What a blessing this will be if it pans out. At a variety of levels.

A lot of good things are going on at the University of South Florida, especially in the field of Neurology. This is tremendous news coming out of the Byrd Institute.

My mother died of complications of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Although the disease is mostly know for its crippling effect on the joints, the inflammation can affect any part of the body, such as the major organs. When her lungs were affected, she was given massive doses of steroids in one last attempt to keep her alive. The steroids knocked out her kidneys. She died after about a year of dialysis.

Throughout all her agony, she remained sharp as a tack.

Now I see why.

"We were pretty amazed that the treatment completely reversed cognitive impairment in 20 days,"

"Moreover, the recombinant human form of GM-CSF (Leukine®) is already approved by the FDA and has been used for years to treat certain cancer patients who need to generate more immune cells,"

Leukine

Let me get this straight. An ALREADY APPROVED drug might CURE Alzheimers? And since the drug is already approved for human use, it will be easy and cheap to test?

GET THOSE TESTS STARTED YESTERDAY.
