Red face my son just called and told me about this...
and I have to wonder.

While it looks promising, I have doubts. We don't really know what other
things TNF does in the brain/body.

This experiment is based on the data that potent NSAIDs like Indocin retard
Alzheimer's progression. But these factors also perform other functions in the body and altering them is not understood yet well at this time.

Remicade was always a less popular drug for RA..because it required IV infusions.
I would like to see other data, before getting excited about this one. Sorry.

Default Not new to me
This drug isn't new to me. It was the first TNf blocker they put me on for the Rheumatoid. I now have to take one of the sister drugs, Humira. I take it and methotrexate. It is the only thing that has controlled my RA since the knee surgery.

I wonder if this means I won't be having Alzheimer's??

I don't have it in my family. At least not the ones that are living.

Interesting article. But I wonder why the news hasn't snatched it up.
