Wow!
Wouldn’t this be a game changer… and could explain how rapamycin boosting the immune system seems to work in fighting Alzheimer’s.

Beta-amyloid as the cause of Alzheimer’s, may have been based on fabricated data.

For decades we thought ulcers could be cut away… never worked people suffered. Then treatment with antibiotics cured many cases.

It had already been known the past couple of years at least that the amyloid theory was bunk, and had had data fabricated to back it. I do wonder if the thymus regeneration protocol could have major implications here since it reboots the immune system.

" Based on our past 30 years of research, we no longer think of Alzheimer’s as primarily a disease of the brain. Rather, we believe that Alzheimer’s is principally a disorder of the immune system within the brain"

Yes, We need a new approach to Alzheimer’s disease.

Yes, anything that helps the immune system would stave off Alzeheimer’s.

A better responding thymus and T-cell generation will act on organ repair and as an immune booster.

I am excxited to have made the leap to HGH intervention (for thymus health) with rapamycin.

The end of the article says;

"This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license. Read the original article.

The Sept 2022 article was based on this April 2022: https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/trc2.12283

I think that both articles were already discussed here long ago.

Very interesting thesis though! Curing Alzheimer’s need new theories and approaches.

One problem is that the papers posted are scattered across so many threads, it’s hard to find them all, and the search function regularly fails. So it happens regularly that I post a study, and then find out it’s already been posted months or years ago. My proposal is to have a database where you have to input the PMID number of any study you post, and before you post a study, you check to see if this PMID has already been input, then you can do a search by PMID.

Yes it has many bugs. @RapAdmin needs to update it because it uses a very old version of the software. I assume the newest version will solve most of the problem.

Jesus!

My memory has improved with rapamyacin, but still have a few lapses. Hahaha.

So good, I posted it twice.

At least I am consistent.

It does make sense that a compromised or inflammed immune system would go into protection mode - which can cause more detrimental problems than help.

For some, the immune system reaction to COVID puts certain individuals. Immune cells to mistake the body’s own cells as a threat and react to them, called an autoimmune reaction. COVID -19 can trigger stronger inflammatory responses in males. This inflammation is characterized by an overproduction of inflammatory markers and cytokines, sometimes leading to a cytokine storm and potentially contributing to organ damage.

It is known that rapamycin has a modulating effect on the immune system - preventing the cytokine storm. Keeping the body’s reponse in check and within normal measures.

I believe there is a pretty strong link between a poor gut microbiome and Alzheimer’s. I would imagine a high fiber diet would be important here, as it is for cardiovascular health (notice how both are so closely linked together as new research continues to come out).

HAHAHA, I’m soooo glad to see that I’m not the only one to do this… misery loves company @Agetron

I can not tell you how many times I find something on this site and say, wow, that is great info, so glad I just learned this…
