so matt and i had our "date night" last night. we had good eats at the cheesecake factory (shrimp tacos and portabella mushroom sandwich with summer roll appetizer) and read over some interesting research side by side in the booth. it was pretty cute :) The article was a study of rheumatoid arthritis being treated with folic acid, B6, and various meds vs control group. They tested for changes in immune system response (no significant changes) and for levels of cells that cause inflammation (significant changes noted). This being said, I am really glad I am taking B6, as it is shown in the research to help deter inflammation in the joints!!! (and with my neck and hip injury, I can use that help). I plan on encouraging everyone to supplement with it, especially sonbanon, unless you already are taking it! (I will send you the article if you like)
i heard from Ornella, the neuroscientist that I was working with who is now in Vienna. One of the projects that I helped her with is being considered for publication, which would be a great bonus for my application to the pharmacy program! We'll see how it all unfolds; I might have to reapply the next year. As Ornella says about neuroscience, this is a good study of my own motivation and determination, as our brain works harder and actually receives a stronger reward for a task that have to struggle a bit with, wha hahaha....
not sure if i should laugh or cry? ;)
