The Currently Researched Sticky Molecules May Not Prevent Alzheimer's

MedlinePlus: Alzheimer's Research Target May Be a Dead End

They are too sticky molecules that would not fight the sticky proteins. This is what thought of, after a team of chemists at University of California, San Fransico, found that the candidate drug called "amyloid inhibitors" form large unwieldly clumps themselves, rendering them useless as targeted therapy against amyloid in the brain.


The new researched class of drugs that may prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease, were based theoretically on the fact that proteins in the brain called amyloid proteins stick together in the brain tissue forming plaques that are hallmark of Alzheimer's, Huntington's and "mad cow" diseases. The new drug candidate was investigated to competitively stick and stop amyloid proteins from forming clumps.


After the new chemical finding, Chemists represented by Professor B.Shoichet who is supported by Prefessor D.Lynn, see no value for the amyloid inhibitors for the following reasons:

1- The proposition that amyloid inhibitors may inhibit amyloid protein to stick together was based on a postulated interaction between an individual molecule of the drug and amyloid proteins, yet as these molecules inevitably bind together to form a mass, this renders them therapeutically useless.

2- Aggregated drug candidate molecules would not reach the target, at the needed concentration ( they would not cross the blood membrane barrier).

3- It is still not certain whether protein plaques even cause Alzheimer's and other brain diseases, or whether they are merely by products of the disease process.

Chemists advice neuroscientists investigating these agents to stop.

Pills Halved the Risk of Ovarian Cancer for more than 30 Years

One of the most effective means of preventing pregnancy is the birth control pills. British researchers from Oxford University found that pills taken for 15 years, lowered the risk of developing ovarian cancer by half, and that the risk remained low more than 30 years later. Read the details:

Cola Can Cause kidney Problems and These Drinks can Ease them

There are conclusions that Cola drinks are linked to kidney stones and other renal problems. Read the details:

In fact, kidney problems may arise due to one or more of the following reasons:
1- Decreased kidney blood flow, which reduces kidney productivity with a resultant decreased urine excretion
2- Decreased protective colloids in the urine and this predisposes kidney for stone formation and inflammation
3- pH changes of the urine to a favorable environment for bacterial growth
4- Overdose of electrolytes


Are there drinks that may ease kidney problems or prevent them?
The answer is yes. There are some juices and drinks that are friendly dealing with the kidney, in both healthy and diseased conditions, these are:
1- Cranberry juice
2- Orange juice
3- Lemon juice
4- Apple juice
5- Carbonated drinks that contain Barley, Hops or both.

The solution of OTC Cold Drugs that are Neither Safe Nor Effective in Kids Under 2

Would we leave our kids sniffing and coughing?. Certainly not, and it is ievitable that we search something alternative. Today we use a very old and successful remedy to treat cold and cough, i.e. honey and lemon, but the right way.

For hundreds of years, the best way to use Lemon to cure cough was to boil the INTACT Lemon in water before squeezing it, and no body knew why. In view of the recent findings, the cause may be that boiling the Lemon kills enzymes present in its rind ( enzyme denaturation), these enzymes may change some ingredients of the Lemon juice, consequently we should keep the juice to be boiled INSIDE the Lemon.


The procedure to prepare the best natural cure of cough is as follows:
1- Fill a can with water and put a middle or big sized Lemon
2- Leave the can to boil for about 10-15 minutes till it bocomes soft but intact
3- Take the Lemon and squeeze it to extract its juice
4- Clarify the juice or filter it
5- Add the juice to 1/2 cup of honey ( or about 60 ml)
6- Some people - including me- add 30 ml ( 2 tablespoonful ) glycerin to the Lemon juice before adding honey
7- Add 1 teaspoon Pantothenic acid powder ( 100% pure calcium pantothenate )*, to the mixture which is now about 100 ml. Pantothenic acid activates the suprarenal gland to secrete Adrenaline (Epinephrin) and Nor-Adrenaline which are crucial in relieving respiratory system complaints.

* Type in Pantothenic acid powder ( you may use the search box of eVitamins on the left). If you prefer to use standardized supplement, search for a liquid vitamin that contains at least 50 mg Pantothenic acid or Calcium Pantothrnate per serving, this dose is used in some European cough products.

Give the kid 1 teaspoonful 3 times a day.

It is guranteed that this mixture cures your kids cough, I have tried it.
