Majid Ali, M.D. A healthy bowel is inhospitable to parasites, an unhealthy bowel cannot keep them out. As a boy in Pakistan in 1950s, I learned from my elders that healthy children were expected to have parasites every now and then, and were also expected to clear them out without drugs. As a medical student in that country, I

As a boy in Pakistan in 1950s, I learned from my elders that healthy children were expected to have parasites every now and then, and were also expected to clear them out without drugs. As a

Specifically, it begins with rupture of the initial step involving complex I in the chain of oxygen-driven events in mitochondrial ATP generation — and is perpetuated by disruptions of the
Read moreThe Oxygen Model OF Health and Aging Majid Ali, M.D. My grandfather forgot to die on time. We do not know how long he lived — 101 years, 102 years, or more. My grandmother was also a centenarian. With that genetic pool, I sometimes wonder about my own life span. Then I realize that my grandparents lived free of pesticides, refrigerators,

Read moreOXYGEN GOVERNS THE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE AND ADJUDICATES MAN-MICROBE CONFLICTS Majid Ali, M.D. Life is an unending injury-healing-injury cycle. Injury is inevitable in an organism’s struggle for survival. Healing is the intrinsic capacity of the organism to repair damage inflicted by that injury. Inflammation — in my view — is one aspect of the energetic-molecular mosaic of that intrinsic capacity. This

Viewed in that light, bone homeostasis is but one
