A Quick Update on the War Against Alzheimer’s

Ida and AlanThis 6 minute video addresses many questions about Alzheimer’s including the current status of ,  ment and prevention.

Please turn off the television, go to someplace quiet and listen carefully to this outstanding short update.

“We now have a good picture of the stages of the disease, going from this gooey toxic material that sticks to the nerve cells and kills them and then the nerve cells die from within, and then, even worse, the brain sees all this and thinks it’s an attack from the outside and the immune cells start to attack the nerve cells, and nerve cells die by friendly fire.”

~ Rudy Tanzi, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital
