The objective of this novel form of cancer therapy is to eliminate entirely malignant cells from the body through a process of attrition. Tumour necrosis in vivo is achieved by targetting the mitochondria of the malignant cell. An unusually high degree of selectivity is introduced into cancer treatment, as well as a fundamental paradigm shift. The tumour-necrotising action of endotoxin is simulated by a phenothiazine acting as sole anti-cancer principle. Seven anti-neoplastic manifestations of phenothiazines are listed; aspects especially relevant to the clinical treatment of cancer are discussed. The candidate drug appearing most suitable on various grounds, not the least of which is a striking selectivity of action, is promethazine (Phenergan)
At first glance it sounds far out to link Alzheimer's disease (AD) to an apparently harmless over-the-counter analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Paracetamol, is called acetaminophen in the U.S. and Canada, and often sold under the brand name Tylenol. In Australasia, Africa, Asia, Europe and Central America Panadol is the most widely available brand.
As opposed to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen, which reduce pain and inflammation mainly by local action, paracetamol has recently been shown to work mainly by affecting the brain where it blocks the reuptake of analgesic cannabis chemicals or endocannabinoids. This only reduces pain without improving inflammation. It also gives us an indication as to why paracetamol is more likely to be associated with a degenerative brain disease than NSAIDs with their mainly local mode of action and anti-inflammatory properties.

I am sorry, but I doubt this is real. His claims are real I am sure but the ability of Tylenol to work on Alzheimers no.
My mother takes Paracetamol every day, but her Alzheimers is only getting worse.edit on 15-3-2014 by Grimpachi because: (no reason given)
