Chitosan

Nature’s “Fat Grabber”

ChitosanChitosan is a weight-loss aid from the sea. Chitosan, a fibrous material derived from the outer shell(exoskeleton) of crustaceans, absorbs dietary fat and carries it through the G.I. tract without being digested. Chitosan also helps lower cholesterol levels. Unlike dangerous and ineffective diet drugs which have marginal weight-loss benefits, chitosan has proven more effective for weight loss. It also has been shown to lower blood pressure in weight loss studies.

Chitosan is also effective in kidney disease and kidney failure, helping prevent further deterioration of function.

Dosage: For weight loss, take 6 capsules at the beginning of a high-fat meal. Be sure to drink 8 ounces of water with each dose. For kidney failure, 3-6 caps, 3 times per day between meals or as directed by a physician.

Dr. Myatt’s Comment: Use with high-fat meals. Great support formula for weight loss plans. Because your body needs certain fats (Essential Fatty Acids), and fat-soluble vitamins, chitosan is not recommended for use at every meal, only high-fat meals.

Each capsule contains:

Serving Size: 4 capsules
Servings Per Container: 45

Amount Per Serving:

  • LipoSan ULTRA™ (high density chitosan marine fiber concentrate) 1000 mg
  • Citric Acid 300 mg
  • Lipase (3000 lipase units) 100 mg

Other Ingredients: gelatin, vegetable stearate

Contains ocean shrimp, soybean, wheat

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 4 capsules with 8 ounces of water, three times daily, before or immediately after meals, or as directed by a doctor.

L-Lysine

An Essential Amino Acid

Amino acids have many functions in the body. They are the building blocks for all body proteins – structural proteins that build muscle, connective tissues, bones and other structures, and functional proteins in the form of thousands of metabolically active enzymes

Amino acids provide our body with nitrogen that is essential for growth and maintenance of all tissues.

Because our body can’t make lysine, we must get it in the foods we eat. In people for whom wheat (breads) is the predominant food staple, lysine deficiency can occur, because only small amounts of lysine are found in grain.

Low dietary lysine may lead to overall protein deficiency symptoms, such as a compromised immune system and failure to grow, and also to heightened levels of stress and anxiety.

In the April 2004 issue of the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,” researchers reported that supplementing cereal-based diets with lysine reduced chronic anxiety and stress in a population that consumed wheat as a primary diet component. This suggests that Lysine supplementation may improve your mental well-being if this amino acid is lacking in your diet.

Though conventional medicine tries to claim there is no proof, many people report great success in using L-lysine to combat the herpes simplex virus that produces common “cold sores” and genital herpes sores. Lysine exerts it’s antiviral effects by inhibiting the replication of the herpes simplex virus. By holding the virus in check L-lysine may decrease the number of cold sores or genital herpes outbreaks, and it may also help the sores heal more quickly. Users find that supplementing with 1 to 3 grams of lysine each day may limit recurrences, and taking it as soon as symptoms are noticed may reduce the length of time that herpes outbreaks last.

Since the virusis similar, some practitioners and researchers feel that L-lysine may have a beneficial effect toward reducing outbreaks of herpes zoster or “shingles.”

There is also evidence that L-lysine may be helpful in alleviating post-herpetic neuralgia.

L-lysine can help the gastrointestinal tract absorb calcium and reduce how much of this mineral is excreted in urine. Supplementing with both lysine and arginine, another protein-building amino acid, stimulates the cellsthat build new bone tissue. This combination of amino acids can also increase the synthesis of collagen, a structural protein important in maintaining the health of connective tissue, including cartilage, tendons and skin.

It should be noted that arginine is contra-indicated for those with the herpes virus as it can precipitate herpes outbreaks.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR A RADIATION EMERGENCY?

Potassium Iodide (KI) Can Shield You From Thyroid Cancer

With 103 active commercial nuclear reactors in the United States, we live in constant threat of a nuclear emergency every day. A terrorist attack on any one of these facilities, or the release of a “dirty bomb” is also a possibility in today’s “highly charged” world. In fact, in an emergency, if you live within 200 miles of a nuclear reactor, you have a high risk of being exposed to significant doses of radioactive isotopes. In the event of a nuclear accident or attack radioactive materials can be released into the atmosphere, a high percentage of which is radioactive iodine. When a radioactive iodine cloud passes through a populated area, the radiation is concentrated into the thyroid gland of those exposed. The result is irreparable damage to the thyroid, which can lead to cancer. The 1986 Chernobyl accident in the Ukraine is a tragic example.

The best protection against thyroid damage and thyroid cancer induced by radioactive iodine exposure is Potassium Iodide. This simple compound protects the thyroid by saturating all of the iodine binding sites in the gland, leaving no room for the binding of radioactive iodine. Potassium Iodide is a low-cost way to protect yourself and your family against the long-term consequences of exposure to radiation. When used correctly, potassium iodide tablets can prevent or reduce the amount of radioactive iodine taken up by the thyroid gland. Even the government and the military stocks up on potassium iodide in case of nuclear disaster.

The body can’t distinguish between radioactive and the benign version of iodine, which is necessary for thyroid function. Taking 130 mg of potassium iodide, the dosage widely recommended for the blocking of radioactive iodine in the event of a nuclear disaster, can quickly and completely protect the thyroid gland, which is one of the organs most commonly damaged by radioactive fallout. Dr. Myatt’s Wellness Club offers a supplement that contains 14 x 130 mg tablets of potassium iodide. Tablets are scored for easy breakage in the case of any need for dosages smaller than 130 mg, as recommended for children and pets.

How many packages do you need?

The FDA recommends that you have one package per person available.* Remember that during an emergency, you may not be able to get to your home, thus it is recommended to have packages stored in several places as well. Since the shelf life of this product is virtually unlimited, you should have to purchase your supply only once. Have this on hand for your family, and remember the children, pets, grandchildren, too!

* To view home preparation procedures for emergency administration of potassium iodide, visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/cder/drugprepare/kiprep.htm Only take potassium iodide tablets when guided by health officials in your area and follow guidelines included with each bottle.

Skin Rejuvenation Protocol

The skin (integument) is the body’s first line of defense in protection from the external environment. If it also one of the first things people notice about us. Healthy skin is both a cosmetic blessing and a sign of a healthy underlying system, yet few people know how best to take care of this important organ. Let’s focus on some of the most important things we can do to protect this amazing bit of our architecture!

A Basic Regimen for Skin Care

    1. Nutrition: Beauty from the Inside Out. Healthy skin requires water, essential fatty acids and nutrients to be truly healthy. No amount of topical cosmetics will make up the difference to skin that is under-nourished. The skin requires the following:

A.) Water ! The body is 60% or more water. Even a subtle dehydration makes lines and wrinkles appear deeper, whereas being well hydrated “plumps” skin and minimizes the appearance of lines. Drink 64 ounces of PURE water per day, especially in the Summer,

B.) UV Light: Small amounts of UV are beneficial to the skin, but excess amounts can cause premature aging and contribute to skin cancer. Ten minutes of early-morning sun several times per week is sufficient for skin health. Beyond that, always wear a UVA/UVB sunscreen with an SPF of 15, especially on the face.

C.) Smoking (and second-hand smoke): Causes a constriction of the small blood vessels that bring nutrients to the skin, depriving skin of both water, vitamins and minerals, and fatty acids. Smoking is one of the absolute WORST things you can do to skin. Don’t go there!

D.) Nutrients:

  1. Multiple Vitamin/Mineral Supplements: An optimal vitamin/mineral/trace mineral formula such as Maxi Multi supplies the important micronutrients required for healthy skin.
  2. Essential fatty Acids: The skin needs essential fats from the inside out to stay moisturized. EFA’s are supplied by flaxseed oil, flaxseed meal, or fish oil. Be sure to take 1-2 TBS of flax oil or 3 Caps of fish oil per day, and include fatty fish such as salmon in the diet twice per week. (You’ll learn more about Essential fats in upcoming installments of The New Keto Diet).
  3. Grape seed extract: 50-100 mg, 2-3 times per day is an optional “metanutrient” that aids the skin by improving collagen formation (the underlying structural material of skin) AND by acting as a potent antioxidant to protect skin from oxidation. (The human equivalent of “rust”!)
    1. A Basic Regimen for Skin Care

I.) Cleanse: The purpose is to gently remove surface debris without stripping natural oils. Most soaps are highly alkali and strip skin of natural oils. Wash skin twice per day in a mild soap like Dove or Ivory (both are highly recommended by many dermatologists).

II.) Skin Cream: Proven ingredients helpful for topical application include antioxidants (A,C,E, alpha lipoic acid) in a form that is easily absorbed by the skin (micronized). Glycolic acid helps break down old cells so they can be replaced more quickly with new cells from beneath. DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) helps firm sagging skin, NaPCA aids moisture retention and Sunscreens that protect from UVA, UVB, and UVC are all useful in keeping skin radiant.

I have found it difficult if not impossible to find a good cream that contains all of these important ingredients until now. Rejuvenex is the first cosmetic preparation that I am aware of to combine the finest, proven ingredients into one easy formula. You can try to duplicate all of these skin essentials yourself, but you will be working hard and paying far more for the individual preparations. (Believe me, I know from experience. That’s how I’ve been making my own cream until now!).

In order to introduce you to the benefits of this formula, plus help you get started on a skin rejuvenation and protection program of your own (especially important as the Summer sun heats up), we have special-purchased Rejuvenex so we can offer it to you at a lower introductory price.

This cream is rich, wonderful, contains “all the right stuff” as listed above, and more, and a little goes a long way. You need only apply it morning and evening to get great results. Both men and women will benefit. As an alternative, you can do as I was doing and mix your own ingredients, just be sure to include the above-listed items for best results.

What Natural Medicine Can Do for You — That Conventional Medicine Can’t

Modern conventional medicine performs amazing “heroic” care. If your broken body is found at the site of a serious car accident, conventional medicine’s ability to air-lift you to a hospital, CT scan you, set and pin broken bones, and keep you on life-support while you heal is what high-tech conventional medicine does best. And we are great at that — probably some of the best in the world.

But modern conventional U.S. medicine is NOT the best at everything. It it NOT the best solution for most day-to-day problems and most diseases. If it were, we would have some of the longest life expectancy — and health expectancy —- in the world. Yet here’s what the statistics show about health in the U.S.A.:

  • Americans spend 17+% of their GNP for health care, more than any other country in the world.
  • Life expectancy in America ranks 49th in the world, lagging far behind many countries who spend far less than we do for health (disease) care. (1)
  • Sixty-eight percent (two-thirds!) of Americans are overweight, thirty-three percent of these SEVERELY overweight (obese). (2)
  • Over ten million Americans take anti-depressants.
  • 50 percent of people over 85 will have Alzheimer’s Disease.
  • * Someone dies of heart disease every 34 seconds.
  • * One in six Americans suffers from an Anxiety Disorder.
  • * One in six Americans is either pre-diabetic or diabetic.

Modern medicine is an all but complete failure at curing or controlling chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and anxiety/depression. Instead, the best conventional medicine can offer is a temporary “patch” for the major diseases of our time. In many instances, such as cancer treatment, the “medicine” often kills the patient before the disease would.

Beyond Conventional Drugs and Surgery — Natural Medicine Treats the Cause, Not Just the Symptom

Natural medicine and lifestyle counseling can prevent and reverse disease. This is because natural medicine looks for the cause of disease instead of merely treating symptoms. For example: depression has never been shown to be caused by a Prozac deficiency! But B complex vitamin deficiencies, lack of precursor amino acids (which are necessary to manufacture neurotransmitters), food allergies, heavy metal or other toxicities and emotional factors can all cause depression. Why mask a problem when the cause can be found and corrected? Genuine cure is more profound and certain than a Band-Aid will ever be.

Natural Medicine Treats the Patient, Not the Disease

No two people with the same disease have that disease for the exact same reason. Therefore, there can be no effective “one size fits all” medicine, yet this is how we are trained to treat people in the conventional medical model. For example: one person with irritable bowel syndrome is suffering because of a food allergy. Another may have the exact same diagnosis because of a lack of gastric acid function. A third may have IBS because of a yeast overgrowth in the colon. Yet the drugs prescribed for each of these patients is the same. Does this seem right to you?

Dr. Myatt Isn’t “Against” Drugs! (Especially Safe and Effective Ones)

Dr. Myatt practice complementary, integrative medicine, which means that she will use or recommend the best available treatment from both conventional and natural medicine. When  a drug or surgery seems like the best option, that is the advice she will give you.

If in her opinion you will benefit from a drug, that is what she will recommend and prescribe.

So often, however, our conventional drugs and treatments cause more harm than good. As a Naturopathic Medical Doctor, Dr. Myatt is trained to look for the cause of disease. Once the cause is known, there is opportunity for a genuine cure. The cure almost always entails natural methods, such as good nutrition, eliminating aggravating factors and restoring the body to a state of balance. These things are rarely if ever accomplished by drugs alone.

Dr. Myatt Finds “The Rest of The Story” that Modern Medicine Overlooks

If a person has a clear-cut set of symptoms, conventional medicine is good at giving the problem a name. We call this “diagnosis.” Just because we have named the problem does not imply that we know the cause, and in conventional medicine, it doesn’t even mean that we continue to look for a cause. You suffer from arthritis? There — we’ve got a name and we have a small collection of drugs that we will try until you feel pain relief. When your pain stops, our work is done. If none of our drugs stop your pain, oh well, we’ll just keep trying different drugs in different combinations.

The problem with this method of diagnosis and treatment is several-fold. First, because we are treating symptoms and not the cause, we might not be able to “cure” the problem with any of our available drugs. Secondly, since the treatment is a band-aid and doesn’t address the cause, the underlying problem is still going on with all the associated negative physical consequences. Finally, the drugs themselves usually have adverse consequences, up to and including death. Conventional treatment might offer some temporary pain relief, but at what cost?

Dr. Myatt looks for “the rest of the story.” If your diagnosis is arthritis, wouldn’t you like to know why your joints are deteriorating? The “wear and tear” theory has never been proven to be a cause of arthritis. Elderly marathon runners suffer far less arthritis than age-matched non-exercisers.

Is it a lack of bone and joint nutrients in the diet? An excess of inflammatory substances in the blood (which also increases heart disease and cancer risk)? A food allergy? Excess of a toxic substances or heavy metals? Once the underlying cause or causes are found, we not only have a better idea of how to stop pain, we have a genuine shot at a cure. And the side effects from natural remedies are that other complaints are often also corrected! Good things happen when we look for and treat the cause of a problem, not just the symptoms.

When No One Knows What’s Wrong

In conventional medicine, if your complaint fits into a neat little category that we can give a name to, we also know the drugs or surgeries that we are supposed to prescribe. They are in “the doctor cookbook.” But what if you have vague or unusual symptoms that don’t fit into any existing diagnosis?

If you have good insurance, you’ll get ATKTM — All Tests Known To Man (or all tests know to modern medicine). You may find yourself being CAT-scanned for an irritable bowel complaint and MRI’d for joint pains. Such ATKTM only rarely finds an anatomical cause for disease, and it NEVER locates a functional cause of disease.

Diagnostic tests are supposed to complement the doctor’s comprehensive evaluation, helping to “rule in” or “rule out” a suspected cause. Today, however, many physicians order tests in lieu of careful case study and patient evaluation. This “hit and miss” method of diagnosis is expensive, time-consuming and rarely productive. And when ATKTM comes back negative and you still have the complaint, then what? For conventional doctors it’s time to give you a “head med,” because if modern medical tests haven’t shown anything, the problem must be in your head.

The natural medical approach, which is Dr. Myatt’s approach, is to do a meticulous case study. By reviewing your symptoms, lab work, lifestyle and diet histories, family and personal medical histories, she is able to develop a solid “rule out” list of possible causes of your complaint.

Next, medical tests are ordered if they will rule in or out each of the items on the list. Like peeling the layers of an onion, she carefully explores the potential causes of your complaint until she finds it. In rare cases finding a cause is impossible, but most times it is merely difficult!

Using a combination of both conventional and alternative diagnostic measures, Dr. Myatt is able to find answers for many people who have been “given up on” by conventional medicine.

Why Dr. Myatt is The Doctor of First Resort — Prevention is Easier than Cure

Or stated differently, “If it ain’t broke, fix it before it breaks!”

Dr. Myatt and her team specialize in Health Optimization — making diet, lifestyle and other changes to prevent disease before it can establish a foot-hold.

Why wait until you have diabetes to make positive diet changes? Early signs, symptoms and lab abnormalities can predict your risk factors for many diseases years before they appear. The easiest time to correct a problem is before it even gets started. This is known as “preventive medicine,” and it is one of Dr. Myatt’s specialties. In the case of Health Optimization, a yearly review of your diet, symptoms, and lab results are recommended. From this, Dr. Myatt formulates a “Health Optimization Protocol” which is your personal guide to continued wellness for the coming year.

And Why She Is The Doctor of Last Resort — For “The Incurables” 

Prevention is always easier than cure, but perhaps you are past the point of prevention. If you already have a medical condition — even a serious one — Dr. Myatt can help. Her patients include people with advanced metastasized cancer, life-threatening heart conditions, autoimmune problems, neurological diseases and numerous other “incurable” problems.

With careful case-study and evaluation, Dr. Myatt makes health and life-saving recommendations to patients with all types of serious medical conditions.

Dr. Myatt’s patients have proven time and again that “where there’s life, there’s hope.”

Anti-Aging and Longevity Are Within Reach

Scientists estimate that the genetic lifespan of humans should be on the order of 120 years, yet the average US life expectancy for men and women is in the 70’s (and we rank 49th in the world for life expectancy).

For those who manage to live to 70’s 80’s and beyond, the way is often fraught with disease and disability for the last 20 or more years of life (the number of years of life spent in good health is known as “Health Span”). Why are we falling so short of our genetic potential for both lifespan and healthspan, in spite of the fact that we spend more on “health care” than any other nation on earth?

Modern medicine doesn’t really deliver “health care.” Instead, it is a model of “disease care,” waiting for a problem to happen  before taking action. Even then, the “action” taken is usually a Band-Aid instead of a cure. When it comes to prevention, health optimization and advanced methods of life extension, conventional medicine is woefully inadequate.

By identifying obstacles to good health and utilizing the vast body of longevity-enhancing techniques available, it is possible to extend both lifespan and healthspan. Much more is known about anti-aging and longevity than we currently utilize in conventional medicine.

Fortunately, alternative and complementary medical practices take advantage of this knowledge. Anti-aging and Longevity is one area of special interest and study for Dr. Myatt. She can help you know how to take advantage of your genetic potential for long life and good health.

You Can Consult Dr. Myatt In The Comfort of Your Home…. by Phone

Health Optimization requires careful medical detective work. Dr. Myatt evaluates your family history, personal past medical history, diet, lifestyle, risk factors, symptom profile and physiological stressors. She carefully reviews your laboratory reports and medical records, all pertinent medical data, and medications. Finally and most importantly, she listens carefully to your description of symptoms, complaints, and health goals. All of these factors are carefully weighed as Dr. Myatt and her medical team perform an exhaustive evaluation of your case.

Following your telephone consultation and case study by Dr. Myatt, you will receive your personalized Health Optimization Protocol. This report will include specific recommendations for diet, exercise, nutritional supplements, herbs and other conventional and/or complementary care — a complete “action plan” to put you on the path to Optimal Health, whether you are already healthy and looking to stay that way, or you suffer from a serious medical condition, or something in-between.

How Can Dr. Myatt Help Me Without Seeing Me in Person?

Dr. Myatt’s care does not replace your personal general physician. In fact, she insists that everyone have a personal family doctor in their local area. When the need arises, you should have someone locally who can listen to your lungs and heart with a stethoscope, perform routine examinations and stitch up boo-boos. Everyone needs a general family physician.

Dr. Myatt practices the advanced medical specialty of holistic and integrative medicine. Her evaluation of your case will go far beyond the type of medicine practiced conventionally. And because Dr. Myatt is also trained in conventional medicine, she can review and incorporate your conventional medical evaluations as part of your comprehensive work-up.

If you have asthma, for example, your local physician or health professional will have already listened to your lungs, referred your for breathing tests and prescribed medication. Dr. Myatt does not need to repeat this basic medical evaluation. She will, however, refer you to the appropriate type of medical practitioner when it appears that you have not had the complete “look” that should have been done. And she may suggest additional testing which has not been done by your conventional physician if it appears appropriate and necessary. This is all arranged by distance. Dr. Myatt writes prescriptions and lab orders for patients in every state and in countries around the world.

How Do I Enlist Dr. Myatt’s Services?

Use this link to schedule a brief telephone consultation. After you have completed purchase of your brief consultation, Dr. Myatt’s office will be in touch with you via email to schedule a time for this initial visit. Brief consultations can usually be scheduled quickly, usually within a matter of days.

All advanced patient programs begin with a brief telephone consultation. During this time, you will discuss your case with Dr. Myatt so that she can advise you as to which program / patient track is best suited to your unique situation.

If you elect to become a patient of Dr. Myatt’s after this initial visit, the cost of your brief phone consultation will be deducted from your program fees.

Next Steps: If You Are Accepted As a Patient

Before your initial one-hour intake visit, you will be asked to complete the following:

Patient information This form explains your relationship with Dr. Myatt, and how you will work together towards your best health ever.
Authorization to Release Medical RecordsThis form, signed and given to your other health care providers will allow them to send your medical records to Dr. Myatt for her study and analysis.
Patient Registration and Comprehensive IntakeThis form sounds simple, but here you will provide a great deal of information about yourself, your health, family history, medical history, diet, history of current illness and what you wish to achieve as you work together with Dr. Myatt.
Comprehensive Symptom SurveyThis 9 page health questionnaire and symptom survey will make you think hard. By completing it fully and honestly, you will provide Dr. Myatt with valuable insights to your body systems and clues to help her in her investigations as she develops your personalized Health Action Plan.

Copies of available medical records should be included (a records request form is included in case it is needed).

On the appointed day and time, Dr. Myatt will call you for your appointment. This initial “visit” is one hour long. Your Health Optimization Protocol will be mailed to you several days to a week later (to allow sufficient time for case study) and will contain a complete set of instructions and recommendations for everything needed to begin a healthier lifestyle.

Follow-Up and Ongoing Care

Everyone has different needs, hence the different levels of programs and services. A person with advanced heart disease or cancer will require much more contact and ongoing monitoring that a healthy person seeking to improve further on their good health. These factors are taken into account when Dr. Myatt advises which level of service your care requires.

Unless you are quite healthy and simply seeking expert advice on the best diet and nutritional supplement program, you will need to follow-up with Dr. Myatt via phone and internet (email) to insure proper execution of your program.

Adjustments and corrections may need to be made to your protocol, depending in large part on how you respond to treatment, your ability to follow the program as closely as possible, and other intervening factors. Dr. Myatt has taken the requisite follow-ups into account in the various levels of service she provides.

Your care will include follow-up and a “retainer”-based program for the email answers and other feedback you may need to keep you moving toward health at the fastest, most effective pace.

How Come Dr. Myatt Charges More Than Other Doctors?

She doesn’t. A specialist who sees you in-office for 15 minutes, for example, may charge $90. However, after you leave the office, this doctor spends no additional time reviewing your case.

Dr. Myatt will spend an initial hour discussing your health concerns, then she and her team go to work studying your case, including review of all relevant medical data. This “case study” typically takes from 4-12 hours depending on the nature and complexity of your health concerns. This often involves not just case study but also medical research on your behalf. Then and only then does Dr. Myatt create your “Recommendations,” a complete, written protocol for you to follow. When you consider the level of time, care and attention that each patient receives, Dr. Myatt’s fees are a bargain.

Why the “Retainer” and Pre-Paid Follow-Up Visits?

Dr. Myatt has found that the inclusive follow-ups and retainer program is in the best interest of her patients for the following reasons:

  1. Patients who have made a commitment are more likely to follow through. Follow-through produces positive results.
  2. Prevents “treatment failures.”  The initial recommendations are a solid “starting place” for good health, but the program must be adjusted and “tweaked” as circumstances change, new information becomes available and patient health improves.Some patients, after paying the initial consult fee, either drop out (fail to follow-through) because they don’t want to incur additional visit expenses OR because they expect unlimited email follow-up at no charge.By incorporating the predicted follow-up visits into program costs, patients are far more likely to follow-up. Making the necessary “course corrections” with Dr. Myatt’s careful guidance produces far better results than an initial visit with no follow-up.
  3. Get the answers you need — ALL of them. Your program fees include significant email follow-up. Got a question? No reason to stumble on your health program, get bad advice off the internet, or simply let a question go answered. All you have to do is email Dr. Myatt and she will respond with the information, assurance and guidance you need to keep you on track to a healthier life.
  4. Better cost predictions. How much will that “only $90” visit cost if you have to return to the doctor dozens of times over the same health concern? Costs for holistic care can add up to a big “unknown.” Although it is possible that a person may exceed their annual program allowance with Dr. Myatt, this is unusual. By having pre-paid for your care and follow-up, you can have a much better idea of what your advanced holistic care will cost.

Can Anyone Become a Patient? Why Does Dr. Myatt “Screen” New Patients?

Dr. Myatt is big on results, something even her advanced cancer patients will attest to.  Because of this, she is very particular about who she will accept as a patient. Only those who seem truly ready to put forth the necessary effort to get well, or improve health, are accepted.

And because each individual patient is given so much time and attention, Dr. Myatt must necessarily limit her services to only as many patients as she can truly devote herself to at any one time. When you are under Dr. Myatt’s care, you can rest assured that you are being watched over very carefully. She does not “spread herself thin” and accept more patients than she can be totally devoted to.

There are also some patients who have ideas and desires that would make them unsuited to Dr. Myatt’s method of practice.

For example, Dr. Myatt is a firm believer in scientific holistic medicine. She does not practice “esoteric” or unproven techniques although she is familiar with most of them. Patients who want “chakra balancing,” “aura cleansing” or recommendation of nutritional supplements by crystal pendulum dowsing would not be happy with Dr. Myatt’s highly scientific, well-researched and proven methods of practice.

How Dr. Myatt’s Health Optimization Program is Different from other Healthcare Practices

  • Dr. Myatt takes the time to listen. No “quickie” initial or follow-up visits. Dr. Myatt takes the time to truly listen to your symptoms, complaints, questions and health goals. She and her team also spend an extensive amount of time reviewing your individual case. Very few physicians — even holistic and naturopathic practitioners — spend so much time entirely devoted to each individual patient.
  • Dr. Myatt and Team perform an in-depth analysis for each patient. Our testing is typically more comprehensive than traditional laboratory testing. We use “optimal,” not just “normal” values for lab interpretation. We look beyond the bounds of conventional “disease diagnosis” and try to truly understand the underlying causes and imbalances contributing to an individual’s symptoms.
  • “Tolle causum” — treat the cause. We are totally devoted to discovering the “hidden causes” of your health challenges in a way that goes far beyond conventional medical diagnosis and treatment. From this, we develop a customized treatment plan exclusively for you. No two people, even with the same diagnosis, will have the same treatment plan because all of our work is highly individualized.
  • “Vis Medicatrix Naturae” — with the healing power of nature. The human body is, to a great extent, self-healing when given the proper conditions. We cooperate with nature by using TLC — Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes — and natural remedies to stimulate the body to heal itself.

Turmeric 500mg 60 caps

Powerful Cancer-fighting Herb
that drug companies are rushing to imitate.

An ever-growing body of scientific evidence demonstrates that turmeric — the bright yellow spice herb used in East Indian cooking — has potent anti-cancer properties. According to Bharat Aggarwal, chief of cytokine research at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the research to date shows that turmeric’s anti-cancer “promise is enormous.” This evidence and opinion was reported at the recent Society for Integrative Oncology conference and is also posted on the American Cancer Society’s website (www.cancer.org).

Turmeric, and it’s primary active ingredient curcumin, is the main ingredient in curry and a member of the ginger family. In addition to it’s anti-cancer properties, turmeric is a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting herb. Expect to see and read a lot more about this herb in the future, although Wellness Club members have known about the benefits of turmeric for over a decade!

Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory and Anti-Cancer Herb
TurmericTurmeric (also known as curcumin), the bright yellow root used for centuries as a cooking spice, is also a potent medicinal herb.

Turmeric is:
anti-inflammatory
antioxidant
liver-protective (on a par with milk thistle)
anti-tumorogenic (helps prevent and may even help reverse tumors)
and helps maintain normal blood viscosity.
What more could you ask for in a non-toxic, beautiful, fragrant herb?

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) This herb is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. An ever-growing body of evidence suggests that turmeric may both help prevent AND help reverse already-existing cancers.

Each High-Potency Capsule contains: 500 mg of turmeric, standardized to 95% curcuminoids. (475mg active curcuminoids).

Suggested dose 1 capsule, 2-3 times per day.

Fertility Restore CoQ10 100mg (60 softgel caps)

CoQ10 (ubiquinone)

Super-Energizer and Potent Antioxidant

CoQ10 is a naturally-occurring antioxidant produced in the human body. It is vitally involved in energy production. CoQ10 functions as an “energizer” to mitochondria, the body’s energy producing units. Mitochondria, which produce energy the body’s “energy currency,” ATP, require CoQ10 to “spark” their production of energy units (ATP). Muscles, and the heart in particular, have high requirements for CoQ10.

CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant beneficial for:

  • Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)
  • High Blood Pressure (1,3,4,14, 53, 55)
  • Neurological disease (Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s) (19-37)
  • Immune deficiency and AIDS (40-45,52)
  • Periodontal disease (38-39)
  • Cancer (40, 44-49)
  • Chemotherapy side-effects (50-52)
  • Diabetes (53-56)
  • Muscular dystrophy (57-58)
  • fatigue / chronic fatigue / fibromyalgia (59-61)
  • migraine headache (62-63)
  • enhancing athletic performance (64-68)
  • male infertility (69-73)

CoQ10 is produced by the body, but age, nutrient deficiencies, disease and some medications can lower the body’s CoQ10 levels. Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) deplete CoQ10. (15,54,74-77)

Studies have shown that the oil-preserved form is up to 3 times better absorbed than other forms. (78-80)

Although many claims are currently made for a “new” form (ubiquinol) being “more absorbable” than ubiquinone, this has never been proven or well-studied. Learn more about this issue here:Ubiquinone (CoQ10) versus Ubiquinol: Which Is Better?

CoQ10 and it’s use in CHF (Congestive Heart Failure):

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19966871
“… Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential for electron transport within the mitochondria and hence for ATP generation and cellular energy production. We recently demonstrated that plasma levels of CoQ10 are an independent predictor of survival in a cohort of 236 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) followed for a median of 2.69 years. This is consistent with previous studies which have shown myocardial CoQ10 depletion in CHF, and correlated with the severity of the underlying disorder. Several intervention studies have been undertaken with CoQ10 in CHF, including randomized controlled trials with mostly positive outcomes in relation to improvement in plasma levels of CoQ10. A meta-analysis showed that CoQ10 resulted in an improvement in ejection fraction of 3.7% (95%CI 1.59-5.77) and the mean increase in cardiac output was 0.28 L/minute (95%CI 0.03-0.53). In a subgroup analysis, studies with patients not taking ACE inhibitors found a 6.7% increase in ejection fraction. The ongoing Q-SYMBIO trial will address whether CoQ10 supplementation improves survival in CHF patients. CoQ10 depletion may also be a contributory factor for why statin intervention has not improved outcomes in CHF. There is an emerging evidence base in support of CoQ10 as an adjunctive therapy in CHF.”

http://faculty.washington.edu/ely/coenzq10.html
“…The majority of the clinical studies concerned the treatment of heart disease and were remarkably consistent in their conclusions: that treatment with CoQ10 significantly improved heart muscle function while producing no adverse effects or drug interactions. …”

Dr. Myatt’s Conclusion:
CoQ10 is beneficial for nearly every type of Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)

Suggested dose:

50-100 mg per day for health maintenance and anti-aging / longevity programs.

Vitaline, Vitamin E, and Vitamin E safety:

Some people (including some doctors) have a mistaken fear of Vitamin E, believing that “too much is dangerous.”

We have been unable to find any evidence in medical or scientific literature of any danger from taking large doses of Vitamin E. The National Institutes for Health (NIH) a US government authority places the maximum daily intake of Vitamin E at 1500 IU for healthy adults.

High intake of Vitamin E intake does tend to “thin” the blood, affecting coagulation by inhibiting platelet aggregation. People using antigoagulants or who bleed too easily may wish to discuss the use of Vitamin E with theri doctor.It has also been reported that Vitamin E in high doses may block the action of Vitamin K which is known as “the clotting factor.”

According to the label information and the Enzymatic Therapy website:

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 300 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 300 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 400 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 200 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

In order to achieve the daily intake of Vitamin E that you or your health care provider wish you to have you can either use a different tablet strength, either 300 or 400 mg to achieve 1200mg per day or mix your intake between Vitaline WITH and Vitaline WITHOUT Vitamin E to achieve your preferred daily intake of Vitamin E.

Vitaline Co-Q10 300 mg 60 chewable wafers With Vit. E

CoQ10 (ubiquinone)

Super-Energizer and Potent Antioxidant

CoQ10 is a naturally-occurring antioxidant produced in the human body. It is vitally involved in energy production. CoQ10 functions as an “energizer” to mitochondria, the body’s energy producing units. Mitochondria, which produce energy the body’s “energy currency,” ATP, require CoQ10 to “spark” their production of energy units (ATP). Muscles, and the heart in particular, have high requirements for CoQ10.

CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant beneficial for:

  • Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)
  • High Blood Pressure (1,3,4,14, 53, 55)
  • Neurological disease (Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s) (19-37)
  • Immune deficiency and AIDS (40-45,52)
  • Periodontal disease (38-39)
  • Cancer (40, 44-49)
  • Chemotherapy side-effects (50-52)
  • Diabetes (53-56)
  • Muscular dystrophy (57-58)
  • fatigue / chronic fatigue / fibromyalgia (59-61)
  • migraine headache (62-63)
  • enhancing athletic performance (64-68)
  • male infertility (69-73)

CoQ10 is produced by the body, but age, nutrient deficiencies, disease and some medications can lower the body’s CoQ10 levels. Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) deplete CoQ10. (15,54,74-77)

Studies have shown that the oil-preserved form is up to 3 times better absorbed than other forms. (78-80)

Although many claims are currently made for a “new” form (ubiquinol) being “more absorbable” than ubiquinone, this has never been proven or well-studied. Learn more about this issue here:Ubiquinone (CoQ10) versus Ubiquinol: Which Is Better?

CoQ10 and it’s use in CHF (Congestive Heart Failure):

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19966871
“… Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential for electron transport within the mitochondria and hence for ATP generation and cellular energy production. We recently demonstrated that plasma levels of CoQ10 are an independent predictor of survival in a cohort of 236 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) followed for a median of 2.69 years. This is consistent with previous studies which have shown myocardial CoQ10 depletion in CHF, and correlated with the severity of the underlying disorder. Several intervention studies have been undertaken with CoQ10 in CHF, including randomized controlled trials with mostly positive outcomes in relation to improvement in plasma levels of CoQ10. A meta-analysis showed that CoQ10 resulted in an improvement in ejection fraction of 3.7% (95%CI 1.59-5.77) and the mean increase in cardiac output was 0.28 L/minute (95%CI 0.03-0.53). In a subgroup analysis, studies with patients not taking ACE inhibitors found a 6.7% increase in ejection fraction. The ongoing Q-SYMBIO trial will address whether CoQ10 supplementation improves survival in CHF patients. CoQ10 depletion may also be a contributory factor for why statin intervention has not improved outcomes in CHF. There is an emerging evidence base in support of CoQ10 as an adjunctive therapy in CHF.”

http://faculty.washington.edu/ely/coenzq10.html
“…The majority of the clinical studies concerned the treatment of heart disease and were remarkably consistent in their conclusions: that treatment with CoQ10 significantly improved heart muscle function while producing no adverse effects or drug interactions. …”

Dr. Myatt’s Conclusion:
CoQ10 is beneficial for nearly every type of Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)

Suggested dose:

50-100 mg per day for health maintenance and anti-aging / longevity programs.

200 to 400 mg per day for heart problems, cancer, weight loss programs and other indications.

Studies performed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using Vitaline ™ brand CoQ10, have used 300-400 mg (or more under medical direction) per day.

Each Capsule contains:

50 or 100 mg capsules are Wellness Club brand oil-preserved CoQ10 in easy to swallow gel Caps with Vitamin E & Beta carotene as natural preservatives.

300 and 400mg tablets are Vitaline/Integrative Therapeutics chewable wafers, the exact formulas used in the NIH Parkinson’s trials.

 Vitaline CoQ10

Vitaline brand CoQ10 is THE CoQ10 that has been the subject of NIH studies and a recent trial showing its potential value in Parkinson’s patients.

Co10 has been shown to be potentially helpful for:

  • neurological health
  • cardiovascular health
  • anti-aging and longevity

NOTE: Vitaline® brand CoQ10 is available under several different labels.

Integrative Therapeutics
is the “Doctors Only” label
Enzymatic Therapy
is the “Health Food Store” label
Vitaline under the “Vitaline Formulas” Label is the same product

THESE ARE ALL THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT That Is Used In The NIH Studies
All are made by Vitaline and given different labels.

Product # N313 Vitaline (60 chewable wafers 300 mg With Vitamin E)97.00


Vitaline, Vitamin E, and Vitamin E safety:

Some people (including some doctors) have a mistaken fear of Vitamin E, believing that “too much is dangerous.”

We have been unable to find any evidence in medical or scientific literature of any danger from taking large doses of Vitamin E. The National Institutes for Health (NIH) a US government authority places the maximum daily intake of Vitamin E at 1500 IU for healthy adults.

High intake of Vitamin E intake does tend to “thin” the blood, affecting coagulation by inhibiting platelet aggregation. People using antigoagulants or who bleed too easily may wish to discuss the use of Vitamin E with theri doctor.It has also been reported that Vitamin E in high doses may block the action of Vitamin K which is known as “the clotting factor.”

According to the label information and the Enzymatic Therapy website:

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 300 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 300 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 400 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 200 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

In order to achieve the daily intake of Vitamin E that you or your health care provider wish you to have you can either use a different tablet strength, either 300 or 400 mg to achieve 1200mg per day or mix your intake between Vitaline WITH and Vitaline WITHOUT Vitamin E to achieve your preferred daily intake of Vitamin E.

Vitaline Co-Q10 400 mg 90 chewable wafers With Vit. E

CoQ10 (ubiquinone)

Super-Energizer and Potent Antioxidant

CoQ10 is a naturally-occurring antioxidant produced in the human body. It is vitally involved in energy production. CoQ10 functions as an “energizer” to mitochondria, the body’s energy producing units. Mitochondria, which produce energy the body’s “energy currency,” ATP, require CoQ10 to “spark” their production of energy units (ATP). Muscles, and the heart in particular, have high requirements for CoQ10.

CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant beneficial for:

  • Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)
  • High Blood Pressure (1,3,4,14, 53, 55)
  • Neurological disease (Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s) (19-37)
  • Immune deficiency and AIDS (40-45,52)
  • Periodontal disease (38-39)
  • Cancer (40, 44-49)
  • Chemotherapy side-effects (50-52)
  • Diabetes (53-56)
  • Muscular dystrophy (57-58)
  • fatigue / chronic fatigue / fibromyalgia (59-61)
  • migraine headache (62-63)
  • enhancing athletic performance (64-68)
  • male infertility (69-73)

CoQ10 is produced by the body, but age, nutrient deficiencies, disease and some medications can lower the body’s CoQ10 levels. Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) deplete CoQ10. (15,54,74-77)

Studies have shown that the oil-preserved form is up to 3 times better absorbed than other forms. (78-80)

Although many claims are currently made for a “new” form (ubiquinol) being “more absorbable” than ubiquinone, this has never been proven or well-studied. Learn more about this issue here:Ubiquinone (CoQ10) versus Ubiquinol: Which Is Better?

CoQ10 and it’s use in CHF (Congestive Heart Failure):

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19966871
“… Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential for electron transport within the mitochondria and hence for ATP generation and cellular energy production. We recently demonstrated that plasma levels of CoQ10 are an independent predictor of survival in a cohort of 236 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) followed for a median of 2.69 years. This is consistent with previous studies which have shown myocardial CoQ10 depletion in CHF, and correlated with the severity of the underlying disorder. Several intervention studies have been undertaken with CoQ10 in CHF, including randomized controlled trials with mostly positive outcomes in relation to improvement in plasma levels of CoQ10. A meta-analysis showed that CoQ10 resulted in an improvement in ejection fraction of 3.7% (95%CI 1.59-5.77) and the mean increase in cardiac output was 0.28 L/minute (95%CI 0.03-0.53). In a subgroup analysis, studies with patients not taking ACE inhibitors found a 6.7% increase in ejection fraction. The ongoing Q-SYMBIO trial will address whether CoQ10 supplementation improves survival in CHF patients. CoQ10 depletion may also be a contributory factor for why statin intervention has not improved outcomes in CHF. There is an emerging evidence base in support of CoQ10 as an adjunctive therapy in CHF.”

http://faculty.washington.edu/ely/coenzq10.html
“…The majority of the clinical studies concerned the treatment of heart disease and were remarkably consistent in their conclusions: that treatment with CoQ10 significantly improved heart muscle function while producing no adverse effects or drug interactions. …”

Dr. Myatt’s Conclusion:
CoQ10 is beneficial for nearly every type of Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)

Suggested dose:

50-100 mg per day for health maintenance and anti-aging / longevity programs.

200 to 400 mg per day for heart problems, cancer, weight loss programs and other indications.

Studies performed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using Vitaline ™ brand CoQ10, have used 300-400 mg (or more under medical direction) per day.

Each Capsule contains:

50 or 100 mg capsules are Wellness Club brand oil-preserved CoQ10 in easy to swallow gel Caps with Vitamin E & Beta carotene as natural preservatives.

300 and 400mg tablets are Vitaline/Integrative Therapeutics chewable wafers, the exact formulas used in the NIH Parkinson’s trials.

Vitaline CoQ10

Vitaline brand CoQ10 is THE CoQ10 that has been the subject of NIH studies and a recent trial showing its potential value in Parkinson’s patients.

Co10 has been shown to be potentially helpful for:

  • neurological health
  • cardiovascular health
  • anti-aging and longevity

NOTE: Vitaline® brand CoQ10 is available under several different labels.

Vitaline CoQ10 Vitaline Vitaline Co-Enzyme Q10
Integrative Therapeutics
is the “Doctors Only” label
Enzymatic Therapy
is the “Health Food Store” label
Vitaline under the “Vitaline Formulas” Label is the same product

THESE ARE ALL THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT That Is Used In The NIH Studies
All are made by Vitaline and given different labels.

Product # N314 Vitaline (90 chewable wafers 400 mg With Vitamin E)197.00

 


Vitaline, Vitamin E, and Vitamin E safety:

Some people (including some doctors) have a mistaken fear of Vitamin E, believing that “too much is dangerous.”

We have been unable to find any evidence in medical or scientific literature of any danger from taking large doses of Vitamin E. The National Institutes for Health (NIH) a US government authority places the maximum daily intake of Vitamin E at 1500 IU for healthy adults.

High intake of Vitamin E intake does tend to “thin” the blood, affecting coagulation by inhibiting platelet aggregation. People using antigoagulants or who bleed too easily may wish to discuss the use of Vitamin E with theri doctor.It has also been reported that Vitamin E in high doses may block the action of Vitamin K which is known as “the clotting factor.”

According to the label information and the Enzymatic Therapy website:

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 300 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 300 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 400 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 200 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

In order to achieve the daily intake of Vitamin E that you or your health care provider wish you to have you can either use a different tablet strength, either 300 or 400 mg to achieve 1200mg per day or mix your intake between Vitaline WITH and Vitaline WITHOUT Vitamin E to achieve your preferred daily intake of Vitamin E.

Vitaline Co-Q10 300 mg 60 chewable wafers WITHOUT Vit.E

CoQ10 (ubiquinone)

Super-Energizer and Potent Antioxidant

CoQ10 is a naturally-occurring antioxidant produced in the human body. It is vitally involved in energy production. CoQ10 functions as an “energizer” to mitochondria, the body’s energy producing units. Mitochondria, which produce energy the body’s “energy currency,” ATP, require CoQ10 to “spark” their production of energy units (ATP). Muscles, and the heart in particular, have high requirements for CoQ10.

CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant beneficial for:

  • Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)
  • High Blood Pressure (1,3,4,14, 53, 55)
  • Neurological disease (Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s) (19-37)
  • Immune deficiency and AIDS (40-45,52)
  • Periodontal disease (38-39)
  • Cancer (40, 44-49)
  • Chemotherapy side-effects (50-52)
  • Diabetes (53-56)
  • Muscular dystrophy (57-58)
  • fatigue / chronic fatigue / fibromyalgia (59-61)
  • migraine headache (62-63)
  • enhancing athletic performance (64-68)
  • male infertility (69-73)

CoQ10 is produced by the body, but age, nutrient deficiencies, disease and some medications can lower the body’s CoQ10 levels. Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) deplete CoQ10. (15,54,74-77)

Studies have shown that the oil-preserved form is up to 3 times better absorbed than other forms. (78-80)

Although many claims are currently made for a “new” form (ubiquinol) being “more absorbable” than ubiquinone, this has never been proven or well-studied. Learn more about this issue here:Ubiquinone (CoQ10) versus Ubiquinol: Which Is Better?

CoQ10 and it’s use in CHF (Congestive Heart Failure):

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19966871
“… Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential for electron transport within the mitochondria and hence for ATP generation and cellular energy production. We recently demonstrated that plasma levels of CoQ10 are an independent predictor of survival in a cohort of 236 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) followed for a median of 2.69 years. This is consistent with previous studies which have shown myocardial CoQ10 depletion in CHF, and correlated with the severity of the underlying disorder. Several intervention studies have been undertaken with CoQ10 in CHF, including randomized controlled trials with mostly positive outcomes in relation to improvement in plasma levels of CoQ10. A meta-analysis showed that CoQ10 resulted in an improvement in ejection fraction of 3.7% (95%CI 1.59-5.77) and the mean increase in cardiac output was 0.28 L/minute (95%CI 0.03-0.53). In a subgroup analysis, studies with patients not taking ACE inhibitors found a 6.7% increase in ejection fraction. The ongoing Q-SYMBIO trial will address whether CoQ10 supplementation improves survival in CHF patients. CoQ10 depletion may also be a contributory factor for why statin intervention has not improved outcomes in CHF. There is an emerging evidence base in support of CoQ10 as an adjunctive therapy in CHF.”

http://faculty.washington.edu/ely/coenzq10.html
“…The majority of the clinical studies concerned the treatment of heart disease and were remarkably consistent in their conclusions: that treatment with CoQ10 significantly improved heart muscle function while producing no adverse effects or drug interactions. …”

Dr. Myatt’s Conclusion:
CoQ10 is beneficial for nearly every type of Heart Disease (angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (1-18)

Suggested dose:

50-100 mg per day for health maintenance and anti-aging / longevity programs.

200 to 400 mg per day for heart problems, cancer, weight loss programs and other indications.

Studies performed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using Vitaline ™ brand CoQ10, have used 300-400 mg (or more under medical direction) per day.

Each Capsule contains:

50 or 100 mg capsules are Wellness Club brand oil-preserved CoQ10 in easy to swallow gel Caps with Vitamin E & Beta carotene as natural preservatives.

300 and 400mg tablets are Vitaline/Integrative Therapeutics chewable wafers, the exact formulas used in the NIH Parkinson’s trials.Vitaline CoQ10

Vitaline brand CoQ10 is THE CoQ10 that has been the subject of NIH studies and a recent trial showing its potential value in Parkinson’s patients.

Co10 has been shown to be potentially helpful for:

  • neurological health
  • cardiovascular health
  • anti-aging and longevity

NOTE: Vitaline® brand CoQ10 is available under several different labels.

Integrative Therapeutics
is the “Doctors Only” label
Enzymatic Therapy
is the “Health Food Store” label
Vitaline under the “Vitaline Formulas” Label is the same product

THESE ARE ALL THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT That Is Used In The NIH Studies

Product # N334 Vitaline (60 chewable wafers 300 mg WITHOUT Vit. E)97.00

 

Vitaline, Vitamin E, and Vitamin E safety:

Some people (including some doctors) have a mistaken fear of Vitamin E, believing that “too much is dangerous.”

We have been unable to find any evidence in medical or scientific literature of any danger from taking large doses of Vitamin E. The National Institutes for Health (NIH) a US government authority places the maximum daily intake of Vitamin E at 1500 IU for healthy adults.

High intake of Vitamin E intake does tend to “thin” the blood, affecting coagulation by inhibiting platelet aggregation. People using antigoagulants or who bleed too easily may wish to discuss the use of Vitamin E with theri doctor.It has also been reported that Vitamin E in high doses may block the action of Vitamin K which is known as “the clotting factor.”

According to the label information and the Enzymatic Therapy website:

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 300 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 300 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

Vitaline® CoQ10 – 400 mg WITH Vitamin E contains 200 IU Vitamin E per chewable tab.

In order to achieve the daily intake of Vitamin E that you or your health care provider wish you to have you can either use a different tablet strength, either 300 or 400 mg to achieve 1200mg per day or mix your intake between Vitaline WITH and Vitaline WITHOUT Vitamin E to achieve your preferred daily intake of Vitamin E.
