So while mountain-climbing specialist Richard Virenque, who just last week was bragging to reporters about his unparalleled fan base, was sucking from an oxygen tank, Armstrong, his teammates far behind, rode with Pantani toward a victory in the moonlike, vegetationless mountain-top. And Armstrong lost the day, as at every other stage thus far, this time to Pantani...
...foreign bodies, and primitive immune cells called microglia that serve as biological garbage collectors valiantly and continuously try to clear them away. The result is a state of chronic inflammation that progressively injures nearby nerve cells. Among the powerful weapons the brain's immune system brings to bear are oxygen-free radicals, which is one reason many think that antioxidants like vitamin E may be helpful...

Like ginkgo, vitamin E has been tested mostly on Alzheimer's patients and has been shown to slow down the advance of the disease as much as seven months--not much for a condition that takes years to do its brain-ravaging work, but progress nonetheless. "There is a lot of evidence that there's oxidative damage in the brain both...
