removes them from the brain<br />i was off by a year<br />i got my first infusion in 2017 and my last one last year in 2023<br />18 placebos then 34 monthly infusions of the real drug<br />the result is no amyloid plaques are left in my brain<br />will it make a difference<br />well<br />ask me in 10 years<br />if i give you a coherent answer or if i can answer at all then i would say yes it made a difference<br />until the next 10 years pass by we wont know<br /><br />this was really on my mind that month in 2015 since i wrote several blogs about it<br />it still is <br /><br />during this time i also was on several walk to end alzheimers committees and gave a short talk at each of them<br />i also was doing several alzheimers talks or conferences as i mentioned above<br /><br />if you are in the alzheimers world i recommend you keep up with the research since a lot will be happening over the next 5 years<br /><b>_________<br />07-31-2015</b></p><p><b style="background-color: white;

/>prevention which should start the day you are born<br />if you are middle age you should look closely at your health<br />it may determine whether you get alzheimers or not<br /><br />second<br />reduce or remove amyloid<br />in the near future folks will be screened before symptoms start and will be started on treatment like the infusions i was on<br />soon these will be given as injections you can do yourself<br />soon there will be pills to take to prevent amyloid accumulation<br /><br />third<br />remove tau tangles<br />there are drugs now in clinical trials that do this<br />they should be finished in 2-3 years<br /><br />fourth<br />treat or prevent inflammation in the brain<br />there are drugs now in clinical trials treating this neuroinflammation<br /><br />my guess these treatments will be eventually started on patients before they develop symptoms<br />sort of like we do now by controlling our blood pressure and cholesterol and diabetes with medication o we wont have a stroke or heart attack<br />now add alzheimers to that list<br /><br />if you or a loved one has mild cognitive impairment due to alzheimers disease or mild alzheimers then you may qualify to receive the drug leqembi and soon donanemab as infusions to remove the amyloid plaques<br />medicare covers the testing and most of the cost of receiving the drug<br />the problem is finding a place that gives it<br /><br />so <br />yes<br />i would say we are there now<br />treatments and better diagnostic tests will be here soon<br /><br />im glad we are finally getting there<br /><br />the

or sleep deprived this morning</p><p>their kids teachers arent dreading this week at school<br />other places like puerto rico virgin islands and guam dont do daylight not savings time<br />now<br />add mexico to the list<br />they all leave their time at standard time<br />so<br />now the migrants crossing over the border lose an hour of sleep<br /><br />now<br />im no advocate of daylight not saving time<br />i prefer the old like it use to be standard time<br /><br />i read that if they kept daylight not savings time all year round that in places like chicago the sun wouldnt come out in the winter until 9am<br /><br />there is a propsed law to keep things standard time all year round<br />but<br />you know how well congress gets things done <br />they dont<br /><br />right now the time change doesnt really affect me much<br />i get up early so whether its 300 or 400 doesnt matter to me<br />the sun is coming up early enough so that at the new 800 in the morning when i go to the garden the sun is hitting our condo good and is over most of the garden and mountains in the distance<br /><br />i did notice i got a little sleepy at the end of the oscars last night and the sun was still up <br />i persisted and made it through the ocars unitl the sun set so i didnt fall asleep until it was dark<br /><br />im like our chickens in the garden <br />the daylight not savings time doesnt affect them any<br /><br />i would hate for them to make daylight not savings time here all year round <br />in the winter i would be going to the garden when its dark<br />something i dont like to do<br />i like to hit the garden after the sun has bursted over the trees and are shining on the distant mountains<br />it helps my inner soul when that happens<br /><br />so <br />i am with

width="158" /><u style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></u>i mentioned the a4 study in this old blog below using solanezumab<br />it went on for 10 years<br />it failed to work using the monoclonal antibody in patients who were prealzheimers ie they had positive amyloid plaques in the brain the hallmark of alzheimers disease but had no symptoms<br /><br />i also mentioned the colombian study using the monoclonal antibodies in patients who have the gene for early onset alzheimers disease <br />those with the gene get early onset alzheimers disease<br />these antibodies did not work in these patients over several years<br /><br />both studies were a disappointment in the alzheimers world<br /><br />i also mentioned the aducanumab study i was trying to get into<br />i first applied online via the biogen website but was turned down<br />later<br />i applied for the biogen aducanumab later called aduhelm clinical trial at the university of texas southwestern medical school<br />i was accepted into the study<br />i found out my amyloid pet scan was positive for amyloid plaques<br />my diagnosis was mild cognitive impairment due to alzheimers disease<br />i received 18 placebo infusions followed by 34 infusions of aduhelm<br /><br />after my 18 placebo and 7 aduhelm infusions my amyloid pet scan was still positive<br />then i received 27 more aduhelm infusions until the study was ended last month<br />my last amyloid pet scan was negative for amyloid plaques<br /><br />i also mentioned the reversal of cognitive decline article linked below<br />all 30+ things he did was more than i wanted to do so i attacked the ones that were more mainstream<br />like <br />controlling your blood pressure cholesterol blood sugar weight<br />staying active mentally physically and socially<br />getting adequate restful sleep and treating any sleep issues like sleep apnea<br />taking b12 for a low b12 level taking vitamin d3 for a low vitamin d3 and taking folate and b12 for a high homocysteine level<br />controlling mental health issues like depression anxiety stress<br />checking your hormones levels like testosterone for men and estrogen progesterone for women<br /><br />many of his recommendations are now being recommended for evaluation and treatment<br />some of them are not they are sort of off on the edges of treatment<br />he and others have also commercialized his protocol<br />i do the ones that have been scientifically shown to maybe be helpful<br /><br />read below to see where we were just 8 years ago<br /><b>________</b><br /><b

many providers primary care and even neurologists are not up on whats new in the research world<br /><br />for me<br />i followed the research and sought out the aducanumab study<br />now that im finished with that one im looking for the next treatments out there<br />eg i need my tau tangles treated and my neuroinflammation treated<br />those studies are ongoing now<br /><br />one problem i have is you have to have an amyloid pet scan that is positive to qualify for these studies<br />mine is negative since the aduhelm or aducanumab removed all of my measurable amyloid plaque<br />making me ineligible for these studies<br /><br />i have tau tangles and have had at least two tau pet scans<br />i have requested to get the results of these scans<br />if i could get into the clinical trials i could get the tau tangles removed from the brain<br /><br />it may be 5 years before these anti tau drugs make it on the market<br /><br />so<br />i have to wait hoping things dont pick up again in my brain or that the tau doesnt progress too far before it can be treated<br /><br />its a conundrum <br /><br />the organicgreen doctor <br /><br /></p>organicgreen

500,000 gallons<br />now<br />it seems it was 1,000,000 gallons of sewage that was dumped into a slough that empties into the goleta beach<br />making it unusable for awhile<br />they will wait until the bacteria counts get low <br />then they will reopen the goleta beach<br />what could be a beautiful clean oasis <br />if it wasnt for all the stuff dumped there<br />four letter stuff now dumped there<br /><br />this area use to have the entry way into a large bay that even had boats coming and going<br />the chumash indians even had a large encampment there<br />over the time the large bay partially filled in with silt <br />later<br />the humans filled it in with dirt so that now thats where the local airport sits<br /><br />in the last two big rains the airport flooded and had to be shut down<br /><br />this beach could be an oasis for folks to use if it wasnt so contaminated all the time by manmade causes<br /><br />cant they just let it recover and return to its natural state

on namenda and exelon<br />exelon is an aricept like medication in a patch you wear<br /><br />later since he started having different symptoms and was not getting better he was diagnosed with lymes disease<br />he was placed on antibiotics and other lymes meds and has improved but has been left with various neurological and muscular issues<br /><br />he was having some arrhythmias and his cardiologist who was trained in a lyme disease area in the northeast united states thought he might have lymes disease<br />she was right<br /><br />now in 2024 kris kristopherson would have be accurately diagnosed<br />he would have had labs memory testing mri and either a spinal tap for amyloid and tau or an amyloid pet scan that would have told his doctors he didnt have alzheimers<br

a blood test will be available for alzheimers biomarkers that will be as accurate as the spinal fluid tests and the amyloid pet scan<br />ie<br />a simple blood test will tell you this is not alzheimers or probably is alzheimers<br />if negative you may need to look elsewhere for another cause of your symptoms<br /><br />other causes i have seen in folks who has reached out to me are depression medications alcohol or drug addiction old head injuries strokes sleep apnea anxiety to name a few<br /><br />so<br />in 2024 you should be able to rule out or rule in alzheimers as a cause

width="186" /><br />today she would have turned 102 years old<br />this is her when she was younger<br />she is my mother <br />she died in her mid eighties from alzheimers disease<br />in the final stages<br /><br />she was a teacher early on and a preachers wife and a mother<br />later in her early 40s she finished nursing school and was a nurse for over 20 years<br /><br />sometime in her mid to late 70s symptoms started<br />once she fell and hit her head<br />a ct scan showed she had a small head bleed and it was noted she also had brain shrinkage that turned out to be due to alzheimers disease<br />it was about that time she got her diagnosis of alzheimers and was started on aricept or donepezil<br />she lived at home her choice for awhile <br />then moved to an apartment in a senior facility<br />then she moved to a long term facility where she remained until her death <br />she died in the late stages of the disease<br /><br />seeing her go through this was my first real experience up close with someone with the disease<br />i had treated patients in my office but when they ended up in a facility i didnt care for them anymore<br /><br />with her progression i got to see what it was really like<br />then later my brother a year younger than me went down that same path<br /><br />her experience and my younger brothers experience made me hyperaware of this disease showing up in me<br />i had this fear of it sneaking up on me like it did them and not realizing it<br />leaving me unaware trying to practice medicine<br />fearing i would harm someone if i got it<br /><br />so<br />when i turned 60 i sought out a clinical trial that would monitor me on a regular basis<br />so<br />that if symptoms would start then i would stop practicing<br />the memory testing showed i had memory issues<br />so<br />i stopped practicing medicine at the age of 60<br /><br />luckily i eventually got on aduhelm which removed all the amyloid plaque from my brain<br />the question is <br />will it make a difference<br />we will know over the next 5-10 years<br />hopefully i will be spared those final stages<br /><br />i know what can happen as the disease progresses since i have seen it up close in her and him<br />i just hope something else get me before it does<br /><br />i will always remember her last part of her journey<br />hoping i dont go there<br />but<br />i also remember her even more before she reached that point<br />as a mom a grandmother as a nurse<br />she was loved my all<br />she was a special person and we miss her today<br /><br />i

width="200" /><br />lets say you want to be a high school science teacher<br />the pay when you finish will probably start out at around 50,000+- based on where you get a job<br /><br />most schools give you a teacher retirement usually full vested after 20 years but that can vary<br />most provide a 401k and some add a 457 plan that you can add money to and let it grow tax free<br />if your school you teach in doesnt pay into social security then you might not get any social security since it will be adjusted for the windfall elimination exemption or wep<br />you will want to teach in a school that pays into social security<br /><br />if you are in high school looking for a career in high school teaching then you need to understand all of the financial stuff before you start teaching<br />most dont<br />most find out the hard way when they retire<br />most find out the hard way when they have to repay their school loans<br /><br />here is one option<br />scenario a <br />here in santa barbara a high school graduates can attend santa barbara community college for two years <br />they will pay no tuition fees books or other similar fees<br />they just need to provide room and board<br />so you could finish the two years with no debt<br />then you transfer to a 4 year school for your last two years<br />or<br />scenario b<br />you could attend for example a state school like the cal state system or the university of california system from day one<br />your cost at a school like the university of california at santa barbara would be about $150,000+ for tuition fees books other fees and room and board<br />at the cal state school it would be a little less<br />or<br />scenario c<br />looking at a well known private university their cost for 4 years of school is estimated to be around $280,000+<br /><br />so what do the students call you no matter where you go to school<br /><br />ms jane smith my science teacher<br /><br />the teacher who followed scenario a if they paid for all their schooling would owe probably around $30,000<br />the scenario b teacher could owe around $150,000<br />the scenario c teacher could owe $280,000<br /><br />teacher a has school debt that would be like buying a new car<br />it would be much easier to pay off sooner than the others then they could buy a house have a family<br />maybe they can do investments in a 401k<br /><br />teacher b and c would probably be paying on their school debt until their retirement<br />it may affect decisions like getting married buying a house having a family and where they can live<br />or do those other investments like the 401k<br /><br />i read horror stories about folks who are teachers that owe over $300,000 in school debt<br />they might never get it paid off<br /><br />luckily most folks live in communities where they can use community colleges to get their first years at a reduced cost or in our location no costs<br /><br />eg years ago i left community college with no debt since i paid my own way by working<br />it did take 4 years to get my first two years in<br />my last two years was in the university of california system<br />i worked got grants and scholarships and took out some loans<br />i left school with a debt of about $3-5000 for my bachelor degree<br /><br />after medical school since i followed scenario a my patients called me doctor<br />my friends who followed scenario b and scenario c their patients called them doctor<br /><br />i left school with a debt of about $20,000<br />many of them had debts of $100,000+<br /><br />is it worth it to go so far deep in debt for school<br />no <br />not if its the expensive path<br /><br />the organicgreen doctor<br /></p>organicgreen

pet scan<br />there is no red out in the brain<br /><br />in the theory of alzheimers the amyloid plaque that red stuff is deposited in the brain<br />it kills brain cells<br />later<br />tau protein tangles form which kills brain cells<br />later<br />inflammation sets up to kill more brain cells<br />these three what i call the trifecta of alzheimers kills brain cells<br />which causes what we see in our loved one as alzheimers<br /><br /></p><p>the approach now in 2024 is to attack each of the trifectas<br /><br />first amyloid is now being removed with my drug aduhelm and the new drug leqembi and soon later this year another drug donanemab<br />all three are antiamyloid monclonal antibodies given as infusions <br />soon they will be given as a shot you can give yourself<br />those studies will be out soon<br /><br />if you can remove the measurable amyloid from the brain what effect does it have on the disease process<br />does it slow it down<br />does it stop it<br />does it make it go away<br />does it slow down the tau tangle accumulation<br />does it slow down the inflammation<br />does it really make a difference<br /><br />here is what we know or think we know<br />they remove the amyloid plaques<br />folks memory decline stops or slows down<br /><br />how long does the benefit last<br />will it really make a difference<br />well<br />we dont know<br />we will know in 5-10 years<br />just follow my story <br />my journey over the next 5-10 year will the poster story for how well these drugs work<br /><br />for me personally if i dont start getting more symptoms for another 5 years then i will be quite content with all my involvement in this study for the last 8 years<br /><br />time well spent <br /><br />here is my story and where i am at today<br />i was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment thats due to alzheimers disease<br />ny memory tests were intially abnormal <br />my spinal fluid is abnormal for amyloid and tau levels <br />i have the apoe 4/apoe 4 gene for late onset alzheimers<br />i have been on aricept or donepezil for 13 years<br />i have maintained my healthy habits<br /><br />in 2015 i located information on aduhelm<br />in 2016 i started a several months evaluation for biogens aduhelm or aducanumab clinical trial<br />my amyloid pet scan was positive like that one above<br /><br />in 2017 i started the biogen aduhelm study <br />i received 18 months of placebo then 7 months of the real drug aduhelm<br />the study was abruptly ended<br />the restart was delayed by the pandemic<br />it was restarted as the embark aduhelm clinical trial<br />i then received 27 more infusions of aduhelm <br />so i received a total of 34 monthly infusions of the real drug<br /><br />recently the study was discontinued and aduhelm is being taken off the market<br />the company co owns leqembi which probably works better than aduhelm<br />they have decided to put all their emphasis on leqembi<br /><br />yesterday day was my final day in the embark study <br />the end of a 8 year journey which i never regret doing <br />i had several hours of memory testing and a neurology exam and a final mri scan<br />the mri scan makes sure i havent had a brain bleed or other issues<br />all of my mris have been normal<br /><br />here is where i stand now 13 years after my diagnosis<br />my initial amyloid pet scan was probably like that one above maybe not as severe as that one<br />the one done after the pandemic was still positive<br />i had had 7 real infusions but only two of those were the high recommended dose<br />in the embark study my next 27 infusions of aduhelm were the higher dose<br /><br />the only problem i had was the onset of ocular migraines that started after my first high dose of aduhelm<br />it was bad enough i would have gone to the emergency room since i thought i was having a brain bleed<br />they stopped the infusions for a couple of months and did a series of mris to be sure there were no bleeds<br />the mris were all normal<br /><br />i continued though to have ocular migraines once a month but over time they got less and less severe such that that the last few months of the study i didnt have any more headaches<br /><br />having the apoe 4/apoe 4 gene put me at a higher risk for brain bleeds<br /><br />i knew the risks and was willing to accept the risks<br /><br />my last amyloid pet scan i had done 6 months ago shows that there is no measurable amyloid plaques left in my brain<br />my scan would look like the one on the left in the picture above<br /><br />my memory tests done yesterday include a mmse and a moca test and others<br />both of these i can score as i go <br />i got a 30 on both of them which is normal<br /><br />my mri scan report will come through probably next week but i expect it to be normal<br /><br />what do i do now<br />i wait<br />when the amyloid plaques reaccumulates in maybe 5-10 years i will need retreatment<br />my choice would be leqembi<br />it probably will be approved to be given at home as a shot <br /><br />i follow the research<br />two new anti tau drugs are being studied now<br />they are in clinical trials now<br />i dont qualify for these trials since my amyloid pet scan is now negative<br /><br />a new antiamyloid pill is being studied<br />new antiinflammatory drugs for the brain is being studied<br />new drugs to alter the effect of the apoe 4 gene are being studied<br />new gene editing to alter the apoe 4 gene is being studied<br />there is more coming in the research world<br /><br />if these come on the market i will probably take one of them<br /><br />i stay on aricept<br />i continue to live healthy<br />i wait<br /><br />so <br />i am done and its gone<br />but<br />is it really gone<br />time will tell<br /><br />the organicgreen doctor</p>organicgreen

width="248" /><u style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></u>what if i could change my genetics<br />my choice would be to change my apoe 4 status<br />or its effects</p><p>what is apoe 4<br />it is apolipoprotein e that is involved in the metabolism of fats<br />it moves cholesterol around in the body<br />cholesterol is a good thing since it is used to make things like steroids in your body and is used to build or rebuild nerve cells<br />the right amount of cholesterol is a good thing<br />too much is a bad thing<br />like<br />causing heart disease or strokes or alzheimers<br /><br />the apoe 4 gene is called the late onset alzheimers gene<br /><br />there are 3 versions of apoe that you can inherit<br />apoe 2 which is good to have as it protects you somewhat from this disease<br />apoe 3 is sort of the half way one<br />apoe 4 increases your chance of heart disease stroke and alzheimers<br /><br />if you get the apoe 4 apoe 4 version then your risk for alzheimers is increased by 10-20 times<br />2-3% of us have this version<br /><br />you can counterbalance that apoe 4 apoe 4 gene by<br /> controlling your cholesterol throughout your life<br />along with doing all other things one should be doing <br />like <br />good blood pressure control <br />maintaining a normal blood sugar <br />maintaining a normal weight <br />eating a healthy diet like the mind diet <br />staying active mentally physically and socially <br />getting adequate sleep <br />avoiding stress <br />limiting alcohol <br />not smoking <br />and <br />doing all the other healthy things you need to do<br /><br />then<br />what if<br />you could change that apoe 4 genes influence on your body<br />what if<br />you could be given a medicine to do that<br /><br />well<br /><a href="https://news.uams.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/REL-Alzheimers-drug-publication-Final.pdf" target="_blank">this research from my alma mater</a> the university of arkansas medical school has developed a new drug that might interfere with the effects of the apoe 4 gene<br />by doing so<br />it will counterbalance the effects of the apoe 4 gene<br />if it works then folks like me might not develop alzheimers disease<br /><br />dont you just love science<br /><br />also<br />this week<br />when you see someone picking their nose<br />say<br />stop or youll get alzheimers disease<br /><br />some researchers think that by picking your nose a lot that you develop inflammation in the nose<br />the olfactory or smeller nerves are up in your nose<br />they have almost a direct line to the brain<br />the olfactory center in the brain is close to where alzheimers stats<br /><br />neuroinflammation is part of what causes alzheimers destruction in the bran along with amyloid plaques and tau tangles<br /><br />picking your nose causes neuroinflammation in the olfactory nerve<br />but<br />could that neuroinflammation cause alzheimers<br /><br />well keep picking your nose and youll

width="272" /><br />this picture showed up on facebook recently <br />i am not sure who to attribute it to<br /><br />this week i have been working on a tool grant for our community garden<br />a lot of our tools are old real old and wore out<br />some are over 12 years old<br />some are broken<br />some are just wore out<br />some are bent <br />some are missing parts<br />some lean to the left<br />some lean to the right<br />so<br />its time to replace them with new good quality stuff<br /><br />so every tool in that picture above needs replaced</p><p>yes<br />we need some new outdoor workout equipment<br /><br />i know folks who spend money on a gym membership<br />i spend mine on a community garden membership<br />around $30 a month for two plots<br />in return<br />i get access to all of this much as you want to use free exercise equipment<br />and lots of organic fresh vegetables and fruits<br />and a place to meditate <br /><br />i also monitor my steps on my iphone<br />on garden days i tend to get between 5000-10000 steps<br />add to that all that use of the garden exercise equipment <br />keeps me healthy physically<br />and mentally</p><p>i may be in the best physical shape i have been in since i moved here<br /><br />plus we have a free vegetable and fruit bar<br />eg<br />yesterday i ate a couple handfuls of sweet peas off the vine<br />a couple of satsuma oranges<br />several leaves of lettuce and kale and arugula<br />a couple of sprigs of broccoli<br />a couple of bananas from the banana trees<br />a couple of strawberries<br /><br />man<br
