There are several nutrients and prescription drugs which cause GH release. These include the amino acids arginine and ornithine and the prescription drugs L-Dopa (another amino acid), bromocriptine (Parlodel®, by Sandoz), and vasopressin (Diapid®, Sandoz nasal spray). In one study, 1/2 gram per day of L-Dopa increased the growth hormone output of men in their […]

In order to increase stamina with citric acid cycle food acids, doses of a few grams to several grams are required. The compounds are water soluble and, therefore, are excreted rapidly from the body. In our personal experiments, we have taken them every three or four hours for the duration of the athletic performance. » […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
The mind so strongly depends on temperament and the disposition of bodily organs, that if it is possible to find some means which will make men generally more wise and more clever than they have been till now, I believe that it is in medicine one should seek it. . . . It is true […]
Let’s think about the effects of aging on OUR APPEARANCE. Under natural conditions, the skin shows age in a variety of unattractive ways, including wrinkling and loss of resiliency, both due to the damage mechanism called crosslinking. Cross-linking is the process in which proteins are linked together by bonds which prevent them from functioning properly. […]

Catecholamines are responsible for a number of different effects in normal humans. They are involved in control of locomotor (moving about) behavior, aggressive behavior, sexual behavior, food intake, and behavior dependent upon positive (reward) and negative (punishment) reinforcement. Acetylcholine controls muscle tone and motor activity and has a role in memory, learning, and long-term planning, […]

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 […]
