    An Hour of Light and Sound a Day Might Keep Alzheimer’s at Bay

    Li Huei Tsai, who runs a lab at MIT, inspired by 2 of her graduate students, decided to see whether the robustness of gamma waves in the brain showing alzheimers pathology,could be increased by exposure to light. To do this, she enlisted the help of Ed Boyden, also of MIT and one of the...

    Lilly says Alzheimer's drug slows clinical decline in mid-stage trial

    I posted this around Christmas but I have a feeling it was lost in the usual late December distraction, this year made even more intense by Covid. https://www.s4me.info/threads/an-hour-of-light-and-sound-a-day-might-keep-alzheimer%E2%80%99s-at-bay.8614/#post-311780 post 13 There have been...

    An Hour of Light and Sound a Day Might Keep Alzheimer’s at Bay

    I’ve been following Cognito Therapeutics for a couple of years, waiting to hear more about the progress of its Gamma 40 hz study on human subjects with Alzheimer’s. Well, it seems they have appointed a new CEO, which portends good developments are on the horizon. (Cognito Therapeutics was set...

    Blog: Your silence is killing M.E. by Anil van der Zee

    https://www.statnews.com/2020/07/21/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-keys-understanding-post-covid-syndrome/ A couple of thoughts: Asking for proof of a change of heart by Fauci is futile, particularly at this moment in American life, where he serves as a touchstone for science. Admitting he made an...

    The biology of coronavirus COVID-19 - including research and treatments

    Merged thread Contracting Covid 19 twice: It’s not better the 2nd time around But these more recent reports sound more rigorous and detailed. I recently saw a report from a respected physician (the Vox author notes this report too) in New Jersey who said he’d found two cases of reinfection. In...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Chagrin that it's come to this, or just that he's really completely new to saying Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in public. Perhaps, he should stand in front of a mirror in gradually increasing temporal increments and practice until he can say it with confidence. Yes

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    A few months ago, I listened to a conversation between Ian Lipkin and Vincent Racaniello about his experience of being sick with covid 19 and his thoughts about the current state of play of the pandemic as well as his thoughts about the future. He mentioned m.e. in a context I don't recall...

    Larry Kramer

    A couple of corrections. Kramer was a catalyst, a match that lit a fire that became Act Up, a political grassroots movement that consciously operated as a collective. This representation of Larry Kramer as the pivotal individual in the transformation that Fauci speaks of is not accurate. Many...

    Trial of CT38 for ME/CFS by Cortene Inc.: big claims being made...

    I wish I could be as sanguine as you. The model of "learned helplessness" that van Elzakker believes they are using coupled to an ostensibly effective treatment, will strand us in an inappropriate category and kick open the door to the truly moronic "bodily distress syndrome", giving this hell...

    Berkeley Wellness: When Medical Symptoms Are Dismissed as "All in Your Head" (David Tuller interviews Maya Dusenbery)

    I agree that the primary problem was that M.E. did not obey conventional signs and indices of disease. But it was no accident that the disease was stranded in the nowhere of the ORWH, which is a Potemkin village, run by the NIH, organized as a deliberately inadequate sop to the demand for more...

    What the Gardasil Testing May Have Missed

    A couple of other questions for me are: do vaccinations pose a risk once you are sick; and as a corollary to what @Woolie wrote is it more the proverbial straw or an emergence of an occluded latency, the tiger that was ready to spring Of course, the article, implicitly,describes the failure of...
