Abstract: A process to improve performance of an individual during a long term sporting event includes the steps of providing in ingestible form a plurality of doses of a first nutritional composition, each dose including a known equivalent concentration of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc; providing in ingestible form a plurality of doses of a second nutritional composition, each dose of the second nutritional composition including a known equivalent concentration of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and zinc; establishing a dietary meal plan including the first nutritional composition for the individual to establish a urine pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.5; following the dietary meal plan to establish a urine pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.5; and, periodically measuring urine pH to confirm a urine pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.5.

Abstract: A method and solution for perioperatively inhibiting tumor cell adhesion and a variety of pain and inflammation processes at wounds from general surgical procedures including oral/dental procedures. The solution preferably includes at least one anti-tumor cell adhesion agent and multiple pain and inflammation inhibitory agents at dilute concentration in a physiologic carrier, such as saline or lactated Ringer's solution. The solution is applied by continuous irrigation of a wound during a surgical procedure for preemptive inhibition of pain and while avoiding undesirable side effects associated with oral, intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous application of larger doses of the agents.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of inhibiting tumor cell adhesion, pain, and inflammation at a wound during a surgical procedure by delivering an irrigation solution containing a tumor cell anti-adhesion agent and a plurality of additional agents to an operative site during the surgical procedure. In addition, methods of inhibiting tumor cell attachment and implantation during a surgical procedure as well as inhibiting tumor metastasis during a surgical procedure are also provided.
