from a cursory search it appears that the active ingredient, kinetin, can be found in coconut milk/water as well as sprouts.

This could possibly be a major find, but how would we get the ingredient in the skin cream to where it counts? Would we rub ib into our skin or what . I have long believed that our disease begins at the celliular level, more specifically in the cell' s mitochondria - the "powerhouse of cells. Yet , we have poor animal models, as those used for testing are usually lesion end rats. I read that 95% of animal models fail! and that makes it takes even longer than 15-18 years to gain drug approval.
I would support doing away with animal studies altogether based on that low number of successful trials. Olsen - whew do you get such interesting topics? Do you use alerts? Thx Peggy |

Hi Peg, I do have "google alerts", and I also belong to a number of subversive forums/groups that share information. I have always been an avid researcher and reader. Just the past 12 years most of my research has focused on Parkinson's Disease.
I actually had a tube of this cream in my cabinet--for myself (those pesky blotches/sun spots). I have discovered I cannot use it at night; wakefulness results. I experimented on myself 3 times; will not go sleepless for further substantiation. Though in retrospect, how stupid to have followed the first sleepless night with 2 more just to prove it was the cream. (I do not have PD; my husband does. We have not tried it on him yet. ) madelyn

Looks interesting. Over the counter & there is a product called "Kinetin Cream" for skin treatment but I haven't found a supplier yet.

Might try adding coconut to papaya and ferment them together to see if this is a good symbiotic relationship( between the enzymes of the 2 fruits...might be the link we have been looking for. ) Thanks Anagirl!!! Will report on how it does. Will look for a papaya and a coconut in town tomorrow.
