Episode notes
Alzheimer's Could Be Optional
- Alzheimer's is now potentially an optional disease with early detection and intervention.
- New tests and treatments allow improvement and prevention at early stages like SCI and MCI.

- Inflammation starts when pathogen burden overwhelms this barrier function.
