Text Summary
Avandia and Actos have been individually accused of being associated with increased cardiovascular disease. This study involves 12,491 patients 66 years old or older who were taking these drugs and compared them to patients taking one or more hypoglycemic agents.
The study covered a medium of 3.8 years included data from Ontario.
12,491 were admitted to the hospital for congestive heart failure.
12,578 had a heart attack
30,265 died
This is about 4 times the cardiovascular problems of those taking other combination oral hypoglycemic agents.
We virtually have gone in my office for 18 years with only a rare case of these problems. I attribute this success to the l-argi9 plus and the weaker but successful other l-arginine products used previously.

Text Summary
JAMA 2/20/08, PAGE 769-777
It is well known that there is a distinct group of people who become hypothyroid and don’t return to normal feels of health even with fully normal serum T-4 free levels. Often the addition of T-3 replacement helps for a time but often energy flags after a few months.
This is an excellent scientific approach to the problem but in my mind will not have me do anything different.
I still don’t know the answer but I do know the way to approach this problem. In the main, patients usually will better by pushing T-4 free near the top, the TSH down near the bottom and use a healthy amount of Vitamin D3 (50,000) IU daily for a month or two.

Text Summary
Word from the Government is that we are in the full swing of this season’s influenza epidemic. The Flu vaccine for this year was wide of the mark leaving those who did receive the vaccine to have only 40% protection, not the 60 to 70 % we have come to expect.
All is not lost, however. Do you recall my recommendation that you retain a 5 day supply of Tamiflu in the refrigerator to enable you to treat the bird flu (Avian Flu) early and hopefully successfully? This is working splendidly on this year’s flu.
Go to the refrigerator, find the Tamiflu and start it at the first sign of this year’s flu. Use it up because we will not be likely to have bird flu back sooner than another 50 to 75 years.
