About 60% of patients experienced improvement or stability for Alzheimers, that's pretty damn good, not gonna lie. The ruetir article is a bit overblown, but erythropoietin does show promise for Alzheimers, Parkinson's, and several other neurodegenerative diseases.
Worth noting that without treatment, 0% would improve, and things would be split fairly evenly between worse and stable. It's not about whether this is better than being a healthy person without Alzheimer's, it's about being better than an untreated person with Alzheimer's. It's a step in the right direction.
Even AES can't do science journalism responsibly -_- https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/alz.036167

49% improved, while 42% got worse. Not sure how successful I’d call that
Worse than some control group baseline or worse than they were doing before the trial? Cause with progressive diseases that distinction matters
Yeah this matters a lot as basically everyone with Alzheimer's is going to get worse.

Compared to our current treatments for Alzheimer’s which is basically nothing, this is amazing
That's a fucking amazing result. Like enough to make me start looking around for the hidden mirrors and statistical dodges.
