Viagra may be useful against Alzheimer's dementia

[Mito]

The Cleveland team found:

• High doses of the drug (larger than a person would normally take) increased brain cell growth and reduced protein accumulation in lab studies of human tissue
• People on sildenafil were less likely to develop Alzheimer's than those not taking this medication, based on personal medical data spanning six years and involving more than 7.23m individuals

"While these data are interesting scientifically, based on this study, I would not rush out to start taking sildenafil as a prevention for Alzheimer's disease."

If 'proven', the findings would directly contradict Ray's stated belief: "drugs that are intended to increase the effects of nitric oxide (asparagine, zildenafil/Viagra, minoxidil/Rogaine) and acetylcholine (bethanechol, benzpyrinium, etc.) should be avoided". This in relation to cognitive degeneration specifically, which he sees as influenced by colinergic/parasympathetic dominance, which in turn correlates with increased formation of nitric oxide.
