I heard Brit Hume the other night reading a quote from a research organization(?) that stated, Stem Cell to cure
Alzheimer's is a "fairie tale."
I believe the embryonic stem cell argument is just a pro abortion fantasy science argument. There is an organization that is using umbilical cord stem cells that are pretty close, don't involve death, and no one is concerned about the morality. But the funny thing is...It doesn't make the news!
Why is that?

Just heard it said last night, Nancy ALWAYS made certain RR ate a PROPER healthy diet.
When Nancy didn't travel with him, he indulged in lots of sweets.
Hot fudge sundaes were his favorite and he would scape the bowl clean.
Also, the doctor that diagnosed RR's Alzheimer's disease said the reason RR lived for ten years was because he was in good health.
However! The disease isn't what he died from, no one dies from it, in RR's case, he had broken his hip, didn't recover and he got pneumonia. That's what killed RR.
I don't know stem cells from root cells, but I've been a caregiver for 11 years and I know alzheimers and they ain't got a dam thing for it except hope!
10 years ago they said in about 10 years, 10 years from now it'll be in about 10 years.
All these research clowns do is throw a bone now and then to keep the research dollars coming. Consistently they claim a related medical find although unrelated to their supposed research.
Fund an alzheimers cure and BAM , , 10 years later they discover viagra, new implant material, and a pill to help you drink more without gettin' drunk, yeah that's helpful.
In the mean time, Mom talks to the woman in the mirror and I take 60 mgs of prozac a day to deal with it.
Do the French have a lower incidence?
Kerry and the other Rats are going to try to make stem cell research a campaign issue, hoping to exploit the death of Ronald Reagan, and all of the attention given to Alzheimer's' in the past week. (How much did Kerry say on this subject prior to President Reagan's passing?) Leave it to them to see the loss of this Great Man as an opportunity for political gain.

Please don't confuse the liberals with facts........they've already made up their minds.
| Alzheimer Drugs Don't Work |
| The modest benefits received from the drugs used to treat Alzheimer’s disease are causing doctors to second-guess prescribing them to patients to treat memory and cognitive problems. While advocates of the drug remain hopeful, others have expressed their doubts on the effectiveness of these drugs. Conflicting opinions from the experts ranged from prescribing the patients the drugs for six to eight weeks, then quit if there was no sign of improvement, to prescribing the drugs for a six-month period. Startling statistics on Alzheimer’s disease:
Researchers are continuing to search for new treatments, however there doesn’t appear to be a cure in the near future. Even though some research has shown improvements after taking the drug, the changes aren’t significant enough for the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval. Presently the four drugs being used to treat Alzheimer’s disease include Aricept, Exelon, Reminyl and Tacrine. Each of these drugs was found to raise levels of acetylcholine, a chemical that sends nerve signals to the brain. A fifth drug, Namenda, targets a different neurotransmitter and was approved for moderate to severe cases. Several doctors expressed their concerns that hundreds of millions of dollars are being wasted on these drugs. Families continue to rely on medications for their family members, out of fear that if they stop the medication, their family member might experience a sharp decline in the disease.
