“…Canada's variety 2 killer, just behind cancer, is heart disease (Gladys Block; Ha et al, 2010;Hansen et al, 2014;Hickey and Roberts, 2007). It's the variety one cause of hospitalization and the price to the Canadian economy is staggering at $18.5 billion per year!…”

“…Aortic stiffness increases blood pressure and puts a strain on your heart. Moreover the heart frequency variability (which is an important indicator of stress of heart) is also measured (Gladys Block; Ha et al, 2010;Hansen et al, 2014;Hickey and Roberts, 2007;Kalender et al, 2010;Kunutsor et al, 2016;Marín et al, 2014;Matsuda et al, 1992;Nakata and Maeda, 2002;Nefic, 2001;Noh et al, 2005;.…”

A Canadian researchers team led by dr. GC Willis, found that heart diseases are caused by hidden forms of scurvy and chronic and can be cured with high doses of vitamin C without heart surgery and drug treatments costly and with effects devastating side in organic plan. But the process of healing cardiovascular disease with vitamin C is not approved by the medical institutions and the pharmaceutical industry, which earns billions of dollars in surgeries and drugs that are used in allopathic therapies for various cardiac diseases. Canadian scientist discovery was confirmed in the late 80 s by Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel laureate, the most noted human of his time. The medical care developed by Dr. Pauling include vitamin C with added lysine (amino acid nutritional qualities, existing in most plant and animal proteins) and it works cleanly, healing cardiopathy once thought were incurable. Dr. Pauling medical care records healing miracles coronary diseases. It had been identified back then that vitamin C deficiency within the body weakens human arteries by forming induration of the arteries plaques (infiltration of the walls of the artery and arteries with fat), that blocks blood circulation. This paper aims to spotlight the importance of vitamin C for the treatment and prevention of circulatory diseases especially. The daily minimum demand of vitamin C at tissues and cells level for a healthy person is: 75 mg/day women, 90 mg/day for men, 100 mg/day smokers. But always need a bigger tank because these amounts could reach all tissues and cells of a healthy organism: about 500-1000 mg/day. When the body is disturbed or ill, quantities required to repair cells, are much higher 5000-10000 mg/day.

RESUMENLos micronutrientes se incorporan a la estructura del sistema nervioso central y cumplen importantes roles funcionales: estimulan el desarrollo, la migración y la diferenciación de las células nerviosas. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar la literatura científica sobre el rol de los micronutrientes en el desarrollo de la estructura y función cerebral infantil. De esta manera, se busca aportar al pediatra mayor conocimiento sobre la importancia de la incorporación equilibrada de todos los nutrientes bajo el hilo conductor de la composición de la leche humana. Fueron revisadas las bases de datos de MEDLINE vía PubMed, TRIP database y LILACS. Un adecuado aporte de micronutrientes, como calcio, cobre, colina, cinc, hierro, ácido fólico, iodo y vitaminas, durante el embarazo, la lactancia y la alimentación complementaria impactará sobre el desarrollo cerebral y/o su funcionamiento. INTRODUCCIÓNEl desarrollo del sistema nervioso central (SNC) es un proceso dinámico d e t e r m i n a d o g e n é t i c a m e n t e y modulado por un conjunto de factores epigenéticos.

“…1 Other mechanisms have also been proposed, including antioxidant actions of vitamins and minerals on free radicals and glutamate excitotoxicity prevention. 2 We propose to evaluate for the first time, the mechanism of nootropic action of a commercial preparation of the oleoresin of Ferula spp., although few studies have addressed the research question in other ways.…”

Background: Asafoetida is an herbal food supplement that has numerous peripheral pharmacological actions. Its central nervous system effects have not yet been completely elucidated in both animals and human participants. The study focuses on deciphering the effects of this Herbaceutical with that of Donepezil and vitamin C in mouse models of short term novelty object recognition memory and open field test.Methods: The study was conducted in two stages - a pilot stage which assessed the most effective dose of asafoetida on cognition, followed by a post-pilot study phase wherein its effects at that dose were compared with those of Donepezil and vitamin C. Novelty Preference Test (NPT) on y-maze and Open field test on Open field box were used to evaluate the effects of the formulation on memory and motor activity in mice.Results: A dose of 400mg/day of asafoetida orally was found to improve memory significantly in comparison to 200mg/day in mice. Asafoetida showed a greater potency in improving memory than Donepezil and vitamin C. After 11 days of daily treatment with Asafoetida commercial powder, more than fifty percent of the mice showed an increase in recognition index of 0.7-0.8 as compared to 0.55 at baseline.Conclusions: Asafoetida powder has nootropic efficacy in mouse model - this has to be explored mechanistically and pharmaceutically to enable the psychopharmacological characterization of the active principles and its pharmacological effects in the central nervous system.
