Grapefruit Juice and Cardiovascular Drugs.

Posted on March 23, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Grapefruit juice can interfere with the metabolism of a number of pharmaceutical drugs and can interfere with the metabolism to such an extent that the blood levels of the drugs go quite high. Grapefruit is known to interfere with a number of drugs that are used for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Grapefruit slices […]

The Mediterranean Diet.

Posted on March 13, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Keys, et al, discovered low rates of coronary heart disease 50 years ago in the Mediterranean area. Fat intake in this area was high but was mostly olive oil. Feeding studies showed that monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats reduced LDL, reduced triglycerides, and increased HDL cholesterol (beneficial effects). These benefits were stronger in people who had […]

Lithium in Brain Injuries and Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Posted on March 3, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Previous studies in both animals and humans have shown evidence for the benefit of lithium in acute brain injury (such as stroke) and in chronic brain disease (like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s disease.) Brain injury from lack of oxygen was reduced in rats by 56% when they were pre-treated with lithium. Recent research […]

The use of supplements can prolong and restore brain activity in humans. Two important factors in brain degeneration are free radical damage and mitochondrial decline, with resulting energy failure. Mitochondria in cells generate about 90% of a cells energy by way of a chain of chemical reactions called the citric acid cycle and mitochondria are […]
