Dark Chocolate

Consuming moderate amounts of dark chocolate can significantly reduce levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) as shown by an Italian study in the October 2008 issue of the Journal of Nutrition. It is well understood that inflammatory markers such as the highly sensitive CRP are significant markers for risk of cardiovascular disease.

These are the first results to come out of a large Italian epidemiological study aiming to recruit 25,000 individuals to look for environmental and genetic factors associated with cardiovascular disease and cancer.

The reduction in CRP (hs) seen from eating moderate amounts of dark chocolate changes the risk from medium risk of cardiovascular disease to low risk. The 17% average reduction will reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease one third in female participants and one fourth in men.

Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome

Treated with Diet and Exercise

This is about the Effect of a Hypocaloric Diet with and without Exercise training on Body Composition, Cardiometabolic Risk Profile, and Reproductive Function in Overweight and Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

When people are overweight from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), it is a standard feature to try to have the addition of exercise to diet be the most important function that can be done in these individuals. This study was out to prove how well such a thing would be successful on weight loss.

It appears that people who entered in this study did everything as they were exactly told in terms of diet, exercise and then had subsequent measurements of all the cardio vascular risk factors.

There was shown to be some improved body composition in that there was increased muscle mass, but there was no additional effect on improvements in cardiometabolic, hormonal, and reproductive outcomes relative to diet and this exercise.

Once again it shows that the power of a genetic or metabolic syndrome is genetically strongly related and is going to thwart all the standard treatments that experts have forced everybody to consider i.e. the presence of diet and exercise to get your weight down. It just doesn’t work very well.

Noninvasive diagnosis of subclinical atherosclerosis in cardiometabolic syndrome: a call to action.

Wave form analysis of blood pressures to find atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis is the first order.

We will have our second device for wave form analysis will be in the office shortly. This is how we determine these diseases and then we set about reversing the disease. We reverse it with l-arginine, using it in the manner suggested in the manner suggested in the process explained when the Nitric Oxide pathway won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1998.

This is the concept of Strategic Health in action. Finding you have a problem before your first symptom then reversing it. It’s your time.

The Accord Trial

The Accord trial was stopped.

This was the US trial that set out to show that if you were meticulous with your glucose control you had less heart disease. They were getting ever increasing deaths so the trial was stopped. The sister trial to show the same results in European patients had no such problems and continues.

It is my feeling that the United States has not treated their people with diabetes correctly in this study and in the ordinary care of people with diabetes. All my life I have seen people who could not gain control of their metabolism and glucose but for me it was a piece of cake.

“How did you do that?!” Their doctor would scream, “I used all the same medications you did!” Did they feel that my 6 years in metabolism training in diabetes was for nothing?

In such major trials, only diabetes specialists should be involved.

I am of sending out information concerning the Second Cardiometabolic Conference in the World to be held in Boston in October 10, 2008. I will be doing a series of 90 seconds on health with that meeting in mind.

http://www.cardiometabolichealth.org/

I will be doing intermittent and every increasingly frequent topics on this because it is recognized as the new medical frontier in medicine,
all the way from genetics to, l-arginine, to anti aging and disease reversal.

http://www.cardiometabolichealth.org/#

What specialists might come? Endocrine Metabolic people like me, Cardiologists, those who specialize in Hypertension, vascular surgeons, and many others you may have never known.

Stay tuned, it’s going to be very interesting.

I want to announce a special deal for the CVProfiler to have it done on Wednesday Mornings at the reduced price of $100 a test.

Call in to the office to Ivonne to make the 15 minute appointment and you are set. 650 566 9810.

This test is the most important test that is done in the office.

We also have a new test for autonomic neuropathy just approved by the FDA three months ago that we are finding is linked to the small vessel disease as noted in the small vessels abnormality seen in the CVProfiler.

The treatment of both these situations is similar depending on the readings. The attached will tell you more.

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 02.20.08
Half of all middle-aged and older adults are vitamin D deficient. This is below 15 ng/ml – unequivocally low in the world today.

Known disease that have been associated with low D include, osteoporosis, weak muscles, cancer, diabetes, schizophrenia depression, lung dysfunction and cardiovascular disease.

The chance of a first cardiovascular event is increased 62% in someone with high blood pressure and low vitamin D.
