Homocysteine is the Secret Assasin

Some search terms matched

Homocysteine is nasty — but here’s the truth no one tells you. It doesn’t kill you directly — it triggers white blood cells to release IL-8 and MCP-1, causing inflammation, kidney failure, heart attacks, and strokes. Most doctors don’t even check it anymore, thinking there’s no fix. But there is. Whether from 17 genetic SNPs or 12 vitamin deficiencies (like B6 or B12), you can address it by supporting your body’s ability to convert homocysteine into glutathione.

Some search terms matched

I recently attended an education conference on testosterone pellets and their surgical placement since we occasionally use them with certain patients. This conference was interesting because vendors were selling pellets from various pharmacies and to them everyone needed pellets . After a while I just started to chuckle and tell my partner, Dr. Kimball Crofts, that when you’re selling hammers, everything’s a nail. The How to cross a river test I once took a te
