Thanks for posting...

As Eli Lilly states in its AZD page..The causes and cures of AZD are not known at the present time..I think this is an accurate statement..I think the FDA approval of the Biogen drug is a farce...I don't wish to pee in the punchbowl but the idea of a drug with an estimated annual cost per patient of $56K and no proven efficacy should be investigated...

AZD is a degenerative disease...a disease of aging..most of these disorders are related to inflammation..AZD has ties to CVD which is another manifestation of chronic inflammation..As we know there is a hereditary overlap in all these diseases in terms of their age of onset..Which is also effected by lifestyle factors,,,such as diet, stress and enviromental toxins..All factors which effect longevity...Not everyone has a basal body temperature of 98.6* F...If your resting temp is 99.6* F Then like a roast in the oven the higher the temperature the faster the roast cooks. Same thing with pulse rates...In mammals there is a law that says the faster the pulse rate the shorter the lifespan...and there are no exceptions..Just check your dog's pulse rate..

In my own case. I just turned 80...And I can tell my memory is nowhere near as good at it use to be..I go by the "Jeopardy" test..At age fifty there would be only two or three contestants a year on Jeopardy that could beat beat me...Know almost everyone who wins a contest easily trounces me..It's not that I can not dredge up the answers over a period of time in a lot of cases...It's just there is a long delay period before the answer.

Want to avoid AZD...I don't think Biogens $56 drug is going to help you and its not going to help the cost of medicine in the USA. Watch your lifestyle don't smoke and cut down on your food intake and fast acting carbs. Take Vascepa..(I don't own any shares at present..and watch Jeopardy. Exercise for the mind..
