Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Norm, Thanks for the excellent info. This is the sort of thing that might make a trip to the supplement store interesting.On Mar 3, 2006, at 9:17 AM, PozHealth wrote:Post-mortem and liver biopsy studies have shown that more than 80% of people with HIV have "non-alcoholic fatty liver." Fatty liver deregulates lipid metabolism and eventually leads to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. The "Diet for Metabolic Syndrome" you posted lists Betaine as a treatment. I previously posted a study by the Mayo Clinic, reproduced below, which showed 6 grams per day of Betaine, a metabolite of Choline and a methyl-donor, was very effective in reducing fat deposits in the liver after one year of treatment. There was a reduction in liver enzymes after only one month of usage. I take Betaine in eight 750 mg tablets divided into two doses. It smells fresh and if you suck on it, slightly acidic and citrus. I have found it to be very effective. Barrowpozbod@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Anhydrous Betaine is also available as a prescription drug, in an oral powdered form, for treating elevated homocystine levels. Just in case you wish to pay more for the same thing. http://www.drugs.com/pdr/BETAINE_ANHYDROUS.html An immense quantity of Anhydrous Betaine is used each year in animal feed for chicken, cattle, and fish. Betaine increases the lean meat to fat ratio in animals, increases lean muscle growth, and reduces the number of animals which fall prey to disease. > > > Post-mortem and liver biopsy studies have shown that more than 80% of > > people with HIV have " non-alcoholic fatty liver.
