Chelation Review.

Posted on February 24, 2017 by Dr. Gary Pack

Chelation is the formation of bonds between metals and other molecules. Chelation therapy is one way to remove the following toxic metals from the body: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. These metals cause chronic disease and can be removed from the body to prevent kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and neurological problems. Metals are bonded to […]

Role of Antioxidant Activity of Taurine in Diabetes.

Posted on June 26, 2010 by Dr. Gary Pack

Reactive oxygen species (free radicals) generated inside cells are believed to cause the complications of diabetes. In diabetes, levels of antioxidants decline in many tissues. Taurine is known to be therapeutic against free radicals. There is good evidence that taurine can reduce the complications of diabetes, possibly due to taurine’s antioxidant activity. Taurine increases insulin-mediated […]

Taurine-Diabetes Interaction.

Posted on June 26, 2010 by Dr. Gary Pack

Taurine is a sulfur amino acid which is the most common amino acid in mammals. Humans are made of 0.1% taurine by weight. Taurine is claimed to be the cause or the cure of many diseases. Taurine levels are high in brain, muscle and heart. Taurine levels are reduced in diseases. Humans make very little […]

Micronutrient Deficiencies in Heart Failure.

Posted on November 23, 2009 by Dr. Gary Pack

Heart failure is severely disabling, with high morbidity and mortality. Part of the problem is the heart’s constant need for a very large supply of raw materials to produce a great amount of energy. The heart is “rebuilt” from new chemicals every month. A deficiency of some nutrients is known to cause therapeutic failures, causing […]

Prebiotics and Synbiotics in Clinical Medicine.

Posted on August 14, 2009 by Dr. Gary Pack

Pharmaceutical medicine hasn’t solved problems with acute and chronic disease in spite of antibiotics. Little effort has been made to increase patient resistance to disease. Today’s global epidemic of chronic diseases includes arteriosclerosis/coronary heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Yet, there has been a shift away from a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and tubers rich […]

Mega-dose Folate for Symptomatic Atherosclerosis.

Posted on January 26, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Dr. Kurt Oster of Germany had a theory, thirty years ago, that xanthine oxidase (XO) enzyme was partly the cause of atherogenesis. He believed that folic acid was a XO inhibitor, mistakenly, and used folic acid to treat circulatory problems. (It was later found that a contaminant in the folic acid actually caused the XO […]

Conditionally Essential Nutrients in Cardiovascular Disease.

Posted on January 29, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Conditionally essential nutrients (CENs) are compounds produced in our bodies in sufficient amounts under usual conditions. The amount produced is not sufficient under the conditions of disease and these nutrients are required for recovery from disease. The primary CENs for cardiovascular disease are l-arginine, l-carnitine, propionyl-L-carnitine and CoQ-10 (ubiquinone.) These CENs are supported by extensive […]
