• In 1954, researchers Abram Hoffer and Humphry Osmond claimed that adrenochrome is a neurotoxic, psychotomimetic substance and may play a role in schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. (wikipedia.org)
  • In what Hoffer called the "adrenochrome hypothesis", he and Osmond in 1967 speculated that megadoses of vitamin C and niacin could cure schizophrenia by reducing brain adrenochrome. (wikipedia.org)

  • For example, he advised us to think of alternate treatments (i.e., hypotheses) if a patient had not responded to therapeutic doses of niacin. (chewdigest.com)
  • Although, at least to my knowledge, adrenochrome has not been measured and compared between schizophrenic, nonschizophrenic and normal control groups of population, we can draw conclusions in favor of niacin and hence, indirectly for the adrenochrome hypothesis, from Hoffer's studies and reports that spanned many decades.

  • The adrenochrome theory of schizophrenia waned, despite some evidence that it may be psychotomimetic, as adrenochrome was not detectable in people with schizophrenia. (wikipedia.org)
  • They may have become chronic because the treating physician didn't consider gluten as a hypothesis of schizophrenia. (chewdigest.com)
  • In a famous experiment carried out in Belgium in the late 1940s, clinicians were able to use a perfusion of adrenochrome to bring an intentionally frostbitten rabbit's ear back to life with only a few exposures (doses). (drkeithsown.com)
  • However, in one study in which all contractions ceased when perfusion was begun with a fluoride-adrenochrome solution deprived of oxygen, more than 30% of the hearts resumed coordinated beating four hours later, when perfused with an oxygenated solution containing magnesium and glutathione. (biostasis.com)
  • After rendering the rabbit's ears nerve damaged and deadened intentionally four weeks prior to experimentation, doctors then proved a hypothesis that the application of oxidized adrenaline, otherwise known as adrenochrome, had the capacity to restore life to the rabbit's damaged skin.

  • The phantom time hypothesis is any of a number of alternate chronologies of the past few millennia, in which whole centuries of false history have been inserted into the calendar ex post facto by the ruling class. (skeptoid.com)
  • citation needed] In the early 2000s, interest was renewed by the discovery that adrenochrome may be produced normally as an intermediate in the formation of neuromelanin. (wikipedia.org)
  • Our hypothesis is that the innate, perhaps even genetic, altruism and human compassion of Nordic folk renders them more vulnerable to manipulation of both the heart and mind. (brutalproof.net)
  • In his 1954 book The Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley mentioned the discovery and the alleged effects of adrenochrome which he likened to the symptoms of mescaline intoxication, although he had never consumed it. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the case of chronic schizophrenic patients, who are likely to develop negative symptoms, much like the well known symptoms of "institutionalization or hospitalization syndrome," the useful hypothesis may be something other than the adrenochrome hypothesis. (chewdigest.com)
  • But we did see and document all the forces at play, and I think our explanation is far more plausible than any previous hypotheses. (skeptoid.com)
  • Thus one explanation is that women find high levels of adrenochrome an anti aging hormone, as extremely attractive. (incels.wiki)
  • The theories commonly state that a cabal of Satanists rape and murder children, and "harvest" adrenochrome from their victims' blood as a drug or as an elixir of youth. (wikipedia.org)
  • It's out there but all I could find is rambling, wild, stupid and entirely unsupported claims about the celebrity elite using adrenochrome taken from murdered children. (drkeithsown.com)
  • The suspicion of "fear-mongering" also concerns many other topics too, such as paedophilia, satanic rituals or the extraction of adrenochrome from children … the list could go on forever. (blogspot.com)
  • Adrenochrome is a subject of several far right conspiracy theories, such as QAnon and Pizzagate, with the chemical helping the theories play a similar role to earlier blood libel and Satanic ritual abuse stories. (wikipedia.org)
  • Brodie thinks that the increase in adrenochrome blood level following LSD may be simply due to the effect that LSD, a central sympathetic stimulant, produced release of adrenalin from the adrenals. (erowid.org)
  • Then they kill the person and collect the adreanlized blood and drink it or they can separate this so called adrenochrome stuff from the blood and purify it. (auricmedia.net)
  • In solution, adrenochrome is pink and further oxidation of the compound causes it to polymerize into brown or black melanin compounds. (wikipedia.org)

  • Adrenochrome levels were elevated when ascorbic acid was given during LSD therapy. (erowid.org)
  • The levels went up after injection of adrenochrome. (erowid.org)
  • Adrenochrome levels could possibly explain why only 10% of men's facial attractiveness is heritable. (incels.wiki)
  • Its possible 90% and 30% of men and women's inherited facial attractiveness respectively, boils down to inherited adrenochrome levels. (incels.wiki)
  • Making adrenochrome levels another X factor, as adrenochrome levels are not directly sexually selected for until around middle age and older. (incels.wiki)
  • Adrenochrome is also believed to have cardiotoxic properties. (wikipedia.org)
  • adrenochrome is not currently believed to have any psychedelic properties. (auricmedia.net)
  • After administration of LSD the adrenochrome level increased severalfold within 2 hours (from 69 to 151 mcg/liter in 9 normal volunteers and from 59 to 155 mcg/liter in 4 alcoholics (5 experiments). (erowid.org)
  • The administration of either the fluoride-adrenochrome combination or excess magnesium will cause a cessation of cardiac contractions for prolonged periods, even at normal body temperature. (biostasis.com)

  • The leading scientific hypothesis is that the rocks are moved by high winds, on rare occasions when the playa is wet enough to be extremely slippery, and conditions are just right. (skeptoid.com)
  • Several small-scale studies (involving 15 or fewer test subjects) conducted in the 1950s and 1960s reported that adrenochrome triggered psychotic reactions such as thought disorder and derealization. (wikipedia.org)
  • The truly interesting thing about the various phantom time hypotheses is not the claims themselves, but the real science behind how we're able to disprove them. (skeptoid.com)
  • In reality, adrenochrome is synthesized by biotechnology companies, solely for research purposes, and has no medical uses. (wikipedia.org)
