A new study reveals that there may be two forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease triggered when one’s immune cells attack the myelin sheathing. Beta-interferon has been used to treat those who live with MS. However, in close to a 1/3 of those who suffer from this disease, the treatments did not work and in fact made some people react negatively.

The following is from Paging Dr. Gupta on CNN

Without knowing which samples came from patients who had responded well or poorly to beta-interferon treatment, they went about measuring IL-17 levels in those samples. The human results were much like the animal models. Those with high amounts of IL-17 T cells had had negative reactions to beta-interferon.

“By making these distinctions in large human studies, people with multiple sclerosis might someday be able to take a simple blood test to see whether they are likely to respond to treatment with the standard multiple-sclerosis therapy.” says senior study author Lawrence Steinman, M.D. of the Neurology and Neurological Sciences Department at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

If an inexpensive test can be developed to detect IL-17 in humans, MS patients and their doctors will know whether beta interferon is or isn’t going to work. “For those who don’t have the IL-17 T cells,” notes Steinman, “those patients can receive beta-interferon and probably not in a diluted form but in a higher dose, which will help them better fight their illness.”

With some 400,000 people living with multiple sclerosis in the United States, finding ways to treat people with both types of MS is a step in the right direction. Damage from this disease can slow or block nerve signals throughout the body.

Oral chelation therapy from Cardio Renew can help increase energy and alertness in people suffering from multiple sclerosis. By increasing blood flow throughout the body, liquid chelation helps with the transfer of oxygen and rich nutrients to all parts of the body. Contact us for more information.

When you’re wondering what you should eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it can be difficult especially as we live in a society constantly on the move. This morning I overslept and I didn’t have time to eat the most important meal of the day—breakfast. I thought about hitting the McDonalds drive through as it would be so easy and their snooze commercial is on all the time, so I thought, it’s a great idea. But then I remembered my 3+ years of hiatus from the fast food chain and thought, “there is no way I am breaking that because I woke up late!” So I grabbed a yogurt and a single packet of instant oatmeal, a bowl and a spoon and ran out the door. I made myself the instant oatmeal when I got to work and ate it at my desk. I felt much better than I would have if I would have stopped for a fast food breakfast.

Then, while doing research on my computer this morning, I came across this article on CNN.com:

“For years, experts have warned us to cut down on saturated fat — think butter, cheese, bacon, red meat, and countless other tasty foods — because it clogs arteries and causes heart attacks.
Now, new research suggests all that self-restraint may have been misguided. While saturated fat does indeed raise LDL (or bad cholesterol), mounting evidence suggests that the fat, in and of itself, may not be as bad for your heart as previously thought.

But don’t rush out to the diner to order a big greasy breakfast just yet.

Cutting back on saturated fat is important, but not if you simply replace the calories with carbohydrates — such as those found in fat-free cookies, cakes, or other types of food. In fact, you need to replace saturated fat with polyunsaturated fats — the good fats found in nuts, vegetable oils, and fish — to get a benefit, according to a study published this week in the journal PLoS Medicine.”

Now, I am one of those types of people that love a good burger. Grilling season in the spring and summer is one of my favorite times of the year. I also love fish but hate preparing it. Fish is so important though because it provides you with the polyunsaturated fats and the Omega 3’s. When the weather is warm, I will learn to grill fish. But until then, I perused the internet and found some easy, healthy recipes on Health.com for seafood that you may enjoy.

Salmon w/ Pineapple Salsa

In other health news, studies show that men with both erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease may have a higher risk of early demise. ED is now considered to be a key warning sign for heart disease.

An article from WebMD states: “The men with ED and cardiovascular disease were:

• 1.9 times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease
• Twice as likely to have a heart attack
• 1.2 times more likely to be hospitalized for heart failure
• 1.1 times more likely to have a stroke

… Researchers say deaths from all causes occurred in 11.3% of patients who had ED at the start, but in only 5.6% of people with no ED or only mild problems at baseline.

They report that 16.2% of ED patients died from cardiovascular problems, suffered heart attacks or strokes, or were hospitalized for heart failure. Only 10.3% of men with no or mild ED had similar outcomes.

As ED worsened, risk of death from all causes increased, suggesting that ED identifies men whose cardiovascular disease might be dangerously advanced.

Bohm says that ED is closely associated with conditions that occur in atherosclerosis and vascular problems, such as plaque buildup, which often precedes heart attacks and strokes.”

There are many causes for ED. Reduced blood flow to the penis (Arteriosclerosis) and nerve damage (Diabetic Neuropathy) are most common. If you or someone you know suffers from erectile dysfunction, it may be important to undergo a physical on your heart as well. It’s important to monitor your heart health regardless of your situation but when ED is involved, it’s especially important.

You may also want to consider oral chelation therapy. Cardio Renew’s pure liquid chelation removes heavy metals and toxins from the arteries, resulting in increased blood flow throughout the body. Oral chelation therapy removes plaque buildup and other buildup clogging your veins and arteries. For more information on how Cardio Renew can help you, call us at 800-578-1215. Using chelation therapy for ED can help with your performance.

Though it’s been years since it was thought that women didn’t get heart attacks, studies are being completed to determine whether women still have a much lower recovery rate than men due to not being treated as quickly and efficiently as men.

“Better heart treatment of women could help close the gender gap in heart deaths. Women would be more likely to survive a heart attack if they were treated more like men, French researchers say.

In a study of more than 3,500 people admitted to the hospital for a heart attack, women were far less likely than men to get angiography to visualize heart artery blockages or angioplasty to open up blocked arteries.

Women were about twice as likely to die within a month of having the heart attack, according to the study, presented at the American College of Cardiology’s annual meeting.”

The studies show that where women are twice as likely to die after having a heart attack, it seems to be because they of older age and in poorer health than their gender counterpoints when they suffer from a heart attack. Women are not seeking medical attention as quickly as men as their symptoms tend to be more subtle. Whether they are experiencing shoulder pain, back pain, or shortness of breath, women rarely feel chest pain until the point where their chance of recovery lessens and many times, women wait until they feel chest pain before getting help.

Heart disease is a serious problem; it is the number one killer in the United States. Every year, heart disease kills more women than the next top five causes of death combined. Oral chelation therapy can help remove the blockage, including heavy metals, toxins, and damaging plaque, from your veins and arteries thus increasing your blood flow. EDTA improves your circulation which transfers rich nutrients and oxygen throughout your body. Cardio Renew can clean out your veins and arteries when you use their 100% pure liquid EDTA.

New studies show treatments used to help Type 2 Diabetics avoid heart attacks are either not working or actually harmful. The following information is from the New York Times article relating to this study.

“The results are surprising and disappointing, heart and diabetes experts say. An estimated 21 million Americans have Type 2 diabetes, the kind once known as adult-onset, and they are at enormous risk for heart disease. The only measures proved to reduce their chances — avoiding cigarettes and taking medication to lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure — still leave diabetics with a heart attack risk equivalent to that of a nondiabetic who has already had a heart attack.

So doctors began trying other strategies they hoped would help: getting blood pressure to a normal range; raising levels of good cholesterol and lowering levels of dangerous triglycerides; or modulating sharp upswings in blood sugar after a meal.”

The study also shows that a quarter of all people who suffer from heart attacks are living with Type 2 Diabetes and another quarter of heart attack patients are on the edge of developing diabetes.
