Compositions and methods are described in which a water-soluble fullerene (preferably a water-soluble buckminsterfullerene or C60) is used in combination with an associated ketone in order to treat central nervous system disease or injury. The associated ketone can be noncovalently coupled to the outer surface of the water-soluble fullerene, covalently coupled to the outer surface of the water-soluble fullerene, and/or encapsulated or otherwise held within the interior volume of the water-soluble fullerene. Such formulations are effective in increasing neuronal activity in damaged portions of the central nervous system, reduce fatigue, and increase endurance.

Compositions and methods for protecting bees from toxins and for preventing or decreasing colony collapse are provided. The compositions comprise carbon microparticles which, when ingested by bees, increase their survival after exposure to toxins such as pesticides.

A water-insoluble fullerene is at least partially dissolved in a biocompatible lipid carrier, especially a fat or an oil such as butter, olive oil, and liquid paraffin. When administered to mammals, the fullerene, most preferably [60]fullerene dissolved in olive oil, scavenges free radicals and prolongs life span in rats.

A method for using treated biochar to reduce the overall environmental impact of farming and minimize the carbon footprint of farms is provided. The method comprising engaging in one or more of the following practices: (1) combining treated biochar with feed or using biochar as feed for animals to reduce methane from enteric fermentation and increase animal health and nutrition; (2) combining treated biochar with compost, animal bedding or manure piles to reduce odor and increase nutrient retention; (3) applying treated biochar to lagoons to reduce odor and treat water; (4) applying treated biochar to pastures to increase pasture health; (5) applying treated biochar to crops to increase crop productivity, healthier roots and prevent fertilizer leaching; and (6) using the carbon negativity of a produced biochar to reduce the overall farm or ranch carbon footprint.
