Do Tissue Salts Work ? Tissue Salts Review

Posted by | Mar 9, 2018 | |

Everyone knows that minerals are essential micronutrients to our health. Minerals are inorganic substances found in soil and rocks. Your body gets these minerals from foods- from eating plants that absorb them from the earth and by eating meat from animals, which consume plants.  Without minerals your body could not repair or build new tissue, contract and relax muscles, transmit nerve impulses, clot blood, maintain optimal pH, keep your heart beating and your immune system healthy. Summary Tissue Salts Benefits The 12 Tissue Salts Benefits -A Brief Description Tissue Salts Benefits for MS…. Do Tissue Salts Work?   My Tissue Salts Review — Pros and Cons of Tissue Salts 1.Tissue Salts Benefits One of the first doctors who researched and truly understood the benefits of minerals was Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler, a prominent MD, physiological chemist and physicist of the late nineteenth century. He was well ahead of his time (and our time as well, I must say). He was unsatisfied with the medical treatments at this time- conventional medicine was using “strong drugs, poisons and nauseous chemicals” and homeopathic medicine was safe, but required too many remedies for a specific condition). As a practicing physician, he was able to put his theories to the test, creating an effective, yet simple form of therapy called Biochemistry- the chemistry of living tissues. Dr. Schüssler formulated four simple principles of biochemistry, which were...

What Does Acetylcholine Do? If dopamine is “ the molecule of motivation”, acetylcholine would be best described as the “memory molecule” as it helps you learn, focus, stay alert and convert short term memory into long term memory. Acetylcholine is the key neurotransmitter 1) in the autonomic nervous system (which includes the parasympathetic “rest and digest” branch, the sympathetic nervous system involved in “fight or flight “ reaction and the enteric nervous system, which is your” second brain” in the gut)-thus playing a key role in digestion, cardiovascular function, respiration, sweating and reproduction.  2) at the neuromuscular junction (between the motor nerve and skeletal muscle), thus playing an essential role in muscle and nerve functions and 3) in the brain, being found throughout the brain but particularly important in the hippocampus and temporal lobes. It was the first neurotransmitter to be discovered, and labeled the vagus stuff, as it mimics the electric stimulation of the vagus nerve [1].  While Parkinson’s disease is known to be associated with dopamine deficiency,...

Multiple Sclerosis Drug Zinbryta (Daclizumab) Withdrawn From All Markets Today

Posted by | Mar 2, 2018 | |

Multiple sclerosis drug Zinbryta (Daclizumab) withdrawn from all markets today, according to pharma companies Biogen and AbbVie. If you take this drug, remain calm, book an appointment with your doctor asap and ask for alternative therapy. Do not stop this medication on your own.  European Medicines Agency  had an “urgent review” of Zinbryta following seven cases of serious brain disorders in Germany, including encephalitis and meningoencephalitis, and  Spain.   You need to always look at the risks and benefits, and drugs like Daclizumab are clearly more dangerous than beneficial. Alemtuzumab may be the next MS drug to be withdrawn from the market. More and more side effects had been reported- I mentioned some of them in my monthly review of the news here. I see serious issues with Natalizumab,too- check out this report.  I suspect Ocrelizumab will be the withdrawn in the future as well. Don’ t know when, it was approved just last year for the treatment of MS,- but I know the history of this drug that had been labeled the “almost cure for MS”……while  several trials with this drug  had been terminated as “the overall benefit to risk profile of ocrelizumab was not favorable in rheumatoid arthritis. Some participants of these studies died unexpectedly in the  ocrelizumab group of the trials. If is too dangerous for people with rheumatoid arthritis, how come is so safe and effective for MS? Older drugs like Glatiramer Acetate...
