A new study released Monday shows that insulin applied daily through a special nasal spray might be a treatment that slows or stops the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. That’s hopeful news for millions facing the memory-robbing disease, because nothing has been successful at halting its awful progress.

In the small study, called a Phase II, researchers from the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System in

Well, they better flush all their copies of the study right down the toilet.  This is a government funded institution and our tax dollars funded this (through the VA)?  Well, Prof. Craft, if that is your real name, there are libertarians on this site from your general area and they will be keeping an eye on you.  No more of that government research helping people.

Dr. Craft’s work has also been expanded to test novel therapeutic approaches to the treatment of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease. In a VA-funded study, she examined the efficacy of insulin-sensitizing agents on the progression of AD. The results of that study are very promising and are serving as the basis for a large multi-center trial.

From my perspective, however, from the idea that the use of government funds for medical research is a legitimate function of government, i say way to go Prof. Craft!

There are, but just so you know..there is no link to the article in your post.  You need to post a url with posts of this type.

Why do you hate the US Constitution?......

i don't.  Why do you assume that everyone who does not share your understanding, such as it is, of the constitution "hates the constitution"?

The source I used was transitory and is probably gone by now as it appeared in what amounted to a daily journal.  If you are so concerned then look up the topic with google and knock yourself out.

If you or anyone else think that I have made up the post then you also need some nasal spray. 

If you are so mentally challenged that you cannot make a working link out of msnbc.com, then you need more help than I can give you.
 
Given the way you pervert the intent and meaning of most of what other posters bring to the forum, then fuck you if you cannot take a joke.

ivanm, it is illegal to post snippets from articles without posting the link with it, just as it is illegal to post an entire article.  Pepsi has also made that one of the rules, and since he is the one that is held responsible, it might be wise to start posting links.

What a great story though.
