Extraordinary Breakthrough - Alzheimer's Symptoms Reversed in Minutes...

An extraordinary new scientific study, which for the first time documents marked improvement in Alzheimer's disease within minutes of administration of a therapeutic molecule, has just been published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation.

This new study highlights the importance of certain soluble proteins, called cytokines, in Alzheimer's disease. The study focuses on one of these cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF), a critical component of the brain's immune system. Normally, TNF finely regulates the transmission of neural impulses in the brain. The authors hypothesized that elevated levels of TNF in Alzheimer's disease interfere with this regulation. To reduce elevated TNF, the authors gave patients an injection of an anti-TNF therapeutic called etanercept. Excess TNF-alpha has been documented in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's.

The new study documents a dramatic and unprecedented therapeutic effect in an Alzheimer's patient: improvement within minutes following delivery of perispinal etanercept, which is etanercept given by injection in the spine. Etanercept (trade name Enbrel) binds and inactivates excess TNF. Etanercept is FDA approved to treat a number of immune-mediated disorders and is used off label in the study.

THERE IS MORE TO KISSING THAN JUST A SIMPLE SNOG:

Lip Service: 1/ People may use kissing as mate assessment.

2/ Kissing promotes bonding

3/Kissing is simply a way of of inducing sexual arousal.

The Findings: 1/ Woman place more emphasis on the taste and smell of the person they kiss, and were much more likely to refuse to have sex with a bad kisser. Both indicate women use kissing to to make mate assessments.

2/Men were more likely to expect kissing to lead to sex.They were also more likely to want to exchange more saliva during a kiss, perhaps to detect whether a woman is fertile.

3/ Woman were more likely to say kissing was important throughout a relationship, using kissing to create a bond.

ITS THE SAME FOR ALL TONGUES:

1/ About 90% of human cultures kiss to express affection.

2/ One traditional view is that kissing also known as osculation, evolved from women chewing food for their children and giving it to them mouth to mouth, a lot like birds,according to a noted university anthropologist.

3/ She also said similar behaviour was found in many species as I said, birds tap beaks,elephants shove their trunks into each others mouths.

4/She believes kissing is about choosing the right mate. The brain is geared disproportionately towards interpreting signals from the mouth. "Even the lightest brush of a feather on your lips and you feel it intensely", she claimed.

One thing that is certain, is that kissing is unlikely to ever lose its popularity.

The Black Triangle
Mystery - UFO sightings in Britain...

Since 1990 there has allegedly been 4000 sightings of what has been described as the "Flying Triangle", the "Black Triangle" or "Silent Vulcan" over the skies of Britain.

In the early 90's there were apparently similar sightings over mainland Europe - Belgium, France, Holland and Germany; with fighter aircraft being sent up to intercept these alien craft.

The British Government claims the "Black Triangle" UFO is a secret military aircraft and has ordered the BBC and other media not to report on them. Really?

If the sightings are of a secret military aircraft why do they hover over motorways, power stations, graveyards and other areas as though they are looking for something?

All very mysterious and needing some pretty solid research, I would suggest.

Still Burning a Million Dollar Hole in Health Budget! A major criminal problem as well.

Pure methamphetamine ( P ) lab explosions are causing acute burns to be treated at emergency departments in New Zealand public hospitals and ensuing surgery is delaying other surgery and delaying already long waiting lists. Emergency treatment is free in New Zealand as is most other acute treatment.

These burns can actually look like explosive burns. Victims of " P" lab explosions often have flash burns to faces, hands and chests. Making pure methamphetamine involves strong acids, flammable chemicals and extreme temperatures, at about 130 degrees Centigrade.

A 70% burn takes five months of treatment at around $700,000 NZ. Some actually come to hospitals for treatment days after with complications,such as infections etc; costs could be $275,000 each.

What is pure meth. or "P"? It is a more potent form of amphetamine. It can be smoked, eaten, snorted or injected. " Ps " effect on the body is similar to that of the natural chemical adrenaline, but with deadly side effects. Once inside the body it quickly affects the central nervous system, speeding up the heart and increasing blood pressure uncontrollably. While the high from one hit of crack lasts about 10-15 minutes, a " P " high can last for hours. Smoking the Crystal form " Ice", can produce a high for up to 24 hours.Users on the run or a "marathon" taking the drug hits every few hours, go for days on end without eating or sleeping. It is highly addictive and prolonged use results in a permanent alteration of the brains chemistry.

When the effects of the drug wear off, users experience a severe "crash". Some may sleep for long periods, but most users experience what is called " tweaking " or methamphetamine psychosis, a condition similar to schizophrenia - a mental disease. They become paranoid, delusional and stike out at those around them and themselves.They may also have fevers up 108 degrees, which could cause permanent brain damage. With continued crashes the brain damage gets worse and worse.In effect their brains are getting cooked. Police describe them as walking timebombs!

Metamphetamine is produced in makeshift underground laboratories.The people making the drug usually have no scientific background and manufacture it dangerously. The actual strength of "P" on the streets is therefore unknown.

But the costs to our society are definately becoming known through health costs and crime. Some of our worst crime and murders in recent years have been perpetrated by "P" users!

This post is still relevant as the day it was written back in June 2006.

Methamphetamine has really become a major criminal and health problem in New Zealand society. We know it as 'P'.
