- Jericho6, on 11/19/2008, -0/+13They told me to take something for my Alzheimer's, but I forgot what it was

Actually, it does have promise for Alzheimer's diesease. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/sc ...

Not everyone, who smokes pot, is a hippie just like not everyone, who drinks beer, is a fat, lazy, monday night american football watching moron. - Zenham, on 11/20/2008, -0/+11Quiz for Andrew: When pointing out idiocy, being capable of expressing yourself with the proper homophone ensures that ________ not the one looking like an idiot.

C) youbetcha
D) Yangtze - Fishn2, on 11/20/2008, -1/+10Yeah, just get baked instead.
http://digg.com/health/Cannabis_could_stop_dementi ... - bioprez, on 11/20/2008, -2/+10the way these studies are spread on the media is completely misleading...ginkgo has been found in other studies to improve memory in middle-aged individuals...however, the study this report is referring to was done mostly on people around the age of 80. In fact, if you look at the study in more detail, 1300 of the ~1600 participants were around age 80...their brains have already declined in mass and there is no way to regrow the brain once it declines. This study should not be thought of as a general statement about ginkgo, it should say 'Ginkgo doesn't help prevent dementia or Alzheimers in those aged 65 and above'.
- katana2k, on 11/20/2008, -0/+8lots of things don't prevent alzheimers
- bromac, on 11/20/2008, -0/+7This following the story yesterday that the herbal supplement, marijuana, does.
BUT DON'T TAKE IT! It has that horrible side effect, euphoria. - wilbau, on 11/19/2008, -2/+8Oh, forgive, I first read: "Herbal supplement doesn't stop Atheists." Must be freudian ;) or Alzheimers already :)
- L0NER, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6In other news, plastic wrap does not stop pregnancy
- scythe33, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6While Ginkgo bilboa may not stop Alzheimers, it appears that marijuana might:

- smackydoodle, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3Evidently I don't have Alzheimer's because I remember this being on Digg a week or two ago.
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -1/+4Just pop a couple of Viagra's instead. The sweet thing about Alzheimer's is you will never remember how long you've had an erection. If you don't recall a hard-on lasting more than 4 hours . . . then the rules don't apply . . . Bone-on old guys.
- zzzpoohzzz, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2did they figure this out when they found a lot of people couldnt remember where they kept their ginkgo pills?
- inactive, on 11/19/2008, -1/+3That only helps if there is a blood flow issue, not with inflammation or nasty proteins and fats.
- kingmanic, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2RobotBuddha: There were many well informed and very intelligent hippies. Ignorance wasn't the issue. It was the drugs. The drug use made many of them barely coherent and ultimately annihilated the movement.
And a lot that joined later were the idiots you imagine all hippies to be. - inactive, on 11/19/2008, -1/+3But grape seeds might.
- imasuperDOTcom, on 11/20/2008, -1/+3But it does make my private parts bigger!
- egthareal, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2Wait... What?
- lennybird, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2I still don't get why people look down on hippies. The prime principles of a hippie are love, peace, and pot. What's bad about that?
- SHv2, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2oh... so that's why she's late this month... *****
- jwucd, on 11/20/2008, -1/+3Wait, so they're saying leaves from a tree that adapted to a pre-mammalian environment are no more effective in fighting a human disease caused by a prion than a sugar pill? F**k this ginko tea, I'm getting a Coke.
Damn you natural remedies for not...remedying! - VenDrake, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2What's the best thing about Alzheimer's?
A) You're constantly meeting new people.
B) You get to sleep with a different woman every night.
C) You can hide your own Easter Eggs.
D) What was the question? - leerayIG88, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1When can we start inserting tiny nano bots into our blood stream to repair our bodys?
- SHv2, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1You'd think I would have remembered this... *****
- VibhuC812, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Thanks 420buddah. That's what I was trying to get at.
- djholybolt, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1@ kingmanic:
It's from all that acid they dropped in the 60's and 70's. Acid is great and all with what it can do for one's self-conciousness but if you drop it too much then you'll just fry your brain. Leary pushed acid too hard on the generation of hipsters and hippies of that time and age. - ryanonfire, on 11/20/2008, -2/+3Herbal supplements hahahaha
- Leviathan433, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Clearly you have been relying to heavily upon herbal supplements.
- VibhuC812, on 11/20/2008, -2/+3I'm pretty sure it was pot.
- solstice21, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Props
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1No, but if you really need it, you can get phenylpiracetam "over the counter" in the states. It's a prescription nootropic elsewhere, prescribed for, among other things, Alzheimers.
But there is no patent on the chemical structure of the substance and for complicated reasons there can never be---therefore US drug companies don't have any motivation to study it, let alone approve it for use. - bahijahazza, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Alzheimer's link is with the excitotoxins. Avoid MSG. They destroy neurons.
- MisterEThoughts, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1What other studies have been proven false..
- Photonerd28, on 11/20/2008, -1/+2Who ever posted this obviously didn't read the one about weed keeping old head from gettin Alzheimers
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1But it does make my penis bigger and harder.
- djholybolt, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1excellent, sir.
- Leviathan433, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Talk about a no-brainer.
- RobotBuddha, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1There's a fair amount of studies on it in pubmed. I was a big booster for it back in the day, but the evidence for it these days is pretty unimpressive in my opinion.
- leerayIG88, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1like....crack!
- RobotBuddha, on 11/20/2008, -1/+2@lennybird
It's their rabid activism when fueled by total ignorance. I'd say they're even worse than the ultra conservative religious right in holding back technology and upholding an irrational fear of science. - MeatMountain, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1How did this story get on Digg? Does it at least cure cancer?
- lennybird, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1@Robot,
I can understand that aspect; so it's whether most hippies fit that definition or not. Why not just call them extremists or radicals, because it gives the anti-war, old school hippies a bad reputation is all I'm saying. - turkoftheplains, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1You should maybe see a doctor about that or something.
- wildkeith, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Thats strange. It seems to have the opposite effect on my memory.
- jeffjenn, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Wow a simple spice didn't solve a problem that rigorous scientific research has not been able to solve? What a surprise! I'm going to go back to taking my daily multi vitamin and vitamin E while I figure out what this all means.
- socialrebel, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1poke smot
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1You haven't seen the evidence if you've been looking on pubmed. If you can read russian or swedish, I'll point you to the appropriate places.
- absurdist, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Is that you, Zippy?
