Could Cleansing Our Livers Unlock One Door To Alzheimer’s Control?

Treating our livers to cure Alzheimer's? The idea sounded absurd to me until I read a news story that changed my thinking. In a story titled, "Liver treatment to cure Alzheimer's," a study conducted in the UK focused on manipulating the accumulation of neuron-damaging amyloid-beta in the brains of laboratory rats.    A... Read moreChevron

Statin Study Shows Promise for Alzheimer's Disease

"This stuff ought to be in the drinking water!"   I remember hearing that from doctors when they first found out how effective the early cholesterol-lowering drugs, known as statins, were.
