If it will help me remember why I came into the room, I’ll wear the damn thing for a week.

Praying that they find a cure for Alzheimers.
This is exciting news. Praying for continued positive results.

[Larry Lucido]

Great! I was working on a homemade one, but then I forgot what I was doing. Now I can get back to it.

Have they done any studies to see if this would help Leftists?

This would be wonderful if it panned out.

Alzheimer’s and dementia are terrible destroyers.

[Capt. Tom]

– Alzheimer's is rarely diagnosed before it has taken hold and, by that time, it is often too late or studying people becomes too difficult.

When I took my wife in for an evaluation showing she had Alzheimers, the expert in Alzheimers sat me down and showd me what he called a" white plane view" of a brain-normal and one with the onset of Alzheimers.

Our normal brain looks like two jellyfish stuck together and trimmed neatly.

Early symptoms of Alzheimeers shows white strips formimg along the backside outside edges of the brain.
The white will eventually spread into the back lobe and wipe out recent memory and eventually into the front lobe and wipe out just about all memory.

IMHO I believe if they test people with a brain scan they can get an indication of who is coming down with this dementia. - Tom

“...which sent electric pulses to break down build-ups of proteins known to stop nerve cells working properly.”

Scam.

This is already used to treat depression and is merely a mild form of electro-convulsive therapy (shock treatments).

It seems to cause a flood of release of the neurotransmitters in the brain, which temporarily alleviates depression, and apparently also Alzheimer’s. It doesn’t break down any proteins (beta amyloids) that accumulate in neurons and eventually kill them.
