Changes coming

I appreciate the work of previous contributors. I am interested in this article, thus I will attempt a few (I want to believe) beneficial changes with suitable references. Feedback is welcome! Rickproser (talk) 00:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is not a single study about beneficial role on Alzheimer's disease (AD)

A search on Pubmed shows that there is not a single study for the refered beneficial role of Sideritis/ mountain tea and Alzheimer's disease. The Deutsche Welle report is not scientific proof. However, some studies exist about green tea (Camellia sinensis; different variety from sideritis) and its suggested beneficial role on Alzheimer's disease, but green tea is generally an antioxidant and its role as memory booster is less studied than other famous memory boosters or nootropic substances such as idebenone, citicoline, curcumin, Acetylcarnitine, Bacopa monnieri, Ginkgo Biloba, Huperzine A, Vinpocetine and SAMe (688dim (talk) 18:39, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
