    Isn't it from mitochondrial problems?

    I understand that you are not optimist about the approvement of your drug targetting AMYLOIDE PLAQUES...as they are not the cause of Alzheimer's desease ( see DALE BREDESEN's lectures)

    Not very useful to me. Thought this would be a more practical discussion of brain health; things we can really do to offset this horrible brain disease like ways to improve brain health like diet and exercise. Nutrition and exercise to me are the most important things for brain and overall health and she didn't even mention that here. Will keep searching for more useful info
