What Dr. Daniel Amen Learned From Analyzing Thousands of Brain Scans
"Important lesson from 83,000 brain scans. What is that lesson, doctor? What is the most important lesson that you derived from now? I think it's what, 247,000 brain scans, right? I mean, it's much more than that now. Is you are not stuck with the brain you have. You can make it better. And I can prove it. And we've done thousands of before and after scans. I do a series on Instagram called scan my brain. And about 16 months ago, I scanned Major League Baseball player, Troy gloss, who's the 2002 World Series MVP. And despite a lot of terrible and for concussions, he was drinking too much. He had lots of dark thoughts, he was suicidal. And I did his third scan last week, and it looked dramatically better. And he's dramatically better, which not only impacts him at impact. So he saw a correlation, you see the healthier brain, you also see symptoms improve and it's proof that this is 99% of the profession is missing it. And it's a long-term play. So it's not just, oh, let me give you this medicine and you're less depressed. Let me get your brain healthy. So long term, you have a dramatically decreased risk. For Alzheimer's disease. And I turned 69 this year. And one statistic that just horrifies me is 80 is 50% of people 85 and older will be diagnosed with dementia, or Alzheimer's disease. And I'm not okay with that, right? It's more normal to be demented that not to be demented. So as I take someone in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s. The idea is not to just get them symptom free to get them to fall in love with their and keep that healthy for the rest of their lives.

Is America in Terminal Decline?
"I saw a very short video that someone posted of the airport in Singapore. He has a little video, and he says, I'm just in awe of Singapore's airport. And you see this magnificent airport with a giant waterfall in the center of it. And it reminded me of airports I've seen over the years recent years like the airport in Seoul, South Korea, another spectacular airport. Which by the way has beautiful facilities, top notch restaurants, you can have salons all in the airport itself. And it occurred to me, wow. Americans probably don't know this, but foreign airports today are much better than American airports. You look at places like JFK, which looks like some rundown, second, almost third world airport. And the Bombay airport, which used to be a third world airport. You'd actually have to walk on dirt to get to the gate is now a spectacular polished floors beautiful airport. Now, I'm not really here to talk about airports. I'm raising a bigger question, which is America in terminal decline. Now, I remember that when Reagan gave speeches, he frequently would say, and it's typical optimistic fashion. Our best days are still ahead. Even when Reagan wrote his very touching letter about having Alzheimer's, it ends with I'm convinced that America's best days are ahead. But I think for Reagan, this was not a prediction so much as it was kind of a hope that America would hold on to the things that made America special and made America great. Civilizations don't last forever.

How Meta Is Still Deeply Involved in the Censorship Business
"Back to meta, the lawsuit that is being filed by a couple of Republican states against the social media platforms has been yielding some kind of fascinating information. We can't call them the Twitter files, I guess we could call them the Facebook files. And the Facebook files are not really a an inside look in the way that the Twitter files are. But what they are is Facebook is forced to reveal information. And some of this is now getting out. And what we see, for example, is that Facebook has been operating closely tied with the CDC. Now, what I'm about to tell you isn't really new, you suspected it. It's just that now you kind of know it. So here, for example, it turns out Facebook has been submitting to the CDC a wide range of claims that appear on Facebook and asking the CDC basically is this right. Is this right? Should we ban this or shouldn't we? So the CDC is exercising direct authority over Facebook because it makes us Facebook is treating the CDC as the singular authority on these subjects. And so you've got all kinds of statements, for example, COVID-19 has a 99.96 survival rate. And the CD gets CC gets CDC gets to say, yes or no. And so the CDC says no, Facebook starts basically restricting and banning people who say that. Or COVID-19 vaccines calls cause Alzheimer's. Or there are other side effects. It's not safe for women on their period to take the COVID-19 vaccine. I'm not really debating the accuracy of any particular assertion. I'm just saying that there is a long list of these claims and the CDC. So we're seeing direct government involvement and also final authority on what is what is happening in terms of censorship.

"And then we could talk about maybe what getting the diagnosis was like. Because I don't, I don't know what that was like for my mom because I don't know when I know when it happened, but it was after the fact. You want to ask me the question. Certainly. A little quickly. So you were diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at 64, but you started having trouble at 60. Is that correct? I don't know exactly when I started having trouble, you know? And I don't know if anybody can tell for sure their onset starts, you know, for me, you know, I could tell things were kind of out of shape and not particularly the way I would like them to be and. I just thought that at some point and I can't believe I got this just coming on, you know, but I think it is and I just got to go with the flow and do the best I can and just stay with it and that's what I've been doing. Now you're basically a retired attorney in my family by my mom tried to hide it and my dad I think tried to deny that anything was going on, which we all know is not helpful was that ever something you considered just not telling people what was happening or keeping it just in the family no, you know I never, you know, I was a lawyer and you want lawyer for a long time and that never entered into Alzheimer's never entered into my thoughts when I was a lawyer, you know?

I talked to people anybody who wants to know about Alzheimer's, who not an expert in our talk to you for till the cows come home if you want to. Well, I think that's important. And I think Travis probably agrees. What was the initial beginning of the, well, the diagnosis in the beginning of this journey like for you? Because that must be, I don't know how much harder it was. Well, my mom also had early onset Alzheimer's. I forget that because she had it for so long. What was that like for you, Travis? Yeah, yeah, very hard. You know, like I said, no one wants to hear that news. You have all submerged, your parent has Alzheimer's, your sibling has Alzheimer's. It's bad news. And I think, you know, for a lot of people, it probably doesn't come as a surprise necessarily because there have been some signs over time and for dad, one of the first challenges with some challenges with navigation and map reading, he had always been very good with navigating with the math encompass out in the Woods or navigating the streets around number, you know, his work commute and getting around the traffic and all that kind of stuff. And you know, at some point, that got a bit harder. In my advice, again, I'm not a doctor or anything either, but I do feel like one thing I've learned over the last few years is whereas in the past, you know, the story about Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment or other types of dementia was, you know, there's no treatment and no cure.

America Is Suffering From Alzheimer's Disease
"Are at a crisis right now in America where if we do not do something bold and dramatic, we're going to have an entire generation that suffers from historical Alzheimer's.

US approves Alzheimer's drug that modestly slows disease
"The Food and Drug Administration has approved a drug that modestly slows Alzheimer's disease. It's called la chembe, also known as lakena mab. It's designed specifically for those with mild or early stage Alzheimer's. Doctor Sam Gandhi at New York's Mount Sinai hospital says it focuses on amyloid material that builds up in the brain. There's a particular type of amyloid called the oligomer. That's especially toxic, especially poisonous. And looking at is targeted toward that particular most toxic species. The delay in cognitive decline brought about by the drug likely amounts to just several months. We don't know what rate they would have progressed. If they hadn't gotten them the medication. So it's in terms of whether the drug buys them 5 months or so. It's hard to know how people can relate to that. There can be side effects, like is a rare success in a field accustomed to failed experimental treatments for the incurable condition. Ed Donahue, Washington.

Probe: Alzheimer's drug approval 'rife with irregularities'
"A report from congressional investigators finds many problems with the FDA's approval of a controversial Alzheimer's drug. Two House committees were investigating the Food and Drug Administration's approval of aju helm, made by Biogen, and reported the process was rife with irregularities, including an atypical collaboration between the regulators and the manufacturer. The report details in unusually high volume of phone calls, meetings, and emails. It also flagged Biogen documents, which said the company intended to make history with the high price of $56,000 a year for the drug. When the FDA approved aju helm in 2021, it overruled its own independent scientific advisers, leading some to resign. The investigators recommend the FDA take steps to restore trust in the approval process. Especially with a new Alzheimer's drug being considered in January. Jackie Quinn, Washington

A Friendly Reminder: If You Feel Sick, Test for Covid
"Oh, hi, rudeness, hi. Good morning. I want to add something to your warning there. Which is that even if you're fully vaccinated, that if you are feeling sick, test yourself. Get tested because you want to catch it early. And that's what happened, you know, my stepdad's in the hospital and that was one of the things is he waited to test until it was advanced and you can't get on the pax lova and all of that. So that's why I didn't have symptoms, but I tested yesterday because I was like, yeah. Don't you think that's part of it, rude, and I know you're in Louisiana now and so we're sending our love and light because we've all been through it and it's just I know you've had it like Chris and I have had it. Wait, oh yes, you've had a two I forgot. You finally. I got it in August. Yeah. But yeah, it is terrifying. We have a mom that's almost a hundred with Alzheimer's. It's just the sense in society that we're supposed to take care of other people or at least not be a to other people, right? Just depress me in the airport and on the plane and even in the nursing home. Like, nobody's wearing a mask anymore. I've gone back, you know, on the flights I wore a mask, you know? Obviously in the hospital, I. Just, it doesn't make any sense at this point not to, especially, like you said, as we're going into winter. And you know what? I also don't want to get the RSV bug the time. Right there. Yeah. So yeah, Doctor Fauci was talking about that. RSV flew, here we go. Hang on. We have vaccinations for clearly COVID, particularly with the updated boosters that are now available. We have vaccinations for influenza. We're already starting to see an early surge of both flu and RSV. We don't have a vaccine for RSV. This particularly problematic for children 5 years of age and younger and for the elderly. But there are things you can do with RSV is avoid congregate settings in particularly if you have a cold or a sneezing and stay home, wear a mask, wash your hands. And as Ruth said, get tested if you're feeling anything, right? But anyway, have some tests on hand, you know? Yeah. And by the way, some places, some pharmacies and I hate to be like, you know, you know, mister information this morning instead of making sodomy jokes. Oh, we'll get to those. We're going to want in with those. I saw what you did there. That's a mouthful. Anyway, there's, but you know, you can also some pharmacies if your insurance will allow it. They'll give you the test for free. And they will take care of it. Like a prescription or something like that instead of going through the whole, you know. Thank you. Thank you, mister. They will.
The Secret History of the Future
"alzheimer" Discussed on The Secret History of the Future
"Test drive a phase three trial before really investing in it. Because of the immediacy of the disease and the promise of the drug, Biogen decided, let's just go straight to the hard part. But phase three did not turn out like Biogen or the Alzheimer's community had hoped. So cut to 2019, we learned from Biogen that they're actually discontinuing these two studies. They're independent data monitors, which are people who every clinical trial has this. There are people who get to look at the unblinded data, basically to make sure it's safe and to make sure that the drug is has a hope of working so that you don't throw good money after bad. Those people told Biogen actually it's the latter. You are throwing good money after bad. We've looked at the data and we conducted what they call a futility analysis and we've concluded based on lots of mathematics that futility is the most likely outcome. Stock price crashes, everyone, wow, we thought this was going to be the drug that works. Lots of sturm and drawing rendering of teeth gnashing of garments. Calls for resignation. I mean, this was like a huge deal in this world. It was crushing. But then, something even more unusual happened. Biogen took another look at one of its studies and decided that it did work. Patients on adja home outperformed the placebo by 20 odd percent on certain tests. The right people on the right dose at the right time was enough for the company to try to get approval from the FDA. Damian says the neuroscience community was skeptical. The real shocking part came last year when we learned that the FDA agreed with Biogen. And decided that this drug did merit approval, but what's curious is Biogen had filed for a full approval, which is basically they asked the FDA to weigh the evidence of whether taking ad you home is likely to delay the effects of Alzheimer's compared to placebo. The final data, the clinical data. But that is not what the FDA did. It granted add your helm accelerated approval. A

Caller: No Way Joe Biden Could Pass a Cognitive Test
"I'm just sitting here in the state of shock over the president and calling on a dead congresswoman. So I happen to lose my brother in 2018. Because the last couple of years of his life, my grandmother had Alzheimer's and dementia and we started seeing things in my father and then he had cancer and we saw it at worst, but I actually sat in on these cognitive tests that they give people who have Alzheimer's and dementia. Right. And I remember when Biden was elected within the first, I think month or two, it was big news that, oh yeah, no Biden had a cognitive test that he was fine. I've sat through those. I watched my father go through it. I can 100% say there's no way that he would have passed a normal cognitive test. I mean, how could this not be an issue of dementia? How in the world, if he's calling on a woman who was killed in a very high profile, terrible accident that everybody knew about and he's standing at the podium saying, hey Jackie, come on up. Come on up and speak. How's that not dementia? Or Alzheimer's or some cognitive crisis?

The Top 3 Things That American Christians Should Do Right Now
"Just real quick lightning round. You can just quit top three things, practical things we can do as Christians that are Americans right now. Boy, top three things. First thing is, I mean, take your faith very seriously. I encourage people to make that number one. So I tell people all the time, look, my life's work, what I do is focus on the second most important thing. So before I tell you what that is, let's make sure we all agree on what the most important thing is. The most important thing that we can do is to win souls for Jesus Christ. It's the most important thing that we can do. Now, so what's the second most important thing? To make sure you could do the first thing. Yeah, there you go. Come on. That's my day job. My job every day when I do three hours of radio two podcasts today, traveled 330 days last year, college campuses, churches, organizing people, 200 plus people on staff, is to make sure that number one can keep on happening. To make sure that the church will remain open, that they'll never lock us down again that they will never persecute our faith again. So I just want to make sure we all understand the priorities, right? Well, thank you. Which, and we should always be clear about that, right? That's number one. That's number one. That's number one. You can take off your coat right now. No, it's good. You can go right now. And number two, make sure you could do number one. So I just encourage all of you to read the word every single day. Get into a very serious prayer routine. And if you're struggling with your faith, ask for help. That is what the church is supposed to be. It's supposed to be the infrastructure for people that are struggling and struggling as normal because we are in a Supernatural and a spiritual struggle right now. And understand the equipment, the spiritual equipment that God gives us to be able to win the spiritual battle. I could go deeper into this. In fact, in the next service, we might want to do some of the spiritual warfare stuff, but if you are not experiencing spiritual warfare at all and it's kind of like a weird distant concept to you. I'm going to lovingly tell you, maybe you're not doing something important enough, so Satan doesn't take you seriously. There you go. Which is every person that I encounter that is fighting for the gospel in the kingdom is experiencing some form of spiritual warfare right now. And Satan Satan we know the character of Satan. He's a liar. He's a deceiver. First Peter, it says he prowls the world like a lion looking for those to devour. Okay, that's number one. We have to take our faith seriously. Number two, which is I want to challenge all of you to become really passionate learners and educators of this country. And so it's not just about doing, but it's also about pausing and learning. Learning is a substantial activity that improves your country. When you know more about your history, all of a sudden you will be convicted more to fight. When you are able to answer to a friend where they say, this country is so racist, be like, hey, let's talk about that. Where you shouldn't be caught be caught off guard about someone that says, you know, our country was founded on slavery. Like, really? 9 out of 13 of the colonies had already abolished slavery by the time of the constitution was ratified. The first antislavery convention was held in 1775 chaired by Benjamin Franklin. The first state ever to abolish slavery was Vermont in 1776, inspired by the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson wrote in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence and monitoring king George for bringing the Senate slavery to the United States. Thomas Jefferson abolished the slave trade as one of his first acts of president in 1807 that this country said time and time again in the private journals and musings of every founding father, including the three architects of the U.S. Constitution, Hamilton, Madison and Jay that is not a matter of when it's how we will abolish slavery. We should all know that stuff, yeah? And so good. And so the third thing is this, which is you take your faith seriously, you're praying, you're fasting. Jesus said the hard things come to those that pray and fast. I'm a big believer in fasting. And so if that's a distant concept to you, I challenge you to look into it and to pray about it. I know that Greg leads you guys really amazingly on that. But I'm a big, big believer in fasting, then of course learning. The third thing is yes, it's going to take action. It is. And that means I know a lot of people here in this audience right now are saying Charles, you got to give me stuff to do. I've done everything that's been asked to me. I watched Tucker Carlson every night. I bought the pillow. I did everything I was supposed to do. Thank you. That's good. Promo code Kirk, by the way, at my pillow dot com. And the Giza dream sheets are spectacular. But all kidding aside, Greg, it's gonna take faith prayer and fasting is number one bucket. The second bucket is learning. We have a partnership with hillsdale college. It's Charlie for hillsdale dot com. Take some of the online courses. No what you have been given. If we have a national Alzheimer's moment, we don't know who we are, where we've come from a memory crisis. Then what are we actually doing here? You have to know what we're anchored to and the third thing, of course, is action. Running for office and supported a good ones that do. Homeschooling kids, shepherding those parents that might be overwhelmed that are homeschooling. Action action action and pushing yourself forward. Those are the three things that I would challenge this church to continue to do.

"Certainly possible that we're gonna have this drug that overwhelms the us healthcare system because it costs so much and we're just gonna be giving the patients who receive it false hope because it doesn't even work. Yeah i mean how do we weigh the potential benefit of hope against the potential downside of false hope to millions and millions of people. Well i think it's telling that the alzheimer's community itself is divided on this question. I've talked to people who work with patients who work with caregivers and what they've heard from those focuses maybe half of them are really excited You know i was listening to an episode of Today explained recently where a patient was participating in the educa- map trial and seemed really exhilerated about it. I i am very sympathetic. The scientific method. I am trained to believe in the science. But i i guess i wish the scientists could understand that. This is the first ray of hope that those of us living with alzheimer's have had and you've got other people who are actually really mad. Who feel like biogen and the drug industry are taking advantage of them and and selling them false hope And one of the people that that i spoke with was randy. Epstein is a medical reporter but also somebody who has a very direct connection to alzheimer's disease and knows the toll that it takes on people My dad's name was robert. vp header. When she was young her dad was really really smart. He was a doctor. A brilliant pathologist a world renowned pathologist a quiet person with a dry sense of humor. He ended up later in life being diagnosed with alzheimer's disease and actually died a few years ago before this new drug was available to patients. Randy remembers her mom desperately searching for a cure or treatment anything that could potentially by the more time. I think it's really hard when you've been married to someone who's your equal or been with someone or partnered and and you see their decline. How can you not try something but she also you know. She's a reporter. She somebody who has a pretty astute sense of good practices in medicine and she. She doesn't by the idea that any kind of hope is worthwhile. Because to her there is something predatory about putting drug out on the market with limited evidence of its effectiveness and then expecting people who are desperate for hope to be able to make a rational decision about it. I am actually so glad. My father is not alive during this debate. I'm glad that my family does not have to debate whether he should.

I think in some ways in the past you know. We talked about people with senility. And you know we talked about people with dementia now. We talk more about people's alzheimer's because we're getting more and more diagnostic tools. But i think people might have been reluctant to talk about it because they considered sort of a a mental loss of mental capacity. And you know they associated with mental disease. Which has been a no no in our society for so many years and now all starting to talk about these things and we should because there's no shame at this.

"This preventive for alzheimer's disease ultimately. I'm always struck. At how like the same advice we can give for almost any disease state. Is you know. Take care of yourself earlier on and you know it's almost just lifestyle factors and how how important that is. It almost doesn't matter who the guest is our what disease we're talking about. It's just so good overall. Can't be stressed enough. I like to end on a positive notes. I would love to hear from each of you. Actually what are what. Are you most excited about looking forward. Where where do you think. Promise might be held in the diagnosis or treatment. Or prevention whatever aspect. You think you'd like to focus on what you know. What do you see. Come in that that you think people should know about. We'll start with liana. Thank so very excited about blood. Biomarkers no question about that. That is really going to open an avenue for us to correctly. Diagnose to screen for therapy. Like i mentioned for edgy. Helm we need to know their positive for alzheimer's to screen for clinical trials which can actually lead to the new drugs in the most powerful rexroth alzheimer's and then preventatively when we have therapy to offer. Then i'm very very excited about the fact that even though that we've had so many setbacks with amyloid therapies and probably because of that we've opened an avenue of other therapeutic approaches so ultimately alzheimer's disease might need a combination therapy. It's a very complicated disorder so dot is what excites me that we're looking into many other things besides amyloid who unquestionably. We should treat. So yeah these things a great jeff yeah. i think. I'm probably most excited about on the breakthroughs In specifically that that there is something approved. I know it's controversial but sometimes having something approved can open the door for the next generation and there's new data out there that's that showing the next generation of clinical studies and things are coming along and i'm excited about the future. I'm excited that we that. We have a chance in the next ten years to to make alzheimer's disease preventable in. I'm really proud of the work that we did in blood biomarkers. I think it's gonna make for more efficient clinical trials and more rapid progress in the field. Tatiana savage. Aleve me the last one when they give such great answers. It's really not very nice of you. I guess the thing i would say. Is you know how you look at decades and you sort of say. What kind of progress is going on. If you were to look at the past decade of research and i would just say if you were to look like a trajectory progress that we've made it's just been exponential over the past ten years so i think everyone sort of touches the same thing we have got all these pieces that are now just moving so rapidly and are poised. If you'd said ten years ago do you think you're really going to get more effective treatments. We all would say it. But i think we'd have sort of a concern in our heart. I just think there's so many pieces that are now aligned that we really do have reason to be optimistic. positive and. I do think people understanding that alzheimer's disease and related dementias and understanding that there's not just one disease and understanding that there's really this whole spectrum of disorders. It's incredibly important as well his. We're going to need that when we do treatment those are all great answers from the maybe a little bit better about all of this really appreciate all of it. But that doesn't mean. The people i imagined should ignore symptoms. And so if if they think that they might have you know memory loss or anything else what. What do people need to juliana.

"Drug for alzheimer's. The fda has approved a new alzheimer's drug for the first time in almost twenty years. It's to treat the more than six million americans with alzheimer's disease but the effectiveness of the drug as you. Can you mab or as you. Helm is up for question. Bob harmon covers healthcare. Business for axios. Hey bob so. I think we have to start with just to be clear. The fda has approved this for alzheimer's but it's not clear how effective it is at treating alzheimer's that's right so the company that makes the drug by gen ran clinical trials. One of the clinical trials failed and the other maybe kinda sorta showed some clinical benefits so the fda issued an accelerated approval which basically said. We're going to approve this bites by have to conduct another study to make sure it actually works. What do we know about what the drug actually does. In the trials. The drug failed but budget went back and looked at the data and said okay. We think it actually made some of these brain plaques a decline which they think might help the the progress of alzheimer's they're running with this theory that if you lessen these brain plaques it'll help people recover from alzheimer's again. That's still not really proven. That's why bygones to run another confirmatory trial to see. If it's actually the case bob. How expensive is this. The drug has a list price of fifty six thousand dollars a year and that price is the uninsured price. But since so many alzheimer patients are on medicare medicare likely if it decides to do so. We'll pay a probably a large portion of that. There's so many families who are living with alzheimer's. Why has it been so hard to find treatments. Alzheimer's researchers has been going on for decades. And there's been this slowly building scientific consensus that says maybe this hypothesis about these brain. Plaques is not really something that we should be focusing so much on this drug approval kind of bring some life beck into the argument but again we don't actually know if this drug works. And what does this mean for the fda approval process going forward. This is under a very complex. Fda approval process called accelerated approval If the confirmatory trial doesn't proved works the fda can pull it off the market but that could take a very long time by concil. Make billions of dollars in the meantime. So this just might reignite controversy over whether the accelerated approval pathway is a legitimate pathway. Sea mentioned a few times at its controversial. Besides the drug company are their advocates. Who were pushing for this drug to be approved. Yes many patient advocacy groups involved with alzheimer's. Were really hoping that this will get approved. And and it did. But it's worth noting. A lot of those groups are affiliated with by gen and a toes the line of desperately wanting a treatment for debilitating disease. Something that's just terrible to watch but also balancing that with the science science from what everyone in the community has been saying. It's just not clear that this drug is proven.
