China wants mining rights.
Interesting. Heard all about Alzheimer’s and the issue of aluminum over the years. Now, it’s copper/iron.
Brain mining stocks jump on release of content information.
Democrat party leadership proves goldmine.
No wonder Biden wants inflation: it will drive up commodity prices.
I’ve always suspected Aluminum. It was very rare until a way to extract was discovered in 1886. Alzheimer’s was rare until after that time as well. I figure that soda pop is a weak acid and little bits of the aluminium can get dissolved and into our circulation.
Never eat aluminum - you might sheet metal.
lol. Good one!!
Cause, consequence or coincidence?
Folks, the study showed that the brains of Alzheimer’s patients had a different utilization of copper and iron—not that they had more of either.
For some reason, their brains do not properly allocate those minerals like the rest of us do.
This could be another reason why too much iron in the blood is bad and why many probably don’t need a daily vitamin pill with added iron.
This is very interesting...I did some research 15yrs or so ago
involving very strong pulsed magnetic fields in the range of 2T-5T applied very close to the cranium.
The magnetic strength was similar to the strength of the static magnetic field of MRI machines. The short pulses induced tiny currents in brain matter, the static field of
an MRI does not do that since the field is not varying.
These minuscule traces of iron may have been a factor in the results. It was not known at the time, at least it was not understood that iron might exist in this magnitude in the tissues.
Around the same time studies were being conducted using strong ultrasonic pulses to see if that could fracture neural plaque...
I hope that someday soon research will yield viable treatments for the scourge that is Alzheimer’s, I will
always remember witnessing my Grandmothers slow destruction from this horrifying disease :-/
A penny for your thoughts.
A very technical document at this link but there is a very defined connection between increased uptake of Aluminum and it’s impact on Iron assimilation and connection to Alzheimers. Amyloid plaque that encases the brain has ben referred to as a defensive response as all of the blood at some time passes through it and excessive accumulation of Iron to me is a “tell” that something else is going on in the body
Go to pages 25-26 for an initial conclusion that will open your eyes I hope, but to me in my research and work in caregiving and Elderly population maladies points at the increase in use and absorption of Aluminum (acid reflux meds including antacid OTC products) is a key element
