Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’ don’t fix the causes of health problems

What causes what to happen and why? That is the focus of my research into aging and age-related diseases. I want to know, at the cellular level, what is happening – inside and outside the cell. Part of my interest is my inherent fascination with chemistry. A job function I had with an oil field services company years ago dealt with failure analysis.

My specialties include quality assurance, quality engineering, reliability engineering, and logistics engineering. When a tool (or process) failed in the field, I was one of the primary people assigned to determine why it failed and what could be done to correct it. We used a system called TapRooT.

TapRooT

https://www.taproot.com/about/incident-investigation/. This system is used to determine and prevent root causes of problems. Sometimes, it may be a near-miss. Other times, it is a total failure. We also start with the question, WHY? Why did it happen?

Were procedures not followed (or did they exist)? Was the person appropriately trained and understood the expectations of performing that function? Were there adequate quality control inspection points? Were communications sufficient to avoid confusion? Was the maintenance performed correctly and on time? Was management sufficient to monitor/observe processes?

Many, many questions needed to be answered. When I dug down into the problem, the WHY question demanded about seven levels of depth to determine the root cause of a problem. Some causes could be fixed within a couple of levels of searching. Other causes required an in-depth assessment of the part of the process.

Causes of Parkinson’s disease (PD)?

https://draxe.com/health/parkinsons-disease-natural-treatment-remedies/. Most of the time, the answer I find to the causes of PD is genes and environment. OK, but what other controllable things might cause or influence the development of PD? It turns out that men are more susceptible to developing PD than women after the age of sixty. PD runs in families, so it is possible that if someone in your family has/had PD, there is an increased risk of you or a family member contracting the disease.

Damage inside the brain is a good indicator of PD. Damage to the substantia nigra area of the brain has a high likelihood of developing PD. Exposure to toxic chemicals (through contact or eating/drinking) increases the risk of PD. An unhealthy lifestyle contributes to many diseases, and PD is one of them. Hormonal imbalance is another cause of PD. Add side effects of drugs and comorbidity, and another pathway to PD is possible.

Chronic, low-level inflammation and oxidative stress are drivers of disease development at the cellular level for almost all diseases. Additionally, cellular mitochondria dysfunction can impact the development and progression of PD.

Alpha-synuclein (aS)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-synuclein. aS is a protein found in neurons that regulates synapses, the nerve impulse between two neurons. It is found in most proteins we eat and is abundant in the brain. Something disrupts the normal function of aS, and PD begins to grow.

Like the beta-amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease, PD can have similar plaques (called β-sheet-rich fibrils) from aS proteins by fibrillogenesis. When this happens, the substantia nigra loses its ability to make dopaminergic neuronal cells. Excess aS molecules form aggregates and toxic lumps called Lewy bodies.

Lewy bodies

https://pennmemorycenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/LBD.png. The aS aggregates feed the formation of Lewy bodies and can affect the regions of the brain that handle thinking, memory, and movement. There are many different types of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. Lewy body dementia (LBD) is next in line in frequency. LBD can manifest as PD or dementia with Lewy bodies.

Lewy bodies overwhelm neurons, and they die. When neurons die, there is a decrease in neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine and dopamine. Neuronal destruction continues as the disease progresses with cognitive impairment or motor dysfunction.

Alpha-synuclein Inhibition/Destruction

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5307473/. Finding one article that covers a full range of aS inhibitors or aS destroyers is a bit more difficult. aS has different molecular structures as the proteins fold and aggregation begins. One size does not fit all. This link discusses squalamine in detail. Squalamine is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections and is available as a supplement.

Green Tea (EGCG), https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28667699/, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is one of many catechins in green tea.

Oleuropein is a phenolic compound found in olive tree leaves.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30655291/#:~:text=Aggregation%20of%20%CE%B1%2Dsynuclein%20(%CE%B1SN,tree%20(Olea%20europaea%20L.). It is also available as a supplement.

Vitamin B12, specifically methylcobalamin since cyanocobalamin cannot survive stomach acid. Take this supplement under the tongue.

https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/news/vitamin-b12-may-protect-nerve-cells-alpha-synuclein-clumps/#:~:text=Vitamin%20B12%20was%20able%20to,aggregates%5D%20into%20less%20toxic%20pieces.

Turmeric, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3605819/, is also known as curcumin. Take this supplement with black pepper extract and piperine to achieve higher bioavailability in the body.

Ferulic acid is an antioxidant and is used in personal care products.

https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jpssuppl/WCP2018/0/WCP2018_PO1-1-27/_pdf. It can be found as a supplement.

Resveratrol, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30462117/, is a natural phenol found in the skin of grapes and other fruits.

PQQ, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16962995/, pyrroloquinoline quinone is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory molecules found in the brain. It is a vitamin-like compound found in plants.

Conclusion

There may be another dozen natural chemicals/compounds that have exhibited some positive result in inhibiting, destroying, or lowering the toxicity levels of aS. I pick a topic, like stilbene, Google stilbene, and alpha-synuclein, and I might find something pertinent to my research or maybe nothing. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain. Any natural supplement used to treat PD must pass through the BBB to be effective.

As always, do not experiment without your physician’s knowledge. Even though the compounds I listed above have lots of research on their efficacy, they are not things to begin experimenting with alone. I provide awareness and information and do not list items for self-medication. Print out several articles and take them to your doctor. Many times, they do not know anything about natural options to treat PD.

  42. Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Validation and its Rigorous Standards
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that verifies the precision and precision of wristwatches. COSC accreditation is a sign of quality craftsmanship and reliability in timekeeping. Not all watch brands pursue COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary strict criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, attaining comparable precision.

    The Science of Precision Chronometry
    The core system of a mechanized watch involves the mainspring, which delivers energy as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be prone to external elements that may influence its precision. COSC-accredited mechanisms undergo demanding testing—over fifteen days in various circumstances (five positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Mean daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, maximum variation rates, and effects of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Is Important
    For timepiece fans and collectors, a COSC-certified watch isn’t just a item of tech but a testament to lasting excellence and accuracy. It symbolizes a watch that:

    Offers exceptional dependability and precision.
    Ensures confidence of quality across the whole construction of the timepiece.
    Is apt to hold its value more efficiently, making it a wise investment.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several famous brands prioritize COSC accreditation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Archive and Spirit, which feature COSC-accredited mechanisms equipped with innovative materials like silicon equilibrium suspensions to improve durability and performance.

    Historical Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The notion of the chronometer dates back to the need for exact timekeeping for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the official foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a benchmark for assessing the accuracy of luxury timepieces, continuing a tradition of superiority in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated watch is more than an visual choice; it’s a dedication to excellence and accuracy. For those appreciating precision above all, the COSC accreditation offers peacefulness of mind, guaranteeing that each accredited timepiece will function dependably under various circumstances. Whether for personal satisfaction or as an investment decision, COSC-validated timepieces distinguish themselves in the world of horology, carrying on a legacy of meticulous timekeeping.
