GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The first drug suggested for use in reversing
aging in modern times, Romanian physician Dr. Anna Aslan suggested in 1956 that procaine could
be used to combat arthritis, arteriosclerosis, senile skin
changes and baldness. Procaine containing benzoic acid has
been shown to markedly improve the absorption of procaine by fats, thus quickening its absorption
by the human body. Procaine also increases the speed with
which the nerves conduct impulses, and decreases the rate of excretion of the 17 ketosteroids, which usually
increases with age.
ROLE FOR ANTI-AGING:
Procaine’s anti-aging benefits include increased nerve velocities, improved sense of well-being and increased potential lifespan. A 1965
study by Drs. Abrams and Gordon reported that elderly people
treated with procaine containing benzoic acid increased
their mental state, nerve velocity and rate of excretion of 17-ketosteroids. A 1965 study conducted
by Dr. Anna Aslan studied procaine’s effect on rats. Treated
animals scored higher on electrocardiograms, ability to
learn mazes and cell pathology than untreated rats
and treated male rats lived 20% longer.
SIDE EFFECTS/CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Side effects include possible allergic reactions.
Patients with hypersensitivity to the drug should avoid it.
PHARMACOLOGY: Molecular Formula:
tablet. Procaine is available in 50mg or 100mg tablets under
the names GH-3 and KH-3. Note:
Procaine tablets are available as the anesthetic novocain, which is sold with and without
adrenaline added. Prolonged consumption of adrenaline can be
dangerous so it is important to make sure that procaine
does not contain adrenaline.
