Excessive calcium intake is fraught with the deteriorating health

Excessive calcium intake is fraught with the deteriorating health
Excess calcium is harmful to health – doctors recorded the negative trend of the spread of the diagnosis of so-called milk-alkali or calcium-alkali syndrome. Much of the reason this situation has been the widespread use of supplements of calcium and vitamin D.
Food hypercalcemia syndrome occurs when dangerously inflated levels of calcium in the blood, which can cause high blood pressure and even kidney failure. Doctors say that many people take an excessive amount of vitamin supplements of calcium, mainly as a means of preventing osteoporosis, in combination with high doses of vitamin D. As a result, health is not only not improving, but rather worse, in many cases, patients with hypercalcemia requires hospitalization.
This diagnosis is associated with high calcium consumption, rather than milk, the scientists explain the University of Pennsylvania / USA /. According to them, pregnant women, women after menopause, patients after organ transplant operations, as well as bulimia and dialysis have a high risk of disease due to various physiological reasons. Researchers are strongly advised to limit consumption of calcium dose of no more than 1,2-1,5 grams per day – in that the number of useful minerals for the body.
Nigerian tea will help in the treatment of diabetes

Nigerian tea will help in the treatment of diabetes
Tea from the leaves of trees growing in Africa and bitter orange may be remedy for patients with diabetes mellitus type II, described in the material Lexi Abutu and Christina Scott, sent from Abuja, Nigeria.
Tea from the dried leaves of the tree Rauvolfia vomiting / Rauvolfia vomitoria / – known in West Africa as “asofeyedzhe” in the language of the Yoruba tribe – and the fruit of bitter orange tree, as it turns out, is able to regulate the level of blood sugar, according to lead researcher Joan Campbell-Ayabo Toft, researcher at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.
Diabetes mellitus type 2, which usually develops in middle-aged people, may constitute a threat to life and is characterized by high blood sugar. Often affects people suffering from obesity, diabetes – are endocrine disease that occurs as a result of absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin, which is produced by the pancreas.
In the course of the study conducted in Denmark, 23 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 daily drink 750 milliliters of tea “asofeyedzhe”, while the control group drank a placebo. After four months among patients who consumed tea “asofeyedzhe”, it was observed reduction of blood sugar. The results of this study has not yet been published.
Campbell-Toft, who studied and later taught at the University of Nigeria, said that the tea, apparently affected differently than traditional methods of treatment of diabetes. Conventional drugs are meant to quickly remove excess sugar from the bloodstream, while the tea only the passage of time reduces blood sugar.
The researchers suggest that tea enhances the ability of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the muscle fibers to send sugar into the cells.
Campbell-Toft said in an interview with SciDev.Net, that she learned about this tea from his family and friends who gathered for the research of 50 kg tree leaves asofeyedzhe and 300 kg of bitter oranges in Edo State of Nigeria, where she grew up
But while Campbell-Toft optimistic about the therapeutic possibilities of tea, she warns that the development of each new drug to treat diabetes, “it will take years.”
Asofeyedzhe tree grows in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Liberia, Senegal, Sudan and Uganda. Local healers also use its leaves as a laxative and for treatment of mental disorders, leprosy and arthritis.
Long-term receiving ibuprofen and Alzheimer’s disease

Long-term receiving ibuprofen and other non-steroid drugs protects against Alzheimer’s disease
That conclusion came from researchers at Boston University in a study involving 250 thousand persons, said the journal Neurology.
Researchers under the leadership of Steven Vlad found that people who took ibuprofen for five years, more than 40% less likely to suffer senile dementia. Other NPVP have less effect – when they receive the risk of senile dementia has fallen on average by 24%, reported the scientists. Some funds from this group, in particular celexocib not have any impact on the development of dementia.
The protective effect of ibuprofen had previously been detected in animal studies, said Vlad. He noted that the admission of the drug led to a reduction of protein deposits in the brain characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. New data confirm its role in preventing disease.
In previous studies, scientists have analyzed the relationship between the reception NPVP and dementia, but data collected by different authors, have been controversial. Vlad and his colleagues suggested that the discrepancy results linked to the uneven effects of various anti funds and were able to confirm this theory through his research.
Nevertheless, experts still can not recommend that patients use ibuprofen to prevent dementia. NPVP long-term use may cause serious side effects, including breach of kidney function and the formation of gastric ulcer, doctors warn.
