Interesting

I’ve read it’s similar to aging, but one thing is clear, the our body reacts to environmental stress.

Thank you for posting, very interesting article.

Diseases in which mitochondrial dysfunction have been implicated include Alzheimer’s Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), intellectual disability, deafness and blindness, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

Over 50 million people in the U.S. suffer from these chronic degenerative disorders. While it cannot yet be said that mitochondrial defects cause these problems, it is clear that mitochondria are involved because their function is measurably disturbed.

Even autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Sjogrens syndrome, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis appear to have a mitochondrial basis to illness. Mitochondrial dysfunction has also been associated with a wide range of solid tumors, proposed to be central to the aging process, and found to be a common factor in the toxicity of a variety of physical and chemical agents.

The rare disease, mitochondrial disease, should definitely be on Anavex's short list. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and also autism.
