Comments:

Arrogance & money equals poor science. Science Magazine has found many questionable images in the publications of the work by Sylvain Lesné, a neuroscientist and associate professor at the University of Minnesota.

Not one bit surprised. I don't believe the science of cl$mate change, COV$D,, or other malad$es that have surfaced in recent decades as sc$ence has evolved.

Two things. I am grateful that this author is calling out all the covid B.S. "Science" that we have suffered with. It's high time that scientists were held to account like scientists should be. Coming from a family of engineers I've always said that while the Humanities can thrive with a pat on the back from your colleagues, the 3-dimensional universe has a way of catching up to you. Second, having recently lost my father to Alzheimer's I have discovered that the Keto diet and related ketone therapies are offering remarkable results in treating Alzheimer's and Dementia patients. It's not a cure, but it appears to be taking us in the right direction. If this "scientist" who produced this study actually doctored his data then he must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This is beyond professional malpractice. And, where were the peer reviewers?

#1, you need a new "I" key. If fabricated science is acceptable, that opens up a whole world of lies, cheating and offenses against humanity. All medicine, pharmaceuticals and diseases are now suspect. No wonder nine out of every ten TV ads are for drugs.

When science became a religion it lost its credibility. Faith is the basis for believing in God but not for science. Science requires rational hypotheses, understanding, repeatability by other experiments and experimenters. This holds true for climate, infections, vaccines, and even economics amongst all of the fields of scientific inquiry.

They need to look at the clinical trials for Sanfilipo Syndrome which is best described as childhood Alzheimer's for therapies. I follow haidynshope on Instagram. I encourage you to follow her. Her case is too advanced for clinical trials but she hasn't given up.

When we put my mother into assisted living we went over her medications with their staff. One by one. We had the ability to nix any medication we wanted. Most patients are over medicated. When we got to the specific Alzheimer' s medications we were told that the studies did not show any benefit to the patient. While it did not appear to help it also did not appear to harm. It cost a small fortune. Since Mom was already far down the Alzheimer's rabbit hole, and would never get better, we took her off those specific medications. We were told that all families were given that same info and very few families dropped the medication because they couldn't believe that it did not actually help their loved one. Why else was it on the market? The medication was geared toward those with early Alzheimer's not those who had already lost that battle. It appears it helped no one but their bottom line. After all the lies over Covid my trust in our pharma companies and all their "studies" is down the toilet. My guess is that 75% of our fine representatives in Washington DC are on the take.

This is old news. The lackluster slowing in AD progression from Lilly's donanemab despite its FDA breakthrough designation has changed the minds of many researcher's about causal relationship between AD and amyloid plaques. The latest hypothesis is that the plaques are a symptom of another underlying degenerative problem that affects protein synthesis. This causes the neurons to lose efficiency and connectivity. One candidate, Anavex 2-73 is in late stage clinical trials and scavanges chemicals that increase with age and have this effect on neurons. Committing scientific fraud and being uncoverred is usually career ending. The real problem happens when the people watching the watchman are in on the fraud as well.

I learned, while working with the state health officer and listening in on their meetings, that a study, poll - whatever - is only as good as the person conducting it. Why do you think everyone is now diabetic, has high blood pressure, has high cholesterol? My diabetic pills are $2000 for a 90 day supply. Since I was diagnosed in 2007, acceptable blood sugar levels have gone from 90-190 to 70-140. A1C was fine at 7. Now they want you at 4 or 5. Just think of all the pills they are selling now.

I made a comment n this article yesterday, that I had learned in my high school Biology class about the importance of natural animal fats in our diet. In school at the height of the "don't eat fats," and "cut as much fat from your diet" craze, all because someone had decided that the fat you ingest becomes fat in you arteries. McDonald's ruined their fries, going from frying in beef fat to vegetable oil. Remember the movie theater popcorn scandal? Now the "eat fat, clog the arteries" "truth" is being questioned. The brain NEEDS fat to be healthy. As #2 said, his/her Dad seemed to make improvements following a Keto diet. What is the Keto diet known for,? It's a return to the liberal use of healthy FATS. My very amateur medical observation tells me that for the past 50 years "they" have said that fats were very bad, and, like eggs, coffee, bacon, and a ton of other things, they were wrong. Rather that advise the public to eat everything in moderation according to our body types, it has always been all or nothing. Doing something wrong for 50 years may do damage. I'm sure that the answer is far more complicated than my simple observation. Heredity, the fact that were are living longer, maybe the are environmental factors, but faking a "study" to conform with their findings is cruel. BTW...#9 is totally right about Diabetes. They have lowered all of the old parameters instantly creating new diabetics. My best friend was on Metformin for about 5 years. She became a regular "poopy pants" and decided on her own to stop taking it. (That, I don't recommend) She did keep up with her testing 3x's a day, and watching and adjusting her sugar intake. 10 years later and there has been no significant change in her A1C. Sadly she is still a "poopy pants" because that is one of the lasting effects of Metformin.

For everyone who wonders why. Fortune and fame. Being a research scientist is a lonely, unheralded profession. It is only when something revolutionary comes out of the research that the person or persons involved gain renown and pecuniary fruits of their labor. That is a hard thing to resist - to admit that your theory is flawed, thus losing years of work. The problem is that the fraud from the lies is destructive to society as a whole. That is not so easily forgiven.

What nobody has mentioned is the opportunity cost of this fraud on Alzheimer research. Once this fraudulent "cause" was accepted, research of other causes and treatment candidates ceased to be pursued and funded. Almost all such research comes from NIH and Pharma. Fauci and his peers/cronies at NIH, CDC, and Pharma went all in on the plaque theory and quit funding other promising research and others had to comply to get funded. But nobody will be held responsible. Not even the actual "researcher" who doctored the data.

A comet that was discovered earlier this year is expected to fly by Earth next week on its journey through the solar system, and it will be the only chance you’ll ever get to observe the celestial object. Comet Leonard, also known as C/2021, will make its closest approach to Earth on Dec. 12, according to NASA. The comet was discovered earlier this year by astronomer Gregory Leonard, hence its name. EarthSky describes C/2021 A as “likely to be 2021’s best comet, and its brightest comet by year’s end.”

After Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder read through nearly 40 pages of jury instructions on Monday, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger began the prosecution's closing argument in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Stretching on for more than two hours, Binger's closing argument meandered through a selectively chosen set of facts that defied logic, ignored reality, and seemed at times unbelievable. 1.

The holiday season has long been a source of contention for many families, but this year families may be even more divided with almost two-thirds of fully jabbed Americans reportedly planning to ban their unvaccinated relatives from holiday festivities. The November 2 study by OnePoll analyzed the responses of 2,000 U.S. residents about how the COVID-19 vaccine has influenced relationships with loved ones.

Ecuador shuns socialism with Lasso's surprise election 5 replies

Banker Guillermo Lasso unexpectedly won Ecuador's presidency on promises to revive an economy battered by the coronavirus while his rival's vows of a return to socialist largesse failed to win over a skeptical electorate. Lasso took 52% of the vote in the runoff following a campaign that pitted free market economics against the social welfare plans of economist Andres Arauz, a win likely helped by a ballot spoiling campaign that left one in six ballots void. Markets welcomed the news following months of concerns that Arauz's social spending plans would upset the government's delicate finances.

Because most people don’t know a farmer personally anymore, everyone should realize that they don’t make piles of money producing our food. A good year can be followed by three bad ones, and 2022 has been a burden.

Joe Manchin cast the deciding vote for the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, and it may end up costing him his political career if a new poll is to be believed. Manchin, who had originally pledged not to sign on to any new spending bill during the country’s current inflationary boom, suddenly switched his position at the end of July. The bill he negotiated, which cost nearly a trillion dollars, was full of wasteful green energy subsidies and payouts to special interests. It also represented a stabbing in the back of Republican senators who had trusted him to keep his word about reconciliation after voting for the CHIPS Act.
