Japan set to approve Lilly's donanemab to treat Alzheimer's disease

Drugs to slow cognitive decline are badly needed in Japan.

Hopefully, these drugs will be subsided by the government.

Kyodo reporter's needed to have dived just a little deeper:

In the clinical trial, among people receiving donanemab, micro-bleeding occurred in 31.4% and brain swelling in 24%.

ARIA usually does not cause symptoms, the company said in a release, but it can be serious and life-threatening. In the trial, three people died from a serious case of ARIA.

One has to wonder if regulatory approval in one of the world's most aged societies involved the exchange of thick brown envelopes.

Alzheimer's can not only be prevented but reversed with a low-carb diet, B vitamins, fish oils and exercise.

I'm not a fan of treating the symptoms of anything with pharma products. Let's focus on the causes and prevention.

Alzheimer's can not only be prevented but reversed with a low-carb diet, B vitamins, fish oils and exercise.

Any links to respectable medical organizations saying this?

Any links to respectable medical organizations saying this?

Research is conflicting on this, apparently due to most studies involving self-reporting of dietary habits. The National Institute on Aging in the US has an interesting article that includes this study,

In March 2023, scientists completed a study of the brains of about 600 older adults who died at an average age of 91. Brain autopsies found that people who had reported sticking to a Mediterranean or MIND diet showed less evidence of Alzheimer’s pathologies, including tau tangles and amyloid plaques.

The above qutoe does not state this:

Alzheimer's can not only be prevented but reversed with a low-carb diet, B vitamins, fish oils and exercise.

And it sounds like the top quote is from a single study.

As I asked, are there any respectable medical organizations stating that Alzheimer's can not only be prevented but reversed with a low-carb diet, B vitamins, fish oils and exercise?

What constitutes as reputable? There is a lot on this. Also, get off industrial processed 'foods' for a start. Plenty of evidence that consuming these concoctions are an issue regarding the development of Alzheimer's.
