Alcohol causes gut damage with bacteria entering the blood stream

Eat whole foods or nuts rich in magnesium, potassium and calcium before drinking alcohol late afternoon.  Always have protein when drinking. Alcohol facilitates aging. Connie How Alcohol Ruins Your Health By Dr Mercola Acutely, alcohol depresses your central nervous system, which slows down the communication between your brain cells. Your limbic system, which controls emotions,Continue reading “Alcohol causes gut damage with bacteria entering the blood stream”

Eating Fish May Reduce Multiple Sclerosis Risk

A new study reveals eating fish regularly and taking daily fish oil supplements may reduce the risk of developing multiple sclerosis. Researchers report high fish intake is associated with a 45% reduced risk of developing MS.

Less melanin in white people leads to less folate for blood production

Less melanin in white leads to less folate and more melanin in dark colored skin people affects Vitamin D and Calcium absorption White people must get sunshine to help in folate absorption (folic acid – important nutrient for the blood ) while dark-colored skin people must eat whole foods rich in Vitamin D3 , calciumContinue reading “Less melanin in white people leads to less folate for blood production”

Calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D3 and K2 and Omega-3s cut risk of cancer

Magnesium acts as an antioxidant against free radical damage of the mitochondria. Magnesium has been called nature’s “calcium channel blocker” because of its ability to prevent coronary artery spasm, arrhythmias, and to reduce blood pressure. “Calcium enters the cells of the heart by way of calcium. A new study in Neurology reveals people whose blood magnesium levels are either too high or two low face an increased risk of developing dementia

Klotho enzyme , calcium, insulin , Vitamin D and Alzheimer

Klotho is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KL gene.[5] This gene encodes a type-I membrane protein that is related to β-glucuronidases. Reduced production of this protein has been observed in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), and this may be one of the factors underlying the degenerative processes (e.g., arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, and skin atrophy) seen inContinue reading “Klotho enzyme , calcium, insulin , Vitamin D and Alzheimer”

Recovering from stroke with proper nutrition

Magnesium. Population-based information suggests that people with low magnesium in their diet may be at greater risk for stroke. Some preliminary scientific evidence suggests that magnesium sulfate may be helpful in the treatment of a stroke or TIA. More research is needed to know for certain if use of this mineral following a stroke or TIA is helpful. Magnesium may lower blood pressure and potentially interact with some heart medicines.

Menopause and Type 2 diabetes

Diabetes and menopause Menopause is the phase of life after your periods have stopped and your estrogen levels decline. The hormones estrogen and progesterone affect how your cells respond to insulin. After menopause, changes in your hormone levels can trigger fluctuations in your blood sugar level. Up you calcium, magnesium, Vitamin B complex, E, D, C, K, zinc andContinue reading “Menopause and Type 2 diabetes”

Watery Diarrhea from virus/bacteria

Acute Diarrhea. Most cases of acute, watery diarrhea are caused byviruses (viral gastroenteritis). The most common ones in children are rotavirus and in adults are norovirus (this is sometimes called “cruise ship diarrhea” due to well publicized epidemics). Bacteria are a common cause of traveler’s diarrhea. By Dr Blanca Ochoa Acute diarrhea is one ofContinue reading “Watery Diarrhea from virus/bacteria”

Calcium in our foods and bodies

The effects of calcium on human cells are specific, meaning that different types of cells respond in different ways. However, in certain circumstances, its action may be more general. Ca2+ ions are one of the most widespread second messengers used in signal transduction. They make their entrance into the cytoplasm either from outside the cellContinue reading “Calcium in our foods and bodies”

Hypocalcemia and Sepsis

Hypocalcemia varies from an asymptomatic biochemical abnormality to a life-threatening disorder, depending on the duration, severity, and rapidity of development. Hypocalcemia is caused by loss of calcium from or insufficient entry of calcium into the circulation. Hypoparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypocalcemia and often develops because of surgery in the central neck requiringContinue reading “Hypocalcemia and Sepsis”

Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care

In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes.[1] In a metabolic pathway, the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate forContinue reading “Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care”

Changes in mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease, an ebook

Abstract With progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), disorders of mineral metabolism appear. The classic sequence of events begins with a deficit of calcitriol synthesis and retention of phosphorus. As a result of this, serum calcium decreases and parathyroid hormone (PTH) is stimulated, producing in the bone the high turnover (HT) bone disease known asContinue reading “Changes in mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease, an ebook”

Neck pain and MTHFR gene , folate , methionine

My co-worker complained of chronic neck pain and her doctor prescribed a med and an iron pill. My mom uses Zyflamend in evening (with calcium and magnesium supplement in 60:40 ratio with Vit D, zinc and C) and iron rich food for lunch and avoided inflammatory foods such as red meat and eggplant.  I suggestedContinue reading “Neck pain and MTHFR gene , folate , methionine”
