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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

GENERAL STAMINA can be greatly increased in a short period of time. For example, calcium pantothenate, the anti stress and life extension vitamin, has been shown to increase total muscular output: (stamina rather than peak output) in frog leg muscles-suspended in a pantothenate solution. Rats taking pantothenate supplements increase their total muscular work output very […]

There does not seem to be anything in the nature of the reproduction of tissue which demands its death. … One cause of senility after another will be found and removed, each resulting in only a minor extension of active life. One cannot help wondering what will happen if the causes are all known and […]

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. […]

Hydergine® (made by Sandoz), a prescription drug, can prevent a considerable amount of the damage caused by free radicals in the brain. It is a very powerful antioxidant. It is useful in older persons who have a degree of cerebral hypoxia (insufficient oxygen), in preventing birth defects resulting from inadequate oxygen to the fetal brain […]

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.

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 […]
