SAM-E
(S-adenosyl-Lmethionine)

SAM-e has been prescribed successfully in 14 countries for over two decades, as stated in "Newsweek", article written by Geoffrey Cowley and Ms.Underwood. The authors report that SAM-e is prescribed in Italy mainly as an antidepressant. In Germany it is preferred treatment for arthritis.  And in Russia and China is prescribed for cirrhosis of the liver.

Richard Brown, M. D. Teodoro Bottiglieri, Ph.D., and Carol Colman author of Stop Depression Now, states that Sam-e is "one of the best antidepressant to date", as well as an "excellent" approach to dealing with arthritis and liver disorders.  ( Stop Depression Now, by Richard Brown, M. D. Teodoro Bottiglieri, Ph.D.,and Carol Colman).

Newsweek, July 5,1999.

But, what is SAM-e?
S-adenosyl-Lmethionine is a compound produced by your body that is of direct importance to the functioning of at least forty major biochemical
pathways and indirect to many more. It is formed  when the body combines the essential amino acid methionine, which can only be obtained form food sources or supplements, along with ATP- the body's primary energy source.  Sam-e sometimes called "active methionine."  
Sam-e is hard to obtain in foods, it is highly unstable in the molecule form. If meats are stored, processed, or cooked most Sam-e compounds break down (Clouatre, Dallas, Ph.D., All About Sam-e 10-15).

ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF SAM-E?

SAM-e is remarkably safe as stated by Dr. Clouatre.  The only minor
side-effect in about 5 % of the takers are nausea and mild gastrointestinal
disturbances,  These minor side effects occurred in a dosage range of
1,200 to 1,600 mg per day. 

HOW MUCH SHOULD I TAKE?

A good maintenance dosage is 200mcg.  Under a doctor's care and in
clinical trials, as much as 1,600 mg where given in four equal dosages.
The lowest effective oral dose for depression was 400 mcg. For conditions of osteoarthritis, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, and liver disorders as much as 1200 mcg, divided up was given daily.
YOU SHOULD SEEK A DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE ABOVE DISORDERS!

ANY DRUG INTERACTIONS?
SAM-e  may speed up the clearance of some drugs, because of it's ability to improve liver function. 

WARNING!
People with manic depression (bi-polar disorder) SHOULD NOT TAKE SAM-E, UNLESS UNDER DIRECT SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICIAN. SAM-e  may worsen manic depression.

Co Q10 Gels

At the 2002 annual meeting of the American Neurological Association
(New York City, October 13-16) and simultaneously published in the journal Annals of Neurology, Dr. Clifford Shultz and colleagues a the University of California, San Diego, showed that oral coenzyme Q10 helped slow the progression of Parkinson's disease.

Not all CoQ10 is equal!
The "TRANS" form was used in the Parkinson disease study. The "CIS" form, the most available is not 100% pure and sometimes difficult to absorb, but cheaper.

This study randomly assigned 80 people, who had not be treated to either a placebo or CoQ10 at dosages of 300 mg, 600 mg, and even as high as 1200 mg (please be under a doctor's care when taking dosages, higher than your body weight). This was a 16 month study, all dosages were well tolerated. Their findings resulted in 44 percent less mental and physical decline than the placebo group.

The Price for a Brain

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope." "Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves." The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. 

After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain." The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more?" 

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used." 

Three Sisters

Three sisters ages 92, 94, and 96 live in a house together. One night, the 96 year-old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells down the stairs, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?" 

The 94 year-old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses. Then she yells, "Was I going up the stairs or down?" 

The 92 year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea, listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful." She knocks on wood for good measure. 

She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door." 

The Endless Mind!

I decide to wash the car. 

I start toward the garage and notice the mail on the table. 

Ok, I'm going to wash the car, but first I'm going to go through the mail. 

I lay the car keys down on the desk, discard the junk mail and I notice the trash can is full. 

Ok, I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the trashcan out, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway, I'll pay these few bills first. 

Now, where is my checkbook? 

Oops, there's only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk. 

Oh, there's the coke I was drinking. 

I'm going to look for those checks. 

But first I need to put my coke further away from the computer, or maybe I'll pop it into the fridge to keep it cold for a while. 

I head towards the kitchen and the vase of flowers catch my eye, they need some water. 

I set the coke on the counter and uh oh! There are my glasses. I was looking for them all morning! 

I'd better put them away first. 

I fill a container with water and head for the flower pots Aaaaaagh! Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen. 

We will never think to look in the kitchen tonight when we want to watch television so I'd better put it back in the family room where it belongs. 

I splash some water into the vase and onto the floor, I throw the remote onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I head back down the hall trying to figure out what it was I was going to do? 

End of Day: 

The car isn't washed, 
the bills are unpaid, 
the coke is sitting on the kitchen counter, 
the flowers are half watered, 
the checkbook still only has one check in it 
and I can't seem to find my car keys! 


When I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!! I realize this is a serious condition and I'll get help, BUT FIRST I think I'll check my e-mail...
