Dr. Rhubens D.,
One of our friends that works with my husband is at Kaiser and she has had 2 strokes, one was stopped according to our information, and the diagnosis is Moyamoya disease. Our friend Mai is 46 years old and had been complaining of headaches. They have told us that surgery is the last option and that she has some limited movement now on her right side.
I have also read that the success of the surgery in this disease is related to the doctors success in previous surgeries and his knowledge and prior surgeires with this disease. Our friend is in Irvine Ca hospital. How can we help her to find the best doctor for the best outcome in this case? She is a patient of kaiser. Jul
Hello Dr. Rubens,
I recently read an entry you wrote regarding nitric oxide and its effect on neurology and more specifically computational abilities of the brain. You went on to warn that high levels of nitric oxide can be toxic. I have read this observation elsewhere. However, I am curious as to whether you would be able to give me any more specifics as to the level of nitric oxide intake that is toxic for most patients.
My research pertains to an athletic enhancement supplement that claims to increase levels of nitric oxide in the body. The supplement contains of arginine-alphaketoglutarate, arginine-ketoisocaporate, and l-arginine monohydrate. Each dose contains 2000 mg of a combination of the aforementioned arginines. The delivery method is a powder contained in dissolvable capsules.
I recognize that the means of producing the supplement have a good deal to do with how the arginines will be delivered into the blood stream. However, can you give me any feedback as to the safety of that level of intake?
I appreciate the feedback. My email is nononojive@hotmail.com I look forward to hearing from you soon.
