Every year about 5.4 million Americans are diagnosed. 200,000 of those are under the age of 65. Today, one in eight people in the US, over the age of 65 have Alzheimers.

In fact, people who carry two copies of the Gene have approximately eight to 10 times the risk of getting Alzheimer’s than those who do not have the gene. Up to now though, little was known about how ApoE4 contributed to Alzheimer’s devastating deterioration of the Brain. However, in a ground breaking Study published in Nature and financed by the Alzheimer’s Association and The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation amongst others, scientists from Rochester University and the University of Southern California have shown how ApoE4 can unleash an excess of the Protein Cyclophilin A into the Cardio Vascular … Meer lezen over Jeffrey Epstein – A Vascular Cause for Alzheimer’s?
