Subject: [Mad-Scientists] New find regarding parkinsons may improve longevity
Message-ID: <20081125015953.78935.qmail@mall-net.com>

    Some forms of Parkinsons may be due to a mutation which inhibits the 
destruction of bad mitochondria.

    I think this is very interesting!!!

    If this is correct, then I suspect it may help with longevity.  One 
model of aging (more of an aspect of aging) has it that mutations 
produce mitochondria which are less efficient; but replicate faster.  
These then crowd out the more efficient mitochondria, resulting in our 
cells having less energy.  That may explain why excercise in childhood 
produces muscles which retain more capacity through life than similar 
excersise when we are adults.

     I think this likely also applies to some aspects of over-trianing 
which results in reduced ability, and to quired porphyria (porphyniura) 
caused by high toxic exposures which trigger MCS in some people.

     What would be even more interesting, would be the ability to 
install improved mitochondria.  One wonders if that is the key to why 
whales can live to 260 plus years.

Hi!
I have a little input on Parkinsons and agree it must be partly due
to early aging. But potent nerve toxins like MSG
must figure into the equasion?and the chemical does plenty of damage. 
A loved one who ate
loads of ham(cured in MSG)?and liverworst, sausage and hotdogs
plus tunafish, and smothered food in Accent, got a terrible
progressive case of Parkinsons.
He responded positively to maga doses of vitamin E: 1200 IU to 2300?
for three years and he got out of his wheel chair to walk again.
?(He had?pronounced sclerotic rings in his eyes,?as well).
Thanks for the information!
Elly Cummens
