 I Mean Super Huge! All of us oldies have that nagging hunch we are heading for Alzheimer'sville. It's one of the slowest ways to die -- and it tortures your family, drains your savings and is in general giant pain in the ass  brain. SUDDENLY there is another ray of hope!  And it's from a very credible source, nature , the prestigious Brit science journal. New hope for Alzheimer’s: lithium supplement reverses memory loss in mice OK, mice. But this is just one piece of the evidence -- the latest and a very important piece of research -- but there are numerous documented observational studies showing that lithium takers (bi-polar folks for instance) have much less AD.  And get this: Lithium "slows brain aging in general." There's not much detail on this yet, but I'd say that's a good thing. Orotate!!   Not just any lithium works, apparently only LITHIUM OROTATE, a reasonably priced supplement, does the job.  This article is a little vague on the dosage...

See? I Told You to Bone Up on Senolytics [OK, this is more mouse research... but exciting!] Published Wednesday, 19 September in Nature Magazine ... one of the Super Journals (meaning they are as credible as they come, science-journal-wise), a paper based on research done at Mayo Clinic , a pretty good outfit.   Published:  19 September 2018 Clearance of senescent glial cells prevents tau-dependent pathology and cognitive decline If you keep up on Alzheimer's research, you recognize "tau-dependent," and if you don't, you surely know about cognitive decline. That and memory loss are the heart-ripping Alzheimer's symptoms we'd all like to avoid.  If You Are Interested in the Science Put your science hat on and take a look at the abstract (free) in Nature . Or read a (also free) layperson version.  Here's a short one (written for Big Pharma money men).                           ...

KLOTHO!                                                                               OLD                                                                          YOUNGER Remember that. K-L-O-T-H-O.  Sounds like a laundry product, but it's another step in the longevity ladder.   More to come. (If you can't wait, and feel comfortable reading dense science, go here . Otherwise, I'll be back with my patented dumb-down-to-my-level trick pretty soon." I'M BACK!  ("Big deal," I hear you say.)  Taking a media merger approach, I put an expanded explanation of what Klotho is all about on ...
