Alcohol worse than ecstasy – drugs chief – The Guardian 29th October 2009 “Alcohol and tobacco are more harmful than many illegal drugs, including LSD, ecstasy and cannabis, according to a paper from a drugs expert. Professor David Nutt, chairman of the government’s advisory committee on the misuse of drugs, criticised politicians for “distorting” and “devaluing” the research evidence in the debate over illicit drugs.” tags : Smoking , Alcohol , Health , News , Drugs of Abuse , UHN

Researchers in the USA have discovered a potential new function for anti-epileptic drugs in treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The study, published in BioMed Central’s open access journal Molecular Neurodegeneration , found that neurons in the brain were protected after treatment with T-type calcium-channel blockers, which are commonly used to treat epilepsy. Calcium signaling pathways play a vital role in the survival of neurons in the brain.

Senior Care for Total Health and Well-Being I have been involved with senior care for many years, first as a pastor in a mainline church, then as one who has helped a friend care for her aging mother, now as a teacher of senior yoga and relaxation. It’s seems easy to offer help on our own terms, but it’s more rewarding (for us as well as for them) and ultimately easier for us to meet our older friends where they are. Meeting an older person where he or she is means first of all being aware of his or her history.

Joe Mirabella has given us permission to re-post this story.  I think anyone working in the trenches for human rights will appreciate it.

Discovering that a family member has the first signs of dementia and Alzheimer’s will be difficult, but there are lots of resources you can use to make caring for that family member more productive. Your family member will still desire to be alone, and you’ll want to select a place that will give you what you need to help them thrive. Here are some vital facts about Alzheimer’s that will let you know if you need to find additional treatment.

The famous FAD diet fo the century is the Atkins or High Protein diets.  Short term weight loss made these diets so popular that even the medical community has to take a second look. One new possible side effect of  this FAD-  high protein diet is believed to be neurotoxicity that can possibly lead to premature aging or alzheimers disease.  In a recent study published in Molecular Neurodegeneration , 2009, 4:40 (21 October 2009), animal studies involving mice that were fed with this kind of diet resulted in having brains that apprently shrank.  This clinically may therefore be relevant to the onset of forgetfulness in the long run to humans.

This is a sincere talk about innocence and what it means to slowly lose some, if not all, of what we cherish most in life. Will I lose my memories just as my grandparents did or is the journey that we take when we start becoming innocent again a whole new grand adventure? I simply don’t know and probably won’t be able to tell anyone when I find out either, but I’ll try anyway. Peace. One caveat - I am aware of the misspelling of German in the video. My mistake. It was just a typo.

The aim of this literature review is to identify the observational pain scales that have clinical utility and feasibility for use with people living with dementia in the community by district nurses in their daily practice.

  There has been plenty of debate as to whether or not cell phones have holistically upgraded our lives. And although this gadget has contributed significantly to our existence and industries, their negative impact still manages to negate their constructive qualities.   There were about 304.7 million cell phone units sold last year alone. Add that to the statistics of previous years and you’d be dumbfounded with the results. There are more than 203 million cell phone users in the United States alone.

The media says so many diseases could be due to too low vitamin D3 intake. But what happens if you have a certain gene variation that instead causes vitamin D3 to calcify your aortic valves? There is some early research that high amounts of vitamin D, such as 2,000 iu, taken daily for many months or years may lead to calcification of arteries, according to Dr.

Why do most of the travel shows and cooking shows on television nowadays cater to eating large portions, food eating or cooking contests, heavy reliance on eating animal products, especially meats, alcoholic beverage drinking, pigging out at burger, pancake, donut, and meat-oriented eateries, and almost no emphasis on foods for vegetarians?

Elderly people exhibiting memory disturbances that do not affect their normal, daily life suffer from a condition called “mild cognitive impairment” (MCI). Some MCI patients go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease within a few years, whereas other cases remain stable, exhibiting only benign senile forgetfulness.

Why does this not surprise me one bit? This is just like Obamacare that Congress has exempted itself of, instead opting to keep their gold-plated Cadillac benefits. Government-run healthcare does not lead to more choices, higher quality and lower costs. It leads to higher costs, bureaucratic red tape, diminishing quality and rationing. It also leads to absurd situations that from the outside sound medieval in nature. No government-run system embodies all that is wrong with the concept more than Britain’s National Health Service (NHS).
