Making Sense of Nutraceuticals in China
The Chinese nutraceutical market is considered the third largest in the world after the US and Japan, or the fourth largest if Europe is counted as a single market.Despite strong fundamentals and high rates of annual growth, though, the Chinese market remains some way from realizing its true potential. Its evolution is muddied by ambiguities around what nutraceuticals actually are and how they should be managed.The result has been polarization between over-zealous regulation of so-called health foods, and a grey market where products have skirted approval procedures through questionable positioning or by exploiting alterna...

Hypovitaminosis D predicts more rapid and severe cognitive deterioration in ethnically diverse older adults with and without dementia
Commentary on: Miller JW, Harvey DJ, Beckett LA, et al.. Vitamin D status and rates of cognitive decline in a multiethnic cohort of older adults. JAMA Neurol 2015;72:1295–303. Implications for practice and research Hypovitaminosis D precedes and predicts incident declines in episodic memory and executive function in older adults with and without baseline dementia. This finding encourages testing the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation to slow down, prevent or even improve cognitive decline. These findings should encourage clinicians to correct hypovitaminosis D in elderly patients. Context Hypovitaminosis D is a ru...

UPDATE: How Much Vitamin D Should You Take?
Conclusions What is the sweet spot for vitamin D and longevity? All studies are in agreement: 40-50 ng/ml. If I had a (working) magic wand, I'd make this range much broader - but, there it is. Since it is narrow, let's cover the main sources of Vitamin D and figure out how you can get to the exact target. Sources of vitamin D We get vitamin D from supplements, sun and food--and in that order for most of us. Food Considering that we need thousands of IU's of vitamin D per day, food doesn't have that much. Some of the highest sources have only a few hundred units. Food sources of Vitamin D:[13] Salmon: 4 oz. = 500 IU...

Optimizing Diet: What You Eat Does Matter to Improve Cancer Outcomes
By: Peiying Yang, Ph.D., Lin Lin Shao, senior clinical dietitian, and Lorenzo Cohen, Ph.D., Integrative Medicine Program The American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR) has developed The New American Plate to help us reorganize the quantities of food groups on our plate to promote a more whole food, plant-based approach to nutrition. Mounting evidence shows that eating a primarily plant-based diet reduces cancer risk and is recommended for cancer survivors. By consuming more plants, specifically fresh, non-starchy green vegetables, less animal protein and less added sugars, we can decrease our risk of cancer and improve...

3 Surprising Things That Increase Your Dementia Risk
SPECIAL FROM “As many as five million Americans age 65 and older may have Alzheimer’s Disease, and that number is expected to double for every five-year interval beyond age 65.” — the National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke. While Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, it is not the only form. Risk factors for all kinds of dementia include, age, alcohol use, smoking, atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and genetics.

A Case of Transient Global Amnesia: A Review and How It May Shed Further Insight into the Neurobiology of Delusions
Conclusion In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54] Hippocampus relays information about contextual information based on past experiences and the current situat...

Visceral Fat Triggers Heart Disease
I tell my patients to avoid drinking soda not just because they make you fat. Each sip of soda affects your health. Soda puts you at risk for health problems like metabolic syndrome. This is a collection of symptoms that can lead to diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases, like cancer. Soft drinks are the beverage of choice for millions of Americans. The latest research now reveals that sodas are a major cause of visceral fat — the deadliest kind of fat you can have, inflaming your tissues, rotting your blood vessels and upsetting your body chemistry. In a minute I’m going to tell you about a great healthy ...

Antithromboembolic strategies in atrial fibrillation: A review.
Abstract Oral anticoagulation is highly effective for stroke prevention in high-risk-patients with atrial fibrillation. AF is also a risk for dementia, and effective OAC reduces the risk of dementia. Up to 30% of patients with atrial fibrillation have a coronary artery disease and antiplatelets are used to avoid thrombotic complications]. Patients with atrial fibrillation oft have an acute coronary syndrome und undergo a percutaneous intervention with stent-implantation. These patients require a triple therapy, i.e. the combination of oral anticoagulation with dual-anti-platelet therapy. It is obvious that OAC may...

Depression in the Elderly: A Common Condition That's Often Overlooked
When Suzette Santos, RN, a behavioral health nurse with the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY), was assigned to the case of Grace*, an 89-year-old resident of Nassau County on Long Island, she had some idea what to expect. Suzette had cared for Grace a year earlier, as the elderly woman struggled to cope with depression brought on by the recent loss of her husband and lifelong partner. When Suzette reconnected with her patient this time, she could immediately see that Grace's depression had gotten worse. "She had lost a lot of weight -- about 20 pounds," Suzette recalls. "She had no interest in cooking or eating, ...

This Vitamin Can Save Your Brain
Your brain has amazing abilities. And it can heal itself. That’s not something you’re likely to hear from mainstream medicine — especially if you or a loved one suffer from the effects of stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or another form of dementia. Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I’ve seen many people with brain damage. And, sadly, most have been deemed “hopeless” by so-called medical experts. But I can tell you there is nothing hopeless about dementia — no matter what its cause. With the right nutrients, there are times when brain damage can be reversed. And now recent research from...

Homocysteine, hyperhomocysteinemia and vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID)
Publication date: Available online 9 December 2015 Source:Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease Author(s): Atticus H. Hainsworth, Natalie E. Yeo, Erica M. Weekman, Donna M. Wilcock Homocysteine is produced physiologically in all cells, and is present in plasma of healthy individuals (plasma [HCy]: 3-10μM). While rare genetic mutations (CBS, MTHFR) cause severe hyperhomocysteinemia ([HCy]: 100-200μM), mild-moderate hyperhomocysteinemia ([HCy]: 10-100μM) is common in older people, and is an independent risk factor for stroke and cognitive impairment. As B-vitamin supplementation (B6, B12 a...

Metabolic vitamin B12 deficiency: a missed opportunity to prevent dementia and stroke
The purpose of this narrative review is to highlight insights into the importance and frequency of metabolic vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency, reasons why it is commonly missed, and reasons for the widespread but mistaken belief that treatment of B12 deficiency does not prevent stroke or improve cognitive function. Metabolic B12 deficiency is common, being present in 10%-40% of the population; is frequently missed; is easily treated; and contributes importantly to cognitive decline and stroke in older people.

The Vitamin That Defeats Dementia…
Technology is a gift, and I appreciate all the options we have today that our ancestors could not even imagine. But there’s a price that comes with it. Toxins from our industrial world are changing the playing field, and one of the most troubling side effects is showing up in my patients at a very young age. You see, my patients with early-onset dementia have been getting younger and younger. I used to see the disease start in people in their late 50s. But now I’m seeing more and more patients in their late 40s. Now, a new study in the Surgical Neurology International journal confirms what I’ve found. Res...
