Always remember to evaluate cortisol in post stress psychiatric disorders.  normallzation of cortisol can resolve psychiatric condition indicating that the underlying etiology is adrenal in nature.

vitamin C inhibits acetylcholinesterase.  This will increase acetylcholine and thus can play a role in Alzheimer's disease.  People with Alzheimers disease have low levels of Vitamin C.  Vitamin C shown to improve memory in Alzheimer's mouse model.

elevated insulin levels associated with disordered Beta-amyloid metabolism and hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins.  Free radicals also play a role as well.

saliva SIgA show to be associated with B cell activity in the GALT.

Startling finding: 100% of all pregnancies in this study were found to have detectable BPA levels.  BPA is a known endocrine disruptor.

Creatine, 15.75 grams daily, increased sprint performance in football players.  The participants of this study were followed for 28 days.

Cordyceps increased Testosterone production in mouse model.

article on upcoming publication of study showing Paxil has estrogenic effect. Likely through receptors from paxil itself or metabolites.

this study suggest, that in some, Hg fillings can contribute to MS.  I believe that detoxification compromise also is required.

Vitamin D's immunomodulating role is an important tool in those with MS. Particularily, it increases T reg cells.

IV vitamin C shown to be beneficial in treatment of renal cell cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and breast cancer without toxic side effects.  The doses provided here were high dose and these are patients that are very unhealthy.

Head to head study of garlic versus atenolol shows that garlic is as good and better, depending on the dose, then atenolol.

Plasma and salivary cortisol and Testosterone levels correlated in small study that looked at post-training hormones changes in athletes.  Cortisol and Testosterone peaked in all experimental groups. 

Combination therapy of d-chiro-inositol and myo-inositol improve metabolic markers of PCOS.

400 mcg Folic acid shown to reduce total cholesteroel and LDL-C in women and men.  Additionally, apoAI is increased.

Study looked at inflammatory markers in RA.  The authors point to high aromatase activity, low androgens, and elevated estrone in synovial fluid as an indicator of a link between aromatase activity and inflammation production through E1 production.  The authors also point to the 16 alpha metabolite pathway as pro-inflammatory as well.  One very interesting point made by the authors is that vitamin D down regulates aromatase activity.  In addition to NK-kappaB inhibition, this may be another mechanism by which vitamin D reduces inflammation.

validation of saliva testing in animals.  The point is saliva testing for Testosterone is valid.

Bisphenol A (BPA) negatively effects estrogen metabolism. Bisphenol A preferentially increases 4OH-estrone which is the most toxic estrogen metabolite.

Cadmium is an endocrine disruptor: binds to estrogen receptors and the androgen receptor. 

Pb reduced NO, increased epinephrine and norepinephrine, increased vascular resistance and RAA system which resulted in hypertension.
