Alzheimer’s Appears To Start Decades Before Diagnosis
New evidence shows that doctors need to find ways to start treating Alzheimer’s way before symptoms start to appear. Alzheimer’s can be identified by plaques and tangles in the brain.
The analysis of brains done during thousands of autopsies has shown the development of the tangles in people in their twenties in ten percent of the population. The plagues and tangles were seen in fifty percent of the population by age 50.
The thought is just as the first malignant cancer cells fail to produce any symptoms, the growing tangles also fail to produce any symptoms. the both grow to certain state where the overwhelm the body and start to produce symptoms.
The plagues and tangles need to be addressed before they reach that critical state were it is seemingly impossible to do anything about it.
