 [Extracted from the webpage of actos.com] What is ACTOS ? ACTOS is a once-a-day prescription medication for type 2 diabetes that, along with healthy eating and physical activity, helps your body control blood sugar (glucose) levels .   ACTOS makes the cells in your body more sensitive to insulin , a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows the cells in your body to use blood sugar for energy. When the cells are more sensitive to insulin, the sugar that’s in your blood can pass more easily into the cells of your body where it’s really needed. So instead of remaining in the blood, where sugar can build up to dangerous levels, it passes into the cells and your blood sugar levels go down. ACTOS can be used by itself or in combination with certain other diabetes medications ( sulfonylureas , metformin , or insulin) when your necessary efforts at healthy eating and physical activity do not control your blood sugar levels. ACTOS may improve HDL (good) cho...

  Lunaria , or money plant, is a member of the Brassicaceae family that is noted for its papery dried seed pods. They are biennial in habit, meaning they produce green, leafy growth the first year and flowers the next. The silvery seed pods are used in dried flower arrangements and can last for years. A European native that is now established throughout much of North America, it grows wild in many areas. It is also known as dollar plant, annual honesty, perennial honesty and silver dollar. The four-petaled flowers of the lunaria plant are violet in color, highly fragrant, and bloom throughout the early summer in clusters atop a single stem. They have a habit of fading as they mature, making them appear lavender or nearly white. The leaves are large, deep green and toothed, and grow in a clump close to the ground and up the stem. These are good garden plants for beginners, because they are extremely easy to grow and are not picky about soil or sunlight. This ornamen...

[Extracted from the webpage of www.vitamins-supplements.org] Lysine Lysine is one of 20 most common natural amino acids that the body needs for growth and tissue repair. Lysine is an essential amino acid because it cannot be synthesized in the body and its breakdown is irreversible. Lysine is the limiting amino acid in all cereal grains, but is plentiful in all pulses. A deficiency in lysine can result in a deficiency in niacin (which is a B Vitamin ). This can cause the disease pellagra. In the tissues, lysine readily converts its epsilon carbon then to carbon dioxide, helping to form glutamic acid. It can also be converted to carnitine in the body. A unique property that lysine has is that it does not change its nitrogen with other circulating amino acids. Like all amino acids, lysine functions as a building block for proteins . It's also a key player in the production of various enzymes , hormones , and disease-fight...

[Extracted from the website of www.cancertruth.net] Many people who “die from cancer” really die from the chemotherapy long before they would have actually died from the cancer itself. To put it plainly, the treatment kills them before the cancer kills them. As a matter of fact, the chemotherapy drug 5FU is sometimes referred to ... by doctors as “5 feet under” because of its deadly side effects. For most adult cancers, the typical best case scenario is that the “Big 3” buys a little time. In a worst case scenario, you will die from the treatment rather than the disease. Do you remember Tony Snow ? But don’t take it from me ! Here’s what Dr. Allen Levin says about this topic: Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancer s. This fact has been documented for over a decade, yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors . In his book, The Topic of Cancer : When the Killing Has...

[Extracted from the website of The Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse] The kidneys are a pair of vital organs that perform many functions to keep the blood clean and chemically balanced. Understanding how the kidneys work can help a person keep them healthy. What do the kidneys do ? The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. The kidneys are sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every day, a person’s kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The wastes and extra water become urine, which flows to the bladder through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores urine until releasing it through urination. Wastes in the blood come from the normal breakdown of active tissues, such as muscles, and from food. The body uses food for energy and self-repairs. After the body has ta...
