    A single 15min exposure to red light boosts mitochondria and lowers blood glucose

    A human study, which makes it that much more important. While the findings are not very surprising, what is important to take from the study is that 1) elevated blood glucose is likely a good biomarker of poor mitochondrial function, 2) exposure to just 15min of red light daily can lower blood...

    Diabetic kidney damage driven by high fat & low glucose oxidation, glycine can treat it

    This is yet another study that calls into serious doubt the main dogma of diabetic pathology provided by allopathic medicine. Namely, mainstream medicine claims that the well-known kidney damage occurring in majority of advanced cases of diabetes II is caused by the elevated blood glucose in...

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) may be due to low metabolism / glucose oxidation

    Nothing surprising in the findings of the study, and in fact a great corroboration of the results from the high-dose biotin human study with the aggressive form of MS published several years ago. The officially proposed mechanism of biotin in that study was improved glucose oxidation...

    Blocking prostaglandins restores (glucose) metabolism, reverses brain aging

    It is rare to find a study like the one below that combines so many crucial topics into a unified message. Namely, the role of energy in aging and disease, the role of oxidative glucose metabolism in aging and health, the pathological role of PUFA as a negative (glucose) metabolic regulator and...

    Reduced availability/oxidation of glucose sufficient to cause heart failure (HF)

    Yet another "mysterious" idiopathic condition turns out to be nothing but metabolic dysregulation in disguise. Also, unlike many other studies implicating metabolism in disease, this one actually manages to demonstrate that reduction of oxidative glucose metabolism is sufficient to cause severe...

    A human case study, corroborated by the literature review done by the authors, suggesting that yet another degenerative and invariably lethal condition may be nothing more than energetic deficiency in disguise. The literature review the authors performed revealed that ALS patients, as well as...

    Vitamin B1 as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

    After decades of denial that AD is a metabolic condition, Big Pharma and Big Govt, are silently doing an 180-degree turn by secretly funding university clinical trials for metabolic interventions in that disease. The study below will evaluate the effects of benfotiamine - a lipophilic analog of...

    Niacinamide increases ATP/NAD, lower glucose/cortisol in humans

    A great new study demonstrating for the first time in a human experiment what hundreds of animal studies had suggested in the past. Namely, that niacinamide can serve as a reliable precursor to NAD+ and by raising the NAD/NADH ratio results in improved glucose metabolism and higher ATP levels...

    Glucose as a Major Antioxidant: When, What for and Why It Fails?

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7070274 Abstract A human organism depends on stable glucose blood levels in order to maintain its metabolic needs. Glucose is considered to be the most important energy source, and glycolysis is postulated as a backbone pathway. However, when the...

    Epilepsy/seizures caused by energetic deficit leading to calcium overload

    Muscles starve/waste in the absence of vitamin D

    As turns out, yet again, vitamin D is far from being the simple "bone vitamin" as most TV/online commercials would have us believe. It is actually a (seco)steroid and has already been implicated in a host of metabolic and immune process affecting virtually every disease. Recently, I posted a few...

    A remarkable study, that for some reason is not being covered by mainstream media. Considering 99% of the clinical trials for AD since 2000 have completely failed, this study should be front-page news for most mainstream outlets. I suspect mainstream media, being literally owned by the same...

    Low energy production (glucose metabolism) may cause andropause

    As many of my readers know, aging men can also experience the equivalent of menopause and doctors informally call that state "andropause". Its official name is age-related hypogonadism and most of that hypogonadism is of the "secondary" type - i.e. the gonads appears to be in fine shape but for...
