Too true - and so easy to get hold of. Not expensive either.

BB, this is a wonderful discovery of science. I used to be an Activities Director with Alzheimers' residents. It is both sad & a ton of fun at the same time. I found that Music also could help to spark alot of electricity going around the brain, & sometimes I used to get some short term memory going briefly, using various Music activities & other artsy activities. The research affects the future of many of us. We surely need to do something soon before the millions of babyboomers hit that phase, as this is going to make the level of care at nursing homes plummet worse than ever due to lack of funds in Soc Security & Medicare.

I recently started a daily dose of B12 & Folic acid, after watching a TV science show in which the reporter took this for 3 months. At the end of that time, he tested to have a reduced occurrence of 'deteriorated white blood cells' - which it is said may be related to 'relative age' and may be an indicator of cancer susceptibility.

I used to take high doses of B12 when I was under much stress at work, and it eased my depression - but it was very expensive and hard to get then. My mood has lifted a lot since starting the tabs, and my feet no longer need a hot water bottle in winter this year.
