Dear Colleagues:
I hope you all are doing well. I just got to spend some time talking nutrition to some top major league baseball prospects. At this time most are taking nothing due to the steroid scare, but are very open to taking supplements. It definitely is hard to guess when you cannot muscle test all of these men but as a rule I would think a good multi like Basic Nutrients III, Mediclear, L-Carnitine and an EFA might be a good place to start. We will be sending these off to a player who may end up a starter on the Cubs next year who my son and I are friends with.
NEW PRODUCTS
Perfusia-SR (Thorne Research 1-800-228-1966)- This is a new product by Thorne which is a time released L-arginine. It stimulates the production of nitric oxide by the endothelial cells that line the arteries. Nitric oxide is protective against athlerosclerosis, helps lower blood pressure and should be considered on all cardiac patients. It also helps blood fluidity, thus possibly helping erectile dysfunction. For arginine to work optimally you need a steady supply which in terms of regular supplemental arginine means taking it every 2 hours. This product being sustained released will work as well taken b.i.d or t.i.d. It works as a stand a lone product but will also work synergistically with statin drugs (which I do not think are ideal though many patients take them and we could get into a legal mess if we recommended the patient stop taking them).
CASE HISTORY
From Eric Chandley DC
“Here is an interesting case story I thought your subscribers may like. Jane Doe had been a regular “Chiropractic” patient of mine for about two years. She was not interested in changing her diet or taking any nutritional supplements, so I just treated her structurally. She had been on birth control pills since she was fourteen to treat her abnormal menstrual cycles, and every year she would to have the dosages increased to stop her from cycling too fast and too heavy. Well, she reached the point where no amount of birth control pills or injections would stop her from menstruating for three weeks and then having one week of no menstruating. Her medical doctor was a hormonal specialist MD/Ph.D and was considering shutting down her reproductive cycle
temporarily with medication. It was at this point that she then became interested in getting an alternate treatment plan for her condition. I told her that I could not take her off of her medicines, and that she would have to talk to her medical doctor about the safety of discontinuing her medications.
She went off her medications, and I took her through Dr. Lebowitz’s new protocols. She tested positive for fungus which was only negated by Coptis by Thorne. She tested positive for mixed rickettsia and protozoa which was negated by Scutellaria Lateriflora(by Ecclectic) Coptis and Berbercap by Thorne. I could not get her to clear on protozoa until she stopped brushing her teeth with the water from her faucet. She weakened on her water sample which was negated by the above herbs. Her entire endocrine system was malfunctioning from an Applied Kinesiology stand point. The treatment of this system over an eight month period of time included Basic Nutrients 1, 2, and 5, Glycine, Cortrex, CalMag Citrate, Captomer 250, Black Currant Seed Oil, EPA, Herb Bulk, Herb Lax and Thiocid which are all by Thorne. She tested positive for the mixed metals which was negated by Captomer 250 and Thiocid. Captomer was also useful topically to treat pain in the serratus anterior muscles bilaterally. She tested positive to a variety of foods throughout the course of her care. Surprisingly she was fine on all dairy products by her second visit, but continually became re-sensitized to celery and garlic. She admitted that if she would start eating those two items she could not do so in moderation, and would put them on at least two meals daily via a Cajun seasoning preparation. I also used a hypothalamus supplement from SP because Thorne had discontinued their similar product. I also used a progesterone cream, Natural Woman, for about three months early in her course of care because it was very effective at controlling her bleeding symptoms. Interestingly enough, about 10 weeks into taking the progesterone she began developing migraine headaches that quickly resolved when I took her off the cream. (She did test negatively for the cream at that time.)
The end result was that we normalized her menstrual cycle to picture perfect inside of eight months and eight visits. She improved after every treatment and was very grateful for the final result.
