Higher Vitamin D Levels Associated with Better Cognition and Mood in Parkinson’s Disease Patients. Higher Vitamin D Levels Associated with Better Cognition and Mood in Parkinson’s Disease Patients Findings Published in the Journal of Parkinson's Disease January 17, 2014 A new study exploring vitamin D levels in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) opens up the possibility of a new avenue of early intervention that may delay or prevent the onset of cognitive impairment and depression.

Investigators conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 286 patients with PD and found that higher plasma vitamin D levels were associated with lower symptom severity, better cognition, and less depression in the entire group, but the relationships were even stronger in those who were not demented.

Low Sulfur Recipes. High Sulphur-Sulfur food list.

Sauna Therapy in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (Nov 2013) Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients. Page 1, 2 Abstract A series of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patients have been studied to test two previous predictions: (1) Sauna therapy acts, at least in part, by raising the availability of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4); and (2) ME/CFS is caused by a biochemical vicious cycle mechanism known as the NO/ONOO− cycle.

Sauna therapy is shown here to increase BH4 synthesis, acting by raising the rate-limiting enzyme in BH4 synthesis, GPCH. This confirms, then, the first prediction.

It's functional status determines our resistance or susceptibility to environmental toxins and microbes. This is a confusing array of biochemistry, but suffice it to say, a defect at any one point in these interlocking cycles will inevitably affect the remaining pathways, and your overall health will then suffer. Researchers identify major cause of age-related memory loss. A team of Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers, led by Nobel laureate Eric R. Kandel, MD, has found that deficiency of a protein called RbAp48 in the hippocampus is a significant contributor to age-related memory loss and that this form of memory loss is reversible.

The study, conducted in postmortem human brain cells and in mice, also offers the strongest causal evidence that age-related memory loss and Alzheimer's disease are distinct conditions. The findings were published today in the online edition of Science Translational Medicine. "Our study provides compelling evidence that age-related memory loss is a syndrome in its own right, apart from Alzheimer's. In addition to the implications for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of memory disorders, these results have public health consequences," said Dr.
