Crystals of uric acid in plarized light. Uric acid is not a harlmless, inert metabolite. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia–elevations below the threshold to cause gout or kidney stones–is common and leads to other cardiometabolic risk factors. (Image: Lucia Dovalova/Wikimedia Commons)
Conventional medical
wisdom holds that uric acid is a harmless, inert form of metabolic waste, and
most physicians were trained to see it as a “trivial, incidental byproduct of
our normal biology.” But contemporary research reveals that this compound is
“anything but meaningless or unworthy of our attention,” says neurologist David
Perlmutter, MD.
Though UA testing is routinely included in routine blood work, most people—unless they have gout or kidney stones– haven’t heard of it, and few can recite their UA levels the way they do with their lipid profiles.
If you’ve seen the classic 1967 film, The Graduate, you’ll surely remember the infamous graduation party scene when family friend Mr. McGuire offers bewildered young Ben Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) a bit of advice: “I just want to say one word to you…..just one word,” says McGuire. “Are you listening? Plastics! There’s a great future in […]
Probiotics could be an important piece of the therapeutic puzzle for people with hepatic cirrhosis and other forms of progressive liver disease. Research from around the world is shedding light on the so-called “gut-liver axis” and the ways in which the gut microbiome affects liver function, both negatively and positively. This work opens up promising […]
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) has improved
the lives of millions of perimenopausal and menopausal women.
But let’s face it: fulfilling BHRT prescriptions at
compounding pharmacies is a hassle for patients and practitioners alike. It is
also a lost revenue stream for practitioners.
There has never been a comprehensive non-prescription hormone
balancing system that delivers the effects these women need—until now.
Quicksilver Scientific recently launched two new supplement
products to address BHRT for women.
Balanced, effective female BHRT addresses 5 major hormones: DHEA,
Estrogen, Testosterone, Progesterone, and Pregnenolone. Quicksilver’s two
patent-pending formulations– DHEA+ Female Hormone Tonic, and Progesterone+
Replenishing Topical Serum—can support all of them.
In this FREE webinar, join Dr. Chris Shade, Quicksilver’s founder and CEO, for an intensive look at these unique formulas and their clinical applications for the care of women in the perimenopausal and menopausal years.
The benefits of nanoformulated DHEA in combination with Pregnenolone, chrysin, Diindolylmethane (DIM), and the adaptogenic herbs dang gui, ginseng and maca.
How nanoemulsion delivery formats enhance DHEA’s potency and ability to rapidly transform into testosterone and estrogen.
The importance of including pregnenolone, a precursor to all downstream steroid hormones, for adrenal and sex hormone support.
How chrysin, DIM, and adaptogenic herbs affect hormone metabolism and the HPA axis.
How nanoformulated topical Progesterone balances DHEA and many other little-known aspects of health.
