Fish oil reviewed

A new study about the impact of Fish Oil on Alzheimer’s is underway.
Researchers are concentrating on how the fish oil helps with brain blood flow and how it affects key proteins related to the development of Alzheimer’s, particularly amyloids.

Is the end of Alzheimer’s near?
Alzheimer; News from the web:
More research will need to get done but for now, at least the mice have found a cure for Alzheimer’s. It involves removing one enzyme in the brain. This cleared out all the amyloid plaques which is often seen as the main cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Some other studies though, suggest that working on the amyloid plaques is the wrong target and they may not be the eventual cause for Alzheimer’s.
In any case, even if this new development would be transferable to humans, it will take another five to seven years before we could see it in doctor’s hands for treatments.
It is a long road, we continue to monitor its progress.

Now they will help you with your lifestyle
Alzheimer; News from the web:
The Institute for Systems Biology is taking a swing at one of the most widespread and puzzling diseases in the United States: Alzheimer’s.
ISB along with Seattle startup Arivale, both founded by genomics pioneer Lee Hood, want to see if lifestyle coaching combined with biometric data can prevent the advancement of Alzheimer’s, or even reverse early symptoms of the disease.
The organizations are teaming up with Providence St. Joseph Health, the Pickup Family Neuroscience Institute and Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian to conduct a 200-person, two-year clinical trial to test the approach. The trial is called Coaching for Cognition in Alzheimer’s (COCOA).
