Vitamin D and colon cancer

4/24/2017

 
Photo vitamin_D_deficiency_inflammation_colon_cancer_drsuciu
The results demonstrated that 1,25(OH)2D3 deficiency could induce colon inflammation, which may result from increased oxidative stress and DNA damage, subsequently, induced cell senescence and overproduction of senescence-associated secretory factors. 
1,25(OH)2D3 may play an important role in preventing the development and progression of colon inflammation and colon cancer.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies showed that 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D[1,25(OH)2D3] insufficiency appears to be associated with aging and colon cancer while underlying biological mechanisms remain largely unknown. Inflammatory bowel disease is one of the risk factors for colon cancer.
In this study, we investigated whether 1,25(OH)2D3 deficiency has an impact on the colon of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase knockout [Cyp27b1(-/-)] mice fed on a rescue diet (high calcium, phosphate, and lactose) from weaning to 10 months of age.
We found that 1,25(OH)2D3 deficient mice displayed significant colon inflammation phenotypes including shortened colon length, thinned and disordered mucosal structure, and inflammatory cell infiltration.
DNA damage, cellular senescence and the production of senescence-associated inflammatory cytokines were also increased significantly in the colon of Cyp27b1(-/-)mice. Furthermore, the levels of ROS in the colon were increased significantly, whereas the expression levels of antioxidative genes were down-regulated dramatically in the colon of Cyp27b1(-/-)mice.
Taken together, our results demonstrated that 1,25(OH)2D3 deficiency could induce colon inflammation, which may result from increased oxidative stress and DNA damage, subsequently, induced cell senescence and overproduction of senescence-associated secretory factors.
​Therefore, our findings suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 may play an important role in preventing the development and progression of colon inflammation and colon cancer.

Depleted soils, nutrient-depleted food

4/11/2017

  • If an element is missing from our soil, it will be missing from the foods we eat; hence, we will not be properly nourished. Unfortunately, that is the reality of today's soil.
  • IT'S A FACT.  OUR SOILS ARE DEPLETED AND DEPLETED SOILS DO NOT PRODUCE HEALTHY, NUTRIENT-RICH PLANTS. 
  • The commercial applications of agriculture have not only depleted the soil of precious trace minerals but also have broken down the ability of plants to utilize those elements.
  • THAT MEANS OUR FOOD IS NUTRITIONALLY DEFICIENT RIGHT FROM THE SOURCE.  Then our food is refined and processed, which further degrades the nutritional value.
There are more than 70 trace minerals necessary to produce healthy, nutrient-rich crops, yet most current farming methods routinely put back only 3 to 5 of them. And that's only part of the problem.
Inorganic (synthetic/dead), ammonium-based fertilizers, along with herbicides and pesticides, kill the precious microorganisms in the soil that are essential to the creation of organic (carbon-based/living) mineral complexes.
We have done more than simply use up the available trace minerals in our soils (those in the form of organic complexes).
WE ALSO HAVE DESTROYED THE MEANS OF REPLENISHING THESE SOIL-BASED MICROORGANISMS. 


It is also easy to understand what Linus Pauling (twice awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine) meant when he explained to the 74th Congress of the United Sates, "Every ailment, every sickness and every disease can be traced back to an organic trace mineral deficiency."

Selenium and HIV infection

4/8/2017

 
Photo drsuciu_selenium_hiv_infection
High selenium yeast supplementation (200 mug/d) was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Intention-to-treat analyses assessed the effect on HIV-1 viral load and CD4 count after 9 months of treatment. 

Selenium-treated subjects whose serum selenium increase was greater than 26.1 microg/L evidenced excellent treatment adherence, no change in HIV-1 viral load, and an increase in CD4 count.

Daily selenium supplementation can suppress the progression of HIV-1 viral burden and provide indirect improvement of CD4 (a certain type of white cells) count. The results support the use of selenium as a simple, inexpensive, and safe adjunct therapy in HIV spectrum disease.

Multivitamins benefits in Type 2 Diabetes

4/6/2017

 
Photo drsuciu_diabetes_vitamins_minerals_supplements
Among diabetics, infectious illness occurred in 93% of those receiving placebo and in 17% of those receiving multivitamin and mineral supplement. 
VISIT OUR PAGE: DIABETES
Abstract
​
BACKGROUND:
Use of multivitamin and mineral supplements is common among U.S. adults, yet few well-designed trials have assessed the reputed benefits.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the effect of a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement on infection and well-being.
DESIGN:
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
SETTING:
Primary care clinics at two medical centers in North Carolina.
PARTICIPANTS:
130 community-dwelling adults stratified by age (45 to 64 years or >or=65 years) and presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
INTERVENTION:
Multivitamin and mineral supplement or placebo taken daily for 1 year.
MEASUREMENTS:

Incidence of participant-reported symptoms of infection, incidence of infection-associated absenteeism, and scores on the physical and mental health subscales of the Medical Outcomes Study 12-Item Short Form.
RESULTS:
More participants receiving placebo reported an infectious illness over the study year than did participants receiving multivitamin and mineral supplements (73% vs. 43%; P < 0.001). Infection-related absenteeism was also higher in the placebo group than in the treatment group (57% vs. 21%; P < 0.001). Participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 51) accounted for this finding. Among diabetic participants receiving placebo, 93% reported an infection compared with 17% of those receiving supplements (P < 0.001). Medical Outcomes Study 12-Item Short Form scores did not differ between the treatment and placebo groups.
CONCLUSIONS:
A multivitamin and mineral supplement reduced the incidence of participant-reported infection and related absenteeism in a sample of participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a high prevalence of subclinical micronutrient deficiency. A larger clinical trial is needed to determine whether these findings can be replicated not only in diabetic persons but also in any population with a high rate of suboptimal nutrition or potential underlying disease impairment.

Melatonin and Periodontal Diseases

4/4/2017

 
Photo drsuciu_melatonin_periodontal disease
Salivary melatonin levels varied according to the degree of periodontal disease. As the degree of periodontal disease increased, the salivary melatonin level decreased, indicating that melatonin may act to protect the body from external bacterial insults.
Therefore, melatonin may be potentially valuable in the treatment of periodontal diseases.
VISIT OUR PAGE: PERIODONTITIS
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Melatonin possesses antioxidant, free-radical scavenging, and immunoenhancing properties that promote fibroblast activity and bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to examine the possible links between salivary melatonin levels and the severity of periodontal disease using the community periodontal index (CPI).
METHODS:
Thirty-seven patients with different degrees of periodontal disease were studied. Salivary and plasma melatonin levels (by radioimmunoassay), salivary/plasma melatonin ratio, and CPI status were collected for each patient. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze relationships among variables.
RESULTS:
Data showed a significant correlation between CPI and salivary/plasma melatonin ratios. When saliva volume was controlled for, a significant correlation (P<0.05) was found between lower salivary melatonin and a worse CPI. This finding suggests that melatonin may act as a protector against free radicals produced by inflammatory periodontal diseases.
CONCLUSIONS:
Salivary melatonin levels varied according to the degree of periodontal disease. As the degree of periodontal disease increased, the salivary melatonin level decreased, indicating that melatonin may act to protect the body from external bacterial insults.
​Therefore, melatonin may be potentially valuable in the treatment of periodontal diseases, although further research is required to validate this hypothesis

Supplements: You Do Really Need Them!

Presented by Mr. Fletcher June 1 1936 and Ordered to be Printed by the United States Government Printing Office Washington: 1936 During the 74th Congress, Second Session, Document No. 264
 
  • THE ALARMING FACT IS THAT FOOD--FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND GRAINS--NOW BEING RAISED ON MILLIONS OF ACRED OF LAND NO LONGER CONTAIN NEEDED MINERALS, ARE STARVING US--NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF THEM WE EAT!
  • No one of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply their system with the mineral salts they require for perfect health, because their stomach isn't big enough to hold them! And we are running to big stomachs. 

IT IS BAD NEWS TO LEARN FROM OUR LEADING AUTHORITIES THAT 99% OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE DEFICIENT IN THESE MINERALS, AND THAT A MARKED DEFICIENCY IN ANY ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT MINERALS ACTUALLY RESULTS IN DISEASE.

Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack of one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our lives.

Dr. Sherman of Columbia University asserts that 50% of the American people are starving for calcium. 
A recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that out of 4,000 cases in New York Hospital, only 2 were not suffering from a lack of calcium.

Many States show a marked reduction in the productive capacity of the soil * * * in many districts amounting to a 25% to 50%reduction in the last 50 years * * *. Some areas show a 10 FOLD variation in calcium. Some show a 60 FOLD variation in phosphorus * * *. Authorities * * * see soil depletion, barren livestock, increased human death rate due to heart disease, deformities, arthritis, increased dental caries, all due to lack of essential minerals in plant food.

​"We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for normal function of some special structure in the body.
DISORDERS AND DISEASE RESULT FROM ANY VITAMIN DEFICIENCY.
It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body's appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of minerals they have no function to perform. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless." 
This discovery is one of the latest and most important contributions of science to the problem of human health.

Omega 3 fatty acids are an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body

4/1/2017

 
Photo drsuciu_omega_3_selection_criteria
No nutritional program is complete without a high-quality source of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, which are lacking in the typical Western diet. Imagine if you are deficient in Omega 3 !
The cells in your body have a phospholipid bilayer that acts as a gatekeeper between the inside and outside of the cell—keeping things out or letting them in. As key components of that bilayer, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from our diet play a significant role in maintaining our good health at the most basic level. It is important to maintain an appropriate 1:1 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6, as these two substances work together to promote health. However, average diets contain significantly more omega-6.
The omega-3 long-chain fatty acids are the biosynthetic precursors of a family of compounds called eicosanoids (prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes). These hormone-like substances are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids for the maintenance of good health.
Ratios of omega-3s to omega-6s from the diet help support brain function. Neural phospholipid membranes selectively uptake DHA, and it is concentrated in the photoreceptors and some cell-signalling sites.
EPA and DHA are long-chain fatty acids whose function in the body includes helping maintain healthy highdensity
lipoprotein and triglyceride levels in the plasma, which are important for supporting healthy arterial function and blood flow.
Many large-scale epidemiological studies and randomized controlled studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids from fish support cardiovascular health.
These long-chain fatty acids are so important, in fact, that many commercially prepared infant formulas are now fortified with DHA to support health and nervous system development.
