It's been decades and with more than 200 trials on medication for this disease have failed,what do you guys think? is an alzheimers cure possible soon?

pretty sure its caused by sugar, so stop eating sugar

Because it's copoer deficiency, a fact which would end thousands of careers and no money to anyone, which means it won't get accepted for generations to come.

o really then why are there no anecdotes of this miracle cure?

The synapses get stuck after computation without enough copper. (Pic related) and copper is necessary for regulating other metals as well.

>> No.12142912

>>12142861
so a copper deficiency is directly responsible for the wrong "cut" of the APP generating the beta amyloid?

>> No.12142922

(op here) does anyone know about the REcode program by bredesen?

Yes, because a copper atom is supposed to be there like this:
With the copper atom missing, another metal takes its place (let's say zinc) and the protein crashes.

>> No.12145841

>>12144800
so you say a copper supplemented diet could prevent or reverse the symptoms?

>> No.12145867

>>12142734
because we wasted and are still wasting a bunch of time on trying to fight plaques which turned out to be a symptom rather than the cause.

>> No.12145885

>>12145841
Yes.

>> No.12146049

So instead of super complex mysterious neuroinflammatory processes in the brain causing AD, super complex and mysterious metabolic processes allegedly involving deficient copper are to blame for AD?

>> No.12146148

We don't really understand the pathology of AD, so it's hard to treat it.

Ignore meme answers like sugar and copper.

>>12145867
Can you elaborate?
