Drug 'can reverse Alzheimer's symptoms in minutes'
This is good news...assuming the FDA will approve the injections. People who suffer from Alzheimer's have little to look forward to anyway. So I don't see where the harm lies.
It's a shame that medical science has been able to extend the life of the body but not of the mind. Maybe this will bring the two closer...
Drug 'can reverse Alzheimer's symptoms in minutes'
A drug used for arthritis can reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer's "in minutes".
The drug, called Enbrel, is injected into the spine where it blocks a chemical responsible for damaging the brain and other organs.
The experiment showed that Enbrel can deactivate TNF (tumour necrosis factor) - a chemical in the fluid surrounding the brain that is found in Alzheimer's sufferers.
