including: (1) treating Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease; (2) enhancing
cerebro- and cardio-vascular blood flow; (3) alleviating depression; (4)
improving memory and mental performance in normal humans and those suffering
from Ageing Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI): (5) improving immune function

Paba (Para-Aminobenzoic
Acid) Principal Health News Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is best known as
the active ingredient in sunblock. This use of PABA is not really medicinal:
like a pair of sunglasses, PABA physically blocks ultraviolet rays when it is
applied to the skin.
PABA
is considered the "vitamin within a vitamin" PABA is considered the "vitamin
within a vitamin", because it occurs in combination with folic acid. This is a
water-soluble nutrient and is closely associated with the B vitamins. Without
PABA, bacteria would not be able to synthesis folic acid causing pantothenic
acid not to be synthesized. The breakdown and utilization of proteins as well as
red blood cell formation depends on this nutrient.

Story I’d read a variety of articles documenting an incredibly bitter
controversy which raged throughout the 1950’s over the use of vitamin E (d-alpha
tocopherol) for cardiovascular disease. Drs. Wilfrid and Evan Shute were at the

vitamin in place of conventional drug therapy.
