A team of epidemiologists has shown experimental evidence of an inverse relationship between incidences of Alzheimer's disease and colorectal cancer.
The group found that mice with Alzheimer's-like symptoms were less likely than control colorectal mouse models to develop colorectal cancer.
For years, doctors have been noticing that people who develop Alzheimer's are less likely to develop certain types of cancers, mostly particularly, colon cancer. They have also noticed the reverse; colorectal patients seem to be less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.
For this study, the researchers ran experiments with mice to find out whether an association exists.
The researchers administered drugs to lab mice to induce colorectal cancer. Some of the mice had Alzheimer's symptoms beforehand and some did not. The team found that the mice with Alzheimer's were less likely to develop colorectal cancer.
Next, the researchers gave mice with Alzheimer's symptoms stool transplants from healthy mice and then tried to give them colorectal cancer. They found that those who had received the stool transplant were just as likely as healthy mice to develop tumors.
The researchers also tested the gut bacteria of all the mice in the study and found that those with Alzheimer's symptoms also had higher levels of Prevotella, a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. They found the same to be the case with humans diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. And they found that people with colorectal cancer had lower levels of Prevotella than people who did not have cognitive impairment.
The researchers then fed healthy mice lipopolysaccharides taken from Prevotella and found that it led to cognitive decline. Giving the same mice standard cancer treatment afterward resulted in the development of fewer tumors. This, the team contends, suggests that mice with less natural Prevotella are less prone to cognitive decline and more prone to colon cancer.

How do mice with Alzheimer's-like symptoms behave? Do they forget where the cheese is? Or are they found wandering, aimlessly, through the maze? Or they do not come when their names are called? What?
.😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅 you made my day 🙋
Very funny, thank you.

I could be a good example of this. In 2015 I was I was diagnosed with colon cancer and had it successfully treated, as is been shown by one more successful colonoscopy taken only about a month ago. I’m 81 and in spite of the number of problems, one I do not have is having lost any of my marbles.
Well that’s cheerful news.
I don’t trust articles with Chinese names.
My late mother had both. She passed away due to cancer before the Alzheimers could do its worst however. They did an operation but couldn’t get it all and it spread. I looked after her with Alzheimers for about 6 years before that.
I really lucked out with the cancer. Because I’m a type II diabetic I have a regular health screening about once every three months. My doctor found that I had an abnormally low hemoglobin level, thereby setting off a stool sample followed by a colonoscopy that discovered the stage II cancer. Shortly thereafter I had surgery that got everything and I am now clear of it, nine years later.
A strong inverse correlation has long been known between Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia. And though they noted that schizophrenia patients have an overabundance of serum Nitrous Oxides, Alzheimer’s patients have very little or none. Even then they were careful to point out that correlation does not equal causation.
It’s also noteworthy that Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis) tend to increase the amounts of serum NOs.
I’d rather have cancer of the ass and choose my passing than being oblivious to the passage of time.
But I’m sure that they’ll have a pill/shot so people can soon do both under the illusion of ‘health’.

Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis) add: Losartan, Lipitor, and Metformin.
Those 4 drugs may just be a miracle combination. Even for healthy people. See the book Outlive.
... as a primer for schizophrenia?
