“Alzheimer’s might not be primarily a brain disease. A new theory suggests it’s an autoimmune condition,” by Donald Weaver, The Conversation


Quote:

“My laboratory at the Krembil Brain Institute, part of the University Health Network in Toronto, is devising a new theory of Alzheimer’s disease. Based on our past 30 years of research, we no longer think of Alzheimer’s as primarily a disease of the brain. Rather, we believe that Alzheimer’s is principally a disorder of the immune system within the brain.”

It is definitely high time for fresh thinking about Alzheimer’s Disease, it’s cause and potential cure or prevention.
