There are several prescription drugs that protect against serotonin excess, but thyroid and gelatin (or glycine, as in magnesium glycinate) are protective against the serotonin and melatonin toxicities. Copper and magnesium deficiencies predispose to retinal damage. Red light is protective, blue light (or u.v.) is harmful, so wearing orange lenses would be helpful. Progesterone and pregnenolone, by reducing the stress reactions, should be helpful--in the eye diseases of infancy and old age, as they are in the respiratory distress syndromes." -Ray Peat

“Many bioactive compounds present in maple syrup have neuroprotective activity and, thus, can prevent the pathogenesis of age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Maple syrup compounds have been found to exert anti-aging activities by reducing the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

Regarding Alzheimer's disease, evidence indicates that maple syrup extracts prevent the aggregation of β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau peptides, which are two pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.

Glycosylated and aglycone phenolic compounds derived from maple syrup extracts are known to have antimutagenic activity. Different phenolic compounds of maple syrup, such as gallic acid, catechol, catechaldehyde, syringaldehyde, vanillin, and 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, are known to have antimicrobial activities against Gram-negative bacteria.”

Is maple syrup the ultimate natural sweetener? Researchers say it's more than just tasty!

Scientists explore the myriad benefits of maple syrup, revealing its nutritional, pharmacological, and sensory advantages over traditional sweeteners. From antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to controlling blood sugar and even potential anticancer effects, maple syrup is more than just...

“Aphrodisiacs are foods or supplements that help boost your libido. Studies have shown that saffron may have aphrodisiac properties — especially in people taking antidepressants.

For instance, taking 30 mg of saffron daily over 4 weeks significantly improved erectile function over a placebo in men with antidepressant-related erectile dysfunction (17Trusted Source).

Additionally, an analysis of six studies showed that taking saffron significantly improved erectile function, libido, and overall satisfaction but not semen characteristics (18Trusted Source).

In women with low sexual desire due to taking antidepressants, 30 mg of saffron daily over 4 weeks reduced sex-related pain and increased sexual desire and lubrication, compared with a placebo (19Trusted Source).”

“Once ingested, phytic acid forms insoluble compounds with minerals, proteins, enzymes, and starches. This impairs the absorption of proteins and minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. [15]

Deficiencies in these minerals can result in health problems including:

• Anemia [16] [17]
• Fatigue [18] [19]
• Weakness [20] [21]
• Memory and concentration problems [22]
• Hair loss [23]
• Loss of appetite [24] [25]
• Nausea [26]
• Vomiting [27]
• Low bone mass [28]
• Impotency in men [29]
• Reduced immune function [30]”

Phytic Acid: Everything You Need to Know

Phytic acid is an antinutrient found in many plants. When consumed it can prevent absorption of nutrients and inhibit digestive enzymes.

“Cacao is the richest source of theobromine on the planet and the inspiration for the name theobromine itself. This naturally occurring compound was first discovered in 1841 and given its name in honor of the cacao tree, coined Theobroma cacao, a term derived from Greek that translates as “food of the gods.”

A gentle stimulant, theobromine is closely related to caffeine, but it won’t give you the same jitters or inevitable energy crash. Theobromine can improve cognitive function, enhance performance, boost mood, and promote overall cardiovascular health. Read more about chocolate’s many other psychoactive compounds here.”

“This is very concerning as it corroborates the intuitive drive of people to avoid chronically (non-infectious) sick individuals due to fear of the disease somehow transferring onto the healthy companion. This phenomenon has been observed for at least a century and it is well-known that nurses in wards with chronically ill people tend to come down with the same condition their patients have/had. Being physically close (and/or intimate) to the sick person makes it even more dangerous as mitochondrial DNA is present in bodily fluids, so activities such as kissing and sexual intercourse, or even just skin touch can transfer the mitochondrial debris from the sick person to the healthy one. Evidence for such horizontal DNA transfer already exists in humans and it is collectively known under the term of microchimerism. So, chronic stress experienced by even a fraction of the population of a country can potentially have detrimental health effects on the entire country through the so-called "bystander effect". And it is not just PD that the findings of the study apply to - i.e. other recent studies have implicated endotoxin/LPS and the TLR family of receptors in Alzheimer Dieases (AD), Huntington Disease (HD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and even the infectious-related Mad Cow Disease could easily be caused by chronic activation of the TLR receptor family.”

“In other words, what we call the "flu" may be nothing more than a symptom of PUFA overload, and the degree of that overload determines the course of the viral infection. This finding matches the common observation that children - who have much lower PUFA stores than adults - get the flu (and other viral infections) much less often than adults and when they do get sick their disease course is almost always milder, which translates to lower mortality as well. Thus, the study directly suggests that the focus of public health authorities should not be on any specific viral pathogen or a vaccine for it, but on the food supply chain and availability of cheap, safe drugs that reduce prostaglandin synthesis.”

“Human participants, including 69 with Alzheimer's disease and 64 healthy controls, donated blood for research, with some from each group also providing gut microbiota via stool samples.


Gut microbiota from Alzheimer's patients was transplanted into 16 young adult rats whose microbiomes had been depleted by antibiotics for a week. A matching group of 16 rats received gut microbiota from humans in the healthy control group.

At least 10 days after the transplants, the rats were subjected to behavioral tests designed to evaluate memory performance as well as other traits associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Rats that had microbiome transplants from Alzheimer's patients showed impaired memory behaviors, particularly those that rely on a process called adult hippocampal neurogenesis.


Hippocampal neurogenesis creates new neurons in the hippocampus, a region of our brains that's important for memory and mood, and one of the first areas impacted by Alzheimer's.”

The role of the gut microbiome in causing Alzheimer's disease has finally been confirmed.

“In white hair, the amount of tryptophan is higher than in hair of any other color. Although serotonin and tryptophan are very important during rapid growth, their presence in senile tissues is probably closely associated with the processes of decline. The hair loss that occurs in hypothyroidism, postpartum syndrome, and with the use of drugs such as St. John's wort (which can also cause the “serotonin syndrome”) could be another effect of excess serotonin.” -Ray Peat

In cell culture, DHEA can cause changes in glial cells resembling those seen in the aging brain. These observations suggest that DHEA should be used with caution. Supplements of pregnenolone and thyroid seem to be the safest way to optimize DHEA production.” -Ray Peat
