One fact about the future of which we can be certain is that it will be utterly fantastic. —Arthur C. Clarke, science-fiction author You don’t just want to feel younger, you want to look younger too. So do we. In this post, we tell you how you can slow down the wrinkling of your skin […]
For sexual performance, stamina can be increased by taking certain nutrients, including calcium pantothenate (vitamin B-5). Vasopressin, or antidiuretic hormone (ADH), has several known functions, including regulation of electrolytes, and urine volume and in very high intravenous doses, blood pressure. In low dosages (16 I.U. per day), it has been shown to stimulate memory and […]
The dangers of birth control pill use have been grossly exaggerated. Note in the figure below that the mortality associated with birth control pills is lower than the mortality associated with the use of no birth control at all ages except for smokers over the age of 40. Up to the age of 30, risks […]
Without such treatment, many—probably most—post-menopausal women will experience pain, burning, and soreness during intercourse, particularly if it is prolonged or frequent. (A small percentage of premenopausal women also suffer from this problem.) In our limited experience, the following topical formulation works well: 1/2 to 1 percent testosterone cypionate plus 0.1 percent estradiol dipropionate in any […]
The prescription drug Deaner® and the nutrients choline and lecithin increase brain levels of acetylcholine, which also may stimulate sexual activity. Such sexual stimulation is rarely seen in people in their teens or 20s but is a fairly common reaction to these substances after the age of 40. Acetylcholine is also a chemical transmitter that […]
In spring a young squirrel’s fancy turns because the days are getting longer, and exposure to longer light periods sets off a chain reaction involving the brain and pituitary gland, resulting in release of hormones that affect sex hormone levels and in turn cause the sex glands to enlarge and produce their sex hormones. —Joseph […]
If you feel you cannot get to sleep without a sleeping pill (assuming you cannot find tryptophan), you might want to try taking 4 the normal nightly sleeping pill dose in conjunction with swallowing one to three 1-milligram tablets of Hydergine®, for which you would need a prescription from your doctor. The total effect has […]
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which has important inhibitory functions in the brain, to prevent excess nervous stimulation at night so that sleep can occur. It is also a growth hormone releaser. Old people do not make as much serotonin as younger people. This is an important part of aging problems in sleep patterns. What can […]
Science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them. —Charles Darwin Sleep is a complex state controlled by a number of different brain chemicals. In aged individuals, these brain chemicals may not be made in as great a quantity as in youth. Brain cells may become less sensitive […]
A deficiency of acetylcholine, another neurotransmitter, can also lead to depression. Deaner®, a prescription drug, increases acetylcholine levels in the brain. It is both an active analogue and a precursor of acetylcholine and is effective in many old people as an antidepressive—it reduces apathy and increases motivation, as well as improving memory and learning in […]
