Here is part of Assoc. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's speech at the 21st Annual Alz Public Policy Meeting 3-23-09 to 3-25-09 (Washington):
Statement of Sandra Day O’Connor Associate Justice, Retired Supreme Court of the United States Before the Special Committee on Aging United States Senate March 25, 2009 [ skip ] (1) We need a major prevention initiative to be developed as soon as possible with the goal of preventing the onset of Alzheimer’s in most people. We believe based on our research and testimony that this can be achieved within a reasonable time with proper funding and support. It will require public/private initiatives and major data sharing for scientific advances......... [ snip ] http://www.alzstudygroup.org/Portals/0/090325_ASG_testimony.pdf Note that O'Connor mentions "testimony." I sure hope someone will finally let those of us who have lots of facts that are being withheld from the public have our chances to speak out. Also, "prevention" is known to be possible, supported by studies [ one example: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=17559686 ] , and is strongly linked to limiting close, chronic, prolonged electric field exposures. Even tho some studies are re occupational exposures, the facts, nevertheless apply to "general public." See my letter below: JOANNE C. MUELLER LETTER TO DR. MARILYN ALBERT, ALZ. ADVISORY BOARD (11 06) http://freepage.twoday.net/stories/3038870/ Without a concerted effort and widespread release of information to the public re importance of prevention, I see no hope in beginning to halt the rapid neurodegenerative decline in large numbers of younger and younger persons! Take care - Joanne |
