In this article, we’ll take a balanced look at the science behind ivermectin, including its origin, mechanism of action, and therapeutic uses. While every promising treatment warrants attention, healthy skepticism remains one of medicine’s most essential tools. The goal is to understand whether ivermectin could be useful in everyday clinical practice, separating hype from evidence.
Both the quantity and the diversity of total dietary flavonoid intake were independently associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and chronic disease, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, cancer, respiratory disease, and neurodegenerative disease. Participants consuming the widest diversity of flavonoids had a 6-20% significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality and incidence of these chronic diseases.
Discover how bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are shifting treatment paradigms—offering regenerative solutions for bone loss and joint degeneration beyond symptom relief.
A longitudinal study in JAMA Network Open reveals a significant within-person link between increased social media use and rising depressive symptoms among adolescents. Findings emphasize the need for early interventions and informed clinical guidance on youth digital habits.
Chronic health consequences associated with hypomethylation include cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, psychological disorders, and cancer.8,9 DNA methylation results in gene regulation by switching genes on and off and is the most well-studied epigenetic mechanism.10 Epigenetics relates to how environmental influences affect gene expression. This is exciting because we can optimize genetic expression and slow biological aging.
A randomized controlled trial published in the journal Nutrients studied the effects of herbal supplements and probiotics alongside antibiotics and a low FODMAPs diet for SIBO. 179 patients diagnosed with SIBO via breath testing were enrolled in the study. Patients received breath testing at the beginning and the end of the 3-month study. Patients were divided into hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) predominant groups, since treatment varies slightly depending on the breath gas type.
Traditional therapies slow bone loss but don’t rebuild it. This article explains how BMPs play a key role in regenerating bone and cartilage tissue through stem cell activation—transforming how we approach osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
BMP-complex from human bone are known as demineralized bone matrix (DBA used in surgery, in which the hydroxyapatite (mineral) component as well as cells (osteoblast and osteoclast are removed.7,13,21,22 Cyplexinol® is the first food-sourced BMP complex from bovine cortical leg bone. Cows are grass-fed, organic, and hormone-free.7,20 This oral complex contains allRead
BMP-9 deficiency exacerbates joint inflammation and promotes bone loss. Researchers tested BMP-9 supplementation in mice to see if there was improvement in any of the pathophysiological features of RA. They injected BMP-9 into the knee joint at weeks 0, 2, 4, and 6 and monitored its effect via CT scan each week after injection. They also monitored BMP-9 expression in the groups that received the injection and found that expression increased significantly.
This is the first trial showing the efficacy of this probiotic mixture in reducing fever duration in children with URTIs. Fever management can be intimidating for parents, and a safe therapy like probiotics benefits the pediatric patient and their caregiver. Probiotics may also prevent the incidence of and reduce other URTI symptoms.
