AUSTRALIAN BERGAMET EXPERIENCE

BergaMet has been available in Australia since late 2010. I have now used this in around 600 patients, typically with great benefit & very rare, minor side effects. Our experience mirrors the Italian results with the majority of patients experiencing significant improvements in some & often all common cardiac risk factors.

Typically, there is around a 30% reduction in total cholesterol, somewhere between 35-40% reduction in LDL cholesterol & triglycerides, up to a 40% increase in HDL cholesterol, along with a 20-30% reduction in blood glucose levels & an associated improvement in HbA1C, the best indicator of long term diabetic control. There are also variable benefits in blood pressure control & weight loss, in particular reductions in abdominal obesity.

Also, independent of the above benefits we are witnessing profound reductions in arterial stiffness, an independent marker for cardiovascular risk. Since the introduction, a few months ago, of the more potent BergaMet Mega, the results have been even more impressive & consistent.
The evidence to date clearly supports the statement that Bergamet is the most powerful, natural agent for the management of lipid disorders.
It is my opinion that bergamet should be used in the following clinical scenarios
1) Low risk patients or in statin intolerant patients to lower cholesterol
2) In combination with statins to improve lipid values & minimise statin side effects
3) In all patients with Metabolic Syndrome, as it is the only monotherapy that affects every parameter of this increasingly common condition

Metabolic Syndrome



Practitioners around the globe have accepted the term Metabolic Syndrome to describe combined issues people are experiencing with their cholesterol, blood sugar, testosterone health, weight control, high blood pressure and energy levels. These issues are associated with aging, lack of excercise, poor diet, hormone changes, insulin resistance and extra weight around the middle and upper body (pear shape). People afflicted with Metabolic Syndrome often experience two other problems - blood clotting and low levels of inflammation throughout the body.



According to the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, metabolic syndrome is present if you have three or more of the following signs:



1. Blood pressure equal to or higher than 130/85 mmHg

2. Fasting blood sugar equal to or higher than 100 mg/dL

3. Large waist circumference (length around waist):

4. Low HDL cholesterol

Men - under 40 mg/dL

Women - under 50 mg/dL

5. Triglycerides equal to or higher than 150 mg/dL



Testing your blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure should be performed immediately to determine your risk factor. These factors tie together as people with diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely to experience issues related to heart health and there is a direct correlation between high blood pressure to coronary problems.



Physicians are recommending a natural solution without the harmful side effects of current medicines and as the only effective product on the market for blood sugar control; because of the outstanding results without harmful side effects.



Backed by Published Human Clinical Studies, Bergamet is a completely natural product shown to lower LDL cholesterol, increase HDL cholesterol, decrease triglycerides and blood glucose in these studies!

Research: The fruit extract in Earl Grey tea could help lower cholesterol and prevent diabetes, according to a new study

A fruit extract loved by tea drinkers for the aromatic flavour it lends to Earl Grey tea could help you lose weight, lower cholesterol and protect against diabetes.

The bergamot orange, grown in the Mediterranean, is being hailed as ‘nature’s statin’. It contains chemicals called citrus polyphenols that appear to block production of blood fats, boost metabolism and prevent cholesterol absorption in the gut.

Doctors who gave the extract to heart patients and diabetics claim dramatic benefits. Some of their patients have avoided taking statins, which may have side-effects.

Research on more than 200 patients with high levels of blood fats, carried out by the University of Cantanzaro in Italy, found ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) reduced by 39 per cent after a month of taking the extract. It also reduced blood sugars by 22 per cent and raised ‘good’ cholesterol by 41 per cent.

But Cathy Ross, of the British Heart Foundation, said: ‘This was a small study and more robust research is needed.’

The extract, which is marketed as BergaMet and comes from Australian firm NatHealth Solutions, is awaiting approval as a food supplement in the UK.

Given as a 1000mg tablet to be taken before meals it also reduced blood sugars by 22 per cent and raised 'good' cholesterol by 41 per cent.

Each tablet is made of the extract and pulp of bergamots grown on the coast of Calabria in Italy.

Lead researcher Dr Vincenzo Mollace, Professor in the faculty of pharmacology at the University of Cantanzaro said: 'Bergamot contains extremely large amounts of polyphenols, as compared to other citrus species.

'Two of these, Brutelidin and Metilidin, directly inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis in a similar way to statins and they are not found in any other citrus derivatives.'

In separate research, a leading cardiologist in Australia is giving BergaMet to more than 600 patients, some of whom have avoided the need for statins, while others are on a reduced statin dose but are still seeing major reductions in harmful cholesterol, but with the added benefit of protection from diabetes because their blood sugars are regulated.
Another benefit is patients have lost weight.



'Nature's statin': Bergamot oranges which add flavour to Earl Grey tea could help you lose weight according to new research

In one case, a male patient weighing a staggering 26st lost over 2st in just a month on BergaMet.

Around one in four adults in the UK is thought to have a genetic predisposition to develop insulin resistance, meaning that weight gain and a lack of exercise puts them at a higher risk of raised blood sugars and diabetes.

This is often coupled with high cholesterol, high blood pressure and a tendency to blood clots - so-called metabolic syndrome.

Dr Ross Walker, of Sydney Adventist Hospital and in private practice in Sydney, said: 'I have found in all of my patients who were overweight, there has been abdominal fat loss with BergaMet.

'It is not as powerful as statins in lowering cholesterol and if you have had a heart attack, vascular disease or have a high family risk then statins are what you should have, but statins do not suit everybody and BergaMet has the added advantage of lowering blood sugars.

'Plus, we have seen a significant reduction in arterial stiffness with the bergamot extract which is helpful in protecting against arterial disease. In some patients I have halved the dose of statins they are on because of BergaMet.

'This is a safe, natural product for combating high cholesterol and metabolic syndrome which is showing very promising results, remarkably with no significant side effects.'

BergaMet blocks the same enzyme responsible for cholesterol production as statins, but works at a different site on the enzyme, meaning it does not appear to have side effects in the muscles and the liver.

It also has a direct effect on cell membranes so that sugar is able to enter the cells of the body and insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome are reduced.

BergaMet is available on the internet and costs around £34 for a month’s supply but is awaiting approval as a food supplement by UK regulatory authorities before it can be sold here.

NatHealth Solutions are in talks with major high street pharmacies who are hoping to have it on the shelves by the summer.

Results from patients of a cardiologist
Last year I had a quadruple bypass operation, and upon leaving hospital I was prescribed a number of medications including a statin. Approximately 3 months ago my Cardiologist recommended I start taking BergaMet in conjunction with my other medication. Since adding BergaMet , I have experienced a significant benefit, as indicated by my latest blood tests. My total cholesterol level has decreased by 33%, triglycerides decreased by 50%, my Hdl (good chol ) has increased by 50%, and my blood glucose has decreased by 21%. I have also had a significant loss of weight, during this period as well.
Penny

After adding BergaMet Mega to my normal medication of Lipitor 80mg and Karvezide 300/125 I have had reduction in total cholesterol from 8.4 to 5.9, and reduction of weight of 3.5kgs and a slight reduction in blood pressure. This is over a period of 4 months.

Julio Cesar out, Handanovic in?

Manchester United are ready to offer Inter a fee of around €9m for goalkeeper Julio Cesar, says the Gazzetta dello Sport.

The custodian is one of the club’s highest earners given his €4.5m a season salary and he has a contract at San Siro until 2014.

The Nerazzurri are expected to try to lower the average age of the squad and the wage bill over the summer.

Cesar, now 32, has been linked with the Old Trafford outfit in the past and his future at San Siro is in doubt.

If the club do sell the Brazilian this summer, they have two options to replace him at the Stadio Meazza.

The first is to recall Emiliano Viviano from Palermo given that they have that option at the end of the season.

The other possibility is that they offer a half-share of the Italian to Udinese as part of a deal for Slovenian international Samir Handanovic.

I would think PSG is the most likely destination if not them, back to Brasil.

The above link is about the penalties during the final of the NextGen series played by our Primavera against Ajax. Go to minute 4.10...and tell what you see.

P.S. For what happened in that 'episode', a 19 year old got suspended for 8 months from any competition...thus practically losing 2 years from his vital professional growth..

Cagliari 2 - 2 Inter
Astori 5 (C), Milito 6 (I), Pinilla 60 (C), Cambiasso 64 (I)
Stadio Nereo Rocco (Trieste)

Inter twice fought back from Cagliari goals, but were only able to snatch a 2-2 draw after Mauricio Pinilla’s bitter red card.

This game was played in Trieste, as the restructuring work on the Stadio Sant’Elia continues to drag on, so the club considered it best to play their ‘home’ fixtures elsewhere.

The Nerazzurri won on their debut under new Coach Stramaccioni, albeit squeezing past Genoa in a crazy 5-4 thriller, but here had to do without Douglas Maicon, Wesley Sneijder, Ricky Alvarez and Luc Castaignos. They were joined by banned duo Lucio and Julio Cesar. Cagliari missed Daniele Dessena, Rui Sampaio and Sebastian Eriksson, while goalkeeper Michael Agazzi was not 100 per cent fit.

In the opening minute Agazzi turned a Mauro Zarate strike round the base of the near post, but it was Cagliari who broke the deadlock.

Defender Davide Astori managed to get a stunning volley on target from six yards despite Andrea Ranocchia being wrapped around him as the corner came in. The strike went into the near top corner – a remarkable finish for a centre-back.

Within 60 seconds it was 1-1, as Diego Milito sprung the offside trap from a Mauro Zarate chipped pass, spun round and beat Agazzi into the far bottom corner of the net.

Mauricio Pinilla was booked for a scuffle with Dejan Stankovic, while a looping Esteban Cambiasso header was acrobatically palmed out from under the bar.

Walter Samuel’s header into the ground from a corner bounced over the bar with Agazzi scrambling across. Luca Castellazzi got down to parry a fierce Radja Nainggolan blockbuster from distance after squirming between Cambiasso and Stankovic.

A Stankovic counter-attack was deflected out for a corner, but Cagliari restored their lead with Pinilla. The Inter defence went AWOL as Pinilla was totally unmarked at the back post to get his head on to a Daniele Conti cross and steer it past a wrong-footed Castellazzi.

However, Pinilla took his celebrations a little far and climbed up the fence to go face-to-face with the travelling fans. He had already been booked and, despite not taking his shirt off, Pinilla received a second yellow card.

Inter took full advantage and equalised moments later. Milito flicked on a Diego Forlan cross that landed at Cambiasso’s feet and the midfielder was able to have the wherewithall to prod it past the goalkeeper from six yards.

Zarate curled a right-foot effort wide of the target from a promising position and Castellazzi parried a Conti free header, but only after the whistle had already gone for a shove in the box.

Another sensational Zarate curler from the edge of the box was going under the bar before a desperate flying Agazzi save. Victor Ibarbo dribbled past three Inter players at the by-line until he finally ran out of room.

Cagliari: Agazzi; Pisano, Astori, Canini, Agostini; Ekdal (Perico 83), Conti, Nainggolan; Cossu (Nene 86); Thiago Ribeiro (Ibarbo 72), Pinilla
Inter: Castellazzi; Zanetti, Ranocchia, Samuel, Chivu; Guarin (Poli 56), Stankovic (Obi 84), Cambiasso; Zarate, Milito, Forlan (Pazzini 77)
Ref: Guida
Sent off: Pinilla 61 (C)

Lomba you dont know what he say to the ref .
and explain to me the sense of doing what he did ?
and who teach him to do that ?
you forget that this are players ,and professional
at that .To teach them ?i am sure theres appropiate places
for that.You confuse learning to play football and learning
how to behave

[maro]

Presumably he learnt that kind of respect for the ref from Sneijder. I've always thought he was a good role model.

[Lombardiamia]

[Bagg10]

They're probably just trying to scare the kid. I agree, though, it's bullshit.

[zafferano]

Lomba , they are no professional ?what else they do ?
and can they play in the main team ? or not because
are no professionmal .but you never tell me what was
he doing going to the ref.go and teach Balottelli,he
is another kid,and remember adriano? another kid
he needed learning to .you think like the rest in italy
for everone that commit a crime all go for the easy
teaching approch.do the crime do the time ,no easy
bulshit approch ,that never help anyone.most playes
are just dickheads ,they complain for a yellow
and after a goal take they shirt off ,give the bastards
5 weeks and see if they stop ,and if they dont ,no pay
the idiots .
