This paper on the reversal of Alzheimers is a repudiation of just about everything that rationalist-reductionist, fascist, top-down, pill-cure medicine is about. I will comment more on it, but see for example the section on Systems biology and systems therapeutics, and items such as this: (My emphases.) Given the many inputs to the APP [a precursor protein to the plaque in Alzheimers] signaling balance in humans (e.g., estrogen, netrin-1, Aβ, etc.), and the MINIMAL SUCCESS WITH EACH of many potentially therapeutic agents (e.g., estrogen, melatonin, exercise, vitamin D, curcumin, Ashwagandha, etc.), the pathobiology of AD dictates a SYSTEM OR PROGRAM RATHER THAN A SINGLE TARGETED AGENT. Successes with other chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, NEOPLASIA (CC: Monica Hughes), and HIV support the efficacy of MULTIPLE-COMPONENT systems. The authors of the paper further describe how lifestyle changes and a cocktail of supplements (including those that only had minimal success when tried in isolation) result in reversal/improvement of early stage Alzheimers. One of the diets described eliminated gluten and processed food, and increased vegetables, fruits, and non-farmed fish. This is the future of medicine, and the cronyist-statist axis of big pharma, big medicine, and big government has missed the boat. (As the authors say: …in the past decade alone, hundreds of clinical trials have been conducted for AD, at an aggregate cost of billions of dollars, without success.) impactaging/papers/v6/n9/full/100690.html
