See book keywords and concepts |  GENERIC AND brand names FOR DRUGS
You will notice that most of the drugs described in this book have both a generic chemical name and one or more brand names. For example, Mevacor is the brand name of the cholesterol-lowering drug lovastatin. A generic drug will go only by its generic name. The availability of generics (which cost far less than branded versions) depends upon the length of time a drug has been on the market. Current laws allow drug makers to hold sole rights to sell a new drug for twenty years, after which generics can be made and sold at much lower prices. |

IP6 rice bran extract, made by Tsuno Foods of Wakayama, Japan, is available under different brand names (Purity Products, Source Naturals, Jarrow) as a dietary supplement in health food stores throughout the U.S. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) only makes brief mention of IP6 as "a substance found in many foods that come from plants, including corn, wheat, rice, and soybeans, and in large amounts in cereals and legumes. It is being studied in the prevention of cancer. |
Craig Pepin-Donat
See book keywords and concepts |  Consumers have been duped by this product under the brand names, AbTronic, Ab Energizer, Fast Abs and Ab Force. Don't be fooled if you see another brand name selling the same lies. These products are a waste of your time and money and they will not achieve the promised results. Claims by these manufacturers were so outrageous that the FDA had to step in and file litigation to protect consumers.
Claims such as, "Electronic dream machine that will show you immediate improvement without strenuous time-consuming workouts. |
Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  You can also eat cereals that do not contain added sugar and oil— old-fashioned oats, for instance (not the quick-cooking variety), shredded wheat, and brand names like Grape-Nuts. Breads should be whole grain, and should not contain added oil. Whole-grain pastas are allowed—those made from whole wheat, brown rice, spelt, and quinoa. (Be careful about restaurant pasta. It is often egg-based and made from white flour, and there may well be oil lurking in the marinara sauce.)
4. Fruit. Fruits of all varieties are permitted. |
Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN
See book keywords and concepts | | Aspartame:
An artificial sweetener marketed under several brand names, Aspartame is commonly used in more than 5,000 consumer products such as diet colas, candy, chewing gum, and baking goods. The substance has been linked in several studies to higher incidence of tumors and lesions of the brain, cancer, and even DNA damage.
It's becoming increasingly common to see organic fruits and vegetables at many grocery stores but difficult to find quality organic meat, but it's well worth the search. |
Charles Barber
See book keywords and concepts |  Since Prozac's smashing success, it has become all but de rigueur that new blockbuster drugs have brand names that simultaneously soothe, invigorate, and inspire—the names of Viagra, Celebrex, Claritin, and others have all followed Prozac's lead. In fact, the naming of drugs is now big business. "Coming up with a brand naming used to be an afterthought," says Bill Trombetta, a professor of pharmaceutical marketing. "But today, pharmaceutical companies realize that they need to brand drugs as early as they can and build equity in the brand. | | Before Prozac, the brand names of drugs were generally some simplified version of their scientific and generic names. For example: haloperidol (generic name) became Haldol (brand name). Prozac, the scientific name of which is fluoxetine, was the first drug whose public name was specifically created to evoke saleable images and ideas: in this case, the "pro" connoting positivity, and the "zac" the reassurance and exactitude of science. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  This was going too far, so starting in early April, we called on consumers across the country to start boycotting the products of Horizon Organic and Aurora Organic, and to boycott the brand names that the leading retailers are selling from Horizon and Aurora at Wal-Mart, Costco, Safeway, Giant, Publix and Wild Oats. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Next is ibuprofen (often known by brand names like Motrin or Advil). Carefully done trials of this class of drugs in fibromyalgia (FM) have not shown a clear therapeutic effect, but many of my patients swear by them. The major toxicity from this class of drugs is gastric upset.
A new class of NSAIDs called Cox-2 inhibitors was developed to reduce this side effect. However, a number of large studies have found that these newer drugs have a higher rate of potentially lethal side effects, such as heart attack or stroke, than the old fashioned NSAIDs. |
C. W. Randolph, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The list of synthetic hormones on the market today includes such brand names as Premarin, Prempro, Menest, Ortho-est, Activella, and Femhrt. There are many others.
Synthetic hormones have shapes that are not found in nature. They fit poorly with the body's hormone receptors and therefore produce unnatural chemical reactions and striking alterations in biological activity. Their RBA is often much less than 100 percent, which results in side effects and health risks. Premarin, for instance, is metabolized horse estrogen with a low affinity for binding with any human hormone receptor. | | Synthetic hormone repla cement drugs such as Premarin, Prempro, Femhrt, Menest, Ortho-Est, Activella, and many other brand names, as well as birth control pills, contribute to the development or worsening of estrogen dominance.
Many doctors routinely continue to prescribe synthetic hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and moodiness. These prescription drugs are composed of synthetic estrogen or a synthetic estrogen and progestin combination. |
Bill Sardi
See book keywords and concepts | | Biothera WGP 3-6 beta glucan is marketed under Life Source Basics and Imucell WGP brand names, and is included in other immune-boosting supplements as well. There are many beta glucan products offered. Few offer the dosage, molecular weight, or proven science as does Biothera WGP 3-6.
It appears mushroom extracts and beta glucans will be relegated to playing second fiddle in the war against cancer. They are being studied for use with monoclonal antibodies. Mice with tumors survive longer when administered monoclonal antibodies with beta glucan. |

MILK THISTLE
What it does: Because of its strong antioxidant activity, milk thistle detoxifies the liver and may help regenerate liver cells. It may be appropriate for patients who have alcohol-related liver damage or infectious or drug-induced hepatitis, as well as anyone who is regularly exposed to industrial pollutants. |

Natural Food Grocers
I recommend that you eat nutrient-dense fresh and natural foods. |
Hyla Cass, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Here are some other pointers to help you get the most out of your prescriptions, if you use two or more on a regular basis:
• Know your meds well: what they're for, the generic and brand names, how they affect your body, and what side effects, including nutrient depletions, you might expect. Each drug has its own description on the company's website. It includes side effects and at least some nutrient depletions. Refer to these sites and familiarize yourself completely with any drugs you take regularly. | | Isoniazid is sold under the brand names Lani-azid Oral and Nydrazid Injection.
Action: Its used in combination with other drugs to kill the bacteria called mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis.
Side effects: Rarely, severe liver problems that lead to hepatitis; more commonly, stomach upset, dizziness, heartburn, or nausea.
Nutrients depleted: Calcium, folic acid, vitamins B3 and B6, and vitamin D.
Needed supplements:
• Calcium: 1,000-1,200 mg daily.
• Folic acid: 400-800 meg
• Vitamin B3: 25 mg daily.
• Vitamin B6: 10-50 mg daily. | | Brand names include Capsin, Capzasin-HP Arthritis Formula, Capzasin-P, Dolorac, Menthac Arthritis Cream with Capsaicin, RT Capsin, Salonpas Pain Patch with Capsaicin, Trix-aicin, and Zostrix. Be careful not to get these creams in or near your eyes—they'll sting!
• Acetaminophen (Tylenol). This drug reduces pain without affecting inflammation. It is implicated in tens of thousands of cases of liver damage, including around 450 deaths, every year, and is the single largest contributing factor to liver failure that requires liver transplants. |
Jack Challem
See book keywords and concepts |  InterHealth Nutraceuticals
InterHealth manufactures Chromate chromium polynicotinate, a popular form of chromium, which is sold by more familiar brand names. The company also makes and markets Super CitriMax, which combines chromium polynicotinate with calcium and potassium hydroxycitrates. Super CitriMax may reduce both appetite and weight by improving insulin function and glucose levels. For more information, call (800) 783-4636 or go to www.interhealthusa .com and www.supercitrimax.com. | | Some brand names, such as Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice, give shoppers the impression that they are low-calorie or healthier than other foods. In most cases they are only cleverly marketed processed and refined foods. Their relatively small serving sizes are often unrealistic and only whet the appetite, much like an appetizer.
Some evidence suggests that sugar-free soft drinks alter the brain's taste and appetite centers, increasing our desire for sweet foods. |
Mark Schapiro
See book keywords and concepts |  He calls these "white-box" manufacturers—companies without brand names that are not members of the Electronics Industry Alliance and that frequently sell through discount shops and online sites, in largely unregulated markets, like the United States. This sector of the low-end market in the United States, he said, represents from 15 to 20 percent of national electronics sales. They have not paid the costs of conforming to the European requirements, putting his members at a disadvantage. "Our industry would like to see greater harmonization," he said. | | RAPEX does not list product brand names; it does, though, include a picture of the item in question, and all were taken off the market immediately. There is absolutely nothing to stop those, or any other, confiscated shipments of infant playthings blocked from sale in Europe from being diverted to that other big market across the sea, the United States.
Soon, there was another twist: the city of San Francisco took Chan's idea and passed a municipal ordinance "prohibiting the sale of toys and child-care articles made with phthalates" from being sold within the city limits. | | Today, an American who wants phthalate-free toys can find them in the brand names manufactured by multinationals, which have been impelled to remove them by the European Union. Those companies, according to Joan Lawrence, account for about 40 percent of the U.S. market. But for those who do not have the resources, who are more inclined to buy their toys at discount parlors or buy generic brands online —from outlets that sell millions of baby products each year—if the toys are plastic and soft there is a good chance they contain phthalates. |
Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Well, the FDA insists that aspartame—better known by the brand names Nu-traSweet and Equal—is "one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved." What's more, manufacturers using the no-calorie sugar substitute also insist that their products are completely safe.
But, according to toxicologist Dr. Hull, consumers, through their medical doctors, flooded the FDA with more than 10,000 complaints between 1986 and 1991, reporting 92 different symptoms from aspartame. |
J. Douglas Bremner
See book keywords and concepts |  Generic and brand names include rosuvastatin (Crestor), fluvastatin (Lescol), atorvas-tatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), and simvastatin (Zocor). Lipitor rings up $6 billion a year in sales; Zocor, $5 billion; and the others are close behind.
Indeed, in their enthusiasm for statins and other drugs, some cardiologists advocate the development of a "polypill" that would include a statin, a beta-blocker, aspirin, and maybe an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. |
Melody Petersen
See book keywords and concepts |  Viagra soon joined McDonald's and Coca-Cola on the list of the world's most recognizable brand names. And lifestyle drugs, those treating the problems and irritations that come with age, such as hair loss, wrinkles, and reduced sex drive, became the industry's new rage.
Pfizer was perhaps the first in the industry to transform itself so clearly into a consumer-marketing machine. Since its founding in 1849 by Charles Pfizer and his cousin Charles Erhart, the drug company had shown a knack for getting people to take more medicine. |
