    Aspirin May Prevent / Reduce HIV Infection In Humans

    A few years ago, I posted some studies showing that endotoxin is key in the development of AIDS. Those studies also found that without endotoxin, the HIV poses little risk to (healthy) organisms...

    Niacinamide Lowers BP, May Reverse CVD And Reduce Heart Attack Risk By 25%

    This is a human study, so the findings are that much more relevant even though they probably do not come as a surprise to users of this forum. The duration of the study was just 6 weeks and the dose was 500mg nicotinamide riboside (NR) twice a day (for a total of 1,000mg). There were no side...

    Vitamin D Rapidly Reduces Arterial Stiffness In Humans

    As many of you know arterial stiffness is one of the main signs of CVD and contributes significantly to both elevations of blood pressure (BP) and actual ischemic events in brain/heart. According to official guidelines, arterial stiffness cannot be reversed once it sets in, and the only recourse...

    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...

    Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Prevents Suicidal Behavior, Reverses Learned Helplessness

    First, please note that this study is about nitrous oxide (N2O) and not nitric oxide (NO). There is a huge difference in effects despite the minor difference in chemical structure. Peat has written about both - the benefits of the former and the dangers of the latter. N2O is commonly known as...

    Vitamin E May Prevent/treat Asthma

    I think this study is very important simply because currently there are no truly safe treatments for asthma AND the study was conducted on humans. As many forum users have seen on TV ads, virtually all drugs for asthma control increase the risk of death related to asthma. In some cases the onset...

    Higher Intake Of Vitamin E As A Child May Prevent Liver Disease Later On

    I think most people on this forum know about the link between estrogen and liver disease. Peat has written at length about it and there is officially published data spanning more than century showing that (just like "autoimmune" conditions) liver disease has much higher incidence in women, thus...

    Low-dose Aspirin Prevents Hepatitis B Form Turning Into Liver Cancer

    I mentioned in a few other threads that a few companies in the USA are currently running clinical trials with vitamin K2 (MK-4) for prevention and treatment of liver cancer (HCC) as well as prevention and treatment of various blood cancer and meylodysplastic syndrome. One of the most promising...

    Niacinamide May Prevent Melanoma

    About 2 years ago an Australian study hit frontpage news. It found that ingesting 1g niacinamide daily significantly reduced the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers. Vitamin B3 Prevents And Reverses Skin Cancer Now, a new study and a review found that the same dose of niacinamide may work for...

    Niacinamide May Fully Prevent Miscarriages And/or Birth Defects

    I posted recently about the drastic reduction (or even reversal) of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women who took a small dose of aspirin. Aspirin Can Treat Pre-eclampsia Up until that study on aspirin came out, pre-eclampsia was considered untreatable and when a woman develops it usually the only...

    Ketotifen Prevents Skin Aging/wrinkles Due To UV Light

    Meet your new beauty ingredient - ketotifen. UV light exposure is one of the main triggers of visible signs of skin aging and contributes to lipofuscin formation as well. It looks like ketotifen may be able to prevent that damage and given its leukotriene and histamine antagonism it may be a...

    Aspirin (but Not Other NSAID) Treats Barrett’s Esophagus And Possibly GERD

    The good news for aspirin just keep on coming. I posted a few studied in the past about GERD and its progressions Barrett’s esophagus, and esophageal cancer being caused by inflammation and not stomach acid. As such, PPI drugs are probably useless for treating and preventing GERD (since they...

    Famotidine Is A Powerful Anti-serotonin Drug, Can Even Treat Serotonin Syndrome

    I wanted to make this as a separate thread, given how important anti-serotonin chemicals for metabolism and how few of them are available OTC. It looks like our old friend famotidine is a powerful inhibitor of serotonin synthesis in the GI tract, and the mechanism of action is the H2 antagonism...

    Niacinamide Prevents Development Of Diabetes Type I

    Both are human studies. The doses used were not that high either - only 250mg a day in the first study and 1200mg per square meter of body surface area in the second one. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1286017/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16233932/ The second study would equate to...

    Salt Prevents Weight Gain On High Fat Diet

    In yet another confirmation of Ray's ideas, this study shows that mice on a high fat diet did not gain weight when supplemented with the extra amount of 4% salt in their diet. The 4% extra dietary salt is equivalent to about 30g of extra salt for a human per day. Peat said in one of his...
