Question 1

what is foltanx used for?

Accepted Answer

Rarely:: It is a vitamin supplement with high doses of methylfolate, methylcobalamin (a form of b12), and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate ( vitamin b 6) .
It would potentially be used for elevated homocysteine such as in a few cases of mthfr and possibly specific types of neuropathy. Side effects are not unknown--talk it over with your provider first.

Question 2

how does foltanx help with neuropathy?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't.: Foltanx is a combination of vitamins.  It has no proven benefit in management of neuropathy.

Question 3

what are the symptoms of rf or emf overexposure?

Accepted Answer

Sensitive: Some people feel they are sensitive to theses signals but there is no medical measurement for overexposure. If you feel you are sensitive there are products and techniques to reduce exposure.

Question 4

what is rf body lift? is it effective?

Accepted Answer

RF Radiofrequency: Rf is radio frequency energy and it is used to tighten the body, specifically the dermis.  The effect occurs by applying energy to cause heat induced contracture of the deep skin.  The results are not generally dramatic and if significant excess skin is present, a patient is best treated with excision of the skin.

Question 5

is rf body lift effective after gynnocomastia?

Accepted Answer

New technology: The rf body lift is one of the newest technologies touted to promote skin contraction. This has evolved from lipo to ultrasonic lipo (i.e., vaser) to laser lipo (i.e., smart lipo) to rf lipo. While some early reports suggest enhanced skin contraction the results are early and need to be confirmed in clinical practice.

Question 6

why are my rf and my sm-rnp positive in my labs?

Accepted Answer

Several possibilitie: Positive smith and rnp antibodies indicate a propensity for systemic lupus.  You have the disease, not on the basis of these tests, but if you have features of the illness. A positive rheumatoid factor does not itself indicate rheumatoid arthritis, since it can be positive in many autoimmune dsiseases.  You should have a ccp antibody checked, as well as a C2 and C4 level.

Question 7

which out of rf bodylift and vaser lipo is better?

Accepted Answer

Neither: Not a single technology that is available today will lead to even a small amount of appreciable skin tightening. As far as liposuction is concerned, it is my personal opinion that pal in the hands of an expert plastic surgeon will produce the best results.
Good luck from nyc.

Question 8

what does a elevated rf and a elevated sm rnp mean ?

Accepted Answer

Autoimmune tests: These are blood tests that sometimes ordered to check for certain autoimmune diseases. They must always be interpreted in the context of a patient's symptoms. Sometimes they are positive, and have no connection to the person's symptoms.  Rf is associated with rheumatoid arthritis but can also be positive in other conditions. Sm is associated with lupus; rnp w/ mixed connective tissue disease.

Question 9

i have a sed rate of 61 so my dr ordered a rf, it came back a 10, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Normal level: Rheumatoid Factor is not used to diagnose Rheumatoid Arthritis; it is used to determine how severe this disease may become in a patient who has Rheumatoid Arthritis. The normal level is 0-20. However, 30% of people with RA have a normal RF.

Question 10

i recently had blood work done and the rf factor came back positive, but what does that mean? results state: "rf qn.... 1:1.. positive"

Accepted Answer

Rheumaoid factor: If you are having symptoms of arthritis the rheumatoid factor would be evidence of rheumatoid arthritis.  However, of people with rheumatoid arthritis 20% will be negative for rheumatoid factor while some studies have shown that 20% of normal people will have a positive rheumatoid factor.  If arthritic symptoms test indicates rheumatoid arthritis, but if you have no arthritis meaning unknown.
