I’ll be taping the ABC tonight. Too many good programmes competing for the same time slots.

So you can watch SBS ?
>So you can watch SBS ?
Don’t know if I can do that with my vcr, and even if I could, it would need the remote control, which doesn’t work :)

So no?
Those programmes would be well worth a look, as you say, bob. And the sunken cities one earlier.
I’ll wait until they’re repeated :)

I watched Precious on SBS last night. Although I’d been told it was a good movie, I was still surprised when it was…

I started watching but got too sleepy and had to head to bed. It looked good from what I saw.
It was very good. Just when you thought her life couldn’t get any more messed up, she got another whammy.
i’m just not prepared to watch depressing films any more, life can be enough.

A treatment to reverse Alzheimer’s Disease could be available in five years, it has been revealed. Experiments on mice have indicated that a new vaccine not only halts the advance of the disease, but repairs damage already done.
It could also be given to patients whose families have a history of Alzheimer’s, to prevent them developing the disease.
The research by British, American and Canadian scientists, was being hailed last night as the most significant breakthrough yet. Harry Cayton, chief executive of the Alzheimer’s Society, said: ‘This really does make us optimistic.’
A growing number of elderly and even middle-aged people are being struck down by the degenerative brain disease, which has some 500,000 sufferers in Britain alone. It causes untold misery to families who are left to care for loved ones who may no longer recognise them.
The vaccine attacks the build-up of a protein called beta-amyloid, which forms a damaging waxy plaque on brain cells. The latest research, reported today in the scienctific journal Nature, suggests the drug not only removes the proteins but can restore mental functions.

(NaturalNews) A doctor says that taking just four teaspoons of coconut oil per day reversed her husband’s dementia.
Mary Newport is the medical director of the neonatal intensive care unit of Spring Hill Regional Hospital in Florida. In 2003, her husband Steve began showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
“The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are progressive mental deterioration characterized by an inability to carry out daily activities, a loss of cognitive functions, and a loss of memory functions,” writes Tom Bohager in his book Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes.
Alzheimer’s disease is fatal, and has no cure. The various drugs on the market have shown only limited effectiveness at slowing the progression of the disease. Indeed, Newport’s husband continued to worsen even after being prescribed three different drugs.
“Many days, often for several days in a row, he was in a fog; couldn’t find a spoon or remember how to get water out of the refrigerator,” Newport said.
Newport began researching the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease in the hopes of finding alternative treatments. She learned that researchers attribute many of the disease’s symptoms to the starvation of certain brain cells due to an inability to process glucose.
Researchers have wondered if supplying the brain with more energy from an alternative supply known as ketones might prevent this cell death and thereby halt the disease. The easiest way to get the body to produce ketones is to consume medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), a type of fat.
Newport learned that MCT oil derived from coconut or palm kernel oil has shown great promise in treating Alzheimer’s, so she began feeding coconut oil to her husband. Within two days, he was showing signs of improvement. Within 60 days, he was once again alert, happy and making jokes. Within a year, he regained the ability to complete self-directed tasks and to run, and experienced great improvements in reading comprehension and short-term memory.
Scans confirm that the atrophy in his brain has come to a complete halt.
