Raynaud's Syndrome

[Guest guest]

I apologize to the group. I have found out that my friend does in fact have

Raynaud's Syndrome, (not just poor circulation.) Now with that said can anyone

please recommend

a protocol that would successfully treat heal that disease. Thank you!

Hi, Has your friend been tested for the other associated problems involving

immunity I mentioned initially? Raynaud's has a strong correlation to other

conditions, so you cant simply put someone on a heavy nutritional protocol.

without first having had them cleared for connective tissue diseases, lupus,

etc. The nutritional protocol is immune boosting, so if there are any other

concomitant diseases that are autoimmune, it would make them much worse.

Since Glutathione is the bodies natural detoxifier, I did a search on

pubmed.gov for you.

 

It appears the the research is limited at this time. glutathione is the

bodies natural detoxifer. It can be enhanced mainly by certain food

sources.

Occupational vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) exposure can induce Raynaud's

phenomenon (RP). However, not all VCM workers developed RP, which suggests

an underlying genetic susceptibility. Genetic polymorphisms of glutathione

S-transferases (GSTs), involved in VCM metabolism, have been shown to

influence certain VCM-related health effects. We have conducted a

case-control study of 58 subjects with RP along with 247 subjects without

RP, from a population of 305 French workers exposed or formerly exposed to

VCM, to assess any association between GST M1 and GST T1 gene polymorphisms,

either separately or in combination, and the presence of RP. None of the GST

M1 or GST T1 genotypes were significantly associated with the presence of RP

among studied VCM workers. A combination of positive genotypes for both GST

M1 and GST T1 was significantly associated with RP presence, compared to the

other combinations of genotypes (OR=2.1, 95% CI=1.1-3.8). OR adjusted for

age, smoking status, alcohol consumption and history of treated hypertension

did not reach significance (OR=2.0, 95% CI=0.9-5.2). None of the GST M1 and

GST T1 genotypes seem to contribute separately to the presence of RP,

suggesting that they are not, when taken alone, a major determinant of

interindividual variability for VCM-induced PR. However, the combination of

both positive GST M1 and GST T1 genotypes appears to contribute slightly to

susceptibility to RP in VCM-exposed subjects. Nevertheless, our study-the

first to examine the role of a genetic component in the occurrence of RP

secondary to occupational exposure to a chemical-corroborates the previous

considerations that interaction between the genetic constitution and

environmental factors is of importance in determining the health-adverse

effects of VCM exposure.

You didn't specify whether the type of Raynauld's disease was

the primary type which is not as serious or the seconday type of

the disease. Since Raynauld's disease is a constriction of the blood

vessels one would think that perhaps a dialator such as taurine perhaps

1 gram three times a day would help. Niacin would probably also help as

well.
