Wish they could've figured it out for Glen Campbell and Ronald Reagan.

just teaser stuff...no mention of what could do it
ALSO, no mention of COCONUT OIL for dementia, tho it is mentioned in other medical articles, it's a FACT, not a theory or a rumor, but a FACT
perhaps they didn't want folks to try it and they lose potential profits...

I already know that i will lose my mom to Alzheimer's.
sorry to hear that...
do a search for dementia and coconut oil...you'll find a bunch of validation on medical sites
not sure how much it may help your mom, but it's worth a shot?! no?!

81mg of aspirin every day. (the coated kind, Ecotrin)

I hope this is true. Alzheimer's is terrible. I'm a little skeptical though, because there's more than memory loss that occurs. My grandfather eventually developed hallucinations, speech problems, loss of bladder, and eventually extreme trouble breathing as the lungs lose function in its late stages.

Fasting or intermittent fasting may help...
Likely due to insulin sensitivity

“More and more evidence from studies on cellular mechanism show that insulin has specific and important effects on the brain. When insulin resistance is present, there is too much insulin circulating in the blood flow, which leads to a reduced transportation of insulin to the brain,” Ekblad says. “Previous studies show that reduced brain insulin levels can directly contribute to cognitive decline and the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease in multiple ways.”
Let the emotional downvotes continue
I had a family member afflicted with this. I sure as hell control the variables that I can....
-diet (low carb, targeted ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting)
-exercise (more muscle, more metabolically active tissue to enhance insulin sensitivity, glycogen reserves)
I would much rather have a better understanding of my enemy and formulate a plan (that at a minimum enhances my overall quality of life/health) instead of living in fear of aquiring a "random" disease (wait till it occurs and be reactive with very limited treatment options/slow decline).

would be amazing if true, a truly heartbreaking disease

so I guess it's hereditary? Maybe you can have hope with you considering the pace in which modern medicine moves.... Well unless the Dems keep fricking up healthcare and strips incentives by going single payer.
Aren't you getting up there in age? Not meaning this as an insult.

This thread reminds me of a joke.
A guy goes into the doctor not feeling well and gets checked out. The doctor comes in and says "I have some bad news, and some worse news". The guy says "give it to me straight doc." Doc says "you've got cancer". He pauses, then adds "you've also got Alzheimers". The guy responds "well, at least it's not cancer!"

Its a very cool study using great science. One stick in the mud thing to remember is that these mice are really bad models of the human disease. I actually has a friend who worked in this lab and did other really great work making fake memories in these animals. He passed away really young, very sad. His Ted talk is here LINK
