Re: Jolynn-nutricional supplements

[Guest guest]

Thanks for reminding me Ann.

Yes Jolynn. After having a discussion with several folks on line,

Carolyn Pointers Dad who is a dietician at a hospital had had

Carolyn use a arginine-L supplement and she suggested I look into it.

I found the Novartis website to be very interesting and the product

that seemed appropriate was their Impact-Recover. Just checking now

I see that they have disconintued that product and have a new one in

it's place:

http://www.novartisnutrition.com/us/productDetail?

id=973 & source=summary

Apparently the arginine-L has a very positive effect on rebuilding

tissue damamge...in our case this would be from surgery.

I cleared it with DrRand first. I am sure you know that any

supplements must be cleared with the " doc " as they are very leary of

anything consumed prior to surgery. I used the Impact product 3x

times a day the two days prior to the first surgery while I was

easing off a regular diet. Then I started using it as soon as I was

cleared to start liquids again...I think about 24-48 hours from the

first surgery. I used it between surgeries twice a day as a mid

morning snack and a before bedtime drink. I brought it to the

hospital myself along with a shaker (32 oz Rubbermaid container) and

I would ask the nurse to fill with ice for me and then use the water

in the pitcher to shake and blend myself. It gave me something to do!

Anectodatlly, DrRand said I had the highest albumin level going into

second stage he had seen...I assume that is an indicator of the

arginine protien..and whenever people looked at my scar in the

hospital they remarked at how nicely it was closing. Who knows what

was going on inside but I had a nice recovery...so perhaps even if

it didn't help...it sure didn't hurt.

The way I looked at it..it was one more thing I could do that might

help. The product isn't cheap. It may now be possible to get it

prescribed by DrRand and have it covered by your insurance. Boost is

also one of the Novartis products I think...but it has a calorie

component to it and I am not sure if it has as much arginine-L in

it. I think Pa was given the Boost as a part of her

recovery...?

Any questions...please ask! Cam
