Can Aricept be used as a preventative measure against Alzheimers or is it only used for treatment of an existing case.

Lauz asked:


do you believe that the victimless crime of smoking marijuana should be legalised? i mean does anyone know why its illegal? not only can it be used to stimulate appetite in AIDS and cancer patients and people who suffer from annorexia and OCD, it could also be used to prevent alzheimers and yet its illegal!! mainly because the government could not tax it because people could grow it. what do you think? should it be legalised?

lazy010302 asked:


only one that feels this strongly about it. She can’t walk she wears depends and used them all the time. My dad doesn’t need the care as much as she does but he is needy. I am getting so burnt out taking care of both of them. If she was in a nursing home then everybody could go visit her as they wanted and enjoy their visit. But they think that if she goes into a nursing home she is going to die immediately. Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Does Gonzales have Alzheimers, and should we have an AG whose brain can’t retain information?

Don P asked:


During the Senate hearings, AG Gonzales claimed over 200 times that he “couldn’t recall” incidents that we know took place (including meetings he himself had called!) and statements we know he made.

If your boss asked you questions about your job and you kept replying “I don’t recall,” how long would you stay in your job? Not long, I suspect.

We should cut him some slack if he has Alzheimers or brain damage that prevents him from remembering prominent and critical events & facts, even if it is only those that might be harmful to his job or reputation (or that of the President). But if that’s the case, should he remain as AG anyway?

Should America’s top law enforcement executive be a person who admittedly “can’t recall” his most important decisions and actions? Wouldn’t it be more honorable if he admitted his mental deficiencies and resigned, rather than embarrass himself and the President even more than he has already?
PUSHERHOMBRE: You asked if I am pining for the days of Janet Reno… Tou mean those days of human rights, budget surpluses and global respect for America? When the worst thing the President lied about was blow jobs in the oval office? When those 3,300+ brave young Americans were still alive and had bright futures ahead of them? You BET I miss those days.

RMAGEDON: It’s so easy to throw numbers out there. Care to back them up with unbiased references?

CLARIFICATION: Gonzales used the “I don’t recall” excuse 64 times during the hearing. Counting the number of times his chief of staff used it, that’s 122 times. My reference to “over 200 times” included his many “I don’t know” type answers (claiming to know about critical actions and information in his own office, AND his own actions).
Of course I meant to say Gonzales claimed NOT to know about things in his own office, and even his own actions.

mental instability, pre-alzheimers dementia, age?
zaza - I had to take TWO guns away from my alzheimers-addled mother when distant relatives misunderstood her agitation. She died of alzheimers when her brain lost it’s ability to move food through her digestive system…long after she forgot how to talk.

How is it respect to put a gun in her hand?

Family told by NHS: Alzheimer’s is not a ‘health condition’ WHAT?

February 20th, 2010 | Posted in Alzheimers   Comments Off
alzheimers prevent
Englishman in Kentucky asked:


Ye Gads, this is so chillingly close to Ezekiel Emanuel’s writings it’s not funny.

NHS Worcestershire ruled that Judith Roe, 74, did not qualify for NHS funding because her condition was a “social” rather than “health” problem, even though she was so ill she could not make a cup of tea and regularly left the stove on.

Recap - Substantively, it suggests services that promote the continuation of the polity-those that ensure healthy future generations,
ensure development of practical reasoning skills, and ensure full and active participation by citizens in public deliberations - are to be socially guaranteed as basic.

Conversely, services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.

What is this, a selective Health Care?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/6049942/Family-told-by-NHS-Alzheimers-is-not-a-health-condition.html
Keir - Is this a lie? A family has won £130,000 from an NHS trust after it refused to pay for their mother’s care fees, claiming her Alzheimer’s was not a health issue.
People are missing the point here, Ezekiel Emanuel has a selective health agenda.
Steve, I read the article and read your post, the Robinson’s are unfortunate. Obama needs to regulate the Insurance companies more stringently rather than try to take them over.

Alzheimer’s Disease - a Surprising Way to Prevent & Provide Relief to Sufferers

February 16th, 2010 | Posted in Alzheimers   Comments Off
prevent alzheimers
Sacha Tarkovsky asked:


There is a natural compound that is cheap, common and could provide significant heath benefits for a number of diseases including Alzheimer’s disease and a number of other diseases of the brain. So what is this compound?

Surprisingly it’s nicotine. Although Nicotine has suffered from an image problem due to its association with smoking, the fact is nicotine in its pure form is safe and non toxic and is part of the natural food chain.

Nicotine is in fact found in many common foods such as chili peppers, cauliflower tomatoes and potatoes, as well as many teas.

Nicotine has a bad reputation due to its link with cigarette smoking, but the fact is it is some of the other 4,000 chemicals that are consumed in smoking that are the killers not nicotine.

Today, many companies are conducting research into nicotine and its affect on the brain. It has been known for a long time that it improves concentration, attention and has a beneficial affect on mood.

It is this affect on the brain that has led scientists to look at Nicotine’s potential in diseases including Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease Prevention

Alzheimer’s disease occurs when the degeneration of various structures in the brain occurs, with the development of amyloid plaques and neuro-fibrillary tangles then deficiencies of acetylcholine and other neurotransmitters also can occur.

New research indicates that nornicotine, produced when nicotine is absorbed into the body, prevents the formation of protein lumps, or plaques, in the brain area that are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease alleviating the symptoms

Scientists are also looking at nicotine to treat Alzheimer’s disease when it has already occurred. Tests have already been carried out to repair damaged memory ability in rats.

Nicotine is thought to help alleviate the effects of Alzheimer’s by attaching to receptors of the brain acetylcholine, a chemical important in learning and memory, of which a loss of is common in Alzheimer’s disease.

While medical research is still inconclusive in many areas, it does appear that Nicotine has potential to help with a number of diseases that include brain function.

In addition to Alzheimer’s disease, medical research is being undertaken into Nicotine’s affect on suffers of:

Depression, Parkinson’s disease, attention disorders and Schizophrenia.

Many drug companies are researching the possibility of treatments that include nicotine to combat the above diseases and alleviate the symptoms.

Nicotine needs to be delivered in its pure form and companies have already looked at and launched nicotine in water which is a safe delivery method and other products look set to follow.

After being treated with suspicion for many years due to its association with smoking nicotine is being seen in a different light.

In its natural form it is safe and non toxic and not only does not cause disease, it may actually have huge potential as a medical treatment.

As research intensifies expect to here more news on nicotine in relation to a number of diseases including Alzheimer’s. It maybe that in the near future nicotine could be seen in a completely different light and not simply associated with smoking.
