I just posted something very similar. It would be nice to know what drugs he’s getting, no? Not just because we deserve to know the truth, but there are so many people who might benefit from a better quality of life until a cure is found. It’s profoundly selfish of them to keep it to themselves.

Just an FYI, one of the common drugs that is said to be causing the increase In Alzheimer’s and dementia is statins. Lowering your cholesterol blocks your brain from getting the cholesterol it needs to function. Your brain is made up of cholesterol. It also puts you at risk of developing diabetes.
Also, as we age, our hormone production decreases. Cholesterol is used in hormone production, therefore your cholesterol rises as you age.
It is not the problem they make it out to be as they have decreased the “within normal range” numbers. This was done to sell more of a profitable class of drugs. So when your doctor wants to put you on a statin, do your research before you say yes.
My mother had early onset dementia. She died 21 years after her initial diagnosis, at the age of 77. I believe that we are looking at several different patterns of neurological damage and several different sets of initiating events and substances. Aluminum, mercury, trauma, brain events/trauma, dietary fats (PUFA), metabolic disorders generally, pharmaceuticals both oral and injected seasonally-are stacked against our brains. I wonder if keeping a functioning brain comes down to saying no to allopathic doctors and recommendations.
I would be remiss if I didn’t include the ubiquitous microwave signaling we bathe in daily as a contributing factor to dementias and cancers. And the probable destruction of nutritional value of microwaved foods.
That, and the insulin-resistant type-3 diabetes (someone else already mentioned this in a comment) theory make a lot of sense. Sometimes, there’s just no good reason though. My mother was 100% healthy. No medications at all. She did lots of physical work every day, was at a perfect weight, strong as a horse. She could have eaten better - she loved her carbs - but she was an extremely healthy elderly lady. Given the strong genetic link in my family (mother, grandfather, uncle, others?), I’m passionately interested in minimizing my own risk, so I thank you for the reminder about statins! I try to limit carbs and my cholesterol is high, but it’s because the ‘good’ kind is high, and my doctor is smart enough to know I’m not interested in taking meds to reach some imaginary “ideal” number. I’ve added exogenous ketones too - to make sure my brain has the fuel it needs. Other than that, I just cross my fingers and pray I’m spared! Still, it would be nice to know what they’ve given JB these last few years to keep him on his feet…
Oh, but I think they have! Believe me, I’m not saying he’s cogent/coherent at all, but I truly think he would be far far worse if they weren’t doing something. Considering his abilities 4-5 years ago, and how much he had declined from 5 years prior, it seems (at least to me, having dealt with Alzheimer’s in my family), that the rate of his decline slowed considerably. He essentially stabilized for a couple of years. Now we are seeing the rapid decline again, so whatever he’s been getting, they’ve either stopped giving it (possible, if they want him out of the race altogether), or it’s just not working anymore.

Add in all the recommended vaccines for seniors and you have the perfect cocktail for Alzheimer’s.

Indeed worth mentioning.

Obviously whatever drugs he’s on haven’t helped him.
