    More Evidence That Diseases Like ALS Are Mitochondrial

    I have posted before on this topic, including studies that show copper supplementation extends the life of ALS rodent models by boosting activity of cytochrome C. This is the latest development. When Mitochondria Don't Get Moving, Motor Neuron Disease May Develop "...Researchers led by Janet...

    Sodium Is A Good Surrogate / Substitute For Lithium

    Ray has written about the similar chemical properties of lithium and sodium and how sodium should have similar profile to the well-known plethora of lithium benefits but without the toxic side effects of lithium. Since the beneficial and toxic doses of lithium are very close, it is not an easy...

    Ssris Negatively Affect The Brain Within Hours Of Ingestion

    This was kind of shocking to read about, but it should not really be surprising in the context of Peat's work. The culprit for the change in brain structure and functionality is, of course, serotonin. http://time.com/3399997/study-antidepre ... y-quickly/ "...After mapping the connections...

    Overeating By 1,500 Calories Daily May Make You Lose Fat

    The study used healthy subjects and one should be careful when transferring the findings of such studies to the general population. However, it was a human study and the conclusions are well in line with Peat's opinion - caloric restriction for weight loss is bad and eating more (of the right...

    Another large study vindicates salt as a factor in CVD

    Nothing new to member of this forum who know how salt works in the body, however I thought that it adds even more weight to the evidence for the benefits of salt, so decided to post it anyways. http://time.com/3313332/salt-and-blood-pressure/ http://ajh.oxfordjournals.org/content/e ... ajh.hpu164

    Chronic Benzodiazepine Use Linked To Dementia And Alzheimers

    Given how popular the benzos are among the mental health professionals, I wonder if the recent epidemic of various dementias including AD is at least partially due to overusing those drugs. For those that do need an anti-anxiety drug, niacinamide works just like a benzo but protects against (and...

    The Dangers Of Pure T4 (Synthroid) Treatment

    Ray has written about the benefits of dessicated thyroid and the dangers of pure T4. However, for the last several decades researchers like him have been consistently ignored by mainstream medicine and even the venerable Armour changed their formula to mimic better the effects of pure T4...

    Soy has negative effect on breast cancer patients

    Ray has written about the powerful estrogenic effects of soy, so this study does not surprise me but it is the first one I see that draws a conclusion that soy may be contra-indicated for breast cancer. So far all other soy studies claimed that it either prevented cancer or helped survival. A...

    The Low Serotonin Cause Of Depression Is Finally Discredited

    We have know this for a while, but it is nice to see that after thousands of suicides caused by SSRI somebody finally decided enough is enough and used modern medicine's favorite tool (genetics) to discredit the idea that low serotonin is a cause of depression. I think the fact that drugs like...

    Humans mature more slowly because of their big brains

    Ray wrote about the phenomenon of cephalization and how higher order species tend to have bigger and energetically more expensive brains. Apparently, up until recently this was just speculation without much evidence going for it. Now, it appears the evidence has been "found". So, in children the...

    The Cell Is Not A Bag Of Water, It Is An Elastic Gel

    I have been noticing for some time that modern science has been warming up to many of the ideas Peat has been writing about. This latest study coming from Harvard (the bastion of dogma) shows that the model of the cell as bag of randomly moving water is slowly coming to an end. The old model is...

    Osteoporosis Is Caused By Stress And Estrogen

    I was shocked to find this "editorial" in, of all places, the BMJ since it is known as one of the bastions of modern "medicine" (together with NEJM). I hope this is a good sign that not all allopathic doctors are villains. Either way, it makes for a very interesting read and it reads as if Peat...

    The toxins that threaten our brains

    A decent article that reviews some of the substances that Peat talks about, but are considered "good" by mainstream medicine. Fluoride and phosphates are two good examples, but the article covers other common toxins as well. http://www.theatlantic.com/features/arc ... ns/284466/

    Coffee May Prevent Tinnitus

    An Anti-oxidant You Actually Need
