    DMSO, Even At Very Low Doses, Increases Respiration In Brain

    I am posting about DMSO b/c we are considering changing some of solvents in the supplements from oil to DMSO + ethanol. While researching DMSO toxicity, I stumbled upon study showing that DMSO stimulates respiration in the brain in practically all doses (including very low ones)...

    Tryptophan Is Toxic To Brain; Taurine Reverses Toxic Effects

    Ray has written on the negative effects of tryptophan, cysteine and methionine to the overall health and especially the nervous system of an organism. These studies show that tryptophan is toxic even in physiological levels (1mM) and the effect is especially pronounced in the brain. The negative...

    Multiplicity Of Brain Cysteine Sulfinic Acid Decarboxylase — Purification, Characterization And Subu

    http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF02258048 Cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD), the rate-limiting enzyme in taurine biosynthesis, appears to be present in the brain in multiple isoforms. Two distinct forms of CSAD, referred to as CSAD I and CSAD II, were obtained on Sephadex...

    Brain Issues And Loss In Ability To Utilize Sugar

    I know that one of the big issues with brain disorders can be the fact that the brain just cant use sugars/glucose anymore as fuel. so when they switch to fat only diets their brain seems to thrive. now i know such a diet is not good in the long run, but what would one do to restore the...

    Aspirin Actually Lowers Risk Of Bleeding In The Brain

    This should study should be a required reading for all doctors who mindlessly parrot about aspirin and bleeding risks. In fact, the purported brain bleeding has been used the main reason for not recommending preventive aspirin usage for all age groups at risk for degenerative conditions. Btw, I...

    Diet and Human Brain Composition

    Anyone have info about this quote I found, "Approximately 8% of the brain’s weight is comprised of omega-3 fatty acids" - http://www.lef.org/Magazine/2010/8/Omeg ... me/Page-01 I'm wondering if we have data on how much that varies according to dietary intake. "Lipid composition of the normal...

    Electrical Fields, Not Dna, May Shape The Look Of An Organism

    Yet another confirmation of Peat's ideas and a revival of the studies in morphogenetic fields that were all the rage back in the 1920s. It remains to be seen if this will get enough traction to attract funding, but I think it is very promising and very encouraging to see NIH expressing interest...

    Brains Age Less Then Previously Thought

    According to this study most brain aging seems to be related to vascular pathologies and not neuronal death. High estrogen levels are implicated in many vascular pathologies, especially brain. The newest theories on MS are that is caused by leaky brain vessels and not "auto-immune" reactions...

    Biotin Reduces Ammonia Levels In Brain And Blood

    Rat study, but should be applicable to humans as well. Human equivalent dosage is about 20mg of biotin per day, which may seem very high to some. However, it has been shown to be safe in humans for up to a year administration and incidentally this is the dose used in humans to lower cholesterol...

    Yet Again, Brain Inflammation Linked To Depression

    This is the first time I see a scientist propose officially that depression be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. I posted a study showing a human equivalent dosage of 500mg aspirin being a more effective antidepressant (in mice) than Prozac. I think the more important question is if...

    Shellshock Now Recognized As Neurological Damage Caused By Stress

    Ray discussed this issue in one of the recent KMUD interviews and how it relates to brain exhaustion/damage caused by extreme stress. he said that once stress is over "the brain starts to massive regenerate itself" so I am wondering why recovery does not occur in some people. I guess either...

    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...

    Evidence That Ketogenic Diets Cure Brain Disorders

    I am trying to follow Peat, and a lot of it makes sense, but sometimes there is conflicting information. One is the fact that high fat (and essentially zero carb) diets have been used to treat brain disorders/diseases. The author/doctor of the book - Grain Brain has cured brain...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Tofu / Soy Is Toxic To The Brain

    Ray wrote in one of his articles that tofu is associated with dementia. It is likely that it is the tofu's (and all soy products for that matter) highly estrogenic effects that are to blame. There was a study back in 2009 that confirmed Ray's views and this latest (and larger) study adds even...
