An obvious concern would be whether excessive prevention or removal of AB renders the brain vulnerable to microbial pathogens. We have not yet seen this with experimental-stage drugs like aducanumab. And anyway an argument can be made that the trade-off may be justifiable, in older patients already exhibiting initial cognitive decline.

But this shows how medical drugs are not magic beans, which the laymen doesn't understand. It's why you need an MD to prescribe them, and an FDA to regulate them. And why investors in AVXL need to stay patient, vigilant, and cautious.

ipulator---why would you say a regaining of lost skills (piano player and painter) --"Aussie pump should be regarded as demonstration of unwanted side effects, rather than evidence of a miracle, IMO" please explain unwanted side effects--I thought this was very good anecdotal evidence the drug is working ! TIA

"In reality, the Aussie pump should be regarded as demonstration of unwanted side effects, rather than evidence of a miracle..."
You think they are getting high or something?
Even if that were true... for someone suffering, these are good "side effects"

Are they "high"? Take a close look at this photo of Pauline Stevens - The still photo comes up again at the end of the video - blow it up on the biggest screen you have if you want to and look at her face.

She doesn't look "spacy" to me - looks like "satisfied happy" or something like that. I see old people often and I wish they had Pauline's demeanor.

Reading sheet music and playing from notes is not creativity. It is a learned memory skill like typing or reciting at a spelling bee.

I watched an interview with a concert violinist. The interviewer started to praise him for his creativity but the violinist corrected him to say that what he did was not creativity. He then cited a jazz combo who performs free style jam sessions as an example of musical creativity.

I prefer Aussie media tour to Aussie pump. But I try to see the best in people and companies.
