Reposting this important article about Dale Bredesen's unscientific claims, which have made him a great deal of $, about his protocol being able to reverse #Alzheimer's. Better to heed experts like Bruce Miller & Mario Carillo. Also, yes, to the Mediterranean diet and no to social isolation; yes to hearing aids and no to all nighters; yes to exercise, good sleep, anti-depressants as needed and no to a concoction whose main ingredient is false hope.

After Kerry Briggs, 64, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, she told her husband that she wanted to enroll in a clinical trial to help others. When she was rejected, she signed up for an unconventional lifestyle program called “Recode” instead.

While eviscerating #NIH studies of #Alzheimer's, #RFK & his circle support this expensive, anecdotal wellness approach. Yes, to the Mediterranean diet, exercise, sleep, & build cognitive reserve but #Bredesen is selling false hope to desperate people & making a lot of $.

[Bredesen] said that he worried that the title of his own book, “The End of Alzheimer’s,” was too definitive — & blamed his publisher." Does he blame the publisher for selling 300,00 copies of his book?

This brief fact sheet from the #Alzheimer's Association contains crucial information about the financial costs of #dementia. We're not even talking about the emotional ones whose dollar amount is incalculable. The #GOP is playing with fire: "Among seniors with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, 24% have both Medicare and Medicaid (“dual-eligible seniors”), compared with just 10% of
seniors without Alzheimer’s."

Here is a review of my #memoir about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's & the unbearable grief of watching a loved one die of #dementia. #Neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller wrote it w/me & explains the brain health (or sickness) behind the clinical presentations I saw: word-finding difficulties, spatial disorientation, behavioral anomalies, memory loss. The 1st chapter is on diagnosis. If this resonates, I am sorry. Readers have said the book has helped. bookshop.org/shop/WeAreHFC

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerfully relates a human experience and should be read by anyone and everyone Weinstein has penned a raw and poignant memoir that processes, reflects, and reprocesses her father’s experience with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Decades after her beloved father’s passing, Cindy Weinstein, a literature professor, connects with Bruce Miller, a dementia neurologist. As such, the writings of Weinstein and Miller are interleaved within each chapter, which provides the reader a fascinating juxtaposition of the inner minds of a literature professor and an eminent neurologist as they share their distinct perspectives on Jerry’s illness. Weinstein writes with her mind wide open, like the pages of one’s intimate diary, showing incredible strength and vulnerability as she reflects and reconsiders the past. Miller writes clearly and compassionately, and not only provides an understandable scientific background to Jerry’s symptoms and situations, but also the historical context of the understanding of dementia. This unique and powerful book relates a universal human experience and should be read by anyone and everyone.

Wow. Just wow. Who would ever have guessed that there could have been a cure for #Alzheimer all along and THE cure would have been found in the last 20 years in the US but for the NIH! Unbelieveable.

No, seriously unbelievable that anyone trusts this man on anything or any issue. bird.makeup/users/patri0tcontr

bird.makeupPatri0tsareinContr0lUnbelievable. RFK Jr says corruption at NIH is the SOLE REASON there isn’t a cure for Alzheimer’s: “For 20 years, because of utter corruption and fraud, we were directing Alzheimer’s research to one hypothesis, and any other hypothesis was shut down. We should have the cure for Alzheimer’s today. We don’t have it PURELY because of corruption at NIH. And we are going to have it quickly.”

„Ausgerechnet Acetaprimid, das 11.000 mal giftiger ist als gedacht, wurde zusammen mit anderen Mittel jetzt über Notfallzulassungen erneut erlaubt. Die als Alzheimer-Pestizide bekannt gewordenen Neonicotinoide dürfen auch bei Kartoffeln und in Kürze wohl auch bei anderen Gemüsesorten gespritzt werden. So gelangen sie in viele Nahrungsmittel – Imker fürchten um das Leben ihrer Honigbienen.“

Capping indirect costs (the link below, starting at bullet 44 provides an excellent explainer re: indirect costs) kneecaps the #science. #NSF supports research in physics and engineering, as well as research on #genetics, #Parkinsons, #Alzheimer's. Not only will these cuts destroy US leadership in science, but the effects on the bodies in the body politic are profound. We will be sicker and suffer more.

Concerns about the approval of #lecanemab for Alzheimer’s disease

"...We are concerned about the approval of this #drug with uncertain net benefit that might foster false hope and expectations among people with #Alzheimer’s disease and their #carers and which might further overburden already overstretched #healthcare systems in Europe..."

The BMJ · Concerns about the approval of lecanemab for Alzheimer’s diseaseThe European Medicines Agency (EMA), after initial rejection based on an unfavourable risk-benefit balance, recently recommended approval of lecanemab for treating people with mild cognitive impairment and early dementia because of Alzheimer’s disease.1 This approval raises serious concerns for four reasons. Firstly, the reported difference between intervention and placebo in the primary outcome, the clinical dementia rating scale-sum of boxes (CDR-SB), was small (0.45 points) in a mixed group with mild cognitive impairment and …
