My little son is only three and a half years old and has a neurodegenerative disease (gross brain atrophy). Is there any drug for the treatment? I am very worried about him.
Thanks

If the older population can have multiple pathologies why aren’t you studying younger people who have these disease?
I also worry abut the inclusion of older people in clinical trials for these diseases.

How does the law look at AD? If a person commits a crime, but it found that they have AD or dementia can they be charged with a crime?

Too bad they are concerned about how many hours it takes to find info from the patients. And the chart on how much it costs, for Alzheimer’s, the costs come from the pharma and profit hospital costs.

EPOe4 is an allele and not a "gene", the gene is EPOe. This is very basic....

well, i am pleasantly surprised, quality here, . But, me thinketh someone's toes feel stepped on. Not a shocker that he is invested deeply in every aspect of his ego, self-definition, training, development of business and academia, and pharmaceutical. Saying 'who knows?' when it comes to understanding the basics of nutritional physiology, as in the classic, b12 deficiency can present as Alzheimer's, I think he rather purposefully misses the boat with excluding understanding causation, and looking to the molecular metabolic pathways and all the nutrients, and those molecules we take in and what our body has to do to respond. ie: sugar and insulin, immune function. We are our nutrients, our very molecules depend on them to exist, and the language is chemical, you can only diss that if one is invested in not knowing. Shame.
