I must be dense, but I don't get why we look at only the effect and not the cause. If fat deposits do cause Alz, then instead of looking at how to clear those deposits, we should also really be looking at why they occur in the first place. Diet, environment, stress, etc.?

I read an excerpt of an article from "What Really Causes Alzheimer's?" and the author was saying that Alzheimer's is caused by an overload of aluminum (from food packaging to cookware to utensils and even from polluted air) the effect of which, because of mineral and vitamin deficiencies/imbalances in the body, is exacerbated into disease.

It is sad to wonder what progress could have been made if we had been looking at these fatty deposits that, as this researcher pointed out, Dr. Alzheimer herself mentioned over a hundred years ago.
