SAMe again:
This compound has so many amazing properties that I seem to be unable
to stop writing about it. It's real name is S-adenosylmethionine, SAMe
for short. The "American Journal of Medicine" published a
series of articles on the use of SAMe for treating osteoarthritis. It
concluded that SAMe works as well as the most popular arthritis treatments
on the market. For arthritis treatment, SAMe is generally recommended
ast levels of 200 to l200 mg per day for approximately 21 days, until
relief of symptom occurs.
RIBOSE:
Ribose is a sugar. It's a peculiar kind of sugar. Ribose is found in
all living cells and is the starting point, the starting point mind
you, for what has been called "the powerhouse of the cell."
This "powerhouse" is called ATP or adenosine triphosphate.
Those of use who paid attention in school to our biological chemistry
classes and physiological chemistry classes were fascinated by the description
of the way energy is produced in the cell for all of our functions through
the "explosion" of adenosine triphosphate.
Now the starting
point of that most important compound has been isolated and manufactured
so that everyone can feel the energy that sugar is supposed to give
us. This sugar does not, I repeat, does not produe hyperglycemia.
Recent research
shows that giving ribose to people suffering from myocardial ischemia,
or inadequate blood flow to the heart, greatly increases energy in the
heart muscle. In one placebo-contolled study of 20 men with documented
severe coronary artery disease, the heart's tolerance to heavy exercise
improved after three days' treatment with 60 grams of ribose daily.
Ordinarily the body produces ribose from glucose slowly. Therefore it
cannot produce ATP quickly. As a consequence, recovery from strenuous
exercise is retarded. A study found that administration of ribose fully
restored ATP levels in 12 hours vs. 72 hours without supplementaton.
ASTHMA??
Exercise induces
an asthma attack in some asthmatics. A recent study assessed the effects
of natural beta-carotene supplements on airway hyperactivity in a group
of 38 asthmatics with exercise-induced asthma.
Lung function was
measured before, during, and after an exercise session in all the study
participants. The group was randomly assigned to a one-week course of
placebo supplements or beta-carotene. Lung function before, during,
and after exercise was measured again. Those taking the placebo for
one week, as would be expeced showedf impaired lung function after the
exercise session. In the beta-carotene group, however, 53% of the individuals
were protected against exercise induced asthma.
WE WISH YOU THE
BEST OF HEALTH!!!
