FDA Ponders Weight Loss Drug that Increases Suicidal Thinking

Instead of pondering your next meal, now a person will be able to lose weight while pondering if they would like to live. Is the benefit worth the risk? Sanofi-Aventis’s drug Acomplia is one more example of how artificially influencing appetite signals, and thus leptin, is like playing with dynamite. Leptin is powerful, it controls survival. When drugs interact directly with subconscious brain circuitry associated with acquiring food, the result is highly unpredictable.

Obesity Drugs are Problematic

Obesity drugs are big business, pulling in 1.2 billion in sales last year. The British Medical Journal just published a review of the three main weight loss drugs and found that Orlistat increased rates of gastrointestinal side effects and slightly lowered concentrations of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), Sibutramine lowered concentrations of HDL, raised blood pressure, and increased pulse rate, and Rimonabant increased the risk of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

In a strange twist of events your stomach’s hunger hormone, ghrelin, may help to protect you against stress-induced anxiety and depression.

New Insights on Overcoming Fear and Anxiety

The fear center in your subconscious brain is called the amygdala. New science shows that during fear/anxiety the number of GABA receptors on cells of the amygdale decline, thereby enabling fear to dominate in response to a stimuli. Conversely, when there is no fear there are more GABA receptors.

Anxiety is a Problem of Missing Brakes

A new study shows that individuals with anxiety have a disconnect of regulation between the frontal lobes of the conscious brain and a core regulating center in the subconscious brain (amygdala). In normal situations your frontal lobe thought process dampens and regulates the alarm coming from the amygdale, helping to keep negative emotions in check and under control. The new study shows for the first time that this method of self-regulation is lacking in people who have too much anxiety as a baseline of function. In essence, they are lacking anxiety brakes.

Quercetin Reduces Pain, Anxiety, and Depression

Corticotropin-releasing hormone/factor (CRH, also called CRF) is released by your hypothalamus gland to coordinate the production of adrenal hormones and your stress response. Chronic stress can lead to excess CRH production, in turn dorectly causing anxiety and depression. A new study shows that quercetin can stop excessive CRH production and thereby take the edge off of anxiety and depression.

Beer Causes Autoimmune Disease – Skin, Gut & Brain at Risk

Every now and then the mainstream news creates what I call a teachable moment. The majority of Americans could care less about a subject as seemingly obtuse as gluten intolerance. Then along comes a headline indicating beer intake by women can cause gluten-induced autoimmune disease, and all of a sudden, a significantly larger portion of America has its ears open. A companion study has linked gluten sensitivity to depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. This means a whole lot more than the 1% of Americans with Celiac disease should at least understand something about this topic and how it may relate to their health.
