*Re: SCD& Changing Minds Statement

Well said, and I for one would still encourage continued

interest in other forms of neurogenesis as well as SSRI's. I would

be interested if Buckley could tell us if he saw any positive

effects in people with DS in India due to consumption of dishes with

turmeric. They say that the incidence of AD either was or is low and

that it may be partly due to turmeric. Many things affect

neurogenesis; for example, lack of sleep can decrease it. About

anything that good for the body is good for the brain. Also,

eliminating bad fats from the diet. adding good fats and also the

products from Body Bio can make a big difference. One thing, I would

not be combining turmeric/curcumin with prozac - probably not a good

idea.
