I posted about three months ago about lingering neurological and
arthritic symptoms and got some general counsel to "hang on"...

I'm now nine months post-Tx and the noted symptoms are still
lingering--along with fatigue (not a lack of strength but a just-want-
to-lay-down feeling in my body)... thyroid is fine, btw.

Any similar experiences out there or just advice?

Alex,
 It seems that my need to lay down or that feeling of the need to lay down
and rest have diminished over the past three years.  I ususally sleep for
seven or eight hours a night and I usually nap each day in the early
afternoon for forty five minutes.  I go to bed and am sleeping by 9:30 PM
and up sometime shortly after 5:30 AM.
 About two weeks ago I forwarded a message from Hepatitis Central to this
Newsgroup entitled "Hepatitis C, fatigue and mitochondria"  It was
indirectly addressed to you and others that feel this post-tx fatigue
factor.  I don't know if my research into 'Lipid Replacement Therapy' to
countervail the damage to mitochondrae pertains to you.  It is dietary, and
the small amount of research I did into dietary or diet supplements follow
the last part of Ms. Cutler's article in Hepatitis Central.

///////////////////////////////////////
Lipid Replacement Therapy
Preventing mitochondrial cell membrane damage and loss of membrane integrity
are important for averting the loss of cellular energy. One popular method
that has been used to replace damaged components of the mitochondrial
membrane is replacement therapy. By replacing the damaged lipids with
phospholipids and fatty acids essential to the structure and function of
biological membranes, restoration of the mitochondria's boundaries is
possible.

The first outward sign of mitochondrial membrane deterioration is likely to
be fatigue. Damage to the mitochondrial membrane results in the following
cascade of events:

1. Its phospholipid structure loses fluidity which leads to.
2. An increasingly porous membrane which leads to.
3. A reduction in the membrane's electrical potential which leads to.
4. A decreased capability of making cellular energy.

Using lipid replacement therapy, the innovation of NT Factor® has been
successful in repairing the mitochondrial membrane and restoring people's
energy levels. Shown in clinical studies to increase participant's energy by
up to 40 percent, NT Factor® has helped many people combat the mitochondrial
membrane's decline. With the ability to strengthen this important membrane,
the mitochondria become more resilient to nucleoside analogs and
virally-induced damage - thus preserving a person's energy.

Affecting between 65 and 75 percent of people with HCV, profound fatigue is
a likely result of a deficiency in the mitochondria. Helping to sustain the
fluidity of cell's mitochondrial membranes has the direct result of
maintaining youthful vigor. Whether due to aging, medications or a result of
HCV, consider lipid replacement therapy as a means to energize your
mitochondria and abandon excessive tiredness.

______________________

 I went searching for dietary or supplements that may relieve some of our
fatigue due to mitochondrial damage (remember, the mitochondriae are the
energy centres of our cells).  In the previous article, a mention was made
of Lipid Replacement Therapy.  I googled that term and came away with lots
of hits.

The following was copied from the footnotes of a pdf article at:

http://www.immed.org/publications/Nicolson_ElllithorpeJCFS_copy.pdf

(yes it is trying to sell something but if you look at the dietary options
listed below, some of the foods mentioned should remind you of liver
strength enhancing foods that we've seen before in a number of places)

The Institute for Molecular Medicine, Huntington Beach, California, CA

The most common complaints of cancer patients undergoing chemo- or
radiotherapy are fatigue, nausea, vomiting, malaise, diarrhea and headaches.
These adverse effects are thought to be due to damage of normal tissues
during the course of therapy. In addition, recent evidence indicates that
fatigue is related to reduced mitochondrial function through loss of
efficiency in the electron transport chain caused by membrane oxidation, and
this occurs during aging, in fatiguing illnesses and in cancer patients
during cytotoxic therapy. Lipid Replacement Therapy administered as a
nutritional supplement with antioxidants can prevent oxidative membrane
damage to normal tissues, restore mitochondrial and other cellular membrane
functions and reduce the adverse effects of cancer therapy. Recent clinical
trials using patients with chronic fatigue have shown the benefit of Lipid
Replacement Therapy plus antioxidants in restoring mitochondrial electron
transport function and reducing moderate to severe chronic fatigue by
protecting mitochondrial and other cellular membranes from oxidative and
other damage. In cancer patients a placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical
trial using Lipid Replacement Therapy plus antioxidants demonstrated that
the adverse effects of chemotherapy can be reduced in 57-70% of patients.
Dietary use of unoxidized membrane lipids plus antioxidants is recommended
for patients undergoing cancer therapy to improve quality of life but should
not be taken at the same time of day as the therapy.

So I am convinced, and I am going to increase the frequency of 'real'
yogurt, beets, garlic, artichoke, leeks, broccoli, and onions in my diet as
well as increase the substantial amount of anti-oxidants I am presently
taking with Milk Thistle extract.  Alpha Lipoic Acid, spirolina and selenium
are also called for.

To our health, lets live until we get hit by a bus  :)

DULSE

The sea contains every element to maintain a healthy life. Sea
vegetable algaes like Dulse are alkaline forming. Their sea source
micro-nutrient values greatly exceed those in soil-based crops, and
more importantly, their rare trace mineral content, such as boron,
titanium, lithium, ubium, calcium and iodine are in organic forms the
body can readily absorb and use.

KLAMATH LAKE ALGAE*

Klamath Lake in Oregon is one of the few remaining alkaline lakes on
earth, with a high mineral content from volcanic ash deposited 7,000
years ago. Its lake water contains 60 times the nutrients blue-green
algae need to reach their full potential, resulting in algae that is
nature's most oxygenating food. It contains 22 amino acids and has 75%
protein assimilation, with a full spectrum of naturally chelated
minerals (organically bound). It provides an abundance of beta
carotene, most of the B-complex vitamins - the richest of all other
algae in vitamin B-12, and some vitamin E. It is the algae of choice
for the mind and nervous system, as it has much higher neuropeptide
precursor concentration than either spirulina or chlorella and has a
very positive effect on the hypothalamus, and the pineal and pituitary
glands. It is a brain food 'par excellence.'

Klamath Lake Algae is a wonderful source of Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll
is essential to all life on earth. It is so similar to heme
(hemoglobin) in our blood that only a single molecule separates the
two; magnesium at the center of chlorophyll, and iron at the center of
the heme in red blood cells. Chlorophyll provides a powerful
oxygenating effect on the blood. Its oxygenating influence on the body
can speed healing and assist your immune system. Since it is alkaline,
it can bring back the balance in pH to blood rendered acidic by a diet
too heavy in protein. Since 1780, when scientific research first began
on chlorophyll, studies have shown it protects against and detoxifies
a wide range of chemical pollutants and radiation, purifies your blood
and stimulates circulation. It is easily digestible because it is
water soluble and rich in fat-soluble substances such as vitamin K,
which helps blood clot and prevents oxalate crystals (precursors to
kidney stones) from forming in urine.

CHLORELLA

Chlorella is a single-celled algae containing one of nature's highest
levels of natural beta carotene (pro-Vitamin A), the antioxidant
vitamins C and E, carotenoids, magnesium, micronutrients and the super
detoxifier chlorophyll. Chlorella is blood purifier and builder.
Strengthens immune system, cleanses liver and helps with bowel
regularity. Deodorizing to the body.

Chlorella contains all essential amino acids, B-complex, especially
B12, minerals, nucleic acids RNA and DNA. Chlorella may be the the
perfect antidote to our refined food, nutrient-poor diets and toxic
environment.

SPIRULINA

Spirulina is one of the most nutrient-rich concentrated superfood
sources in the world containing over 65 percent protein (more than
fish, meat, and poultry), vegetarian vitamin B12 (in a richer
concentration than beef liver) as well as very high concentrations of
other B vitamins, 17 amino acids (including the eight essential amino
acids), enzymes, chelated minerals, trace elements, essential fatty
acids as well as a wealth of beta carotene (more than carrots) which
neutralizes free radicals that damage healthy cells.

Researchers indicate Spirulina holds great promise in fighting cancer
as it contains what they believe may be many cancer-preventing
pigments - chlorophyll greens, porphyrin reds, carotenoid oranges,
xanthoplyll yellows, and phycocyanin blues.

People using spirulina should experience decreased appetite, weight
loss, improved energy, increased mental clarity and alertness and a
general feeling of well-being. Great blood cleanser and builder.

BROCCOLI*

Broccoli contains the phyto-nutrient Sulphoraphane. Sulforaphane
belongs to a class of phytochemicals known as isothiocyanates, which
are known to strongly stimulate the body's natural detoxifying
enzymes. Aids in Cancer prevention and cell detoxification.

Broccoli is rich in vitamins A, C and folic acid and a full spectrum
of minerals.

CAULIFLOWER

Cauliflower also contains vitamin C and folate. Folate helps the blood
work more efficiently and is often recommended for preventing anemia.

There are two main ingredients in cauliflower, and all of the
cruciferous family, that are the main disease fighters. These are
indole-3-carbinol, or 13C, and the photonutrient sulforaphane. In
research done at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, sulforaphane
lowered the occurance of breast tumors in lab animals by almost 40%.
Toxins that would normally damage the cells and turn cancerous, are
swept out of the system by sulforaphane, preventing tumors before they
begin. 13C lowers the chances of tumor growth.

BELL PEPPER

Bell Pepper is high in vitamin C. bioflavinoids and vitamin A. Also
present is folic acid, potassium, niacin and B vitamins. Bell pepper
has antimicrobial properties.

PARSLEY

Parsley is an excellent herbal source of trace minerals, especially
the electrolyte minerals including sodium, potassium, calcium, and
magnesium. It is also an excellent herbal source of Vitamin A, Vitamin
C and chlorophylins, all natural detoxifiers.

Parsley has been used to treat urinary tract infections, amenorrhea,
dysmenorrhea, dyspepsia, bronchitis, allergies, arthritis, asthma,
flatulence, dysuria and nephritis. Anticancer because of its high
concentrations of antioxidants, such as monoterpenes, phthalides,
polyacetylenes. Can help detoxify carcinogens and neutralize
carcinogens in tobacco smoke. Has diuretic activity, and may reduce
accumulation of plaque in arteries and prevent unhealthy blood
clotting.

CUCUMBER

Cucumber is a powerful diuretic. It will help to expel uric acid from
the body and is a valuable remedy for arthritis, gout, and rheumatism.
Cucumber is also an excellent remedy for skin and hair problems due to
its silicon and sulfur content combined with its powers as a diuretic.
It is also useful in normalizing the blood pressure.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Brussels sprouts contain sinigrin, which is in a class of cancer-
fighting compounds called glucosinolates, according to studies a
single dose of sinigrin suppresses the development of precancerous
cells in rats.

A breakdown product of sinigrin, called allyl isothiocyanate, is not
only responsible for the smell and taste of brussels sprouts, but also
promotes precancerous cells of the digestive system to commit suicide
-- a natural process called apoptosis.

ONION

The Onion and its stalks have the power to prevent and treat certain
illness. The onion is a stimulant and a mild counter irritant. Onions
can be used as an expectorant. Onion helps to liquefy phlegm and
prevent its recurrence.

Eating raw onions help to reduce cholesterol levels because they
increase levels of high-density lipoproteins. It helps in coronary
heart disease, thrombosis, and blood pressure. Onions are beneficial
in the treatment of urinary disorders. Sulphur compounds present in
onion will help to prevent the growth of cancer cells. Onions are also
used in the treatment of anaemia, bleeding piles and teeth disorders.

CELERY

Celery is rich in vitamins A and C, calcium, folic acid, and
potassium. Provides fiber and carbohydrates. Celery is thought to have
a relaxing effect by calming the nerves.

circulation and maintain a healthy heart.

Stimulates immune system function, fights bacteria and detoxifies the
body. Supports the body's ability to defend itself against infection,
colds, coughs, asthma, gastrointestinal problems and parasites.
Preliminary evidence shows that the potent antioxidants in garlic that
may help prevent cancer

CAYENNE

Cayenne is the most useful of the systemic stimulants. It stimulates
blood flow, strengthening the heart, arteries, capillaries and nerves.
A general tonic, it is also specific for both circulatory and
digestive system. It may be used in flatulent dyspepsia and colic. If
there is insufficient peripheral circulation, leading to cold hands
and feet and possibly chilbains, Cayenne may be used, also for
debility and for warding off colds. Capsicum meets the debility of
young and old, but particularly useful in the elderly, when body-heat
is low, vitality depressed and reaction sluggish. Tired, painful
muscles, stiffened joints and relaxation of any part are common
conditions in the elderly that are, in a measure, rectified by
Capsicum.

ASPARAGUS

Research has proven that asparagus does contain several substances
which are vital to overall health. Asparagus is very rich in Folacin,
a B vitamin which aids in the duplication of cells for growth, repair
of the body and blood cell reproduction in the bone marrow. Folacin
has recently been discovered to have a profound effect in the
prevention of two of the most common neurological birth defects: spina
bifida and anencephaly. Folacin has also been established as a
nutrient that prevents cervical cancer.

According to the National Cancer Institute, asparagus is the highest
tested food containing Glutathione, one of the body's most potent
anticarcinogens and antioxidants. Additionally, asparagus is high in
Rutin, which aids in strengthening the blood vessels.

Asparagus is also an excellent source of Potassium, Fiber, Vitamin B6,
Vitamins A & C, Triamin and Folic Acid. Source of Potassium, Fiber,
Vitamin B6, Vitamins A & C, Triamin and Folic Acid.

GINGER

circulatory, digestive and cardiovascular system. Helps ease cold, flu
& allergy symptoms. Natural expectorant and anti-microbial.
(Posses antioxidant, antibiotic, inflammatory and pain relieving
properties)

11 NUTRIENT DENSE SEEDS, NUTS, &
SPROUTS**

FLAX SEED

Flax is the richest vegetable source of Omega 3 essential fatty acids.
It is also the richest known source of lignans, a class of
phytonutrients that have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and
anti-carcinogenic properties.

Flax Seed is an exceptional source of dietary fiber, both soluble, and
insoluble. Flax is high in boron, a trace mineral that helps the body
hold onto calcium.

The National Cancer Institute has chosen flax as one of the first five
primary foodstuffs for study to determine health benefits of natural
foods. From the Omega 3 essential fatty acids, the body produces
series 3 prostaglandin's. These act on the cellular level in a variety
of disease fighting ways, that include anti-clotting actions in the
blood stream, anti-inflammatory responses that alleviate or prevent
such auto-immune diseases such as: arthritis, psoriasis, and asthma.
They are involved in mechanisms of transport and metabolism of both
cholesterol and triglycerides that result in a strong lowering effect
on both of these cardiovascular factors.

Series 3 prostaglandins increase vitality, energy, and stamina due to
their involvement in the body's process of oxidation, which, on a
cellular level, is the way molecules are broken down to produce
energy.

Flax Seed is rich in: Essential fatty acid Omega 3, soluble and
insoluble fiber, and boron. Flax Seed contains natural anti-oxidants,
and has positive effects on dry skin, tissue inflammation and immune
system dysfunction.

OAT BRAN

Oat Bran has received considerable attention in the medical community
for its role in helping reduce blood cholesterol. Nutrition experts
believe that beta glucans, the water-soluble fibers present in oat
bran, act as an active agent for cholesterol inhibition.

Since oat bran is a food and supplies beneficial fiber to assist in
regulating gastro-intestinal function as well, nutritionists recommend
increased daily intake.

Studies done on hypercholesterolemic subjects have confirmed that
certain fiber, including oat bran fiber, has substantial cholesterol-
lowering effects.

BROWN RICE

Brown rice flour. This flour comes from unpolished brown rice. It has
more nutritional value than white rice flour because it includes bran
from the hull of the grain.

Brown rice is far more nutritious than white rice. Because it retains
its oil-rich germ and bran, it is packed with vitamins E, B, and
minerals, as well as fiber and protein.

Brown Rice is rich in B vitamins and is thought to reduce the risk of
cancer of the colon, reduces cholesterol level, and fiber-deficiency
diseases (diabetes, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, chronic constipation,
and over sensitivity syndrome).

ALMOND SEED*

Almonds have the highest protein content of any nut and are a valuable
food for vegans and vegetarians. Almonds are rich in minerals,
magnesium, potassium, phosphorous and especially high in calcium.

Almonds are high in mono-unsaturated fat which helps to lower
cholesterol, especially the bad cholesterol (LDL). Almonds contain a
high degree of oleic acid, which is believed to be the ingredient in
olive oil that protects against heart disease.

SUNFLOWER SEED

Sunflower Seed is rich in a number of components that have been shown
to protect against cardiovascular and other diseases and to act as
antioxidants and anticarcinogens; thus the kernel can be considered a
functional food.

Sunflower Seeds contain healthy unsaturated fats, protein and fibre,
plus important nutrients like vitamin E, selenium, copper, zinc,
folate, iron and phytochemicals.

Sunflower seeds contain both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat ?
the types of fat that may protect the heart. Clinical studies show
that higher unsaturated fat diets may be preferable even to low-fat
diets because they lower total cholesterol. Almost 90% of the fat in
sunflower seeds is good unsaturated fat.

Sunflower seeds are the best whole food source of vitamin E. Vitamin E
is an antioxidant that may protect against heart disease by getting
rid of harmful molecules called free radicals that can lead to
arterioscleroses. Selenium works with vitamin E as an antioxidant and
protects cells from damage that may lead to cancer, heart disease, and
other health problems.

Sunflower seeds are a good natural source of Zinc, an important
mineral vital for keeping your immune system strong, fending off
infections and healing wounds.

Sunflower Seeds are high in protein, low in carbohydrates an excellent
complementary source of the beneficial mono-unsaturated omega-9 EFA,
which maintains 'good' cholesterol (HDL) and lowers 'bad' cholesterol
(LDL). Good source of energy for the body.

WHEAT
SPROUT*

A natural source of chlorophyll, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium,
vitamins and minerals aids in the detoxification and repair of
cellular membranes. Wheat sprouts provide antioxidant enzymes and been
shown to remarkebely enhance the body’s production of superoxide
dismustases and catalases. Chlorophyll is the active factor in wheat
sprout, which inhibits the metabolic activity of carcinogens.

Wheat sprout contains substances which seem to revitalize cells and
reduce the rate of cell destruction. Wheat sprouts display high
enzymatic activity and contain Catalase, Glutathione Peroxidase,
Methionine Reductase, as well as Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), a
substance which neutralizes the most common free radical agent in the
cells - superoxide.

AMARANTH SPROUT*

A grain (although related to spinach) with origins in Central America,
it largely disappeared following the Spanish conquest.

Amaranth is a hardy crop that is resistant to drought and cold and is
higher in fat and oil than other grains. It contains high-quality
protein and is also high in fiber with an abundance of calcium, iron,
and vitamin C.
Amaranth is extremely high in protein, especially including the rarer
lysine and sulfur?containing amino acids. Amaranth is an important
option for hypoglycemics, and others with blood sugar problems, as it
avoids the excessive unbalanced starch that can cause such devestating
effects on the insulin and blood sugar.

PUMPKIN SEED

Pumpkin seeds are a superfood. The seeds are rich in the amino acids
alanin, glycine and glutamic acid, and also contain high amounts of
zinc and Omega 3 essential fatty acids. They contain high quantities
of protein, iron and phosphorous and even a tablespoon a day would be
a good addition to any healthy diet, particularly for vegans and
vegetarians. Pumpkin seeds are also low in carbohydrates.

Studies have shown that pumpkin seeds may reduce hormonal damage to
prostate cells, thus possibly reducing the risk of developing prostate
cancer. The seeds have been used to treat urinary tract infections.

Pumpkin Seeds are a tasty source of vitamins and minerals,
particularly beta-carotene, vitamin C and potassium. Historically
beneficial in maintaining male and female health. ( A good source of
omega-6 and omega-9 EFAs)

CHIA SEED

'Chia' is the Mayan word for strength. Also the seed that is used to
grow the popular Chia Pet?.

Chia seed is a complete source of dietary protein, providing all the
essential amino acids. Compared to other seeds and grains, chia seed
provides the highest source of protein, between 19 to 23 percent
protein by weight. One of the unique qualities of the chia seed is its
ability to absorb more than nine times its volume in water or other
liquid, thereby having the potential to help those trying to lose
weight. This ability can also prolong hydration and retain
electrolytes in body fluids, especially during exertion or exercise.
Normal fluid retention ensures electrolyte dispersion across cell
membranes, maintains fluid balances, and aids normal cellular
function.

The gel-forming property of chia seed tends to slow digestion and
sustain balanced blood sugar levels, which can be helpful in
preventing or controlling diabetes.

Chia also facilitates the growth and regeneration of tissue during
pregnancy and lactation, and aids the regeneration of muscles for
conditioning athletes and bodybuilders. For the dieter, this means
feeling full with no more peaks and valleys in blood sugar levels.

Research is being conducted to show how chia may prevent and/or
overcome Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes.

Chia seeds contain high levels of both ornega-3 and omega-6 oils,
needed by all people, but especially by pregnant women or those with
PMS.

Chia seeds contain greater alpha-linolenic acid concentrations than
any other seed or grain. This substance lowers the risk of heart
disease, blurred vision, and numbness.

Native people have used chia gel on wounds, for colds and sore
throats, for upset stomachs, body odors, prostate problems, and even
constipation.

Chia seed contains large amounts of B vitamins and calcium. By volume,
one ounce of chia contains two percent B-2 (riboflavin), 13 percent
niacin, and 29 percent thiamin, and trace amounts of all B vitamins.
In roughly two ounces of chia (100 grams), there are 600 milligrams of
calcium, contrasted with 120 milligrams of calcium in the same amount
of milk. That’s five times as much calcium than milk!

Chia also contains boron, which is needed for bones. With much of the
nations soil boron depleted, we simply are not getting enough boron in
our daily diets. Boron is needed to aid the metabolism of calcium,
magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus in bones and for muscle growth.
Boron also can increase the levels of natural estrogen.

Early results in current cancer research with chia show promise in
this area. There is also good indicators of a link chia seeds have in
the prevention or slowing of cancer development.

Chia is an excellent source of fiber.

SESAME SEED

The sesame seed, one of the smallest of all the seeds, is packed with
goodness - high in protein, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and phytic
acid. Low in carbohydrates and cholesterol free.

The seeds are an aid to digestion, stimulating blood circulation and
benefiting the nervous system. Sesame seeds benefit the body as a
whole, especially the liver, kidney, spleen and stomach. Its high oil
content lubricates the intestines and nourishes all the internal
viscera.

There is often concern that vegans do not get a sufficient amount of
zinc or iron in their diet. Including sesame seeds in your diet is an
ideal way of improving your Zinc and Iron intake.

Sesame seeds help to protect the body from free radicals. Phytic acid
could inhibit cancer, specifically of the colon.

83+ ACTIVE ENZYMES & FULVIC MINERAL BLEND

AMYLASE

Amylase is one of the two most effective digestive enzymes that are
secreted in high concentrations by the human body. Amylase, found in
saliva, breaks down carbohydrates (starch). In addition, pancreatic
and intestinal juices contain this enzyme.

Amylase is from the class of enzymes that break down or hydrolyze
starch. Starch containing foods are pasta, potatoes and rice. Amylase
is commonly found in pineapples, bananas, raisins, potatoes and
squash.

CELLULASE

Cellulase digests cellulose (fiber). Plants are a person's only
source of cellulase as the human body is unable to produce it. Chewing
liberates the cellulase out of the food, but when people eat raw
fruits and vegetables and don't chew properly the cellulase is never
released. Cellulase may also be lacking because of the way the food
was handled by the suppliers.

Cellulase is the enzyme that breaks down cellulose or fiber. Fiber is
found in foods like bran muffins, broccoli, vegetable soup, whole
grain bread and oatmeal. Some sources of cellulase are oranges,
celery, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, and apples.

PROTEASE

Protease is one of the most effective digestive enzymes secreted in
high concentrations by the human body. It is found in the stomach and
pancreatic juices and helps to digest protein. Protease is a class of
enzymes that breaks down or hydrolyzes, the peptide bonds that join
amino acids in a protein. The protein is broken down into its basic
building blocks, amino acids. Some sources of protease are pea pods,
lentils, alfalfa and navy beans.

        LACTASE

Lactase is an intestinal enzyme that breaks lactose (milk sugar) into
its two constituent sugars to render it absorbable. Humans produce
peak amounts of lactase in infancy, when milk is necessary for
survival; thereafter, the supply begins to diminish. Many people
cannot digest more than a small amount of milk because of a deficiency
of lactase.

LIPASE

Lipase aids in fat digestion, whereas pancreatic lipase digests fat in
a highly alkaline environment, lipases found in food fats work in a
more acidic environment.

This lipolytic or fat splitting enzyme Lapase is found in the blood,
pancreatic secretions and tissues. Common sources are avocados,
vegetable oil, rice, bran, millet, wheat germ, olive oil.

MALTASE

Maltase is a digestive enzyme, which breaks down malt sugars
(maltose), which are an intermediate product in the digestion of
starch. (May help relieve environmental sensitivities and allergies)

BROMELAIN

Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple that is beneficial to the
breakdown of proteins. Bromelain (Enzyme) is a strong anti-
inflammatory. The only other source of Bromelain is pineapple juice.
It is used by athletes to prevent post-workout soreness and is
believed to facilitate the healing of sports injuries.

SUCRASE

Sucrase is a digestive enzyme which breaks down sugars (sucrose)
found in some vegetables and many fruits, and sugar derived from sugar
cane, sugar beets, sorghum, molasses or maple sugar. Sucrase is
beneficial in helping prevent gastrointestinal problems and
discomfort.

Three years? Hmm... Sounds like, in context, that it took that long
for you to normalize from Tx....

I'd actually like to live until I die from outrageous sex....

I will look into and thank you for the info on LRT. I have been

wow, Alex.  how do you pack in all that stuff?  :)  Well actually I stopped
getting fatigued to the point where I could go walking for extended periods,
about six months following tx.  I had complicating factors that you didn't
appear to have as a result of tx.

 Here is something else to add to your brew...  It is coenzyme Q10 which
appears to assist the relationship between lipids (energy stores) and
mitochondria (energy distributors in cells)  The lipids get corrupted by the
gunk in your blood and apparently damage the mitochondrion.  (???)

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Co-enzyme-Q10-The-Powerful-Natural-Ally-of-Human-
Body-30319.shtml


Co-enzyme Q10, also known as vitamin Q10 or and ubiquinone turns out to be
one of the most powerful compounds in our body, that acts as and antioxidant
and is also used by the body to produce energy at molecular level.

Co-enzyme Q10 can be found in and around all the cells in human body. It can
be found in the lipid (fatty) membranes that surround all cells, as well as
within a cell, in the lipid membranes surrounding the various little
cellular "organs", such as mitochondria and microsomes.

Inside the cells, co-enzyme Q10 plays an important role in the Electron
Transport Chain (ETC) found within mitochondria. Known as the molecular
"power plants," mitochondria are vital for our life, as they produce most of
the oxygen needed for other crucial in our organism.

The oxygen produced by mithocondria is especially useful for the ETC, which
is closely connected with the adenosine triphosphate molecule (ATP) in our
bodies, the most important energy organic carrier. The electron chain uses
the oxygen in order to produce the ATP bioenergy, without which the infinite
number of processes and reactions that take place in our bodies would stop.

Therefore, co-enzyme Q10 is a very beneficial compound that has the
following properties: is a very potent anti-aging factor, enhances memory
and energy, annihilates the harmful effects of anti-oxidants and helps
preventing or treating various types of cancer, heart disorders or other
serious illnesses. Co-enzyme Q10 was also found beneficial in reducing the
severity of AIDS.

Playing a highly important function in cells activity and energy producing,
coenzyme Q10 decreases high blood pressure, maintains the rhythm of the
heart normal, and prevents arteriosclerosis by reducing the accumulation of
oxidized fats in blood vessels. For patients that suffer from chest
disorders, it is a chest pain reliever and improves physical activity
toleration in angina sufferers.

Co-enzyme Q10 intake has also positive effects on memory and concentration,
reducing brain lesions and being testing for treating people that suffer
from memory loss and disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.

The vitamin-like compound was found very beneficial against various types
of cancer, as it reduces the uncontrollable number of cancer cells and also
stimulates the substances in the immune system that fight against these
abnormal cells. Until now, studies found that Q10 can reduce symptoms of
breast cancer, but other trials are being developed in order to discover
ways of preventing or even treating other cancers.

Q10 deficiency is usually met in patients that suffer from all kinds of
cardiovascular, respiratory, mental or immune system disorders. When our
body is deficient in Q10, this leads to a degeneration of our general
health, weight gain, lack of energy and stamina etc. This is why Q10 intake
whether from foods or supplements is crucial for preserving a good
functioning of our organism.

Besides within human body, co-enzyme Q10 is also to be found in all living
things like bacteria, plants and animals. The intake of lipids is closely
linked with the co-enzyme, as Q10 is fat soluble. Therefore, the absorption
of this vitamin-like compound into our body from external sources is lower
on an empty stomach and greater when taken with high lipid content food.

The highest amount of Q10 is found in red meat, especially in animal organs
such as liver and heart. This is from where it was firstly isolated by
specialists to create Q10 supplements. However, when we want to benefit from
the vitamin found in red meat, we should know that it is better preserved
when meat is not exposed to high temperatures, like when frying or
overcooking it. On the other hand, boiling was proven to have no negative
effects upon reducing the amount of the co-enzyme in red meat.

Also, scientists have shown that organs from grass fed animals contain to
ten times more vitamin Q10 than organs of grain-fed animals.

Another rich source of Q10 is found in reindeer muscle meat, almost as much
as in red meat, as compared to beef or pork that are poorer sources of the
co-enzyme.

Substantial amounts of Q10 can also be found in certain types of oils, such
as oils extracted from soybean, rapeseed and sesame, but if the oils are
altered during the technological process, the amount of the vitamin-like
compound can dramatically decrease.

very positive effect on the hypothalamus, and the pineal and pituitary
glands. It is a brain food 'par excellence.'

Klamath Lake Algae is a wonderful source of Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll
is essential to all life on earth. It is so similar to heme
(hemoglobin) in our blood that only a single molecule separates the
two; magnesium at the center of chlorophyll, and iron at the center of
the heme in red blood cells. Chlorophyll provides a powerful
oxygenating effect on the blood. Its oxygenating influence on the body
can speed healing and assist your immune system. Since it is alkaline,
it can bring back the balance in pH to blood rendered acidic by a diet
too heavy in protein. Since 1780, when scientific research first began
on chlorophyll, studies have shown it protects against and detoxifies
a wide range of chemical pollutants and radiation, purifies your blood
and stimulates circulation. It is easily digestible because it is
water soluble and rich in fat-soluble substances such as vitamin K,
which helps blood clot and prevents oxalate crystals (precursors to
kidney stones) from forming in urine.

its silicon and sulfur content combined with its powers as a diuretic.
It is also useful in normalizing the blood pressure.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Brussels sprouts contain sinigrin, which is in a class of cancer-
fighting compounds called glucosinolates, according to studies a
single dose of sinigrin suppresses the development of precancerous
cells in rats.

A breakdown product of sinigrin, called allyl isothiocyanate, is not
only responsible for the smell and taste of brussels sprouts, but also
promotes precancerous cells of the digestive system to commit suicide
-- a natural process called apoptosis.

ONION

The Onion and its stalks have the power to prevent and treat certain
illness. The onion is a stimulant and a mild counter irritant. Onions
can be used as an expectorant. Onion helps to liquefy phlegm and
prevent its recurrence.

blood flow, strengthening the heart, arteries, capillaries and nerves.
A general tonic, it is also specific for both circulatory and
digestive system. It may be used in flatulent dyspepsia and colic. If
there is insufficient peripheral circulation, leading to cold hands
and feet and possibly chilbains, Cayenne may be used, also for
debility and for warding off colds. Capsicum meets the debility of
young and old, but particularly useful in the elderly, when body-heat
is low, vitality depressed and reaction sluggish. Tired, painful
muscles, stiffened joints and relaxation of any part are common
conditions in the elderly that are, in a measure, rectified by
Capsicum.

ASPARAGUS

Research has proven that asparagus does contain several substances
which are vital to overall health. Asparagus is very rich in Folacin,
a B vitamin which aids in the duplication of cells for growth, repair
of the body and blood cell reproduction in the bone marrow. Folacin
has recently been discovered to have a profound effect in the
prevention of two of the most common neurological birth defects: spina
bifida and anencephaly. Folacin has also been established as a
nutrient that prevents cervical cancer.

According to the National Cancer Institute, asparagus is the highest

11 NUTRIENT DENSE SEEDS, NUTS, &
SPROUTS**

FLAX SEED

Flax is the richest vegetable source of Omega 3 essential fatty acids.
It is also the richest known source of lignans, a class of
phytonutrients that have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and
anti-carcinogenic properties.

Flax Seed is an exceptional source of dietary fiber, both soluble, and
insoluble. Flax is high in boron, a trace mineral that helps the body
hold onto calcium.

The National Cancer Institute has chosen flax as one of the first five
primary foodstuffs for study to determine health benefits of natural
foods. From the Omega 3 essential fatty acids, the body produces
series 3 prostaglandin's. These act on the cellular level in a variety
of disease fighting ways, that include anti-clotting actions in the
blood stream, anti-inflammatory responses that alleviate or prevent
such auto-immune diseases such as: arthritis, psoriasis, and asthma.
They are involved in mechanisms of transport and metabolism of both
cholesterol and triglycerides that result in a strong lowering effect
on both of these cardiovascular factors.

Series 3 prostaglandins increase vitality, energy, and stamina due to
their involvement in the body's process of oxidation, which, on a
cellular level, is the way molecules are broken down to produce
energy.

Flax Seed is rich in: Essential fatty acid Omega 3, soluble and
insoluble fiber, and boron. Flax Seed contains natural anti-oxidants,
and has positive effects on dry skin, tissue inflammation and immune
system dysfunction.

OAT BRAN

Oat Bran has received considerable attention in the medical community
for its role in helping reduce blood cholesterol. Nutrition experts
believe that beta glucans, the water-soluble fibers present in oat
bran, act as an active agent for cholesterol inhibition.

Since oat bran is a food and supplies beneficial fiber to assist in
regulating gastro-intestinal function as well, nutritionists recommend
increased daily intake.

Studies done on hypercholesterolemic subjects have confirmed that
certain fiber, including oat bran fiber, has substantial cholesterol-
lowering effects.

BROWN RICE

Brown rice flour. This flour comes from unpolished brown rice. It has
more nutritional value than white rice flour because it includes bran
from the hull of the grain.

Brown rice is far more nutritious than white rice. Because it retains
its oil-rich germ and bran, it is packed with vitamins E, B, and
minerals, as well as fiber and protein.

Brown Rice is rich in B vitamins and is thought to reduce the risk of
cancer of the colon, reduces cholesterol level, and fiber-deficiency
diseases (diabetes, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, chronic constipation,
and over sensitivity syndrome).

ALMOND SEED*

Almonds have the highest protein content of any nut and are a valuable
food for vegans and vegetarians. Almonds are rich in minerals,
magnesium, potassium, phosphorous and especially high in calcium.

Almonds are high in mono-unsaturated fat which helps to lower
cholesterol, especially the bad cholesterol (LDL). Almonds contain a
high degree of oleic acid, which is believed to be the ingredient in
olive oil that protects against heart disease.

SUNFLOWER SEED

Sunflower Seed is rich in a number of components that have been shown
to protect against cardiovascular and other diseases and to act as
antioxidants and anticarcinogens; thus the kernel can be considered a
functional food.

Sunflower Seeds contain healthy unsaturated fats, protein and fibre,
plus important nutrients like vitamin E, selenium, copper, zinc,
folate, iron and phytochemicals.

Sunflower seeds contain both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat ?
the types of fat that may protect the heart. Clinical studies show
that higher unsaturated fat diets may be preferable even to low-fat
diets because they lower total cholesterol. Almost 90% of the fat in
sunflower seeds is good unsaturated fat.

Sunflower seeds are the best whole food source of vitamin E. Vitamin E
is an antioxidant that may protect against heart disease by getting
rid of harmful molecules called free radicals that can lead to
arterioscleroses. Selenium works with vitamin E as an antioxidant and
protects cells from damage that may lead to cancer, heart disease, and
other health problems.

Sunflower seeds are a good natural source of Zinc, an important
mineral vital for keeping your immune system strong, fending off
infections and healing wounds.

Sunflower Seeds are high in protein, low in carbohydrates an excellent
complementary source of the beneficial mono-unsaturated omega-9 EFA,
which maintains 'good' cholesterol (HDL) and lowers 'bad' cholesterol
(LDL). Good source of energy for the body.

WHEAT
SPROUT*

A natural source of chlorophyll, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium,
vitamins and minerals aids in the detoxification and repair of
cellular membranes. Wheat sprouts provide antioxidant enzymes and been
shown to remarkebely enhance the body’s production of superoxide
dismustases and catalases. Chlorophyll is the active factor in wheat
sprout, which inhibits the metabolic activity of carcinogens.

Wheat sprout contains substances which seem to revitalize cells and
reduce the rate of cell destruction. Wheat sprouts display high
enzymatic activity and contain Catalase, Glutathione Peroxidase,
Methionine Reductase, as well as Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), a
substance which neutralizes the most common free radical agent in the
cells - superoxide.

AMARANTH SPROUT*

A grain (although related to spinach) with origins in Central America,
it largely disappeared following the Spanish conquest.

Amaranth is a hardy crop that is resistant to drought and cold and is
higher in fat and oil than other grains. It contains high-quality
protein and is also high in fiber with an abundance of calcium, iron,
and vitamin C.
Amaranth is extremely high in protein, especially including the rarer
lysine and sulfur?containing amino acids. Amaranth is an important
option for hypoglycemics, and others with blood sugar problems, as it
avoids the excessive unbalanced starch that can cause such devestating
effects on the insulin and blood sugar.

PUMPKIN SEED

Pumpkin seeds are a superfood. The seeds are rich in the amino acids
alanin, glycine and glutamic acid, and also contain high amounts of
zinc and Omega 3 essential fatty acids. They contain high quantities
of protein, iron and phosphorous and even a tablespoon a day would be
a good addition to any healthy diet, particularly for vegans and
vegetarians. Pumpkin seeds are also low in carbohydrates.

Studies have shown that pumpkin seeds may reduce hormonal damage to
prostate cells, thus possibly reducing the risk of developing prostate
cancer. The seeds have been used to treat urinary tract infections.

Pumpkin Seeds are a tasty source of vitamins and minerals,
particularly beta-carotene, vitamin C and potassium. Historically
beneficial in maintaining male and female health. ( A good source of
omega-6 and omega-9 EFAs)

CHIA SEED

'Chia' is the Mayan word for strength. Also the seed that is used to
grow the popular Chia Pet?.

Chia seed is a complete source of dietary protein, providing all the
essential amino acids. Compared to other seeds and grains, chia seed
provides the highest source of protein, between 19 to 23 percent
protein by weight. One of the unique qualities of the chia seed is its
ability to absorb more than nine times its volume in water or other
liquid, thereby having the potential to help those trying to lose
weight. This ability can also prolong hydration and retain
electrolytes in body fluids, especially during exertion or exercise.
Normal fluid retention ensures electrolyte dispersion across cell
membranes, maintains fluid balances, and aids normal cellular
function.

The gel-forming property of chia seed tends to slow digestion and
sustain balanced blood sugar levels, which can be helpful in
preventing or controlling diabetes.

Chia also facilitates the growth and regeneration of tissue during
pregnancy and lactation, and aids the regeneration of muscles for
conditioning athletes and bodybuilders. For the dieter, this means
feeling full with no more peaks and valleys in blood sugar levels.

Research is being conducted to show how chia may prevent and/or
overcome Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes.

Chia seeds contain high levels of both ornega-3 and omega-6 oils,
needed by all people, but especially by pregnant women or those with
PMS.

Chia seeds contain greater alpha-linolenic acid concentrations than
any other seed or grain. This substance lowers the risk of heart
disease, blurred vision, and numbness.

Native people have used chia gel on wounds, for colds and sore
throats, for upset stomachs, body odors, prostate problems, and even
constipation.

Chia seed contains large amounts of B vitamins and calcium. By volume,
one ounce of chia contains two percent B-2 (riboflavin), 13 percent
niacin, and 29 percent thiamin, and trace amounts of all B vitamins.
In roughly two ounces of chia (100 grams), there are 600 milligrams of
calcium, contrasted with 120 milligrams of calcium in the same amount
of milk. That’s five times as much calcium than milk!

Chia also contains boron, which is needed for bones. With much of the
nations soil boron depleted, we simply are not getting enough boron in
our daily diets. Boron is needed to aid the metabolism of calcium,
magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus in bones and for muscle growth.
Boron also can increase the levels of natural estrogen.

Early results in current cancer research with chia show promise in
this area. There is also good indicators of a link chia seeds have in
the prevention or slowing of cancer development.

Chia is an excellent source of fiber.

SESAME SEED

The sesame seed, one of the smallest of all the seeds, is packed with
goodness - high in protein, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and phytic
acid. Low in carbohydrates and cholesterol free.

The seeds are an aid to digestion, stimulating blood circulation and
benefiting the nervous system. Sesame seeds benefit the body as a
whole, especially the liver, kidney, spleen and stomach. Its high oil
content lubricates the intestines and nourishes all the internal
viscera.

There is often concern that vegans do not get a sufficient amount of
zinc or iron in their diet. Including sesame seeds in your diet is an
ideal way of improving your Zinc and Iron intake.

Sesame seeds help to protect the body from free radicals. Phytic acid
could inhibit cancer, specifically of the colon.

83+ ACTIVE ENZYMES & FULVIC MINERAL BLEND

AMYLASE

Amylase is one of the two most effective digestive enzymes that are
secreted in high concentrations by the human body. Amylase, found in
saliva, breaks down carbohydrates (starch). In addition, pancreatic
and intestinal juices contain this enzyme.

Amylase is from the class of enzymes that break down or hydrolyze
starch. Starch containing foods are pasta, potatoes and rice. Amylase
is commonly found in pineapples, bananas, raisins, potatoes and
squash.

CELLULASE

Cellulase digests cellulose (fiber). Plants are a person's only
source of cellulase as the human body is unable to produce it. Chewing
liberates the cellulase out of the food, but when people eat raw
fruits and vegetables and don't chew properly the cellulase is never
released. Cellulase may also be lacking because of the way the food
was handled by the suppliers.

Cellulase is the enzyme that breaks down cellulose or fiber. Fiber is
found in foods like bran muffins, broccoli, vegetable soup, whole
grain bread and oatmeal. Some sources of cellulase are oranges,
celery, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, and apples.

PROTEASE

Protease is one of the most effective digestive enzymes secreted in
high concentrations by the human body. It is found in the stomach and
pancreatic juices and helps to digest protein. Protease is a class of
enzymes that breaks down or hydrolyzes, the peptide bonds that join
amino acids in a protein. The protein is broken down into its basic
building blocks, amino acids. Some sources of protease are pea pods,
lentils, alfalfa and navy beans.

        LACTASE

Lactase is an intestinal enzyme that breaks lactose (milk sugar) into
its two constituent sugars to render it absorbable. Humans produce
peak amounts of lactase in infancy, when milk is necessary for
survival; thereafter, the supply begins to diminish. Many people
cannot digest more than a small amount of milk because of a deficiency
of lactase.

LIPASE

Lipase aids in fat digestion, whereas pancreatic lipase digests fat in
a highly alkaline environment, lipases found in food fats work in a
more acidic environment.

This lipolytic or fat splitting enzyme Lapase is found in the blood,
pancreatic secretions and tissues. Common sources are avocados,
vegetable oil, rice, bran, millet, wheat germ, olive oil.

MALTASE

Maltase is a digestive enzyme, which breaks down malt sugars
(maltose), which are an intermediate product in the digestion of
starch. (May help relieve environmental sensitivities and allergies)

BROMELAIN

Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple that is beneficial to the
breakdown of proteins. Bromelain (Enzyme) is a strong anti-
inflammatory. The only other source of Bromelain is pineapple juice.
It is used by athletes to prevent post-workout soreness and is
believed to facilitate the healing of sports injuries.

SUCRASE

Sucrase is a digestive enzyme which breaks down sugars (sucrose)
found in some vegetables and many fruits, and sugar derived from sugar
cane, sugar beets, sorghum, molasses or maple sugar. Sucrase is
beneficial in helping prevent gastrointestinal problems and
discomfort.

The product is produced from live, whole food through a low-temp
drying process. I add water to the powder...

Now to explore the ingredients for possible sources of what you've
called Q10 and also see if some of the ingredients do essentially what
LRT does.

Still, if what I've been putting in my body for months does supply
what you've given research notes about, I'm back to square one....

I'm sorry to hear this continues Alex.

I said it before and I'll say it again. What you are describing sounds
amazinly like "Depression" to me, having had years and year of
experience with that nasty little demon as well....have you looked
into that as a possibility?

I've considered depression and still visit the psychiatrist at the VA--
I weened myself off the antidepressants months ago because they were
making me more depressed...
