Bacterial fats may be the blame for heart disease

December 17, 2017

write about heart disease

Heart disease and fatty clogs in the arteries pretty much go together hand in hand. Research may explain why atherosclerosis is associated with gum disease and heart trouble. There is new evidence that suggests the fatty molecules may be coming from the bacteria in your own mouth, not from what you eat, according to scientists as reported in the Journal of Lipid Research August issue.

Nutrition in Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury

Omega-3 protocol for TBI

 

_____________________________________________________________________________

This excerpt comes from the Dietitians in Functional Medicine group.  It would be a great topic to add to NutriScape if supporting information can be added.

The son of a doc I work with had a traumatic brain injury last year as a result of a truck hitting him head on while he was on his bicycle, they thought he was never going to recover and that he would need adult support to help him dress himself, feed himself for the rest of his life. He is now living in France as a Butterfield bike guide and is going to go back to college this fall. He is totally normal after 6 months. He had the fastest brain recovery the hospital ever saw and the medical team was floored with his progress

This is the regimen his mom (the doc I work with) did for him. Apex Energetics was the brand used (we use that alot here in our clinic)

Brain DHA-2400 mg 4 times a day

Trizomal Glutathione- 5 ml twice a day

Tumero XL Actice – 10 ml twice a day (my personal favorite. I could feel the ‘swelling’ in my brain subside a bit after taking this)

RepairVite GT Plus – 1 scoop a day in 4 oz. of coconut milk

Supermethyl SP (b complex)- 2 capsules a day

Liqua D – 3 drops a day

Strengtia (probiotic) – 2 capsules at bedtime

Lectins

They’ve become the dietary demon du jour: Lectins – a type of protein found in many foods but especially prominent in grains and beans – are being blamed for a variety of health problems, from digestive distress and skin irritations to brain fog, chronic fatigue and inflammation. In his recent book “The Plant Paradox,” Dr. Steven Gundry refers to lectins as “edible enemies,” partly because they help plants defend themselves from insects and other animals, but also because lectins bind to carbohydrates (especially sugars) in the body, “which means they can interrupt messaging between cells or otherwise cause toxic or inflammatory reactions.”

NSF Supplement Certification

December 14, 2017

  How Supplements Become NSF Certified

NSF certifies products against NSF/ANSI 173, the only American National Standard that establishes requirements for the ingredients in dietary and nutritional supplements. There are three main components of the NSF dietary supplements certification program:

  • Label claim review to certify  that what’s on the label is in the bottle
  • Toxicology review to certify product formulation (we don’t test for efficacy)
  • Contaminant review to ensure the product contains no  undeclared ingredients or unacceptable levels of contaminants
