medical question

i wonder if progressive physical debilitations such as arthritis or macular degeneration correlate with increased incidence of alzheimers disease.

there is the story of the man who was a championship chess player who complained that when he got older he just couldn't see 5 moves ahead any more, he could only see 3 moves, but he was completely normal mentally otherwise. after he died they discovered that he had advanced alzheimers but it seems to have been covered up by how strong he had developed his brain.

what if now he couldn't see the pieces any more, or he couldn't otherwise play chess at all because of a physical ailment. would it be more likely for the alzheimers to set in right then? it seems likely. deserves a scientific study if there hasn't been one already.

health idea

i dont know if this will work but it came to me in a dream last night. a way to cure/relieve asthma symptoms. 1. bring a toothbrush with you 2. do strenuous activites, brush the inside of your mouth and use this to help spit out all the gross stuff. 3. take a break for a couple minutes 4. do these steps 2 more times. 5. breathe easier a few minutes later because the airway is clean. overall this will strengthen the lungs as well reducing asthma symptoms. this came to me in a dream so there is a good chance itis crazy and will not work, but maybe there's something to it.

lyme disease

problem in ny state. lots of ticks around some of which carry lyme disease. reduce the number of ticks reduce the prevalence of lyme disease. ia pill to make our blood or the blood of deer poisonous to them, or a spray on poison (on one's body) could work.
