"Soy, Fish Oil May Protect Against Alzheimer’s-Study", Reuters,
September 1, 2004,
Link: http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml?type=healthNews&storyID=61…

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in soy, fish and other oils and known to
provide a range of health benefits, may help protect against
Alzheimer’s disease, U.S. researchers reported on Wednesday.

Tests on mice showed that a diet high in one particular omega-3 fatty
acid called DHA helped protect the brain against the memory loss and
cell damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

"We saw that a diet rich in DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, dramatically
reduces the impact of an Alzheimer’s gene, said Greg Cole, a professor
of neurology at University of California Los Angeles school of
medicine.

Writing in the journal Neuron, Cole and colleagues said they studied
mice bred to have genetic mutations that cause brain lesions
associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

They were looking for something else but noticed the mice did not have
the expected memory loss or brain damage. Notably, the synapses, the
connections between brain cells, were not as damaged as would be
expected.

"We discovered that the mice lived on a nutritious diet of soy and
fish — two ingredients chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids," said Sally
Frautschy, who worked on the study.

"Because earlier studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may prevent
Alzheimer’s disease, we realized that the mice’s diet could be
countering the very thing we were trying to accomplish — showing the
progression of the Alzheimer’s-related brain damage," she added in a
statement.

The researchers took the fish and soy out of the mouse diet and
substituted safflower oil instead, which is low in omega-3 and rich in
another fatty acid called omega-6, which does not include DHA. Some
mice got the original diet and others got the new, less-healthy diet.

"We found high amounts of synaptic damage in the brains of the
Alzheimer’s-diseased mice that ate the DHA-depleted diet," Frautschy
said. "These changes closely resembled those we see in the brains of
people with Alzheimer’s disease."

Mutant mice on the DHA-rich diet did better on memory tests than the
mice fed safflower oil, the researchers said.

"After adjusting for all possible variables, DHA was the only factor
remaining that protected the mice against the synaptic damage and
memory loss that should have resulted from their Alzheimer’s genes,"
said Cole. "We concluded that the DHA-enriched diet was holding their
genetic disease at bay."

People are already advised to eat omega-3 fatty acids to protect the
heart.

DHA and a related fatty acid called AHA are also added to some infant
formulas and milks to promote brain development. They are found
naturally in human breast milk.

Bush’s National Guard File Missing Records

18 minutes ago
Sept 5 2004

By MATT KELLEY, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON – Documents that should have been written to explain gaps in
President Bush’s Texas Air National Guard service are missing from the military
records released about his service in 1972 and 1973, according to regulations
and outside experts.

For example, Air National Guard regulations at the time required commanders to
write an investigative report for the Air Force when Bush missed his annual
medical exam in 1972. The regulations also required commanders to confirm in
writing that Bush received counseling after missing five months of drills.

No such records have been made public and the government told The Associated
Press in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that it has released
all records it can find.

Outside experts suggest that National Guard commanders may not have produced
documentation required by their own regulations.

"One of the downfalls back then in the National Guard was that not everyone
wanted to be chief of staff of the Air Force. They just wanted to fly or
maintain airplanes. So the record keeping could have been better," said retired
Maj. Gen. Paul A. Weaver Jr., a former head of the Air National Guard. He said
the documents may not have been kept in the first place.

Challenging the government’s declaration that no more documents exist, the AP
identified five categories of records that should have been generated after
Bush skipped his pilot’s physical and missed five months of training.

"Each of these actions by any member of the National Guard should have
generated the creation of many documents that have yet to be produced," AP
lawyer David Schulz wrote the Justice Department Aug. 26.

White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said there were no other documents to
explain discrepancies in Bush’s files.

Military service during the Vietnam War has become an issue in the presidential
election as both candidates debate the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Democrat John Kerry commanded a Navy Swift boat in Vietnam and was awarded five
medals, including a Silver Star. But his heroism has been challenged in ads by
some veterans who support Bush.

The president served stateside in the Air National Guard during Vietnam.
Democrats have accused him of shirking his Guard service and getting favored
treatment as the son of a prominent Washington figure.

The AP talked to experts unaffiliated with either campaign who have reviewed
Bush’s files for missing documents. They said it was not unusual for guard
commanders to ignore deficiencies by junior officers such as Bush. But they
said missing a physical exam, which caused him to be grounded, was not common.

"It’s sort of like a code of honor that you didn’t go DNF (duty not including
flying)," said retired Air Force Col. Leonard Walls, who flew 181 combat
missions over Vietnam. "There was a lot of pride in keeping combat-ready
status."

Bush has said he fulfilled all his obligations. He was in the Texas Air
National Guard from 1968 to 1973 and was trained to fly F-102 fighters.

"I’m proud of my service," Bush told a rally last weekend in Lima, Ohio.

Records of Bush’s service have significant gaps, starting in 1972. Bush has
said he left Texas that year to work on the unsuccessful Senate campaign in
Alabama of family friend Winton Blount.

The five kinds of missing files are:

_A report from the Texas Air National Guard to Bush’s local draft board
certifying that Bush remained in good standing. The government has released
copies of those DD Form 44 documents for Bush for 1971 and earlier years but
not for 1972 or 1973. Records from Bush’s draft board in Houston do not show
his draft status changed after he joined the guard in 1968. The AP obtained the
draft board records Aug. 27 under the Freedom of Information Act.

_Records of a required investigation into why Bush lost flight status. When
Bush skipped his 1972 physical, regulations required his Texas commanders to
"direct an investigation as to why the individual failed to accomplish the
medical examination," according to the Air Force manual at the time. An
investigative report was supposed to be forwarded "with the command
recommendation" to Air Force officials "for final determination."

Bush’s spokesmen have said he skipped the exam because he knew he would be
doing desk duty in Alabama. But Bush was required to take the physical by the
end of July 1972, more than a month before he won final approval to train in
Alabama.

_A written acknowledgment from Bush that he had received the orders grounding
him. His Texas commanders were ordered to have Bush sign such a document; but
none has been released.

_Reports of formal counseling sessions Bush was required to have after missing
more than three training sessions. Bush missed at least five months’ worth of
National Guard training in 1972. No documents have surfaced indicating Bush was
counseled or had written authorization to skip that training or make it up
later. Commanders did have broad discretion to allow guardsmen to make up for
missed training sessions, said Weaver and Lawrence Korb, Pentagon (news – web
sites) personnel chief during the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1985.

"If you missed it, you could make it up," said Korb, who now works for the
Center for American Progress, which supports Kerry.

_A signed statement from Bush acknowledging he could be called to active duty
if he did not promptly transfer to another guard unit after leaving Texas. The
statement was required as part of a Vietnam-era crackdown on no-show guardsmen.
Bush was approved in September 1972 to train with the Alabama unit, more than
four months after he left Texas.

Bush was approved to train in September, October and November 1972 with the
Alabama Air National Guard’s 187th Tactical Reconnaissance Group. The only
record tying Bush to that unit is a dental exam at the group’s Montgomery base
in January 1973. No records have been released giving Bush permission to train
with the 187th after November 1972.

Walls, the Air Force combat veteran, was assigned to the 187th in 1972 and 1973
to train its pilots to fly the F-4 Phantom. Walls and more than a dozen other
members of the 187th say they never saw Bush. One member of the unit, retired
Lt. Col. John Calhoun, has said he remembers Bush showing up for training with
the 187th.

Pay records show Bush was credited for training in January, April and May 1973;
other files indicate that service was outside Texas.

A May 1973 yearly evaluation from Bush’s Texas unit gives the future president
no ratings and stated Bush had not been seen at the Texas base since April
1972. In a directive from June 29, 1973, an Air Force personnel official
pressed Bush’s unit for information about his Alabama service.

"This officer should have been reassigned in May 1972," wrote Master Sgt.
Daniel P. Harkness, "since he no longer is training in his AFSC (Air Force
Service Category, or job title) or with his unit of assignment."

Then-Maj. Rufus G. Martin replied Nov. 12, 1973: "Not rated for the period 1
May 72 through 30 Apr 73. Report for this period not available for
administrative reasons."

By then, Texas Air National Guard officials had approved Bush’s request to
leave the guard to attend Harvard Business School; his last days of duty were
in July 1973.

Hi, I wonder if you good people could help me please.

I have been taking a lot of exercise recently (last 3 months) whereas
previously I was a bit of a couch potato. I walk between 2 and 5 miles every
day, pretty vigorously by my standards.

Just in the last week, my knees have started to hurt a lot.  Both legs, but
right is worse than my left. It’s just below my knee cap, and it really
hurts if I get out of a chair or walk upstairs. I am very overweight – 17
stone – and I have lost 20 lbs, so I guess I might have some joint damage. I
am seeing my doctor in a couple of days time.

In the meantime,  I am really missing my daily walks.  Can anyone suggest an
exercise regime that will not put so much strain on my knees, please? I have
tried swimming, but the movements I make hurt my knees, and besides that my
swimming is not good enough to provide some serious exercise.

Thanks

Geoff
