The Role of Viral Infection in Heart Failure
Mounting evidence suggests that some viruses can persist in heart tissue after an initial infection, and become reactivated under certain conditions, triggering a cell-mediated immune response that leads to myocarditis and, potentially, dilated cardiomyopathy.
Effects of a Nutritional Supplement Combination on Blood Glucose Measurements in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Preliminary findings suggest that the nutritional supplement combination might be clinically effective in reducing fasting glucose and A1c in prediabetic adults and those with type 2 diabetes.
Expediting COVID-19 Recovery with an Orthomolecular Approach: Two Case Reports
These case reports discuss two middle-aged patients with confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 infection that improved swiftly upon receiving orthomolecular oral and intravenous therapy.
TUDCA and Neurodegeneration
TUDCA is safe and potentially effective in ALS, which is now the first neurodegenerative condition to be treated with hydrophilic bile acids.
Fisetin and Lung Health
Fisetin has been shown to have a positive effect on the complex array of interconnected signaling mechanisms that play a key role in regulating aging and health.
Senolytic Therapy and Cancer
Efforts to prevent senescence resulting from cancer treatment have led to the emerging field of senolytic drug development.
A Novel Role for Senolytic Therapies
The link between viral infections and cellular senescence has prompted researchers to investigate the efficacy of senolytic agents, which have been shown to induce apoptosis in senescent cells.
Berberine in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health
Both pre-clinical and clinical studies continue to shed light on berberine’s therapeutic potential, corroborating many of its traditional uses.
CBD as a Physiological Modulator for Cancer
CBD may possess antitumor activity through several mechanisms, including regulating reactive oxygen species, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation, and immune modulation. This review summarizes the evidence regarding the effects of CBD as a non-toxic adjuvant in cancer care.
The Net Micronutrient Balance Value Concept: Revisiting Orthomolecular Nutrition
We propose the concept of the net micronutrient balance value (NMBV), which refers to the actual micronutrient content of the food product minus the portion not absorbed and the amount depleted in metabolic processes due to additives, contaminants, medication, and faulty metabolism.
Cardiovascular Health Update: Red Yeast Rice
Studies have shown that daily consumption of Red Yeast Rice lowers plasma levels of LDL cholesterol by 15-25% within six to eight weeks.
