Autoimmune Drugs or...

I noticed a lot of commercials on TV for different Medications which actually were for autoimmune diseases. They would block the source of the inflammation, etc.. OKay, my first thiught was why not address the souce of the inflammation and build health.

But, it appears that there must be a big market for Autoimmune dieases. So here is a Tip to help Autoimmune Conditions

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.

Real Health Products (RHP) is able to provide you with a nutritional supplement called the RHP 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 this?

These ingredients were not included in the RHP Nerve Support Formula because it has been found that R-alpha lipoic acid is better absorbed on an empty stomach, while the RHP Nerve Support Formula is better absorbed when taken with food.

Are Anxiety and Diets Linked?

What we have learned about anxiety and diet combined with what we know about fungi and yeasts might reveal an overlooked link between diet and feelings of anxiousness.

In the hectic, fast-paced world that we live in, there are a number things that seem to make feeling anxious inevitable. From a dismal 24 hour news cycle seemingly always rife with bad news, to the constant overstimulation of social media, mobile devices and screens, finding some peace in today’s world seems virtually impossible, for many people.

Unsurprisingly, more and more people report suffering from anxiety and associated feelings like depression than ever before. These feelings often land people in their doctor’s office seeking relief, which is understandable. To that end, more people are on mood altering drugs than ever before.

Seeking professional help for feelings of anxiety is a undeniably a good thing. For those feeling anxious or overwhelmed, modalities like therapy and even medication can be life saving in the most literal sense. And while you should always talk to your doctor, listen to his or her advice (even if they recommend taking drugs) it is worth asking: Are lifestyle factors that are within your control possibly playing a role in your anxiety?

Do Lifestyle Factors Affect Anxiety?

In truth, we have known that there are many factors within our control that can help relieve feelings of anxiousness. It has been known for some time that exercise can assist in minimizing the effects of stress and anxiety. Taking time to be quiet, pray, or meditate have all been shown to lower stress and anxiety. But the most recent discoveries about the relationship between lifestyle choices and anxiety likely has to do with the role played by our diet.

There are a number of things to know about the relationship between diet and anxiety:

There is a strong link between the gut and the brain; some scientists even refer to the gut as the “second brain”. The gut contains around 100 million neurons, which produce neurotransmitters like serotonin––the “feel good” chemical.

The microbiome of the gut is thought to affect whether these neurotransmitters fire correctly.

There is some link between inflammation and anxiety; we know that certain foods, particularly unhealthy fats, processed foods, and foods high in sugar and simple carbs can exacerbate inflammation and thus might play a role in exacerbating anxiety.

Foods like sugar, alcohol and caffeine are thought to exacerbate feelings of anxiety.

There is another question that needs to be asked however, if we are talking about the dietary link to anxiety, and that is, can yeast, fungi or their poisons influence anxiety?

Fungi, Anxiety and Diet

This might seem like a detour from the subject at first glance, but there are reasons why this is critical to the conversation. There are two key examples that can shine some light on how fungi/and or mycotoxins can have a direct result on how we feel.

The first is alcohol. Alcohol can temporarily relieve feelings of anxiety, only to have those feelings come roaring back. Alcohol is a byproduct of yeast (and too much of it is toxic), so to think of alcohol as a mycotoxin is not unreasonable. Alcohol, for better and worse, has a direct result on how you feel, both good and usually bad (after the fact). Its link to self-medicating anxiety and exacerbation of anxiety is well-known.

The second example of how fungi can have effects on how you feel is the, powerful, mind-altering properties of psilocybin-containing mushrooms, and the mycotoxin produced by Claviceps purpurea, known as ergot. Ergot poisoning is thought to be responsible for the hallucinations that led to the girls in the Salem Witchcraft Trials being found guilty of witchcraft.

“Magic” mushrooms are well-known for their mind-altering affects.

So, it is not unreasonable to assume fungi and yeast can affect your mind and mood in profound ways. And, we know that diet can influence an underlying fungal infection that might have eluded diagnosis, which is thought to be common by many practitioners.

Interestingly, many of the foods thought to exacerbate anxiety are the very foods that are eliminated on The Kaufmann Diet, which is an anti-fungal program designed to eliminate pathogenic yeasts and fungi from the body and limit the amount of mycotoxins. This is done by eliminating foods thought to be commonly contaminated with these mold poisons.

Also interestingly, fungal infections are thought to influence many of the factors that scientists now say are part of the dietary link to anxiety.

Fungi and yeast can affect inflammation levels in the body. The presence of fungi is known to raise CRP, an important marker for inflammation.

Fungi and yeasts can have a pronounced effect on the gut micro biome, in some cases outgrowing the beneficial bacteria that naturally exist there, which is a condition called dysbiosis. A number of health problems are thought to ensue if this is the case.

How To Fight Anxiety With Diet

In the past few years, as we have learned about the possible dietary links to anxiety, anti-anxiety diets have arisen as a means with dealing with anxiety. None of these, however, address the possible fungus link to anxiety.

To that end, it might be beneficial to ask your doctor about switching to The Kaufmann Diet. Already, many of the foods that are thought to promote anxiety, such as foods high in sugar, caffeine, alcohol and processed foods, are virtually eliminated.

The Fungus Link Vol 1

e Kaufmann diet will also address any underlying fungal condition, should one be present. The Kaufmann Diet also deals with the issue of yeast overgrowth and seeks to support the micro biome of the gut in a beneficial way. Often, people who go on the Kaufmann Diet for a period of time experience relief from many symptoms that have plagued them for years, including feelings of depression and anxiety. This approach should certainly be tried under the supervision and with the permission of your doctor.

What Does Vitamin C Do for Your Neuropathy?

Sorbitol (a form of sugar) travels to certain parts of the body where it builds up. These parts of the body are the lens of the eye where it forms a white milky film called cataracts, and the sciatic nerve (the big nerve that runs down your leg) where it can cause nerve damage (nerve pain).

Evidence indicates that taking 2,000 mg a day of vitamin C may reduce the production of sorbitol and help strip sorbitol out of the body.

Camu camu is one of the highest known sources of natural vitamin C. Research indicates camu camu contains up to 56 times more vitamin C than a lemon and 50 times more vitamin C than an orange.

Most Camu Camu sold on the market today is sold as camu camu powder in bags, or in capsules or tablets. 20 percent of camu camu powder is actual vitamin C.

If you have 500 mg of camu camu powder in a capsule - you are only getting 100 mg of Vitamin C.

If there are 60 capsules in a bottle, then the total amount of Vitamin C you would get in that bottle is 6,000 mg.

Often these bottles are sold at around eighteen to twenty dollars a bottle.

We are different.

Each of our camu camu vitamin C tablets contains 200 mg of actual vitamin C. Each tablet contains 1,000mg of camu camu powder.

Our bottle has 120 tablets. The total amount of vitamin C you get in our bottle is 24,000 mg.

A bottle of RHP Vitamin C from Camu Camu is normally 32.20 - Right now it is only 25.76 a bottle!

This is far more than twice the amount of Vitamin C, at more than half the cost!

(And, if we kept the price in line with what others are charging on the market - the RHP Vitamin C from Camu Camu should cost 72.00 a bottle!)
