Procaine

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.

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 include possible allergic reactions. Patients with hypersensitivity to the drug should avoid it.

Molecular Formula: C(13)H(20)N(2)O(2) Distribution: Procaine can be administered by injection or by 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.
