Reply #2: No... it's not like that... she has a perty good doc, but when it comes to [View All]

her glaucoma, her diabetes, her arthritis, her blocked carotid arteries and such, if something didn't come from his mouth, then it cannot be real. Even now, when her dopplers are reading better, (less blockage, she has been taking a GOOD multi for about 3 years now, digestive enzymes and extra vitamin C) and that is good, but there is so much more she could do to avoid "feeling old".

Oh, she's on Paxil of all things.... good christ give me the strength to withstand traditional medicine's monetary approach all things health related. Dumbasses.

She won't swallow a pill, unless of course her doc says she has to. PS supplements are small, egg shaped sort of like vitamin E, and here is a sample of what they do to IMPROVE HEALTH AND BODILY FUNCTION. Lecithin is another substance that dwindles with age, in fact few if any get enough lecithin in the diet... I take a tablespoon daily, to promote gall bladder wellness, liver function, and on and on. I pretty certain that phosphatidylserine is in lecithin... at least I hope it is...

Mood and stress

With regards to mood and stress, studies have also shown favorable results with phosphatidylserine supplementation. For example, studies in both men and women, old and young, have found that phosphatidylserine can alleviate depressive and stress-induced symptoms. Researchers at the University of Milan conducted a small study of 10 elderly women with depression, aged 70 to 81 years, treated with phosphatidylserine (300 milligrams per day) for 30 days, following a 15-day course of placebo. Results showed that phosphatidylserine increased brain turnover of noradrenaline, dopamine, acetylcholine and glucose reserves. Using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) and clinical observation, the researchers also found that, compared with pre-treatment baseline scores and controls, treatment with phosphatidylserine caused anxiety levels to decrease significantly and interests and socialization to increase, while long-term memory and learning also improved.<12>

In another study conducted at the University of Naples, Italy, researchers showed that high-doses of phosphatidylserine administered over a short period of time could elicit neuroendocrine responses to physical stress in men that suggest a positive effect on mood. The experimentation consisted of nine young, healthy men taking phosphatidylserine (at 800 milligrams per day) for 10 days. Results from blood samples revealed that phosphatidylserine significantly blunted the responses of stress hormones, such as adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol, to physical exercise without affecting the rise in plasma growth hormone and prolactin. The authors concluded that "chronic oral administration of phosphatidylserine may counteract stress-induced activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis in man." Otherwise known as the HPAA, this working trio of hypothalamus, pituitary gland and adrenal glands is what's responsible for how we respond to various kinds of stress, be it emotional, mental or physical in nature. With advancing age, however, the HPAA suffers decline and dysfunction, which can affect mood.<13>
