Recently, the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation gave researchers a $3.5 million award for promising early detection Alzheimer’s tests. We speak to Olivier Danos, who is working with researchers on developing a non-invasive test that could detect MCI and early Alzheimer’s..

Researchers at Georgetown and four other institutions discover a blood test that can predict with 90 percent accuracy if a healthy person will develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer’s disease within three years.
A breakthrough in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease has just been presented at an international Alzheimer’s Association conference. CBS2’s Dr. Max Gomez reports.
Scientists are closing in on a long-sought goal _ a blood test to screen people for possible signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Half a dozen research groups gave new results at a conference on these experimental tests. (July 15). .

A new finding suggests that someday a blood test might be able to predict who will get Alzheimer’s Disease. According to a new study, people with the highest blood levels of one specific fat were 10 times more likely to get the condition.

Blood Test Might Show Early Warning of Alzheimer’s disease Although doctors can use brain scans or spinal taps to detect Alzheimer’s in patients with symptoms, there’s no way to test for the disease in seemingly healthy individuals. THURSDAY, Aug. 1, 2019 (HealthDay News) A simple blood test helped pinpoint the early signs of Alzheimer’s in a new study. Up to two decades before people develop Alzheimer’s symptoms such as. That’s why a new early warning system, requiring just a small blood sample and giving several decades of warning, could be revolutionary.
The new process works using mass spectrometry to ionise and scan blood for a particular peptide or amino acid compound thought to be linked to amyloid beta concentrations. While a lot more testing is required to verify the link, it’s a promising start. A blood test for Alzheimer’s might be just two years away.
Abdul Hyeat King’s College London and his colleagues have identified 10 proteins in blood that can predict who will develop Alzheimer’s.

The test works because Alzheimer’s disease greatly magnifies transience above and beyond any changes associated with normal aging.
These results suggest that elevated plasma homocysteine may be an independent risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia (Seshadri et al., 2002).
levels; after 30 days, early-onset Alzheimer’s patients saw a decrease in blood levels of histamine of about 55% compared with baseline, whereas late-onset individuals saw a 45% decrease.
Tests of B12 and folate levels are now part of the standard workup for dementia, or unexplained neurological or functional decline (Damon and Andreadis, 2017).
These reports suggest that the brain of patients with Alzheimer disease is associated with inadequate antioxidant status and/or increased oxidative stress.

They begin with Breaking news, GREAT News to share: They revel in the fact that they can tell you if will get a dreaded disease, 2 decades prior to showing symptoms..I ask: Would we not benefit far more from news regarding steps we can take right now, that better our chances of not getting AD? Reports like this and others, convince me that Big Media LOVES disease and its detection as opposed to natural cures and empowering information to impact our genes to steer us clear of disease.
AD and other dementias are avoidable if we take steps while we are healthy. A Plant Based diet is the most important step towards overall health and certainly brain health. Working out, movement, socializing and spiritual work. Also, make sure your environment is free of noxious fumes, like mold, as 70% of all reports of AD result from exposure to this or a similar brain toxin. This is your recipe for health and avoiding AD. But, the News Media will never report this!
hey all, The most success that I have ever had was with Rays perfect remedy (just google it) Without a doubt the most amazing results that I have ever had for Diabetes.
This is just more garbage from your friendly drug pushing company. Test = no healing = no cure = worthless. Put your faith in God and never in man. Peace.
Nice test but no cure if you have it. The ONLY thing this is good for at present and that’s only if future test results become more valid is long term care insurance.
Human restraints are NOT effective treatment for those with alzheimer’s! Prion Diseases are triggered at any age by things like unsanitary conditions, human restraints alone, ect..! The medical field must be reminded medieval treatment should have ZERO tolerance in the medical field!
A terrible disease that I hope no one catches, but being able to catch it early on will help a lot of people, for early treatment and planning for lifestyle changes proactively.
Thank you so much for this report. My dad had Alzheimer’s for 10 years and passed away a month ago. If you can afford it, please think about donating to the Alzheimer’s Association.
There are some things you don’t want to know, and this may be one of them… Not until we have a reliable, effective way to treat and cure it.
