Does this actually result in improved symptoms?

Mostly in late onset cases if I remember the OP correctly.

Wife has early onset dementia risk from her dads maternal side. Its low because her Native Alaskan side doesn't have that.

She does sudoku like a pro and does similar things with other puzzle games.

Article on another approach, the tracking algorithms on my browser doing work.

An elixir for keeping our brains and bodies younger may already be sitting on pharmacy shelves across the United States — if only we’d take advantage of it.

I’m talking about the shingles vaccine.

quote:

And the results, published in April 2025, were striking: Receiving the shingles vaccine was associated with a 20 percent lower chance of being diagnosed with dementia. Those findings held up to all kinds of veracity checks — and they were repeated in similar natural experiments in Australia and Canada (the latter also co-authored by Geldsetzer). A December 2025 study based on the same Welsh data concluded that people who already had dementia and received the shingles vaccine saw slower progression of the disease and fewer deaths, suggesting that the shot may be effective in treating dementia, too.

quote:

So the circumstantial case for the shingles shot has grown robust — and now we’re starting to get lab-based research that could explain why this is happening.

A pro-vaccine biased article, nonetheless with positive implications worth considering for a terrible disease currently having no cure.

Statistician in me has me so very curious as to what the mechanism is involved there

I support old folks and immunocompromised getting the shingles vaccine. That shite is awful when your older from experience with my parents.

fricking chicken pox

you arent wrong given how some commercial clinical trials are run..

Although its alot better now than it was back in the hey-day of biostats.

Still. Statisticians are the lawyers of mathematicians.

All the trial stuff I've read is broken down very specifically regarding the participants.

Admittedly, I didn't study anything prior to 2018.

The answers (results) are indeed in the details.

I feel like they do a good job relaying the possible side effects in the ads.

You questioned it. It sounded like you might be interested in further research into it.

I merely pointed you in a direction that you could become more informed on the topic of the often highly beneficial yet largely ignored role nutritional therapy can play in preventing common diseases, conditions and syndromes.

A balanced diet, avoiding processed foods, and high sugat, maintaining proper weight, and exercising can absolutely contribute to a longer, overall more healthy life.

That is well known, and generally accepted as fact.

I took your earlier statement to mean you were aware of specific diets that could reduce the onset of Alzheimer's and/or ALS.
As it stands now, AFAIK, there aren't any specific dietary recommendations that reduce the risk to the overall population beyond the general recommendations that we should all follow anyway.

Lifestyle modifications are great, but aren't going to reduce Alzheimer's risk in any meaningful way, statistically speaking.

Preventing the formation and buildup of amylold plaque is the solution, I think.

We tend to think of Alzheimer's as an old person's disease, and it generally is, but early onset is not uncommon. The first person diagnosed with it by Dr. Alzheimer was a woman in her 40s.

Been hearing a lot lately that nicotine- not tobacco necessarily mind you, helps with Alzheimer's
