My son worked as a research assistant at UCLA with a doctor conducting a long term brain disorder study. Alzheimer’s was one of the disorders he was studying.

He had a theory that too much iron in the myelin surrounding the brain was a cause of that disease.

Unfortunately, he passed away from pancreatic cancer several years ago. I don’t know if his study was continued.

I’m so sorry about your son, Jvette. Wish I had my mil’s information. She was enrolled in a study at UCLA when she had Alzheimer’s. I wonder if your son and my mil’s path crossed.

Probably not and I don’t have any paperwork. But she was an absolute sweetheart.
