopamine agonists like cocaine. They may have symptoms of hyper-vigilance and even paranoia that are likely to be mediated by the dopamine system. This occurs through the body’s production of opioids during trauma in order to act as “internal pain-killers”. Their nervous system is overactive and requires a less intense shock to cause associated trauma. Opioid substance abuse is often reported by patients with PTSD. The opioid blocker naloxone may reverse the analgesia induced by stress.

Cortisol levels seem unstable in these patients and low cortisol levels may occur. This can be caused by hyper-suppression of cortisol. PTSD and traumatic brain injury may cause increased secretion of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). This type of stress on the body seriously alters hormone and neurotransmitter levels. After the brain is balanced for a significant period, the frequency of traumatic memories ill diminish.

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) for this patient may require amino acids, herbs, vitamins, scalp acupuncture, and antioxidants. These products may be combined into an IV for faster results.

International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO)

Stem cells are big business. The investment opportunity of our lifetime. A change in medicine driving new cures and life extension arrived for the benefit of many. This disease remedy will reverse the history of Down syndrome, incurable disease, and heart failure. Stem cells can be used to improve heart function, cure diabetes, lung disease, and Parkinson’s, recreate missing tissue, regenerate knees and ankles, build teeth, and restore vision to 20/20.

There is a wide range of specialties in the new field of stem cells. It is firmly inside the anti-aging area of medicine and health. The price range is wide. The normal client requires great nutrition, along with total abstaining from recreational drug use and alcohol for the best patient outcomes. There is not a long history of this field of medicine. Many clinical trials fail that have unseen impacts from poor food choices, lack of appropriate vitamins, and the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and recreational drugs.

Move investment money into this area and reduce pharmaceutical monthly use as a long-term strategy for the US Health department to move forward into an area which will restore the US technical lead in healthcare.

Tip.us published an article included below to delve into the details of stem cells as the industry grows. Venture capital will flock into this area. Investments must be in companies with medical doctors and clinical trials to prevent abuse of stem cells and misuse of the products by under-educated clinics without blood typing, blood factor, and antigen testing for the stem cells. This is a key area resulting in failure of the technology, product, and surgical technique.

“International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO) specializes in the therapeutic applications of human parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSCs) and the development and commercialization of cell-based research and cosmetic products. The company was first to perfect the natural phenomenon of parthenogenesis, which utilizes unfertilized human eggs to create hpSCs. These stem cells, created in a particular form called HLA homozygous, can be immune-matched to millions of people regardless of sex or racial background, with minimal expectation of immune rejection after transplantation.

hpSCs are as pluripotent as embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and have significant therapeutic potential but their creation does not involve the destruction of a viable human embryo — thus sidestepping the controversy and ethical dilemmas associated with the use of human embryonic stem cells. Different from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSs), hpSCs do not involve manipulation of gene expression back to a less differentiated stage — a practice that may become a safety or regulatory obstacle in clinical applications.

A relatively small number of hpSC lines can offer the potential of producing the first true stem cell bank, UniStemCell, which ISCO intends to create as a means of serving populations across the globe. The company’s scientists are currently focused on using hpSC to treat severe diseases of the eye, nervous system, and liver, for which cell therapy has been clinically proven but is limited due to the unavailability of safe human cells.

In addition to its therapeutic focus, ISCO also provides two revenue streams. Firstly through its subsidiary Lifeline Cell Technology, specialized cells and growth media for biological research around the world, and secondly its subsidiary Lifeline Skin Care, the company manufactures and sells anti-aging skincare products utilizing an extract from the hpSC and by leveraging the latest discoveries in the fields of stem cell biology, nanotechnology, and skin cream formulation technology.”

Treat Depression with 5-HTP and SAME

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) uses amino acids to improve brain chemistry and balance neurotransmitter levels. The amino acids used include 5-HTP, SAME, GABA, and Tyrosine. Amino acids may have to be combined for many people, while other people may be able to use a single amino acid to turn around their depression.

It is extremely important to understand that smoking, recreational drugs, and alcohol contribute to significant increases in depression. Cigarette smokers are 41% more likely to suffer from depression than non-smokers. Smoking a pipe or cigar also increases depression. Smoking cessation of all types is important to resolving depression. The increased carbon monoxide levels from cigarette smoking probably impact the increased depression levels.

Depression can often be abated within a two to four week period by taking 5-HTP at doses of 50–300 mg three times a day. The dosage is dependent on weight, size, age, and physical condition. The 5-HTP increases the body’s serotonin level. 5-HTP may be taken with food. Any insomnia associated with the depression may improve significantly. 5HTP may not work for everyone and may cause slight nausea. Do not use 5HTP in combination with drugs that increase serotonin (SRRI’s).

SAME is another amino acid that will work alone for many people to resolve depression within two to three weeks. Try taking 400 mg of SAME before bed on an empty stomach as an effective way to resolve depression. This amino acid should be taken for four to six weeks before deciding on its effectiveness.

A food based multivitamin should be taken on a daily basis. One to two cups of Earl Gray tea may help many people with depression. It contains bergamot. Try including salmon into your diet twice a week and eating walnuts and almonds as snacks.

Hawthorn Prevents Stress and Treats Alzheimer’s

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) uses vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and nutritional supplements to treat disease found in the brain. The supplements used to treat the brain diseases are often not found in the typical diet. Hawthorn is a small berry or fruit that is commonly used to treat heart conditions and has been used for centuries. Hawthorn is also used to several serious brain diseases. This herb can be taken as a tea or a capsule supplement.

If there is heart disease, a food based vitamin and CoQ10 supplement should be added on a daily basis. The Quantum Brain Therapy uses Hawthorn and several amino acids to impact the brain’s circulation, oxygenation levels, and any inflammation.

Hawthorn can cross the blood-brain barrier and affect the brain directly in many ways. These include increasing blood circulation, lowering blood pressure, decreasing cholesterol, antibiotic to decrease bacteria, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Many diseases are improved with this herb including ADHD, stress, memory loss, arteriosclerosis, ischemia, stroke, and Alzheimer’s.

Hawthorn’s ability to reduce cholesterol is connected to its ability to impact arteriosclerosis. A person with brain and heart disease should include mild exercise or a walking plan for an overall strategy to prevent further problems. This person should also take steps to exclude saturated fats from their diet and include unsaturated fats. Salmon is also a great food to include for this person.

It is possible that many brain diseases begin when there are heart problems. The damaged heart’s failure to properly oxygenate the brain can cause many problems. A heart condition leads to poor circulation, which may increase the amyloid protein buildup in the brain. The other possibility is that impaired circulation increases stress and the increased stress causes the other brain diseases to manifest.

Do not use this herb during pregnancy.

Use CAM to Reverse Drug Addiction

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) utilizes many therapies for addiction including amino acid therapy, therapeutic vitamins and minerals, acupuncture, laser therapy, EFT, and herbal formulas. Detoxification is needed before nutritional therapies are used for most people.

There are vaccines on the horizon that may help many with substance abuse. Cambridge-based Xenova Group plc is developing therapeutic vaccines for cocaine and nicotine addiction. These vaccines are designed to prime the immune system to produce anti-cocaine or anti-nicotine antibodies. The addictive substance binds to the antibodies after entering the bloodstream. The resulting large complex cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, so the usually pleasurable stimulus is absent or reduced. These vaccines will help those who wish to stop using cocaine or nicotine and may be used to prevent addiction.

When attempting substance abuse withdrawal, the use of amino acid supplements is key to stabilize the brain’s neurological function as it is attacked by drugs, alcohol, shopping, computer, porn, and sex. Elimination of addiction destabilizes several key brain functions. Certain DNA types are predisposed to substance abuse problems. Look at your family history to determine these issues.

Chemical support through pharmacology, herbs, nutritional supplements, amino acids, minerals, vitamins or nootropics will produce an improved withdrawal outcomes and better long-term remission rates. The long-term amino acid therapy and stress reducing strategies are needed for successful resolution of addiction. Yoga or Tai Chi are both great stress reducers and are great ways to stabilize your brain.

Quantum Brain Healing is a book on using alternative medicine, nutritional therapies, vitamins, amino acid therapy to treat, heal, and prevent many brain diseases. It also shows how to protect the brain from aging, cognitive disorders, and learning disorders. Modern anti-aging tips for protecting memory and working longer. It offers help in eliminating addictions and depression. This 264 page paperback book published by SpeedyReads.com offers new solutions for brain illness.

Fight Anti-Aging with Schisandra

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) uses Schisandra to enhance health and wellness in many ways. The herb improves the brain and should be accompanied by several antioxidants. Schisandra is an adaptogenic herb that can stimulate and sedate depending upon what the body needs. Schisandra can reduce glucose levels in the brain and is an anti-inflammatory.

It should be considered an anti-aging herb because high glucose levels lead to inflammation in the brain and body and are among the most age-accelerating actions. This herb balances neurotransmitters and hormones in the body. Schisandra can be used as a tonic to increase strength and endurance in older people.

Its adaptogenic action is beneficial for treating stress. This adaptogenic herb can also relieve fatigue and exhaustion. Schisandra improves memory, focus, concentration, irritability, and insomnia. It has been used to treat neurosis and anxiety. It can be useful in treating a mild case of depression.

Schisandra increases the speed of nerve impulses and it may benefit many diseases with impaired nerve function like MS, ALS, or Parkinson’s. It improves the overall function level of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Try this herb to improve neurasthenia, diabetic neuropathy, and peripheral neuropathy. Schisandra improves the communication between the peripheral nerves and the CNS.

The glucose reduction caused by this herb may be one of the ways nerve impulses are improved as glycation and inflammation throughout the body are reduced. This herb should be used for two to three months for this purpose.

This herb protects the brain by protecting the kidney and liver. The healthy liver removes toxins from the body and this lowers the toxic load throughout the body.

Gastrodia Helps Huntington’s

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) uses the herb Gastrodia to help the brain along. This herb is also known as Tian Ma in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is safe in low doses for young children and infants. It can be safely used with many other herbs. It is used in orthomolecular medicine with high doses of vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements to treat very complex diseases.

Gastrodia can be used for treating Huntington’s disease. It has an anti-inflammatory effect which may be how it prevents seizures. Allow one to four weeks prior to adjusting the dosage of this herb in Huntington’s.

Huntington’s disease requires very high levels of vitamins and branched amino acids to support the overall health. An unrefined organic diet works best for this type of person. Use adequate levels of unsaturated fatty acids to facilitate recovery and treatment of any brain disease.

This herb is used to protect the brain and keep brain cells from dying. It enhances the mitochondria’s ability to produce energy. It has a sedative effect. Gastrodia lowers blood pressure and can be used to treat hypertensive headaches. It is also able to treat migraine headaches. The herb is safe to use as a preventative for those experiencing several migraine headaches during one week.

Gastrodia protects the brain from seizures and convulsions. This herb can be taken by those suffering from non-defined seizures and some types of epilepsy.

Gastrodia can be used for acute of chronic infantile convulsions and seizures. This has to be done under the care of a healthcare professional and very closely followed by changes in sleep patterns, seizure behavior patterns, the frequency of seizures or convulsions, how long the seizures last, and eating patterns of the child.

If the seizures occur less frequently and last for a longer time period, this herb should be discontinued immediately. When the seizures drastically shorten in time and occur slightly more often, the dosage of the herb may need to be adjusted. For extremely difficult diseases, the exact dosage of the herb may be difficult to find.

Music Therapy and Tibetan Singing Bowls

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) relies on a large group of techniques and supplements. The options include music, music therapy, singing, healing with crystal bowls and Tibetan Bowls. This is used to extend life in difficult cases of cancer.

For some people, this is not enough and adjunct therapies will be used in mass for very hard cases. Metatones is auditory vibrational energy therapy to address problems for ADD, ADHD, epilepsy, learning disabilities, autism, addiction, depression, dyslexia, head trauma, insomnia, PTSD, stroke, MS and Alzheimer’s. The brain can be balanced with amino acids to assist with neurotransmitter rebalancing and auditory therapy can also indirectly affect neurotransmitter levels.

Music therapy, Acutonics, singing, and Tibetan singing bowls are simpler versions of the concept of using music or sound vibrations to heal. Hemi-Sync Method is a more sophisticated version of vibrational sound therapy developed by Dr. Robert Monroe. The Monroe Institute is now run by Skip Attwater. The brain can be balanced by auditory therapy. The sounds are played on a CD and listened to with headphones. Brainwave activity is altered by the sound vibration as it is heard. There are several types of brainwaves and your brain may not experience proper brainwave activity. This adjusts the brainwave activity.

Research shows that Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s brains have decidedly different brainwaves than the normal brain. Hemi-Sync works to entrain the brain into the proper brainwave activity for health. Vibrational energy healing is based on the tenant that disease stems from a lack of proper resonance. This is relatively inexpensive for alternative medicine because you can play the CD’s as many times as you need. It is fairly unusual, but music therapy and sound therapy have many successful results. Most forms of medicine believe that disease is rooted in a lack of balance.

Health will return when the cell is put into vibrational balance. It seems that music therapy may be one more way in which to influence and change neurotransmitter levels. Classical music and baroque music are the best music for balancing the brain. Music therapy with a harp has been used to treat MS. Learning to play the piano or guitar can help balance the brain of a child with ADD or ADHD. Singing upbeat songs is a great way for a child to improve their depression. Stroke patients that are unable to speak may be able to hum along with music.

This concept is integrated into an overall health and medical program which includes detoxification of chemicals, toxins, and pesticides for many patients. After the toxins are removed, a healthy diet of organic vegetables and fruits will help people regain health quickly. Food-based multivitamins are often used for severely ill patients.

Improve Autism by Treating Food Allergies

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) treats autism with alternative therapy and dietary change. This concept addresses food allergies and detoxification among other issues. There are many allegations attempting to tie the autism spectrum syndrome to vaccines in young children as the diagnosis usually occurs when the children are young.

This may be the case, or the vaccine may trigger disease in a child with an inadequate immune system. Deficient immune systems react to many triggers including chemicals, pollutants, foods, dyes, medications, and environmental allergens. One-third of autistic children suffer from epilepsy. Emotional trauma for a child with a compromised immune system may provide the mechanism for autism symptoms.

There may be dietary issues involved in autism. Immune system deficiencies may enable relatively safe substances to produce large negative events in patients. There are several theories which evolve from the basis that much disease is a result of allergies. After the allergies are cleared, the disease or symptoms disappear. NAET incorporates this concept into its method of healing to heal the body after clearing allergens.

The Rotation Diet, Elimination Diet, Gluten Free Diet, and Casein Free Diet are other examples of reducing food allergies. The gut may need probiotics and yogurt for improved bacterial health.

Every autistic child should have allergy tests checked and diagnostic testing for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Autistic children are often deficient in selenium, lithium, and cholesterol. Vitamins and nutritional supplements should commence after the test results are in hand. Quantum Brain Healing monitors progress with food allergies to see how quickly symptoms diminish. Many children using NAET are much better after one year of treatments.

Herbal Help for HIV and AIDS

There are many herbal remedies which can be used to treat HIV and AIDS. Two affordable herbs which can be purchased easily in capsule form are Cordyceps and Astragulus.

Cordyceps is a fungus that grows on caterpillar larvae, Hepialus armoricanus Oberthuer. It is an ancient Chinese medical tonic that is commonly used to support the body and kidneys. It has been used for a wide range of conditions including increasing immune function, building the blood, treating fatigue and sexual dysfunction. The allopathic mechanisms of Cordyceps include increasing the number of T helper cells, prolonging the survival of lymphocytes, enhancing TNF-alpha and interleukin 1 production, and increasing the activity of natural killer cells. It functions an adaptogen or immune stimulant.

The chemical components of cordyceps include amino acids, sterols, saccharides, nucleosides, fatty acids, and polyamines. Cordyceps should not be consumed by those with myelogenous cancer.

Astragulus or Huang Qi is an ancient Chinese herb is used to balance the body, strengthen the blood, increase energy levels, and support the lung, spleen, and kidney functions. It functions as an anti-viral, antibacterial, and diuretic. This can lower glucose levels. Astragalus enhances respiratory function and helps prevent lung infections. The herb is an immune enhancer and adaptogen which can be used on a long-term basis without serious side effects for most people.

It is great for rebuilding the immune system of cancer patients after the conclusion of radiation or chemotherapy. It is also wonderful to prevent the onset of the flu and cold season . Its chemical components include flavonoids, amino acids, and polyphenols.These products may be purchased at Vitamin Shoppe, Central Market, and Whole Foods grocery stores or most local vitamin stores.

FDA Warnings on Sodium Glucose Inhibitor Diabetes Medications

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor drugs are a new class of diabetes treatment commonly referred to as sodium-glucose inhibitors. There are many drugs found in this category. This new drug class facilitates glucose re-absorption in the kidneys and increases excretion of blood glucose in the patient’s urine.

Weight loss and reversing hypoglycemia are common in diabetic patients using sodium glucose inhibitors. They may also reduce blood pressure. This class of diabetes medicine received a warning from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is taken once daily to lower AC1 or blood sugar levels. Sodium-glucose inhibitor drugs are manufactured by many pharmacology companies.

This new type of medicine works well for many diabetics. This could be younger and healthier patients. The age and general health of the patient influence the number and type of negative reactions.
