Amyloid’s Dual Role Revealed
- Alzheimer's involves amyloid plaques and phosphorylated tau tangles, but these markers don't reveal why the disease happens.
- Amyloid acts both as a neurotoxin and as a protective antimicrobial defense triggered by various insults.
Alzheimer’s Diverse Subtypes
- Alzheimer's has subtypes: inflammatory (type 1), atrophic (type 2), toxic (type 3), vascular (type 4), and traumatic (type 5).
- These subtypes differ in cause, symptoms, and treatment approaches.
Get a Cognoscope at 45
- Get baseline biomarker testing called a cognoscope at age 45 to personalize Alzheimer's risk assessment and intervention.
- Address inflammation, toxins, methylation, and nutrition early to prevent or reverse cognitive decline.
