Summary

Due to Alzheimer's research focusing on a symptom of it (amyloid plaques), rather than its actual cause, Alzheimer's has remained "incurable" for decades
Rather than being a single disease, Alzheimer's has multiple different subtypes (e.g., those due to insulin resistance, nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, infections, or concussions), each of which requires a different treatment
Impaired blood circulation to the brain and lymphatic drainage from the brain are often the primary trigger that initiates the degenerative process seen in Alzheimer's disease. Factors which impair this circulation (e.g., poor sleep) hence roughly double the risk of dementia, while treatments which improve this circulation frequently produce remarkable improvements for cognitive decline and dementia
DMSO is an effective treatment for brain injuries like strokes, and well-suited to address many of the root causes of dementia and reverse the degenerative state that dying neurons get trapped in. Because of this, there are many reports of it reversing dementia and clinical trials in both humans and animals corroborating these improvements
This article will review the actual causes of dementias like Alzheimer's and the forgotten therapies many have successfully used to cure them

0:21.7	Hello and welcome to Dr. Mercola's cellular wisdom. I'm Ethan Foster and today you'll hear
0:26.9	why chasing amyloid plaques has kept Alzheimer's incurable, how distinct subtypes change
0:32.7	everything about treatment and what forgotten strategies, especially those restoring circulation and cellular
0:38.8	resilience have shown in studies and real cases.
0:42.3	I'm Alara Skye. We'll keep this direct. You'll learn the key subtypes of Alzheimer's,
0:48.3	why impaired brain blood flow and drainage can set the disease in motion, how sleep fits the puzzle,
0:53.3	and why a decades-old compound
0:55.6	DMSO appears to revive stalled neurons and improve cognition in animals and humans.
1:02.6	Billions have funded amyloid-targeted drugs, yet benefits remain marginal at best. The newest
1:08.2	monoclonal antibodies may slightly slow decline while triggering serious
1:12.5	adverse events, including brain bleeding and swelling in over a quarter of recipients. Meanwhile,
1:19.1	the societal cost is enormous, hundreds of billions of dollars each year, yet progress
1:24.4	stays stuck because a symptom has been treated as the cause.
1:28.3	Dale Bredesen reframed the problem.
1:30.3	Amyloid acts as a protective response to brain stressors.
1:34.3	Eliminating it without addressing those stressors misses the mark.
1:38.3	Your brain constantly balances growth and pruning.
1:41.3	Alzheimer's emerges when signals that sustain neurons fall behind the
1:46.1	signals that dismantle them. Crucially, there isn't one Alzheimer's. There are multiple subtypes,
