Will we ever be able to look back on Alzheimer’s as a thing of the past?

Research findings can take years or decades to reach the public. Pharmaceutical companies have whole marketing, PR and sales teams working to spread the word. With a breakthrough like this coming from academic and independent researchers, how long it takes to reach people will depend on various factors. How soon do you think we could expect a breakthrough to reach people if it comes from outside of drug companies?

How do you envision people using this someday? It seems like we could treat Alzheimer’s and even prevent it with interior design. I imagine someday every house will have a room with light and sound, or a sensory immersion room with gamma frequency.

I’ve started 5mg of lithium orotate partially because of studies like this:

Apparently one of the reasons the brain gets damaged is through being starved of lithium because of it being trapped by amyloid plaques. Lithium carbonate still gets trapped, but the orotate form can bypass that and start reversing damage caused by Alzheimer’s. Lithium kind of gets a bad rap because of the large doses used for some mental disorders and the horrible side effects it can have. Microdosing it isn’t the same.

For me, personally, I drink filtered / bottled water so haven’t been getting it from too many natural sources anyway, so even without this latest research have been taking a few mg a day, but decided to up it to 5mg now. Worst case, I waste a little bit of money. Best case, I save my brain in the future without the need for expensive treatments.
