The time is now! As the annual Alzheimer's Association International Conference comes to a close, with no major scientific breakthroughs, it's clear that diet and lifestyle are finally being recognized as key strategies to slow down this worldwide epidemic. We've historically had many entrenched factions, with multiple motivations, working to control the messaging on this important topic. We need to step up and become the voices for a population who're unable to speak for themselves... for we are ultimately them. They are our parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles. etc. We need to heal old divisions and bring everyone together for the greater good in much the same way that HIV activist stepped up in the 90s and demanded unification to come up with an effective treatment. Alzheimer's pathology takes decades to develop, the sooner any of us begins working on prevention/remediation, the better. We need to take our message on the road to a much broader audience.
I'm looking for allies in this quest. Let's meet for a brainstorming session via Zoom video conferencing. I have some ideas and I want to hear yours. I'm tentatively shooting for sometime in August. Let me know if you're interested and dates that you are available.
