That’s right!  That little brown coffee bean packs a mighty wallop and seems to fight off the advances of the nasty Hepatitis C liver virus.

Apparently coffee beans help the liver but not the brain, and doesn’t seem to protect against stupid nose piercings…”She’s beautiful and likes to bathe in beans, and she has a metal rod jutting out from her nose.”  ”Bonus, he said.”

Is coffee antiviral?  YES it seems.

People living with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who drink three or more cups of coffee per day have a 53 percent lower risk of liver disease progression than non-coffee drinkers, according to a new study authored by Neal Freedman, PhD, MPH, of the National Cancer Institute.  Green or Black Tea didn’t do anything for Hep C.

Doctor’s may soon be writing hepatitis patients a prescription for RX:  VENTE HOT EXPRESSO MACHIATTO EXTRA DRY QUAD SKINNY ORGANIC LIGHT FOAM  SIG:  Two Sips P.O. Q 2 Minutes TBT over 20 Min  DISP:  1 (1 Refill) instead of one of the new breakthrough pharmaceuticals for Hepatitis C.   Where’s the next Super Starbucks with the Pharmacy going to pop up next?

Britney  Spears is no stranger to VENTE, and can always be found close to food and drink.  I guess she means “to the Food Market” when she sings, “I Wanna Go?”   (I hope that isn’t a bunny tat hopping through the bunny trail peeking out of her lowriders)  You can get hepatitis from tattoo parlors that don’t sterilize their needles well by the way.

Hepatitis Awareness Bulletin!   It is WORLD HEPATITIS DAY today the 28th, and it is good to get out the message, “Get tested, make sure you don’t have it!”

An estimated 170 million people worldwide have chronic hepatitis C infection. About 3.2 million people in the United States are chronically infected with HCV.  Egypt has the highest infection rate for a single country in the world, and Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean are the regions with the highest infection rates.

A lot of people have Hepatitis C and they don’t know it.  American Idol Judge,  and former Aerosmith front man, Steven Tyler, has been unable to escape the rocker lifestyle without consequence. In 2006, Tyler revealed that he had been secretly living with Hepatitis C for years, and after a hard fought battle using interferon, has reportedly been able to achieve a Zero viral count.  He states the virus has left his bloodstream, but in truth the virus can go dormant and revisit later down the line – so you always need to be vigilant and get your liver function, and viral tests done at least annually.  You can get labs done today without having to schedule a doctor’s visit so you can save the $150 for the visit.  Since you already know what you want, just go to www.beacheslab.com and order yourself a hepatitis  C test  for just $80 USD and in just a few days you will know your situation.

Those that have other liver issues, seem to make it easier for the Hepatitis virus to really take hold.  Those who drink alot of alcohol, take a lot of medications, or have other types of serious illnesses like HIV are at high risk of complications from hepatitis.  Once the liver fails, you are in bad shape, so don’t let it get that far.  There are two new drugs that just hit the market and they have shown great promise in heading off the advances of Hepatitis C.  Victrelis and Incivek both FDA approved this month,  boosts the chances that hepatitis C treatment will result in a cure — that is, a “sustained viral response” or SVR. Although hepatitis C virus (HCV) may not be totally eliminated, an SVR essentially means a person will never have to worry about developing complications of hepatitis C disease.  Incivek and Victrelis both target the HCV protease enzyme, making it nearly impossible for the virus to replicate.  I suggest you take your medication with a large cup of java!

The hepatitis C virus, normally thought to be transmitted exclusively through blood — such as by sharing of needles among intravenous drug abusers — can also be transmitted through sexual activity, principally through anal sex among gay men.  Nobody really knows for sure how the “Baywatch Beauty” Pamela Anderson got her Hepatitis C – it often comes from tattoed rocker guys who sleep around and mess with drugs, so I am not sure where she might have came in contact with anyone like that.  I guess I can look through Net Flix for her honeymoon video with Tommy Lee, or the other love story captured with Bret Michaels to see if there are any clues to how she might have got the C word, Hepatitis.

Get Tested!  Don’t be Yellow  (jaundiced) – stuff can come out of both ends at the same time and that is never good.

Apparently, Hepatitis can make you a very bad speller too.  Constant or contstant makes no real difference as long as the love lasts.  Love yourself and get yourself tested today at www.beacheslab.com.

Time to go Labbing,

Goat milk has long been regarded as the ultimate skin luxury, making it good for the body inside and out! Goat milk is full of tons of calcium so it is good for the bones and the behind! It is said that Cleopatra’s beauty secret was bathing in goat milk.

Karolina Kurkova has great skin and looks great from the front to the behind! She must be swimming in milk! Goat milk is nourishing because it has more vital vitamins and triglycerides (fats) than either cow’s milk or water. It is packed with vitamins A, B, C & D as well as protein, calcium, potassium and magnesium.

Goat milk is gentle because it has a pH level that is closest to that of our skin which is very soothing. (Especially when you are bathing in it!) Goat milk is moisturizing because its short-strand protein structure allows it to be easily absorbed , and is really good for dry and sensitive skin.

Goat milk contains Caprylic Acid which maintains this low alkalinity and there are many other natural ways to increase this acid too - mainly by taking supplements www.ivitaminscience.com and by eating healthy fruits (like coconuts and red apples).  

Any suggestions for who you might want to see in a red applesauce bath? You may want to try that out at home with your special someone! Tell them, “Doctor’s Orders!” And for those who are wondering what happened to the horns on this goat, read my blog on “Horny Goat Weed!”

Time for milk mustaches all,

Dr. Darrin Frye – the TimeMasterMD

Julianne Hough from Dancing with the Stars has great arms (and the works!)  I am guessing hard work – au naturale too! 

So many women want to have arms like the ones they see on TV actresses, Dancers, and Big Screen Starletts.  Certainly, you can make your arms look great, but it is extremely difficult to get lean enough, and most of all to drive out the water from the muscle so you can see the definition.  There’s a secret set of weapons that entertainers use in creating sculpted arms, butts, and bodies and that comes from the knowledge of proper use of nutraceuticals, botanicals, and pharmaceuticals (and a great doctor)!  One of those pharmaceuticals that is widely utilized is oxandralone, “Anavar” which to anyone who has used it, is a “miracle worker.  Remember women, don’t do workouts designed for men, don’t eat diets formulated for men, and never use medication doses prescribed for men! 

Let’s take a look at a Star Sampler, so you can see what’s going on behind the scenes…

Comeback kid, not well known here in the States, but well known across the Pond..

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson – 75 units of Botox, decent rhinoplasty…. and I would guess, 25 mg Anavar daily.  (Note the vascularity, and the lateral bulge of the deltoid)

Anavar is an extremely popular drug amongst females who wish to avoid many of the side effects associated with anabolic steroid use. Its near legendary status is due to the fact that it causes a strong strength gain without increasing water retention. It does this by stimulating the creation of phosphocreatine in the muscle cell without depositing water in either the joints or the muscles allowing for a very hard and ripped appearance. Many users have noticed a distinct suppression of appetite while on the drug which is also very welcome.

Like A Lean and Heavily Muscled Virgin

 Madonna eats a Vegan diet and  uses another ‘miracle’ machine – The Power Plate, and I would guess she is quite familiar with:  25 mg Anavar and 5 mg Winstrol dressing on top of  those soy burgers. 

Anavar is  formulated to drive ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate into the muscle cells continually for sustained muscle growth which studies show about a 20% decrease in body fat, and a 10% increase in lean body mass.  It is so important to retain muscle while losing fat, otherwise you look sickly (Olsen twins). 

She Drops Swedes and Towels, now playing the 19th hole

Nicollette Sheridan (aka Edie Britt)- age 45 – absolutely ideal arms and shoulders, and doing great wtith Pate too.  My guess is 7.5 mg anavar with her protein shake each day.  (note the flared deltoids with smooth full feminine look) 

There are some great arms in Hollywood and some beautiful women for sure.   I’m not saying that they use Anavar or Winstrol above and beyond their diet and workouts, because I don’t know any of them personally.  I do know from living in LA and working in Beverly Hills - the only thing that matters is getting the next role and looking younger each and every day!  But there is a look, and I think you now can see for yourself.  Whatever it takes, no matter the price, is what is done when it comes to getting work.  Anavar can be safe and effective, but only under a physician’s strict care – please, never do this on your own. 

Physician to the  Star’s arms,  

Dr. Frye

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)- can really tie you up!

SHBG is produced by the liver cells and is released into the bloodstream. Other sites that produce SHBG are the brain, uterus, and placenta and vagina. In addition SHBG is produced by the testes; testes-produced SHBG is also called androgen-binding protein. 

Why is this important?  When you are doing testosterone replacement therapy, or trying to maximize your own natural supply, you must try to keep SHBG from increasing or else you will be a weak sister, with erection problems, or ED!

Pop the Protein Bubble – SHBG looks for testosterone to take out of circulation

As you know, the human body uses testosterone to bind to cells and promote lean muscle mass, sexual energy, and vitality.  However, the majority of testosterone is bound or weakly-bound to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and therefore, useless.

This is an example of what can happen with too much SHBG binding up your testosterone.

Estrogen increases SHBG, so if you don’t control estrogen through medications, more of your free testosterone is bound by SHBG and wasted!  The good news is that Vigorous exercise lowers SHBG.  So total testosterone isn’t that important, it is what is available (or free)  that makes all the difference.

If you are on any kind of testosterone program, and your doctor hasn’t prescribed estrogen blockers, that doctor doesn’t know enough about testosterone, and you should call my office, dial the number at  www.pbpmed.com, and get some real help.  Also, keep eating decently, exercise like crazy, and take your vitamins and mineral supplements.  www.ivitaminscience.com.

Free time, and free testosterone matters,

Arnold, if you take testosterone, you better beware of becoming a “girlie man”

Successful andropause (low testosterone in men) treatment requires a high degree of knowledge both by the patient and the physician.  Too many doctors are prescribing testosterone as a “side business” out of their natural medical zone of expertise – all with good intentions.  But they are causing a lot of problems, including elevated estrogen which can cause gynecomastia (man boobs, moobies, bitch tits).  This bad side effect can be permanent so it is a real problem.  The only recourse is for men to have plastic surgery, and that can run anywhere from $7500 – $20,000!  In the USA this is a very common procedure, and there are surgeons that do this exclusively because of the volume of guys needing it!  The problem of estrogen is just one of the many problems with inexperienced prescribing of testosterone – there are several others like ED, and low sex drive.

Gynecomastia – “Moobies”

Men have an enzyme that takes testosterone and turns it promptly into estrogen!  This is called the aromatase enzyme, and it must be controlled and blocked to prevent problems like gyno.

The Estrogen Blockers – here are just two of many choices:

Chrysin- ” a natural aromatase inhibitor” – some guys use this natural product, and probably are into flowers if they do!

Chrysin (5, 7 Dihyroxyflavone) is a flavonoid extracted from the plant Passiflori coerulea, a member of the blue passion flower family.  It is promoted in bodybuilding to be an effective inhibitor of the aromatase enzyme.   I can tell you in my experience, it is a poor choice, even though it is “natural.”

“Arimidex”- Anastrozole – the holy grail of estrogen blockers

A new generation of estrogen blocker – this powerful prescription medication targets the aromatase enzyme with a vengence, and works very well.  It can actually work too well, because estrogen in small amounts is critical to male health.  In fact, you must have estrogen to have lean muscle, and also to make an erection.  So, we need to keep estrogen in a narrow range to have it work for a guy, instead of working against him.  Some see a drop in good cholesterol and a raise of bad cholesterol with estrogen blockers.   (We combat that with Niacin (Vitamin B3).

It is a dangerous time to be a testosterone patient

So, if you are going to do testosterone, don’t do it yourself, and don’t pick a doctor that doesn’t do this full time. 

Full Timer,

Dr. Frye

Leaves can be very stimulating!

Thousands of years of natural selection has created one of the hardiest, most resiliant plants on earth, the olive tree.  The ravages of time have brought floods, droughts, frosts, and countless attacks of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and disease, yet some varieties of olive trees survive, and thrive.  We can capitalize on the acquired wisdom of these trees to keep us healthy!

Popeye the Sailorman was one of the first to reveal a love for Olive Oil!

Olive leaf extract is an ancient remedy whose first recorded use was in 1000 BC. Olive leaves have been called a miracle and is directly cited in science,  mythology, and the Bible as a healer. These leaves have been a used for thousands of years as a homeopathic remedy in the Mediterranean and other parts of the world. 

As a natural health supplement, herbal tea, in capsules, soap, skin care & extracts, it fight cold & flu.  As part of the Mediterranean diet, it boosts immune systems & increases energy, fights infections, and can lower cholesterol.  It would be a great addition to your preventive medicine regimen.

Olive Oil should be a staple in every home – the elenolate is one of the most valuable components in it (great bottle Brachia!)

“Let Food Be Thy Medicine“  Hippocrates 400 B.C.

Researchers found calcium elenolate in olive leaves effective in test tube experiments against 17 viruses:  including herpes, polio, and many influenza (flu) and parainfluenza types.  Many believe it is effective against HIV too – but not as a prophylactic!  They found it effective against 20 bacteria and parasitic protozoans including staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), E. coli,  salamonella, and even malaria!

Someone call the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO), here’s the answer to our problems:

 Start feeding pigs olive leaves….

Get the ducks eating olives in China…. 

Whammo!  No more Swine Flu and No more Bird Flu!  We cut the viruses off at the source!

Sometimes all you ever need to know to be a doctor can be learned in Kindergarden.

Time is fun,

Dr. Frye
