Big Pharma can't be ignorant of this... They must have known this for 20 years or more.
Well, considering what we have seen on processes like "Evergreening" and all the knowledge/tools/academic resources/private sponsors available you might expect more activity. BP does have resource controls and they will decide what gets approve/budgeted and who gets support. People who do not fit get blackballed.IMO, the funding process seems to not produce as many well developed theories as one would expect. The pieces are all there but there is no pattern to go by and incentives to take risks are non existing. No budget then no staff, no resources, lab space, equipment...research tools are mega $$$.
Not a big conspiracy guy but it does seem like a kind of vacuum exists. For example, what is going to take the place of the Amyloid hypothesis when it is finally exhausted? They are still beating that one long after multiple last calls. Agree, does not make sense. Money does talk.
I think people in general are naturally reactive instead of proactive. It was much easier for big Pharma to think they could reverse something by clearing or slowing plaque buildup. Actually trying to figure out how to fight the root cause is a totally different endeavor.
I and others have put together a reasonable theory that the mitochondrial dysfunction that is involved with most CNS and likely diabetes and cancer too. (see links below)
The drugs and antibiotics we are being given by our doctors are a known source of mitochondrial dysfunction. So are things like heavy metals and Roundup.

This is the disturbing reality of the 21st Century.
Are the Tau and Beta theories just cover stories to keep the con going as long as possible?
