Blood tests are being heralded as a new, less invasive and time-consuming way to determine risk and aid in an earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.
@CNN reports on the latest research: https://flip.it/1tupOT
As the #NIH slashes funding for research into #Alzheimer's, #cancer, #COVID & #diseases that inflict pain & suffering, I'm heartbroken & furious. #Early-onset Alzheimer's took my father away from me &, more importantly, himself. Why would anyone in their right mind (right, the mind of the #fascist is almost incomprehensible) do such a thing? If nothing else, a selfish viewpt. says this is idiocy. These cuts are meant to bring us to our knees. Let's resist (& sue them into oblivion).
Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer , Covid , and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever

These are some #NIH grants that have been canceled. Pediatric research? #Alzheimer's? #Covid? Pregnancy & assault? If anyone thinks they aren't affected by #RFK's idiocy, they are living in Lala land.
In this link, researchers describe the work, its benefits, & the impact of its termination. Read it & weep & then write, call, vote, protest -- but don't back down! If anyone thinks it's happening to "them" & not you, think again.

#Cortez-Masto asked #CoryBooker re: these HHS cuts. Acc. to the #Alzheimer's Association, "Bipartisan Alzheimer’s programs like the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure are now at risk due to a reduction in staff & resources. BOLD strengthens Alzheimer’s public health efforts, such as increasing early detection & diagnosis, reducing risk & supporting #caregivers. Congress reauthorized BOLD last year w/unanimous support."
Defend BOLD here.

I am leading a monthly grief support group "Keeping Each Other Company: #Caregiving and #Grief" over Zoom for #HFC, the foundation established by Lauren Miller Rogen & Seth Rogen in honor of Lauren's mother, Adele, who died of early-onset #Alzheimer's. If this is something you think might be helpful, just fill out the the form below & and someone from HFC will reach out. If the group I am moderating isn't the right fit, you will see many other options.

"President Trump has said his administration is taking Tesla incidents very seriously.'“People that get caught sabotaging Teslas will stand a very good chance of going to jail for up to twenty years, and that includes the funders.'" Would that his administration took #free speech, #education, #cancer, #Alzheimer's, & #measles etc. this seriously.

The results from a clinical trial at Washington University on an experimental drug used for slowing disease progress in Alzheimer's patients may also delay onset in people predisposed to the disease who are yet to show symptoms. @ScienceAlert reports:

What destroying the literal health of the body politic looks like. Here is a list of the grants canceled by #HHS. They include research on #Cancer, #Covid, #HIV, #Alzheimer's. As @GottaLaff says, #ProLifeMyAss (I think that's how she puts it).

There are many caveats (sample size, for ex) but this is very good: "Everyone in this study was destined to develop #Alzheimer’s disease and some of them haven’t yet,” said senior author Randall J. Bateman, a prof of neurology at WashU Medicine, in a statement from the university. “We don’t yet know how long they will remain symptom-free—maybe a few years or maybe decades.”
Hands off the #NIH!

This Wednesday at 2pm ET/11 am PT, I'm honored to be leading the inaugural monthly support group -- "Keeping each other Company: #Caregiving and #Grief" -- for #HFC, an extaordinary foundation established by #LaurenMillerRogen & #SethRogen in honor of Lauren's mother Adele who died of early-onset #Alzheimer's. Please join me -- it's on Zoom -- if you are looking for a space to share your feelings, tell your story, or just want to listen to others.
