ROS (elevated by fat oxidation) drive immune dysfunction in cancer; vitamin E may help
Yet another study demonstrating that metabolism controls an aspect of physiology so far considered largely independent of…
Reactive oxygen species, derived mostly from fat oxidation, drive cancer growth/metastases
In several of the interviews with Dr. Mercola, we touched upon the role of reactive oxygen species…
Chronic use of anti-anxiety drugs (benzodiazepines) leads to “oxidative” stress and inflammation
A few studies that came out recently suggested that chronic use of benzodiazepine drugs (benzos) such as…

One of my readers sent this article via email. In all honesty, I did not expect that…
Increased fat oxidation (FAO) sufficient to cause senescence/aging/disease
A very interesting study, and one of the few that I have seen openly acknowledge the existence…
Lactate damages mitochondria and can cause (pulmonary) fibrosis
In the first half of the 20th century lactate had a largely negative reputation in medical circles…
Stress/Injury (mitochondrial dysfunction) sufficient to cause de-differentiation, even cancer
One of the most pernicious myths in medicine is the “irreversibility” of several cellular processes related to…
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
At a first glance, mitochondrial dysfunction (a “functional” problem) has little in common with the build-up of…
Blocking PUFA metabolism may treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
The disease ALS needs no introduction. It is perhaps the most dreaded disease in current/former athletes as…
