So, i have finished most of the research, and i think that i will start soon a series of articles that are unrelated to crypto, but related to keeping yourself healthy, and how to live long enough to enjoy your crypto going to the moon. I will try to make them accessible and to not put too much science in it, even if sometimes i got excited, like yesterday when i could find the complete list of enzymes activated by NAD+ (I was expecting 200, but i found more than 350, anyway, this is a story for another time).
This is mostly material that i will probably use to update a book, but it is quite interesting, and there is a lot to learn about.
I will just declare this open, and i will start with a fun fact.
So Vitamin B12 deficiency has neurological damage added to megaloblastic anemia. Folic acid (another vitamin B) can heal the anemia, but not the neurological damage. Vitamin B12 is also a co-factor, activating the enzyme responsible with the homocysteine transformed in aminoacid methionine. Homocysteine increased is a sign of Alzheimer, or it is one of the risk factors increasing the symptoms of Alzheimer. Maybe is just the lack of vitamin B12 that is doing the neurological damage, and the homocysteine is just a marker showing us this issue. Short story - no Vitamin b12 -> Homocysteine blood level up -> Alzheimer and dementia symptoms.
Unrelated to this, as you age, drink too much alcohol or have bariatric surgery, the stomach is dying partially, and the atrophic gastritis appears. Direct related to this, the absorption of B12 decreases dramatically, and the deficiency appears, with all the signs described in the anterior paragraph. Keep in mind, the atrophic gastritis is a sign of being old. But, in order to avoid the malabsorption, you can have vitamin B12 injections, bypassing the stomach and all the problems.
This is the funny part, in some cases, where the vitamin B12 was the cause, after regular injections with B12, Dementia and Alzheimer symptoms were greatly diminished, and in few cases disappeared completely. It is still a common belief that dementia and Alzheimer are unstoppable. Which is true mostly. We are talking about a small percentage that improved, of course, as there are other causes such as heavy metals or mold intoxication, autoimmune diseases or any other known causes. This is only for vitamin B12 deficiency.
But, if this is the only problem related to a person ageing, bypassing the stomach-intestine barrier will restore the health and the wellbeing of that person. Only if you knew that!
This are the kinds of things that i will talk about, on my other health related blog, here on Publish0x. I hope you are curious enough now.
Yours truly,
George
