"The source of the information above is the Alzheimer's Association International Conference. The conclusions based in the NIH findings were based on the scientific belief that you need studies that equal the equivalent of a clinical trial to draw conclusions. That can't happen in research of this type. A clinical trail costs $2 Billion.
The simple fact is you can grow new brains cells. These new brain cells grow in the hippocampus. Alzheimer's attacks the hippocampus first.
In only stands to reason, not scientific reason, that if you offset the death of brain cells with new brain cells you might be able to delay the onset of dementia.
A very simple proposition."
