Inosine directly binds and blocks the endotoxin/LPS receptor (TLR4)
Inosine is an endogenous purine and a breakdown product of ATP. Elevated inosine levels are observed in…
Elevated cortisol/DHEA-S ratio (a sign of chronic stress or low metabolism) may drive Alzheimer Disease (AD)
As my readers know, from both Ray work and mine, cortisol has a proven detrimental role in…
Elevated extracellular serotonin (5-HT), not dopamine, drives compulsive sexual behavior (CSBD)
Yet another study showing that mainstream medicine’s claims about the origins of a mental health condition are…
Keto diets may drop some weight, but cause hyperlipidemia, liver/heart disease, and even diabetes type I
This is probably one of the most controversial posts I have made in a long time. It…

One of those articles that fully corroborates Ray’s views that metabolism is central not only to “function”,…
Age-related inflammation driven by declining mitochondrial function; menopause likely reversible
Yet another study demonstrating the key role metabolism plays in aspects of health firmly considered by medicine…
Endotoxin/LPS, even in tiny amounts, is the most inflammatory component of air pollution
Several years ago, I did a post on a study that looked at the COVID pandemic measures…
Endotoxin/LPS is a major driver of blood clotting, sepsis, heart attacks and strokes
The issue of blood clotting and what exactly triggers it (even in healthy people) remains a “mystery”…
Low-carb diet and chronic (even mild) stress sufficient to cause heart disease (CVD) and depression
I first tried low-carbing, circa 2008, and quickly realized just how detrimental it is to health, especially…
A reductive state (high GSH, NAC, NADH/NAD+ ratio, etc), activates the cortisol/estrogen pathways; oxidizing/ pro-metabolic agents block them
Ray mentioned in a few of his articles that a reductive state, characterized by a buildup of…
