“Imagine a drug that improves sleep, reduces stress, sharpens focus, and boosts mood—without cost or side effects. That "drug" is light. Natural light is more than just illumination; it's a potent regulator of our body's internal clock, driving critical processes like hormone release and sleep-wake cycles.”

“Vitamin D has been found to speed up the clearance of tuberculosis bacteria from the lungs of people with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials).”

“High doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like ibuprofen for 8 weeks inhibit muscle growth by 2-fold in young, healthy individuals. The high dose of NSAID was 1,200 mg of ibuprofen and one a relatively low dose (75 mg acetylsalicylic acid) every day for eight weeks.”

“DNA damage at telomeres drives senescence in cardiac cells. Removing senescent cardiac muscle cells from the hearts of aged mice, both genetically and using drugs, reduces hypertrophy and fibrosis in aged hearts and restores cardiac health.”

“The stem cell migrates to the cancer cell in order to repair the damage. If these stem cells are engineered to deliver a drug that can kill the tumor, it is a highly specific way of only selectively killing the tumor cells without damaging normal cells.”

“Treated mice also showed statistically significant increases in memory retention. In another mouse study, DNP treatment substantially improved resistance to a seizure-inducing drug, with a greater than 50 percent reduction in total time experiencing seizures.”

“However, a few studies have suggested that creatine supplementation may be best as a preventive agent rather than a therapeutic, or it may have additive effects when used in combination with other drugs.”

“Illustrative of the functional importance of omega-3 DHA in the healthy maintenance of the blood-brain barrier, blocking the transport of DHA has been investigated in the lab as a drug action that temporarily permeabilizing the brain-brain barrier for specialized purpose (e.g., enhancing brain drug delivery of chemotherapeutics).”
