Skin appearance can be markedly improved by using Na-PCA, the sodium salt of 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid, the principal natural humectant (moisturizer) in your skin. The ability of skin to hold moisture is directly related to its Na-PCA content. The ability of Na-PCA to pull water out of the air is amazing. If you put out a […]

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 […]

The body has natural processes by which it removes lipofuscin from cells, involving detergent-like compounds. However, the rate of removal falls farther and farther behind the rate of accumulation. (Even a 3-month-old fetus may have some lipofuscin in some of its nerve cells!) The cholinergic drugs Deaner® and centrophenoxine have been experimentally shown in animals […]

Recently a new drug was added to the pharmacopoeia of memory-improving drugs: vasopressin. Vasopressin is a natural pituitary-gland hormone which is best known for its regulation of urine volume. It is approved by the FDA for treating diabetes insipidus, a condition of frequent urination (not related to insulin-sugar diabetes) caused by inadequate quantities of vasopressin. […]

Everyone is familiar with the so-called “annual” plants which live only a few months, from the time when they sprout, until, after the production of seed, death comes to them naturally. … Natural death can be postponed if the plant be prevented from seeding. —Elie Metchnikoff, The Prolongation of Life (1908) Do DNA genetic clocks […]

Deaner® is a prescription drug which is available in the United States. We have observed 300 milligrams per day of Deaner® remove all visible lipofuscin age pigment (liver spots) from the skin of a man in his mid-60s. After a few months, his age spots had faded appreciably and were completely gone in about two […]

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 […]
