I got a kick out of the study where they put dementia patients on a low carb died. The patients significantly improved due to the diet (certainly not cured, but far better than prior). Then the study ended and they were put back on the ‘proper’ (meaning high-carb diet) as prescribed by the ‘experts’. Of course they then reverted back to their original condition.

Maybe in 20 years, people will be allowed to draw the PROPER conclusions from work like this.

The problem is that they won’t just do a Pet Scan on someone without a concern. And if there is enough evidence for “concern”, it’s already too late.

In the end, the scan will be used to provide the, “Yup, its dementia” diagnosis.

If I knew which way it was, I’d take you out back and punch you in your dog face.

A friend was told she’d had a minor heart attack, based on interpretation by AI. After a bevy of tests, the final result was ‘there was no heart attack.’ AI not quite ready for prime time.

I’ve walked 5 relatives through the dementia exercise. I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting it. Now I see a hint of it and I run in the opposite direction.

But, as they say, you never hear the bullet with your name on it.

While there are failures, there are successes identifying condi5ions/diseases using ai that were hard to diagnose- there is a medical a folks can type in symptoms- some people are finally getting diagnosed

It would be interesting if they ask about political affiliations and correlate the results.
