Finding a Cause and Potential Cures for Alzheimer's Disease: Climbing the Ladder of AD Causation

Lucky is he who is able to understand the causes of things Virgil 29BCAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is prevalent in the U.S. with an estimated 6.2 million people age 65 and older currently living with AD. Unfortunately, my mother, a carrier of the ApoE e4 allele, is one of those people. Being trained in biochemistry and chemistry, I decided to identify the cause of AD so a cure for mom could be found.Once the cause of a disease is known it is possible to find potential cures.There have been three major theories or hypotheses proposed as to the cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD):Aluminum AccumulationBeta-amyloid AccumulationCalcium DyshomeostasisData provided by recent research has reached a tipping point allowing a clear view of how all three of these theories play a role in the etiology of AD. This book describes the use of causal inference and recent research to create a unified theory of what causes AD and thereby provides several preventatives and potential cures for AD.Causal inference is a relatively new science that is much like climbing a ladder where each rung is based upon scientific evidence and each rung strengthens the ladder, ultimately finding the cause of a disease. It took years but I slowly climbed this ladder as described in this book and found the cause and a cure for mom’s AD along with drugs and supplements for palliative relief.My mother is now 95 and, although her short-term memory is far from perfect, she can still remember things that just happened. Anecdotal information of others who have had some success with this cure are described in this book. Read more
