FAQ
Q: Can I increase my growth hormone levels without taking shots or pills?

A: There are two forms of exercise that stimulate growth hormone release. Aerobic exercises result in persistent long-term release of growth hormone in the blood for two hours even after you stop exercising. Resistance exercise like weight training causes the spurts of growth hormone releases from the pituitary gland.

From Our Readers
Hello Dr. Lam:
I want to thank you for your web site information on Quercetin. I had e-mailed you for your advice on prostatitis. After reading your note on Quercetin last month, I bought some Quercetin and other herbs combo and took 500mg daily. I have now been taking this for about three weeks and am very happy to say I have had a dramatic improvement in my symptoms. In fact, it has gotten progressively better since then. In any event, I again want to thank you very much for your amazing web site and the very real improvement in my quality of life that your information has now given me. Thank You.
Steve S.

Quote of the Week
Sickness is the vengeance of nature for the violation of her laws. ~Charles Simmons

Our body has its own language of communicating to us. Take pain for example. Pain is a signal from the body that something is wrong. It’s one of the few ways the body knows how to communicate with us. It’s the body’s way of crying out for us to take action. Most of us ignore the pain. Instead we turn to pain medication. Taking pain medication can dull this communication channel. As a result, we may not hear the signal, overdo things, and cause more damage without even knowing it. I rather you pay attention to your body and see a doctor as needed for your ultimate benefit. Do you know that pain is often the first sign of dehydration? I want you to take pain medication only as a last resort.

That's A Good Question!
Question: Does cherry fruit extract (pill form) assist in controlling the uric acid? Also, should red meat be avoided all together or can you have it once a week? What about lean pork? I'm rather overwhelmed because it seems like the proteins are so limited.

Answer: Cherries alleviate Gout by lowering Uric Acid levels - as little as 250 grams of Cherries per day can lower Uric Acid levels. Taking some type of meat / chicken / fish, 3 oz. once a day is a general rule of thumb. The following foods are extremely high in uric acid: anchovies, chicken soup, organ meats, mutton, lamb, salmon, turkey, bacon, crab, sweetbreads, sausage, veal, beef, lobster, pheasant, trout, venison.

That's A Good Question!
Question: I have suffered with endometriosis for nearly seven years but was only diagnosed with it last October after a laparoscopy. At first I was treated with duphaston tablets and later with danazol. My gyne has now started me with injections for 3 months every 4 weeks. If these are ineffective what will the next course be?

Answer: Some have tried magnesium in high doses 1000mg-1200mg a day by oral or by injection and find it helpful. This is not a recommendation but for general information only. You may wish to consult a naturally oriented physician closer to you for more advice
