Supplements
Cachexia/Underweight
through Fibromyalgia
Cachexia/Underweight
*Whey Protein Isolate Pure (P)(2 Lbs) $49 - In larger quantities (small amounts suppress appetite) protein powders help to maintain muscle mass and provide a large source of calories. The amino acid leucine in these powders appears to be one of the most important stimulators of muscle protein synthesis (muscle building) and maintenance. Cautions / Interactions: Whey Protein Isolate may affect the absorption of some antibiotics and other medications. If you are taking any medications or if you have allergies to dairy products, consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use.
*L-Leucine Powder (NW)(9 oz) $47.99 - Studies suggest that L-Leucine, in conjunction with adequate dietary protein, may help to build and maintain lean tissue and optimize body composition. Cautions: If you are pregnant/lactating, consult your healthcare practitioner before using this product.
[Resistance Exercises & healthy fats are a must
(nuts, avocado & oils like olive, coconut, flaxseed & fish)].
See Dr. Galluzzo about setting up a Resistance Exercise Program

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
*Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) 250mg (P)(90 vcaps) $30
OR *Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) Plus 600mg (P)(60 vcaps) $36 - ALA has a long history of reducing nerve injury in people with diabetes and possibly even some cancer patients. This has spurred new research on ALA as a neuroprotectant.
Cautions / Interactions: Blood hormone levels and thyroid function tests should be monitored closely in people taking thyroid hormones who are also taking alpha-lipoic acid. Also, because it may affect insulin sensitivity, blood glucose levels should be monitored closely when alpha-lipoic acid supplementation is added to diabetes treatment regimens. In addition, alpha-lipoic acid supplementation may increase the requirement for biotin in humans. ALA may affect the body‘s metabolism of certain medications, including Cisplatin and Cyclophosphamide.
(I have seen Chiropractic adjustments help many patients with this syndrome)
Celiac Disease
*Flora-Norm (PB)(90 caps) $33 (Bifidobacterium infantis)- Celiac disease is an intolerance to gluten (a protein found primarily in wheat, barley, rye and potentially oats) and studies show that probiotics like Flora-Norm (containing Bifidobacterium infantis) may reduce gluten toxicity. Note: Do not take probiotic supplements if you have a weakened immume system or are pregnant or nursing.

Cautions / Interactions: Some studies suggest that CLA supplementation may have idiosyncratic effects on blood sugar levels. Diabetics using this product should closelymonitor serum glucose levels. Note: CLA away contains L-Carnitine. Some anticonvulsivants, some anti-cancer drugs, some anti-HIV drugs, pivalic acid and isotretinoin may increase the need for Carnitine. Theoretically, Carnitine might increase the anticoagulant effects of some oral anticoagulants and decrease the effectiveness of thyroid hormone replacement.

*Ultimate Fiber (PB)(120 cvaps) $27 (both soluble & insoluble)- (Soluble Fiber)- Soluble fibers attract water and form a gel, which slows digestion. Soluble fiber delays the emptying of your stomach and makes you feel full, which helps control weight. Slower stomach emptying may reduce blood sugar spikes, lower blood sugar levels and have a beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity, which may help control diabetes. Soluble fiber can also help lower LDL ("bad") blood cholesterol by interfering with the absorption of dietary cholesterol. Note: Getting 20-30 Gms of fiber (10-15 Gms of soluble and 10-15 Gms of insoluble) per day from diet and supplements (recommending not more than half from supplements) could improve both heart and colon health. (Insoluble Fiber) -Insoluble fibers are considered gut-healthy fiber because they have a laxative effect and add bulk to the diet, helping prevent constipation. These fibers do not dissolve in water, so they pass through the GI tract relatively intact, and speed up the passage of food and waste trough your gut. This gut cleaning process is one of the mechanism that reduces the risk of colon polyps and colon cancer. Cautions: If you are pregnant/lactating, consult your healthcare practitioner before using this product.
