What medications have you been able to stop on the Wheat Belly lifestyle?
I posed this question on the Wheat Belly Facebook page recently and received an overwhelming response. Here, I share a partial list of the responses: medications people have been able to stop by following the Wheat Belly lifestyle.
Just take a look at this incredible list: these represent medications prescribed by doctors to, in effect, “treat” the consequences of consuming wheat and grains. They prescribe drugs to treat the inflammation, swelling, skin rashes, gastrointestinal irritation, high blood sugars, airway allergy, and other abnormal effects all caused by wheat and grains.
The list includes anti-inf...

MKSAP: 38-year-old pregnant woman with hypertension and diabetes
Test your medicine knowledge with the MKSAP challenge, in partnership with the American College of Physicians.
A 38-year-old woman is evaluated during a follow-up visit. She has a history of well-controlled hypertension and type 1 diabetes mellitus. She is at 16 weeks’ gestation with her first pregnancy. Prior to conception she was taking lisinopril, which was discontinued in anticipation of the pregnancy, and labetalol was initiated. Other medications are insulin glargine, insulin lispro, and a prenatal vitamin.
On physical examination, she appears in good health. Blood pressure is 135/80 mm Hg. There is no edema....

MKSAP: 21-year-old male student is evaluated for a murmur
Test your medicine knowledge with the MKSAP challenge, in partnership with the American College of Physicians.
A 21-year-old male student is evaluated for a murmur heard during an athletic preparticipation physical examination. He is asymptomatic. His medical and family history is unremarkable and he takes no medications.
On physical examination, the patient is afebrile, blood pressure is 118/76 mm Hg, pulse rate is 68/min, and respiration rate is 14/min. BMI is 18. He wears corrective lenses for myopia. Mild thoracic scoliosis is noted. He has long, thin fingers and a mild pectus excavatum deformity. His height is 188 c...

MKSAP: 25-year-old woman comes for a preconception evaluation
Test your medicine knowledge with the MKSAP challenge, in partnership with the American College of Physicians.
A 25-year-old woman comes for a preconception evaluation. She has a history of hypertension that is well controlled with lisinopril. Medical history is otherwise unremarkable.
On physical examination, blood pressure is 134/86 mm Hg in both upper extremities; other vital signs are normal. Results of the cardiovascular examination are unremarkable. There is no edema, cyanosis, digital clubbing, or radial artery-femoral artery pulse delay.
Laboratory studies reveal normal electrolytes, complete blood count, thyroid...

Medications After a Heart Attack
From: www.secondscount.orgYour heart attack recovery will include medications. Taking these medications exactly as prescribed is one of the best tools at your disposal for avoiding death in the months following a heart attack. According to an article published in Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association, heart attack patients who had not filled any of their prescriptions within 120 days of being discharged from the hospital had 80 percent greater odds of death than those who filled all of their prescriptions.Medications you are likely to be prescribed after a heart attack fall int...

Updates on a Crowdfunded Mouse Life Span Study
For all that I think it isn't an efficient path forward, one likely to produce meaningful results in moving the needle on human life spans, there is considerable interest in testing combinations of existing drugs and various dietary compounds in mice to see if healthy life is extended. I expect that as public interest grows in the prospects for aging research to move from being an investigative to an interventional field, wherein researchers are actively trying to treat aging, we'll only see more of this. There is certainly a sizable portion of the research community who think that the the best path ahead is in fact the ph...

Cardiology MCQ: Angiotensin II receptor
Angiotensin II receptor 1 (AT1) is involved in:
a) Vasoconstriction
b) Proliferation
c) Aldosterone secretion
d) All of the above
Correct answer: d) All of the above
Angiotensin II is one of the most potent vasoconstrictors. It is also involved in the stimulation of aldosterone release from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. Angiotensin receptors are G-protein coupled receptors. The important angiotensin receptors described are: AT 1, 2, 3 and 4.
AT 1 is the most important and is involved in vasoconstriction, proliferation, matrix formation and aldosterone secretion. Losartan is a selective antagonist of AT1 rece...

Losartan No Better Than Atenolol in Marfan’s Syndrome
Beta-blockers have been the standard treatment for people with Marfan’s syndrome, a rare inherited connective tissue disorder that affects about 1 in 5000 people. The goal of treatment is to prevent or slow down the dilation of the aorta and avoid aortic dissection, the main cause of death. In recent years, studies have raised the hope that losartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, might be more effective than beta-blockers in slowing aortic enlargement. The Pediatric Heart Network Investigators randomized 608 children and young adults with Marfan’s syndrome to the beta-blocker atenolol or losartan…. ...

Blood test results 2014
After over a year with no tests, I decided to subject myself to the needle again and have my blood analyzed.
The good news: no change
The tests show no signs of kidney function degradation. Serum creatinine is 2.0mg/dL, exactly what it was when I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease over five years ago. All other parameters are pretty consistent with the results obtained over the last five years and are within, or close to, the normal healthy range.
This either means that:a) My hard work watching my diet and trying to live a healthy life is paying off and protecting my kidneys from further damage, or,b) None of my lif...

Angiotensin II receptors
Angiotensin II receptors are a group of G-protein coupled receptors. They are an important part of the renin-angiotensin system, involved in signal transduction.
AT1 receptor: stimulation produces vasoconstriction and is pro-inflammatory. Losartan is a selective AT1 antagonist widely used in the treatment of hypertension. AT1 receptor is also involved in the stimulation of aldosterone synthesis, cardiac hypertrophy and vascular smooth muscle proliferation.
AT2 receptor: stimulation of this receptor produces vasodilatation and it is anti-proliferative. AT2 receptor concentration is high in the fetus and neonate, but low in...

A Review of Approaches to Delay Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is the name given to age-related loss of muscle mass and and strength, although by the time it is processed through the regulatory system into a formal, final disease definition, it will be restricted to referring to only severe levels of loss. Average loss of muscle mass and strength will be called normal, just a part of aging, and therefore something that shouldn't be treated - and indeed, that it is forbidden to treat, as in regulatory systems like that of the FDA in the US, everything that is not explicitly permitted is illegal. This is a major systemic problem with the present system of medical regulation, ...
