    What a good article SC, it confirmed what I have been thinking for some time now. I have a question for you if you dont mind. But if someones parent or sibling has Alzheimer's, do you think that it is possible for there offsprings to inhairet it from them?

    neuroglobin is such a cool sounding protein. I'm wondering if once they figure out how altzheimers works if they won't be able to manipulate memory loss on people using their findings. Think of the ramifications of that!

            okay, I am nuts,because you'll probably conclude after I tell you this...Through a famous medium, I spoke to my grandmother who passed and everyone labeled her as mentally ill, said she had alhzeimers from an early age, before fort and for my mom not to worry that she would not get it., She was never diagnosed early enough to get popper treatment, her three kids were put in an orphanage, and she was institutionalized, given shock treatment, and who knows what else. She told me to thank my mom for taking care of her.
