Alzheimer’s runs in my family. I’m hopeful for better treatments before it hits me. This is good news.

Same here, but I'm going to have to escape the US to have any hope of aquiring medical treatment.

St. Jude, the research hospital that made this discovery, is in the US.

Apparently, you might at least decrease the risks with lifestyle choices. Especially correct diet, exercise, social factors and sleep.

E.g: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2024/07/alzheimers-study-finds-diet-lifestyle-changes-yield-improvements/

The suggested changes would also help to reduce the risk for heart attacs, strokes, diabetes and some more.

Name one disease that does not benefit from diet, exercise and sleep. Why the fuck do we keep wasting study money on this.

I’m setting up appointments actually this week to get caught up. Who knows when other states start following Florida.
