SUBJ: . Only 10% of people over 70 have cognitive decline
SUBtitle: Caffeic acid has been found to suppress osteoclasts and build bone strength
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.”

SHORT NOTES:
- AARP: Only 5% of people 75-79 actually have cognitive decline. Only 10% of people over 70 have it.
- A recent study found that the brains of middle aged humans contained roughly 0.5% plastic (Drinking plastic bottled water is a source.)
- Robot can help rehabilitate stroke patients using speech, facial expressions, and gestures to guide and coach patients and improve outcomes.
- 29 patients showed new treatment for colorectal cancer eradicated tumors in 65% of patients and prevented surgery for most.
- Papaya to treat cystic fibrosis
- The results of 10 independently conducted clinical trials suggest that ketogenic diets have a positive impact on the cognitive function of Alzheimer’s disease patients [1].
- Caffeic acid, which is found in coffee, tea, fruits, vegetables, and some extracts, has, among other positive effects, been previously found to suppress osteoclasts and build bone strength..
- Among adverse health conditions in older people with Atrial fibrillation, multimorbidity appears to be a significant determinant of adverse clinical outcomes.
LONG NOTES:
AARP: Only 5% of people 75-79 actually have cognitive decline. Only 10% of people over 70 have it.
A recent study found that the brains of middle aged humans contained roughly 0.5% plastic–far more than any other organ analyzed. It also found that brains of people that died from dementia contained up to 10 times more plastic than non-demented brains. The 0.5% figure is astonishingly high and the link to dementia suggests a possible causal association. (Drinking plastic bottled water is a source.)
Robot can help rehabilitate stroke patients. Ben Gurion University researchers published the first long-term study of stroke patient rehabilitation using Socially Assistive Robots (SARs). The robots used speech, facial expressions, and gestures to guide and coach patients and improve outcomes.
Early results of a study at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center of 29 patients showed new treatment for colorectal cancer eradicated tumors in 65% of patients and prevented surgery for most. Combined immunotherapy and chemoradiotherapy substantially improved survival and quality of life.
Papaya to treat cystic fibrosis? Israel’s ODE Pharma has discovered that a molecule, code named ODE-001 and derived from the papaya fruit, reduces inflammation and deterioration in organs adversely affected by cystic fibrosis. One scientist who originally suggested the molecule is Nobel laureate Aaron Ciechanover.
The results of 10 independently conducted clinical trials suggest that ketogenic diets have a positive impact on the cognitive function of Alzheimer’s disease patients [1].
We have recently published new information on what triggers the imbalance between bone-destroying osteoclasts and bone-building osteoblasts. This is a well-known problem with aging, and researchers around the world have looked into ways of rectifying this imbalance. Caffeic acid, which is found in coffee, tea, fruits, vegetables, and some extracts, has, among other positive effects, been previously found to suppress osteoclasts [1], including in a rat study [2]. These researchers have previously modified caffeic acid into N-(4-methoxyphen) methyl caffeamide (MPMCA), a compound that they have found to be more effective than regular caffeic acid in protecting the liver against oxidative stress [3]. Therefore, they conducted this study in order to determine if it could also be more effective in suppressing osteoclast activity
