A meta-analysis of 15 randomized trials with over 11 thousand participants suggest that taking calcium supplements without also taking vitamin D can increase the risk of myocardial infarction. The findings, prepared by Dr. Mark J. Bolland of University of Auckland, New Zealand and colleagues, imply that additional study should be performed to reconsider the role of calcium supplements in managing osteoporosis.

Who Is Writing the Medical “Standard of Practice Guidelines”? Prepare to Be Shocked (But Not Really)

BY:
Published: October 21, 2012
Categories:

Ever wonder where the medical guidelines that physicians use come from? One would hope that they would be based predominantly on the public's best interest, and on science. But they're not. Very often (especially when a lot of money rides on the outcome) the guidelines come from committees of groups such as the American Heart Association or the American College of Cardiology. And a recent study in the British Medical Journal showed that over half of the experts serving on these committees had a conflict of interest — meaning that they were on the payroll of the drug companies!

There are hundreds of studies that show the benefits of eating dark chocolate. Many show that it can decrease the risk of heart disease (lowering blood pressure, boosting good HDL cholesterol, and even helping prevent a second heart attack after a first). There's also a study showing dark chocolate can boost energy in CFS.

Children given additional vitamin D were approximately 30% less likely to have Type 1 diabetes in later life vs. those not given the supplement, according to the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis reported in the March 2008 issue of the Archives of Disease in Childhood. The study looked at 4 case-control studies which showed a decreased risk for Type 1 diabetes in 1,429 cases with vitamin D supplementation vs. 5,026 controls.

Cholesterol Meds (Statins) May Increase Risk of Diabetes

BY:
Published: October 21, 2012
Categories:

I consider the benefits of most medications used to lower cholesterol (called "statin medications") to be modest at best in those without known heart disease (called "primary prevention"). These medications lower heart attack death risk by less than 2%. To put this in perspective, having thyroid levels be optimal (even when normal) is associated with a 69% lower risk of heart attack death and even owning a cat is associated with a 30% lower risk. Despite these minimal benefits, their being relatively expensive (costing the health care system over $12 billion per year), and aggravating pain and fatigue in some patients, they are being heavily pushed — even being heavily marketed to pediatricians now.

Prevent Diabetic Neuropathy with Vitamin D

BY:
Published: October 21, 2012
Categories:

It's been known for years that low blood levels of vitamin D are linked to a higher risk for developing diabetes. Two new studies show that even if you already have diabetes, you still need more vitamin D — in this case to lower your risk of developing nerve pain (diabetic neuropathy). Nerve pain is also common in fibromyalgia — so it's good to be sure to get 1,000-2,000 units of vitamin D each day.
