New hope for Alzheimer’s: Groundbreaking Harvard study finds lithium reverses brain aging - Boston Globe

But don't get too excited. This was NIH-funded research at Harvard, so it's double cut by the Trump administration.


So, don't get Alzheimer's.
 
Too bad that research just got cut...

After a Semester of Catastrophic Federal Cuts, Researchers at Harvard Are in a ‘Survival State’ | News | The Harvard Crimson

Across Harvard’s schools, researchers described a wave of destruction following sweeping terminations of federally funded grants. More than $2.7 billion in cuts have come as part of the Trump administration’s targeted pressure campaign against Harvard.

I've been diagnosed early onset.

Right now it is memory issues....but weird shit like temporarily thinking its another decade.

I've never been good with names, now all nouns are suspect although tested, my vocabulary is "above normal"...one of the reasons I engage in these forums. But reading as a hobby is out, has been for ten years.

And....listening to people talk about themselves got old 40 years ago

But it's coming. My dad had it. I'm seeing early signs
 
Sorry to hear that.

Did you see this thread...

 
Thanks for posting this. I don't have Alzheimer's, but my aunt died from it many years ago. I've been using a memory supplement for a couple of years now, and I feel it is beneficial. It does have Lithium Orotate in it, that tiny capsule is taken every other day, the other capsule is taken in between.

 
Trumps dad died of Alzheimer's and he blamed him for catching the disease.
 
Thinking of you, and wishing you only the best. Sending light and hugs.
 
Someone needs to slip a few lithium batteries into Trumps MacDonalds order and tell him it's just a new extra crunchy burger recipe. Maybe he might even start to think like a normal human being? Probably not!!
 
Very sorry to hear. It runs in my family as well. Glad you've taken the step to have yourself checked out so that you can confront it. Lots of people shy away and live in denial.
 

Have you talked to a neurologist about treatment? In the last few years, there have been some very interesting new developments in treatment, especially when caught early.

The President hosted a press conference today, announcing Apple's commitment to spending an additional $100 billion in the US, as he attempts to encourage domestic manufacturing. The tech giant's latest pledge adds to its previous $500 million investment plan, which it announced in February to be implemented over the next four years. Today's announcement will bring Apple’s cumulative commitment to $600 billion, the White House said. The big news was somewhat overshadowed by Trump's awkward senior moment, where he said, "Thanks as well to Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick... wherever you may be." Lutnick quickly called out to the president, "I'm right behind you."
 

Oh my God...
