“Science” isn’t science any more. It’s a business and your tax dollars are paying for a big chunk of it. And the end product is usually just lies.
Alzheimer’s research is very difficult, and very important.
It MUST be free from fraud, even if scientists have to admit that they are not yet making headway in their research!
(By the way, I am a PhD biological scientist.)
Journalist Charles Piller’s publications in “Science”:

In the early 1970's, my mother was diagnosed with pre-senile dementia, which later became Alzheimer's. She was 46. Her mental health gradually declined for many years later. She passed at age 60, which I think was unusual. Her neurologist theorized that it could be hereditary, but recent studies say it doesn't look hereditary.
fraud in the pursuit of medical science... imagine that
I asked him a question about the brain...can't recall what it was that I asked...and he replied that "scientists know more about the surface of the moon than they know about the human brain".His exact words.
So anything that physicians are saying about Alzheimer's is probably just guesswork at this point.
not surprising anymore as big health/science/academe is 90% racket, but heartbreaking for many of us who care daily for a dementia patient.
Uh oh.
The fallacy of the appointments of ALL “official” experts.
Government should have zero government “official” “experts”.
Instead it should want, and be required, to listen to multiple outside independent experts, collect their views and arguments, and try to make some consensus worthy of shaping policy. But even doing that should include the caveat that the policy is not perfect and time, further evidence and experience may determine the policy is wrong.
I do know that stress blocks the ability to memorize.
Perhaps transplanting organs could rule out non-brain causation.
hmmm. Wonder if they will be investigated since President Trump (love typing that) has halted NIH travel, meetings, and research funding. Guess I’ll put this up at TruthSocial. heh
One theory I heard recently is related to blood sugar levels. The theory is that blood sugar levels making wide swings in concentration is bad for the brain . Keep it up and you get Alzheimer’s.
