Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease are proof that God does not exist.

In what universe would a Creator, willingly and knowingly, cause his creations so much intentional pain?

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.

The information is out there. You don’t sound like you’re too interested in anything that isn’t recommended by the insurance companies business decision-making medical board.

So enjoy the results of your standard American diet and your standard American lifespan, which is decreasing because of all the wonderful medical advances that we’ve made in the last few decades.

All of the chronic illness and brain disease that have accelerated in frequency and early onset surely can’t have anything to do with what we are consuming.

It all apparently just happens out of thin air just because we “get old“.

Clearance of plaques doesn't restore lost cognitive function. Last time I read up on all the current theories was that plaques were a symptom of and not the cause of Alzheimer's. Best case is that clearance of plaques *may* slow down the disease. The problem with Alzheimer's research is that by the time someone gets a diagnosis, the damage started occurring 10-20 years prior to the symptoms becoming bad enough to really show up on anyone's radar. Making healthy diet/exercise/lifestyle choices throughout your life is about the most anyone can do.
On a side note: one of the drugs in the pipeline to treat Alzheimer's works by altering gamma oscillations in the brain. I'm not sure if it works by just treating the cognitive symptoms or actually fixing/slowing down the underlying disease.

I'm willing to bet I've spent more time arguing with insurance companies for approvals for non-standard care than you have.


Have a good day.

I'm not sure that we know yet if the plaques are what cause the decline or are just a signature of the disease. The drug Aduhelm helped remove plaques but there was not overwhelming evidence it slowed cognitive decline. So Biogen removed it from the market in 2024.

Would like to know the application process. Would tv screen, laptop, phone, tablet suffice or is it light immersion? Sound I get because headphones or room. Thx

My weird hippy / old word tech idea is that people actually understood how to manipulate frequencies. Resonance can have immense power to move heavy objects, or be focused enough to be used for medical purposes.

This is interesting research but people are overselling it way too fast. Most of those big plaque reductions were shown in mice under very controlled lab conditions using light and sound patterns, not just “listening to a tone” at home. Human studies so far are tiny and mainly looking at safety and whether there are small signals of benefit, not a cure or even a proven therapy yet. It’s a cool direction because it’s non invasive, but it’s still early stage science that needs large clinical trials before anyone knows if it actually helps patients in a meaningful way.

That fundamental hits at 40 Hz. That is why we set the HPF at just below 40 Hz. Anything below that is just mud/boom. The 40 hits hard. It is what shakes the room.

Can I charge patients to come sit in front of my Ampeg while I practice?

Bro, my dad was Paw Paw to his grandkids. Lost him to Alzheimer's 9 years ago. Now, my older sister (72) has been diagnosed with early onset of dementia and they not yet sure if it is Alzheimer's or not. I have another brother (65) who is showing terrible memory problems after COVID put him in ICU for a week and 42 days in the hospital. So far, so good, for me, but I experience old age memory issues, such as, I will be working outside, need a tool for something, go inside and completely forget what I needed. So I turn around, go back outside and *click* , it comes back to me. That kind of stuff, with my family history, is a bit worrisome, so I've started writing a journal with dates and incidents like this to track each incident so that down the road if I start experiencing more serious issues, like, driving to the store and forget where I'm driving to and why (that hasn't happened, just expressing a common concern), I have a record of the types of severity of memory loss as I go along so the doctors have a better understanding of any progression of any disease, whether dementia or Alzheimer's. Hoping for the best, though, in the long run.
