Male Pattern Baldness and What You Can Do About It III

Inositol, a B vitamin, is a natural sugar known as muscle sugar and is a cell membrane stabilizer and antioxidant which has a protective effect on hair follicles, perhaps by protecting them from membrane damage caused by oxidized cholesterol in the scalp, or from destruction by clock-triggered lysosomes (proteolytic enzymes). Lysosomal membranes are principally comprised […]

Cross-linked Molecules and Aging in Skin, Arteries, and Other Tissues IV

Skin is a visible organ which suffers cross-linking damage. However, unlike other tissues, skin is exposed to considerable ultraviolet light (UV) energy from sunlight. Ultraviolet light is a major cause of skin cross-linking. This type of damage can be prevented or retarded by staying out of sunlight or using sun-block preparations containing esters of PABA […]

Cross-linked Molecules and Aging in Skin, Arteries, and Other Tissues I

Empiricism may serve to accumulate facts, but it will never build science. The experimenter who does not know what he is looking for will not understand what he finds. —Claude Bernard, 1813-1878 When your skin wrinkles, or arteries or bread hardens, or rubber becomes brittle, or old Jell-O® stiffens, we are seeing examples of the […]

Molecules of Life and Life Extension: An Introduction to the Cast II

Most vitamins are soluble in either the watery or the fatty tissues of our bodies, but not in both. Vitamins C and B are water soluble; vitamins A, E, D, and K are fat soluble. Both types of vitamins are necessary for health and long life. We have different storage capacities for different vitamins. For […]

… all diseases may by sure means be prevented or cured, not excepting that of old age, and our lives lengthened at pleasure even beyond the antediluvian standard. —Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to English chemist Joseph Priestley The same molecules that serve us well by keeping us alive and healthy can, if they fail […]
