Catalase Away Greys

AS54 wrote:Google turns up quite a few suppliers but most of them are selling at minimum buys of 100 kilos up to a ton. Worthington Biochem sells 100 ml for $280. Enzymes are expensive. Sheeeit. But that's getting you 1.2 million active units and its interesting they use thymol as a preservative...its an isomer of carvacrol, the heavy hitter in oregano oil. Wonder if this stuff would burn also. But I don't know what kind of concentrations were used. Could be an interesting topical though.

A group of scientists have been studying the problem in Yorkshire’s University of Bradford. Their findings indicate that causes of grey hair can be directly linked to deficiencies in the hair itself. The process seems to start with magnesium deficiencies, which prevents the productions of catalase and MSR enzymes. Because your hair is lacking these needed ingredients, cells begin to produce hydroxyl radicals. These radicals are better known as hydrogen peroxide, a bleaching agent. Once your follicles are producing this chemical, it disrupts the create of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that’s directly responsible for producing melanin, the stuff that creates color in hair. The hydrogen peroxide damages the melanocytes, which give color to hair. Without the much-needed catalase that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen (which is ultimately what it’s comprised of), grey hair color emerges.

No, I don't know anything about what Prague was up to. I think I got here toward the end of the days where he was posting more.
But I did find a lot of his stuff interesting. The enzyme possibility is interesting also, but like you hinted at, there are a lot of gray areas
when it comes to it: quality of the product, shipping methods and time, storage, how to deliver the enzymes to the body, potency, etc.

If you experiment with this at all, would love for you to keep this updated.

Interesting Delphine, thanks for that. I just started supplementing Magnesium in January, so maybe I'll see some benefits from that.

I know that CS said that 400mg / day was an ideal dosage, but I wonder if that holds true for those who have been deficient for a long time, or whether I should up the dosage.

I'd advise using magnesium oil topically as well as orally.  That's what I do.  Actually, topical magnesium is said to be much more effective.  Dr. Sircus is an advocate: http://drsircus.com/medicine/magnesium/  He's gray though, which only goes to show there are other factors involved!

B complex and minerals as from liver, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, kelp,  and blackstrap molasses also help.  Raw carrots and deep green vegs.
Nuts like almonds and macadamias.  Sunflower seeds.  (Nuts/seeds should be raw and unsalted.) And the headstand, which I think may be the main reason I haven't gone gray at almost 64.

Last but not least, cut out coffee and alcohol, and don't smoke.

Thanks again - just ordered some mag oil a few days ago, so will start with that soon. I haven't tried brewer's yeast for a long time, maybe I should get some of that.

BTW, what's the deal with raw / unsalted nuts? I love nuts but they taste pretty bland without salt.

I prefer them salted as well, actually.  The reason I say unsalted is that most nuts sold with salt are using
regular table salt.  To unsalted nuts, you could add some high quality salt to taste.  I like Real Salt.  

My son loves organic macadamia nuts unsalted. He goes through pounds of them.  nuts.com is a great site for high quality organic nuts.
