The researchers found that 80 per cent of the patients involved in the trials developed their own protective antibodies against beta-amyloid without suffering any side-effects over the three years of the study. The researchers believe that this suggests that the CAD106 vaccine is a tolerable treatment for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. Larger trials must now be conducted to confirm the CAD106 vaccine's efficacy. [....] To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. .

I'm wondering why this isn't being trumpeted around the internet as age-related disease are amongst the most expensive and most devastating...

Small study, only three years in, something to hope for, but that's about it.

And I wonder why this kind of article about another vaccine gets trumpted when instead it could be promoting vitamin E and avoidance of aluminum-containing anti-perspirants...

I wish vaccine alternatives were more supported in this world.

Hmmm? Cause and effect: our daily ingestion (drinking water, food) of aluminum is already quite respectable without involving aluminum containing anti-perspirants. The presence of aluminum in patients' brains is merely a symptom of something going wrong with how their bodies are metabolizing it.

Can't wait. Everyone with money is worrying about Alzheimer's. This will put them at ease.

Does anybody remember the 60 minutes episode from a few years back where they cure 19 people of Alzheimers, but a 20th died while in the treatment? They actually interviewed one of the people who described how terrible it was to never know what was going on.

I find it stupid that they would hold back a vaccine due to a 5% possible death rate. Its worse than death. Wouldnt you want a 95% chance to be cured? Its completely worth it for such a disease.
