We require a brief office consultation and examination with Dr. Rahaman to review the indications and risks of Reclast treatment. The physician will also arrange or review baseline chemistry profile, GFR and vitamin D blood testing.

The FDA recommends adequate Calcium and Vit. D supplementation with Reclast to prevent hypocalcemia:
"For osteoporosis treatment, and to reduce the risk of hypocalcemia, patients must be adequately supplemented with calcium and vitamin D if dietary intake is not sufficient. Postmenopausal women require an average of 1200 mg calcium and 400 – 800 IU vitamin D daily."

We highly recommend starting AmeriSciences Osteo at this visit. Osteo is a pharmaceutical equivalent quality Calcium and Vitamin D nutritional supplement that is 95% absorbed within 45 minutes thus providing optimum bone building results when used with Reclast.

Here is a very useful article from DIVINE.CA to help reduce the risk of Beast Cancer.

Protect Your Breasts

One in nine Canadian women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Help reduce your risks by following these nine simple guidelines.

Exercise
Fat cells produce estrogen; high levels of this hormone are believed to cause breast cancer. Working out can shrink fat cells and reduce the amount of estrogen that is produced by the body.
Even if you've been inactive most of your life, you can greatly reduce your risk of developing breast cancer by becoming active now! Health Canada recommends thirty to sixty minutes of moderate physical activity at least four days a week. So go for a run, a walk, or a bike ride. Any kind of cardio will do, as long as you are consistent with the frequency and duration of your workouts.

Eat healthy Evidence shows that eating a balanced, lower-fat diet can reduce the risk of cancer. Choose lower-fat dairy products and leaner meats. Eat more whole grain products (breads and cereals); certain fibres have been shown to block estrogen’s ability to stimulate cell growth. Eat five to ten servings of fruits and vegetables—they are filled with cancer-fighting phytochemicals.

Drink green tea
Spanish and British scientists have discovered that EGCG, an antioxidant found in green tea, can prevent cancer cells from growing. The exact recommended green tea intake has yet to be determined, but it appears that a cup a day may be sufficiently beneficial.

Maintain a healthy weight
Extra pounds equal higher levels of estrogen. Combine exercise with a balanced, low-fat diet to maintain a healthy weight for your height. Calculate your body-mass index using divine.ca’s BMI calculator to help determine your ideal weight.

Quit smoking
Although the effects of cigarette smoking are not fully understood and more research is needed, Health Canada states that there may be an association between breast cancer and tobacco smoking or breathing second-hand smoke.

Breastfeed
Breastfeeding appears to offer some women protection against breast cancer, as lactation helps suppress estrogen production. If you are a new mother, consider breastfeeding your baby. For your baby’s health, Health Canada recommends exclusive breastfeeding for at least the first four months of life. For your health, 15 (cumulative) months of breast feeding in your lifetime can offer significant protection against breast cancer.

Drink less alcohol
Evidence suggests that women who drink alcohol have a higher risk of breast cancer. The more alcohol a woman drinks, the higher her risk. Keep the boozing to a minimum and limit your intake to one alcoholic drink a day.

Sleep more
Not getting enough sleep can lead to excessive estrogen production, which has been linked to breast cancer. Try getting at least eight hours of sleep a night.

Increase your folic acid and vitamin B6 intake
Folic acid and vitamin B6 are important parts of our diets: they help make and repair DNA, and damaged DNA has been linked to cancer. A research from the Harvard School of Public Health has also found that a diet high in these nutrients can protect women against the increased risk of breast cancer caused by alcohol. Since alcohol interferes with the body’s ability to use folic acid, the extra folic acid seems to be most protective in women who drink.

Eat plenty of dark green leafy vegetables, legumes and citrus fruits for folic acid, and meat, poultry, fish, potatoes, bananas and beans for vitamin B6. Of course, vitamin supplements can also supply these cancer fighting nutrients.

Antioxidant Therapy Quickly Improves Endometriosis Pain

Antioxidant Therapy Quickly Improves Endometriosis Pain

Kate Johnson

SAN ANTONIO — Two months of high-dose vitamin E and C therapy was associated with significant improvement in endometriosis pain and a reduction in inflammatory markers in a study of 59 women.

“We didn't really expect that patients would actually report anything clinically after only 2 months, but it's really impressive. They are doing much better,” said Dr. Nino Kavtaradze, an ob.gyn. resident at Emory University in Atlanta.

The study, presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, included 59 women, aged 19-41, with pelvic pain and a history of endometriosis and/or infertility.

Inflammatory markers were measured in blood, which was drawn from all women at the beginning and end of the study, and in peritoneal fluid, which was collected by laparoscopy at the end of the study.

Pain levels were evaluated at baseline and then monthly during the study.

A total of 46 patients were given vitamin E (1,200 IU daily) and vitamin C (1,000 mg daily) for 2 months before undergoing laparoscopy; the remaining 13 patients received placebo.

“We have shown previously that endometriosis is characterized by signs of increased oxidative stress,” said Dr. Nalini Santanam, Ph.D., who led the investigation into inflammatory markers. “Inflammation can be induced by oxidative stress, so our theory was that antioxidants might reduce the inflammatory markers.

Indeed, at the end of the study, the levels of inflammatory markers in peritoneal fluid of women who received the vitamins were significantly lower than the levels in the placebo group.

Levels of inflammatory markers in plasma were the same in both groups, “suggesting that these markers are locally generated in the peritoneal cavity,” commented Dr. Santanam of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Emory.

In the vitamin group, 43% of the women reported an improvement in everyday pain, compared with none of the women in the placebo group. Thirty-seven percent of the vitamin group had decreased dysmenorrhea, compared with 36% of the placebo group, and 24% of the vitamin group had decreased dyspareunia compared with none of the placebo group.

“This is an exciting finding that such a simple and safe therapy might have such dramatic effects on endometriosis,” Dr. Santanam said.

I recommend AmeriSciences Women's Master Multi and AmeriSciences Antioxidant Plus.
