NS...QUOTE...from the University of Wisconsin..."Veterans are at an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease. The goal of the BRAVE study is to find out if a prescription strength dose of fish oil can stop or delay early brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease."

This seems to me to be a clear description of the reason for the Brave study.

Billions have been spent by BP, without positive results...in attempts to prove that amyloid deposition in the brain is the cause of AZ...My thesis has been is that inflammatory vascular disease in the brain is the real CAUSE of AZ...and amyloid is actually a SYMPTOM, emanating from the destruction of neurons... rather than the cause.

The Brave study is poised to show that Vascepa, an anti-inflammatory drug, can be helpful to 'stop or delay' early brain changes associated with AZ....even in a cohort of pre-clinical patients...A positive trend in the Brave study in 'stopping or delaying' early brain changes in AZ will go a long way towards substantiating this thesis.

I believe that the amyloid levels in the cerebral spinal fluids of patients were measured during the study...as well as amounts of amyloid appearing in CAT scans...and these would be important in determining the risk or presence of AZ.
