    A Subset Of Diabetes I Can Be Cured By Vitamin B1 (thiamine)

    I don't know much about this apparently genetic form of neonatal diabetes I, but looking at the mutation in question I do not see how it related to thiamine at all, yet thiamine is therapeutic. So, the question that naturally arises is - can thiamine potentially help all cases of diabetes I...

    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...

    Low-dose Aspirin As Treatment For Kidney Disease / Failure

    Just wanted to post here as diabetes is perhaps the most common chronic disease in the world and many diabetes sufferers have kidney disease, which is considered irreversible. However, as this clinical trial states (and as Peat said as well), the kidney damage seems to be due to inflammation...

    Analgesic Effect Of Methylene Blue

    I came accross an article written by Paul Ehrlich and Arthur Leppmann called "Über schmerzstillende Wirkung des Methylenblau." published in 1890 in the Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift. This was a couple of years before Aspirin came on the market. The researchers tested methylene blue on...

    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...

    Breast Cancer Screening Useless, A Third Of Women Get Treated For Harmless Cancers

    Ray wrote in a recent newsletter of his about the Appalachian cancer "paradox" - i.e. women living in that region who have breast cancer have much higher survival rate and longer lifespan than women in the rest of the country despite the extreme poverty in the region. In Ray's words, this...

    Caffeine Protects Against Dementia (AD), ALS, Parkinson, And Huntington Disease

    The link between caffeine intake and lower risk of neurodegenerative conditions has been established before but the mechanism of action was unknown. This study discovered one possible mechanism and also confirmed the associative findings in vivo using a mouse model. The HED was 150mg - 300mg...

    Magnesium As Possible Treatment For Tinnitus

    There have been very few studies in successful treatments of tinnitus. Taurine and phospholipids are the two most commonly discussed OTC remedies that have some evidence behind them. This study adds magnesium as another possible option. More importantly it implicates the NMDA receptor as...

    Aspirin As A Cure For Sepsis

    If the truly wonder-drug properties of aspirin were considered lacking by some medical authorities, now we can add curing sepsis to that list. Sepsis is the leading cause of death in hospitalized patients, regardless of age, condition, treatment, etc. It is largely considered a lost cause once...

    B Vitamins Help Schizophrenia

    While this was a meta study it is still significant because it looked at quite a few OTC supplements and found only the B-family of vitamins to have a positive effect. The effects of vitamin and mineral supplementation on symptoms of schizophrenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis |...

    Cancer Addiction To Fat Confirmed; Niacinamide As Possible Treatment

    This is the latest of a number of studies over the last year or so that point the finger at fat (and not sugar) as the primary factor in tumor growth. I posted a few studies in the past showing that tumor cells are highly dependent on fat for growth and proliferation, and a number of...

    Niacinamide Can Cure Liver (and Maybe Pancreatic) Cancer

    This study shows that depletion of NAD is a direct cause of the so-called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is the most common type of liver cancer. People with HCC often develop metastases in the pancreas and in advanced stages, the condition is indistinguishable from pancreatic cancer...

    Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) Can Treat Pre-eclampsia

    The study used both rodent model but the scientists are confident the results fully apply to humans. The rodent model was used to test niacinaide as an actual treatment for pre-eclampsia, not as prevention. The next step is to conduct a human-only trial with niacinamide as a treatment of the...

    Natural Progesterone Treats Breast Cancer, Synthetic Progestins Promote It

    I think as early as the 1980s Ray was already writing about the beneficial effects of progesterone for breast cancer and the negative effects of synthetic progestins (most of which are actually 19-nortestosterone derivatives). The pharma industry published fraudulent studies with which to...

    Vitamin D And Taurine As Actual Treatment For Many Cancers

    This study is a bit on the wild side in terms of effectiveness claims but it made it through peer reviews so I decided that it is worth posting. It also provides recommendations on optimal doses of these supplements commonly discussed on the forum. Apparently, the optimal dose of vitamin D is...

    Systemic Sclerosis (scleroderma) May Be Due To Endotoxin; Blocking TLR4 Can Treat It

    In a recent interview Peat explained the connection between endotoxin, hypothyroidism, and rheumatoid arthritis. I recently posted a study claiming that chronic activation of the endotoxin receptor TLR4 synergizes greatly with iron and is probably a causative factor in many degenerative...

    Demyelinating Conditions Like MS Can Be Treated By Androgens

    Ray wrote quite a bit on the topic of estrogen as a causative factor in demyelination and progesterone / pregnenolone as remyelinating agents. I posted an animal study recently on using DHT to completely reverse the pathology of the MS that model...

    Low-dose Glycine As Stroke Treatment In Humans

    The mainstream therapy for (non-hemorrhaging) stroke is a IV anticoagulants like warfarin, or a baby aspirin within the first few hours of getting stroke symptoms while the person is on her/his way to the hospital. These two studies show that sublingual glycine in a dose of 1g-2g within the...

    Niacinamide Reverses / Cures Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

    It is well known even in mainstream medical circles that autoimmune conditions are characterized by greatly reduced levels of NAD. I posted a few studies in the past showing that raising NAD levels through supplementation of niacinamide can help virtually any autoimmune condition. This study...

    Vitamin D May Be Therapeutic Against Liver Fibrosis And Liver Cancer

    I posted a few threads on vitamin D and how it may help treat endotoxin-related condition, especially ones affecting the liver. Vitamin D Is Endotoxin (LPS / TLR4) Antagonist, May Treat LPS-linked Conditions Endotoxin is perhaps the primary driver of actual liver fibrosis, which (if left...
