"We
need to shift our focus from treating disease to generating
health..." Hippocrates (AMA"The Father of
Medicine")
New
Scientific Study…. What does it mean?
Every other day it seems, there is a new study that is published which
states that something is good for you or bad for you. It could be a
study about food, or supplements, or how easy it is for you to get some
dreaded disease. And there are many times that the study contradicts an
earlier one And the next study contradicts that one. Do we
believe them?
You need to know that studies are paid for by tax dollars and by
companies that have a vested interest in the study. They are looking to
prove that you should take a certain drug, or prescription vitamin, or
that you should be wary of a specific way of living.
Vested interest means that they may be out to prove their hypothesis so
they can sell you a drug or prevent you from using the competitor’s
product.
Then
there is the overwhelming problem, that one study doesn’t prove a
thing. There are so many variables, that you can’t possible expect
that a 100-300 person study (people who have been picked for the study)
to show something conclusively.
So
next time you decide you should not take something due to the
“latest” study. Read up what it really is. Find out the science
behind the nutritionally sound concept of nutrition or what your body
needs to function.
Or investigate the actual studies and what other studies have been done
– you can find them on PubMed.com
Alpha
Lipoic Acid & Acetyl L-Carnitine - Damage to the nerves of the body
is a growing problem
What
is R-Alpha Lipoic Acid?
Alpha-lipoic
acid is an antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every
cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants attack
"free-radicals," waste products created when the body turns
food into energy.
Free-radicals
cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells in the body.
Antioxidants can get rid of free-radicals and may reduce or help prevent
some of the damage they cause.
Other
antioxidants work only in water (such as vitamin C) or fatty tissues
(such as vitamin E), but alpha-lipoic acid is both fat- and
water-soluble. That means it can work throughout the body.
Antioxidants
in the body are used up as they attack free-radicals, but evidence
suggests alpha-lipoic acid may help regenerate these other antioxidants
and make them active again.
Alpha
lipioc acid comes in two forms. R and S. Alpha lipoic acid is a
combination of these two forms.
The
R form of alpha lipoic acid is the form normally found in the body.
Studies indicate the R-alpha lipoic acid form appears to be better
absorbed than the combination of R and S alpha lipoic acid.
Studies
show that alpha lipoic acid has an ability to kill free-radicals which
may help people who have pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness
in the arms and legs from nerve damage.
What
is Acetyl L-Carnitine?
Acetyl
L-Carnitine is a type of carnitine which is a substance that helps the
body turn fat into energy. Your body makes carnitine in the liver and
kidneys and stores it in the skeletal muscles, heart, and brain. Acetyl
L-carnitine acts as an antioxidant.
High
blood sugar levels damage nerves in the body, especially the arms, legs,
and feet, causing pain and numbness. Some small preliminary studies
suggest acetyl L-carnitine may help reduce pain and improve feeling in
affected nerves. It is also possible that acetyl L-carnitine can help
nerves regenerate.
Wellness
Support Network is pleased to be able to provide you with a nutritional
supplement called the WSN Nerve & Energy Booster which contains
acetyl L-carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid.
Studies
showed that taking acetyl L-carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid together
resulted in even greater improvements than either ingredient alone.
Where
can you get a great quality supplement?
These
ingredients were not included in the WSN Nerve Support Formula because
it has been found that R-alpha lipoic acid is better absorbed on an
empty stomach, while the WSN Nerve Support Formula is better absorbed
when taken with food.

Stretching Technique for Stress Relief
A
recently recorded seminar that was done at the National Science
Foundation, on a new stretching technique for stress and pain.

Almost everyone falls for these Medical Lies - Even Your Doctor
According
to a scientific review, the practice of using a type of starch
intravenously to replace lost blood volume in critically ill patients is
based on studies “loaded with fraudulent data,” and may increase
their risk of death or kidney failure.
According
to a British poll from last year, more than one in 10 scientists and
doctors claimed to have witnessed colleagues deliberately fabricating
data in order to get their research published.
The
Choosing Wisely campaign has issued a second report adding 90 medical
tests and procedures that are best avoided, as they provide no benefit,
or do more harm than good.
