Diabetic Circulation & Disastrous Circulation from Metabolic Syndrome

Diabetic circulation is best improved through exercise.  For circulation, cayenne pepper may also help to move your blood.  Good blood circulation is for life and limb.

Taurine and Why It's Important

Interesting article on taurine, which says that a taurine deficiency can cause diabetes or complications with diabetes. 

First that stood out for me was this statement:

Taurine has a role in dozens of your bodily functions and is beneficial in both healthy and diseased states.

On dilation, the Japanese have found that taurine improves blood flow and oxygen to your muscles.

The results of a study by Yutaka Nakaya of the Tokushima University School of Medicine and a team of researchers in Japan, published in 2000 in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition", demonstrate the role of taurine in the dilation of the vascular system. Taurine supplementation can increase secretion of nitric oxide, which dilates your blood vessels and improves blood flow and delivery of oxygen to your muscles.

And it's good for men:

Haas mentions that other benefits of taurine include treatment for male infertility, cirrhosis and depression. Additionally, the results of the Nakaya team's study suggest taurine supplementation may be beneficial if you suffer from type 2 diabetes.

Raw Milk

Raw Milk.  Mark McAfee, owner of Organic Pastures, gives an interesting history of raw milk.  I've tried Organic Pastures raw milk, which gets bottled into plastic bottles.  Claravale Dairy bottles their milk in glass bottles.  The taste of the Claravale Dairy raw milk is for me far better, far fresher.  The Organic Pastures tastes stale.  Compare the difference yourself.  I don't know what else Organic Pastures does to its milk.  If it is raw milk, does that mean that it doesn't get pasteurized?  I thought that it did.  The non-pasteurized milk contains all the bacteria that a person wants periodically in their diet.

How To Evaluate the Best Vitamins?

This is my quick review of Ethan A. Huff's article, titled "Whole Food Multi-Vitamin Supplement," posted at Mike Adams' site, Natural News.

Ferreting through the information surrounding vitamins is long and confusing.  We take what we can and we retake that which provides us a noticeable and measurable improvement over our condition.  I remember when I took fish oils for the first time, I was absolutely impressed and concluded then and there that all that I had to do was to take a teaspoon or two a day of fish oils and I would never have be fatigued.  It didn't quite work out that way.  Yes, I was committed to the fish oils for nearly 10 days before I noticed a growth or a small cist develop on my leg.  So read further on fish oils.  They were not all alike.  Some were cleaner than others; some, in fact, had mercury in the oils themselves.  So I stopped taking that one brand of fish oils and purchased a purer form.  No more growths, but the benefits also plateaued.  What makes shopping for vitamins such a chore is that because we all have unique biochemistries or conditions or metabolisms that we each have slightly different reactions to certain vitamins or certain brands.  For years I have taken Solgar brand vitamins.  They feel potent.  I like that.  The vitamins give me a boost however temporary, and on certain days the after-effect of the vitamins I am willing to endure for they are ever so slight.  But how do I find the vitamin that is truly the best for me, one that is made of whole food items instead of synthetics and their attendant petroleum-based fillers, plastics, BHT and such?  Right now I don't know.  But there is a   

Standard Process is an excellent whole foods brand.  They do add exotic bovine hormone.  I don't know their benefits, if any, or their therapeutic effects.

Sedatives Are Waking Up Coma Patients?

This was interesting for its paradoxical point.
