Oh - I forgot to add in my post # 10 - I also lost 35 pounds - AND my blood pressure went from high to real healthy - ditto cholesterol

Speaking of chloresterol, you might be interested in researching homocystiene levels - that research is now pinpointing as the bad guy in heart problems over cholesterol...

Here's a Stanford study

http://www.stanford.edu/group/hopes/treatmts/antinflm/i7.html

excerpt: High homocysteine levels are associated with many health problems and may contribute to the progression of HD; consequently, it is important to keep homocystein levels low. In the first processing pathway, homocysteine becomes cysteine, which can become glutathione. The first pathway is important to people with HD because glutathione can help protect against oxidative damage. ... In the second processing pathway, homocysteine becomes methionine, whose creation depends on an enzyme that needs folic acid.

Also, scroll down to the "Folic Acid and HD"

Stanford's report is, of course, more technical that others,,,but a GOOGLE or an ASK.com can bring up gobs of info on homocysteine and HD - heart disease

What I post from EurekAlert are “press ready” articles due to be printed in specific journals. It is cheaper and easier than going thru the various “fee based” journal services.
