GroundBreaking Research by Two Best-Selling Authors: Elevated Homocysteine IS Causatively Associated with over 100 Major Medical Conditions! Dr. James Braly and Patrick Holford combined their years of research and writing experience to produce The H-Factor Solution. This book shows that elevated homocysteine is not confined to heart disease, strokes, abnormal blood clotting, and Alzheimers disease, but is a powerful, independent risk factor in more than 100 other major medical conditions as well—cancers, leukemia, accelerated aging, clinical depression, sleep apnea, alcoholic withdrawal seizures, problem pregnancies, H. pylori ulcers, diabetes, and hypothyroidism, to name just a few. The authors go on to show what factors contribute to high homocysteine, how to detect it if it’s too high, and how to dramatically lower it to a risk-free range with simple dietary changes and aggressive nutrient supplementation. The H-Factor Solution is the first book to clearly explain how plasma homocysteine is the single best functional indicator of folate, B12, and B6 vitamin status; when homocysteine is high, one or more of these vitamins is low. The H-Factor Solution is also the first book to compellingly argue that elevated homocysteine is also an excellent biological marker for glutathione, SAMe, L-cysteine, and methyl donor deficiencies; when homocysteine is high, one or more of these critical antiaging, health- promoting natural body chemicals is deficient.
