| If we were to add 100 mg of niacinamide to every person's diet, there would be a major decrease in the incidence of schizophrenia and many other diseases, including cardiovascular and
7 coronary disease, Huntington's and Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and senility, arthritis and certain addictions, stress disorders and various cancers, as well as the classic vitamin B-3 deficiency disease, pellagra.
There are two main forms of vitamin B-3, nicotinic acid, known medically as niacin, and nicotinamide, known medically as niacinamide. |

 A majority of these reports focus on the antioxidant characteristics of flavonoid-rich diets and their enhancement of cardiovascular health. However, a growing number of reports in the pharmacology literature characterize flavonoid interactions with cellular components implicated in neurological pathologies and cancer. As the effective flavonoid concentrations employed in pharmacological studies utilizing cell cultures are often orders of magnitude higher than the serum concentrations seen in humans, some discrimination is required when interpreting these reports. |

 REPPED: Watching video on a portable video player is a great way to make the time fly by while engaged in cardiovascular exercise. So I recently decided to try out the new Archos 705 WiFi digital video recorder and player to see how well it work as a portable video device to use in the gym while exercising. This article contains my review.
Archos calls their 705 WiFi device a "generation 5" device and claims to have conquered "at least five major technological breakthroughs. |

 What is not so widely known is that, as a group, psychotherapeutic drugs, along with cardiovascular medications, have been the primary source of Big Pharma's profits over the last two decades. Collectively, central nervous system drugs, of which psychiatric drugs are the primary component, are among the fastest-growing segments of the world market. CNS diseases, which include Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well as psychiatric diseases, are, well, hot. They represent dream marketing opportunities for drug makers, for a number of reasons. |
| People with NMS can die of pneuomonia, renal failure, seizures, respiratory failure, and cardiovascular collapse.
Betty didn't die, but she never came all the way back. Although she gradually became conscious, everything wasn't the same as before. She was put on another antipsychotic and closely monitored, but things were never the same. She returned to the residence but it didn't work out. She was slower, dumber, more tentative, and scared. A sort of permanent fuzziness set in, and she couldn't keep the voices at bay. The cigarettes and soap operas didn't matter. She wasn't well. |
| In fact, many common illnesses—diabetes, HIV/AIDS, forms of hepatitis, cardiovascular disease—do not conform to that model whatsoever. The fact remains that most major psychiatric illnesses are episodic but chronic. The medications, as we have learned, are a long way from providing any true remediation of even major psychiatric disorders. Recovery then involves both a coming to terms with symptoms—one hopes in the context of their gradual moderation, but this is not always the case—and finding a meaningful life in their midst. |

| If this process is not inhibited in time, it will lead to increased levels of triglycerides in the blood, higher levels of cholesterol, and eventually serious cardiovascular risk. It is known that rats subjected to stress experience increased levels of blood cholesterol and triglycerides. A Californian study showed that in accountants, the levels of these lipids rose before tax deadlines, showing the extreme sensitivity of lipid level to stress.

| Enough is known about the biochemical effects of niacin for us to say that niacin exerts a protective effect upon the basic chemistry that researchers believe cause many forms of cardiovascular disease."6
Clinical Evidence
Hypercholesterolemia
The discovery that niacin lowered cholesterol levels arose from research conducted by Professor Rudl Altschul, Chair, Department of Anatomy, University of Saskatchewan. Professor Altschul had found that rabbits developed hypercholesterolemia very rapidly if they were fed cooked egg yolk in a specially baked cake. |
| This figure is probably an underestimate since those with arthritis (20%), addictions (10%), schizophrenia (2%), learning and/or behavioral disorders (5% of children), cardiovascular disease, coronary disease, and stroke (30%), cancer (50%), or severe stress (unknown) would very likely improve if given more niacin. The addition of 100 mg of niacinamide to the public diet would enormously reduce human suffering and have a major impact on the unnecessary escalation of healthcare costs. |

 Do you really think a hospital staffed by doctors receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from drug companies is going to acknowledge that cardiovascular disease can be prevented without drugs by simply taking low-cost antioxidant vitamins?
Of course not. And that's why their press release about the antioxidant study is, in my opinion, a fantastic example of outrageous intellectual dishonesty in medicine today. These people are so intoxicated by drug money influence that they calculate statistics like drunken sailors and practice medicine like quacks. |

 There are also drugs used to treat diabetes-associated conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular concerns.
Currently, there are innovative new classes of drugs that target beta-cell dysfunction, a core cause of metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes. In fact, these drugs represent the most important advance in the drug treatment of diabetes in the past few years. These new drugs target incretins (which we explain below) and include glucagon-like peptide and dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitors. |

| And they're basing that conclusion on a study that actually showed the vitamins to be far better at preventing cardiovascular disease than any prescription drug!
How to lie with statistics
So how can anyone claim these vitamins are worthless when the study clearly shows a strong, significant health benefit in those who take the vitamins? It's simple: the results of the study can be made to look poor by counting the results of all the people who didn't take the vitamins! |

 The study clearly showed that women who took vitamins E and C experienced a statistically significant and rather remarkable reduction in risk of heart attacks (22 percent reduction), strokes (31 percent reduction) and other cardiovascular events. Yet the American Medical Association issued a press release implying that the study found antioxidants to be of no use whatsoever, and the mainstream media ran that as de facto news without bothering to assess whether the opinion of the AMA was, in fact, true. (And apparently without actually reading the study in question. |
| According to virtually all the headlines printed in major media outlets, this study found vitamins E and C to be utterly worthless in preventing cardiovascular disease and stroke. And yet, in reality, the study proved that those women who actually took the vitamins were protected to such a high degree than almost no pharmaceutical on the market can match their success! It's true: A pharmaceutical that reduced stroke risk by 31 percent while introducing no negative side effects would be considered a medical miracle. |

I've been looking for a quality sprayable vitamin product for a long time, and this is it! I like this spray because it avoid all the fillers and excipients used in vitamin pills and capsules, meaning it gets digested almost instantly (there's no bulk or fiber to have to break apart). The same company also has a product called New Focus that I also recommend. |

 The pasteurization kills all the beneficial microorganisms, and homogenization artificially modifies dairy fats in a way that ultimately harms the human cardiovascular system when consumed. Processed "mainstream" milk is also taken from dairy cows pumped up with antibiotics, rBGH (Bovine Growth Hormone) and usually treated very poorly in terms of ethics. Even the popular brands showing happy cows and claiming to be organic are under intense fire by the Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers. |

 This homogenization also makes milk fats dangerous to cardiovascular health. While I support the consumption of raw, unprocessed milk, I think that consuming processed, homogenized milk is dangerous to the health of infants, children and adults alike!

 In fact, the only side effects of cherries are all beneficial: Improved cardiovascular health, nervous system protection, reversal of gout and so on.
Cherries are 100% biocompatible with the human body (synthethic pharmaceuticals are not). Cherries are grown by nature and contain natural phytonutrients that your body recognizes. Pharmaceuticals on the other hand, are concocted in a laboratory and contain synthetic chemicals that are toxic to the liver, kidneys and brain. Which would you rather use as medicine? You can start using CherryFlex as natural medicine right now. |

 This is why cholesterol drugs have been scientifically proven worthless in preventing heart attacks or other fatal cardiovascular events.
Most drugs don't work on most people. Claims of benefits are highly exaggerated by reporting their relative percentage rather than absolute percentage of efficacy. For example, if two people out of 100 normally get breast cancer, and a drug causes that number to be reduced to one person out of 100, the drug company will claim a "50% reduction in breast cancer!" when, in reality, it's a 1% reduction across the population. |

 Scientific literature is clear that stem cells are indeed the basis for every organ, tissue, and cell produced in the human body, and it is possible that stem cells may be able to repair or replace damaged tissue, thereby reversing diseases and injuries such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and blood diseases, to name a few. But notice the wording, may be. We just don't know, and neither does Amatokin.
Research on adult stem cells, as well as on embryonic stem cells (though the latter is far more controversial), holds great potential. |
