Alzheimer's ...
... one report from the "I *knew* it" pile, and another report from the "we're desperate, aren't we" pile.
First - Shingles Vaccine does reduce the number of Alzheimer's cases:

Second - snuffling menthol may protect against Alzheimer's:

Okay. I feel vindicated about my use of Valacyclovir, but I think I will make arrangements for the vaccine also.
Menthol - sure, why not?
I am using Vicks VapoRub for the eucalyptus because inhaling that will actually open the little bitty bits which I have forgotten the name of and allow more oxygen to enter the lungs. It is a small amount, and limited to the period of inhaling, but it can take the edge off the panic of feeling like one can't catch one's breath, so one calms down and breathes more deeply and whatnot. It has a hit of menthol in there as well, so what the heck, eh?

Menthol
Vicks uses a synthetic camphor oil. If you want natural camphor it is a lot more expensive. A friend introduced me to "Raven" from Young Living which I like a lot. I put a drop or two on my t-shirt neckline. Seems to help with congestion. I'm really happy to use more of it as a Alzheimer's preventative.

Beneficial together, though.
