Does aspirin help to avoid the mechanism?

What causes inflammation? Most likely glucose.

Looks promising.

From Wikipedia...
"Microglia are a type of neuroglia (glial cell) located throughout the brain and spinal cord.[1] Microglia account for 10–15% of all cells found within the brain.[2] As the resident macrophage cells, they act as the first and main form of active immune defence in the central nervous system (CNS).[3] Microglia (and other neuroglia including astrocytes) are distributed in large non-overlapping regions throughout the CNS.[4][5] Microglia are key cells in overall brain maintenance—they are constantly scavenging the CNS for plaques, damaged or unnecessary neurons and synapses, and infectious agents.[6] Since these processes must be efficient to prevent potentially fatal damage, microglia are extremely sensitive to even small pathological changes in the CNS.[7] This sensitivity is achieved in part by the presence of unique potassium channels that respond to even small changes in extracellular potassium.[6]"

10 to 15% of the brian?

What the heck! Let's kill them!!! Let's get the bastards!!!

These are the rogue proteins believed to lie at the root of the devastating neurological illness.

So it's crazy diseased people that post excerpts of their blogs?

I hope it really is a breakthrough as I have had the disease in my family. We shall see if this amounts to something.

Wonderful news!

When I was prescribed a statin drug for moderately-high cholesterol readings, I was told that plaque accumulation in the brain was similarly reduced. I’ve read nothing to doubt that assertion.

“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.”

Let’s hope they never forget the formula....

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
