Alzheimer's research scandal? Researchers from Swedish Karolinska institution may have found an all new pharmaceutical treatment for Alzheimer's disease, but the drug company Apodemus have been keeping results secret. An Alzheimer's treatment is worth billions, and researchers are threatened...

GregK: Never intended to come off being disrespectful. I am also a MMJ proponent but we are far behind in Sweden on this issue so the wheels turn a bit slowly. Diane H: Not allowed to post links here but try googling "Harmine stimulates neurogenesis of human neural cells in vitro". (Effects...

Then perhaps you should ask yourself why it is that such a word triggers that emotion in you. Psychedelics does not have to equal all the negative things that some people have come to associate them with. It's not the 1950's anymore (thank god). Remember how cannabis was once stigmatized? Today...

Article from Beckley Foundation website Scientists find that Ayahuasca stimulates neurogenesis - the birth of new brain cells – latest findings from the Sant Pau Research Programme Our collaborator Dr Jordi Riba presented these ground-breaking results at the Interdisciplinary Conference on...

I feel ALS research in general has for decades been a lot about discovering "mechanisms" behind it, and less about actually applying those findings to manufacture a pharmaceutical drug that works (not counting unimpressive Riluzole), but I suppose that's the cynic in me talking. I know trials...

It's a shame more than a few doctors have the attitude that if ALS reverses, it must have been a case of misdiagnosis. In their sceptic-oriented mind, the definition of ALS is a disease that simply cannot go into remission. Which is flawed thinking the way I see it, but then again I don't have a...

From KTH, Sweden:

Beware of what? And how does it relate to this post?

What's your take on liver flushing? (A.k.a liver cleanse) Some swear by it, others say it's nothing but a fad and that it doesn't (and cannot) do anything to improve liver function. As with any topic, there is a lot of debate on the web where proponents from both sides argue. In case you are...

Studies do suggest Cannabis having several "normalizing" or "re-balancing" effects on a cellular level, in a number of internal biological functions. Thus, I think it's not far fetched to believe that Cannabis could then be applied to ALS research not only in terms of improving quality of life...

True, at this point it is all strictly theoretical, but it's not just taken out of thin air - but built on some initial research and anecdotal evidence. It goes without saying that studies cannot suggest anything before they have been done, and the intent of this project is to make that happen...

This is a new and expanded version of the article with images and with updates on the ALS treatment pilot project: Ayahuasca – Ethnobotanical medicine for potential treatment of ALS By Daniel Gustafsson This article is the culmination of six years work, having studied ethnobotanical...

Based on the strong response to my original article, discussions has led to the launch of a pilot project. (Sorry, the link was edited out). The project webpage and the original article can be accessed by typing "als pilot project wordpress" into google.

Thank you, I'm in good company, no doubt. I just posted a long update to my original thread in the research news forum. You may have to edit it due to the linking policy again - the wall of text had to be copypasted from my notepad notes, containing some links. I can only hope for your...

UPDATE: Natural ALS Treatment Pilot Project Natural ALS treatment trial in progress – Current number of participants: 4 (Sweden, United States, Brazil) Based on the strong response to my discussions has led to the launch of a pilot project in order to create the incentive necessary for...
