Interestingly, B12 had no effect on the amyloid proteins believed to be the cause. In effect, it allowed them to be asymptomatic Alzheimer’s patients.

I guess that’s how I’d prefer it, if I can’t get rid of the plaques.

A recent study out of Finland suggests The regularly sitting in a sauna helps to prevent Alzheimer’s. Install a sauna!

My father got B12 shots from an old doctor who was in an independent practice. Dad lived to be 97.

I tried coconut oil on my dear, late step dad. He was too far gone in his dementia before I found out about it. It just made him more awake and agitated.

Bless his heart. He was a good man. Miss him dearly.

So if it don’t wiggle take B12?

And coffee is good for the liver, if one has consumed ample cocktails.

I give myself B12 injections weekly as part of my chronic pain management regimen. I also have shrinking gray matter. Maybe this will/has been helping.

[ConservativeMind]

May I ask the nature of your chronic pain?

“Worms don’t wiggle when they have Alzheimer’s disease”

So what do they do to verify that? Do an autopsy of the worms brain?

“Worms don’t wiggle when they have Alzheimer’s disease”

I do not wiggle NOW. Do I have Alzheimer’s? Should I take more B12? Should I start wiggling? I am so confused. Isn’t confusion a symptom of Alzheimer’s? I hate “Science”.

I have RSD/CRPS. Started in my left foot, has spread to my right foot, my stomach, my abdomen, my esophagus & throat. And I have degenerative disc disease. With RSD no surgeries except absolutely necessary. So my bad discs are just symptom treated. And I live in a very small circle. 1,000 steps a day.

This has nothing to do with Alzheimers. This is the early stages of the new studies for the replacement of viagra. Gotta keep them worms wiggling.

Between the worms and fruit flies... I think we’ll be okay.

[Gene Eric]

Funny how the worm never remembers anything.

[ckilmer]

Any information on how this translates to optimal b12 daily dose in for people?
