Salt Lake City (UT) – The Gigahertz race was probably one of the most ill-fated ideas in the microprocessor industry in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Intel was almost brought down to its knees by the enormous power consumption and heat

Indium can improve short-term memory
In 2000 a double-blind study using indium was undertaken at the TCM Academy in Bad Ischl, Austria in collaboration with the Austrian Morbus Alzheimer Society. It involved 24 Alzheimer’s patients, half were given indium plus a mixture of Chinese herbs while the other half were given the Chinese herbs alone.

After 30 days those taking indium showed an overall improvement in stamina and short-term memory by an average of 37 per cent compared to an 8 per cent improvement in the non-indium group.2

A larger follow-up study is now under way and HSI promises to keep you updated on the findings as soon as they become available.
