Unique visual stimulation may be new treatment for Alzheimer’s

“It’s a big ‘if,’ because so many things have been shown to work in mice, only to fail in humans."

I wonder how many effective human treatments are stopped because they don't work in mice? If a drug trial fails at the mice stage, is any more human-level research performed?

They have other animals that can take the place of mice if there's an adverse reaction, like pigs and monkeys.

Wouldn't it be an unfortunate accident of history if the same frequency works for humans and having a mains frequency of 40 Hz would have automatically prevented Alzheimer's through most people's daily exposure to CRT TV screens and light bulbs.

Or if 60 hz is moderately effective, and the switch to LCD screens increased the rate of severe cases.

The video says that one in three adults in the US will die of Alzheimer's or dementia. But that doesn't match any data I could find. Heart disease and cancer kill over half a million people per year, while Alzheimer's is around 100,000.

This sounds more like like it treats the symptoms than the cause, as I thought that the cause of a disorder like this originates from the gut and it's bacteria..

Isn't this the whole premise of The Lawnmover Man?
