    5α-Dihydroprogesterone (5α-DHP) - Potent Role In Neurodegenerative Conditions

    While researching saturated steroids and their effects on the brain, I noticed a number of highly promosing studies demonstrating benefit of such steroid for a variety of neurodegenerative conditions such as MS, ALS, Alzheimer, Parkinson, etc. Ray has written extensively on the topic of...

    RoundUp (glyphosate) Linked To Alzheimers, Parkinson And ALS

    I posted about a similar study a few months ago, but this time the scientists are directly making the claim that RoundUp is causally involved with these conditions. The mechanism of action is again glycine antagonism / deletion by glyphosate. Monsanto's Roundup Weedkiller Linked to Alzheimer's...

    Shockingly Successful Trial Shows Copper Dissolved In Dmso Treats Als

    I posted some studies before showing that ALS is a disease of mitochondrial origin and delivering copper directly to the motor neurons may be a viable treatment. Here are some of the previous posts on that: Copper May Treat Als | Ray Peat Forum More evidence that diseases like ALS are...

    The Health Dangers Of Emf

    I was surprised to see this posted on Reddit, but there it was. This subreddit is titled "Electromagnetic fields cause cancer, EHS, MS, ALS, MCS, parkinson's, alzheimer's, candida, mold". https://www.reddit.com/r/Electromagnetics/ It has some very interesting posts and the one that caught my...

    Stress May Be The Primary Cause Of Als

    The study claims that the neurological symptoms of ALS may be caused by retroviruses living inside every human being. Typically, the retroviruses are dormant and do not cause any harm to the individual. However, stress, toxins, and estrogen powerfully activate the retroviruses and as such may be...

    An Antiglutamatergic Drug Prevents Foggy Brain Of Old Age

    I don't see a reason why it would not be helpful for all cases of foggy brain, not just in the elderly, considering Ray has written that the excitotoxicity by glutamate is behind many brain conditions including depression. A natural alternative would be the amino acid theanine and/or magnesium...

    Cholesterol May Protect The Brain From Diseases Like ALS

    The study shows the importance of cholesterol and two of its metabolite for the survival of motor neurons. Motor neurons get damages in diseases like ALS. I think the study underscores the importance of cholesterol for health and hints that structurally similar metabolites like pregnenolone and...

    More Evidence That Diseases Like ALS Are Mitochondrial

    Copper May Treat Als

    The study of course tries to talk about how they have discovered a "special" (and likely patented) method of copper delivery to the cell, but the main message is that boosting copper levels in the cells increased lifespan of ALS rodents by 26%. Since copper is the crucial compound for cytochrome...

    High Sugar Diet Prolongs Survival In ALS Patients

    I looked at the study and the carbs were actually sugar, not starch. So, this study supports Ray's view that sugar is protective and some of the benefit these people saw was likely due to the increased conversion of T4 into T3. The high calorie diet also helped patients gain weight, which was...
