In this placebo-controlled study of 60 infertile men, giving L-carnitine (LC) and Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) increased sperm motility and improves the total free radical scavenging capacity in semen. The study design was 1 month of run in, 6 months of therapy or placebo, and 3 months of follow-up evaluation. The participants were randomized to a double-blind therapy of LC 3 g/day, ALC 3 g/day, a combination of LC 2 g/day and ALC 1 g/day, or placebo. Results showed that total sperm cell motility and forward sperm cell motility increased in subjects who received ALC alone, or in combination with LC after 3 months.

Researchers studied nearly 80,000 postmenopausal women who took proton pump inhibitors ("PPI") for two years or more (PPI's are acid-blocking drugs for heartburn, like the "Purple Pill™" Nexium, Prilosec, or Prevacid). They found the women taking PPI were 36% more likely to suffer a hip fracture, compared to women who never took it. This means it was as likely to cause a hip fracture as prevent one! And the longer they took the drug, the worse it was for their bones.

Milk bacteria (e.g., acidophilus, Lactobacillus, etc.) are not the only healthy probiotics. New research using another major healthy bowel bacteria (called E. coli — but not the type that causes food poisoning) has found that it also helps spastic colon. I would note that this is a kind of bacteria that has also been used by Professor DeMeirleir in addressing chronic fatigue syndrome associated bowel bacteria overgrowth.
