    Alzheimer’s is reversible.

    Per the study posted yesterday which i do not have handy but some enterprising soul may care to search for.

      X to doubt.

      You can find single studies claiming all kinds of crazy things. It keeps the popsci sites in business and apparently looks good to whoever is employing the yahoo researchers in question.

      If there’s a credible medical breakthrough you’ll know because all kinds of scientists won’t shut up about it. After CRISPR was discovered back in 2016, it was absolutely everywhere for months.

        It seems that many people suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia experience occasional short episodes of lucidity (especially when nearing death).

        This suggests that memories, personality, and reasoning ability might not be (entirely?) destroyed, but simply inaccessible or unable to work properly, and that if the root cause for this malfunction could be treated a partial or even total recovery might be indeed possible…

        This. Neuron damage is not reversible. That’s an absolutely dishonest claim

        It’s just mice.

        I will wait for multiple replications in different populations before getting my hopes up.

      Alzheimer’s is reversible

      Bullshit. Is a neuron loss disease, neurons don’t come back from the dead.

      Animal models do not get Alzheimer disease, and mice have a level of plasticity not seen in humans.

      FDA has approved two Alzheimers drugs recently and neither work, and have caused deaths from brain bleeds. FDA is corrupt.

      People will get a far more protective effect from Alzheimers from keeping current with vaccines.
