B3 minimized stroke damage

Dr. Weeks Comment:    Niacin does so much benefit – lowers bad cholesterol,  minimized detox discomfort from alcohol, enhances memory, reduces neurofibrillary plaque deposition to reduce risk of Alzheimers and now, it minimizes stroke risk, that the doctors are taking to calling this natural, God given vitamin A …..  DRUG!   Yikes!

Vitamin B3 shows early promise [...]

Calcium Channel blockers block Parkinson’s disease development

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:   Nice to chance upon these off-label, non-FDA approved benefits.

Regarding MS and your cerebral venous drainage

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:   Science marches on (delightfully!)  and,  in the process, experts become embarrassed, truth morphs and conventional wisdom is trumped by actual observations and common sense. Also, markets shudder and businesses become obsolete.  How would you like to be in the camera film business or the classic non-digital watch business
(Historical fact: Swiss watch [...]

MS break through and paradigm challenge

Dr. Weeks’  Comment:   Italy has a fine tradition of innovation in neurology and Dr. Zamboni’s new research places him squarely in that celebrated group.  In essence: a vascular constriction preventing easy drainage of cerebral veins shows up coincident with MS symptoms and a safe surgical procedure (balloon venoplasty) offers clinical improvement.  How is this [...]

Dr. Z and the cause of MS – the article to read.

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:  Dr. Zamboni, a colleague in Italy, has demonstrated the best of scientific integrity:  to see what we all see but to see it in the light of insight and thus to see it “newly”.  His claims need to be taken seriously and scrutinized reasonably by neurologists who are currently only promoting MS [...]

Hepatitis C: little-recognized [...]

Cholesterol and Brain Development (know someone suffering with Parkinson’s?)

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:  Choose your experts carefully.  Run from those who see things as good or bad. Cholesterol came to national, worldwide attention solely because Big Pharma could make billions of dollars selling drugs to lower it.  However, that was only possible after doctors were taught to teach you, in turn, that cholesterol was “bad”.  [...]

Epstein Barr and MS

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:    We routinely test for EBV and HHV-6 in our MS patients as well as selenium, thyroid,  vitamin D3 and iodine levels.  Now the research is catching up with clinical knowledge. Make sure your neurologist knows about this info. It is NOT new (40 years old!!) but few neurologists pay attention to the [...]

Hyaluronic acid – still the best!

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:   This is further validation of our Corrective Protocol enhancing natural production of the healing natural agent- bonus…   bee venom accomplishes this also.
