    DHEA causes fat-loss and improved glucose metabolism in humans

    Another study corroborating the role of DHEA as one of the "youth" hormones. A recent study already demonstrated that DHEA can reverse aging of the human immune system, which usually goes hand in hand with lower cortisol and improved metabolism. The proven anti-cortisol effects of DHEA are...

    Red Light Therapy For Parkinson Disease (PD) Begins Human Trials

    A few weeks ago, I posted about a human study demonstrating reversal of age-related vision decline by staring at a red light for just a few minutes a day. The mechanism of action proposed in that study had to do with improved mitochondrial function and energy production. Now, it seems another...

    Niacinamide (vitamin B3) May Cure HIV (human Study)

    The title of the post sounds a bit too good to be true but this is basically what the case study claims and is also reported by the mouthpiece of Big Pharma - the Science Magazine. So, little by little the truth comes out, which is always good news. The only bad news in this case is that the...

    Gorillas Have Developed Human-like "societies" That Are Not Based On Kin

    One of the central dogmas in biology is that any large number of animals behaving as a group in deliberate manner, spanning multiple generations, is invariably based on kin. The dogma argues that this is the only way individual survival and procreation can take a back stage to the interests of...

    People Can Sense The Earth's Magnetic Field, Just Like Animals

    A rather groundbreaking study, which not only shows our brains are much more mysterious than "neuroscience" with its primitive digital models would have us believe, but also raises very troubling questions about the effects of EMF pollution has on our brains and health. Animals which are known...

    Androsterone May Be The Main Source Of DHT, Drives Fetal Masculinization

    The study below demonstrates that not only may androsterone be the primary pro-hormone used endogenously for DHT synthesis, it likely also drives the masculinization of sexual organs in the fetus. For a long time it was thought that the so-called "front pathway" using testosterone (T) produced...

    Pregnenolone Advances As A Treatment For Loneliness In Humans

    A few years ago, I posted a thread on the possibility of using pregnenolone as a treatment for loneliness in humans. Pregnenolone As A Treatment For Loneliness At the time, the studies were mostly based on animal models and a small pilot human study. It seems that the results were promising...

    Every Year, A Penguin Swims Thousands Of Miles To Visit A Man Who Saved Him

    I really liked this story, not only for its feel-good effect, but because it once again illustrates just how intelligent and human-like animals can be. Not to mention that swimming several thousand miles every year, just to be with the person who saved him, flies in the face of all current...

    Heat Therapy Restores Mitochondrial Function In Human Muscles

    A really cool study, and I think the reported effects would have been even more impressive if instead of diathermy the scientists used a simple incandescent red bulb to both heat the muscle and expose it to red light. Maybe somebody can email them and suggest this as a follow up study... Heat...

    Doxycycline Effective In Human Trial For Breast Cancer

    It seems that medicine is finally starting to wake up from its slumber that has now lasted almost a century. I posted a few other studies on the effects of antibiotics used as cancer treatment. Those older studies also used doxycycline but other antibiotics from the same group like tetracyline...

    There Is Probably No Limit To Human Lifespan

    The current ruling dogma in medicine is that human longevity is most likely genetically determined, and seems to be capped at about 125 years. The main arguments given in favor if this hypothesis are the apparently exponentially rising odds of dying with increasing age and the fact that no...

    Brains Can Be Kept Alive Without A Head/body, Possibly Indefinitely

    Despite the freakishness of the research and the ethical questions it raises, the study below is yet another example of the direction of research the medical profession is pursuing - the ability to turn humans and human consciousness into a "person in a box", which can be readily transplanted on...

    New Human Trial With An NAD Precursor

    I just wanted to post this here, as it seems interest in raising NAD is high among pharma companies. While nicotinamide riboside is the most popular precursor used in the Western world, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is another one that has been used clinically. This clinical trial below...

    Just 20g Stearic Acid Daily Improves Cardiovascular Health In Human Males

    Despite FDA's recent reversal of public policy on dietary cholesterol, there is still no reversal of its position on saturated fats being detrimental to health. This despite the fact that the same study on which the FDA based its reversal of position on cholesterol also called for ending the war...

    Cells From Dead Bodies Stay Alive And Functional For More Than 2 Weeks

    I mentioned on a few of Danny Roddy's shows about the current experiments with so-called "suspended animation". Suspended animation - Wikipedia Those experiments proved that an organism can be made completely dead (legally speaking) with no heartbeat, no brain activity and no organ function...

    Thiamine Treats Cancer In Humans, Its Deficiency May Cause Cancer

    Some time ago, I posted a study by Otto Warburg himself showing that thiamine deficiency immediately activates the "cancer metabolism". Deficiency Of Vitamin B1 (thiamine) Can Cause The Cancer Metabolism More recent studies have found that majority of cancer patients have thiamine deficiency...

    Loneliness Is The Real Cause Of Selfishness

    ...and vice versa. I have suspected for a very long time that pathologically selfish people may have a mental disorder of some sort or at least be under some kind of environmental pressure to develop such extreme behavior. Now, this new study says that selfishness may simply be a...

    New Human Study With Pregnenolone For Treating Autism

    It is to be held at Stanford University and is set to last 14 weeks. No word on dosing but the explanation is that downstream metabolites of pregnenolone are inhibitory in the CNS and can balance the excessive neuroexcitation that is a feature of autism. Given that serotonin is the likely main...

    Vitamin D May Be A Viable Therapy For Autism (human Study)

    This is one of the rare human studies using direct intervention for autism. As you can see, there was significant improvement in symptoms with a dose of 300 IU / kg of bodyweight, given daily for 4 months. In addition to the pro-metabolic effects of vitamin D, it is also a known inhibitor of TPH...

    Theanine May Treat Depression In Humans

    It is a human study, and it used a relatively low dose theanine - only 250mg daily for 8 weeks. Theanine improved virtually all symptoms including actual symptoms of depression, anxiety, and cognitive function. I wonder what would double that dose have achieved given the study I posted about...
