I serve on the Community Advisory Board (CAB) to Alzheimers Disease Research Project (ADRP) for Keck School of Medicine’s (USC) Memory and Aging Center (MAC). The combined acronym becomes CAB-ADRP-USC-Keck-MAC….see if your memory can handle that….
ADRP has launched a study of Resveratrol for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: http://adrc.usc.edu/ongoing-treatment-studies/resveratrol/
An article describing many of the suspected health benefits of Resveratrol can be found at:

If you or somebody you know is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease, the ADRP needs your participation. ADRP also needs people for control groups who are not suffering from Alzheimer’s. The following link shows how you can get involved in this critical research:

Alzheimer’s ought to be a feminist issue. Projected rates of Alzheimer’s disease show women to be not quite at twice the risk of men to develop the disease during their lifetime.
By age 65, 9.1% of American men versus 17.2% of women are predicted to contract Alzheimer’s. By 85, the figures rise to 12.1% for men and 20.3% for women.
In 2010, an estimated 5.1 million Americans had Alzheimer’s. By 2050, the raw number is expected to rise to 13.2 million. It is critical that the world find treatments and/or cures for this epidemic.
About Jan Tucker
The Detectives Diary is an innovative tool combining Private Investigation and Journalism. In 1984, Steve Harvey's Los Angeles Times "Around the Southland" Column entitled Jan Tucker's program of providing low-cost "Opposition Research" services to indigent and working class candidates for public office, "Take Cover: Hired Mudslinger Rides into Town." A 1996 Los Angeles Times article by Henry Chu carried a sub-headline identifying Tucker as a "P.R. Guru." In November 2012, Tucker became Criminal Justice Columnist for Counter Punch Magazine and a commentator for Black Talk Radio.
As a private investigator since 1979 and a former First Vice President of Newspaper Guild Local 69, Tucker takes these skills to a new level in the pages of the Detectives Diary with insightful and unique exposures and analysis of history and current events.
