    As many of my readers already know, there are a number of human studies, going back to at least the 1960s, demonstrating that supplementation with saturated fats (SFA) protects the liver from damage induced by alcohol. I fact, supplementation with SFA not only prevents alcohol-induced liver...

    Allopregnanolone As A Treatment Of Alzheimer Disease (AD)

    It looks like the recent FDA approval of allopregnanolone (ALLO) for postpartum depression may open the floodgates to ton of new research with this steroid, as well as with its reliable precursors such as pregnenolone and progesterone. I posted several studies in the past demonstrating that...

    (Sometimes) To Do Nothing As Cancer Treatment Is Also Good Medicine

    Just a week ago I made post about a book calling for all but the abolition of the medical system. The evidence for any systemic benefit are just not there, while the evidence for iatrogenic harm and death, as well as astounding financial costs, is abundant...

    Baking Soda May Treat Cancer, Metformin May Cause It

    As many readers know, using baking soda to treat cancer has been labelled as "quack medicine" by many official mouthpieces of mainstream medicine, as well as by several "watchdog" groups. Here are some links "debunking" the usage of baking soda for cancer...

    Vitamin D May Be A Safe, Seizure-minimizing Epilepsy Treatment

    Note that the title is the actual opinion of the study authors, and not my interpretation. The study lasted 12 weeks and used 5,000 IU vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) daily. Beneficial effects on seizures were visible after 6 weeks and were correlated with normalizing vitamin D levels in the...

    Most People Recover From "addiction" On Their Own

    We have discussed the issue of "addiction" many times on this forum. Starting with the "Rat Park" experiment in the 1970s, there have been numerous studies showing that "addiction" is nothing but a desperate attempt at self medication as a way to limit the effects of chronic stress. Addiction...

    The War On Cancer Is A Bust - No Real Progress And Actually A Regress

    Mark Twain often repeated a phrase that virtually everybody knows today - "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics". In the age of epidemiology, Big Data, and the rule of chance/entropy, the 3 components of that phrase have largely merged and now most statistical claims can be safely assumed...

    High-dose Vitamin C Is Making A Comeback As A Treatment For Cancer

    It look like Linus Pauling may have the last laugh after all. The studies below show that high-dose IV therapy with vitamin C dramatically increases survival of several highly lethal cancers (e.g. pancreatic). Even the lead author is in disbelief and says the results are unheard of...

    DHEA As A Cure For Cancer

    A fascinating study, which highlights once again not only the role of one of the "youth" steroids in human health but also demonstrates that the protective/therapeutic mechanisms of DHEA against cancer are due to increase in metabolism and ROS generation. The primary restrictive mechanism on ROS...

    Bile Acid Stimulates Mitochondrial Function, Could Treat Parkinson And Alzheimer's

    I posted a few studied some time ago showing that bile acids increase metabolism but stimulating the synthesis of T3. This increase in metabolism is perhaps the main mechanism behind the ability of "obesity surgery" to provide long-term benefits for the people who undergo the procedure. Aside...

    Death Rate From Alzheimer Disease (AD) Has Risen By 55% In Just 5 Years

    I am surprised this dire statistic even made it to front page news, but hopefully it would give the public some food for thought. The even scarier news buried inside this tragic article is that most of the deaths are due to the so-called "early onset" AD, which strikes people in their 50s, 60s...

    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...
