Avatar m tn The cannabinoids have been shown to be powerful anti-inflammatories and anti-oxidants. They have also been shown to have anti-neoplastic activity, at least in gliomas (a form of brain cancer). Cannabinoids both slow programmed cell death (apoptosis) in normal cells while accelerating apoptosis in cancer cells. Since cannabis is nontoxic it might as well be tried, particularly in patients who have chronic progressive disease that is likely to result in death.

Avatar f tn Can you tell me what is going on to expand the indications and approval of the anti-VEGF drugs so that there is full Medicare and insurance coverage.

Avatar f tn I haven't heard of any of this anti-aging stuff with these two supplements. I use Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) to help with peripheral neuropathy. I noticed that it really does cut down on the amount of neuropathy I experience. When I did some online research for Acetyl L Carnitine and neuropathy, since it's also used. The difference is that it is recommended that people check with their doctors before using the Acetyl L Carnitine.

Avatar f tn Go to ulta and talk to their estheticians for a professional recommendation. While pregnant do stay away from retinols which are anti aging. They can cause birth defects. But look for something that has hyaluronic acid in it which is a natural chemical our body makes which helps retains moisture by 1000x its weight. So it is super hydrating which will help reduce and prevent wrinkles.

Avatar m tn No. You would be taking essentially 2 of the same medications as thhey are both anti psychiotics. Are these medications prescribed? That is an awfully dangerous dose of each of them. They should not be combined and you can experience EPS symtoms from that high of a dose.
Avatar n tn I do not have insurance any longer so therefore stop taking the medicine. What can I replace it with that is over the counter . This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/868794'>Pain throughout both legs after bypass surgery</a>.
Avatar n tn My lipids are within the normal range without medication, but the doctor wants the lipids as low as possible due to a history of heart problems.

Avatar n tn I suggest the use of products that are hypoallergenic and also with organic ingredients such as vitamin C and E.

A healthy diet,decrease intake of fatty food, cessation of smoking,adequate sleep and daily exercise will ensure not just great skin but also a healthy body in general.

Avatar f tn However, my doctor has been concerned about my continuing on this medicine because of my strong family history of developing dementia at about my age.
