This goes to the same point made in the last post to this thread:
QUOTE: ...The new study--a collaborative effort by researchers in Germany and the US--shows that an anti-inflammatory drug (called CNI-1493) may have the same effect. The drug--already tested in humans for the treatment of inflammatory diseases--protected nerve cells against amyloid beta --induced damage in culture. In mice prone to developing an Alzheimer's-like disease, the drug decreased brain inflammation and improved memory and cognitive function.
Other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, have been shown to reduce Alzheimer's disease lesions in the brains of rodents, but CNI-1493 appears to be faster and more effective... UNQUOTE.
