Looking beyond the spin of Big Pharma PR. But encouraging gossip. Come in and confide, you know you want to! “I’ll publish right or wrong. Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.”

It may not be possible to cure, or successfully treat Alzheimer's, but new non-familial cases could be prevented if men learned to father their babies in the mid 20s to to 33-34. A very prominent Alzheimer's researcher Dr. George Bartzokis explained why older fathers have more offspring with Alzheimer's, autism. schizophrenia, type 1 diabetes, MS, Crohn's disease:
"The issue is that the older man will have sperm that has undergone more divisions and therefore had more chances to have mutations. The COMPLEXITY of the myelination process makes it more vulnerable to mutations. I am not talking of one specific mutation. Many things could MANIFEST in the myelination or myelin breakdown process because it is so vulnerable - something going slightly wrong will impact it while it will not impact bone growth or the heart. A good example is ApoE4 - whatever else it may affect, it manifests in the reduced capacity of myelin repair and earlier onset of AD."
