See, you don't have to kill babies to find a possible treatment and cure for Alzheimer's Disease.  

 Using stem cells from dead babies just does not work and never will, it's not a priority for Alzheimer's Disease Research; it's a priority for the demoncrats, satan, the msm, greedy politicians who will make money from pharmaceutical kickbacks and politicians who will use baby killing juxtaposed with people dying from a disease, confusion with an issue, just to advance their political career.   They want babies to die and people to suffer just so they keep control of their office.   

What seems to work is prevention by exercising, following the Mediterranean diet, using curry powder or curcumin/turmeric, green tea, red wine, keeping the weight down, using NSAIDS like aspirin, etc. 

What seems to be the cutting-edge and experimental treatments for Alzheimer's is gene therapy and drug therapy.  BTW, this disease runs in my family.

It's not "cause celeb." It's "cause celebre." I would expect even a marginally literate "journalist" to know that.

Confused issues? Stem cell research could soon give us a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, right? Wrong

"For people to suggest that [Nancy Reagan] shouldn’t support this because it isn’t Alzheimer's . . that’s very small," a defensive-sounding Reagan responded.

No, ballerina boy, we think that you bozos shouldn't be pimping Nancy's pain and keeping her in the dark so she goes atround looking like an idiot by promoting this research. Got it, princess?

Reminds me of a column by a guy who had debated Chris Reeve on stem cells. He tried to pass Reeve some info on the results of adult stem cell research, and Reeves handlers (outside of Reeves field of vision) physically blocked him from doing so. I think the same sort of thing has been going on with Nancy Reagan for about the last 4-5 years.

I'd also bet twinkle-toes never knew until recently, because he's the kind of person who runs their worldview through an emotion filter instead of getting facts.

Did you guys ever see the Newsradio episode where the Dave character was fighting tooth and nail against that "ironic" crap? Hilarious stuff. Loved that show.

The other interesting aspect of this is that the press keeps saying that the Bush Admin doesn't fund Stem Cell Research. I believe it "didn't" fund the research to the tune of 250M$ THIS YEAR.

When I did research for An open letter To Senator Tom Harkin, D-IA I found out it's about $38 million per year.

Crap, I didn't notice this was a NewsMax thread. Glad I didn't ping it out (see tag for details).
