    Stress/Injury (mitochondrial dysfunction) sufficient to cause de-differentiation, even cancer

    One of the most pernicious myths in medicine is the "irreversibility" of several cellular processes related to aging, diabetes, fibrosis and, of course, cancer. Perhaps the most fundamental of those processes is cellular differentiation. To this day, the dominant opinion in medicine is that once...

    Mitochondrial dysfunction is a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD)

    At a first glance, mitochondrial dysfunction (a "functional" problem) has little in common with the build-up of plaque on arterial walls (a "structural" problem). However, as my readers know quite well, structure and function cannot be separated and a functional pathology is perfectly capable...

    Blocking PUFA metabolism may treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

    The disease ALS needs no introduction. It is perhaps the most dreaded disease in current/former athletes as it is currently considered incurable, invariably lethal, and is known to strike athletes in much higher rates than the general population. Medicine claims that about 10% of the ALS cases...

    Diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer are bioenergetic diseases; PUFA may be the cause

    The bad news for PUFA (in this case linoleic acid) just keep piling on. At this point, there is hardly a chronic condition out there that has not been linked to elevated PUFA and/or their peroxidation products. The first study below makes the argument that PUFA peroxidation byproducts (created...

    Reductive stress drives pathogenesis and progression of tuberculosis

    I am posting this study b/c it is one of the few I have seen lately demonstrating that even infectious diseases are metabolic in origin. Of course, a pathogen is involved as well, but as it turns out it may not be able to cause an infection by itself. For that to happen, a metabolic dysfunction...

    Antioxidants causing testicular pain?

    Something really strange is going on with my body. I can't tolerate any antioxidants and haven't found anyone else with these symptoms online. Any of the following will cause testicular tightness, shrinkage, burning in groin area (with no other symptoms anywhere else): -Vitamin C (2g and above)...

    Uncoupling metabolism/OXPHOS may treat inflammatory conditions

    In several of his articles and interviews, Peat mentioned that one of the reliable signs/symptoms of low metabolism is the presence of low-grade chronic inflammation. Basically, the cell is stuck into a constant (and futile) repair process as it cannot complete it properly after discovering the...

    How lipolysis may damage organs such as the heart

    It is well-known in endocrinology, and especially among doctors specializing in diabetes, that excessive lipolysis is highly detrimental not only for the overall progression of metabolic diseases like diabetes, but also for most of the organs of the patient. Lipolysis is known to be elevated in...

    Low, Not High, Metabolism Creates Oxidative Stress

    A hugely popular tenet of the "rate of living" theory is that the higher the metabolic rate the more reactive oxygen species (ROS) an organism produces. ROS elevation has already been implicated in a host of chronic disease including diabetes, CVD, cancer, neurological conditions and even mental...

    Increased Fat Oxidation Is The Cause Of Kidney Damage

Peat mentioned in several of his articles and interviews that the kidney damage so commonly seen in both type I and II diabetes patients is due to increased PUFA oxidation and decreased glucose oxidation. He also said that the same mechanism...
