I have found serrapeptase to be an extraordinary substance for safely removing fibrous

blockages from coronary arteries, particularly the carotid arteries found in the neck, which
supply blood brain. For our health purposes, Serrapeptase dissolves only dead tissues such as the
old fibrous layers that clog the lining of our artieries and dangerously restrict flow of blood and ox-
ygen to the brain. Because of this, Serrapeptase is extremely useful in keeping arterial deposits from
building up again after angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery has been performed.

 Hormones and
Menopause

W
omen, unlike men, experience fluc-
tuating levels of hormones nearly all
through their lives, most especially
during their reproductive years. From the onset
of puberty until the completion of menopause
and even beyond, most women experience peri-
odic hormonal changes that impact their physi-
cal, mental and emotional wellbeing.

From around puberty right until the start of menopause, the female body will maintain high levels of
female hormones. However, from menopause, hormone levels will start to fall, bringing with it the
classical symptoms associated with Menopause hot flushes, mood changes, insomnia, vaginal and
urinary symptoms. The extent to which a woman experiences discomfort during menopause will depend on
how well her body adapts to the changes that occur during menopause, changes that depend on
environmental and lifestyle factors.
Estrogen and Progesterone
The most influential female hormones are estrogen and progesterone. Other important hormones are
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone (LH) and Testosterone.
Estrogen is mainly responsible for maturing the female body. The ovaries mostly produce estrogens, but
after menopause, the adrenal glands, and fat cells take over production. There are three main types of
natural estrogen estrone, estradiol, and estriol. There are also, many other types of synthetic estrogen
used in contraceptive pills and HRT (hormone replacement therapy).
Estrogen is responsible for maintaining the menstrual cycle, and maintaining the lining of the uterus and
vagina. Many women during menopause experience thinning of the vaginal wall which can lead to urinary
tract infections, vaginal dryness and itching and painful intercourse. As estrogen is essential for
maintaining the strength of the uterus, postmenopausal women have an increased risk of developing
uterine prolapse (collapse of the uterus into the vagina).
Estrogen is instrumental in bone formation together with the minerals MSM (Methyl Sulphonyl
Methane), Silica, Calcium, and Vitamin C. After menopause women lose the protection of estrogen, and
become more prone to joint and bone diseases. Estrogen regulates blood clotting, and abnormal levels of
estrogen increase the risk of blood clots, strokes, and heart failure.
Estrogen directly affects thyroid hormone levels by encouraging the production of a protein which binds to
the thyroid hormones to control blood levels. Many women will experience low thyroid hormone levels and
thyroid hormone imbalances during menopause.
Progesterone is important for maintaining pregnancy. The placenta produces progesterone during
pregnancy, but outside pregnancy it is produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Cholesterol is the raw
material required to produce progesterone.
Cholesterol is first converted into an intermediate compound called Pregnenolone which is then con-
verted into Progesterone as well as estrogen and testosterone. When cholesterol levels are low, the body
struggles to maintain adequate hormone levels required to maintain health and prevent disease.
In addition to preparing the body for conception and pregnancy, progesterone also offers women
protection from diseases of the breast and uterus, including endometrial cancer. Progesterone also plays a
role in reducing anxiety, supporting sleep,

maintaining sex drive and keeping weight in check.
How Hormones work
Hormones are chemicals that carry instructions or
messages from one part of the body to
another. When a hormone arrives at its destination,
it must gain access to the organ or cell before it can
deliver its message, and hormones do this through
a lock and key mechanism. The hormones plug
into locks on the cells called receptors before their
instructions can be transmitted. These instructions
will then activate chemical processes that bring
about the desired effect.
Estrogen attaches to receptors in the breast,
uterus, bones, brain, and lungs to protect these
organs from diseases. Unfortunately, some foreign
chemicals that have a similar structure to estrogen
can also attach to estrogen receptors and prevent
natural estrogens from performing their protective
role. These foreign chemicals are called
xenoestrogens (Xeno in Latin means foreign).
Xenoestrogens send false signals to the brain to
produce more estrogens. And high levels of
estrogen in the body is the main cause of Cancers of
the Breast and Uterus and many other
hormone-related diseases. High estrogen is also a
cause of abnormal levels of thyroid, adrenal and
sleep hormones.
High Levels of Estrogen in the body is a Problem
Most hormonal diseases in women are linked to
high levels of estrogen in the body, a phenomenon
that is also known as Estrogen Dominance. High
estrogen is associated with many hormonal
diseases seen today including breast and uterine
cancer, fibrocystic breast cancer, urinary and
vaginal diseases. Many studies point to the
environment as a major contributor to the estrogen
dominance seen today.
Many synthetic chemicals that are now part of
everyday living contain xenoestrogens foreign
estrogens that mimic the real thing. These foreign
chemicals also mimic other hormones: testosterone
and progesterone. The term hormone disruptors
is also used to describe such chemicals.
Many personal care products such as shower gels,
hair sprays, shampoos, creams, nail varnish, and
polish, etc., contain xenoestrogens and other hor-
mone disruptors. These chemicals such as parabens
and benzophenone are added to cosmetics as pre-
servatives and foaming agents. Cleaning products
usually contain the antibacterial agent triclosan,
also a known xenoestrogen.
Packaged products have an interior plastic lining
made from a plastic called BPA (Bisphenol A), a
confirmed xenoestrogen and hormone disruptor
and known to leak into food and drinks. Phthalates
are xenoestrogens and are used to soften plastic.
Insecticides and food preservatives contain the
xenoestrogen BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole).
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl) used in lubricants,
adhesives, paints sealants are well-known xenoes-
trogens.
Over many years these chemicals have slowly
washed into streams, rivers, and oceans, and now
cause hormonal disruptions in other animals.
Contraceptive pills have also contributed to the
problem of estrogen dominance. Research confirms
that hormonal disorders increased sharply with the
introduction of the pill and HRT (Hormone Re-
placement Therapy) both of which usually contain
synthetic estrogen. Although synthetic estrogen
will offer protection against pregnancy as well as
offer other benefits, they mostly cause hormonal
imbalances that eventually lead to many diseases.
The effects of cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins
A major contributor to hormonal problems today is
cholesterol lowering medications. Sadly, many
people have come to believe the disinformation
from pharmaceutical industries that cholesterol is
the cause of heart disease. The reality is that cho-
lesterol is the most useful nutrient in the body. The
idea that there is good or bad cholesterol is false.
There is only one cholesterol, and the so called good
or bad cholesterol are transporters of cholesterol.
The cause of heart disease and strokes is not high
www.medb.es5
cholesterol but inflammation usually caused by
toxins. Cholesterol-lowering drugs cause many
deadly side effects that affect women more than
men. All hormones are produced from cholesterol,
and since women have fluctuating hormone levels
nearly all through their lives, they are more sen-
sitive to any factor that tampers with hormone
production in the body.
Analysis from MedB shows that the majority of
women on cholesterol-lowering drugs have a
dysfunctional hormonal system. Safer alternatives
for reducing cholesterol such as the natural
compounds policosanol and nicotinamide will alter
the levels of cholesterol without reducing its
production.
How You Can Help Your Body
Your diet is essential for maintaining healthy
hormonal balance during menopause. Fat cells and
the adrenal gland take over the production of
estrogens from the ovaries during menopause.
Weight gain or obesity will cause increased
production of estrogens from the fat cells.
A major cause of weight gain and obesity today is
the consumption of food produced from wheat such
as Bread, Cakes, Biscuits, Pastries, and Pasta.
Eliminating these foods from the diet is guaranteed
to promote weight loss. Eating as natural as
possible will help maintain a healthy weight.
Avoid foods grown with pesticides and fungicides
and eat organic foods from a verified source when-
ever you can. Peel the skin of fruits and vegetables.
Apples and Celery contain extremely high levels
of toxic insecticides and should be avoided unless
from an organic source. Meat and Fish also contain
a variety of chemicals, and organic meat is prefera-
ble.
Drinking enough clean water is equally as impor-
tant as eating the right food. Water is essential for
many processes in the body, especially for flushing
toxins such as xenoestrogens from the body.
Environmental toxins are the biggest cause of
hormonal imbalance today. Taking steps to avoid
exposure is essential for women. Plastics contain
many substances recognized as xenoestrogens, and
should be replaced with glass and metal containers.
Microwaves are deadly, not only because of the
radiation they emit but because they turn
nutrients into cancer-causing and
hormone-disrupting compounds. If you must use
microwaves, never microwave food in plastic as the
plastic leaches into the food. Do not store water or
food in plastic containers, and avoid exposing
plastics to sunlight. Use chemical free and
biodegradable cleaning and washing agents when
possible. Natural cosmetics are preferable to the
usual synthetic cosmetic.
The Benefits of Bioidentical hormones
In the last few decades, studies have confirmed
that some plants produce hormones called phyto-
hormones (plant based hormones) that have the
same structure as hormones found in the body and
produce the same benefits.
These hormones are preferable to the synthetic
hormones used in HRT ( Hormone replacement
therapy) because they confer all the benefits associ-
ated with estrogen, unlike synthetic estrogens and
progesterone that offer a few benefits and cause
many side effects.
Bioidentical hormones are sold as extracts derived
from natural foods such as soy and wild yam. The
common extracts are genistein, isoflavones, and
daidzein. Eating soy-based foods is known to im-
prove some symptoms associated with menopause.
However Soy foods available in Shops, including soy
milk, is highly processed and contains many toxic
chemical compounds that negate the benefits of
soy, unlike soy available from Japan where soy has
been traditionally eaten for centuries and under-
goes proper fermentation to remove toxins.
Theres evidence that some herbs such as black
cohosh and cactus Agnus help improve menopausal
symptoms.

Wheat Damages the brain and nerves
Wheat is the most toxic food eaten today. But this has not
always been the case. Before the mid-1970s wheat was a
fairly tolerable food until it was genetically modified, and
the levels of its natural toxins increased exponentially.
Many people believe the problem with wheat to be gluten.
However, there are other toxins in wheat that are even
deadlier than gluten. Wheat contains a neurotoxin, a
nerve-damaging chemical called Wheat Germ Agglutinin
(WGA). This toxin attaches to the protective covering of the nerves, destroying them and causing many
diseases of the nerves as well as worsening symptoms of already existing diseases of the nervous system
such as Alzheimers diseases, Multiple Sclerosis and
Schizophrenia.
In the 1960s, researchers found that those with schizophrenia had worsened symptoms on a wheat based
diet. Wheat has also been linked to Depression, Addictions, and Mania. The toxins in wheat affect the
same receptors in the brain as those of opioid drugs such as heroin, and will cause the same level of
addiction not to drugs but wheat.
Wheat is also one of the most chemically treated crops in the world, and the most common herbicide used
in wheat production called Roundup contains a chemical called glyphosate which is known to destroy
the gut bacteria, paving the way for many chronic diseases including nerve diseases. Alternative to Wheat
based foods include other grains such as rye or oats or porridge. Most people are safe with these. But some
people will find that they have to cut out from their diet all grains to remain healthy.

Relieve Joint and Muscle Aches and Pain with MSM

MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is the most vital nutrient required by the body to build
and maintain strong and healthy joints and bones. MSM occurs naturally in the body,
and is used to make collagen- an important component of our bones, joints, skin and
hair. More so than calcium your body needs MSM to build bones, joints, skin and hair.
For this reason MSM has been called the beauty mineral

MSM is a powerful painkiller and anti-inflammatory agent and studies have shown that
MSM is more effective than prescription medications for treating Rheumatodid arthritis,
Osteoarthritis, Frozen shoulder, Muscle cramp, Neck pain and Back pain.

 The Link
Between Gut
Bacteria and
Weight gain

S
cientists from China, have recently shown that significant weight loss could be achieved
through a diet rich in probiotic and Prebiotic foods. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria found in
the gut. Prebiotics are nutrients that provide food for probiotics.
In one landmark study, a man weighing 175 kilos lost 59 kilos in 23 weeks eating a traditional
Chinese diet rich in probiotic and prebiotic foods. His blood pressure and Sugar levels also
returned to normal. The patients gut bacteria were analyzed before the start of was made up of
35% Enterobacter, a harmful bacteria. But at then end of the study, the bacteria was
undetectable. The scientists also found that planting the Enterobacter bacteria into mice caused
them to gain weight. Studies now show that the toxins from Enterobacter promote weight gain.
Probiotics help the body fight off harmful bacteria and fungus that invade the body. Low levels of
probiotics in the stomach and intestines encourage the growth of harmful microbes like E Coli,
Staphylococcus, and Enterobacter. Some of the commonly known probiotics are Lactobacillus and
Bifidus. These probiotics have several different strains that have specific roles in the digestive
system.
Probiotics in the gut belong to 2 main classes of microbes known as bacteriodetes and Firmicutes.
Both classes of probiotics are essential for maintaining a healthy gut. However, studies show that
our body weight may be influenced by the balance of these two classes of probiotics. People with
normal weight tend to have more of the bacteriodetes than Firmicutes, while overweight people
have more Firmicutes than bacteriodetes.
Probiotics increase the excretion of fat and reduce their absorption. Probiotics also help the body
release an appetite-suppressing hormone and fat burner called GLP-1. The probiotic Lactobacillus
is also known to help with weight loss and fat burning. In one study, participants took
Lactobacillus with their meals for six weeks and lost an average of 3% body weight.
Good food sources of probiotics include yogurt and other dairy foods like soft cheese. However,
Dairy is increasingly becoming a problem food because commercially farmed milk contains high
levels of hormones and antibiotics injected into cows to increase milk production and prevent
infections. Dairy also stimulates the production of mucus, and should be avoided by people with
asthma and other respiratory and allergy diseases. Goat and Sheep produce are healthier
alternatives and are good sources of probiotics. Kefir is a natural culture that ferments milk into
probiotics and is a rich source of probiotics. Sauer Kraut, sour pickles, and other fermented
vegetables are equally rich sources of probiotics.

 Q&A

I frequently suffer from bouts of pain

all over my body, a problem Ive had
since my 20s. I am 55 years old. The pain
affects my arms and legs mainly, but I
also have back ache and occasional joint
pain. Ive been told I have fibromyalgia
and also polymyalgia rheumatic. I have
tried many different medications in
the past, but I mostly live with the pain
and take painkillers when the pain is
unbearable. I was placed on high dose
steroids and suffered many side effects,
and so Im not keen on taking them. Ill
appreciate your opinion.

Im sorry to hear of your problem. No one should live with pain. The diagnostic scans performed at
MedB Clinic shows that people with chronic pain usually have problems with the hormonal, detox,
immune and digestive systems. Very commonly there are high levels of toxins and these toxins are
the underlying cause of inflammation, or contribute to already existing inflammation.
Studies show that people with fibromyalgia have very high levels of toxic heavy metals including
lead, mercury, and cadmium. Mycotoxins are toxins from molds and are implicated in
fibromyalgia. A cellular detox agent such as Pectasol will help eliminate toxins from the body.
Infections from viruses, especially papilloma, herpes, and cytomegalovirus are typically found in
sufferers of chronic pain. Viruses have a preference for the colder organs of the body such as the
nerves where they cause inflammation and worsen pain. Viruses, just like other microbes that
target the body are usually opportunistic and will invade the body when the immune system
becomes compromised.
A dysfunctional immune system is a cause of chronic pain. Many studies show that a viral illness
often precedes chronic pain. Many people with chronic pain recount having what seemed like a
prolonged viral infection before their pain started. Viral infections drain and weaken the immune
system.
Viruses and other harmful microbes can be resistant to prescription antibiotics. However, the are
eradicated with the antibiotic colloidal silver. Colloidal silver is the preferred antibiotic of choice
for treating viral and fungal infections. Unlike most prescription antibiotics that only treat
bacteria, colloidal silver is effective against a broad spectrum of microbes including viruses,
bacteria, fungi or parasite.
Problems with the gut is also a common occurrence with people suffering chronic pain. People
with fibromyalgia usually suffer from leaky gut syndrome, which is a known cause of digestive
and immune system problems. Leaky gut syndrome occurs when the intestines become severely
inflamed and permeable to undigested food particles that enter the bloodstream, triggering
diseases that lead to more inflammation and more pain.
You should have a full body scan to find out the most affected aspects of your health. Treating the
underlying cause of the illness will give your body the chance to heal.

Understanding
Hernias

U
nderneath the skin and fat is a tough mesh-like layer sometimes called the fascia, whose
function is to hold in place the abdominal organs, including the stomach, intestines, and
liver. When this tough layer becomes weak at any point, the organ adjacent to the layer
pushes through the weakness and appears on the skin as a lump, referred to as a hernia.
Hernias typically occur at different areas in the abdomen. An inguinal hernia develops in the in-
guinal region, the area where the thigh meets the trunk. This area is prone to weakness, especially
in men. Another common hernia is a hiatus hernia, which occurs around the sternum or midpoint
of the chest, due to the weakness of the diaphragm (the muscle that separates the lungs from the
stomach. The stomach will slide or protrude through the weak point on the diaphragm. Incisional
hernias occur around surgical incisions due to weaknesses of the scar tissue. Another common
hernia in children is called umbilical hernia which occurs when part of the intestines slide into the
belly button.
Hernias are associated with conditions that cause a persistent build-up of pressure in the abdo-
men which stretches and weakens the fascia holding organs in place. Conditions that build
pressure in the abdomen include a persistent cough, constipation, weight lifting and strenuous
vomiting as well as poor lifting and bending techniques.
The symptoms of a hernia will depend on the area the hernia occurs. Inguinal hernias may not
cause any problems at all, except for a visible lump on the skin. But usually, there is pain around
a hernia or occurring during activities such as bending or going to the toilet. The risk of inguinal
hernias is that the protruding organ such as the intestine may become strangulated and its blood
supply cut off, causing life-threatening septicemia. Hiatus hernias typically cause acid reflux and
heartburn. Hernias occurring on incisions will produce a lump and sometimes cause pain.
The nutrients that support and maintain the fascia include MSM (Methyl Sulphonyl Methane),
Vitamin C, Manganese, and Silica, and the strength of the fascia produced will depend on how well
these nutrients are available to the body. Deficiency of these nutrients, particularly of MSM will
cause a weakness of the supporting fascia and ensure hernias.
Hernias are usually treated by surgical repair to push back the protruding organ and tighten the
loose fascia layer. But hernias recur very quickly after surgery and may appear in other areas un-
less the body is strengthened with the necessary nutrients. Bands are also used in mild hernias to
push back the hernia, and they work better when combined with healthy nutrition and the
necessary supplements such as MSM. People that bend and squat a lot should learn the proper
technique of bending the knee and not the waist.

 Colloidal Silver: The Universal
Antibiotic
S
ilver has been used for thousands of
years as an antibiotic. Ancient cultures
used silver pots to store water, with
the knowledge that it will protect them
against diseases. Silver dressings and products
are currently used in specialist hospitals to
speed-up the healing of wounds. The interna-
tional Space station and the Russian Space sta-
tion use colloidal silver to purify water. Most
recently, silver has been recommended for use
in surgical instruments and silver coated cath-
eters, to prevent MRSA infections. .
Colloidal Silver was recognised as a powerful
antibiotic as soon as it was first discovered by
Dr Silver in 1906, but it fell out of favour dec-
ades later, when antibiotics became available.
And today, with the rise of antibiotic resistant
microbes, colloidal silver is making a come-
back as the preferred antibiotic of choice for a
variety of infectious diseases.
Several scientific studies have demonstrated
that colloidal silver is a powerful antibiotic.

 Embarrassed by Bad Breath?
George Orwell wrote that You can have affection
for a murderer, but you cannot have affection for a
man whose breath stinks. Whether you call it bad
breath or halitosis, its an unpleasant condition
that is cause for embarrassment. Some people with
bad breath arent even aware theres a problem. It
is important to distinguish between transient bad
breath such as bad morning breath and persistent
bad breath. Bad morning breath is due to reduced
flow of saliva during sleep, which encourages bacte-
ria acting on stagnated food particles in the mouth.
Problems in the gut usually cause halitosis or bad
breath.The odor associated with halitosis can orig-
inate from the mouth, but in many cases, it comes
from deep inside the stomach and the intestines.
A lack of healthy gut bacteria called probiotics is a
known cause of bad breath. Probiotics are essential
for our health, especially for the health of the diges-
tive system.
Probiotics are essential for proper food digestion
and absorption. Probiotics also help keep down
the population of harmful bacteria that produce
the putrid smell associated with halitosis. A study
from Japan found that a deficiency of the probiotic
Lactobacillus salivarius would cause halitosis. When
the scientists gave people the probiotic, the foul
smell reduced. Another study found that Lactoba-
cillus is essential for maintaining oral hygiene.
Without adequate oral hygiene, food particles
remain in the mouth, collecting bacteria which can
cause bad breath. Food that collects between the
teeth, on the tongue, and around the gums can also
rot and leave an unpleasant odor.
Also, what you eat affects the air you exhale. Cer-
tain foods, such as garlic and onions, contribute to
objectionable breath odor.Bad breath can also be
caused by dry mouth (xerostomia), which occurs
when the flow of saliva decreases. Saliva is neces-
sary to cleanse the mouth and remove particles that
may cause odor.
Dry mouth is a common side effect of many drugs
and also occurs from breathing through the mouth.
Bad breath may also be a symptom of a medical
disorder, such as a local infection in the respirato-
ry tract, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic
bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance,
14www.medb.es
liver or kidney disease.
While most bad breath can be banished with sim-
ple hygienic steps, there are times when dental
or medical conditions might be the culprit. Make
an appointment with your dentist if you notice
a persistent odor coming from your mouth. Your
dentist will be able to pinpoint any cavities or de-
cay, or even periodontal (gum) disease that might
be causing your bad breath. Very rarely, bad breath
can signal a larger problem, including infection, and
even kidney or liver disease which is a reason to
visit your doctor if the dentist doesnt find a cause
for your bad breath.
Bad breath from decaying food particles and bacte-
ria often strikes when people arent observing good
oral health. Brushing and Flossing of the teeth and
tongue will help keep the breath fresh.
Believe it or not, saliva is your best weapon against
bad breath. Chewing gum (additives free gums) will
stimulate saliva production. Mints help mask the
odor temporarily.
Water keeps the level of bacteria in the mouth to a
minimum and drinking adequate amounts of water
daily ( at least 2 liters) will help cure or reduce bad
breath.
Taking probiotics will help alleviate bad breath
caused by bad gut bacteria. Gargling with baking
soda dissolved in warm water is a good remedy for
bad breath.

Vitamin B3 protects against skin cancer

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine

has shown that the active form of Vitamin B3 also known as
nicotinamide significantly reduced the risk of contracting skin
cancer.
The 12-month study involved 386 participants that had a
history of at least two non-melanoma skin cancer in the last
five years. One-Half of the group received 500 mg nicotinamide
twice daily, and the other group received a placebo. At the end
of the study, the scientists were surprised to notice a 23% re-
duction in non-melanoma skin cancer.
The researchers noticed a 20% reduction in basal cell carcinoma, which makes up 80% of all skin cancers.
The rate of squamous cell carcinoma, another skin cancer was reduced by 30%. The scientists also observed
that vitamin B3 protected the skin against premalignant skin cancer called actinic keratosis. Previous
studies have also indicated that nicotinamide may help prevent skin cancer.

Magnesium for Irregular Heart Beat

Magnesium is responsible for the normal transmission
of signals through the body making magnesium a vital
nutrient for many thousands of chemical processes
that regulate the internal workings of the body.
Magnesium is essential for regulating the contraction
and relaxation of the muscles in the body, including
the muscles of the heart. And so magnesium is pivotal
in regulating the force of contraction of the heart as
well as the rate of contraction or the hear. A lack of
magnesium is the main reason for an irregular
heartbeat.
Blood tests measuring magnesium levels will nearly
always be normal because only 1% of magnesium is
found in the blood. The remaining 99% is found in cells
and impossible to measure through a blood test.
The importance of magnesium in the treatment of
irregular heartbeat came to our attention at MedB clinic a few years ago when Andrew visited our clinic.
He had been suffering from an irregular heartbeat for a few years and after a diagnostic scan and
treatment, his problem improved significantly, but never fully disappeared. Many months later, Andrew
learned about the role of magnesium in regulating heartbeat and started taking magnesium
supplements which completely cured the irregular heartbeat.
Magnesium helps regulate blood pressure by relaxing the arteries. It also helps the colon absorb water to
soften stool and prevent constipation. The commonest symptoms of magnesium deficiency are muscle
cramps, irregular heartbeat, constipation, and headaches.
Magnesium malate is the best-absorbed form of magnesium. Other forms of magnesium such as
magnesium citrate and carbonate are poorly absorbed. Liquid magnesium or magnesium oil can be
applied on the skin and is very well absorbed.

Immune system determines our friendliness

Scientists from the university of Virginia, have postulated that the immune system directly affects and
even determines social behavior such as our desire to interact with one another.
The scientists have determined that a specific immune molecule called interferon gamma seems to be im-
portant for social interactions and that a lot of animals including fish, flies, rats, and mouse would activate
interferon gamma when they are social.
Blocking the molecule in mice made the animals less social, and when levels were restored in the brain, the
animals became normal.
The researchers believe that a malfunctioning immune system may play a role in social deficits found in
many people with psychological and psychiatric problems including schizophrenia and autism.

The Full Body Scan at MedB
How the scan works
The diagnostic scan examines the whole body by measuring the frequencies of the cells, tissues
and organs in the body. Different parts of the body emit unique frequencies, and with the aid
of sensitive technology, these frequencies are measured and analysed by advanced computer
programmes to determine your state of health with high accuracy. At MedB, we use the most
advanced form of this diagnostic technology called Sensitiv Imago.
What to Expect
At MedB, our aim is to make your scan experience as comfortable & relaxing as possible.
It takes only 45 minutes for the first appointment, all of which you would spend in a relaxing
easy chair, watching a visual interpretation of the scan in progress.
The only things you need to remove for the scan are any jewellery or metal/electronic objects.
We would also ask that for 48 hours before the scan you avoid coffee, alcohol & very spicy food.
Everything else is OK. You also need to avoid smoking or using your mobile phone an hour
before the scan.

Included in the report of the scan will be a recommended

Direction of Therapy that we suggest based on the findings of
the scan.
We divide the therapy into 1st and 2nd Line therapy. The first
line therapy is usually to treat the underlying cause of the
illness while the second line therapy is to help regenerate and
strengthen damaged areas of the body.
Taking the Direction of Therapy is by no means a compulsory
requirement but we will point out that we only prescribe
products based on many years of use and supported by
extensive research.

Benefits
Non-invasive and Safe: Unlike other scans such as X-rays and CT-scans, your body is not ex-
posed to harmful radiation.
Accurate and Detailed: The scan reads information from the cells and tissues as well as from
organs and systems to produce an accurate and detailed information about your state of health.
In contrast, other scans such as endoscopies use a camera to examine just the surface of internal
organs.
Affordable: A similar scan using the same technology cost up to 6 times more in England and
other EU countries. Products from MedB are also cheaper than anywhere else.
