SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Popular anti-aging drug combo caused severe brain damage in mice
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260526022024.htm
A drug combo widely explored for anti-aging may actually damage the brain, according to new mouse research showing severe loss of myelin and changes linked to “chemo brain.” Surprisingly, the damaged cells resembled those seen in multiple sclerosis, giving scientists a new lead in understanding—and potentially repairing—the disease.

Today is my #MSiversary. 11 years ago today I was officially diagnosed with #MultipleSclerosis. While I’m sad I didn’t plan to take the day off work, I am happy to celebrate my latest MRI showing no new lesions! I might even be able to slow down my infusions. Feeling pretty grateful.

GOWER: ‘Jayne is a fast walker — and I can keep up with her now’ — how a Kittle man’s Parkinson’s trial is helping him stride out again
Malcolm Sims and his wife Jayne love walking with friends. But after his Parkinson’s diagnosis, Malcolm found himself shuffling rather than striding — struggling to keep up, his foot feeling as if it were stuck to the ground.
“I was referred to physiotherapy and then neurology, who sent me for a CT scan,” said Malcolm, 75, from Kittle in Gower. “We really weren’t expecting the doctor to tell us it was Parkinson’s. It hadn’t even crossed our minds.”
Around 60% of people with Parkinson’s experience at least one fall a year — and falls cost the NHS over £1 billion annually. For many patients, the slow shuffle, freezing and loss of confidence that come with the condition mean a gradual retreat from the active life they once knew.
Malcolm was determined that wouldn’t be his story. A former science teacher, he made himself a promise when he got his diagnosis: he would take part in any research he was offered.
“Scientists are always looking for ways to improve things,” he said. “When I was diagnosed, I said I’d get involved in any research I was offered, so when we saw this I thought, I’ll give it a go. It might help other people too.”
That research was the STEPS II trial at Swansea Bay University Health Board — a study investigating whether a small electrical device called the ODFS Pace, already used by stroke and multiple sclerosis patients, could improve walking in people with Parkinson’s.
Malcolm was taught to attach small sticky pads to his lower leg. Once in place, a switch in his shoe triggered a small electrical impulse, stimulating the common peroneal nerve to make the muscles lift the foot more normally.

The improvement in his daily life has been significant. Malcolm can now keep pace with Jayne on their regular walks — and has been able to carry on going to the gym.
“As time has gone by I’ve really noticed an improvement,” he said. “Jayne is a fast walker and I can keep up with her now. It’s made it much easier to keep active.”
What researchers found particularly striking was a “carry over” effect in some patients — where muscles moved more normally even when the device was not being worn. Lorna Tasker, Head of Rehabilitation Engineering at Swansea Bay University Health Board and one of the trial’s principal investigators, said the team hoped to see the full results published soon.
“We have 20 years of delivering this service to Multiple Sclerosis and stroke patients and hope that once published the results will give us a clearer understanding of how it may benefit people with Parkinson’s, as well as help to prevent falls,” she said.
The STEPS II trial was funded by a Medical Research Council and National Institute for Health and Care Research partnership, with contributions from Health and Care Research Wales. It was one of more than 800 clinical research trials delivered across Wales in the last year.
Wales’ Chief Medical Officer, Professor Isabel Oliver, said the scale of research activity across Wales was something to be proud of — and paid tribute to every patient who had taken part.
“By taking part in research, you are shaping your own care and helping to improve health and services for future generations,” she said.

For reference, I pay about £80 for 2 month’s supply of oil, plus £50 consultation fee every 6 months. That’s a private clinic, so it would be a lot cheaper for the NHS to supply and, I’d argue, would actually save money. It’s political, isn’t it? They won’t allow it to be prescribed because it’s political.

I used to be on a disease modifying drug that cost ££££ a month on the NHS. I’m not on that anymore, but they still aren’t able to prescribe a perfectly legal and proven therapy. Why??
The law was changed by Theresa May, and it perhaps won’t surprise you to learn that her husband is one of Europe’s biggest investors in cannabis cultivation.
Make it available, FFS.

I have #MultipleSclerosis which causes muscle spasms in my legs that keep me awake. I take drugs to try and control this: baclofen, gabapentin. None work as well as cannabis. It’s legal in this country, but next to impossible to get on NHS prescription. When I finally convinced my neurologist to write me a (private) prescription, the estimated cost for 2 months supply was nearly £1000. I now use a private clinic at a fraction of that cost, but it’s absurd.
