    Molecules dissolved in vitamin E preferentially target brain injuries

    A fascinating study, confirming Ray's work from decades ago. Namely, that various lipophilic molecules (e.g. steroids) dissolved in vitamin E not only significantly bypass the liver, but are also taken up by organs/tissues in much higher amounts than if those molecules were floating around...

    Cells preferentially accumulate Pregnenolone (P5), Progesterone (P4), and DHEA

    A study not directly dealing with disease, though its findings are probably relevant for all diseases. It demonstrates that in addition to the so-called "active transport", which we have been told is the dominant mechanism in steroid absorption and intracellular relevance, there also exists a...

    Blocking Cystine, And Thus Glutathione (GSH) Synthesis, Kills Cancer Stem Cells

    Yet another study that adds to the evidence that cancer is a metabolic disease, driven by excessive reductive stress. I posted a few other threads on the role of glutathione precursors in cancer, and specifically on the role of cysteine in melanoma. In the body, cysteine gets converted into...

    All Steroids (not Just Unbound/free Ones) Are Bioavailable

    One of the recurring points of contention in Peat's writings that I have not seen addressed yet is his comment on total vs. free hormones and the relevance this has for common blood tests for thyroid and sex hormones. The mainstream medical claim is that only free hormones are capable of...
