Memory And Old Age
Would you deny Alzheimer patients the right to have their memory impairment reduced by age-old political lies?
But a 2008 Ohio State University study found that marijuana can reduce brain inflammation and perhaps reduce memory impairment that could delay Alzheimer’s disease.

OH NO MY LIFE IS REDUCED TO RUBBLE. SOMEONE SAID I AM NOTHING WITHOUT WEED. I guess something became nothing, and that nothing is doing something. Seems faulty logic.
This is misleading journalism at its best.
We do not know, or even have any supporting evidence to suggest, that the mechanism behind the onset of Alzheimer’s dementia is related to inflammation of brain tissue. The study links THC to inflammation, not the reduction of memory impairment.
I don’t have a problem with pot. But when you make these idiotic arguments you sound like you’re grasping at straws. Why not make your case based on what we know, like chemo-related nausea, glaucoma, or the fact that people aren’t shooting each other in the streets over pot, or the fact that countries where marijuana use is legal or tolerated, like the Netherlands, have not fallen back into the dark ages?
Also BC: Doesn’t the best ganja come from Canada these days? I never really saw our neighbors to the north as a band of bloodthirsty warmongers.

Baby Einstein – Baby Mozart – Music Festival $13.92 It’s called “the Mozart Effect,” the notion that exposing youngsters to the melodies of the maestro can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory. It’s a pretty big leap of faith to understand that effect unless you personally see a toddler react to the stimulation. The Baby Einstein folks have a series of tapes (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) that add visual stimulation to … |

Age Old Friends $4.78 When his wife died, John Cooper (Hume Cronyn) came to the Twin Pines Retirement Home instead of moving in with his married daughter, Julia (Tandy Cronyn) and her family. Cooper fights against growing old by keeping his mind young–and his sarcastic wit sharpened. Each day, he looks forward to trading good-natured barbs with the housekeeper, Mrs. Baker (Esther Rolle), flirting with young Nurse Wilson (Michele Scarabelli) and best of all, visits from his best friend and fellow resident Michael Aylott (Vincent Gardenia). But Aylott’s memory is starting to slip, and he depends on Cooper more than ever. When Julia tries once more to convince her father to leave Twin Pines, Cooper is faced with a difficult choice–life in suburbia with his daughter and grandson, or staying behind to help his age old friend. |

Age-Related Memory Loss: 20 to 100 Years – A Research Study of Healthy Adults $258.21 What happens to memory during the ninth and tenth decades of life? The research conducted by Dr Lamont challenges the earlier perception that a linear decline occurs from about 40 years of age until late old age. On the contrary, the linear theory was found to be inaccurate for many types of memory. There is good news for those in the 50-70 age group, and beyond that startling variations in memory abilities were found in this study of healthy adults from 20 to 100 years of age. The rapidly aging population will make these findings critical in future planning. Clinicians, legislators, researchers, decision makers in the fields of town planning, retirement, health and community services, and care of the elderly will find the research outcomes fundamental in planning for rapid growth in the 85+ sector of the population. Understanding how this age group will be able to function in society is crucial to the retention of independence and quality of life for our oldest citizens. |

Aging Among Japanese American Immigrants $125 Aging is inevitable. Every individual experiences life’s pathos of diminishing strength, flexibility, beauty, roles, relationships, and memory. On the other hand, aging is a group experience that differs from culture to culture. Especially in multicultural societies like the United States, aging differs from one ethnic group to another. The Japanese American elderly, who are perceived as a model minority, are no exception to this differentiation. Aging among Japanese American Immigrants explores the ethnic dimensions of aging among Japanese immigrants in the United States. Due to the successful assimilation of Japanese (Issei) and Japanese Americans (Nisei and Sansei) into American society, they have not been perceived as a discrete age group that needs social support or special health care. Their aging experience, however, is essentially dissimilar to that of white ethnic elderly. Most of the Issei and Nisei are now old men and women who relish Japanese ethnic food and croon Japanese songs in Japanese. It is apparent that the elderly are forced to re-synthesize themselves and transform their social and cultural involvement based on their ethnicity. The ethnographic research explores the ethnic dimensions of aging among Japanese and Japanese-American elderly in the United States, and illustrates their acculturative aging process and the parallel diminishment of culture-deculturative process. |
