Great article. One minor error.

Those suffering from Alzheimer's, or treating or caring for them, have never read or learned of such a treatment; one that a) either keeps cognition at baseline or actually improves it, and b) has no adverse side effects.

One minor error. The article claims that the symptom-causing waste proteins are "misfolded." No, beta-amyloid and tau tangles, are both protein wastes, but not "misfolded." They are simply accumulated, not cleared as with people who do not have Alzheimer's. All of our neurons produce beta-amyloid and tau protein wastes. If we don't have Alzheimer's, if our normal, properly-folded waste-clearing enzymes are functioning those wastes are continually cleared. Our neurons function properly.

The misfolded proteins in Alzheimer's are enzymes, which, because they are literally bent out of shape, don't work anymore. You couldn't start your car if its starter key was bent 90 degrees along the shaft. Anavex 2-73 restores normal, effective enzyme synthesis in neurons.

Only a very minor point. The article was just fine. It certainly will open new minds to Anavex 2-73, giving, as we have, some great hope for future benefits.
