blogger's health info disclaimer

2016.12.12: fake news disclaimer:
. many of my blog postings are sourced from
organizations that could be generating fake news;
even peer-reviewed science articles
can be corrupted by Big Money.
. my own opinions could unwittingly be
influenced by a number of fake news readings.
. all I can honestly say is that this blog
documents what I actually believed at the time:
I've been deluded before and it will happen again.

22: news.adds/blog/blogger's health info disclaimer:
23: summary:
. when bloggers or other writers
give health and medical info
they can expect that others will be
using the advice for solving their own
health and medical problems,
so, they need to be warned that this is
for informational use only,
ie, it is simply documenting how the
authors are solving their own problems;
and the authors can't possibly solve
all of the readers' problems
because every reader tells a story
and you've got to listen to that story
in order to help the individual .
. readers are also to be reminded
that all actionable medical claims
must be approved by the FDA,
and that the author's claims are not so approved .
. finally, readers are to be given an idea of
what to do with unapproved medical claims:
they can seek a licensed medical professional,
about how to apply the author's info .

curcumin absorption with piperine or Phytosome

1.21: web.cook/curcumin absorption with piperine or Phytosome:
. some believe black pepper is needed
in order to absorb turmeric's curcumin?
. I once said I was leary of black pepper,
but I researched it again,
and found that pepper's piperine extract
is healthier than whole black pepper .
. another way of absorbing curcumin
is by binding it with phosphatidylcholine .
[6.18: curcumin and MAO-B inhibition:
curcumin may inhibit MAO-B .
"Curcumin (10-80 mg/kg, i.p. in mice) dose dependently
increased serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)
as well as dopamine levels (at higher doses),
and inhibited MAO-A (and in higher doses, MAO-B)"
[ Psychopharmacology (Berl) 2008 ].

reversing gum disease

6.13: summary:
. in 2013 I was starting to get a chronic gum infection;
and, for the past few months I've gotten fair results
from twice-weekly flossing, and daily listerine soaks .
. after the listerine I often use 1/4 capsule of
Garden of Life`Raw Probiotics (local fridge).
. when not soaking in listerine, I'm often soaking in
xylitol, green tea extract, and  Ultimate Ascorbate C.
. after meals I soak in Carnitine, arginine,
and ALA (alpha lipoic acid).
. you may get better results from
having any scale removed from roots,
and not leaving other dead things in your mouth
as is the case with root canal jobs .

#selenium helps preserve #vitaminC

1.20: news.health/counterexample to elder's vit'c use:
nutrition.org 1989:
. in the elderly, supplementing with vit'c
resulted in raising the ratio of
dehydro-ascorbate (oxidized C) to ascorbate;
this may be due to their lesser glutathione function
which is needed to reduce dehyrdo-C to vit'C .
