- It is our hypothesis that there is overwhelming
scientific, medical and empirical evidence THAT
it is possible to slow the ageing process, to assist
the prevention of the onset of degenerative diseases and to extend your lifespan
if you avoid the damaging effects of excess
acid and
carbon dioxide
in your body.
- Average humans produce in their cells
a total of half to one kilogram of carbon dioxide per day

Marked Increase in Alzheimer's Disease Identified in Medicare Claims Records Between 1991 and 1999 -- Taylor et al. 59 (7): M762 -- Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences
- Epidemiologic evidence suggests
that African Americans have higher rates of Alzheimer's disease
(AD) than do whites
- Age-adjusted rates of Medicare beneficiaries
identified as having AD rose from 19911999 for all groups
studied, but particularly among African Americans. In 1991, African
Americans made up 6.5% of the identified AD cases but comprised
11.0% of cases in 1999
- Reasons for increased identification of
AD in Medicare claims is likely multifactorial; sharp increases
among African Americans may reflect improved access.

Spread Of Diseases Climate Change
- Animals and insects can change their behaviors and expand their
geographic range in response to changes in the climate and other environmental
influences, experts said Tuesday.
- "Infectious diseases are a moving target," said microbiologist Rita
Colwell of the University of Maryland. "As climate changes, so do infectious
diseases."
- Flu is a winter disease in North America, but occurs year-round in
the tropics.

18% of all boomers expected to develop Alzheimer's
- Americans are developing Alzheimer's at an accelerating rate
- 70% of people with Alzheimer's
and other dementias live at home, where friends and family members pitch
in to help them, often at great cost
- In 2007, nearly 10 million Americans ages 18 and older provided
8.4 billion hours of unpaid care to Alzheimer's patients care valued
at about $89 billion.
- The coming Alzheimer's epidemic will, if left unchecked, put a huge
strain on the health care system, including Medicare. In 2005, Medicare spent
$91 billion on Alzheimer's and other dementias, and spending could jump to
$160 billion by 2010 and $189 billion by 2015.
