    Ocular progesterone administration may treat eye, brain, and mental illness

    A few months ago, I posted a study demonstrating improvement in localized, ocular steroidogenesis by administration of a small amount of niacinamide (as an aqueous solution) directly into the eye. I think user @ecstatichamster may have already tried this himself and I think he even started a...

    Dosage for topical vitamin D

    Hi everyone, It seems that topical dosage for vitamin D (may be even for all the liposoluble vitamins) is even lower that Dr Peat usually recommends ( usually 4 to 5 times the oral dose on skin). http://www.space-age.com/VitaminD-PGCourse.pdf
