Tiny, long-lost primate rediscovered in Indonesia

Reuters – This undated handout photo shows a creature called a pygmy tarsier, believed for the eight decades to …

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – On a misty mountaintop on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, scientists for the first time in more than eight decades have observed a living pygmy tarsier, one of the planet's smallest and rarest primates.

Over a two-month period, the scientists used nets to trap three furry, mouse-sized pygmy tarsiers -- two males and one female -- on Mt. Rore Katimbo in Lore Lindu National Park in central Sulawesi, the researchers said on Tuesday.

They spotted a fourth one that got away.

The tarsiers, which some scientists believed were extinct, may not have been overly thrilled to be found. One of them chomped Sharon Gursky-Doyen, a Texas A&M University professor of anthropology who took part in the expedition.

"I'm the only person in the world to ever be bitten by a pygmy tarsier," Gursky-Doyen said in a telephone interview.

"My assistant was trying to hold him still while I was attaching a radio collar around its neck. It's very hard to hold them because they can turn their heads around 180 degrees. As I'm trying to close the radio collar, he turned his head and nipped my finger. And I yanked it and I was bleeding."

The collars were being attached so the tarsiers' movements could be tracked.

Tarsiers are unusual primates -- the mammalian group that includes lemurs, monkeys, apes and people. The handful of tarsier species live on various Asian islands.

As their name indicates, pygmy tarsiers are small -- weighing about 2 ounces (50 grammes). They have large eyes and large ears, and they have been described as looking a bit like one of the creatures in the 1984 Hollywood movie "Gremlins."

They are nocturnal insectivores and are unusual among primates in that they have claws rather than finger nails.

They had not been seen alive by scientists since 1921. In 2000, Indonesian scientists who were trapping rats in the Sulawesi highlands accidentally trapped and killed a pygmy tarsier.

"Until that time, everyone really didn't believe that they existed because people had been going out looking for them for decades and nobody had seen them or heard them," Gursky-Doyen said.

Her group observed the first live pygmy tarsier in August at an elevation of about 6,900 feet.

"Everything was covered in moss and the clouds are right at the top of that mountain. It's always very, very foggy, very, very dense. It's cold up there. When you're one degree from the equator, you expect to be hot. You don't expect to be shivering most of the time. That's what we were doing," she said.

From The Desk Of: Dr. Scott Saunders, MD
15 year Medical Veteran, Natural Health Advocate And Medication Reduction Specialist

Watch Dr. Saunder's video introduction here.

Dear ADD/ADHD Parent,

It’s a nightmare, isn’t it?

Watching as your child tries so hard to concentrate, gets frustrated and careens off into another hyperactive tantrum . . . receiving call after call from exhausted and angry teachers . . . feeling that pit of shame and concern in your stomach as you watch grades slip further and further . . . lying awake at night wondering (and with good reason) about the horrible, lasting effects of ADD/ADHD medications . . . feeling guilty . . . feeling like a failure . . . . feeling judged . . .

My Name is Dr. Scott Saunders, M.D . . . .

And if you’re going through what I just described, I want to assure you, you are not alone.

In my 15 years as a medical doctor I’ve met hundreds of families and individuals forced to deal with the terrible effects of ADD and ADHD . . . and have watched in horror as millions of children have been prescribed dangerous, expensive and ineffective drugs designed to “fix” them . . . but that have no long term benefit at all.

And in my experience, every ADD/ADHD family has one thing in common . . .

A desperate desire to escape from the ADD/ADHD nightmare and go back to a time when things were calm and normal . . . to escape the cycle of drugs and to finally regain a sense of control.

Perhaps your child has just recently been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD and you’re smartly scouring the internet looking for sound, proven advice on how to manage or cure this problem and give your child all the advantages he or she deserves in life . . .

Perhaps you’re an ADD/ADHD “veteran” who’s tried drug after overpriced drug and cure after ineffective cure, has seen the mounting body of evidence against pharmaceutical ADD/ADHD drugs and is worried sick about what this “bad medicine” is doing to your child.

Perhaps you yourself are a teenaged or adult sufferer of ADD or ADHD searching for a way to find the concentration and focus you need . . . and are ready to finally say goodbye to the side effects, cost and danger of prescription drugs.

If you fit any of these categories, then this will be one of the most important messages you ever read.

Why?

Because in just a moment I’m going to tell you the truth about the dangerous drugs being doled out by greedy pharmaceutical companies and let you in on a safe, natural and effective way to cure your or your child’s ADD or ADHD without drugs

In fact, when you finish reading this short letter, I guarantee that you’ll find yourself dashing down the path towards regaining control, getting back to normal and saying goodbye to the turmoil and hyperactivity . . . the shame and guilt for good.

Sound good? I think so too.

But before I do, let me just set one thing straight.

Despite what the greedy pharmaceutical companies who have made a billion dollar industry out of ADD/ADHD would have you believe . . .

ADD/ADHD Is Not A Disease And You Can’t Cure It With Drugs

As a doctor, it makes me mad.

It seems like every day I read some new statistic about the “plague” of ADD and ADHD sweeping across this country . . . and about more and more children being forced to take dangerous prescription medications to “deal” with their ADD/ADHD . . . medications that have been shown again and again by study after study to retard growth . . . to cause nausea and allergic reactions . . . to cause a slew of mental disorders . . . and, in some extreme cases, to even cause death . . .

But I can assure you that ADD/ADHD isn’t a disease at all.

What Is ADD/ADHD And What Causes It?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder--more commonly referred to as ADHD--is a developmental disorder that affects approximately 5% of children worldwide . . . and that continues to affect many, many adults throughout the entirely of their lives.

While it’s often treated and medicated as a disease (such as diabetes,) ADD/ADHD is actually what we in the medical field call a “spectrum disorder.”

What that means is that the symptoms and the causes of ADD/ADHD range wildly from child to child . . .

While some children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD show just a subtle inability to pay attention, others fidget madly, bounce off the walls and experience bouts of terrible, terrible hyperactivity.

For some children ADD/ADHD is caused primarily by inherited genetic factors . . .

While other kids experience ADD/ADHD symptoms due to diet, hormonal imbalances or even allergies.

Yet our schools and our medical culture lump all of these children together into a “one size fits all” treatment . . . and literally dope any kid who shows ADD/ADHD symptoms until they act like a compliant, docile and easy to deal with zombie. . . filling our schools with unnaturally “calm” kids who are being raised to find the solution to all their problems in a pill bottle--and who grow up to be adults who have had all their personality and spark sucked out of them by dangerous drugs.

But I can tell you right now after years of hands-on experience that when it comes to addressing the cause of ADD/ADHD, actually curing this disorder and giving your children a shot at a normal and successful life . . .

The Drugs Don’t Work

Here’s a dirty little secret the big pharmaceutical companies don’t want you to know.

While popular ADD/ADHD drugs such as Adderall, Ritalin and Straterra can be very effective at temporarily treating the symptoms of ADD/ADHD . . . they do absolutely nothing when it comes to addressing ADD and ADHD’s root cause . . . and have no long term beneficial effect.

Put simply, treating ADD/ADHD with prescription drugs is a lot like . . .

Poking Your Finger In A Hole In A Dam . . .

You can hold the water back for a while . . . but the pressure builds and builds . . . and as soon as you stop--as soon as the nausea, the headaches, the dry mouth, the ramped up heart rate and the crushing expenses become too much--the water comes crashing back around you and you’re drowning in the ADD/ADHD nightmare again.

Think this is just one Doctor’s opinion? Not at all.

Medical research against pharmaceutical treatment of ADD/ADHD has been growing for years (despite big Pharma’s desperate attempts to suppress it). In fact . . .

The Biggest Bomb In The Fight Against ADD/ADHD Pharmaceutical Medication Has Just Been Dropped . . .

On November 12, 2007, a team of American scientists conducting the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children With ADHD released findings that showed that while pharmaceutical drugs such as Ritalan and Concerta can work well in the short term, over a 3 year period they brought about no demonstrable improvement in a child’s behavior. They also found that the drugs could stunt growth.

Asked about the findings, the report’s co-author, Professor William Pelham of the University of Buffalo said “We had thought that children medicated longer would have better outcomes. That didn’t happen in this case. The children had a substantial decrease in their rate of growth, so they weren’t growing as much as other kids in terms of both their height and their weight. And the second finding was that [Ritalin and other drugs had] no beneficial effects. None.”

I can tell you that when this report came out it sent shock waves through the medical establishment. In fact, many doctors and parents who have been swallowing the “pharmaceutical pill” for years now find themselves completely lost, having no idea at all how to treat ADD/ADHD.

But when I read this report, I just nodded my head and allowed myself a half smile (and so did my many patients) because I’ve known for years that . . .

You Can Cure Your Child’s ADD/ADHD Safely, Naturally And Without Drugs

In my 15 years in practice, I’ve treated literally hundreds of cases of ADD/ADHD.

Early in my career when I was young and didn’t know any better, I toed the pharmaceutical line . . . but after seeing firsthand the terrible effects these drugs have on children and families--the dazed look on a child’s face, the crushing expense, the retarded growth and the many, many other side effects--I decided that there had to be a better way.

Through my own practice and by studying the work of like-minded doctors around the world, I discovered that the right combination of behavioral modification, nutrition, exercise and therapy can get stunning results.

Results like . . .

Can you imagine getting results like these for your child?

Can you imagine actually getting an excited call from your child’s teacher marveling at your kid’s “miraculous” improvement at school?

Can you imagine seeing that spark in your child’s eye at she realizes that it’s her . . . not that drugs that are truly succeeding?

Can you imagine sleeping soundly at night knowing that you’re finally free of the guesswork and the worry and that you’re doing everything you can and should to combat ADD/ADHD and to give your child every advantage in life?

Can you imagine ending the nightmare and finally getting back to normal?

If you’ve read this far, I’m willing to bet that you can. And that you’re ready to stop imagining and start doing.

Here’s What This Is All About

Every day my office is flooded with calls from concerned parents and from ADD/ADHD sufferers themselves all looking for a way to stop the drugs and to escape the nightmare of ADD/ADHD. In fact, since that landmark study was released on November 12, 2007, my phone has been ringing off the hook.

Unfortunately, there’s simply no way that I can personally help all of the millions of families in America and around the world who so desperately need simple and proven advice to help them naturally defeat their ADD/ADHD.

That’s why I’ve decided to partner up with my friends at Barton Publishing to create a simple, easy-to-follow manual that takes you, step-by-step through the same recommendations that I make to my patients who want to kick the prescription drug habit and fight ADD/ADHD naturally . . . a report that I call: “The ADHD/ADD Natural Remedy Report - A Safe, Natural And Proven Home Remedy To Cure Your ADHD & ADD.”

This isn’t just pat advice and useless “theory” . . .

Omega-3 Fatty Acids May Slow Down Early Alzheimer's In Some Cases

Omega-3 fatty acid supplements may slow cognitive decline in some patients with very mild Alzheimer's disease, according to new findings from Karolinska Institutet (KI) in Sweden. However, the positive affect of Omega-3 do not appear in cases with more advanced Alzheimer's. This is the first clinical trial ever made in the field and the result is published in the October issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

Alzheimer's disease is a severely debilitating condition that affects thinking, learning and memory, beginning with declines in episodic memory. Medications are available to treat the symptoms, but these drugs do not affect the underlying cause and progression of the disease. Several studies have shown that eating fish, which is high in omega-3 fatty acids, may protect against Alzheimer's disease, leading researchers to question whether supplements could have similar effects.

Dr Yvonne Freund-Levi and colleagues at KI in Stockholm and Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, compared the effects of supplements containing two omega-3 fatty acids with placebo in 204 patients with Alzheimer's disease, by which 174 completed the entire study. For six months, 89 patients (51 women and 38 men) took 1.7 grams of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and .6 grams of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), while 85 patients (39 women and 46 men) took placebo. For an additional six months, both groups took the omega-3 fatty acids. Patients had physical examinations, which included blood tests and blood pressure measurement, and took cognitive tests at the beginning of the study and at the six- and 12-month marks.

After six months, there was no difference in the rate of cognitive decline between the two groups. However, among a subgroup of 32 patients with very mild cognitive impairment at the beginning of the study, those who took the fatty acids experienced less decline in six months compared with those who took placebo. Among those who took placebo during the first six months, decline decreased during the second six months, when they also began taking the omega-3 supplements. The supplements appeared safe and well-tolerated, with no change in blood pressure or blood test results other than a higher ratio of fatty acids in the blood.

"These findings cannot serve as a basis for general recommendations for treatment of Alzheimer's disease with dietary DHA-rich fish oil preparations", says professor Jan Palmblad. "Studies in larger cohorts with mild cognitive impairment, including those at risk for Alzheimer's disease, are needed to further explore the possibility that omega-3 fatty acids might be beneficial in halting initial progression of the disease."
