Happy Halloween. Here’s spooky October nutrition notes. See past newsletters here
SHORT NOTES
Reader comment: i remember when you discovered Mito-C for protein misfolding and reducing the risk for dementia and arthritis! I have been using it and will be willing to continue. My big question is how it can help me at 78 if the misfolding started 15 years ago? Roc replies: Indeed, Mito-C slows the process at any point; Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset for four consecutive weeks induces anticancer serum proteome response and improves metabolic syndrome; WebMD error. They state most Americans do not get enough calcium. But actually most Americans get too much calcium in their diet, which harms the heart and circulation; Xanthohumol from hop extract should be considered as a treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection; These findings indicate that sleep promotes learning-based decision-making performance; There is evidence for a link between cardiovascular fitness and brain structure in older adults; Five patients saved by new Covid-19 treatment Allocetra; Treat sleep apnea and stop snoring; All-cause mortality increases with either high or low HDL (≤ 30 mg/dL) and highest (> 70 mg/dL)[Yikes, mine is 96]; A lower ability to take care of oneself is connected with poor patient health and higher social care costs because the patient requires care from external sources [Mito-C!]; The main characteristics of iron metabolism anomalies in the elderly are the high frequency of Iron deficiency (20% of ID with anemia in adults ≥ 85 years)[but too much iron is also dangerous to health]; Still being developed to treat humans, a newly identified genetic factor allows adult skin to repair itself like the skin of a newborn babe; Low vitamin D is associated with some neck fractures.
LONG NOTES
Reader comment: I remember when you discovered Mito-C for protein misfolding! i have been using it and will be willing to continue. my big question is how it can help me at 78 if the misfolding started 15 years ago? it seems your triumph against cancer is more my drug since both have vitamin c.
Roc replies: Indeed, Mito-C slows the process at any point. I hope some day I can have a clinical trial including people who have the first symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, as Mito-C is likely to slow the progression. Vitamin C BID is just for protection from oxidants. Mito-C has lots of other great ingredients that specifically address misfolding. If you read the article linked at my products page, you will see why there are so many ingredients in there, as there are multiple causes of protein misfolding. I hope you get the links here if you have time to read them.
Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset for four consecutive weeks induces anticancer serum proteome response and improves metabolic syndrome. A report of very favorable results from a small study of intermittent fasting. in Table 1 at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-73767-w.pdf.
WebMD error. They state most Americans do not get enough calcium. But actually most Americans get too much calcium in their diet, which harms the heart and circulation. The mean daily intake of dietary calcium for individuals 2 years and older was 1029 mg. The recommended amount is 1000 mg.
Xanthohumol from hop extract has been shown in vitro and in vivo to have antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses but also importantly anti-inflammatory properties against severe respiratory syndrome via inhibition of NFκB dependent pathways. We review the evidence for xanthohumol to be considered as a treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Here is some preliminary evidence for a link between cardiovascular fitness and brain structure in older adults. An aging global population and accompanying increases in the prevalence of age-related disorders are leading to greater financial, social, and health burdens. Aging-related dementias are one such category of age-related disorders that are associated with progressive loss of physical and cognitive integrity.
Cardiovascular fitness and structural brain integrity: an update on current evidence
Five patients saved by new Covid-19 treatment. Israel’s Enlivex Therapeutics reported positive results in its clinical Covid-19 trial of its Allocetra treatment (reported here previously) Five seriously ill patients made complete recoveries, an average 8.5 days after receiving the treatment.at Jerusalem’s Hadassah hospital.

Treat sleep apnea and stop snoring. Israel’s KeepMed is currently conducting clinical trials of its KeePAP device to help patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) open their airways and reduce snoring. The soft, lightweight, hose-less wearable is designed for comfort and to restore good-quality sleep.

When compared with the reference group (HDL-C: 51– 60 mg/dL), a U-shaped association was apparent for all-cause mortality, with elevated risk in participants with the lowest (≤ 30 mg/dL) and highest (> 70 mg/dL) HDL-C concentration.

A newly identified genetic factor allows adult skin to repair itself like the skin of a newborn babe. The discovery by Washington State University researchers has implications for better skin wound treatment as well as preventing some of the aging process in skin. It is still being developed to treat humans. DOI: 10.7554/eLife.60066
