  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/ezZII2jLS2c   zaaThose taking anti-hypertensive drugs that cross the blood-brain barrier showed better memory function compared with those on blood pressure medications that cannot cross that barrier.  Neuroscientists at UC-Irvine now publish their meta-analysis of 14 global studies covering nearly 13,000 adults.   Those taking drugs in the ACE inhibitor or the ARB categories showed better memory recall during a 3 year followup period than those taking other blood pressure control medications.  ACE inhibitors included captopril, fosinopril, lisinopril, perindopril, ramipril, and trandolapril.  ARB drugs were telmisartan and candesartan.   These observations suggest that drugs capable of modulating angiotensin and crossing the blood-brain barrier may slow cognitive deterioration and dementia.   https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.121.17049   #dementia #antihypertensives #angiotensin #aceinhibitor #arb #bloodbrainbarrier

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/vcfiQPA_eSs   Seventy-two percent of patients with chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia were able to use CBD to reduce their use of pain medications including narcotics.  This the conclusion from a University of Michigan study that reviewed records of 878 fibromyalgia patients who tried CBD as a part of their therapeutic regimen.   CBD took the place of NSAIDS in 59%, opioids in 53%, gabapentanoids in 35% and benzodiazepines in 23%.  In most cases, this substitution permitted complete discontinuation of these drugs and improved sleep patterns and memory.   This is one of the first studies that shows the chronic pain of fibromyalgia may be controlled with the plant-based CBD in place of sometimes more dangerous medications.    https://www.jpain.org/article/S1526-5900(21)00220-0/fulltext   #fibromyalgia #cbd #analgesics #opioids
