COVID-19 is an energy deficiency disease
Yet another seemingly non-metabolic disease turns out to be nothing but energy deficiency in disguise. Apparently, the…
Loss of mitochondrial function (OXPHOS) induces de-differentiation (cancer)
The study only focuses on the lymphatic system and its cells, but the principle is general and…
Muscle weakness / wasting linked to poor mitochondrial function
A study that once again illustrates the central principle of bioenergetics – structure and function cannot be…
Vitamin D deficiency impairs muscles by lowering energy production
Perhaps this study below will put some of the arguments against vitamin D supplementation to rest. It…
Inhibiting respiration/metabolism reliably causes bipolar disorder
Just a quick post on a study, which claims to have established a reliable method for inducing…
Reduced pyruvate and/or increased lactate drive heart failure
I just did a post on the role of reduced glucose metabolism, lower pyruvate/NAM/NAD and elevated lactate…
Glaucoma likely a metabolic disease, treatable by pyruvate and/or niacinamide
About a year ago, a publication came out that demonstrated therapeutic effects of raising the (mitochondrial) NAD/NADH…
Niacinamide may treat ALS by improving energetic state
Another study sent to me by the Austrian collaborator. Once again, the energetic origin of “incurable” diseases…
Low, not high, metabolism creates oxidative stress
A hugely popular tenet of the “rate of living” theory is that the higher the metabolic rate…
Low metabolism, cellular debris may cause Huntington Disease (HD)
Yet another study demonstrating the crucial role of oxidative metabolism (OXPHOS) in a chronic degenerative condition considered…
