Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.

Posted on November 21, 2016 by Dr. Gary Pack

A group of 727 people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) were studied. This was to define more clearly these syndromes and to identify their common chemical biomarkers*. Two-thirds of the subjects were women and the average age was 47. Blood samples were checked for histamine as a cause for the inflammation […]

Green Tea, Polyamines and Biogenic Amines.

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Dr. Gary Pack

Polyamines and biogenic amines are chemicals derived from amino acids. Polyamines are involved in intracellular signals. Biogenic amines function in intercellular communication. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) from green tea (Camellia sinensis) targets the pathways of biogenic amines and polyamines. This is of therapeutic interest in treating cancer. Tea is, also, a source of the amino acid, theanine, […]

Polyamines in Food and Ferments.

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Spermidine, spermine, putrescine, cadaverine, agmatine and histamine are natural chemicals found in food. They are known as polyamines*, which are essential to normal cell processes. Polyamines are believed to be made of amino acids and are increased by fermentation. Putrescine can be produced from the amino acid ornithine. Polyamines are made by cells and they […]

Marijuana for Nausea and Vomiting from Chemotherapy..

Posted on July 25, 2009 by Dr. Gary Pack

Oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and smoked marijuana (Cannabis sativa) are used to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). CINV results from chemotherapy with the release of the following neurotransmitters: dopamine, histamine, acetylcholine and serotonin. Nausea results in appetite loss and poor nutrition. Vomiting causes tooth problems, malnutrition and weight loss. There are over 60 cannabinoids besides […]

Multiple Sclerosis, an Autoimmune Inflammatory Disease.

Posted on February 27, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered to be an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the myelin layer around the neurons. Abnormal cells from the thymus produce chemicals that destroy the myelin in MS. Geographic studies of MS implicate a role for vitamin D abnormalities and for dietary pattern influence on the disease. Dietary […]
