Cancer might protect against Alzheimer’s — this protein helps explain why
For decades, researchers have noted that cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are rarely found in the same person, fuelling speculation that one condition might offer some degree of protection from the other.
Now, a study in mice provides a possible molecular solution to the medical mystery: a protein produced by cancer cells seems to infiltrate the brain, where it helps to break apart clumps of misfolded proteins that are often associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
“They have a piece of the puzzle,” says Donald Weaver, a neurologist and chemist at the Krembil Research Institute at the University of Toronto in Canada, who was not involved in the study. “It’s not the full picture by any stretch of the imagination. But it’s an interesting piece.”
a 2020 meta-analysis of data from more than 9.6 million people found that cancer diagnosis was associated with an 11% decreased incidence of Alzheimer’s disease.
The Shingles vaccine is associated with a 20-25% decreased incidence of Alzheimer's disease. -

The Shingles vaccine is associated with a 20-25% decreased incidence of Alzheimer's disease.
Interesting research result. Adds up to other (different) studies.

So, are killing cancer-cells also eat the deposits in the brain?
This should be investigated further…poor mice.
"The Shingles vaccine is associated with a 20-25% decreased incidence of Alzheimer's disease."
With this bold statement is a problem, as with many other conclusions.
Who needs and takes a voluntary shingles vacc?
Only older people, and those who do it at that age, are usually in good health anyway.
So it's not a representative cross-section of the older population. -

So that's a yes. You admit you are still sucking Cock to makes ends meet.
So sad you are. And auch a flaming homo.
