Conditions Treated With GPC

AGING AND DIMINISHING FUNCTIONS

It is well established that blood growth hormone levels undergo dramatic decline as we enter middle age, and that such decline is linked to aging. However, attempts to revitalize declining body functions due to aging by injecting growth hormone, tends to generate undesirable side effects. Several scientific papers have been published on this subject showing how intravenous GPC can indirectly stimulate growth hormone release (through GHRH stimulation).

In other trials involving "healthy" aging individuals, GPC improved a number of mental processing measures, including improving reaction times and improving visual cortex performance. The findings also showed a reversal of age related changes of the lipid (fat) composition of organs and tissues such as heart muscle cells and red blood cells.

BRAIN INJURY - POST CARDIAC SURGERY

Some 50 to 60% of cardiac bypass and other open heart surgery survivors emerge with some cognitive difficulty. Some recover within days or weeks, others suffer permanent disablement. Symptoms include memory difficulties, mental fatigue, and personality changes. In one trial GPC showed a significant improvement in memory (over placebo) at the 4 week time point. By the 24 week/6 month final time point, there was a striking superiority of GPC in improving symptoms compared to placebo.

BRAIN INJURY - POST TRAUMA

In a publication it was noted that GPC was administered to 23 patients who had suffered from various head injuries. Eight had acute subdural hematomas with multiple hemorrhagic foci, 6 had cerebral contusions with multiple hemorrhagic foci, and 9 had concussions. After 3 months of GPC therapy 96% of the patients had improved; 61% returned to being independent and professionally active.

COGNITIVE DECLINE

Cognitive decline resulting from vascular or Alzheimer's (non-vascular) dementia, to "senile organic brain syndrome" involves neural circuit breakdown linked to oxidative or inflammatory damage.

Similar to stroke, these damages feature cell-membrane breakdown, phospholipid breakdown and brain metabolic dysregulation. In recent clinical trials it has been shown that GPC improved mood, attention, memory and other cognitive functions, interpersonal relationships, and word fluency. It also achieved a marked improvement with disorientation, irritability, emotional liability, and indifference to surroundings.

HEART AND BLOOD VESSEL DISEASE

The use of GPC over the past 8 years by Chelation doctors worldwide has shown GPC to be extremely useful in helping patients avoid by-pass surgery, angioplasty, strokes , and amputations (especially in diabetics). It is thought to reduce plaque deposits in the arterial walls and to help reduce the "stiffness" of the 75,000 miles of blood vessels in the body. More clinical trials will be needed to verify its exact method of action. The results from intravenous GPC are greatly improved if used in a program that is combined with intravenous EDTA Chelation therapy.

HYPERCHOLESTEROLMIA

As previously mentioned, GPC aids in the removal of cholesterol deposits from cell membranes, arteries, fat cells, and muscle and connective tissue. It also reduces homocysteine levels and because of this it can normalize HDL/LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.

LIFESPAN

Other studies on laboratory animals indicate that treating relatively aged animals with GPC over an extended period, increased animal lifespan by an average of 36%.

MALE FERTILITY

GPC is essential in male fertility since low GPC is correlated with poor sperm motility. GPC has been found to greatly improve male sexual competence. There has been sexual competence studies done with older animals where their sexual function were greatly improved following a series of intravenous GPC treatments. The sexual competence of these animals had been almost nil prior to the treatments.

STROKE

GPC was studied in clinical trials involving over 2000 stroke patients. GPC markedly improved the pace and extent of recovery. All aspects of memory, cognition, mood, word fluency, sociability, and overall clinical status were improved by the 6-month intravenous GPC regimen. One document declared that GPC is unmatched for STROKE recovery. GPC can be also used as a prophylactic and a treatment for "fat embolus".
