The “aged garlic extract:” (AGE) and one of its active ingredients S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) as potential preventive and therapeutic agents for Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Curr Med Chem. 2011; 18(22): 3306-13
Ray B, Chauhan NB, Lahiri DK

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the older people and 7(th) leading cause of death in the United States. Deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, hyperphosphorylation of microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT), neuroinflammation and cholinergic neuron loss are the major hallmarks of AD. Deposition of Aβ peptides, which takes place years before the clinical onset of the disease can trigger hyperphophorylation of tau proteins and neuroinflammation, and the latter is thought to be primarily involved in neuronal and synaptic damage seen in AD. To date, four cholinesterase inhibitors or ChEI (tacrine, rivastigmine, donepezil and galantamine) and a partial NMDA receptor antagonist (memantine) are the only approved treatment options for AD. However, these drugs fail to completely cure the disease, which warrants a search for newer class of targets that would eventually lead to effective drugs for the treatment of AD. In addition to selected pharmacological agents, botanical and medicinal plant extracts are also being investigated. Apart from its culinary use, garlic (Allium sativum) is being used to treat several ailments like cancer and diabetes. Herein we have discussed the effects of a specific ‘Aged Garlic Extract’ (AGE) and one of its active ingredients, S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) in restricting several pathological cascades related to the synaptic degeneration and neuroinflammatory pathways associated with AD. Thus, based on the reported positive preliminary results reviewed herein, further research is required to develop the full potential of AGE and/or SAC into an effective preventative strategy for AD.

Resolved Question: I had a vision of my future, seeking opinions?

This vision has been driving my crazy for the last few weeks. And I know I must call it a vision (and not just a dream) as it seems so purposeful, intense, and meant directly for me. Both times it has happened I was sitting in my room reading (a book about sushi btw haha don’t think it affected the following…)
I had a very short and fuzzy version of it near the beginning of the month, and I had a much more intense and clear recurrence of it last Saturday. I might as well of been living it in reality, that is how strong the latter was and I remember it as nearly a true event. Let me tell you about my vision.
~~quick foreword about myself. 22 years old, near finishing culinary school~~
In my vision I am standing in a plain room. Dark carpet, walls with wainscoting. Quite suddenly I am looking a 30-something woman on the other side of the room. A woman who I quickly realize is myself! This older me is wearing a doctorate graduation gown.
She then walks towards me stops only a few feet away. At this point I am still in shock and wondering what the hades is going on. This older self then addresses me with a very stern voice and near angry-mother sort of look. “You are selling yourself short. Have you forgotten who you were, who you are, and who you always shall be?”. She then produces (and God knows where from…) a framed Ph.D degree… with my name on it!!! She hands it to me and I hold it in front of me.
At this point I rebuttal something about having to start over (again). She doesn’t even bat an eye and says “The path you are on is all fine and dandy, but you have the gift of your intelligence… use it! … Or else!.”
When she said “Or else!” the Ph.D. bursts into flames and disintegrates into ash in my hands in seconds.
At this point I come back to reality with a start, darn near falling out of my chair. My opinion of this whole thing is that I should forget my past and go to school for Anthropology (an idea I batted around in the past), get my doctorate (6-8 years!), and have my career be in that field.
I have always loved history, artifacts, and bones. Anthropology can cover all of those things. I am smart (tested IQ range 130-145). I hope I could get my degrees faster than normal.
PS. It is not like I am unhappy with my current path, but I am unsure of it. I only have 1 career goal in the culinary field and will not settle for anything but. That was turning into fear of not achieving my goal, which is getting so stressful I was thinking getting hit by a bus in a few years might be easier. There are multiple careers in the anthropology field that I can see myself happy doing. All that stress I mentioned earlier is gone when I think about this path.
The title of Chef can be taken away. Getting to be called Dr. Wallace can not if I achieve Ph.D. status.
I’ve been a little iffy on the whole God thing lately… but I’ve been asking the universe for answers and then this happened. I think God and I may be on speaking terms again.
