Also see: Thyroid peroxidase activity is inhibited by amino acids Gelatin, Glycine, and Metabolism Gelatin > Whey The selection of proteins should minimize the amino acids tryptophan (which is the precursor of serotonin) and cysteine (which, like tryptophan, suppresses thyroid function, by including gelatin and fruits. Gelatin is 22% glycine, which protects the lungs and [...]

Endotoxin and Behavior

Jun 26, 2012 // by Team FPS // behavior, depression, endotoxin, General, immunity, lipopolysaccharides // Comments Off

Brain Behav Immun. 2006 Nov;20(6):517-26. Epub 2006 May 2. Immunity and emotions: lipopolysaccharide increases defensive behaviours and potentiates despair in mice. Many studies have pointed out the relationships between immunity and depression, supporting a neuroimmune hypothesis of depressive disorders. However, despite the growing interest for such a hypothesis and the amount of clinical and experimental [...]

Bowel Toxins Accelerate Aging

The gerontologist, V.V. Frolkis, recently found that mice lived 43% longer than animals on the standard diet when they periodically had activated charcoal added to their food. This is the clearest evidence I have seen that “bowel toxins” make a major contribution to the aging process. -Ray Peat, PhD Biomater Artif Cells Artif Organs. 1989;17(3):341-51. [...]

“Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency” – Resistance to Trauma/Stress/Shock

Adv Shock Res. 1981;6:93-105. Essential fatty acid deficient rats: a new model for evaluating arachidonate metabolism in shock. Cook JA, Wise WC, Knapp DR, Halushka PV. Essential fatty acid deficient (EFAD) rats are significantly more resistant to the lethal effects of S. enteritidis endotoxin (20 mg/kg, IV) than normal control rats. Compared to endotoxin-treated normal [...]

Nutrition and cancer. 1998. v. 31 (1) Dietary lignin, an insoluble fiber, enhanced uterine cancer but did not influence mammary cancer induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea in rats. Previous investigations suggested potential breast cancer-preventive properties of dietary fiber from cabbage. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether lignin, a component of cabbage fiber, would [...]

Low Blood Cholesterol Compromises Immune Function

by Barry Groves http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/immunity3.html There is a substantial amount of evidence that relatively low cholesterol levels in apparently healthy individuals is associated with increased subsequent mortality from cancer. It is also associated with other, non-heart related deaths. A group at the Center for Clinical Pharmacology, University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, tested whether the effectiveness of their [...]

What you know about Emodin?

The anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes, anti-metabolic syndrome, anti-tumor, and anti-endotoxin effects of emodin are explored. Emodin enhances antitumor effect of gemcitabine in model of SW1990 cell xenograft on athymic mouse. Emodin can significantly improve the antitumor effect of gemcitabine on transplanted tumor of SW1990 cell line through apparently enhancing the tumor cell apoptosis by gemcitabine. Downregulation of [...]
