Blood test may revolutionise treatment of Alzheimers disease | BBC News


Scientists say a simple blood test may revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

A study has found that measuring the levels of a protein in the blood can identify people at risk of developing symptoms of the disease including memory loss and confusion, years before they occur.

It’s hoped that will lead to screening…

  1. There is the problem of false positives. Studies have shown that there are people who live long with build-up of plaque presenting no worrying symptoms. There are side affects with current drugs to slow Alzheimers progress. Is a 5% chance of misdiagnosis worth it? Ask ant-vaxers – they baulk at a 1 in several million chance of complications yet risk 1 in 300 chance of death in 2 COVID years!
    People don't understand risk. Stats don't lie, providing you include "context".

  2. The Chinese government is more corrupt than you imagine! At around 2:40 am on June 10, 2022, a case of provocation and violent assault occurred at a barbecue restaurant in Tangshan City. The Chinese government hiding it for a year and a half then catching the protective umbrella!

  3. 5 years is a long time to wait if the study is saying 95% chance of early detection 😮😮 I think that every time they show news like this, they should also let us know if there is anything the viewers can do to help it happen quicker 🙏

  4. Not sure of the benefit of knowing beforehand. Young people will have the curse over their lives which they can do nothing about. Wont be long before there will be a tickbox on insurance applications though.. you can count on it!

  5. Thank you. It's always good to see we're still progressing in these areas of medicine, even if only slowly. I think sometimes from a layman's point of view, it can feel like we're throwing tons of money at these illnesses and not getting much in return. It's important to talk about the progress for optimisms sake 🙂

  6. Big pharma will just use this as a way to get you on drugs to control the condition. There is no incentive to develop a permanent cure. The new drugs just slow it down. The blood test is just designed to maximise uptake of the new drugs.

  7. Strict diet, exercise and fasting (every day 16/8 minimum); this will cleanse your brain, improve your quality of life, make you lose weight, and reduce the likelihood of Alzheimer´s.

  8. Bless all you the good news rejoice Jesus Christ the son of god is returning soon. The son of man and son of god had done wonderful then like helping the sick and injured, wake on water, cast out demons, feed the many, make the bline see, and raise the dead. Believe Jesus died for your sin with his blood. Buried for three days. An on the third day rose in a glorified body we to will have in the rapture. Repent your sins or face gods wrath of the great tribulation. There be 21 wraiths and if your there in this time don’t take the mark of the beast and accept death in faith to Jesus Christ. The mark be on forehead or right hand. Jesus love and cares about you he will help you feel that hole in your heart all he ask is for you to accept him as your lord and savior and learn about him. True tin the blood.Please spread the message…….STOP DELTEING THE TRUTH
