Lead and Cadmium and Oxidative Stress.

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are the most common toxic metals in our environment. Some pollution is natural, some occurs from man’s activities, such as coal and mineral oil burning, smelting, mining, alloy processing, paints, and other industrial processes. Also, Cd exposure is increasing because of increased recycling of electronic equipment. Pb and Cd are […]

Phytoremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Soils and Water.

Posted on March 21, 2009 by Dr. Gary Pack

Environmental pollution has been improved by reducing the original sources of the pollution. Phytoremediation (by plants which remove toxins) is a cost effective way to improve the damage to the environment. There are many plants which remove toxins from water or soil. These plants are called hyperaccumulators. This article is about the current state of […]

Nutrient Strategies to Enhance Skeletal Integrity.

Posted on November 19, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Osteoporosis is a bone disorder with reduced bone strength and high risk of fractures. The current epidemic of osteoporosis has resulted in new attempts to improve bone health with a focus on determination of risk for fractures and on finding treatments. Bone mineral density (BMD) is a good measure of fracture risk. There is no […]

Antioxidants in Arsenic and Cadmium Toxicity.

Posted on April 19, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Arsenic and cadmium toxicity are serious sources of illness with exposure coming through food, water and industrial sources. Arsenic toxicity causes skin lesions, anemia, increased heart and vascular disease, diabetes and liver damage. Cadmium alters kidney function, causes osteoporosis and osteomalacia and increases cancer risk. S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), alpha-lipoic acid, glutathione, selenium, zinc, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), methionine, […]
