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 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 […]

Death from helplessness has been widely observed in animals and people. In one study, wild rats forced to swim until exhaustion lasted for 60 hours before they drowned. Rats that were first held firmly in the investigator’ hand until they stopped struggling, and were then put in the water, swam frantically for about 30 minutes, […]

The drive to resist compulsion is more important to wild animals than sex, food, or water. He [J. L. Kavanau] found that captive white-footed mice spent inordinate time and energy just resisting experimental manipulation. If the experimenters turned the lights up, the mouse spent his time setting them down. If the experimenters turned the lights […]

interfere with PAH activation and/or binding to DNA, thereby reducing the amount of DNA damage done. Rate and accuracy of repair of ultraviolet (UV) light damage to DNA in seven mammalian species’ cultured fibroblasts correlates with maximum species life span. Repair of damage to DNA plays a vital role in retarding aging, although the importance […]

… Spontaneous mutations, cancer, and aging can be looked upon as a result of continuous “internal radiation” while these same processes produced by external radiation are largely the result of an increment in the amount of total “radiation” to which the organism is exposed. —Dr. Denham Harman, originator of the free radical theory of aging […]

Norepinephrine (NE) is another of the brain’s arsenal of neurotransmitters, important in primitive drives and emotions like sex and in memory and learning. When the level of NE in the brain is too low, people become depressed and their immune systems do not function normally. (That’s because NE can cause the brain to release growth […]

BHT has extended the life spans of mice in experiments by Dr. Denham Harman. In some species which have a naturally short life span and tend to die of cancer, the BHT’s life extending effects probably stemmed from its suppression of cancer development. Harman has also demonstrated an increase in average life span with BHT […]

Mutations to your DNA caused by free radicals are a major cause of cancer. Free radicals can make blood clot abnormally in our arteries by destroying our body’s ability to make PGI, (prostacyclin), a natural anti-clot hormone found in healthy arteries. Free radicals are also implicated in arthritis. Most of the brain damage caused by […]
