A drug used to induce labor in pregnant women has been shown to reactivate tiny waste-clearing pumps in the brains of old mice. The finding could hold promise as a new way to fight Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and overall cognitive decline. newatlas.com/health-wellbei...

This is of interest because the microglia clean up excess alpha synuclein In the intercellular space. A mutation known to interfere with this process causes Parkinson's. So better circulation of the CSF might be helpful to reduce that load.

A few years back I read several books about Energy Medicine. In each of the books, one of the things you could do was the following: spread the fingers and thumb out wide on one hand. With the other hand massage, the area between the thumb and pointer finger. Don't just be on the outermost part of the web that is only skin, but where you can feel the muscles and tissues. Repeat for the other hand.

In each book when they described the above massage, they warned to NOT do this if you are pregnant because it might bring on premature labor. So, maybe this is a drug free way that we can improve the drainage of dirty CSF starting today!

😮❗Systemic adverse reactions to prostaglandin F2 (PGF2 alpha, dinoprostone, prostin F2 alpha, prostalmon F): pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/696....

"Prostaglandins are mainly used in clinical medicine for midterm abortion and to terminate pregnancy. Systemic adverse reactions include nausea and vomiting, which occur in approximately half of the patients and, to a lesser extent, diarrhea. Although bronchospasm occurs infrequently, PGF2 should be avoided in asthmatics. Cardiorespiratory failure culminating in prolonged coma and death has been reported. Moreover, convulsions and EEG changes have been observed in a comparatively small number of cases."
