Information on HypertriglyceridemiaDescription The hypertriglyceridemias are a heterogeneous family of disorders due to disturbances in synthesis and/or degradation of triglycerides rich plasma lipoprotein. Triglycerides (TG) are fatty molecules of long-chain fatty acids and glycerol. Normal triglycerides is less than 100 mg/dL (1.13 mmol/L) in children and less than 150 mg/dL (1.70 mmol/L) in adults. Causes Primary hypertriglyceridemia can be sporadic or genetic. Secondary hypertriglyceridemia is associated with several other diseases: obesity, diabetes mellitus, pregnancy, uremia/dialysis, hypothyroidism, nephrotic syndrome, acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosis, dysgammaglobulinemias, glycogen storage Type I, and lipodystropthy. Drugs associated with hypertriglyceridemia include: alcohol, estrogen, birth control pill, beta blockers, diuretics, glucocorticoid, and isotretinoin/retinoid. Bile acid binding resins cause a modest (<10%) elevation in some patients with Type II hyperlipidemia. Risk factors for hypertriglyceridemia include: genetic susceptibility, obesity, diabetes, and alcoholism. Hypertriglyceridemia can be exacerbated by medical illness and/or drugs (see secondary causes). Conventional Labs Hypertriglyceridemia usually found on cardiovascular lab tests, and is considered a secondary disease. Lab tests would be ordered to find the primary disease, and would include: CBC, chemistry, fasting glucose, and thyroid function tests. Specialty Lab Tests Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address it. Phone consults are my specialty. Please call my at (239) 659-2684 to schedule a consultation.
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
