NITRIC OXIDE GAS TRIGGERS ALZHEIMERS  [ back to What's New ]
On radio and TV, one can hear advertisements promoting the use of nitric oxide for health effects. Research published in August 2002 in the Journal Science by the Burhnam Institute in LaJolla, CA, should give us pause. The research showed that buildup of nitric oxide gas in rat brains triggered activation of enzymes that chewed up brain cells in the same manner seen in Alzheimer's Disease, multiple sclerosis and HIV-dementia.
