L-Acyl-Carnitine Therapy for Hepatic Encephalopathy.

Posted on May 23, 2008 by Dr. Gary Pack

Advanced liver disease, such as cirrhosis, can cause disability and death from hepatic encephalopathy (HE.) This is characterized by abnormal brain function, from memory loss to coma. Current treatments are hampered by ineffectiveness and side effects. Ammonia from liver dysfunction can pass easily through the blood-brain barrier to cause symptoms of the nervous system. L-acyl-carnitine […]

How to Elevate Night Time Growth Hormone Release.

Posted on March 29, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Growth hormone (GH) is the major hormone in the human body that maintains healthy muscle status (anabolic hormones such as GH build up living cells). In adulthood, GH levels gradually decline in humans. The author of this article proposes a new, patented technique for increasing night-time GH release by using 25-100 mg. l-ornithine and 500 […]

Peripheral Neuropathy and Neuropathic Pain.

Posted on October 3, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Peripheral neuropathy is most commonly caused by diabetes mellitus and neuropathy doubles the risk of amputation in diabetics. Evening primrose oil is a source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA.), which leads to more eicosanoids that dilate blood vessels in the diabetic. Eicosanoids also cause an improvement of nerve function as evidenced by improved nerve conduction testing. […]

Parkinson’s Disease and Oxidative Neurodegeneration.

Posted on March 10, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common human movement disorder. Oxidative damage is seen in brain cells (neurodegeneration) in PD. Specific areas of the brain are involved, such as the substantia nigra (SN) of the brain, which is sensitive to oxidation and is often abnormal in PD. Nerves of the SN have dopamine activity. Most […]

The Metabolic Tune-up for Disease Prevention.

Posted on February 11, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

It would be worthwhile for societies to improve their people’s health, especially the poor and elderly, by increasing the intake of micronutrients and metabolites, which could be done at a very low cost. Though Dr. Ames supports the idea that deficiency states are relieved by Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA’s), this doesn’t address the higher vitamin […]

Posted on January 11, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

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 […]
