  • Publication number: 20170348280
    Abstract: A therapeutic use of ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbic acid and/or derivatives thereof to reverse or counter the adverse effects of channel blockers in the medical management of cardiovascular disease in a subject is presented. Effects of select Na- and Ca-channel blockers on collagen synthesis and deposition were evaluated in cultured human dermal fibroblasts and aortic smooth muscle cells by immunoassay. Ca and Na-channel blockers inhibited the synthesis of collagen type I and collagen type IV, the basic molecules of vascular wall stability. The inhibitory effects of the calcium and sodium channel blockers on collagen synthesis was reversed by introducing ascorbic acid and/or ascorbyl palmitate. It can be concluded that calcium and sodium channel blockers have a direct inhibitory effect on collagen synthesis, favoring the instability of the vascular wall and the progression of cardiovascular disease, an effect that is mitigated by treatment with, ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbic acid and or derivatives thereof.

    Abstract: During clinical trials on patients suffering from neurological disorders, it has been observed that some patients obtain dramatic improvements in motor control and/or higher mental functioning, when they receive a combination of dextromethorphan and quinidine, at suitable dosages. Improved motor control has been exemplified to date by improved ability to swallow and/or speak, among victims of stroke, head injury, or ALS. Improved higher mental functioning has been exemplified in better job performance, increased ability to analyze and solve problems, and increased ability to have successful and satisfying interactions with other people. These types of effects can be seen in a relatively brief time period, such as within several days to a week.
