    I'm skeptical of new age medicine but there is some truth to some of these spices. I think the catch is how it's delivered.

    no prob. Just make sure it has .cn at the end and you can trust it. A tea made of Tiger Gonads will help alleviate the burning sensation of the paste.

    So do we rub the tea on our nads after the paste? Echochuck needs to know, and like RIGHT AWAY...

    Good Question! You cook it down to a powder and snort it through a cinnamon stick. The cinnamon stick is essential. Don't go cheap and use plastic.
    Rolled dollar bills are not hygienic either.

    Studies show that people who suffer from depression or stress are twice as likely to develop certain types of dementia such as Alzheimer’s, and Researchers found that people with a high Vitamin D level were 49 percent less likely to suffer from depression; additionally vitamin D helps prevent dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease.

    IMO, an extraordinary claim (like those given here) requires equally extraordinary evidence. Believe me, I carry around my share of distrust for the medical establishment, but that doesn't mean I go for anecdotal medicine and anything labeled "natural" or "alternative" medicine. I have a friend who does this. She's a good friend, but I've long since given up trying to tell her I'm concerned about what she might be doing to her health by spending a lot of money on remedies that not only may not be helping her, but that might hurt her, too. She makes it clear she doesn't want to hear it. Medicine and the human body are incredibly complex. They can come together in disastrous ways when a practitioner who doesn't know what s/he is doing prescribes any kind of remedy, whether it's a pharma drug or alternative medication. And as someone else said here, if these herbal remedies were so effective at curing conditions like cancer and Alzheimer's, there would be much less cancer and Alzheimer's.

    I work in a medical school, training medical students, and I get to sit in on lectures from time to time. The thing that has really struck home to me is how complex the human body is, and how equally complex evaluating, diagnosing, and treating is. The thing that troubles me about a lot of alternative medicine, or at least how it's presented, is how simplistic the practitioners are about it. There's a lot you have to take into account when someone has an ailment.

    Yes. I get the impression that the OP doesn't know anythings about Alzheimer's & knows even less about the families who suffer. much less about Alzheimer's & those with it. My grandmother died of it & my mother's in the beginning stages. It's horrible & painful . To profit from it with false claims of hope is sick & cruel. . I've got a few early symptoms but I trust my doctor much more than I do some spam on a forum.

    You can find the OP on Facebook and tell him how you feel directly. He looks sane enough.

    Chuck, I apologize for the rudeness of my post. I worry a lot about my mother (who lives in MA on her own, but this will change soon; we have to start looking for a nursing home, long distance.). Your post angered me, but it's not an excuse to talk to you like I did.

    I have a firm belief that ecochuck is part of the conspiracy to enslave us all through the use of propaganda and misinformation.

    i don't care for whacks that talk about things they don't know about...but all i see here mostly are people ripping OP or trying to be funny and not coming back with real info. We do have the internet and can look things up...and i am talking about medical journals not some random person's blog...
    And what does it hurt to ask for your vitamin D levels to be tested? Guess what? my dr ran them on her own and my vit D was quite low. Vitamin D normally is made in the body when we are exposed to sunlight in spring/summer. But we are all pretty much indoors all the time and then adamant to put that sunscreen when out in the sun. And so I add this supplement by prescription.

    And now you're immune to cancer, depression, and acne!

    Grab the orange juice that's been fortified with vitamin D and you'll add an additional 100 IU of the sunshine vitamin to your day with each cup you drink. (Related: Find out how OJ boosts your immunity.)
    Crack an egg. If you like scrambled eggs, you'll garner 20–26 IU of vitamin D per large egg. (Related: Eating eggs could help you lose weight, too.)
