Whole Body Health!Establishment Taboo BrokenMainstream Admits Dietary Supplements BeneficialUnsettling News For Takers, Makers Of Statin DrugsBy Tom Valentine By Tom Valentine The Lancet, a prestigious mainstream journal, is now touting calcium and vitamin D supplements instead of fortified products (milk etc.) and prescription drugs for people with brittle bone syndrome. And thats good. But Lancet has left out some necessary information in the fight against osteoporosis you need to know.

(ALS) is the nerve degeneration disease that is most often referred to by the name of its most famous victimLou Gehrig. Its rare and very deadly, and it has recently been connected as a possible side effect of taking of statin drugs.* This latest news emerged from mountains of computerized statistics wherein the numbers of statin drug takers and the numbers of adverse events showed ALS cases far beyond so-called norms. Ralph Edwards, director of the World Health Organizations drug monitoring center, and Dr. Ana Szarfman of the FDA both noted the number of ALS cases listed among those known to be taking statins was much higher than expected. We are told that this fact created a dilemma. According to the July 3, 2007 Wall Street Journal: [H]eart attacks are a leading cause of death, and statins claim to have helped millions of people reduce their heart risk. However, the presumption that statins save millions of lives is not at all well documented. In fact, it has been challenged more than once in the peer-reviewed literature. Upon closer examination, statins have only one well-documented valuethe huge amounts of money flowing into drug comn pany coffers.

enerally speaking, the established medical monopoly refuses to give dietary supplements their due. In fact, they go out of the way to denigrate dietary supplements in the media. So why did the August 25, issue of The Lancet headline the efficacy of calcium and vitamin D for prevention of osteoporotic fractures? [Founded by Thomas Wakley, The Lancet has been publishing in England since 1823.Ed.] Drugs designed to prevent osteoporosis are notorious losers with bad side effects and the establishment has fortified foods with calcium and vitamin D for decades without noticeable results. Brittle bones are still pandemic, especially in aging women. And Lancet says supplements can help. And they can. But when it comes to osteoporosis, all the calcium and vitamin D in the world will not make strong bones if you are deficient in vitamin Kand nearly everyone is. Everything in your body works in biochemical cycles, which is why nutrients are so important. The amazing molecular signaling systems are just now beginning to be understood by scientists. There are two key cells in bone building and maintenanceosteoblasts, that build new bone and replace worn out cells, and osteoclasts, that take away the worn and weary bone cells so that fresh new osteoblasts can function. The bone cell cycle depends on many molecular steps with the most important step being the synthesis of a special protein called GLA-protein osteocalcin. Osteocalcin synthesis cannot take place without vitamin K.

G

The establishment has not yet informed the general public of the importance of vitamin K2 in the battle against osteoporosis. Its a good bet that only about one in a hundred bone specialists tells patients about vitamin K2. Many clinical studies have proved that taking vitamin K2 orally not only stimulates bone formation but, at the same time suppresses harmful bone resorption. Vitamin K2 sustains the lumbar bone mineral density thereby preventing hip fractures in patients with age-related osteoporosis. Found in egg yolk and natto, vitamin K2 also prevents calcium buildup in the arteries which is a factor in hardening of the arteries. Anyone can see that vitamin K2 is more than a little competition for the side-effect-laden bisphosphonate drugs (Fosamax, Actonel etc.) and all the calcium and vitamin D in n the world will not result in healthy bones without it. Tom Valentine has been writing about nutrition and alternative medicine since 1966.

Inside this Issue:Cutting U.S. Health Care CostsIn such an advanced nation as the United States, cutting health care costs should be easy, right? Not when the mainstream medical establishment stands in your way. See page B-2.

More Proof for Vitamin CThis issue were revisiting the work of a forgotten scientist who said we all need more vitamin C than we are getting, and much more than the mainstreams official recommended daily dosage. See page B-6.

Breeding FDA-Approved KillersWhy does the FDA approve wonder drugs that are shown to turn kids into killers? See page B-9.

*I oppose taking statins because they are not necessary for two reasons. First the cholesterol-causes-heart-disease thesis is mostly bunk, and secondly a dietary supplement does a better job of lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and in bolstering HDL cholesterol at the same time, with only beneficial side effectsits called pantethine. University of Minnesota clinical research backing the supplement pantethine is never mentioned in the mainstream medias coverage of statins, which have plenty of peerreviewed controversy along with their exceptionally lucrative revenue.

Race Plays Factor in Effect of DrugsThirty years after groundbreaking study, scientists still puzzled by effects of race upon the effect of prescription drugs. See page B-10.

Electro-Magnetic Fields U.S. Health Care Among WorstAFP health correspondent Jack Phillips tells us why America is the most expensive place in the world to purchase health services, but ranks so low in the quality of the care you receive. See page B-4. From electric blankets, blenders and razors to fluorescent light bulbs, is our proximity to high- and low-level electromagnetic fields harming our minds and bodies as natural healers have been saying all along? See page B-8.

Cutting Health Care Costs Ought to Be Easy, Right?cipitously. Christopher Reeve might never have been paralyzed if he had received DMSO intravenously after his injury. Dr. Stanley Jacobs demonstrated its capabilities by using it to help paralyzed paraplegics regain use of their limbs. In 1980, then-Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.) attempted to interest Sen. Ted Kennedys sub-committee on health in making DMSO available to the people without success. More savings would result if intravenous vitamin C therapy (IVC) were made available for a multiplicity of diseases. Ascorbic acid, vitamin C, has been mischaracterized. It is not just a cure for scurvy, it is much more. In the form of ascorbates, it is really a liver metabolite which the body would use for many purposes if our ancestors hadnt lost the capability of making it internally about 20 million years ago. As noted in Cancer and Vitamin C by Cameron and Pauling, ascorbate infusions were used for years in Scotland to improve the quality of life of cancer patients and reduce their needs for opiates to ease pain. They can improve quality of lives of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and kill cancer cells, too. Dr. Frederick Klenner, BS, MS, MD found that IVCs were useful across the board in his medical practice. They not only ensured the production of healthy babies, quickly countered the toxins of poisonous insects and snakes, but were even able to cure his polio patients, some of whom were paralyzed. Unfortunately they are not readily available. Chelation therapy for cardiovascular disease and removal of toxic metals can reduce costs. It is an effective competitor for open heart surgery. Its cost of $5,000 compares favorably with the $50,000 price of the surgery. Very few people are damaged by chelation, but many are injured or killed by surgery. Ten years ago two physicians were providing this service in my area. They were forced to cease. Low-dose whole body radiation, first tested in 1975 at Harvard Medical School and, in recent years, in Japan, has been approved by the FDA for use in treating lymphomas. In a Japanese test, 84% of patients were still alive after 13 years. Allowing insurance companies to control the practice of medicine is not in the best interest of the people who need medical care. Unfortunately that was happening in Dr. Shealys time and it is continuing today. One of my physician friends is not being paid for services rendered to a patient because an insurance company doesnt approve of the therapy used. In the particular case I suspect that there may be some collusion with the medical monopoly to discourage use of the treatment provided. Considering the fact that the practice of medicine is an art and not a science, why should we believe that insurance company policies administered by their clerks will provide us with first class medical services? The medical monopolys foundations were laid more

By Jack Phillips etter healthcare at lower cost should be easy. Introducing unused advances in medical science made during the 20th century into the art of medicine would be a big step. A government-sponsored medical monopoly stands in the way. It denies freedom of choice in medical care. It has discouraged the introduction of many advances in medical science. Adoption of suppressed technologies, already proven to be practical and useful, could substantially reduce the $2.1 trillion in annual health care expenditures. Dr. Julian Whitaker, in his August 2007 newsletter Health and Healing, reveals that $24 billion could be saved over the next 5 years, just from targeted use of a few nutritional supplements, according to a recent report based on a review of the medical literature. Vitamin D and calcium can reduce hip fractures. Fish oil can reduce coronary heart disease. Folic acid for expectant mothers can reduce spina bifida and other neural tube defects in their babies. Leutein and zeaxanthin can reduce macular degeneration. The recent discovery that vitamin D is able to turn on a gene which energizes our immune systems, when taken in large enough quantities, should open the way for additional savings. The combination of vitamin D and vitamin C, one of the few antiviral substances, could have a substantial effect on the incidence of many diseases if used judiciously. Influenza, for example, could cease to be a problem: no vaccines needed. Daniel Haley, in his book Politics in Healing devotes a chapter to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). If the FDA were to withdraw its unscientific objections to the use of this material, which The New York Times called the closest thing to a wonder drug on April 3, 1963, the cost of dealing with strokes and spinal cord injuries would drop probably pre-

B

than 100 years ago with a reorganization of the American Medical Association (AMA). This empowered a few politically savvy physicians. The ringleader was the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The AMAs Flexner Report in 1910, judicious lobbying, political contributions and the managed defeat of political opponents resulted in laws which gave the AMA control of medical education, the practice of allopathic medicine and the operation of hospitals. The advertising income of the JAMA provided the wherewithal that made this possible. Without doubt the pharmaceutical industry was a major advertiser as it is today. Whether or not that industry played a role in the political machinations which generated the organization of establishment medicine in this country is not easily determinable, but it certainly profits from the result. For many years allopathic physicians have been trained to use approved therapies in accordance with what are called Standards of Care. These are based on frequent reviews of current practice by the majority of physicians. The Standards of Care provide a defense against charges of malpractice: I did what everybody else does. New therapies, particularly if they produce better results with lower costs to patients, become serious threats to those practicing in accordance with the Standards of Care. Harry Hoxeys cancer treatments provide an example. The AMA first attempted to buy control of his therapy and when this was not possible it harassed him for years. Finally, after he had successfully operated the largest cancer clinic in the world in Texas for 20 years, the legislature there was induced to pass a law which made it illegal for physicians to work for non-physicians, and he was forced to close it. His treatments cost $400 for lifetime care, and indigents got them free. They are still available in Mexico for $3,500, and indigents still get them free. While wealthy Americans can seek alternatives to low quality medical services in other countries, most people are forced to take what they can get. We dont have freedom of choice in health care and physicians are not trained in many beneficial medical therapies. In the April 2002 issue of Life Extension magazine, William Faloon disclosed that his foundation has been spearheading consumer protests about the monopolistic advantages that pharmaceutical companies enjoy because of FDA regulations and policies. Their approval requirements are so expensive that few companies can afford to compete. As a result Americans pay the highest prices in the world for their prescription medications. Pharmaceuticals kill almost 200,000 people every year, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. Why should we accept this carnage and its exorbitant cost when kinder, gentler and less expensive therapies lie within our grasp? We have been deprived of freedom of choice in healthcare for too long. It is time for a change. Ron Paul, MD, representative from Texas and a candidate for president, is trying to obtain freedom of choice in n medical care for Americans.

He has a degree in chemical engineering, is an emeritus member of the American Chemical Society and is a member of the society of Sigma Xi.

These nerves transmit the sounds collected by the outer ear (the fleshy part of the ear that we can see) to the brain. When theyre damaged by loud noise, infection or just the wear and tear of aging, they cause both hearing loss and the phantom sounds of tinnitus. Frankly, mainstream medicine has thrown up its hands at the problem of tinnitus. Theres no drug or surgical procedure to treat it. So many doctors recommend hearing aids (that can be expensive) or prescribe an anti-depressant to help you relax. Heres the kicker, though. Many anti-depressants and other medications actually make the noise in your ears worse! I was astonished to learn that more than 200 medications list tinnitus as a side effectincluding two that are so widely-used they are probably in your medicine cabinet right now. changes all that in this groundbreaking book.

U.S. Health Care Among Worlds WorstBy Jack Phillips he United States has the most expensive health care in the world and close to the lowest quality according to the World Health Organization. Health care costs $2.1 trillion, $7,000 per person and 17% of the gross national product each year.. It is bankrupting individuals, businesses, and federal and state governments. The cause is a plethora of laws crafted to empower a medical monopoly which has successfully prevented effective competition for almost 100 years. The 1910 Flexner report started the process and caused many medical schools to close. The American Medical Association initiated laws which gave it control of medical schools, hospitals and individual physicians, financing its activities with advertising income generated by its Journal of the American Medical Association. A substantial part of this income was supplied by the pharmaceutical industry. At present the industry also subsidizes its regulator, the Food and Drug Administration, with millions of dollars a year for drug testing and spends about $100 million a year on lobbyists and campaign contributions. In 2002 it paid out $36 billion in dividends to shareholders How is all this money generated? The industry buys low and sells high. A course of some recent cancer drugs costs about $25,000. How much these actually cost to produce is anybodys guess, but judging from

T

research published by the Life Extension Foundation, the margins are substantial. For example the active ingredient of the well known drug Prozac, which retailed for about $200 per 100 in 2003, actually cost 11 cents per 100. The medical monopoly has prevented the general use of a number of advancements in medical science. Royal Raymond Rifes ray machine, which years ago in California was able to quickly cure terminal cancer patients with three-minute exposures to its blue light, was one of them. These machines were declared illegal to use and confiscated out of physicians offices by the FDA because experts, who neither examined nor tested the machines, decreed they couldnt work. Daniel Haleys book Politics in Healing and my book Suppressed Science provide other examples. It is necessary to protect the public from those who use dangerous medications, radiation and invasive procedures like surgery, the province of allopathic physicians. They need to be licensed. But people should be free to obtain healing services which are not so dangerous, from the competitors of these physicians. They may not need to be licensed if the therapies they practice are not dangerous. Licensed physicians should also be allowed to freely practice their art and not be limited by state medical boards to approved therapies. Multimillion dollar double-blind, placebo-controlled tests are required by the FDA before approval of new therapies. But some drugs, like Vioxx, kill a lot of people after they are found safe and effective. These tests also provide an insurmountable hurdle to the introduction of any new therapy, however innocuous. There are 45 million Americans who have no medical insurance and have difficulty getting care. For example, recently a part time student in Connecticut,

without health insurance, went to a hospital complaining of difficulty walking. He was rushed through a series of tests, a CAT SCAN and a blood transfusion and presented with a bill for about $6,000 which he was unable to pay. His efforts to obtain additional, needed care were unsuccessful. People with insurance cannot be assured of good medical care because insurance company employees are invading the province of medical professionals. They exercise the power of the purse and often decide that they will not pay for the medicines or the procedures that physicians prescribe. A physician friend recently prescribed a medication for a patient. The patients insurance company refused to pay, suggesting a different medication the physician considered inappropriate. The patient, over the objections of the physician, opted to take only the medication that would be paid for by the insurance company. The absence of competition has helped to create disastrous conditions in the medical care industry. The power exerted by the FDA, state medical review boards and the AMA needs to be substantially diminished. Old laws need to be discarded or revised and new laws which permit constructive competition to enter the medical market place need to be enacted. Insurance companies must be confined to their proper function and not allowed to engage in the practice of medicine by using the power of the purse. There is a lot for incumbent politicians to accomplish before the next election. Judge their fitness by their response to this n challenge.

Grow Young with HGH

F

rom the landmark book Grow Young with HGH comes the most powerful, over-the-counter health supplement in the history of man. Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thought by the medical community to be necessary only to stimulate the body to full adult size and therefore unnecessary past the age of 20. Recent studies, however, have overturned this notion completely, discovering instead that the natural decline of Human Growth Hormone (HGH), from ages 21 to 61 (the average age at which there is only a trace left in the body) and is the reason why the the body ages and fails to regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age. Like a picked flower cut from the source, we gradually wilt physically and mentally and become vulnerable to a host of degenerative diseases, that we simply werent susceptible to in our early adult years. Modern medical science now regards aging as a disease that is treatable and preventable and that aging, the disease, is actually a compilation of various diseases and pathologies, from everything, like a rise in blood glucose and pressure to diabetes, skin wrinkling and so on. All of these aging symptoms can be stopped and rolled back by maintaining Growth Hormone levels in the blood at the same levels HGH exist-

ed in the blood when we were 25 years old. There is a receptorsite in almost every cell in the human body for HGH, so its regenerative and healing effects are very comprehensive. Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985 under the Reagan Orphan drug act, to treat dwarfism, was quickly recognized to stop aging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree. Since then, only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $20,000 US per year. Many in Hollywoods glamour sets, who never seem to age like you or I, have a special secret to tell, and even space pioneer and US Senator John Glenn stays vital with HGH. The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when the American Anti-aging Society, a group of doctors and scientists, developed an all-natural source product that would cause your own natural HGH to be released again and do all the remarkable things it did for you in your 20s. Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day. GHR now available in America, just in time for the aging Baby Boomers and everyone else from age 30 to 90 who doesnt want to age but would rather stay young, beautiful and healthy all of the time.

The new HGH releasers are winning converts from the synthetic HGH users as well, since GHR is just as effective, is oral instead of self-injectable and is very affordable. GHR is a natural releaser, has no known side effects, unlike the synthetic version and has no known drug interactions. Progressive doctors admit that this is the direction medicine is seeking to go, to get the body to heal itself instead of employing drugs. GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift in medicine and, like any modern leapfrog advance, many others will be left in the dust holding their limited, or useless drugs and remedies. It is now thought that HGH is so comprehensive in its healing and regenerative powers that it is today, where the computer industry was twenty years ago, that it will displace so many prescription and non-prescription drugs and health remedies that it is staggering to think of. The president of BIE Health Products, the American distributor, stated in a recent interview,Ive been waiting for these products since the 70s. We knew they would come, if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them! If you want to stay on top of your game, physically and mentally as you age, this product is a boon, especially for the highly skilled professionals who have made large investments in their education, and experience. Also with the failure of Congress to honor our seniors with pharmaceutical coverage policy, its more important than ever to take pro-active steps to safeguard your health. Continued use of GHR will make a radical difference in your health, HGH is particularly helpful to the elderly who, given a choice, would rather stay independent in their own home, strong healthy and alert enough to manage their own affairs, exercise and stay involved in their communities. Frank, age 85 walks two miles a day, plays golf, belongs to a dance club for seniors, has a girl friend again and doesnt need Viagra, passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home whenwe call GHR delivers. HGH is known to reverse Hemorrhoids, Multiple Sclerosis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Macular Degeneration, Cataracts, Colitus, Fibromyalgia, Angina, Chronic Fatigue, Diabetes, Hepatitis C, Rheumatoid Arthritis, High Blood Pressure, Sciatica, helps Kidney Dialysis and heart and stroke recovery.

We Need Much More Vitamin C In Our Diets than Were GettingStudies on importance of Vitamin C ignored by mainstreamBy Jack Phillips

A

determined medical scientist spent many years attempting to make the medical establishment aware of the importance of vitamin C. This substance, ascorbic acid, is present in our bodies as compounds called ascorbates. His research shows that we have within ourselves a remarkable system for fighting stress, toxins and disease vectors. Unfortunately, because we all have a genetic defect, it lacks an internal source of the needed ammunition. Frederick Klenner, BS, MS, MD, whose studious works have been ignored for 60 years, called minimum daily requirements for vitamin C an illegitimate child co-fathered by the National Academy of Science and the National Research Council. He said it was a tragic error in judgment. It is a colossal blunder that has been responsible for an enormous amount of pain, disease, death and medical expense. His article in the Journal of Nutrition (winter 1971) notes that the demands of our bodies for vitamin C or ascorbic acid go far beyond the scorbutic levels. He quotes the Department of Agricultures 1939 Yearbook: In fact even when there is not a single outward symptom of trouble a person may be in a state of vitamin C deficiency more dangerous than scurvy itself. When such a condition is not detected, and continues uncorrected, the teeth and bones will be damaged, and what may be even more serious, the blood stream is weakened to the point where it can no longer resist or fight infections not so easily cured as scurvy. Klenners list of factors affecting ascorbic acid needs include: age; habitssuch as smoking and

drinking; sleep, especially artificially induced sleep; trauma; kidney threshold; stress; season of the year; body chemistry; drugs; pesticides and body weight. Thus, a sick old woman in an apartment in New York can be expected to have different needs for ascorbic acid than a healthy young man on a farm in Iowa. The pathological syndromes of genetic diseases like phenylketoneuria, galactosemia, and alkatoneuria, which are all caused by the failure of inactive or defective genes to produce important enzymes, affect some of us. But we all were born with hypoascorbemia, first described and named by biochemist Irwin Stone. Our inability to produce the liver enzyme l-gulonolactone oxidase prevents us from making our own ascorbic acid. Most animals including dogs, cats, rats, lions and elephants are capable of internally satisfying their needs for this essential substance. A few like the primates, a fruit-eating bat and guinea pig also lack this ability. Lack of ascorbic acid causes scurvy, which ravaged crews of British naval vessels on long voyages. It resulted in extensive bleeding and general deterioration of the body. Autopsies disclosed conditions of the internal organs similar to those produced by cancer. Klenner suggested that intravenous megadoses of vitamin C, given in the form of sodium ascorbate, might reverse the cancer process. Some physicians, according to reports, have achieved positive results with this therapy which should be, but is not, part of the Standards of Care. The British found citrus fruits a solution to scurvy. The fact that demands for ascorbic acid are variable is clearly indicated by the experimentally determined ranges of production in animals capable of making

U P D AT Etheir own. Dr. Klenner mentions the rat, whose normal, unstressed production, converted to the equivalent needs of a 150 pound man, amount to between 1.8 and 4 grams per day. When stressed its equivalent production increased to over 15 grams per day. Applying this knowledge to the treatment of his obstetrical patients, Klenner prescribed 4 to 15 grams of ascorbic acid per day during gestation depending on need. During the last trimester 20% of them took 15 grams per day. A booster injection of 10 grams (as sodium ascorbate) was given to 80% of them on entering the hospital for delivery. The results were beneficial to the patients: Women who had previously aborted multiple times, did not abort; hemoglobin levels were easier to maintain; Leg cramps affected less than 3% and were always associated with getting out of vitamin C tablets; Labor was shorter and less painful; No postpartum hemorrhages were encountered; No patient required catheterization; Infants were all n robust. Nurses called them Vitamin C babies. Jack Phillips is a writer and scientist who lives in Massachusetts.

Health Activist Says Simple Supplementation With Vitamin D3 Could Have Amazing EffectsBacks up claims by offering U.S. government 50,000 bottles free of chargeBy Jack Phillips mune diseases, osteoarthritis, depression, pulmonary disorders, schizophrenia and cardiovascular diseases associated with inadequate vitamin D status. They also estimated a 200% increase in type I diabetes for vitamin D deficient children and 30 to 50% more cancers in vitamin D deficient people. These numbers should be of particular interest to people who live to the north of Boston like citizens of Saranac Lake. In these latitudes the winter sun does not provide the frequencies of ultraviolet radiation needed to convert cholesterol in the skin to vitamin D3. It is important to note that this vitamin can turn on an antimicrobial peptide gene which activates immune systems of mammals and provides a rapid response to infectious agents. It probably acts synergistically with vitamin C. Therefore it is particularly valuable to sick people. It has been suggested that lack of exposure to sunlight and insufficient vitamin D3 supplementation has substantial negative effects on the well being of hospital patients. The Life Extension Foundation has offered to supply 50,000 bottles containing 365 (1000 IU) capsules of vitamin D3 to the federal government, free of charge, to

n a recent letter to President Bush, William Faloon, co-founder of the Life Extension Foundation in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., stated that hundreds of thousands of lives and billions of dollars in healthcare expense can be saved each year by the simple expedient of having all Americans add at least 1,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D-3 per day to their diets. Research indicates that the present RDA of 400 IU is completely inadequate. His suggestion is supported by authors of an article published in the New England Journal of Medicines July18, 2007 issue. They calculated the following benefits: 78% reduction in diabetes in children taking 2000 IU per day in their first year of life 33% reduction in type II diabetes in those taking 800 IU per day plus calcium 72% reduction of falls in the elderly taking higher doses of D3 42% reduction in multiple sclerosis in women taking over 400 IU per day of D3 They documented increased incidences of autoim-

New Wonder Drugs Creating Killer KidsBy Julia Foster espite experiences linking prescribed drugs to treat depression and other mental illnesses in children to more depression, obesity and a rise in suicides, the Food and Drug Administration is allowing more on the market. The FDA has approved Risperdal, manufactured by Janssen LP of Titusville, N.J. for the treatment of schizophrenia in children ages 13-17 and for short-term treatment of bipolar disorder in ages 10-17. Until now, there had been no FDA-approved drug for the treatment of schizophrenia in children and only lithium is approved for treatment of bipolar conditions in children ages 12 and up. Approximately 2.4 million American adults, or about 1.1 % of the population ages 18 and older in a given year have schizophrenia, according to the National Institutes of Health. These drugs for mentally impaired children, known as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are supposed to maintain the brain chemical serotonin at appropriate levels but they have a horrible history of creating mass murderers (AFP April 23-30, 2007). Authorities believe Cho Seung-Hui had been taking medication for depression before killing 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech last April. If his drug use is confirmed, it will bring the total of known drug-induced killings to 61 Americans. Before the mass killings at Virginia Tech, at least 16 killers of school children used these powerful psychotropic drugs, such as in the Columbine High School killings in 1999. More than 44,000 adverse reports have been filed against Prozac, n citing 2,500 deathsmostly from suicides.

Drugs & Race:Surprising connection still puzzles scientistsBy James P. Tucker Jr.

H

ow you respond to some prescription drugs depends on whether you are white, black or Asian, comprehensive studies show. Researchers are also investigating whether Hispanics respond differently than white people. The studies date back to 1974, when Keh-Ming Lin moved from Taiwan to Seattle to finish his training in psychiatry. He was surprised to learn that the dosage of anti-psychotic drugs given to schizophrenic American patients was often 10 times higher than the dose for Taiwanese patients with the same illness. Determining the reasons for the differences became a full-time research project for Dr. Lin, who became associate professor of psychiatry at HarborUCLA Medical Center in Torrance. Dr. Lin is now a leading member of a group of scientists who are trying to learn why race appears to be an important factor in determining a patients sensitivity to the effects of medications. It has been established that facial flushing is a characteristic response to consuming alcohol in many Asians. This is because the enzymes that metabolize

alcohol do not work as efficiently in a huge percentage of Asiansespecially the Chinese and Japanese. This finding has led researchers to wonder whether Asians and others may respond differently to other drugs that affect the central nervous system. Physicians on both sides of the Pacific agree that sometimes there are dramatic differences in drug dosage requirements to achieve a therapeutic effect in Asian and Caucasian patients. This could be one reason why drugs that have been established as safe in one country must undergo new safety testing in other countries. Researchers throughout the world are demonstrating that ethnic origin can strongly influence the responses to therapeutic drugs. Ethnic groups studied range from Greenlanders to South African blacks. But most studies have involved Asians. Investigators conducting studies of other drugs besides those for mental illness are reporting significant racial differences in therapeutic results. For example, Dr. Hong-Hao Zhou and others at Vanderbilt University in Nashville found that men of Chinese origin have at least a two-fold greater sensitivity than white Americans to the effects of propranolol, a drug used to control blood pressure and heart rate.

Earlier studies had shown that blacks are far more likely to die of heart attacks than white Americans. Sickle cell anemia, a fatal disease, strikes blacks almost exclusively. Researchers are investigating these differences. Differences in diet and in attitude about the value of drug therapy could be cultural factors that may affect how different races respond to treatment. Studies show that the fact that blacks are significantly less educated and have lower incomes than whites is also an important cultural factor contributing to their shorter lifespans and generally poorer health. Researchers say that a dosage that is excessive because of the patients ethnic background was not taken into account could explain why some stop taking their medication and end up in the emergency room. Many poor people, especially blacks, are forced to choose between taking their prescribed medicine and eating at the end of a month while waiting for Social Security or welfare checks, researchers note. While studies show that ethnic differences create a biological reason for the varying effects of drugs, the influence of lifestyle and culture is also important. Earlier studies by other researchers showed that differences in smoking and drinking habits, exposure to various drugs and illnesses could be the result of n racial and cultural heritage.

SYNDROMEX:What is it & why is it such a concern for so many Americans?By Pat Shannan

D

r. Gerald Reaven of the Clinical Research Center at Stanford University* discovered Syndrome X in 1988. He says that nearly a quarter of all Americans suffer from Syndrome X, most middle aged and older. It is a precursor of more serious things if allowed to remain unchecked. According to a study published in Journal of the American Medical Association in 2002, people are said to suffer from Syndrome X if they meet three or more criteria: blood pressure 130/85 or higher; waist circumference greater than 40 inches in men or 35 in women; fasting blood glucose 110 mg/dl or higher; serum triglycerides 150 mg/dl or higher and HDL cholesterol levels less than 40 mg/dl for men, 50 for women. Syndrome X frequently progresses to full-blown Type II diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, hypertension, stroke, and about any cardiovascular problems you can mention. Although the syndrome has been linked to a high-fat diet and sedentary lifestyle, as well as genetic factors, it is now known that disordered insulin metabolism [insulin resistance] is a key cause of Syndrome X, according to a study published in 2001 in the Journal of Nutrition. Fifty percent of individuals with hypertension have insulin resistance.

ary beverages with filtered water. If you must have a between-meals snack, make it a hard boiled egg or an apple. Avoid margarine and all salad dressings with hydrogenated oils. Some scientists believe that eating just two or three meals daily, with no snacks in between, is the best way to normalize insulin resistance. In the condition of insulin resistance, muscle cells [which use 75% of the bodys blood sugar] become incapable of hearing insulin messages and remove sugar from the blood, while the liver is stimulated to secrete excess triglycerides and cholesterol. Dr. Reaven admitted in an interview that he does not know what actually causes insulin resistance but they seem to be closing in on it. Some time ago, in collaboration with a group in Phoenix, Ariz., we studied a group of non-diabetic Pima Indians and a group of non-diabetic people of European ancestry living in the San Francisco Bay area, he said. About half of the variability in insulin resistance, comparing these two groups, was due to either differences in maximal aerobic capacity or differences in obesity.

These two factors were approximately equally powerful. The other 50% was unaccounted for, and likely familial related. To summarize, half of the variability from person to person in terms of the degree of insulin resistance is due to their genes and about half is due to lifestyle variables. Of equal importance are the differences in degrees of obesity and degrees of fitness. We do not know the molecular genetic defect. Compared to LDL cholesterol, which is more genetically regulated, there is more potential impact of lifestyle change on insulin resistance. There are also enormous ethnic differences. Every ethnic group of non-European ancestry, when matched for variables, is more insulin resistant. The most insulin n resistant group studied is South Asian Indians. *For the full interview.
