Chelation treatments reduced cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks, and death in patients with diabetes but not in those who did not have diabetes, according to analyses of data from the National Institutes of Health-funded Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT). However, researchers say more studies are needed before it’s known whether this promising finding leads to a treatment option.
Can Brown Fat Help You Lose Weight?
January 5, 2014 - 6:57pm — ShannonPetteruti
There are two basic types of fat found in most mammals; brown and white.
White fat is most prevalent in humans and it's primary function is energy storage and insulation. White fat does not burn calories, it stores them.
Brown fat is widely prevalent in most mammals. This fat burns energy at a high rate and is critical in generating heat to keep animals warm during times of extreme cold. The amount of brown fat in a mammals body will increase as the exposure to cold increases.

January 4, 2014 - 5:28pm — ShannonPetteruti

Unlike mass-produced pharmaceutical drugs, compounded medications are individually crafted specifically to your needs. As such, the quality, purity and effectiveness of these products is dependent upon the quality of ingredients used and the skill with which they are blended. In this regard not all pharmacies are created equally.

Walk down the isle of any pharmacy and you cannot help but notice the various claims on the labels of vitamins and supplements. Fat burning! Weight reduction! All of these claims are very appealing. How nice if success could come in a bottle. Especially a cheap bottle. You glance at them at first, doubting whether or not they will really work. But then it begins to eat at you. Suppose it helps? Maybe it will! It doesn't cost much to try.
