hey /@holbein81,
this is good information, you always update the data to facilitate and analyze. This is a good job.

This disease is probably one of the most heartbreaking affliction. 💔 To forget your loved ones... I can't even think about it. Hope they find a way to slow or reverse it soon.

@holbein81 -  Thanks for this exhaustive coverage on Alzheimer's.   I have seen a relative suffer from it and as you have pointed out, it was sad to see him not recognizing even his own son or wife.   
Hope a cure materializes some time soon.

Cool man! Thanks for sharing

Its such a nasty disease haVe  seen the effects on my Mumand a couple of other relatives I hope a cure is found soon

I am beginning to wonder if Tau would be a better target then A-Beta with regards to druggability. Perhaps the formation of neurofibliary tangles are a more significant contributor to disease progression then is accumulation of the a-beta plaques. The axovant drug was not targeting either, it was trying to stimulate 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors in an attempt to mask symptoms, rather than treat the underlying cause. So its failure is separate from my own concerns... alzheimers is not an easy disease to crack that is for certain.

happiness and good attitude will be a great way to help

It's a terrifying disease, but we all won't get it- only about 10% of dementia cases are Alzheimer's related. That's still a huge number of people, however.

Sad to know that there is no treatment yet for Alzheimer. As the father of an autistic son, I have always prayed for a cure for autism and hopefully it will be in my lifetime.

Wow amazing

This is one of our lost "wars" for now with life. And until the time we find a cure for 1-2 diseases, there are already more others on the way. New and unstoppable.

Our evolution makes us having new obstacles and unknown problems that put us in a constant research.

It could be the nature way to filter our number or it is just the way it is.

I wonder though, how many bad diseases already have a cure and not being wanted to make available to the large public. And how many of them are fabricated and not made by nature. I think last one is a bad choice by some crazy minds without soul.

Also, there are lot of scientists and people that work hard and maybe dedicate all their life to find a cure to such bad diseases. Some will find a way but others not.

We can just hope that we can have a cure for lot of them in the near future.

And also live a good life till then.


I know also, the scandal around the autism. There are pro and cons regarding more kids having it.
Some said it can be caused by some vaccines people taken in their childhood.

Regarding the scandal with US giving test vaccines to kids is another topic, but i think is more sensible and so damn strange that, if true, some people could do that.

Who knows where the truth lies behind all this information we have.

I just hope i will be sane till the end. And not be a vegetable to my family. It is one of the worst thing that could happen to them.

Best wishes to all

The biggest thing is you have to battle inflammation and provide alternative fuel sources.  ALZ brains are very insulin resistant so providing alternative fuel sources like ketones can be a great idea.  Dr. Mary Newport is doing a lot of awesome stuff with Alzheimer's and coconut oil!

@holbein81,

Ranging from the first man to the second man. They have all said it all. The outbreak of this disease has made some life devastated. Thank you for sharing this.

I will be forwarding it to my Facebook profile and likes so as to spread it.
@stevenmosoes

Nice post, thanks for the info. One thing I have pondered for over a year (and I work with a lot of Alzheimer's and Dementia sufferers) is that this is the typical pit of 'correlation vs. causation'. A while back they identified the plaques and tangles and put their fingers firmly on Tau & beta-Amyloids as a source for treatment... however just because they are there, they are not necessarily the cause. 
I skimmed though the comments and saw inflammation mentioned, and this is a very important issue. In the last 10 years neuroinflammation and exaggerated/chronic immune responses are surfacing as strong factors in neurodevelopmental disorders. 
Add to that the recent discovery of a lymphatic vessel network within the brain that is capable of overcoming the blood-brain barrier, that can allow large proteins in the form of pathogens, allergens and other irritants in the brain and you have a cocktail for a whole new set of discoveries. I am really encouraged by the fact neuroimmunology and the relationship between brain and bowel is starting to be made as well. I think we are facing a layer cake and we have only tucked into the icing on top... It will be many decades before we can say we have really cracked neuropathology.
Upvoted for sure.
