The BUZZ on Alzheimer's!
What are researchers saying today? Two different reports this week (one to be released in November) are stating that both Marijuana and Red Wine might fight the disease.
The Oct 2 issue of Molecular Pharmaceutics is saying the THC found in marijuana may inhibit an enzyme that is linked with Alzheimer's. Though the article does refute the charge that they are advocating "smoking dope".
The November issue of the FASEB Journal supports moderate red wine intake may also have benefits to those battling the disease.
So lets see, if you can remember how, since you've got the disease, roll a spliff and chase it with some Wild Irish Rose and you'll remember better? Can you say oxymoron!
(Since my last posting of this earlier today, I've found yet another bizzare story about Alzheimer's and drugs! Check out this link: http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=80225. Damn, have I been alseep lately as I had heard nothing of these things?!)

Doesn't it seem strange that drugs and alcohol, which kill brain cells, could help people fight a degenerative brain disease?
