- lennybird, on 02/08/2009, -0/+6My dad literally has no cartilage in his knees and no ACL in one knee, plus obvious arthritis pain (we suspect rheumatoid). Doctor said he'd be in a wheel chair by age 50, well that's come and gone - low and behold, no wheel chair (Somewhat thanks to grass). Says it's basically a constant toothache in both his knees. So this is good news for him or upcoming generations.
Not sure if this directly applies to him, as since there's no cartilage to regrow.... - sayguh, on 02/08/2009, -0/+5Good.. now start harvesting those immortal jellyfish
- Wakkyweed, on 02/08/2009, -0/+5I'm going to take a couple of jellyfish and use them as kneepads. Maybe then I'll get some relief from my old football injuries.
- 1longtime, on 02/08/2009, -1/+6"The concept behind Prevagen was discovered by a university researcher trying to find a way to help a family member afflicted with a neurodegenerative condition."
...and they never mention the name of the university or the mysterious university researchers name. Here's one more important quote:
"These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration."
Nice try. - DigitalisAkujin, on 02/08/2009, -0/+4read the ***** article
- zomgflamer, on 02/08/2009, -0/+4Take that PETA!
- sfduchamp, on 02/08/2009, -1/+4you're an idiot, bigsteve
- Myztry, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3I thought mice were the standard 'guinea pigs'. I suppose rabbits are larger look-a-likes. So kangaroo's next?
- elitedw, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3Jellyfish in a pill, time to buy stocks.
- Wakkyweed, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2Bigsteve, I dugg you up once just so that I could digg you down twice. You are either a troll or a moron.
- bxzcd, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2Jellyfish and weed. Sounds like a good combo to me.
- liuite, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2jellyfish salad...oyishi
- xCIone, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2Nice=)its interesting
- zbeast, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2Blob kittens
- Meocross, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2Soon jellyfish will be on our dinner plates.
*shrike shrike* - nicoboy, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1Thats really interesting. I never thought that spongebob could be a serial killer.
- diggforworld, on 02/08/2009, -1/+2Jellyfish FTW!
- cielya, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1Insert hilarious mental image. Awesome.
- Dollfacekilla, on 08/24/2009, -0/+1You can't patent a natural substance. That means, if this stuff can't be duplicated by synthetic means you can expect the pharmaceutical industry to ignore it completely.
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1Just because the claims on bee stings were debunked doesn't mean jellyfish fits in the same category.
- absurdist, on 02/08/2009, -0/+1I'm... just... speechless...
- KingGorilla, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1Immortals... we'll put their name to the test
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -1/+1Interesting.. I decided to look into this supplement, assuming it wasn't just spam, and to my surprise there might actually be something to this.. It's common knowledge that calcium plays a crucial role in one's CNS. The mechanism of action of it's active constituent, a protein named aequorin (btw, not the same protein mentioned in the article which pertains to joint cartalage health) is that it increases the binding of calcium ions in one's neurons, which in turn (in both theory & according to what limited clinical evidence is available, from impartial sources and not the manufacturer) causes a mild to substantial (depending on the dosage & individual) increase in cognition, memory, thought clarity, and may also possess anti-depressant properties due to it's mild stimulant-like effects asA well as it's ability to improve neuronal transmission. I might just give this supplement a go and see how it affects me, personally, if I can find a brand that is reasonably priced. The cost of this particular brand seems a little excessive, and not worth the cost if I'm not even 100% certain how it will affect me.
- Myztry, on 02/08/2009, -1/+1I don't think extracts are that easy to patent, and jellyfish often reach plague proportions.
I've been in a boat surrounded by giant jellyfish about 3 foot apart from each other for miles in every direction. They looked like these guys except blue. Hundreds of thousands of them.

- dragon76, on 02/08/2009, -2/+1It's more about buying stock in the company that is trying to synthesise it. You can get acetylsalicylic acid from Willow bark and spearmint but Bayer found a way to synthesise it with petroleum.
- borschwanger, on 02/08/2009, -2/+0bzzzzz
- frosted, on 02/08/2009, -3/+1Didn't they also believe that bee stings were healthy at one point too?
This is all bunk. - inactive, on 02/08/2009, -8/+3Wait...so you're telling me that the supplement that I've been taking the last five years has been protecting my brain and joints. Wow! I love jellyfish.
