It is well-established from prior studies that metformin in diabetics with chronic kidney disease can have life-threatening lactic acidosis, but that is assumed to be the result of an extreme build-up of metformin in the kidney as a result of the kidney disease preventing excretion of the drug. Is that a kind of misleading assumption, almost a red herring, that is actually a warning pointing to nephrotoxic potential of metformin with low-level exposure, as well as having a body-wide metabolic threat at higher concentrations?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Healing Modalities108 views0 answers0 votesDoes the drug Metformin possess any direct antiviral activity beyond moderating the adverse effects of the immune system attempting to contain chronic viruses?ClosedNicola asked 6 months ago • Healing Modalities119 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Can Creator comment on the many healings humans experience on a high fat, high protein, low carb animal meat diet as opposed to the vegan diet or food pyramid worldwide?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Healing Modalities134 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Creator has suggested there may be grounds for taking a wide spectrum multivitamin and mineral in addition to antivirals. One business source in the UK makes claims regarding vitamin D, B9, and B12. They say 57% of UK adults have below-optimal levels of vitamin D; 20% of those aged 60 and above have a vitamin B12 deficiency; 23% of women aged 19-64 have iron intakes below recommended levels. They also claim calcium and magnesium may be generally deficient. To what extent are these statistics accurate and would it be wise to take a wide-spectrum supplement?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Healing Modalities133 views0 answers0 votesHe asks about what would be a good broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement: “Would Food-Grown® Daily Multi Nutrient, Centrum Advance, Multi Guard, or similar, be safe and beneficial for men and women over 50?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Healing Modalities174 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Effectiveness of Creator’s recommended supplements will vary among individuals due to individual biochemistry, hormonal baseline, diet, exercise habits, stress levels, age and life stage, etc. Also, some supplements may require consistent, long-term use before noticeable effects are achieved. Given this variability, how important is it to get a nutritional assessment done as a way to optimize benefits? Would this likely lead to good advice? What steps should people take to optimize benefits? Are some best absorbed with food? Are some better for younger or older people?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Healing Modalities145 views0 answers0 votesIf cost is not a factor, can Creator’s Antiviral Regimen be taken twice a day? Would that be safe, and would it increase effectiveness and/or speed of getting noticeable symptom resolution?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Healing Modalities126 views0 answers0 votesHow safe is Creator’s Antiviral Regimen for use by children, if they have a condition caused by a chronic virus? I am assuming there is less urgency in the young in the absence of symptoms, because most consequences of chronic viruses are seen during adult years. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Healing Modalities140 views0 answers0 votesWill we need lifelong prophylactic use of Creator’s Antiviral Regimen even after the interlopers leave, given that so many people are carriers of harmful viruses or have a chronic virus caused illness?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Healing Modalities138 views0 answers0 votesWill it be a common outcome to get something less than total viral eradication down to the last viral particle? In other words, will it be advisable to take Creator’s Antiviral Regimen as a prophylactic measure life-long even if the interlopers are no longer actively spreading new viruses?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Healing Modalities133 views0 answers0 votesIs the Advanced Vision Formula promoted by Advanced Bionutritionals equal or superior to the Vision Essentials Ultra supplement, and if so, why?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Healing Modalities181 views0 answers0 votesWhitaker Nutrition is promoting a supplement they call Vision Essentials Ultra, which has lutein 40mg, zeaxanthin 6 mg, and meso-zeaxanthin 2 mg, in addition to vitamins A and C, zinc, copper, bilberry extract, saffron extract, and glutathione. How does this supplement compare in benefits for eye health to the supplement OcuXanthin, which has hyaluronic acid 50 mg, lutein 10 mg, astaxanthin 6 mg, and zeaxanthin 2 mg?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Healing Modalities152 views0 answers0 votesWould these two supplements, Vision Essentials Ultra and OcuXanthin, taken together be of significant extra benefit overall compared to either one alone? What is most important for us to know?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Healing Modalities118 views0 answers0 votesThere is research suggesting that astaxanthin promotes accumulation of zeaxanthin in the retina. Is that at least one reason that inclusion of astaxanthin would be beneficial? What else is important for us to know?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Healing Modalities116 views0 answers0 votesAccording to research findings, different zones within the macula have lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin, exclusively, suggesting unique roles. It is unclear whether dietary uptake of meso-zeaxanthin or its conversion from zeaxanthin within the eye is its natural source. How important is taking meso-zeaxanthin along with zeaxanthin as a supplement for eye health?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Healing Modalities111 views0 answers0 votes
