I may have heard that before, but it’s hard to remember where.

Curious as to how making the non-thinking head bigger helps with dementia.

NIH huh ?

They seem to be interested in all things sexual. Wonder if they also supplied Viagra to kiddies.

This same NIH ...

a taxpayer-funded
National Institutes of Health
study recruited boys (and girls who identified as boys) as young as 13 to report their sexual behavior on a mobile app without parental consent. The Washington Free Beacon reports:

NIH-funded

researchers at Columbia University

offer up to $275

to gay and transgender boys, between the ages of 13 and 18, to document their sexual activity on MyPEEPS Mobile, including whether they have “condomless anal sex.

Viagra release nitric oxide into the blood stream where it narrows arteries and cause blood to flow faster.

Eating large amounts of spinach has also shown to do the same thing and actually help distance athletes to improve their times by 3%-5%

Laz, now we know why your mind is so extraordinarily sharp and clear !

But what about the 4 hour thing?

” seek existing drugs that could potentially be repurposed”

So ya can do it for an old man to get a boner, but Hydroxy and Horse Paste are not to be looked at for off-label use, to maybe save millions of lives?

OK. That seems like “Science” to me.

^^^^^-— Is just here to ready witty comments.

Correlation is not causality, and “associated with” is deliberately confusing. It’s possible that the people who don’t have dementia are more interested in sex than people with dementia. Those who are interested, take viagra. The others have bigger worries and don’t take viagra.

So more sex for them, but they will now also remember it.

researchers grew neurons from stem cells derived from AD patients. Exposing the cells to sildenafil led to increased growth of neurites, which connect neurons to each other

This is the s*t. Ordinary cells could be reverted to juvenile stem cells and then be used to fill in the gaps in nerve tissue caused by degeneration or aging.

This and other advances imply folks can be healthy and hearty up until the molecular clock runs out somewhere just before age 130. With suitable application of cash you could get a cellular renovation and cruise on for another 100 years, and so on. Makes interstellar travel possible, yay.

Is it the Viagra, or the endorphins caused by the nooky enabled by the Viagra?
