Coconut Oil vs. Curcumin: The Verdict

October 19, 2012 | John Schappi, Parkinson's and Me

After months researching the claim that coconut can treat Alzheimer’s disease, I posted a wrap-up report yesterday. Most of the hype comes from anecdotal reports, not careful science. Even the Alzheimer’s Association concludes that the coconut oil assertion is bogus.

Alzheimer’s and Coconut Oil: The Bottom Line

October 18, 2012 | John Schappi, Parkinson's and Me

My blog’s traffic statistics show that the most-visited post by far is my February 12. 2012 report on claims that coconut oil is a remedy for Alzheimer’s. That post has been viewed three times more often than any other. My second “most popul…

Two Sleeps Each Night May Be Better Than One

October 16, 2012 | John Schappi, Parkinson's and Me

I’ve often mentioned that my favorite part of day now is the time I spend “meditating” around 5am. Only part of that time is spent in traditional breathing-in, breathing-out meditation. I stretch and do muscle tensing-and-relaxing exercises, while sea…

Stem Cells: the Promise, the Cost, the Future

October 15, 2012 | John Schappi, Parkinson's and Me

I like seeing the latest news about stem cell research. The amazing technology certainly won’t extend my own 83-year-old life beyond its estimated 90 years, but who knows what impact the science may hold for my kids, grandchildren, and great grandki…

More on "The Art of Aging"

October 12, 2012 | John Schappi, Parkinson's and Me

I’ll end the week with a post about John Lane’s wonderful book, The Art of Ageing. He was a Brit born in 1930, a year after me. Painter, writer and educationalist, he was also chairman of the Dartington Hall Trust, founding director of Beaford Arts Centre, and instrumental in the creation of Schumacher College.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature;

beautiful old…

Diabetes Drug: Another New Hope for Alzheimer’s?

September 26, 2012 | John Schappi, Parkinson's and Me

I often worry about the time I spend on the computer researching and writing this blog. But I just joined my housemates in the rec room, intending to ride my exercise bike and watch TV with them. My housemates were watching one of the endless “amateur…

Michael J. Fox to His Kids when They Complain: “A Lady Had a Baby in a Tree!”

September 21, 2012 | John Schappi, Parkinson's and Me

Parkinson’s may be a bit more idiosyncratic than most diseases. But I don’t believe there’s any condition where “one size fits all.” Drugs and rehabilitative therapies can create as many individual, specific results as there are people who use them. For that reason, it’s vital we assume active roles in managing our own health care.

How to Resolve Our Fiscal Crisis: Don’t Let Anyone 60 or Older Vote in this Election

September 18, 2012 | John Schappi, Parkinson's and Me

I originally planned to title this post “Our Entitlements Make Me Richer and My Children Poorer.” But I changed it after reading Bob Laszewski’s excellent analysis of both parties’ Medicare reform proposals, which I summarized last week. Here’s ho…
