Now being studied for Obesity and Diabetes!

This amazing supplement was a turning point in my journey for me. Once I had stumbled upon rutin looking for ways to eliminate oxidative stress in my brain, it very literally gave me a whole new focus. I coupled it with Forskholii to boost myself with even more bioflavonoids. The energy and focus without the crash, on top of the stabilizing of my mast cells that I had yet to find anywhere else. I knew the over-the-counter medication assisted in preventing my symptoms, but once I added the Rutin, it was like night and day. I physically saw a difference, felt the difference, and I sit here writing to you, to tell you, it’s worth it. So I’m going to fill you in on this miracle supplement that I had found.

I had already identified a few triggers that I knew may have been a cause to my situation and my brain, that being neurotoxin build up, but also the fact that I worked in the automotive industry for over 20 years and I was exposed to a lot of exhaust fumes over the years. Coupled with the fact that I’m kind of a country bumpkin living out in the county being exposed to fields being sprayed along with all the outdoor molds and pollens that exist, it just seemed worth it to try.

Rutin was talked about years ago, when they discovered this plant flavonoid in the skins of apples and fruits with its many health benefits. This vital phytochemical, that had been discovered and studied to show that it assists in helping with a number of chronic diseases such as cancer, hypertension, and blood pressure.

This flavonoid has now taken on a recent focus for not only obesity but also diabetes. “Several lines of evidence suggest that flavonoids that originated from vegetables and medicinal plants have beneficial effects on diabetes by improving glycemic control, lipid profile, and antioxidant status.” Ghorbani A. Mechanisms of antidiabetic effects of flavonoid rutin. Biomed Pharmacother. 2017 Dec;96:305-312. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2017.10.001. Epub 2017 Oct 7. PMID: 29017142.

Now scientists have been studying Rutin’s effects on obesity and diabetes

“Rutin ameliorates obesity through brown fat activation.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28049156

Rutin

” Increasing energy expenditure through activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a critical approach to treating obesity and diabetes. In this study, rutin, a natural compound extracted from mulberry and a drug used as a capillary stabilizer clinically for many years without any side effects, regulated whole-body energy metabolism by enhancing BAT activity.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28049156/

While diet and exercise have remained a standard practice in treating obesity and diabetes. There may now be another source available in assisting patients when the standard practices are not doing enough.

This bioflavonoid and vital phytochemical can help with fighting inflammation and reducing oxidative stress along with boosting our circulation and repairing cognitive impairment from oxidative stress. Depending on where you look for Rutin, it can be found in an impressive list of produce including most citrus fruits, apple peels, asparagus, onions and even olives.

Rutin is a derivative of Quercetin and is also a natural Mast Cell Stabilizer when it comes to histamine intolerances and allergies. For some, this bioflavonoid is a great option that is bladder friendly as well, it has all the benefits of citrus and acidic fruits without all the aggravation to your bladder and gastrointestinal tract, making it even more attractive to patients with multiple chronic illnesses. With any supplements it is always recommended to consult your physician for advice on whether this would be a great option for you.

I’m the guinea pig…

My venture into being my own lab rat…

Butea Superba is an herbal supplement that I recently discovered. Let me tell you if you click the link above, you can purchase and partake in the said herb. Throughout my venture of getting better I’ve came across various supplements that have helped me in my journey, some that I continue to take, and some that only helped for a little while, but not for the long term.

I’ve been a on a specific hunt to heal my brain, and improve my cognitive function, knowing that eventually I may actually have to relent to dementia or Alzheimer’s at an early age. I still leave that in the back of my mind. The MRIs don’t lie. I have a lot of black space in there, from the various abuses I sustained over my lifetime in my early years before I turned 28, that basically results in damage. Science has proven, that abuse in many forms is just as damaging to the brain just as much as the many concussions that I have suffered in my lifetime. I can at least count 5 maybe 6 total that I did suffer, that I remember.

My husband is also 18 years my senior. Don’t worry we were well beyond the ages of we didn’t give a shit when we fell in love, and age wasn’t a consideration, and still isn’t today. When it comes to my venture into the world of supplements, he’s been ALL in for choosing this over the millions of doctor appointments and tests that had not been getting me anywhere.

I became essentially my own guinea pig, and I’ve been following a regimen for over a year now, and when I stopped the regimen, I suffered memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, headaches and the like, I recently returned to my regimen before I was confident in finishing the book I was writing and beginning the blog you are now participating in reading.

I very well may be on this supplement train forever, but not without all the research that led me to the supplements I’m on. Remember, I’m allergic to just about everything. I have to carefully find things, that are peanut, shellfish, yeast free and gluten free for the most part. I also have to avoid medications and supplements with ACIDS (lets not forget my bladder disease).

Today, my husband and I have ventured onto the train of Butea Superba, because PubMed has literally published articles, verifying that this tubular root, has the potential to literally be a turning point in Alzheimer’s Disease treatment and prevention. So, sign us up, no questions asked. The various other articles tell you about how it helps erectile dysfunction as well as it being nontoxic to the various patients that were tested, and so on.

With our hereditary backgrounds, we know that it very well be in the cards for us, so cognitive decline is what we are preventing. So, we have chosen this supplement specifically. I’ve done the studying, and I’m not a doctor, but it never hurts to try.

Yes, that black space is not supposed to be there, that’s supposed to be full of white matter.
