    Hell yeah! I remember dong a paper in college about an upcoming Alzheimers treatment that was considered cutting edge in like 2010 - something to do with blue dye having a positive impact on brain chemistry?

    Looks like this is the drug I'm thinking of. At any rate, Cuba once again continues to be based, and hope they're able to do more good work!

      This is an Erythropoietin based treatment. I think it's restoring and protecting the Extracellular Matrix and surface protein structure, but I've literally spent 30 seconds on the paper.

      It's a known treatment for anemia and had been speculated to be used for stuff like stroke patients before but usually it's not well tolerated enough to be used by older people. Looks like they solved that.

      Fun fact, it was Lance Armstrong's main secret doping agent.

        I didn't read it either, just made sure it was the thing im thinking of. Thanks for the info! One of my grandparents passed from it, so its something I kinda keep an eye on every so often!
