ramakentesh Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I thought this was interesting given these findings:http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/21642500It might also be interesting to note that diabetic retinal and eye problems have been associated with increased nitric oxide (both neuronal and endothelial) - which include retinal hemmorages, retinal detachments and vitreous floaters...

kluesyk Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Rama,I have trouble understanding, but after reading the article does it mean that the substance in licorice will HELP regulate the nitric oxide or hurt? My dr has me on a small amount of licorice right now to try and help with my use of cortisol (I have adrenal and thyroid failure, severe muscle weakness and pain as well as H-POTS). She has also been giving me infusions 1 x a week of vit c and magnesium(I waste 4x the magnesium from my kidneys) and it seems to be helping some.I could not tolerate florinef due to migraines, hence the licorice use.Thanks for your help clarifying.

ramakentesh Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 This article indicates that hypertension from licorice occurs before salt increases blood volume and that licorice blocked endothelial nitric oxide may explain this. this is interesting given that it is prettymuch accepted that in OI after spaceflight excessive NO is the problem. And perhaps in some POTS patients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
