Unusually prolonged vitamin D intoxication after discontinuation of vitamin D: possible role of primary hyperparathyroidism. Taskapan H, Vieth R, Oreopoulos DG. Int Urol Nephrol. 2008;40(3):801-5. Epub 2008 Jun 5. PMID: 18528779 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-008-9404-1

Vitamin D and cancer mini-symposium: the risk of additional vitamin D. Vieth R. Ann Epidemiol. 2009 Jul;19(7):441-5. Epub 2009 Apr 11. Review. PMID: 19364661 Conclusion The results of well-conducted trials of vitamin D lead to the conclusion that the current U.S. National Academy of Sciences-Institute of Medicine upper limit for vitamin D intake of 2000IU per day 1, 37 is excessively conservative. That intake would raise serum 25(OH)D by an average of about 50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL), well within the safe range of serum 25(OH)D concentrations that extends to 500 nmol/L (200 ng/mL). Intake of 4,000IU per day would raise serum 25(OH)D by an average of about 100 nmol/L (40 ng/mL). Even prolonged physiologic-replacement intake of 10,000IU per day of vitamin D3 would pose no known risk of adverse effects in virtually all adults.

Berberine: a plant alkaloid with therapeutic potential for central nervous system disorders. Kulkami SK et al. Phytotherapy Research, Published Online: 8 Dec 2009 This review attempts to discuss the pharmacological basis of the use of berberine in various central nervous system and related disorders. Its protective effect in Alzheimer's, cerebral ischemia, mental depression, schizophrenia and anxiety are highlighted. However, more detailed clinical trials along with a safety assessment of berberine are warranted for positioning the alkaloid in the treatment of neurological disorders.

"Derived from the root of the plant. This supplement is used in traditional Chinese medicine primarily for gastrointestinal complaints, diarrhea, hypertension, bacterial and viral infections. Berberine and berberine-like alkaloids are thought responsible for its activity (1). Laboratory studies indicate that berberine induces morphological changes and internucleosomal DNA fragmentation in hepatoma cancer cells (3). Preliminary data support the hypothesis that huanglian suppresses cyclin B1 protein and causes cell cycle arrest at G2 (5). Huanglian has potent antiangiogenesis activity (6). It also interacts with acetylcholine and muscarinic receptors and inhibits cholinesterase. Possible adverse effects include nausea and vomiting (1). Theoretically huanglian may have additive hypotensive effects with antihypertensive agents. A phase I dose escalation study of huanglian in solid tumors is currently underway at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center based on"

Various factors can pose a risk to you and your baby during pregnancy and it's best to take precautions to avoid these hazards wherever possible. If you're worried that you may be exposed to any physical or environmental dangers (such as toxic substances, radiation, heavy lifting or smoky areas) at work, discuss this with your union representative or employer.

About 540 million people worldwide are affected by back pain at any time. It is predicted that 4 in 10 office workers will undergo lower back pain inflammation. Current non-surgical treatments for back pain conditions are neither effective nor safe. As a non-toxic natural product, curcumin in turmeric has a premium anti-inflammatory profile that reduces back pain and inflammation. Radicular back pain is one of the common causes of lower back pain. Researchers observed that curcumin alleviates radiculopathy.
