- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2015
- More than 40 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, and that number is expected to increase drastically in the coming years. But no real progress has been made in the fight against the disease since its classification more than 100 years ago. Scientist Samuel Cohen shares a new breakthrough in Alzheimer’s research from his lab as well as a message of hope. “Alzheimer’s is a disease,” Cohen says, “and we can cure it.”

My dad 82, has had Alzheimers for 15 years and went further downhill with Dementia after his wife's *my mom's death a year ago. He was almost catatonic for 10 months. I had one chance to help my dad, so i decided to try and change his environment and NUTRITION. I also added Lion's Mane, Vit B/12, coconut oil, butter, whole grains, nuts, etc.
He now sleeps all night, walks on his own, showers alone, dresses himself, puts on his diapers at night, feeds himself, and he's participating in conversations a bit, ask questions and is in full wonder of his surroundings.
At the beach he was so surprised how salty the water was, and how sand stays on your skin...he's becoming aware of his new world. He keeps better eye contact now. He also has built up his stamina with daily walks. He now has chores> he sweeps, waters the garden, feeds the chickens, helps cut veggies and fruit, and is in good spirits. He gets massages, acupuncture , pool therapy, walking, stationary bike, and I'm slowly lowering his meds. Still, he cannot make good safe choices on his own and will need my care...but his quality of life is the most important. I'm honored to be of service to my father and am overwhelmed at times. But seeing my dad be comfortable, laugh and express joy again is priceless.
Bro is ur dad fine now? Has his memory improved? My grandmother is also suffering from this should i give her the same things?
Hi, what is his general diet or what foods did you stop in his diet???? I would love to chat to you? Is there anyway we can communicate. We are looking after dad & can really do with some insight from people such as you who have first hand experience
That’s a straight up miracle!
Wow. You been able to improve his health and thats so wonderful, and could help others with how to help their family too. Your comment is golden, thanks for making it.
I smell bullshit
My mom has dementia and people who have not experienced a close relationship have no idea when they say things like “oh I forget too” or does she know who you are” To see your mother who for a long time was your confidant turns into a child that you struggle to have a conservation with because she can barely follow what you’re talking about. That’s what it’s like heartbreaking!
I’m so sorry. My mother is having early signs of memory loss.
C Hanson sorry to hear that. It’s a slow disease my prayers are with you and your mom.
excavtrooper yes I believe there is but diet and supplements may help slow it down very early on. Once the damage is done it’s done. I feel a homeopathic cure is in the future God willing
Valerie Belmonte Valerie I am experiencing the same thing. Mom is by best friend and confidante. My heart is breaking. Mom survived multiple near death experiences to end up with this awful condition. All we can do is love them and keep on going . BE WELL
Ruthann perillo Amen ! It’s a terrible disease let’s prayer for our future generations that they don’t have to face this. They need to invest research for this disease so many are affected. I feel your pain! Stay strong and God Bless you and your mom.
My grandpa has had Alzheimer’s for about 9 years now (I’m 14), he can’t remember my mom or aunt who live and take care of him. He can’t eat or walk anymore, and he hasn’t spoken since July of 2019. He’s literally just waiting to die, it’s terrible...
Condolences to anyone with it or knows someone with it🙂
I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this.
My grandpa might get it soon because they said he needs to get treatment but I have a question, can this be based off dna in any matter? Even the smallest link? Like maybe some people have a gene that actually makes sure the brain does not turn like this? Anything based of dna or genes? Please help me with this question and I am sure we can help our grandpas.
@@likethat8857 I found this from MayoClinic: “This type of Alzheimer's disease is very strongly linked to your genes. Scientists have identified three genes in which mutations cause early-onset Alzheimer's disease. If you inherit one of these mutated genes from either parent, you will probably have Alzheimer's symptoms before age 65.” There really isn’t anything you can do from where you’re standing now but they’re foods and medications he can take to hold it off as long as possible. Good Luck and keep me updated😉
@@DementiaCareblazers Aww thank you hun😊
@@mythicallegendxoxo2715 Thanks for the info! My grandpa’s (86 years old) memory has been worse from past month. Not too much but the neurologist said that he might be developing Alzhiemers or Dementia so, they have given him a few tests including blood tests and scanning which he has left to go to. I will update you when we get results. His sleep cycle is not at all good since a month since he stopped going to our farm ( of areca nut and we have hired people as it is like 17+ acres). Every senior in from his side didn’t have any Alzhiemers and because of you telling me he needs to have gene like that really helps for me to not have negative thoughts. Let’s pray and hope he hasn’t developed any kind of disease. If he hasn’t developed any kind of disease I might delete my panic replies’
I used to be a law student, and then i found out my beloved grandma had alzheimer, she changed so much and so fast that was really hard to accept i made my mind and switched completely now i am a med student this disease is horrible even though my grandma is still alive it's not like her anymore she doesn't even know where she is even though it's the house that she lived for more than 50 years often she will ask who i am and i get so sad because i love her and miss her a lot, i just wish her peace and confort for the time she has here on earth
Don't waste your time! Go study under Gary Tunsky!!! Watch his presentation on what the cell is going on
My mother in law suffered for 10 years from this horrid disease! It kills the patient twice. Who they are and then the remaining husk. I tried for years to get her something, ANYTHING to stop this fatal progression. Nope. She passed. Hopefully this will end and soon!
@@achsahkaleb4844 Thank you!
Only a pleasure! I have studied natural healing by myself for the last 9 years! My best friend had leukemia! I did the research. He was under one of our best university professors in South Africa. So it is documented. 3 months later after just following my research he was totally healed. The same thing happened with someone I knew who had AIDS! I still believe Yehovah Tzeva'ot healed him! We have been brainwashed by the world to think a certain way.
seeing my mum experience this makes me wish I could go back and study medicine and oddly made me understand the value of it so I understand that so much
I have so many questions and I feel useless
it's really tough to witness someone fade right before your eyes
I had no idea. I'm a bit depressed he received such a paltry round of applause, I thought he deserved a standing ovation! Fantastic talk, more like this please TED!
Yes, he was spot on.
Yes! Absolutelly Agree..He did a excelente Talk despite The shorttime..The audience wast The worst..Greetings😀
Sorry Chief but you already drank the Kool-Aid ,why would the pharmaceutical industry want to kill a cash cow like that ?
they have no incentive to find a cure, what you just heard there on that Ted Talk is pure propaganda
Are you kidding? For what?
I'm writing a graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten. Funny thing is decades ago Dr. Oz said Zocor was causing memory loss and then my mother parroted that to everyone, but later on when she said it to a nurse practitioner during his assessment of a MMSE, he said she was delusional for saying that and this nursing home that I had to fight in probate court for 2 months to get my mother out, used it as a way to imprison her in a lockdown unit.
114 years without a cure. My mum has her first symptoms and she's a nurse and I still can't pay for anything for her to improve hair brain. I'd give anything if I could really help her brain to stop that time bomb. She's slowly fading away and I can't do anything. This is so frustrating and heartbreaking!!
Check out comments above about altering her diet!:) organic as well!
Bacopa monnieri
Alzheimer patients also have various major nutritional deficiencies like cholesterol, gluthathione and testosterone in men, so why are doctors not focussing on this aspect instead of drugs? Finland leads the world statistically and that can be specifically traced back to the 1970s when they started a low cholesterol drive to cut the rate of heart disease. This they did by 75%, but they ended up with an Alzheimer epidemic instead. Cholesterol has a major protective function in the brain, so by cutting good and bad sources, they created the problem they now have. Coconut oil can be converted to ketones used as a type of fuel like glucose in the brain, so LCHF or Banting lifestyle and white fats recommended. Western countries have much higher rates of Alzheimer's due to their use of cooking oils like canola, sunflower and others, which is why olive oils and mediterrean diet also recommended, together with fish oil, or omega fat supplements, b12 and other nutritional substances like co-enzyme Q10. There is hope and you can eat the right way and add the supplements your brain needs. Dump the Statins in exchange of natural products like Red Rice Yeast Extract. Use Rosemary oils and make Rosemary tea or wine. There is a lot more.... be positive and proactive.
Melanie Oliver dr Neal Barnard has amazing talks on preventing Alzheimer’s
Patricia Kane Protocol (pkprotocol.com) worked!!!!
Cholesterol is not the bad guy - its statins. The body needs cholesterol and so does the brain its just another con to shift the stuff. To put a 40 year old on statins is ridiculous and I did see a report that they were considering putting statins in the water supply in America. Do your research - don't listen to the medical profession where drugs are concerned. Yes we need antibiotics from time to time - and in certain circumstances pain killers - but the high rates in dementia and Alzheimers is a result of prescribing drugs. My parents and grandparents never had that problem and I am 78 and take natural foods. Store stuff in my fridge in glass jars. Avoid wrapping stuff in plastic where ever possible and drink spring water in glass bottles - not plastic bottles. In other words "live simply" wrap food in greaseproof paper and nag the Supermarkets to stop packaging everything in plastic film. Dump the tin foil. Hopefully the drug companies will go bust.
Diseases like Alzheimer's reduce the patient's cholesterol levels, but that doesn't mean low cholesterol causes Alzheimer's. Quite the contrary. Higher cholesterol levels at mid-life have been linked to Alzheimer's later in life. Moreover, countries where cholesterol intake is low also have the lowest rates of Alzheimer's disease. And when researchers look at the brains of people who died from Alzheimer's, they find that the arteries in the brain are clogged with cholesterol the way arteries are clogged in heart-disease patients. Look at the research and make up your own mind. You can save yourself and your loved ones a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering:

Everybody seems to know the right thing to do , except Duke. Maybe he'll now find that supplements work, and become famous !!! you're welcome Duke !!!!!! Don't forget to share the wealth...
My father died of Alzheimer's 10 days ago. This talk gives me hope that others won't have to lose loved ones to this disease in the near future.
I was interested until he mentioned that they need to create a new drug to cure it... why not use the money to investigate how it can be prevented?
+Laura Lucid8 Exactly. He lost me at 5:16. The goal should be a cure. His goal is a drug. Thumbs down.
Penicillin is a drug and I'd be a fool to refuse it if I needed it to save my life....
I think you're more afraid of the word "drug" than of the disease. I too would like this fantasy you're talking about, but it's a mystery how Alzheimer's is caused. What we know is how it manifests... This is the starting point of research.
Science is slow and depressing, I know. And I too hate the drug companies.
Is therapy a drug? Is eating (or avoiding) certain foods a drug? What about avoiding certain chemicals or contaminants? The GOAL should be the cure whether it is a drug or not. Otherwise there is motivation to bury the truth because it is not profitable. Hating drug companies is irrelevant.
what a meaningless and empty comment.
I love the way this guy mentions all these breakthroughs that we have with statins for heart disease and gods knows what for cancer treatments. If you can get off statins please do. If you think you need them please take unbiquinol with it. Do not take statins alone. It figures that this guy is a scientist. Doctors never look to nutrition for any of their answers. They look to create chemicals for treatments and to me these are the things that are causing a lot of people's problems as they age. Our bodies are not made to work with the chemicals that pharmacuedical companies create. Our bodies respond to the natural fruits, herbs, spices, nuts, seeds and vegetables that are grown in a good clean earth, rid of any pesticides or pollution. This is how we get healthy. Not on medicines.
Amen to that
I couldn't agree with you more
@Dolly Madeson Thank you Miss Dolly Madeson!!! Happy 2019.
I believe our own Government is poisoning us through food, when the big American Corporations took over the meat and fowel and especially the agricultural part. Children are born in this country with more health problems than ever before.
@@x-force6010, except for antibiotics, none of the things you listed actually make you healthy. They control symptoms. Your asthma isn't cured, neither is your thyroid or pancreas, your brain or lungs-only your symptoms are controlled. Becoming healthy improves your bodily functions, heals your organs, prevents disease. If your body has succumbed to a disease you may need medicine to fight the disease-and you may not-but the medicine alone doesn't make anything healthier. Our bodies do have chemical interactions daily, but not all chemicals are beneficial, as you imply. Most doctors are woefully ignorant regarding nutrition because they receive very little education in that area. They're taught about internal systems, organs, skin, bones, muscles-and what goes wrong with each of them, but not how to maintain or regain health through food and supplements (herbs, etc). And btw, you could have presented your opinion without calling names.
My mother has had Alzheimers for thirty years. She used to be dysfunctional and aggressive and irrational. Now shes loving gentle and happy.
All her relationships have changed and her world is alot happier so is her family. She is physically healthy. Memory affected. I think its the best thing ever, for her
Care to share what she did ? Looking for help for my dad
What she was using?
Please share the cure.
The Caretaker’s Everywhere At the end of time brought me here...
That album made me hate this disease really badly.
@@Gio90210. Really hoping they cure it soon
Same
And nexpo brought me to that.
Joe Biden song
Excellent TedTalk. Compelling. I respect his passion for his patients.
I am a caregiver and it breaks my heart to see my residents suffer with this disease.
Thank you for spending time looking for what may be the most family crushing disease.
My mother had Alzheimers for 10 years. A Dr. gave her a life saving intervention and it was the worst thing he could have done. She was already greatly affected at the time. She live (suffered) 10 more long years. She didn't enjoy anything during those extra years.
I wish there could have been a cure, I have so much I wanted to ask her lots of things.
It is imperative that dementia and Alzheimer's patients prepare an advance directive and DNR (do not resuscitate) order before it's too late.
Best wishes and I hope you succeed in finding a cure. Both my grandmothers had this. Am a 46 yr old female and also have brain damage from an auto accident when I was 10. I already suffer from short term memory loss.
try the Bredeson Protocol it may help you
@@faebalina7786 thank you I will, look into it thank you fir sharing

How are you doing today?
Bacopa monnieri
Thanks for this. You are absolutely correct that it is one of the most debilitating diseases out there and not much is being done. Since losing a beloved family member to this disease, I am trying to do what I can. It may not be much in the general scope of things...but I am aware and trying. Good talk.
I am in the same boat as a lot of people. I really would like Alzheimer's to be cured. Nothing is more scary then losing yourself to the point where you can't even remember your basic functions.
I did a project on Alzheimer's this helped so much
Fantastic talk. Really makes me wonder why the NFL supports breast cancer awareness, but not Alzheimer's awareness.
+Brendan Wood Because they care more about breast than their heads? I mean they run head first into each other like it's nothing.
+Brendan Wood
They forgot
+TheChicoNerd because it's a business decision, not a real charity, they don't really want to raise the breast cancer awareness as much as they try to get women to watch NFL aka raise their audience aka try to get more money for themselves.
+Дмитрий Сусов
Didn't it turn out that only about 10% of the donated sum made it to the research funds? I remember reading something like that.
+Brendan Wood Because Susan G. Komen pays them millions upon millions of dollars to advertise. Just like any other company.
Thank you for this video. I keep looking for more info on this disease. In our family, there have been quite a number of cases and it has been so for my mother for the last 6 years. I rack my brain to know what the best ways to speak to her are. I live far away from them. My dad is at the brink so not easy. I remember how when she was 45 or so she wouldn't finish her sentences. I never thought it might be an early sign. Today she is 72 and hardly recognise people around her. But she is able to repeat what I say on the phone seconds after hearing it as to acquiesce.
I wonder how a multilingual is affected. She has trouble reading at normal speed, when she speaks to me she reads my name of the screen of the phone many times as if wondering. She has all the terror episodes of not wanting to go to bed with a stranger and so on which is the hardest to deal with for me. She was going to day activity centre but somehow now she doesn't want to or something went on she isn't telling. Their life in winter is too monotonous. I try to tell my dad not to let her watch the news. It s like speaking to a dark hole unfortunately.
If you need a case study, I might be your best card 😂, a cousin of mine and I started enumerating the number of aunties who suffered the same. Anyway, good luck to all and I hope you stay strong 😊🙏
OMG! You described exactly the same situation my parents are in!! 😶 Word by word! Only with the slight difference that my mum still wants to go to the 'gym' (activities for elderly people), and still wants to go outside for a little walk...(which makes me happy, and which wasn't the case before, until my sisters & I organized everything for her, and now my mum loves going to the gym ! 😃).....Even though one can clearly see that she's like a child now....she's still and she will always be MY BELOVED MOM!!! 💗💖💝
I wish you all the best!!! 🌹🌻🍀
@@Lupanaria what a wonderful idea, thanks for your message. My Mum likes walks but she used to go to the gym a very long time ago. Maybe she could definitely go again. I will ask her 💕🙏💕 have a lovely day.
Bacopa monnieri can help
I cant even hear this bc of the low volume but the comments here a EXCELLENT! Very informative!!
My grandfather didn’t know who I was at 16, he wasn’t diagnosed for 20 years. Now, I can’t remember things I should. I don’t want to lose my memories.
Bacopa monnieri can bring you back
What about looking for the cause!? Statins??? Depleting Q10 and Cholestrol need by the brain. I have slowed m mothers deterioration by doing away with statins and giving her Tumeric and black pepper in every cooked dish plus using raw coconut oil, D3 and B complex. Walks in the park and little sugar. She's nearly 89 and doing well. All this research is just a continuation of drug therapy instead of looking for the cause and using natures own healing tools - food. As to why little research has been done - its fear of the truth. Once the Statins cause has been discovered plus the use of floridation of water plus chlorine and all the junk put into foods like sugar and artificial chemical then people will realise that the government is hiding the truth. Its time for people to know that the government has allowed industry to poison us for the sake of money.
little problem here; since CAT, MRI, and PET scans can only RULE OUT other causes and not actually detect Alzheimer's, there is not yet an effective test for it in a living person. So there is no way to know for sure if a person has it.
@@watchgoose, I think perhaps you've never personally known anyone with the symptoms of Alzheimer's, or you'd know for sure, too.
I can believe it re. Tumeric. I started taking it for knee bone on bone inflammation and swelling. No pain after three days, and within a couple weeks, my brain suddenly felt like a 30 year old brain. Look up Tumeric and brain health. Amazing results. Apparently in India where tumeric is a staple ingredient in foods, a much lower incidence of Alzheimer's Disease. Doubt that is placebo.
Well said, thats great to hear your testimony! Just makes me stunned at these 'medical professionals' but then they are brainwashed for years into gaining their qualifications plus theres ego in the mix too. Such damage has been done because of this. Then theres the fight to get our relatives to listen to us instead of the doctor who gives them flu jabs each year and statins..
Absolutely correct
My father just died of Alzheimers. And it appears I have early onset Alzheimers. I watched my father suffer horribly with this disease over the last 15 years. Now to imagine I'm going to suffer as did he. Ironically I just survived cancer. But at this time the killer for me will be losing my mind and memories and worst being alone.
Scott Gerlach you need to do some of the things that will help you with this you need to eat nutmeg lots of nutmeg put a sprinkle of it on everything you eat and drink there are so many other thing also make sure you are exersize every day and read everyday do some research on this there are many things you can do dont use deodorant a lot you can do naturally to help you keep your brain healthy do some brain games

Good work , great presentation
These statistics are staggering to me. I find it especially eye opening that 150 million people will be diagnosed by 2050 and it makes me wonder what this generation is doing differently to make this number from 40 million. I agree with this man when he says that more awareness should be raised about this disease. Although this is a matter of opinion, I cannot think of something more frustrating or devastating than not being able to remember what makes you who you are. Identity is something that nothing in this world can take away from a person and it is very frightening to me that one disease has the capacity to do this. It is frightening to me that after 85 years of living, your chances of getting Alzheimer's is almost 50%. This statistic is eye opening. For the most part, I am a healthy individual. I work hard to eat right, exercise and get the right amount of sleep. Will this all mean nothing for me if I have such a high chance of getting the disease after age 85? I might be in great physical shape, but will that matter if my brain does not function correctly? To me, those last years are not worth it if I have to live with this disease not knowing the basic parts of who I am and who my family is. This is why I agree that awareness and research for this disease is so important. If the rate of Alzheimer's increases as much as he says it will by 2050, we must be doing something wrong, or at least differently from previous generations.
The cure for Alzheimer's is and has always been within ourselves.
The two main factors are diet and frequency of eating.
Feeding the brain Ketones rather than Glucose, not only is a more efficient form of energy but it helps brain functions.
Fasting regularly has also been proven to help the brain regerate and improve memory and sharpness.
Agreed, coconut oil and MCT oil is the best
None of what you write cures alz.
@@DukeGMOLOL, tell that to the many people who have actually reversed Alzheimer's.
I agree with you.
I feel exactly the same on this matter.
@@ElTuco Quackery did not reverse Alzheimer's, nothing does.
steps
1: Ask for funding to make a drug
2: Make it too expensive for 80% of patients who need it
3: Maximize profit
Tys Dasd exactly its horible
that would be shooting one's self in the foot. nonsense.
Yes, I wish I had a magic wand to wake sleeping humans! Some are straight up zombified!
It's all they ever cared about. Nobody really cares about helping unfortunate people only how much money they're going to make.

thank you for trying to help !!!
(Depression is anger turned within; start running, swimming, going fishing, doing any & all activities you want to increase endorphins and Good feelings, et al✨⚓️☦️💖✨)
@Tararyze 11 keep in mind that all habits begin with one go. Give it a go.
Actually, exercise doesn’t stimulate endorphins, you’ll need heroin for that.
Drugs, drugs, drugs, that's all they seem to know. Side effects are a major factor; diet, activity level, etc. surely play a vital role in a person's mental health as well as physical. I wish more "experts" would invest time into addressing these likely causes of Alzheimer's.
All drugs are Poisons. They cause clogging of the Liver and the resulting nature of that of that becomes an inabilility to remove accumulated fats from the body.( Amongst other things) I believe the Liver has over 500 Functions.
love this man's speech
First and best robot TED talk Ive seen so far...
Now, 6 years passed, I haven't heard any progress on the treatment to Alzheimer. There's still no a cure existing in this world.
Hi, please consider looking at work of Dr Dale Bredesen, MD. Actually great strides are being made in treating Alzheimer’s patients with dietary, lifestyle interventions and even light therapy (photobiomodulation).
im so sad because my parents will get alzheimers one day and could forget everything, and i love them so much 😢
@nova He said 1 in 2 in the video tho
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH SAMUEL COHEN!!!!! YOU ARE A GODSEND!!!!💖
Living a life on this earth has a very high cost, life continues to get more difficult as each one of your years of life passes by.
amazing talk , Thank you for telling people that this disease unfortunately kills . And please , continu working on it ,
My grandmother has the disease and I want to save her.
uhhhh i feel like i shouldnt make you remember about her but is she alive?
How about more studies on PREVENTIONS?
Everyone is only focused on CURE, where it's aligned with profits.
obviously.. this talk is utter useless... what you need is good nutrition and not this scam drug... clearly you need good kind of fat for your brain.. and with our so called fat free society, hmm what can we expect.. our ancestor barely have this kind of problem
How did this video come to my notification although it's been uploaded since 3 years ago?
My great grandma on my mom's side had it and my mom's mom has mild approaching moderate Alzheimer's now..I hope that we can cure it soon
Bacopa monnieri can help
My grandpa recently just passed away from Alzheimer’s and my grandma also has it which we don’t know when she’s going to pass away and my mom has both of the chromosomes and it’s just a terrible disease god bless everyone I hope no one gets this disease because it sucks
Bacopa monnieri
Yeah, let's just make a pill instead of watching out what we eat.
+CRaul87 well people with alzheimer today and 10 years from now didnt have the same understanding we have in food
+there is time and economic problems that might make someone not take care of their diet that well
+CRaul87 If you eat carrots your liver still produces cholesterol, some of which oxidizes and becomes 7-ketocholesterol, which clogs up your arteries and kills you eventually. Unless we give the body the genes it needs to produce enzymes that break down 7-ketocholesterol and the other aggregates. engineered negligible senescence.
fonzdaii You are a victim of false information fed to you by the political agendas of the time. CHOLESTEROL IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU! That's why your father is in the place where he is: he was misinformed right to his grave with "healthy" low fat, low cholesterol foods!
CRaul87 fonzdaii Even if you live healthily with zero intake of cholesterol your liver still manufactures it because its essential for the body. Some of this cholesterol oxidizes regardless of lifestyle, and becomes for example 7-ketocholesterol, which clogs up your arteries eventually. Same is true for alzheimers, which is caused by other aggregates that accumulate over time, regardless of lifestyle. Lifestyle only somewhat affects the speed at which such aggregates accumulate. That's why the healthiest being alive still dies on average just after everyone else. The solution is to provide the cells with the genes necessary to make the enzymes necessary to break down the aggregates. As the body already does the aggregates that would accumulate lethal doses much sooner than for example 7-ketocholesterol. See engineered negligible senescence.
lazygamerz The story doesn't just revolve around cholesterol, it's also a mater of insulin resistance at the brain lvl witch is exacerbated at old age because of a lifetime of carbohydrate heavy eating.
I also research and discuss Alzheimer's . Thanks for your video.
i dont think i can explain in words how thankful i am for people like these scientists. when i heard that there was a drug that could cure it in early stages, i was so happy. i thought that there was no cure, but now i have hope. (i dont have dementia and nobody i know has it, i'm just really happy that there is a cure)
When the brain encounters a bad feeling it creates a bad feeling it tries to forget. This causes the brain to stop feeling. When these negative frequencies are combined with good attitudes and feelings the brain will start to work again.
Bwwaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa.
The next great health exploration will be frequency medicine. The sooner we look at the effects of frequencies on biological health, the sooner we will unravel the deeply misunderstood health issues of our day.
Great presentation. Thank you!!!!!
If you liked this video, you may also be interested to know that it's estimated that 45 million out of the 328 million people in the U.S. will have Alzheimers! That's 13.7%!!
Amazing talk. Class assignment brought me here
Missing to add "looking for cure that we can profit from it"
I wonder if any other countries have made cures that aren’t a real life p2w.
No need to find a cure. Learn to prevent it. A diet high in fruits, vegetables in raw form with a little bit of nuts and seeds. Avoid sugar, processed foods, oily fried stuff, starchy food like bread, grains etc. Eat simple, eat less, go out in sunlight, be active, stay positive, meditate everyday
If only it were that simple. I personally know people who ate exactly what/how you recommend, and still got Alzheimer's. And I know people who ate nothing but junk and were clear headed into their 90s. Should we eat and live well? Of course. Is that a guarantee? Sadly, no.
@@nadafarmwife9290 --Right on.
My mom always ate healthy foods, homemade no processed food, no sugar, exercised daily. But still she got Alzheimer’s. She has no other health issues. So I would like to say that we do need to find a cure for it for the people who are already suffering from it or are going to be the victim of this disease.
It's not that simple. if your loved one already has the symptoms they're already past the point where lifestyle factors can cure them.
@@Garland67 --Lifestyle factors cures Alz? Studies please.
My mother has Alzheimer’s and I have been feeling NUTS for years now as I’ve found , horrifyingly NO ONE UNDERSTANDS THIS DISEASE INCLUDING THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY!!!! These blessed people are SUFFERING and it’s OUR RESPONSIBILITY to get with it and learn EXACTLY HOW TO MEET THESE PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE!!!! We cannot continue to speak OVER these people, ABOUT these people, ignoring these people!!!! We cannot speak to them like their is something wrong with them!!! These people are living in non-stop fear and chronic stress! I watched my father die early from such a nasty cancer that metastasized to his entire body throughout his bones. It was a living nightmare and I know that so many of us have been through this and know exactly what I mean💜
But THIS ALZHEIMERS makes that entire tragic challenge with daddy seem like a piece of cake! I’m going to create some online courses for this! We are ALL SUBJECT to getting this:::::
By 2050 one out of two of us are currently living in the exact way that welcomes this disease. There are MANY easy free things that we can do to work our brains out (just like a muscle in the gym, it needs to be worked out. I am 64 and taking beginner piano lessons and playing ping pong (all racquet sports are great) and learning math and technology. Doing these types of exercises work across the corpus colosseum and use both sides of our brain which is a great workout for it! Also read or write about something new that you are teaching yourself every single day for 30 minutes and sleep being most important foundation for our physical and mental health, followed by exercising and healthy eating (the brain actually has some favorite foods (dark chocolate,blueberries,walnuts, and a couple more😁), and in my opinion everyone should have a baseline brain scan just as we do our hearts ,etc……. This will be very helpful and can tell us right now whether or not we need to address this seriously in our own lives. Hope some of this is helpful and for now we need to press our government and our pharmaceutical companies to ASSIGN GRANTS TO scientific communities who are studying this awful challenging disease…… and MOST IMPORTANTLY WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THE SENIOR PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE OUR ELDERS AND THEY HOLD THE WISDOM AND DESERVE OUR COMPLETE RESPECT UNTIL THE DAY THEY PASS ON TO THEIR NEXT PURPOSE!!!!!! THANK THEM! They are here struggling and suffering and scared to death in order to teach us patience, respect,compassion,love, deepening and widening our hearts!!!!! LETS NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST OLDER PEOPLE INSTEAD LETS CELEBRATE THEM and be GRATEFUL TO THEM!!!
Tho my mama can no longer speak properly and mostly just doesn’t because she no longer can……… but I call her every day (we live in separate states and I tvl back and forth constantly and she has live in help but she needs us her children too), she almost ALWAYS ends up putting some words together before we hang up and she will somehow give me the most generous, full of wisdom gift AND I STILL CAN NEVER BELIEVE IT!!!!!! Please please together let’s get super serious about educating ourselves (sooo many books out there) enough to understand what they ARE experiencing and we can LEARN THE appropriate way to address or lie down by or sit next to and rub an arm or leg or scalp….. all of this is exactly what they need!!!!
OH! One more thing I’ve found that she LOVES is for us to watch musicals from when she was younger because they can still remember tunes, even when most else is malfunctioning….. and it makes her happy!!!!! 🫶🫶🫶
Bacopa monnieri can bring her back
Important info about Alzheimer’s. My Dad died in February from kidney disease and Alzheimer’s. Thanks 🙏🏼
This guy will go down in history as the stiffest TED speaker.
Yuval Harari is on the same level and delivers brilhantly. This guy sucks. His content is to blame, not his body language, but yeah, he is kinda like a statue.
Stop with the rude ignorant comme ts
Love this guy and his information... yet, agreed, he has certainly mastered stiffery 🙂 from my observation. I’m encouraged now with hope that I may actually overcome my condition of rockery when I speak. Great observation and sense of humor😜. I imagine he’d be humored and not offended!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He stands with no twists or unnecessary movement, in an innocent vulnerable place like a child. It is unnerving perhaps to see someone stand without hiding by sinking into one hip or crossing the arms, or waving them about. He is just standing and saying as it is. But don't call it stiffness. Vulnerable.
"Alzheimer’s Is Not Normal Aging - And We Can Cure It"
We can cure normal aging also. We just don't know how to do yet.
+Eric P. Alvaro
Lets hope we never do. Death is the great equalizer.
It's not the boredom, it would be the so called 1% not ever being removed from power. It's that it would remain in the hands of those who can afford it. It would also add to the wealth gap.
We already have 7B+ people on this planet, extending the lifespan of the wealthy is a terrible idea.
"It's that it would remain in the hands of those who can afford it"
In the same way that only the only 1% of humanity has means for having a television, or telephone or a computer?
Every technology is expansive in the beginning. Computers and so on. As the technology gets better it gets cheaper.
+DistinctiveBlend And one more thing:
The thing that most exist in the whole universe is resources. In just a minute the sun produce more energy than we ever used, so the universe has resources to support even seven 700 trillion of people, and even more.
So death is a disease that must be cured. Nobody wanna die, and nobody should have to, especially in this short life spam of 100 years top that we humans have
"Death is the great equalizer."
I'm sorry but this conformism regarding death really piss me off. Quoting Dylan Thomas:
"Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
my grandma suffered from alzheimers and my dad suffers from alzheimers right now. i know my chances are high that i will develope alzheimers one day too but i do hope when that day comes, theres a cure for it. i dont want my loved ones to see me waste away the same way i see my dad waste away right now. its horrible. i wouldnt wish this on my biggest enemy
I can’t believe this was about a drug… an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Then what about the people who already has alzhiemer's diesase?
Poor 55m people left behind unable to speak for themselves
seek your answer in the question .. why you have to made drug.. when there is turmeric ....
Interesting to note; controlling and eliminating inflammation in the body reduces the risk of chronic disease.
I had been not been able to finish sentences about 3 or 4 years old, & my MD put me on Aricept & my life has more quality & I'm able too continue living on my own. Thanks for caring, Sir.
Study on the matter of low carb diet and/or healthy keto diet for treatment for Alzheimer's.
Aricept is an experimental drug,and with tons of side effects. Not good for everyone.
Ok so everyone wants a pill for this. But how about teaching people about the low hanging fruit first. That would be addressing the standard american diet, and its correlation with much higher dementia rates than those found in countries that do not yet follow this diet. A red meat and refined carbohydrate based diet has been shown to facilitate cognitive decline of all types, including Alzheimer's. We should ask why the speaker makes no mention of this simple way we can cut our chances of dementia.
Ruth Henriquez - that's not what the studies show. Most Americans get their fats from pizza and fast food. Pizza is mostly wheat, and fast food is mostly wheat, HFCS, MSG, and processed American cheese. There's no need to go vegan especially when you're dealing with cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. These are plant-based Diseases. The standard American diet is unhealthy because of its carbohydrates, not its cholesterol or red meat. Keto is 70 to 80% fat calories and it still includes all the leafy greens you can eat. The SAD is only 35% fat calories.
vaccines and statins have both been implicated in Alzheimer's.
Umm. No. Alzheimer's existed way before either one.
Statins have MANY nasty side effects and little or no benefit, including risk of developing or worsening diabetes, a major risk for Alzheimer's too.
Dolly Madeson The trolls are AEye
Statins are cholesterol lowering drugs. Our brains require a certain amount of cholesterol to function effectively. And because statins lower cholesterol, one of the unfortunate side effects is memory loss.
Sandra Tulloss They may not have caused it-heavy metals-mercury, aluminum in all sorts of applications did-however they make it worse as all pharmaceuticals are harmful -contain fluoride and other ingredients that can have latent effects as well.
My great grandfather died at 105 he never had Alzheimer's a day of his life.
Wow!
Thank you Ted telomere sopport so important and slow down aging and diseases from aging dna also keeping acidic levels at peak good water pure water
Less than Zero Information! And : it comes as a TED Talk. Totally unserious!!!
Ofcourse not. He told about drugs coming up. Don't have a negative attitute to life.
I don't believe this man will help humanity with his "medicine".
I’m a patient sitter and Alzheimer’s patients of a variety of ages from 30’s up make up pretty close to half or more of my patients. Dementia and Alzheimer’s is in my uneducated opinion rampant. It’s really sad.
Great speech! "Today there are 40 million patients like Augusta who can't create the changes they need for themselves. Help speak up for them and help demand a cure". - Samuel Cohen.

Another money racket, just like cancer, give, give and give but No Cure Ballock6
The medical profession and governments have no interest in Alzheimer’s because the elderly are no longer productive. If it afflicted males in their tax-paying prime, there would have been a real cure 50 years ago.
@@astroflight6571 Too many are treating Alzheimer’s like it’s normal aging.
hey, PLEASE READ. DONT IGNORE THIS COZ THIS IS LONG. iam 19 years old and i am showing all the symptoms of early dementia. i find it hard to remember what happens the earlier day, i have low short term memory, i cannot find correct words, confusion in directions, poor judgement and changes in mood. please help. are these symptoms for any other disease too or am i suffering from this disease. i am worried. i thought it was vit b12 deficiency and i took tablets but no remarkable change. please help.
Plaques and tangles have been found in the brains of healthy people. What's being found are small holes in the brain. I understand this is an older video, but it should be updated or have more info added.
So what was given to the worms?
I used to like to think we could cure anything. How much time and money has been spent on cancer research and I know people who cannot be cured. I wish you luck because my mom has Alzheimer's and I wonder about my future.
My family and I operate Care homes for seniors and we see Alzheimer's and dementia on a daily basis. Oh it's something that really needs to be addressed more. I sincerely hope that a cure can be found one day soon. If there any petitions, marches and such available please let me know I will be happy to participate
Ham and eggs. Bullet proof tea. Lose the wheat. If you seriously want to save lives.
@@rawmilkmike really? What is it about these foods that will help?
@@shaniewestllc The brain needs cholesterol and it doesn't need carbohydrates. Especially today's wheat and high fructose corn syrup. Bullet proof tea is tea, butter, coconut oil, and stevia. And there is nothing wrong with sea salt on the ham and eggs. There is a doctor who claims there are 35 contributing factors. He's right but I think these are the top four. And they don't involve any expensive supplements, tests, or exotic foods. I've heard of a case where as little as one tablespoon of coconut oil was enough to bring someone back from Alzheimer's.
@@rawmilkmike --"I've heard of a case where as little as one tablespoon of coconut oil was enough to bring someone back from Alzheimer's."
Bwwaaaaaahahahahahahaha.
@@DukeGMOLOL - You said, “I mock you for free.” That still makes you a troll. Paid or not.
Very good presentation.
The reason it isn't solved yet is the same reason most other diseases affecting the brain--the most complex organ in our universe--aren't yet solved. It's _because_ the brain is the most complex thing we are aware of. We haven't cured depression. We haven't cured BPD, MPD, schizophrenia, autism, or any of the mental disorders. I wish we knew, but I don't think we will see it in our lifetimes. The human brain is just too unique and frankly delicate to know exactly what to do.
+letsgoiowa There are cures for the diseases you mentioned. Those diseases are all caused by chronic inflammation (Except for Autism caused by oxygen diffiency). Removing the chronic inflammation cause, will relieve or heal the symptoms.
Vingalinga Chronic inflammation of what? How does that cause depression?
Chronic inflammation in the whole body. However, the chronic inflammation starts in the bowels. You have to understand how stress works in order to understand how inflammation works. Basically, the 3 main stressors for our bodies, our emotional, physical and chemical stress. These stressors cause inflammation, via different mechanisms. For example, the intake of high sugar in your diet, will cause your liver cells to die off and screw up the healthy/bad-bacteria in ur gut. Both these things cause inflammation (inflammation is pretty much everywhere where cells die off, so also if u smash ur toe into a wall or cut yourself)The body deals with these stressors in the same way: The body releases stresshormones, the most important stresshormone being Cortisol. Cortisol is a very powerfull immune surpressor and it does this to heal the damaged itself. This however only is healthy, if its short time. For long term stress, this means that cortisol is in the blood for prolonged periods of time and causes immune difficiency (remember cortisol reduces immune function in order to heal itself). In our daily lives, we are exposed to so many stresses (daily work stress, chemicals in the food, water, air and bad foods like sugars, GMO's, vaccines etc). This causes people to be chronic inflamed (ie people are constantly under stress). This results in chronic immune difficiency. An important effect of this, is that the gut doesn't function properly anymore, causing leaky gut. Leaky gut means that larger, undigested proteins can enter the bloodstream and create havoc. Through this mechanism allergies and other auto immune diseases happen. the proteins from the food that passed through the gut enter healthy tissue, where they are attacked by the immune system because the body thinks that its foreign invaders. If this happens in the brain, u may get alzheimer or parkinson. If this happens in the gut you can get chrones disease. If this happens in ur joints u can get arthritis etc.
Oh, i totally forgot to answer your question about depression.
Its reasonably simple. The hormones in our body that create 'happiness' like seratonin and (i think melatonin as well, iirc) are produced in the pineal gland, however, their constituents come from the gut. Is is the gut bacteria that produce vitamins, co-factors and hormone pre-cursors, which are in the brain made in to hormones. however, if ur gut isn't fucntioning properly and ur gut flora isn't healthy, this reduces the production of the vitamins, co factors and precursors, which results in hormone difficiency. there's been research done on people with depression and who've been cured by taking pro-biotics to restore their gut flora.
but there are far more cases of Alzheimer then cases of schizophrenia, but I guess its true, our brain is amazing, and amazingly complicated^^
well, this guy has excellent presentation skills.
could he at least mention the mechanism of the drug?
and are these worms used in his study really had Alzheimer's, because i think that would be tedious to try to prove that worms have Alzheimer's. the worms probably had misfolded proteins build up. and the drug works through the proteosome-ubiquitin system, just a guess. anyways like any other presentation on AD: it is the same information (neural plaques+ tangles +...etc then throw some pics on atrophied brains and voila. where is the breakthrough?!
Ali AlSalahat I agree! this was totally disappointing
He never even mentioned MCT oil or high silica water or the keto diet. These together work wonders!!
Stop with the false hope and quackery.
I am sincerely hoping that this research leads to something that can help people in the future. Alzheimers is very complex and while I have not directly dealt with anyone with the disease my comments are only just my opinion.
Dr Blaylock on Alzheimers and Chemtrails ;)
3 tablespoon of coconut oil a day in6 months will do wonders
increase cocunut oil and fast...get rid of all meds...very important and stop all refined carbs flour wheat etc
Thank you
Brilliant, Thank God
Thanks for this video! Gut health can certainly play a role in Alzheimer's! Functional medicine is an amazing tool to reverse Alzheimer's. It involves looking at the root cause(s) behind illness, and healing the gut is a part of that!
Diatomaceous earth can help heal Alzheimer’s!
'you can't prevent alzheimers' .....um yes you can
Take silica
Silica is really good! But it ALL depends how long you have been being poisoned for and how well your cells/DNA, and Chakras respond to detoxing. People don't understand that true healing starts with the flow of energy between each organs pathways. Many people refer to this healing modality as "being positive." Once diagnosed it is very hard to reverse because it took years for it to take place. The heavy metals, poisonous additives and bacteria's go hand in hand and have been causing havoc in you since birth via food, water, air, vaccines, meds. I'm not saying your can't feel better with silica or other methods, I'm just saying that sometime it has to start with our soul first then it helps the physical body.
@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump Dear Vlad, it is COMMON KNOWLEDGE.
How do we stop asimer
However what is done
I knew of somone that never got dementia or something related to memory loss. So that was the grandmother of my dad, she was healthy all her life my dad even told me she used to run faster than him but she had a special diet she was a farm girl so that means the only thing he had to eat was eggs beans fruit lettuce and more, They couldn’t eat processed food. She didn’t sleep late because she would get hit by her fathers so she had a very good diet she needed to run everyday to catch the chickens or had to milk the cows and fill buckets of water of the mountain. If you wanna have a life insured without dementia you should do what she did and if you don’t have anything like that available then play chess run read and that will help a lot too
This is great!
He's right about the importance of dementia but aging is curable as well.
this presentation style is killing me
It's good but also tells about some data on human and preclinical studies
Thank you
As for cause--they need to collaborate with Dt Stuart Hameroff at the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ. His work with Micro-tubules in neurons appears to be uncovering both cause and potential cures in Alzheimer's.
Well we all know why no money's going into educating mainstreamers about healthy diet 😬. Plaque and calcification start donkeys' years before any symptoms. Start young looking after health with diet and lifestyle. Start young meditating, if done properly it gives the brain chance to clean the plaque itself before it gets out of control. You can actually feel it happening, once the neurological pathways start to clean, you get access to memories and their feelings, that you'd long since forgotten. It all starts with what you put in your body though, including air and water quality 💖💖
Meditating cleans plaque and you can feel it while meditating. Bwwaaaahahahahahahaha.
@@DukeGMOLOL works for me, obviously you're too far gone 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💋💋
This is where the numbers don't add up. He says there are 40 million people with Alzheimer's. There are 7 billion people in the world. If those numbers are correct, it is not 1 in 2. I honestly think that we are severely downplaying the numbers. I personally have several family members who have passed away with Alzheimer's and my mother lives with it right now. In her family of nine siblings, at least four had it before they died. That is close to 1 of 2. Pretty much all my friends have a similar situation. Is it because most people call other types of dementia Alzheimer's and he is only counting AD? Or is it because the cases are severely under reported? Either way, this is an epidemic that we keep sweeping under the rug.
From a drug companies perspective, this is a big money earner; they're not going to cure it, but they'll find something for you to buy. The ideal answer is something that you have to take until you die.
tic tok. I am old enough to need this. JUST IN TIME. I have suffered many years from depression. I hope I don't have too wait too long for a cure for that either. Maybe the two are related?
Bravo! God bless you!
Oh yeah a Pill! Yep that'll do it!
