RE: Intriguing Blog Title Overhyping Somewhat Disappointing Content

in #epicblog6 years ago

@hlezama,

I've been studying the brain for almost 20 years.

Eight years ago, my Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. My daughter and I turned our Dining Room into a biological laboratory. She's won more Science Fair Competitions than I can count and, even back in Middle School, she started receiving invitations to present her findings at universities (which she did). She's currently in Grade 12 and her university applications will start going out in a week.

The brain is a common subject of conversation in our household.

Kudos to your daughter. That sounds like she's a prodigy. How did your mother's disease evolve? Is there effective treatment over there?

@hlezama,

She's in the late stages. It's bad. And treatment, nothing? The medical research community has been barking up the wrong tree for thirty years, having utterly wasted untold billions of dollars.

It's finally starting to change ... but to redirect "the consensus" is astonishingly difficult.

Interesting tidbit: The lowest (almost non-existent) levels of Alzheimer's in the world is around Lake Maracaibo ... the rest of Venezuela is the same as other places ... it's just that one locale.

I have a theory as to why but it would take a number of posts to explain. Someday.

Wow. That's sad.
We have a lot of people in our family fading into oblivion.
It is amazing how the scientific community can be as lost as politicians when it comes to doing the right thing. I wonder if it has to do with politics or interested parties influencing their decisions.
I hope one day you can write about your Maracaibo theory. I wonder if it has to do with the Catatumbo.

Catatumbo generates gargantuan amounts of ozone. The lake is surrounded by a "wall of mountains." The people who live on the shores of Lake Maracaibo live inside a giant ozonator.

Ozone is an extremely potent anti-microbial agent. The evidence of Alzheimer's Disease being caused by microbes is enormous. And, Alzheimer's always originates in the Olfactory Bulb ... which, incidentally, is located right next to the Hippocampus: Ground Zero for Alzheimer's.
