A long time ago I stepped on a whole lot of sea urchins. I still remember it. Stepping on sea urchins helps you remember things.

If this were true, why wouldn’t scientist and doctors not focusing on this product?

And this is the last you’ll ever hear of it.

It seems every day I'm reading that disruptive/not enough sleep leads to Alzheimer's.

My sleep couldn't be more f-'d up plus my now 80 year old mother has early Alzheimer's (although I don't believe she's ever had sleep issues).

I am so hosed.

Do you have citations to that claim?

Since first hearing of the product being advertised on a local radio station (about three weeks ago), I decided to do a little internet research.

I have found no evidence of anyone with Alzheimer’s being “cured” using this product, however, there is some evidence that it might slow the disease down somewhat. That’s about all I could find on the subject.

Just don't test it on monkeys. They might get smart.

I really hope something comes of this soon. It either works or it doesn’t. Bring it on. Three of my paternal grandparents lived into their mid 90’s and were completely lucid. The fourth, died from sepsis after a surgery. But I have friends and other inlaws who are not so lucky.

I work with Alzheimer’s patients part time. Eventually you forget everything. Even how or even that you need to eat. It’s bad news.

Cleans up calcium. There is another chemical that removes aluminum Mine I believe is from stress creating an overactive immune system correlated with rheumatoid arthritis. Problem for me is I can’t take anything that will slow down my immune system. So. Gotta go sometime.

first this is interesting...

however, the product is still available but walking into another room and forgetting why you are there is NOT a sign of having alzheimers. It is very common and a normal psych response.

no adverse effects on the rats...

The producing company did their own study and don’t know if it has been replicated. Only 25% of ALL studies are usually productive. Politics.

We have the maternal X link of early onset in our family; my older sister died from in at age 56. She’d been ill since she was 40. Many cousins are now developing it. Hope this research pans out in time and will treat genetic AD. Please, please, please Lord.

It is terrible. At my age, I can see signs of it setting in. I can go longer speak languages I used to be able to though I thought in English and translated in my head. I no longer can do that. It seems inevitable and slowly progressive. Humor, however misplaced is my only response.
