“The researchers found the microglia release specks of a protein called ASC in response to it. They stick to the amyloid beta protein - boosting its production.
“Prof Heneka, of the University of Bonn, Germany, said this may even occur in the very early stages of Alzheimer’s.
“In tests an antibody that blocked ASC from binding to amyloid beta stopped it from forming into damaging clumps.
“The study published in Nature found this worked in live mice as well as cells grown in the laboratory.”
Same here it runs in my wife’s family too.
“The new research could lead to the development of a drug that treats or even prevents the condition within five years, say scientists.”
FDA will approve it 50 years later.
“That has already been shown in the early stages. Sugar damage reduces functions and completely inhibits other enzymes that allows Alzheimer’s to develop. The reality of what’s possible and maybe not that far off is really exciting and really important! At least for me since I have cut off sugar and artificial flavorings almost entirely.”
Chocolate is my favorite vegetable.

What if you could prevent or slow Alzheimer’s disease by tweaking your diet, sleep, exercise and stress management habits?
The Bredesen Protocol is a 36-point comprehensive plan that, if followed, claims to be able to do just that. And it’s supported by research that suggests you could see symptom improvement within six months.
The protocol has been developed by neurologist Dale Bredesen, MD, director of neurodegenerative disease research at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.
BUMP TO THE TOP
I believe it’s stress that causes the immune system to go bonkers. There are people with the damage that do not have Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s and rheumatoid arthritis are correlative. Just my own theory.
I use aspirin (better for ya with milk) most of the time when my arthritis flares so if it’s an anti-inflamatory I HOPE it is also keeping my brain quiet.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s runs in my family...with rheumatoid. I also have fibromyalgia. I sit on my butt all day and stress about everything. I know what I need to do and have a small plan to get it started. Hard thing is that the stress also keeps decisions hard to make. I’m in this swamp.
I believe you are correct. There is no Alzheimer’s, or even dementia, among my two sets of grandparents. My one grandmother passed at 72, with diabetes and heart attack, though so there is no way to know if dementia “could” have shown up later. Both grandfathers lived to 90+. One of my grandfathers took aspirin every day for at least 10 years. Sharp as a tack, that one.
Both of my paternal aunts had/have Alzheimer’s and some sort of dementia. My dad has Parkinson’s Plus. All three of them are/were diabetic.

Our future is looking very bright indeed.
Let’s hope they never forget the formula....
It's as easy as A, B, C, D, ... Z, alpha, beta, ...
Chocolate is wonderful without sugar.
I’ve known a few Alzheimer’s patients and the weird thing is that before they came down with it, none of them were interested in these like candy or sweet tea, nor did they put sugar in the coffee. One had early onset Alzheimer’s.
That one became quite a candy cruncher once her ability to recognize people was gone. As she grew worse she would snitch candy anywhere and any time she saw it. It was one of the few things she recognized and if there was any to be found in a room she’d hunt it down.
In each case, it was only after they had full blown symptoms that they suddenly developed an insatiable appatite for hard candy.
I've been of the opinion that aluminum is responsible. It was rarer than gold before a process to extract it cheaply was developed. The outbreak of dementia seems to follow it's relative abundance.
Sounds like an autoimmune response. Which means, the body’s own devices attacking others.
It’s not fun, and not worth keeping unless there is a way to “block” them.
Everything you mention is all inflammation based.

Give a sugar pill to 100 patients and 22% will be cured. Give a pill that cures 7% and the FDA will let them sell it. Never mind that many drugs are more harmful than no treatment at all
Good news!
>>What causes inflammation? Most likely glucose.
Which must be why natural selection endowed humans with Hepatic gluconeogenesis... uhhh, right?
