Nutrition Review

Researchers at the Faculty of Life Sciences (LIFE), University of Copenhagen, can now unveil the results of the world's largest diet study: If you want to lose weight, you should maintain a diet that is high in proteins with more lean meat, low-fat dairy products and beans and fewer finely refined starch calories such as white bread and white rice. With this diet, most people can also eat until they are full without counting calories and without gaining weight.

People with multi-symptom asthma more often have night-time awakenings due to asthma-symptoms, a sign of severe asthma. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Respiratory Research have shown that asthma with multiple symptoms is more highly prevalent than previously suggested, comprising 20- 25% of all asthmatics.

Metformin, a drug used in type 2-diabetes might have the potential to also act against Alzheimer's disease. This has been shown in a study from scientists of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), the University of Dundee and the Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics.

We learned about SleepCycle in the Alamo Valley Press. The thing that caught our attention was that emergency room workers use it. I bought some for me and my son Malcolm. It seems like I go to sleep faster now. When I wake up I feel more relaxed. And also more wide awake.

I began taking Tango’s OsteoPhase® and Herbal Boost® in late summer 2008 to address my bone density issues. During past years I had fractured my femur falling off a bike, and cracked my pelvis tripping on a rock and falling. Both events required assiduous efforts to recover and strengthen.

GingiPhase is a wonderful product. The small pocket which started forming around my tooth had completely disappeared after just a few days of taking GingiPhase. I can now eat meat and nuts and I have no more pain. Not only has it helped the inflammation of my gums, but also did wonders for my sinuses and ears. I have no more sinus pains and no more itching in my ears.

Thank you for allowing me to share my story about how OsteoPhase® helped me. My physician, Dr. Branin, was supportive when I showed him the literature about OsteoPhase two years ago. He said it looked like a good product from the review. His only concern was that there were only positive reports and no negatives.

With all the attention focused on the twin epidemics of obesity and Type 2 diabetes, few people are aware of another closely related condition that is rapidly becoming another major epidemic. According to the American Liver Association, fatty liver disease – marked by the abnormal accumulation of fat in the liver – currently affects as many as one in five Americans.

As a board certified, homeopathic family physician specializing in Integrative CAM (complementary alternative medicine), I am always encouraged when, in addition to having solid, scientific evidence to verify its benefits toward improved health and wellness, a promising supplement proves its therapeutic value in direct clinical experience and real life settings.

Taking time off from certain osteoporosis drugs may be beneficial to bone health, according to a study conducted at Loyola University Health System. Researchers found that bone density remained stable for three years in patients who took a drug holiday from bisphosphonates, a popular class of osteoporosis drugs that can cause fractures in the thigh bones and tissue decay in the jaw bone.
