zaaThose taking anti-hypertensive drugs that cross the blood-brain barrier showed better memory function compared with those on blood pressure medications that cannot cross that barrier.  Neuroscientists at UC-Irvine now publish their meta-analysis of 14 global studies covering nearly 13,000 adults.

Those taking drugs in the ACE inhibitor or the ARB categories showed better memory recall during a 3 year followup period than those taking other blood pressure control medications.  ACE inhibitors included captopril, fosinopril, lisinopril, perindopril, ramipril, and trandolapril.  ARB drugs were telmisartan and candesartan.

These observations suggest that drugs capable of modulating angiotensin and crossing the blood-brain barrier may slow cognitive deterioration and dementia.

More than half of teens and twenty somethings afflicted with the mildest cases of CoVid continued to suffer from lingering symptoms more than 6 months following their infections.  Norwegian infectious disease researchers report this finding from their study of 61 patients aged 16 to 30 years treated at home and in-hospital.

Ninety-four percent of the young adults did not require hospitalization.  Even so, at 6 months, 52% had lingering symptoms of any type, 28% had smell and taste disturbances, 21% had fatigue, 13% were short of breath, 13% had problems concentrating, 11% had headaches, and 11% had memory issues.

 Even the mildest CoVid cases can be devastating.  Get vaccinated and prevent tragedy.

Seventy-two percent of patients with chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia were able to use CBD to reduce their use of pain medications including narcotics.  This the conclusion from a University of Michigan study that reviewed records of 878 fibromyalgia patients who tried CBD as a part of their therapeutic regimen.

CBD took the place of NSAIDS in 59%, opioids in 53%, gabapentanoids in 35% and benzodiazepines in 23%.  In most cases, this substitution permitted complete discontinuation of these drugs and improved sleep patterns and memory.

This is one of the first studies that shows the chronic pain of fibromyalgia may be controlled with the plant-based CBD in place of sometimes more dangerous medications.
