Re: Calling all Iodine experts, calling all Iodine experts!


If you are speaking of sun spots, also called age spots or liver spots, that is called lipofuscin. If you have it on your skin, you have it inside your body. The following has a couple of URLs in it, but I actually copied and pasted for my own knowledge so I don't know if all the info has the correct URLs. Also, there is a school of thought that selenium deficiency contributes to these spots.

About IP-6

Chances are if you are here, you probably already know about IP-6. If you don't, or perhaps just want to know a bit more, here's some information put together by Bill Sardi, the renouned medical/health reporter, who has penned several very informative books. We'd encourage you to visit his website,
http://www.knowledgeofhealth.com
to learn more about his research.

With advancing age the human body harbors parasites, accumulates cellular debris, fats, and metallic minerals. In the later years of life accumulated iron and calcium cause tissues in the body to rust and calcify. The liver stores iron. The gall bladder and kidneys develop calcium and irons stones. Heart valves and arteries calcify and become clogged with cholesterol. The brain, retina and heart amass lipofuscin (ly-po-fusk-in) pigments. parasites such as H. pylori (bacteria), Candida albicans (yeast), hepatitis and herpes viruses thrive as the human body begins to store extra iron with advancing age.

The question is how to reverse all of these aging and disease factors. Alternative medicine practitioners often suggest detoxification, liver cleansing, or chelation therapy to remove these elements from tissues. But such efforts are often over-promoted, poorly researched, expensive or sometimes ineffective.
Simple answer

There is a simple, economical and effective way of ridding the body of all of these undesirable organisms, debris and metals with advancing age --- IP6 rice bran extract.

IP6 is inositol hexaphosphate (also called phytic acid), which is found in every cell of the human body, is one molecule of inositol and six of phosphate and is found naturally in whole grains (bran), seeds and nuts. IP6 is known as nature’s master mineral chelator (remover).

IP6 is another of the many natural molecules that both conventional and alternative health practitioners continue to overlook. Researchers from around the world indicate they are searching for metal chelating agents to prevent or treat disease but fail to employ IP6 rice bran extract which is safe and economical. Conventional medicine’s narrow use of patented drugs rather than natural remedies blinds many health practitioners from the use of natural remedies such as IP6.

IP6, extracted from rice bran, is available as a dietary supplement and natural chelator of metals from living tissues. As a dietary supplement, IP6 is documented as a cleanser of arteries, the heart, brain, kidneys, liver, gall bladder (stones), and many other tissues. Here is the evidence for your review.
IP6 cleanses heavy metals

IP6 attaches to heavy metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium, as well as loose iron, copper and calcium. [J Agriculture Food Chemistry 47: 4714-17, 999] IP6 is a selective chelator -- it does not attach to potassium, sodium or magnesium, important electrolyte minerals required for heart rhythm. IP6 does not remove calcium from bones or iron from red blood cells. Once chelated (attached), these excess minerals are excreted via the urinary tract. [Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr. 35:495-508, 1995]

IP6 cleanses the kidneys

Numerous scientific reports confirm that IP6 inhibits the formation of kidney stones and can be used to dissolve calcium stones in the kidneys once they are formed. [Scandinavian Journal Urology Nephrology 34: 162-64, 2000] IP6 is described as a “clear alternative in the treatment of calcium kidney stones.” [Anticancer Research 19:3717-22, 1999] Another study concludes that IP6 “may be a useful agent in the treatment of patients with kidney stones.” [Scand J Urology Nephrology 32:261-5, 1998]
While various studies confirm IP6’s ability to inhibit kidney stones, it goes unused by physicians. [Arch Esp Urology 52:305-10, 1999]
IP6 cleanses the heart

Researchers in Israel recently reported that methods are available to measure iron accumulation in the heart. Iron chelators such as IP6 would provide therapy for a heart weakened by excess iron. [Br J Haematology 125:545-51, 2004]
IP6 cleanses the arteries

One published report exclaimed that IP6 has an “extraordinary capacity” to inhibit calcifications throughout the body. [Anticancer Research 19:3717-22, 1999] IP6 can potentially remove calcium deposits from arteries. [International Journal Cardiology 33: 191-9, 1991] IP6 has been shown to significantly lower cholesterol in animals fed a cholesterol-enriched diet. [Anticancer Research 19:3699-702, 1999]
IP6 cleanses the liver

About a third of American adults have a condition called fatty liver. IP6 has been demonstrated to be a remedy for fatty liver. [Anticancer Research 19: 3695-98, 1999]

The liver is an organ that stores iron. Since iron is a growth factor for bacteria, fungi and virsuses, removal of iron from the liver may inhibit scarring caused by hepatitis. [Am J Gastroenterology 99: 286-91, 2004] Iron-restricted diets protect against liver damage in cases of chronic hepatitis C infection. [Hepatogastroenterology. 2002 49:529-31, 2002]
Removal of iron from the liver by periodic consumption of IP6 rice bran extract may be advantageous in liver disease.
IP6 cleanses the colon

Fiber is often promoted as a preventive measure against colon cancer. But not all types of fiber exhibit this protective property. Only the fiber found in whole grains (bran) that contains iron-binding IP6 prevents colon cancer. [Cancer 56: 717-18, 1985]

IP6 cleanses the brain

Loose iron is involved in the onset and progression of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s disease and Frederich’s ataxia. [Ann N Y Academy Sciences1012:306-25, 2004] Metal removal (chelation) is proposed as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease by its ability to dissolve beta amyloid plaques in the brain. [Journal Alzheimer’s Disease 6:291-301, 2004]

Neuromelanin is a brain pigment that control iron which may be overwhelmed with advancing age. A preliminary study using an iron chelator among Alzheimer’s patients produced some encouraging results, but concerns over the side effects of chelating drugs have limited further research. [Lancet Neurology 3: 431-34, 2004] However, IP6 has been found to be non-toxic in comparison with pharmaceutical chelators. [Environmental Molecular Mutagenesis 38:347-56, 2001]

Researchers are now poised to utilize iron chelators to prevent or treat age-related brain disease, but appear confused on how to proceed because of the terrible side effects posed by the use of prescription metal chelators.

IP6 is an overlooked chelator in the treatment of brain disease. Rats fed a diet rich in IP6 exhibit much lower iron levels in brain tissue. [J Trace Elem Med Biology15:221-8, 2001] When IP6 is added back into the diet of IP6-depleted animals, IP6 levels in brain tissues rise by 100 times. [Life Science 71:1535-46, 2002]
IP6 cleanses the gall bladder

Gallstones are composed of cholesterol, and in the later years of iron and calcium.
[Gastroenterology 76: 548-55, 1979] Children with inherited iron disorders exhibit increased risk for gallstones. [Acta Radiologica 40: 440-43, 1999] Removal of calcium and iron from the gall bladder may dissolve gall stones.
IP6 cleanses tissues of aging debris

Lipofuscin (ly-poh-fusk-in) is an aging pigment that accumulates in the brain, heart, retina and other tissues throughout the body. Oxygen and loose iron promote the accumulation of cellular debris called lipofuscin while iron chelators diminish it. [Free Radical Biology Medicine 33:611-9, 2002] IP6 as a potent mineral chelator could potentially remove lipofuscin deposits from aged tissues.
IP6 is an antibiotic
Treatment of Stargardt's disease and other lipofuscin disorders with combined retinaldehyde inhibitor and zeaxanthin
Document Type and Number:
United States Patent 20060089411
Kind Code:
A1
Link to this page:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/20060089411.html

Abstract:
Zeaxanthin, a natural carotenoid, can improve and increase the ability of enzyme inhibitors that can slow down certain enzymes that are contributing to toxic metabolite accumulation in people who suffer from Stargardt's disease or other lipofuscin disorders. Such enzyme inhibitors include retinoid analogs such as isotretinoin, commonly known by the trademark, ACCUTANE. This drug binds to and inhibits at least two retinal enzymes, known as RPE65 and short chain dehydrogenase, which create surplus metabolites that feed into a pathway that eventually creates toxic metabolites in people with Stargardt's disease. However, isotretinoin treatment alone is not highly effective; therefore, use of zeaxanthin as an adjunctive treatment can improve the efficacy and outcomes of such treatments.

Hydergine

Hydergine (ergoloid mesylates) is made from an organic source, the ergot fungus of rye plants. It was discovered by Dr. Albert Hoffman at Sandoz laboratories. As with the other nootropics, it appears to increase mental cognition, prevent damage to brain cells, improve protein synthesis, reduce accumulation of lipofuscin, increase oxygenation and increase the production of neurotransmitters. It has also been found to be a powerful antioxidant. One of it's most powerful abilities is to prevent damage to the brain from hypoxia, or too little oxygen. Therefore it has been very useful for stroke victims.

One presumed effect of Hydergine is that it appears to mimic a substance known as nerve growth factor (NGF). Thus it enhances the growth and branching of dendrites. This can be critical for creative thinking and memory.

Hydergine is available by doctor's prescription, though it can also be obtained through mail order. Known side effects with improper dosage are nausea, dizziness and headaches, but it is otherwise considered non-toxic.

Ginkgo Biloba

This is considered to be the oldest tree on earth. The leaf extract from this tree has been used for centuries to increase blood circulation to the tiny blood vessels of the brain. This results in improved memory, cognition and alertness. It is widely prescribed by doctors in Europe and Asia. Additionally it is a known antioxidant and helps the brain to create ATP.

Effects are usually noticeable after two or three weeks of continue use. There are no reported side-effects in the medical literature but some have experience stomach troubles in high doses. You can obtain this from most health food suppliers.


Piracetam

Piracetam has been used for over fifteen years as an aid in the treatment of alcoholism, dementia and stroke. Developed by UCB laboratories in Belgium, it has been found to increase the flow of information across the corpus callosum, the set of fibers that connects the right and left hemispheres. It has been shown in clinical studies to improve the integration of information processing, attention span and concentration. Piracetam has also been used to treat conditions of hypoxia, or too little oxygen. It has been particularly effective in the treatment of dyslexia, stroke, senile dementia, and in rehabilitating a brain that has been damaged chemically. It acts to step up the production of ATP and improved cerebral microcirculation (blood flow). It also appears to enhance protein synthesis. The fact that is has been shown to increase the flow of information between hemispheres is particularly important, as this alone will improve cognition, memory and all learning skills.

It has been shown to have no known side effects or toxicity of it's own but should not be used with amphetamines or other psychotropic as it will increase their effects.

Nootropics

Nootropics, from the Greek word meaning "acting on the brain", are a category of synthetic and natural supplements known to enhance brain function. They have also been called smart drugs. Many were originally discovered as a treatment for dementia, or amnesia. It is now known that anyone can benefit from the effects of these substances if taken in proper dosages. Reported effects include, short and long term memory capacity, enhanced concentration, increased alertness, energy and work performance.

One important way some nootropics can enhance cognition is by cleansing the brain of lipofuscin--a fatty material that interferes with the brain's synapses. Lipofuscin prevents synapses from releasing neurotransmitters that enable the communication of information among nerve cells. Lipofuscin is a product of the buildup of free radicals.

There are many substances on the market that promise to enhance brain functioning. Many of these can be addictive or have toxic side effects. Of those I've studied there are four substances I feel to be of benefit. These four substances are known to alleviate the symptoms associated with various forms of dyslexia, amnesia, attention deficit disorder and certain emotional disorders. Though the FDA has not approved all of them for use in the U.S., they are approved in other countries. If you want to obtain any of these four substances do a keyword search on the Internet, and there are various mail order companies marketing them. I found one product particularly intriguing and you can visit their website for more information.

DMAE Inhibits Formation of “Aging Pigment”
One of the most dramatic and well-documented effects of DMAE is its ability to inhibit the formation of aging pigment (lipofuscin)—the brownish pigment that causes “liver spots” (lentigo) on the backs of the hands of many people over 50 years of age.

Lipofuscin is believed to be formed by the inefficient metabolism of fatty acids, and its accumulation in the cells is one of the most obvious and regularly reported cytological (cellular) changes with age. Lipofuscin accumulates with age in all body tissues—especially, the heart, muscles, kidneys, nerves and brain.

Although no known adverse effects are known to result from lipofuscin accumulation, it certainly does no good, acting as “intracellular garbage.” Even if it is not harmful, lipofuscin is often cosmetically unacceptable.

DMAE not only can prevent the formation of lipofuscin, but it also actually flushes it from the body.13 Many people gauge the rate of lipofuscin removal from their hearts and brains by watching their “liver spots” disappear with long-term supplementation of DMAE. It usually takes about six months for significant changes to take place—with many spots resolving completely.
