I've been writing about it for 20 years, and unless you're new to alternative medicine, you've probably heard a bit about how it relates to heart disease.But just in case you've haven't, here's a refresher: Homocysteine is a harmful amino acid your body forms as a by-product of the digestion of certain foods (like well done steak). Increased homocysteine in the bloodstream is strongly associated with the occurrence of heart disease. This correlation has been common knowledge in alternative medicine circles for years.Your body, however, has a built-in defense mechanism against homocysteine buildup - it transforms it into a harmless substance called cystathionine, which is flushed from the body in the urine. Again, old news.Here's what's new: Recent research conducted in the Netherlands points to the likelihood that some people are genetically unable to convert homocysteine at a sufficient rate, contributing to unsafe levels in the body and subsequent increased risk of heart disease. This research also studied the effects of a treatment for homocysteine my alternative medicine colleagues and I have been recommending for years: Folic acid. And the results confirmed what I've known all along: Folic acid supplementation lowers homocysteine, decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.Now, other studies have shown this in the past. But the Netherlands research took it one step further, concluding that those people with a genetically reduced capacity to process homocysteine were ONLY at increased risk for heart disease when their folic acid levels were low.What that means is this: Even if you're one of those unfortunate souls whose body is ill-equipped to break down homocysteine, folic acid supplementation can "even the playing field" as far as your heart disease risk goes. But taking folic acid isn't the only thing you can do to reduce blood homocysteine - Vitamins B12 and B6 are also critical for the metabolism of this killer amino acid. Oh, and when you cook steak, prepare it as rare as you can enjoy it - because the closer to "well done" it is, the more homocysteine you'll produce in digesting it.But don't skip the steak altogether - it's too good for you!**************************************************************What One of the World's Top Money Managers is Hiding in a British Warehouse ** Now worth $32 million--this little-known investment could soon be worth $300 MILLION (a more than 800% gain) ** There's one easy and low-risk way for you to get in on the deal...

What are the most common hiding places for wayward clamps, sponges, electrodes, retractors and various and sundry other instruments? The chest, abdomen, hips, and body cavities like the vagina. Oh, and here's an interesting tidbit: This kind of thing happens a lot more often to patients who are overweight! The study further showed that fully two-thirds of these mistakes occurred even though the surgical equipment was inventoried before AND AFTER the procedure. This means that not only can't these doctors operate - they can't even count! Complications from these blunders can lead to internal bleeding, infection, and sometimes death. Yet in some cases, patients weren't even aware of their little stowaways until they were "uncovered" in a later procedure. These findings, from a Harvard-affiliated study (the largest of its kind ever conducted), should rightly shock you.Even though such mistakes are relatively rare (about 1 in 20,000), they'd be even more of a scarcity if all the unnecessary surgeries Americans undergo each year were eliminated. That - and apparently losing weight - will keep us out of harm's way as much as possible.
