Acupuncture
...as a treatment
“...A major part of the theory is that health is achieved through balancing yin and yang, and that disease is caused by an imbalance leading to a blockage in the flow of Qi (vital energy) along pathways known as meridians...”
Anxiety
...recommendation Kava
“...Although preliminary, due to the small sample size, a trial suggests that kava extract (280mg standardized extract per day) may target the baroreceptor pathway and improve Baroreflex control of heart rate (BRC) in patients with generalized anxiety...”

Biotin
...as a treatment
“...Biotin plays an important role in some drug-detoxifying pathways. It is an important enzyme cofactor...”
Bromelain

Cancer, General
...recommendation Vitamin D
“...More recent research suggests this is a causal relationship that acts through the body's vitamin D metabolic pathways. For instance, some evidence points to a prostate, breast and colon cancer belt in the United States, which lies in northern latitudes under more cloud cover than other regions during the...”
Chemical Avoidance
...as a treatment
“Avoiding the chemicals which trigger symptoms or increase disease risk reduces the burden on the body's detoxification pathways and tissues...”

“...Some have suggested that DIM may also positively affect cellular signaling pathways, and thus regulate tumor promotion and progression...”
Effects of a Low Carbohydrate Diet
...the condition
“...But when your body runs out of carb fuel to burn, your body's only choice is to burn fat inefficiently using a pathway that produces toxic byproducts like acetone and other ketones...”
Environmental Illness / MCS
...the condition
“...The main mechanism for chemical sensitivity seems to be the failure of the body's enzyme detoxification pathways to adequately clear chemical compounds...”
...recommendation Liver Detoxification Phase II Support
“Reducing the body burden of chemicals can be enhanced by maximizing Phase II liver detoxification pathways with selected nutrients.”
Female Hair Loss
...relationship to Yeast / Candida Infection
“...The exact mechanism is unclear because there are so many possible pathways. The three most likely pathways are thyroid dysfunction, allergies and enzyme suppression.”

...the condition
“...Although men's and women's bodies share the same biochemical pathways for sex hormones, the specific hormones differ...”
Jaundice
...the condition
“...It is important to recognize that jaundice itself is not a disease, but rather a symptom of an underlying pathological process that occurs at some point along the normal physiological pathway of the metabolism of bilirubin...”
Krebs Cycle
...related topic
“The final chemical pathway in the conversion of nutrients to energy.”
Liver Detoxification / Support Requirement
...recommendation Coffee Enema
“...Coffee contains some alkaloids that also stimulate the production of glutathione-S-transferase, an enzyme used by the liver to make the detox pathways run. It is pivotal in the formation of more glutathione, one of the main conjugation chemicals, enabling toxins to be eliminated via bile into the small intestine...”
Liver Detoxification Phase II Support
