Agree, especially since prior studies on Beta Amyloid vaccines induced potentially lethal encephalitis in humans, but autopsy studies showed it was also clearing Amyloid plaques. If they can get this approach to be less toxic, it has the potential for being world changing.

I'm 72. I don't worry about cancer,or stroke,or heart disease or getting run over by a bus.

I worry about Alzheimer's,as do most of my friends.

Amyloid plaques are suspended in the jelled substance surrounding the brain stem. So far there is nothing strong enough to penetrate that substance and break up the plaque without destroying the shield itself.
