re: MIT researchers cleared 50% of Alzheimer’s plaques using 40 Hz sound waves

May as well take Viagra:


Recent studies suggest that sildenafil—commonly known as Viagra—may be associated with a 30% to 54% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and may help prevent dementia by enhancing blood flow to the brain. While findings are promising, experts caution that current evidence is observational, and more randomized, controlled clinical trials are needed to confirm these results and determine safe, effective dosages.
Key Findings and Potential Mechanisms
Reduced Alzheimer's Risk: Large-scale patient data analyses indicate that men prescribed erectile dysfunction (ED) medication, such as Viagra, were up to 18-50% less likely to develop Alzheimer's.
Improved Brain Health: Researchers believe Viagra acts on phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) to boost vascular health and increase blood flow in the brain.
Molecular Impact: Studies show that sildenafil can reduce Alzheimer's biomarkers and protect brain cells in lab settings.
Potential for Repurposing: Because it is an FDA-approved drug with a known safety profile, researchers are actively investigating it for repurposing as a dementia treatment.

Pretty incredible. But, question: how do researchers know a mouse has Alzheimers?

---

It's called science.

Alzheimer's is identified in laboratory mice, specifically transgenic models, through cognitive behavioral tests and neurobiological analysis. Key indicators include impaired spatial memory (maze tests), reduced social interaction, increased anxiety or aggression, and the presence of brain amyloid-beta plaques and tau pathology. Behavioral changes, such as reduced curiosity, can appear in mice as early as 4 to 6 months of age.

You can, of course, not believe they know how mice have increased anxiety, but research has been using mice since the early 1900s for many diseases.

In 20 years we’ll have beaten this I think, for the most part. Science is progressing quickly last few years. Sad to realize all the people suffering from it now that won’t be around for that.

The money makers will make sure it will be a pain in the arse to get access to.

I wonder if this would work for those with MS. My wife has been battling that shite disease for 46 years.

The actual onset and effects of both Alzheimer’s and ALS can be greatly reduced with proper nutrition.

This has been proved time and again.

You won’t hear about it because it doesn’t make anybody any money.

So reversing Alzheimer’s effects with bass? Going to have to bust out the MTX Thunder 8000s

The E string is 41.+

Was hoping that said 40Hz sound waves. My car stereo would never allow me the alzheimer fate!

I'm legit curious if those "binaural beats xxxHz" videos on YouTube work this way or do anything else too

---

I do it for self-treatment of high blood pressure but I make the binaural beats myself with a digital stereo oscillator. It works for me.

I'm sure we like to hear/read about it.

Any links to research?
