Obese 80% Chance Of Alzheimer's

DEADLY DEMENTIA: A recent study indicates a clear connection between obesity and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It’s also the leading cause of death among the elderly in the United States. With no known cure, Alzheimer’s currently afflicts about 5 million people. Now it appears that weight management may play a significant role in keeping Alzheimer’s at bay.

Don’t Let Your BMI Go to Waist

People with a high body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference were more likely to develop dementia than those with a healthy BMI or waist size.

Treat Obesity, Prevent Dementia

“While more studies are needed to determine optimal weight and biological mechanisms associated with obesity and dementia, these findings could potentially decrease the number of people diagnosed with dementia and lead to an overall better quality of life.” (Sun-Sentinel.com, 5/13/08)

Is Cutting The Vagus Nerve The Answer To Weight Loss?

Last year, 200,000 Americans had weight loss surgery and while gastric bypass surgery can significantly reduce weight, the surgery comes with risks.

Now a procedure that was once commonly used to treat ulcers is being tested as a safe alternative to weight loss surgery.

Action News reporter Kimberly Tere has the details.

The vagus nerve controls your feeling of hunger.

Some even say every single thing the vagus nerve does is designed to make you gain weight.

That is why San Francisco Doctor Robert Lustig is testing laparoscopic vagotomy, a surgery in which the vagus nerve is cut.

"Every patient in the study said their hunger was gone, just gone. One comment I got from one patient was this is the first time in her life that she was not a prisoner to food," said Dr. Lustig.

While hunger was curbed, Dr. Lustig says they kept eating out of stress or habit.

Aspirin-like Compounds Increase Insulin Secretion In Otherwise Healthy Obese People

ScienceDaily (Apr. 30, 2008) — Aspirin-like compounds (salicylates) can claim another health benefit: increasing the amount of insulin produced by otherwise healthy obese people. Obesity is associated with insulin resistance, the first step toward type 2 diabetes.

Aspirin and other salicylates are known to reduce blood glucose in diabetic patients. New research accepted for publication in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism reveals a similar beneficial effect among obese individuals by increasing the amount of insulin secreted into the bloodstream.

The researchers found that administration of triflusal led to decreased fasting serum glucose. Contrary to their expectations, insulin sensitivity did not significantly change during the trial. Insulin secretion, however, significantly increased in relation to the dose size.

Two men dead and 48 sick after taking impotence drug in Hong Kong

Hong Kong - Two Hong Kong men have died and 48 have fallen sick after taking unregistered drugs claiming to cure impotence over the last six months, health officials revealed Wednesday.

The men, aged between 44 and 86, all became ill with low blood sugar after taking pills said to treat erectile dysfunction function between December 2007 and March this year.

All sought help from hospital where two died. Another two men still remain in hospital.

A Department of Health spokesperson said some of the men admitted to taking pills claiming to treat erectile dysfunction which they had bought from the mainland border city of Shenzhen, and in Yuen Long and Wan Chai in Hong Kong.

Laboratory tests on the drug showed the presence of unregistered ingredients including a medication called glibenclamide which is used for lowering blood sugar in diabetics.

The pills were also found to include sildenafil, the main active ingredient in Viagra.

PAD is a common disease that occurs when arteries in the legs become narrowed by fatty deposits, causing pain and numbness and impairing the ability to walk. PAD affects about eight million Americans and is associated with significant disease and death, according to the American Heart Association.

People obtain vitamin D by making it themselves (through skin exposure to sunlight), by ingesting foods such as fish and fortified dairy products that contain vitamin D, or by taking dietary supplements. Adequate vitamin D levels are necessary for bone health, but scientists are only beginning to explore vitamin D's connection to cardiovascular disease.

When the researchers adjusted for age, sex, race and co-existing health problems, they found that PAD was 64 percent more common in the group with the lowest vitamin D levels compared with the group with the highest levels. For each 10 ng/mL drop in vitamin D level, the risk for PAD increased by 29 percent.

DASH Dietary Approach In Women Reduces Risk Of Heart Disease

Women who ate foods recommended by a well-known diet for reducing high blood pressure had a lower risk of heart disease and stroke than women whose diets were normal, a new study has found.

Researchers from Simmons College, Boston, followed more than 88,000 healthy women for almost 25 years. The study found that women in the top 20 percent of the DASH score were 24 percent less likely to have heart disease and 18 percent less likely to have a stroke than the women who scored in the bottom 20 percent of the DASH score.

The DASH diet favors fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk and plant-based protein over meat. Previous research has shown this kind of diet can help prevent high blood pressure and cholesterol, which both can lead to heart attacks.

Hypertension also contributes to other serious and potentially life-threatening conditions, including heart attack, heart failure and kidney disease.

Studies: Inexpensive blood pressure drugs can lower risks

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Two big studies offer good news to people with high blood pressure, finding that novel ways to use cheap drugs already on the market can lower their risk of heart attacks, stroke and death -- even if they are very old.

More than 70 million Americans have high blood pressure -- readings of 140 over 90 or more -- and only a third have it well controlled by medicines. Guidelines advise starting on one, usually a "water pill," and adding others as needed.

He led a study testing a single daily pill combining a diuretic and the ACE inhibitor benazepril versus a daily pill containing benazepril and a calcium channel blocker, amlodipine. ACE inhibitors dilate blood vessels to lower pressure. Calcium channel blockers do the same in a different way.

Those people had about 20 percent fewer heart-related problems or strokes -- 526 among the 5,713 in this group versus 650 events among the 5,732 others, Jamerson said.

Rare genetic variants have big impact on blood pressure

Yale University researchers report in the journal Nature Genetics that they have discovered that rare genetic variants can be associated with a dramatically lower risk of developing high blood pressure in the general population.

The insight that rare mutations may collectively play a large part in the development of common yet complex diseases such as hypertension also has implications for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as diabetes and schizophrenia.

Lifton said the new study underscores the importance of sequencing the genome of many individuals in order to discover disease-causing mutations.

Added Levy, "We may have to march down the field from gene to gene to identify other genes where rare variants are contributing to blood pressure variations."

A detailed family medical history allows you and your doctors to:

Observe patterns and identify conditions and risks before they affect you or your families.

Prepare, plan or take steps to avoid these conditions.

Decide what test may be needed to come to a diagnosis.

Identify other family members who may be at risk and calculate their chance of passing certain diseases to their children.

Save a copy and give one to your doctor. Every Thanksgiving update the document as needed. It’s worth taking the time to learn more about your relatives’ health. As former U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona said: “The bottom line is that knowing your family history can save your life.”

Did your mother have diabetes? Did your father suffer from heart disease? Was there an aunt who was depressed? A brother who has cancer? You and your doctor need to know these things. We know that staying well involves more than just visits to the doctor’s office –

Reversing Diabetes in 2 Weeks

Visit Raw For 30 Days, buy the dvd and support the project in getting the word out about reversing diabetes (at the very least).

by the fourth day they were off insulin completely
by the end of the 30 days their blood sugar had stabilized
and they have effectively reversed their diabetes

As you can tell from the recent videos, I'm spending my day watching health related content. David Wolfe was a recent speaker at Harv Eker's Extreme Health event and shares some of his thoughts on raw foods here in this video.

This is a trailer of a movie called Raw For 30 Days which I've never heard about, but I'm sure David Wolfe is involved.

At the end of the trailer of raw for 30 days, viewers are told that Woody Harrelson would be contributing an interview for the full length movie. Here is a clip of that interview with Woody.

A great quote from one of the participants after having reversed diabetes herself was:

A daily supplement of cod liver oil can ease the pain of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and reduce the need for drugs, a new study suggests.

The study, by researchers at Dundee University in Scotland showed that taking 10g of cod liver oil a day can reduce the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by 30%. Many patients with RA take NSAIDs such as ibuprofen. However, high doses have been linked to adverse side-effects such as increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and stomach bleeding.

Researchers looked at 97 patients with RA who took NSAIDs for their condition. Some were given 10g of cod liver oil daily and others were given a dummy pill. After 12 weeks their NSAIDs were gradually reduced.

In the cod liver oil group 39% were able to reduce their daily dose of NSAIDs compared with 10% taking the placebo. This is the third study by researchers in Dundee to show that taking cod liver oil can cut the use of NSAIDs.
