Where are Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw Today?
The two people who in my younger years inspired me (and probably others) to search for immortality are dead. Durk J. Pearson, August 19, 1943 – October 26, 2024 Age 81 is respectable age to die, still… We can try, God decides Hope lives forever…
Is there a sharp difference between good and bad bacteria?
The line between “good” and “bad” bacteria is often not as clear-cut as people think. It depends on the specific bacteria involved and the conditions in which they grow.
What Could Go Wrong? Radioprotective Strategies & How to Mitigate
Radiation DamageIntroduction: Understanding Radiation RisksRadiation exposure, whether from nuclear accidents, medical scans, air travel, or cosmic rays, can damage DNA, increase cancer risk, and accelerate aging. But not all radiation exposure is equal—low doses might be harmless (or even beneficial, as per hormesis), while high doses can be dangerous. This guide covers radioprotective strategies, including:✔…
Radioactivity and Hormesis: Can Low-Dose Radiation Be Beneficial?
Introduction: Understanding Radiation ExposureRadiation is everywhere. We are constantly exposed to natural and man-made sources of radiation, including cosmic rays, medical imaging, and even the potassium in our own bodies. While high doses of radiation are unquestionably harmful, there is an ongoing scientific debate about whether low doses might actually have a beneficial effect—a concept…
Potassium Radioactivity: Is It Dangerous?
Potassium is an essential mineral, but one of its naturally occurring isotopes, potassium-40 (⁴⁰K), is radioactive. This often raises concerns about potential health risks. Let’s break it down scientifically. 1. Why Is Potassium Radioactive?Potassium in nature consists of three isotopes:Potassium-39 (³⁹K) – 93.3% (stable)Potassium-41 (⁴¹K) – 6.7% (stable)Potassium-40 (⁴⁰K) – 0.012% (radioactive)Potassium-40 undergoes slow radioactive…
Potassium and the Potassium/Sodium Ratio: Electrolytes Matter
Potassium (K) and sodium (Na) are two of the most important electrolytes in the body, playing a crucial role in nerve function, muscle contractions, heart health, and fluid balance. However, the balance between these two minerals—the potassium-to-sodium ratio (K/Na ratio)—is just as important as their individual levels. 1. The Importance of PotassiumA. Functions of Potassium…
Creatine Reduces Cancer Risk: NHANES Study
These findings suggest that higher dietary creatine intake may reduce cancer risk in a nationally representative adult population.
Antioxidants for age-related macular degeneration
antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplementation (AREDS: vitamin C, E, beta-carotene, and zinc) probably slows down progression to late AMD.
