June 2023 Archive: Supplements, Treatments & Urban Health
June brought a mix of practical posts: two supplement write-ups, three pieces on treatments or treatment effects, and one look at urban air quality. Below I summarize the main takeaways and give quick, useful tips you can act on right away.
Supplements covered
Lily-of-the-Valley and Sweet Annie were the two supplements I tested and wrote about. The Lily-of-the-Valley post highlights reported benefits like energy and cognitive boost, but this plant can affect the heart because it contains cardiac-active compounds. If you’re curious, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before trying it—especially if you take blood pressure or heart meds.
Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua) is shown as an all‑natural option people use for immune support and inflammation. It’s a plant with known active compounds, so watch for interactions with other drugs and for pregnancy or breastfeeding—avoid self-prescribing high doses. Practical tip: start low, track how you feel, and tell your healthcare provider about any new supplement.
Treatments, fertility, and environment
Myeloma and fertility was a focused piece this month. The clear takeaway: if you or a loved one faces myeloma, discuss fertility preservation early. Options like sperm banking, egg freezing, or fertility counseling are time-sensitive, and some treatments can damage reproductive function.
Amantadine showed up as a possible option for chronic fatigue syndrome. Early reports are promising for fatigue and cognitive symptoms, but the evidence is limited. If you and your doctor consider it, monitor side effects closely—amantadine can cause dizziness and sleep changes—and use it as part of a broader symptom plan, not a stand-alone cure.
Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, was discussed as a potential aid for fibromyalgia symptoms. Some patients report reduced pain and more energy. Don’t try prescription changes on your own: verapamil affects blood pressure and heart rhythm, so work with your clinician and start with careful monitoring.
Finally, traffic congestion and urban air quality was a practical look at exposure and steps you can take today. Rush‑hour pollution spikes mean simple actions help: avoid heavy-traffic routes when walking or biking, use an indoor HEPA filter if you live near busy roads, and time outdoor exercise outside peak traffic times.

Myeloma and Fertility: Understanding the Impact on Reproduction
As a blogger, I've recently been delving into the topic of Myeloma and its impact on fertility. Myeloma is a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow, and it can have significant implications on a person's reproductive health. Through my research, I've learned that both men and women may experience fertility issues due to this disease, such as low sperm count in men or menstrual irregularities in women. Additionally, certain treatments for Myeloma, like chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, can further affect fertility. It's important for individuals with Myeloma to discuss their reproductive concerns with their healthcare team to better understand their options and potential impacts on fertility.

Amantadine: a potential treatment option for chronic fatigue syndrome
I recently came across some interesting information about Amantadine, a medication traditionally used to treat influenza and Parkinson's disease. Researchers have started exploring its potential as a treatment option for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Though still in the early stages, some studies have shown promising results in alleviating fatigue and improving cognitive function in CFS patients. However, more extensive research is needed to fully understand the efficacy and safety of Amantadine for CFS treatment. I'll be keeping an eye out for further developments and will share any updates with you all.

The potential benefits of verapamil for patients with fibromyalgia
I recently came across some promising information regarding the potential benefits of verapamil for patients with fibromyalgia. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker, commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart-related issues. Studies have shown that it may help improve fibromyalgia symptoms by reducing pain, increasing energy levels, and improving overall quality of life. This is particularly exciting news for those suffering from this chronic condition, as current treatment options can be limited and may not provide adequate relief for everyone. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on further research and updates on the use of verapamil for fibromyalgia patients.

The impact of traffic congestion on urban air quality
As a city dweller, I've experienced firsthand the impact of traffic congestion on urban air quality. I've noticed that during rush hours, when traffic is at its peak, the air feels heavier and polluted. Studies have shown that the increased number of vehicles on the roads leads to higher emissions of harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. This not only affects our health but also contributes to climate change. In my opinion, finding sustainable solutions to reduce traffic congestion is crucial for the well-being of our cities and the planet.
