Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

General Information

Description:

  • Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant;
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid is involved in process of converting sugar (carbohydrates) into energy, contributing to blood sugar level reduction;
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid interferes with oxidative process of circulatory and nervous systems in patients with diabetes mellitus;
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid performs an important role in liver and entire body purification from toxic substances and heavy metals.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) Indications:

  • diabetes;
  • allergic dermatoses, psoriasis, eczema, wrinkles;
  • dark shadows and swelling;
  • scars from acne;
  • yellowish or dull skin.

Pharmacodynamics

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a completely natural product. Its molecules exist deep within each cell of our body. It enhances positive effects of antioxidants (vitamins C and E).

Alpha Lipoic Acid also protects these vitamins in body and helps them to suppress free radicals. Alfa Lipoic Acid dissolves both in water and in fat, therefore it is a universal antioxidant. Unlike vitamins C and E, it is able to fight free radicals in any part of cell and even penetrate into space between cells and protect DNA. Alpha Lipoic Acid can increase cellular metabolism, which means that cell begins to produce more energy and is easier to recover.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is an effective anti-inflammatory agent. All of the listed properties of Alpha Lipoic Acid are related not only to internal parts of body, but also to skin. Inflammation of skin is a direct way to appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Alfa Lipoic Acid prevents appearance of inflammatory substances of cytokines that damage cell and accelerate aging process.

Alfa Lipoic Acid improves sugar metabolism in cell, does not allow it to accumulate in blood. Sugar is necessary for our body for life, but its excess has a toxic effect on cells. Diabetes develops, skin is damaged. Damage to skin is due to the fact that sugar joins collagen. Collagen loses its flexibility and elasticity, so skin becomes dry and wrinkled. Alfa Lipoic Acid prevents even reverse process of sugar addition to collagen, because it improves metabolism of sugar in cell, preventing it from accumulating and, at the same time, allowing mechanism of natural recovery of body to perform better.

Taking Alfa Lipoic Acid, you are protected from glycation all proteins in your body and allow body to use sugar more effectively as fuel, i.e. protect yourself from various problems associated with diabetes. Alfa Lipoic Acid can even turn glycation in the opposite direction, i. e. eliminate harm that sugar has already caused to the body.

General Information:

Description: Aconite belongs to the category of poisonous plants of the family of buttercups. All parts of the plant are poisonous, the level of toxicity Aconite depends on the specific species and place of growth. A straight-standing, rarely curly stem reaches a height of two or more meters, the root is thickened, tuberous. Flowers have a helmet-like shape of various colors, usually collected in a long multi-flower brush up to 50 cm long. Flowers of a peculiar form, depending on the species, have a blue, violet, yellow, less often mottled or white color.

Aconite in medicine:

To begin with, it must be recalled that all chemotherapeutic drugs used in standard cancer treatment regimens refer to aggressive substances with a huge number of side effects.

Thus, official antineoplastic agents, like alcohol extract of alkaloid aconite, are harmful not only to cancer cells, but also to healthy organs and tissues. This also applies to chemotherapy drugs of the last generation, working selectively.

However, the action of official medicines in the vast majority of cases can be planned and controlled.

As for the tincture of aconite, the use of this poison even in homeopathic doses is associated with a high risk, since for a stable therapeutic effect, the drug must be taken for a long time.

Aconite Wolfsbane is not included in the WHO approved cancer treatment regimen, as well as other serious diseases.

Aconite uses in the treatment of infectious diseases:

Aconite has been used for a long time to treat infectious diseases, including especially dangerous ones – anthrax, leprosy – and venereal diseases prone to relapse. To obtain a stable effect in these cases, homeopaths prescribe aconite tincture in combination with local treatment of foci of infection on the skin.

Aconite uses in the treatment of allergies, poisoning with berries and mushrooms, bites of poisonous snakes, insects:

One of the most amazing features of extracting alkaloids of aconite is the opportunity to act as an antidote for poisoning by strong poisons of a similar structure.

In this case, the therapeutic effect occurs due to the binding of aconitine to blood cells and / or other human tissues, preventing their interaction with deadly substances.

The alkaloids of aconite ideally “fit” in their chemical formula to the structure of cell receptors. Therefore, the receptors interact with alkaloids of aconite, and not with more dangerous poisons.

Important information! For oral administration, Aconite is prescribed in microdoses, according to special schemes and with mandatory constant monitoring of well-being. The dose and timing of treatment are most often selected individually. Occurrence of pronounced side effects and complications serves as a signal for the immediate cessation of the administration of aconite, the question of the further possibility of treatment should be decided only by a doctor after professional medical consultation. However, considering the ambiguous attitude of official world medicine to highly toxic poison, the treatment with Aconite under the official supervision of a doctor is very often difficult or impossible.

Aconite uses in the treatment of cancer: advantages and opportunities:

The centuries-old practice of using tincture and / or broth of Aconite in cancer treatment regimens testifies to its high effectiveness and makes it possible to consider it a full-fledged alternative to chemotherapeutic drugs, including medicines of the latest generation.

The main advantages of homeopathic therapy based on high-fatality alkaloids:

prevents the formation of metastases, as well as a significant slowdown (and in some cases – the reverse development) of existing secondary foci of tumors;
the correct application of Aconite practically does not lead to irreversible processes in internal organs;
strict adherence to dosage minimizes the side effects of Aconite;
Aconite not only counteracts the progression of the tumor, but also significantly reduces or eliminates the main symptoms of cancer: pain, depression, intoxication, etc., which is especially valuable in treating elderly people, as well as oncological patients who are weakened by the disease or prolonged courses of official chemotherapy.

Contraindicatios:

If you have an allergy to the action of the poison, the further use of Aconite is completely contraindicated in any doses!

Aconite overdose:

Severe poisoning with Aconite infusion causes dangerous disruption of the vital organs and signals the urgent action to prevent irreversible changes in the body, including death.

In this situation, the drug should be immediately cancelled. If necessary, the patient should receive the antidote. In this case, the effect of treatment is reset, but in this case there is simply no other way out.

In the process of treatment strictly according to the scheme, there may develop signs of intoxication. However, if these signs are noticed in time, and the treatment regimen is adjusted, it will not have to be interrupted. Thus, the patient will have a chance to take advantage of the harmful effect of the drug on tumor cells without significant harm to his health.

The first signs of Aconite poisoning include:

  • general weakness;
  • nausea;
  • impaired sensation and tingling at the fingertips and tongue;
  • malfunctions in the heart (violations of the normal rhythm of the heartbeats).

When these symptoms appear, it is necessary to reduce the single dose of the drug by 3 drops and continue treatment with this dosage until the patient’s condition improves. Only 5% of patients have such measures ineffective. This group of people shows the cessation of treatment and a 2-week rest, after which it is necessary to start again the course of therapy, selecting the appropriate concentration, dosage and sequence of taking the tincture.

Garcinia Cambogia

General Information

Brand Name: Garcinia cambogia

Application: Dietary supplement

System Components and Performance

Garcinia cambogia is one of the most widely used herbal supplements for weight loss. Many manufacturers include it in composition of their means for losing weight. Sometimes Garcinia is the only active substance. But more often it is contained in complex supplements for weight loss. Usually Garcinia cambogia extract is combined with other plant components.

Mechanisms of action:

  1. modulation of lipid metabolism. In laboratory studies, it has been proven that Garcinia cambogia can affect metabolism of fats. It accelerates process of their oxidation. Perhaps this property of Garcinia can accelerate weight loss by stimulating lipolysis.
  2. suppression of appetite. Very often this property of Garcinia cambogia is indicated by manufacturers of medicines for weight loss as the main mechanism of action.
  3. inhibition of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase. Laboratory studies have shown that hydroxycitric acid, the main active ingredient in Garcinia cambogia, is able to inhibit activity of digestive enzymes responsible for breakdown of carbohydrates. Thus, mechanism of fat burning action of this plant can be associated with blocking assimilation of calories.

Ingredients:

  • Garcinia extract (GLA 60%) – 400 mg;
  • magnesium (stearate);
  • silicon (oxide);
  • starch.

Garcinia cambogia reduces amount of new fat, cleans out deposits of cholesterol, positively influences well-being, reduces possibility of stress and appearance of depression, rejuvenates the body, restoring collagen cells.

Indications

  • Access weight.
  • Metabolism disorders.

Contraindications

Garcinia cambodia is contraindicated to patients suffering from:

  • diabetes;
  • Alzheimer’s disease;
  • mental and neurological disorders;
  • ischemia;
  • hypertension;
  • individual intolerance of components;
  • allergies;
  • weak stomach;
  • pregnant and lactating women.

Not so significant for health, but still unpleasant surprise is that use of Garcinia cambogia gives purely temporary effect. That is why most often soon after stopping taking the drug, weight comes back again. That is, prolonged change in eating habits is not within competence of this miracle means.

Danger arises also if you take Garcinia on the background of low- or no-carbohydrate diets. This combination can cause a sharp drop in blood glucose (hypoglycemia). The first symptoms are dizziness, weakness in muscles, unreasonable nausea. At first sign of hypoglycemia, hot sweet tea will help. If after a drink and rest you will not feel better, consult a doctor.

Side effects

If you buy any drug containing Garcinia cambogia and look at instructions, you will not find any contraindications or side effects there. Why? Because the vast majority of supplements contain Garcinia cambogia in a low dose, which even theoretically is not capable of providing clinical effects. One pill usually contains 100 – 200 mg of active ingredient. This is too little, even if we assume that Garcinia cambogia accelerates weight loss.

Such low doses do not have side effects. They are safe for health. But if you independently increase dosage and increase the number of pills for single use, unwanted phenomena are possible. They do not develop immediately, but after a few months of regular intake. Given that obesity always requires long-term treatment, Garcinia cambogia in some cases may cause health problems.

The plant extract, according to clinical studies, has negative effect on liver function. In men, Garcinia cambogia can reduce function of testicles. This effect was revealed in studies on rabbits. And although there is no evidence of the same effect of plants on human testes, men should still take this supplement with caution.

Occasionally there are side effects such as:

  • flatulence;
  • diarrhea;
  • abdominal pain;
  • upset stomach;
  • dizziness;
  • dry mouth;
  • headaches;

If you experience any of these symptoms after you start taking the supplement, stop taking it and consult a doctor.

Drug Interactions

Studies show that Garcinia cambodia can interact negatively with certain medicines. Among such medications there are medications for treatment of asthma, allergies and diabetes. According to research, garcinia makes these drugs less effective.

In addition, garcinia can adversely affect blood thinners, medications for treatment of mental illnesses, painkillers, iron preparations and statins to lower cholesterol.

Warnings

Garcinia cambogia increases level of hormone serotonin in human body. However, use of Garcinia with antidepressants from the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can cause serotonin syndrome. This can lead to neurologic symptoms, such as:

  • stuttering;
  • anxiety;
  • agitation;
  • loss of coordination;
  • hallucinations;
  • increased heart rate;
  • increased blood pressure;
  • fever;
  • diarrhea.

Dosage

Recommended daily dosages range from 300 mg to 660 mg. But in studies of efficacy of Garcinia cambogia, it was prescribed in 1,5 – 3 g per day. However, independent increase in daily dose of Garcinia cambogia is associated with some risks and inconveniences:

  • significant increase in the price of the course;
  • increased possibility of side effects.
