The pursuit of a cure for Alzheimer's disease is becoming an increasingly competitive and contentious quest with recent years witnessing several important controversies.
In July 2022, Science magazine reported that a key 2006 research paper, published in the prestigious journal Nature, which identified a subtype of brain protein called beta-amyloid as the cause of Alzheimer's, may have been based on fabricated data.
One year earlier, in June 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration had approved aducanumab, an antibody-targeting beta-amyloid, as a treatment for Alzheimer's, even though the data supporting its use were incomplete and contradictory.

like that fuzzy pictures on the old tvs...it needs to be tuned...but how??
I’ve heard it referred to as “Type 3 Diabetes”.
Actually, it's true.
In Dr. Alzheimer's lecture on the new disease discovered by him, the word "kropf" was misheard by students and reporters as "kopf" and the disease was thought to relate to the head ever since.
The word "kropf" is the German word for goiter. Alzheimer's is actually a thyroid disease.
Well if the analogy holds, we can just hang the side of their heads.
Hang =bang
I suppose that depends on the location of one’s brain
Well let’s ask Dr Jill. See what she thinks.
WHAT?
Trust the Science? 19 Scientific Journals Shutting Down Simultaneously After Being Rocked by Retractions and Fraud: Report
“Beware those scientific studies—most are wrong, researcher warns”

“So much for ‘peer review’ — Wiley shuts down 19 science journals and retracts 11,000 gobbledygook papers”
Interesting. Thanks
“autoimmune”?
“abnormal handling of metals within the brain”?

“Alzheimer’s May Not Actually Be a Brain Disease”
Perhaps replacing most of the replaceable organs of an early-stage patient, such as the kidneys, liver, and digestive tract. Perhaps the lungs as well.
Another possibility is blood replacement, each week a pint out, a pint of young persons’ blood in.
“Because of striking similarities between the fat molecules that make up both the membranes of bacteria and the membranes of brain cells, beta-amyloid cannot tell the difference between invading bacteria and host brain cells, and mistakenly attacks the very brain cells it is supposed to be protecting.”
That explanation leaves something lacking, since an immune cell that can’t tell the difference between bacteria and normal cells would be not only useless for its primary function, but in fact counterproductive.

My head is already tilted to one side because my brain is so big and heavy with information that I can't hold it up straight. Oh, the problems of being a genius.
Try banging on it with your palm.
Thanks for the links.
Is the heaviness on the left side, or right side?
Bacteria have been found in those plaques.
Add to that stress has been proven to make the blood brain barrier permeable.
It's Type 3 diabetes.
