This study was released simultaneously with another, in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.plosone.org\/article\/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0009979\">PLoS One<\/a>, which confirmed the results of the first in a different group of mice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Also from the link:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Rapamycin has already been approved by the FDA to treat organ rejection in transplant patients. That means doctors could start prescribing it for the &#8220;off label&#8221; use of treating Alzheimers tomorrow. The researchers are still not sure if the drug would reverse the effects of Alzheimers, or simply block them. But for millions of people suffering the effects of Alzheimers, that question may be moot.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7194\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com&#038;blog=2464417&#038;post=7194&#038;subd=davidkirkpatrick&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; research has determined a bacterial byproduct that was found in the soil of Easter Island provides longevity in mice, and two\u00a0separate\u00a0studies showed reversal of Alzheimer&#8217;s symptoms.
