SYTRINOL

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Cholesterol and triglyceride support

Supports heart health

A natural solution to the cholesterol problem

Sytrinol is a patented complex of polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) and tocotrienols  that affects cholesterol production within the body. The PMFs in sytrinol notably tangeretin and nobiletin are derived from citrus peels.

In addition to being powerful antioxidants, these compounds have been shown to decrease the plasma concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)PMFs may also reduce the adhesion ability of oxidized LDL-C to deposit on arterial walls, which lowers the risk of atherosclerosis. Tocotrienols are a safe, natural alternative to strain drugs (a class of cholesterol –lowering prescription medication that exhibits some negative side effects) because of their ability to assist in the reduction of cholesterol synthesis. The two natural, plant based active ingredients found in Sytrinol work with the body’s own chemistry, using a multifaceted approach, to lower cholesterol without the harmful side effects associated with other treatments.

Clinical studies with replicated results verify the health –promoting benefits of Sytrinol in lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and mildly increasing HDL cholesterol. The efficacious dose given to subjects in the studies was 300 mg/day. Sytrinol is a consumer –friendly supplements and facilitates user compliance two 150 mg softgels per day is a convenient dose and is not diet –specific.

Sytrinol Softgels:

Maximum Bioavailability: A small clinical trial was conducted to determine if specific delivery system would impact the bioavailability of sytrinol. The researcher concluded that the bioavailability of the principal actives in sytrinol was significant improved in soft gelatin capsules.

Twelve weeks of treatment with sytrinol resulted in a:

27% Decrease in total cholesterol

25% Decrease in LDL cholesterol

31% Decrease in total triglycerides

28% Decrease in LDL to HDL ratio

4%   Increase in HDL cholesterol

Mesothelioma Patients

Chiropractic Care as Pain Management for Mesothelioma Patients

According to the American Chiropractic Association, chiropractic doctors “have a deep respect for the human body’s ability to heal itself without the use of surgery or medication. These doctors devote careful attention to the biomechanics, structure and function of the spine, its effects on the musculoskeletal and neurological systems, and the role played by the proper function of these systems in the preservation and restoration of health. A doctor of chiropractic is one who is involved in the treatment and prevention of disease, as well as the promotion of public health, and a wellness approach to patient healthcare.”

Chiropractic care is administered to treat and prevent pain and disorders pertaining to the musculoskeletal system that controls the body’s movement, including the spine. Chiropractic care is often sought as a form of alternative medicine and complementary care to coincide with traditional medical treatments. Many cancer patients elect to visit a chiropractor as part of their treatment regimen, including those suffering from asbestos-related cancers like mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that is caused primarily by exposure to asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that was used in a number of military and industrial applications throughout the 20th century. The symptoms of mesothelioma can take up to 50 years to become noticeable. By this time the cancer is typically advanced and treatment options are extremely limited. 

Two studies published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics examined the cases of two patients combating cancer. One of these cases involved a 54-year-old man that was diagnosed with lung cancer (a cancer often related to asbestos exposure) and began seeing a chiropractor after he experienced little pain relief one year after he underwent surgery. The man experienced pain relief immediately after beginning chiropractic care and discontinued use of all pain medications after two visits to his chiropractor.

Mesothelioma patients interested in alternative treatment, who strongly believe in the body’s ability to heal itself, may find chiropractic care particularly appealing. Alleviating severe headaches and movement pains during cancer treatment may make the treatment process more comfortable for cancer patients.

MASSAGE THERAPY

More and more people are discovering the benefits; Massage is nourishing – mentally, emotionally, as well as physically. One of the nicest things you can do for yourself is set aside some time for a relaxing, therapeutic massage. Studies have demonstrated massage can:

Relieve muscular tension and manage stress, reducing levels of cortisol, a stress hormone

Hasten recovery from strenuous physical exertion by aiding to rid the muscles of metabolic waste

Increase circulation of blood and lymph thereby assisting the body in removing toxins and providing nourishment to the tissues

Break down scar tissue following surgery or injury and encourage the replacement of healthier, less restrictive tissue.

Avoid Failed Back Surgery

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

RANCHO BERNARDO CHIROPRACTOR SAYS “How to Avoid Failed Back Surgery”

Failed back surgery syndrome (also called FBSS, or failed back syndrome) is a misnomer, as it is not actually a syndrome – it is a very generalized term that is often used to describe the condition of patients who have not had a successful result with back surgery or spine surgery. There is no equivalent term for this in any other type of surgery (e.g. there is no failed cardiac surgery syndrome, failed knee surgery syndrome, etc).

Unfortunately, back surgery or spine surgery cannot literally cut out a patient’s pain. It is only able to change anatomy, and an anatomical lesion (injury) that is a probable cause of back pain must be identified prior to back surgery or spine surgery.

 So this been said all avenues must be made before the surgery. Spinal decompression and biomechanical traction is the answer to many patients’ pain. Our office has successfully treated hundreds of patient by using biomechanical traction.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is a spinal disc rehabilitation program that uses FDA cleared medical technology that gently stretches the spine and decompresses the discs. This technique of spinal decompression therapy, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning, has shown the ability to gently separate the vertebrae from each other, creating a vacuum inside the discs that we are targeting. This “vacuum effect” is also known as negative intradiscal pressure.

 The negative pressure can induce the retraction of the herniated or bulging disc into the inside of the disc, and off the nerve root, thecal sac, or both. It happens only microscopically each time, but cumulatively, over four to six weeks, the results are quite dramatic.

Please call us for more information on our chiropractic and medical treatments for failed back surgery.

Electrodiagnostic Tests

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Electrodiagnosis

Electrodiagnostic studies, including, nerve conduction studies (NCS), needle electromyography (EMG), and somatosensory evoked potential studies (SSEPs) should be considered an extension of the history and physical examination and not merely a substitute for a detailed neurologic and musculoskeletal examination.

These studies are helpful in the evaluation of patients with limb pain where the diagnosis remains unclear (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness in the hand or fingers, tingling in the arms and legs, leg pain, shoulder pain, nerve pain, pain going down the legs, sciatica, radiculopathy, etc.). They are also helpful in excluding other causes of sensory and motor disturbances, such as peripheral neuropathy and motor neuron disease. They can also provide useful prognostic information by quantifying the extent and acuity of axonal involvement in radiculopathies.

We at RB Spine Center welcomes any questions you have about our treatments. Call us directly to schedule any appointment for further information on pain management, neurology, neurological conditions and electrodiagnostic testing.
