• DHEA levels are known to fall precipitously with age, falling 90%  from age 20 to age 90.
• Although the  specific mechanisms of action for DHEA are only partially understood,  supplemental DHEA has been shown to have anti-aging, anti-obesity and  anti-cancer influences. In addition, it is known to stabilize  nerve-cell growth and is being tested in Alzheimer’s patients.
• “DHEA modulates diabetes,  obesity, carcinogenesis, tumor growth, neurite outgrowth, virus  and bacterial infection, stress, pregnancy, hypertension, collagen  and skin integrity, fatigue, depression, memory and immune  responses.”
• DHEA was abnormally low in women who developed breast cancer, even  as much as nine years prior to the onset or diagnosis of the disease
• In animal studies, DHEA extends rodent lifespans up to 50%
• DHEA levels are directly related to mortality
• DHEA may also be intimately involved in protecting brain neurons  from senility-associated degenerative conditions, like Alzheimer’s  disease. Not only do neuronal degenerative conditions occur most  frequently when DHEA levels are lowest, but brain tissue contains many  times more DHEA than is found in the bloodstream.
• When they were  administered 400 mg of DHEA, all three experienced decreased levels  of 17-alpha-pregnenolone. Pregnenolone levels increased in two patients  and fell in the third. In the two patients experiencing increased  pregnenolone and decreased 17-alpha-pregnenolone in response to DHEA,  levels of 17-alpha-pregnenolone rebounded strongly at 24 hours.  Roberts and Fitten suggest that “a prolonged inhibition of  17-alpha hydroxylation occurred as a result of continued DHEA  intake.”
• DHEA is known to enhance general immune response.
• It is a broad-acting hormone that only  demonstrates itself under a specific set of circumstances. In that  way, it is like a buffer against sudden changes in acidity or alkalinity. That is why when you get older, you’re much more vulnerable to the  effects of stress. As DHEA declines with age, you are losing the buffer  against the stress-related hormones. It is the buffer action that [helps  prevent] us from aging.”

• One common treatment deserves special mention: art therapy. What does art therapy have to do with cancer? Art therapy is symbolic of the attitude of the German clinics. They want the patient to forget about their cancer, be creative and have a positive mental attitude. Psychology is very important to these clinics.

• Extra virgin coconut oil is the fresh milky white semi-solid oil found by extraction either through a centrifuge, cold or expeller pressed. It is
• xtracted from the kernel or meat of matured coconut harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera).
• Mineral oil is an occlusive moisturizer; it leaves a thin film locking in moisture which prevents the skin from breathing. In this case it causes blocked pores, stopping normal respiration by keeping oxygen out.
• The mineral oil traps in the toxins that you would normally excrete from your pores. Your skin will start to starve from this effect and will literally strip, flake or peel when you stop using it (you know when you forget to cream your legs in the morning).
• Resulting in even more dry skin that flakes further or worse, dermatitis (inflammation of the skin like acne or eczema), or hormonal imbalance
• Yep your skin is wrapped in plastic and it cannot breathe!
• Coconut oil a semi occlusive moisturizer that also sits on the surface of your skin but it allows your skin to breathe but it still keeps water from evaporating from the skin’s surface
• Emollient ingredients do more then just protect the surface of the skin with a semi occlusive barrier; they are humectants holding and grabing moisture from the air continuously re-hydrating the skin’s sub dermis layer to protect against dryness; they lubricate the surface of the skin making it soft and smooth.

• Small molecule antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C), tocopherol (vitamin E), uric acid, and glutathione also play important roles as cellular antioxidants.

• The last destination for an electron along this chain is an oxygen molecule. In normal conditions, the oxygen is reduced to produce water; however, in about 0.1–2% of electrons passing through the chain (this number derives from studies in isolated mitochondria, though the exact rate in live organisms is yet to be fully agreed upon), oxygen is instead prematurely and incompletely reduced to give the superoxide radical,·O₂^-, most well documented for Complex I and Complex III. Superoxide is not particularly reactive by itself, but can inactivate specific enzymes or initiate lipid peroxidation in its protonated form, hydroperoxyl HO₂·. The pKa of hydroperoxyl (protonated superoxide) is 4.8. Thus, at physiological pH, the majority will exist as superoxide, (·O₂^-). If too much damage is caused to its mitochondria, a cell undergoes apoptosis or programmed cell death.

   

  Bcl-2 proteins are layered on the surface of the mitochondria, detect damage, and activate a class of proteins called Bax, which punch holes in the mitochondrial membrane, causing cytochrome C to leak out. This cytochrome C binds to Apaf-1, or apoptotic protease activating factor-1, which is free-floating in the cell’s cytoplasm. Using energy from the ATPs in the mitochondrion, the Apaf-1 and cytochrome C bind together to form apoptosomes. The apoptosomes bind to and activate caspase-9, another free-floating protein. The caspase-9 then cleaves the proteins of the mitochondrial membrane, causing it to break down and start a chain reaction of protein denaturation and eventually phagocytosis of the cell.
