Ribose Can Boost Energy Relieve Pain and More

Sunday, November 30th, 2008
Darrell Miller asked:


Many people have so much pain and fatigue that they think they’re going to have to quit their jobs. However, a lot of them have found that taking ribose makes them feel as if a huge weight has been lifted from their chest and they are ready to take on the complexities of their careers again. According to Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, this type of relief is very common when patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or heart disease take ribose. Not only is Teitelbaum a physician, he is also a researcher. He describes ribose as a key molecule that must be present in order to convert food into energy.

Among those people with heart disease, lack of energy makes the heart exert more effort with each necessary beat needed to pump sufficient blood, which leads to further damage. However, ribose helps to correct this problem, with decades of research supporting this claim. One example is a study that was published in the European Journal of Heart Failure, in which the condition of fifteen heart disease patients was shown to improve significantly after three weeks of ribose therapy.

Additionally, the patients were able to be much more physically active. Other studies published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology and the Journal of the American College of Cardiology on heart patients have found that ribose improves the ability to breathe, which is also a predictor of prolonged life. The ribose supplement enabled heart patients to exercise because they no longer suffered from as much fatigue, which improved their overall quality of life.

By enhancing energy production with ribose, one can relieve pain as well as fatigue. As muscles get energy depleted, they get stuck in the shortened position, which is one of the most common causes of pain throughout the United States. When energy is restored in the muscles they are able to relax and the pain then goes away. One study done by Teitelbaum published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine tested ribose on 41 patients who were diagnosed with fibromyalgia and/or CFS, as they are some of the most energy-depleted states seen.

Teitelbaum and his research team found that ribose increased energy levels by an average of 45 percent. Dr. Teitelbaum claims to never have seen a single nutrient do anything so dramatic, even after researching CFS and fibromyalgia for about 30 years. What is interesting is that ribose also supports restful sleep. It may seem counterintuitive that when your body can’t produce enough energy, muscles can’t relax, and sleep troubles may results. Ribose also allows athletes or anyone who works out intensely to have more stamina and recover more rapidly from exercise without having as many sore muscles.

Teitelbaum recommends that one uses a capsule or powdered form of ribose and takes a higher dosage at first, as it increases cellular levels of the nutrient. This can be followed by a lower maintenance dose. The first three weeks should consist of taking 5 grams three times daily, with the frequency being reduced to twice daily after the three weeks. For fatigue or heart conditions, one should take ribose three times daily for up to six weeks.

Is Black Tea Good For You?

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008
Mary Rose Antonio asked:


Tea is enjoyed the world over, but every now and then this question arises- is black tea good for you?

All true teas, including this widely known beverage come from the Camellia sinensis plant.

Whether the final product will be a white, green or even black, it is determined by the amount of time the tea is allowed to oxidize or ferment.

Green and white tea are not oxidized and are processed very minimally while black tea is a fully fermented beverage.

This oxidation/fermentation process does alter the chemical composition of the plant, thus altering its beneficial properties.

Now with this being said, this pleasurable beverage is very good for you.

While it may not be as high in antioxidants as white or green tea, the differences are not earth shattering.

This beverage is very high in tannins and has many other beneficial properties.

Studies have shown that this amazing drink slows the aging process with its free radical scavenging abilities.

Studies have also suggested that this beverage slows cancer growth. It achieves this by causing simply causing the cancer cells to self destruct. But unlike chemotherapy, the healthy cells are unaffected by the compounds found in black tea.

Did you know that it is also an effective weapon in the arsenal of anyone suffering from hardening of the arteries or high cholesterol?

The components found in this drink help your arteries to relax and expand which lessens your risk for heart attack or stroke and reduces the bad cholesterol levels.

Who knew that a drink, enjoyed the world over since times immemorial, is also so healthful!

There have also been studies which show that drinking this beverage with milk may also alter its ability to provide these cancer fighting and high blood pressure reducing services.

The milk contains a protein known as casein and this protein has been shown in several studies to negate the beneficial properties found in this wonderful beverage. By adding milk to your black tea, you may be doing yourself a disservice if you wish to reap the full benefits of this amazing beverage.

In a study conducted by a German professor of cardiology, the subjects who were given this amazing drink with milk had significantly lower instances of arterial expansion. Similar studies were also conducted using laboratory rats and once again, the arteries of rats given this beverage with milk were not relaxing nearly as much as arteries belonging to rats who were given black tea without the addition of milk.

More studies need to be done, and this is by no means a definitive conclusion.

As an added bonus, it can also help you burn fat and speed up your metabolism!

Can this tea get any better?

More and more studies are being conducted daily which further prove and substantiate what Chinese herbalists have known for centuries- this satisfying drink is healthy for you.

So to put the question “is black tea good for you” to rest, the answer is a resounding YES!

Drinking this wonderful beverage is one of the best things you can do for yourself, but maybe just hold off on the milk!

A Common Cardiology Test and Report Can Detect Heart Disease

Monday, November 24th, 2008
Xander Rustev asked:


At some point in there life, virtually everyone will experience severe chest pain. This is because chest pain can have a number of causes including indigestion and something even as simple as a stressed or pulled muscle in the back. However; there are cases where severe chest pain can be a symptom of heart disease. Heart disease can strike at any time in a persons life and afflicts both men and women.

Nine Million Americans At Risk

At the present time over nine-million Americans are at immediate risk of heart disease and the vast majority of them don’t even know it. However; in recent decades great strides have been made in understanding and detecting this silent killer but the first step that must be taken is to undergo a cardiology test and report.

Myocardial Profusion Imaging

One common type of heart disease is known as coronary artery disease or CAD, which is when the arteries surrounding and connecting to the heart become clogged or impeded. One of the most common tests for detecting and gaging the severity of this type pf coronary artery blockage is called Myocardial Perfusion Imaging.

Nuclear Camera

To perform this test, a benign fluid that contains a mildly radioactive substance is injected into the person receiving the test. Then a nuclear camera is used to obtain three dimensional images of the actual blood flow in the arteries in and around the heart. The camera can’t detect the blood itself but it can see the mildly radioactive material that is in the blood, so the cardiologist is able to get an actual inside view of the arteries that my be obstructed.

A Course of Treatment

After the test is completed, a complete report is then written up detailing the results of the test. With this report a physician can then determine and prescribe a course of treatment that can include medication and exercise or surgery. Without the test, and subsequent report however, arterial blockage of the coronary arteries can be and often is fatal.

Personal Stress Reliever Handheld Device

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008
Kristi Ambrose asked:


Most of us have experienced stress at least one time in our lives, and for those of us that have experienced we know that it is nothing to joke about. Stress can cause problems such as sleep disorders, eating problems, headaches, even really serious things like heart problems. The problem with stress is that it’s almost impossible to not involve yourself with it because stress is everywhere. Many every day scenarios can cause people great stress levels such as money problems, work, and even your children (yeah imagine that!), etc. Fortunately, there is a new handheld device out called the emWave Heart Math systems.

The Heart Math Systems has been proven to not only reduce stress but to reduce other things such as fatigue, and sleep problems, which is caused by stress. Not only does the Heart Math System reduce stress, but it in turn turns the stress into increased energy by synchronizing your nervous system and analyzing your heart rhythms. People that use the EmWave (which is the newest version of this device) have reported that they have benefited from the following:

Reduced Stress

Increase of Energy

Emotional Balance

Mental Clarity

Restful Sleep

I don’t know about you, but for me personally, just reading those few benefits really make me want to go out and buy one of these little gadgets right now. Which by the way in case you were curious, cost around $200 to $300. I know that may seem a little steep, but imagine all the incredible benefits you will be receiving from this! The positive benefits of the EmWave have been documented in several journals including: American Journal of Cardiology, Stress Medicine, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Preventive Cardiology, Integrative Physiological and Behavioral Science and Harvard Business Review.

Heart disease has assumed great magnitude as an endemic health problem. Cardiology field has seen significant efforts in clinical research in the past few years with the development of new drugs and surgical modalities of therapy as well. However, the mortality rates remain very high. In this context, stem cell applications in cardiology assume great significance since stem cells have been found to be successfully used in tissue regeneration. Heart disease, including myocardial infarction and ischemia, can be treated with the applications of stem cells.

The concept of stem cell transplantation to regenerate the myocardium and better the working of the heart has received a great deal of attention in recent times. Small-scale studies in the pre-clinical and clinical stages support the use of stem cells in treating heart disease. However similar such studies must be carried out on a larger-scale to corroborate the findings and prove stem cell therapy as a viable alternative method of treating patients with heart disease.

The global market for Stem Cells in Cardiology is projected to reach about US$ 3.5 billion by 2012. Adult stem cells market is the largest tapped market while cord blood and embryonic stem cell markets, though with huge market potential, are still in infancy stages. Embryonic stem cells to treat cardiac disorders is a very interesting area of research. However, due to various ethical issues, this area is mired in debates all over the world.
