shared by Nathan Goodyear on 08 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • High serum rT3 may result from a decreased peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones due to the aging process itself and/or disease and may reflect a catabolic state.

    elevated serum rT3 indicates tissue hypothyroidism; very different than rT3 in the pituitary, where high concentrations accumulate

shared by Nathan Goodyear on 22 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • Per-person costs increased over baseline ($2033) by more than 50% ($1087) after initiation of cardiovascular drug therapy and/or use of a cardiologist, and by 360% ($7352) after a major cardiovascular event. Abnormal renal function increased diabetes treatment costs by 65% ($1337); advanced renal disease, by 195% ($3979); and end-stage renal disease, by 771% ($15,675)

neurotoxic thimerosal vaccinations

shared by Nathan Goodyear on 03 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • These modulatory effects - which most likely involve binding with functional thiol residues - are interwoven with neurotoxic actions of both mercurials.
  • THIM is metabolized in the body to ethyl mercury (EtHg) and subsequently to inorganic mercury forms, which accumulate in tissues of vital organs, including the brain (22). Information about neurochemical and neurotoxic effects of THIM is still limited, but the existing data indicate that in pharmacodynamics and toxicity THIM/EtHg does not differ significantly from methyl mercury (MeHg), which has been studied more extensively, although these compounds differ somewhat in pharmacokinetics (8).
  • Several studies documented that the neurotoxic effects of mercurials involve glutamate-mediated excitotoxicty, due to their ability to inhibit uptake of glutamate in astrocytes, resulting in an increase of the extracellular level of this excitatory amino acid

shared by Nathan Goodyear on 06 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • Recent cumulating evidence suggests that obesity may represent an adverse health consequence of exposure during the critical developmental windows to environmental chemicals disrupting endocrine function. Moreover, exposure to these chemicals seems to play a key role in the development of obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

glucagon-like peptid-1 insulin glucose control diabetes resistance

shared by Nathan Goodyear on 06 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • We concluded that low dosage GLP-1 improves the ability of the beta-cell to secrete insulin in both IGT and NIDDM subjects, but that the ability to sense and respond to subtle changes in plasma glucose is improved in IGT subjects, with only a variable response in NIDDM subjects. Beta-cell dysfunction was improved by GLP-1 infusion, suggesting that early GLP-1 therapy may preserve beta-cell function in subjects with IGT or mild NIDDM.

vitamin C

  • when vitamin C is ingested by mouth, plasma and tissue concentrations are tightly controlled by at least 3 mechanisms in healthy humans: absorption, tissue accumulation, and renal reabsorption
  • 4th mechanism, rate of utilization, may be important in disease
  • Ascorbate administered intravenously has already been tested in a phase I clinical trial, is in wide use by complementary and alternative medicine (integrative medicine) practitioners, and appears to have minimal side effects in patients who are properly screened.
