Alzheimer's

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

I will quickly note that I just read an article in the local (town)

newspaper about someone here who believes he has cured a number of

people of Alzheimer's. He is a retired research chemist, not a

physician, and his approach is entirely via nutrition - but I do not

know the details.

He is presently setting up a small local study in the hope it will

produce some serious evidence. I spoke to him on the phone and he

has promised to keep me up to date on progress.

Of course we should all remain highly skeptical about this. But over

the phone this fellow sounds like someone who may be worth paying

attention to. I mention it in case Alzheimer's is relevant to anyone

here. If so, and if you would like to remind me in a few months to

check the status of the study, please feel free.

Rodney.

You are Aunt Lottie to my daughter and Mama Lottie to our group. There seems to

be alot of water in my eyes right now....I think I'll blame it on the

gleevec...which does sometimes cause my eyes to water. You always give me and so

many others comfort. Blessings to you , dear Lottie.
