Patient with persistent pain wants explanation
by Andrew Sagayam, Malay Mail

A HOUSEWIFE plans legal action if a hospital cannot explain why she continues to suffer severe pains following a bone operation last year.

Talagawadi Ramasamy, 47, said she underwent four operations since December 2010 at Pantai Hospital, Taman Cheras, which cost her more than RM30,000.

She said as the pain persists, she was forced to go to Kuala Lumpur Hospital where after undergoing two more surgeries, the injury had not healed.

"I used all up my savings and sold all my jewellery to pay for my surgeries and what has it done for me? I only suffer constant pain day and night.

During my first operation, they installed a metal brace and 14 screws into my left leg.

"After that I was told to come back to the hospital for three more operations as doctors told me the fracture did not heal after the operation. How can this be?" Talagawadi told reporters at her Balai Raya Flat in Pandan Perdana, here yesterday, accompanied by Selangor Gerakan Youth chief and Dun Teratai Complaints Bureau head Ben Liew Pok Boon...

Zinc Gluconate vs Zinc Picolinate: What's the Difference?

By
Image
Zinc picolinate and zinc gluconate are forms of dietary supplements that we use to prevent zinc deficiency.  Zinc  is an essential mineral that our body can easily absorb. Therefore, if we do not get enough amount of zinc, we may have to take these dietary supplements as directed by the doctor. When choosing a zinc supplement, it’s important to consider the type of zinc, dosage, and supplement form. Types of Zinc Supplements   There are several types of zinc supplements. Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc gluconate, zinc citrate and zinc picolinate. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form.  Chelated zinc is a general form of supplementary zinc in which the zinc is chelated — or bound — to a compound to make it easier for the body to absorb. Zinc picolinate or zinc gluconate are formed when zinc is chelated to picolinic acid or gluconic acid, so the main dif

Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack Vitamin Cocktail: Review 2024

By
Image
The  Zelenko COVID-19 Protocols  was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. The protocol has as its centerpiece, but not exclusive piece, the combined use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Zinc as a means by which a person can both help to prevent or mitigate the contraction of  COVID-19 , or can actually treat the disease once it has been diagnosed.  A  retrospective study  analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. The treatment consisting of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin, is also referred to as "The Zelenko Protocol." Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporate new evidence. He has since evolved his protocols to include a quercetin, zinc, vitamin D and C protocol for low-risk patients as w

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide (2023 Review)

By
Image
As of November 2023, there are more than 3,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to explain

10 Best NMN Supplements (2024 Review)

By
Image
NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. The global Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) market was valued at US$ 98.5 million in 2019 and it is expected to reach US$ 296.5 million ( R ) by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.3% during 2021-2026. The NAD story took off toward the end of 2013 with a  high-profile paper  by Harvard's David Sinclair and colleagues. Sinclair, recall, achieved fame in the mid-2000s for research on yeast and mice that suggested the red wine ingredient resvera

Phytonutrients, Polyphenols and Flavonoids 101: What You Need to Know (2024)

By
Image
Besides nutrients, plant-based foods (legumes, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and teas as well as herbs and spices) have another “crop” of naturally occurring compounds with potential health benefits. Collectively they’re called phytonutrients, meaning plant chemicals. “Phyto” means plant. Think fight for “phytos,” since they appear to promote health by sparking body processes that fight, or slow, the development of some diseases. Phytonutrients comprise many different chemicals, including carotenoids, indoles, glucosinolates, organosulfur compounds, phytosterols, polyphenols, and saponins.  Why have phytonutrients captured our attention? Because of their potential for health promotion! Today consumers are more interested in positive nutrition and self-care: adding (not avoiding) foods that may enhance fitness, boost immunity, slow aging, and prevent or slow the chance for chronic disease. Sound like you? Research on phytonutrients is the new frontier in nutrition, as e
