Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Grace, it's quite a confusing topic. When you go to a homeopath, depending on their training, they ask all your symptoms, they have to be very specific, and recommend different homeopathic remedies at exact dosages. They may even do kinesology, and iridology. It varies what school they went to. A Naturpath, usually is a N.D (naturopathic doctor) has more training with herbs, supplements, nutrition. But again, depends on the schooling they've had. I am sure though that homeopaths also have they same knowledge, but their main focus is homeopathic remedies. Everyone of them is different.

I use the Cyclomethicone as an air freshener. Sprayed it in my car the other day. Have a customer who is a teacher & she uses it in her class room. The regular linen sprays (some that I have used) have alcohol in them where the cylomethicone does not. This is just my opinion & not ment to offend anyone.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hi Mike, PA is a subset of rheumatoid arthritis that is characterized by additional symptoms - those of psoriasis. The definition is therefore a clinical one that is made when there is evidence of psoriasis such as in nail ridges or, of course, the telltale skin psoriasis. In my case, I was diagnosed with RA when I was still a teenager and that diagnosis remained until about 5 years ago (when I was about 50-51) and had developed deep ridges in my nails. Since then, other forms of psoriasis have appeared which further confirmed the new diagnosis of PA rather than RA. It is also possible to have several forms of arthritis at the same time. I also have bone loss (symptomatic of osteoarthritis) so I am technically diagnosed as having polyarthritis. Hope this helped rather than confused things. Kathy F.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Why not try to make smoothies with fruit using yogurt and/or kefir? My kids love the smoothies, and I couldn't get them to partake of kefir otherwise. In a blender with fruits and other added ingredients (such as honey), it becomes very smooth and creamy. Trishlil_joy <lil_joy69@...> wrote: I'm just starting to learn about all of this. Thereason I joined is because i tried to like yogurtbecause I really need the good baceria but i justcan't force myself to eat it. The texture and tastemakes me gag. I'm not sure that kefir would be betterbut I need to try.Is there a difference between the tase and texture ofthe milk grains versus the water grains? Does one workbetter than the other? If this gags me too is there away to make it better?thankslil_joy__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are >> the benefits of them? >> Thanks, >> Leigh Hi Leigh, Carnitine is a naturally occurring hydrophilic amino acid derivative, produced in the kidneys and liver and derived from meat and dairy products in the diet. It acts as a carrier of activated fatty acids over the mitochondrial inner membrane. It is present in all cell types, even in cells without mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation such as neurons and granulocytes and even in red blood cells, a cell type without mitochondria. Carnitine is required for the mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids and it stimulates mitochondrial metabolism. It decreases oxidative stress, protects against poisoning by neurotoxins and corrects mitochondrial, lipid and neurotransmitter receptor abnormalities in aging brain and heart. It stabilizes membranes, abolishes Ca2+-overload and stimulates the microcirculation in ischemia. It is involved in membrane repair, restores erythrocyte fluidity, enabling passage through capillaries. it stimulates the immune response and decreases inflammatory cytokines. Carnitine supplementation is used for inborn errors of metabolism, chronic fatigue syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, brain disorders, ADHD and many others. The acetyl group attached to acetyl-l-carnitine allows it to cross the blood brain barrier and gain direct access to the nervous system. Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids histidine and alanine. It is found in skeletal muscle, heart muscle, nerve tissue and brain. Many studies indicate that carnosine acts as an antioxidant. It may also act as a neurotransmitter. It retards lipid peroxidation and stabilizing cell membranes in the brain. it appears to funtion in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain and studies have shown that it can help with receptive language, auditory processing, socialization, awareness of surroundings, fine motor planning and expressive language.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 > > What is the difference between carnisine and carnitine? What are the benefits of them? At my house, carnitine was required for proper absorption of fats, B12, folic acid, TMG, and vitamin C. It also helps with low muscle tone. Carnosine helped with receptive language, altho not as much as it can for other kids. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Dana, Carnosine is an amino acid? I asked you about it earlier ... but I either missed your response ... or you didn't see the question ... but I was curious about it to. Wanted to give it a whirl with my son. How do you dose it?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 > Dana, > Carnosine is an amino acid? Yes > How do you dose it? I started with 1/2 capsule, which if I am remembering correctly, was 250mg. It tends to deplete zinc, so watch for that. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
