Recommendation: “Training and continuing medical education for CFS could make use of the rich base of knowledge that patients with CFS possess.” [Source: Annals of Family Medicine, June-July 2008] |

What initiates the formation of senile plaques? The origin of Alzheimer-like dementias in capillary hemorrhages - Source: Medical Hypotheses, Sep 2008
The proposal that plaques form at the sites of bleeding from the brain's tiny blood vessels explains many things: e.g., why oxidative stress/cardiovascular disease are associated with Alzheimer's, why antioxidants and other vascular-protective factors protect against dementia.

Ionophore compound (PBT2) acts to disperse Alzheimer’s plaques in mouse models, Australian researchers report
Australian brain research collaborative reports that an ionophore compound (PBT2), fed to mice in special tomatoes, reversed Alzheimer's by detoxifying beta-amyloid plaques of zinc and copper, causing the plaques to disperse very rapidly. And recent clinical trials in human AD patients have been "promising." Some observers caution "wait and see." |

Abstract: Evidence of augmented central pain processing in idiopathic chronic low back pain
For many individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP), there is no identifiable cause. In other idiopathic chronic pain conditions, sensory testing and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have identified the occurrence of generalized increased pain sensitivity, hyperalgesia, and altered brain processing, suggesting central augmentation of pain processing in such conditions. |
