Experimental Drug Targeting Alzheimer's Disease Shows Anti-Aging Effects (nextbigfuture.com)
schwit1 writes with news that researchers at the Salk Institute have found that an experimental drug candidate aimed at combating Alzheimer's disease has a host of unexpected anti-aging effects in animals. Says the article:
The Salk team expanded upon their previous development of a drug candidate, called J147, which takes a different tack by targeting Alzheimer's major risk factor–old age. In the new work, the team showed that the drug candidate worked well in a mouse model of aging not typically used in Alzheimer's research. When these mice were treated with J147, they had better memory and cognition, healthier blood vessels in the brain and other improved physiological features.
"Initially, the impetus was to test this drug in a novel animal model that was more similar to 99 percent of Alzheimer's cases," says Antonio Currais, the lead author and a member of Professor David Schubert's Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory at Salk. "We did not predict we'd see this sort of anti-aging effect, but J147 made old mice look like they were young, based upon a number of physiological parameters."

Ok that was amusing.
Niggers are very amusing, as long as they don't live in your neighborhood. If they do, you're fucked. Get used to seeing cop cars with lights blaring at all hours of the night, listening to lard-ass single mothers screaming FUCK YOU to their toddler kids, neglected pit-bulls barking loudly at all hours of the night because they're tied to a tree and forgotten about for days at a time, and scary violent-looking young men visiting at all hours of the day next door. Oh then your own kids who are raised in a responsible loving household ask you why people act that way, what the word "cunt" means and why they keep yelling it, etc. Yay for Section 8 housing!
... until it happens to you. Remember that. Some of you just aren't going to understand certain things until you get affected by them. Pontificating about political correctness is easy when you don't have to live with the fallout. How many of you would cry and complain about what I said (while never disproving any of it, of course, because you can't) but would never consider moving to someplace like downtown Harlem? Yeah, that's what I thought. The worst kind of cowards are the ones who condemn others for not adhering to beliefs that they themselves are unwilling to even try and practice.
The expansion of Section 8 Housing into white suburban neighborhoods == the belief that tossing several rotten apples into a big barrel of good apples is somehow going to repair the rotten apples. No. The few rotten apples are going to lower the value of all the good apples because you, in your moronic idealistic stupidity, failed to recognize and protect their value. This is nature. Nature doesn't care what you think is fair or equitable. Nature just is. Destroying the good and highly-ordered has always been much easier than reforming the shitty and disordered. It's physical law. We call it entropy. It's the way of things. If you don't like it, take it up with Science or the Creator God or whatever it is you believe in. The wise accept this and learn to work with it. The stupid pretend like it doesn't apply to them if they just wish real hard.
It's an offensive internet troll
