Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine, transformed the treatment of depression.

But 50 years on we remain a long way from providing the level of care that so many people need.

“The appeal followed an infringement decision issued by the CMA in July 2021 which found that Auden Mckenzie and Actavis UK (now known as Accord-UK) increased prices for a pack of 10mg tablets from 70p in April 2008 to £72 by March 2016, resulting in what investigators described as "an illegal profit of at least £145 million from the excessive prices".”

Firms that raised the price of generic hydrocortisone tablets by over 10,000% face record fines, following a judgement by the Competition Appeal Tribunal.

PROSTATE CANCER & A NEW CB2 LIGAND
Three studies from the first few months of 2023 probe the function of CB2 in three different cancer models. While their findings are complex and not necessarily conclusive, they contribute to a growing body of knowledge about the potential efficacy of cannabinoids in cancer treatment.

A paper published in February in the International Journal of Molecular Sciencesoffers two insights for the price of one: first, another look at how the CB2 receptor functions in a cellular model of cancer; and second, new evidence that a compound called 3-3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) – present in cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and a number of leafy greens – exerts anti-cancer effects through the CB2 receptor.

By testing DIM on two different human prostate cancer cell lines, the Italy- and UK-based researchers observed that the compound activated naturally expressed CB2 receptors in both lines – and that in one, known as “PC3,” CB2 activation led to cell death, an effect that was reversed when the researchers blocked the CB2 receptor with an antagonist.

If true, cruciferous vegetables join saffron, black pepper, cloves, oregano, and some other spices as foods containing compounds that interact with the CB2 receptor in beneficial ways.

Viral infections have been known to cause or exacerbate psychological disorders before, but SARS Covid appears to increase neurological and psychiatric risks for up to 2 years in some cases after infection. Including dementia, epilepsy seizures and psychotic disorders.

Nutrimental solutions recommends a number of nutritional protocols to reduce inflammation and encourage glial cells the cleaning system of the brain, together with better sleep and becoming mindful of immune system stressors in general.

Message if you’re interested in finding out more.

This analysis of 2-year retrospective cohort studies of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 showed that the increased incidence of mood and anxiety disorders was transient, with no overall excess of these diagnoses compared with other respiratory infections. In contrast, the increased risk of psycho...

Thyroid function and Niacin or Nicotinic acid

Good news from this research just submitted by Mayo Clinic
Study showed niacin or vitamin B3 helps regulate thyroid function or a euthyroid state. Without risk of hypothyroidism.

Limitations of this study are that is a very small group used. I imagine this trial may be followed up by larger studies. If you were interested in trialling Niacin B3 personally contact Nutrimental solutions to assist you.

A niacin flush can be a little unnerving and so it’s useful to be prepared. I can talk you through all the positive effects and have been known to take Niacin alongside clients too so they don’t feel vulnerable.

Niacin is also super useful for enhancing mitochondrial function (energy), lowering cholesterol, decreasing inflammation throughout the body, clearing a vital serotonin pathway to relieve depression and lots more.

Turmeric

Curcumin has been shown to encourage muscle repair, decrease inflammation, increase serotonin and stop cancer tumours in their tracks. In most studies pure curcumin extract is used often in amounts from 1000mg, note curcumin is the active ingredient in Turmeric.
Delivering the compound to the site required is complex. Read on in this article to hear about how nano particles might solve this issue.

Clinical trials show that curcumin, present in the spice, may help fight osteoarthritis and other diseases, but there’s a catch – bioavailability, or how to get it into the blood
