Toxins and medications damage mitochondrial function. Find out how you can protect mitochondrial function and prevent chronic disease.
We know that genetically-modified foods, pesticides like RoundUp, high fructose corn syrup, heavy metals and medications all disrupt mitochondrial function.
Specifically, medications that interfere with mitochondrial function are numerous: cardiovascular meds, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds, statins, chemotherapies, diabetes meds, HIV/AIDS meds, anti-epileptic meds, and Parkinson's meds.
Our patients with chronic conditions respond well with I.V. ozone treatments and nutraceuticals to support healthy mitochondrial function.
We offer organic acid testing and micronutrient testing to diagnose mitochondrial function.
I recommend several formulas from Xymogen including: L-carnitine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, CoQ10 enzyme, NAC, glutathione, resveratrol, quercetin, green tea and omega 3's. Xymogen has a great product called Mitochondrial Renewal Kit that incorporates several mitochondrial rejuvenators. These co-factors all support healthy mitochondria. They protect against DNA damage, free radical formation and injury and actually increase mitochondria DNA in numbers.
I recommend L-carnitine to patients with chronic disease because most are carnitine deficient. Carnitine transfers long-chain fatty acids for fuel to the cellular mitochondria. Carnitine and Alpha-Lipoic acid can create new mitochondria and reverse non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Resveratrol works on the surtuin genes which determine our longevity.
