If I were a nude mouse, living with the symptoms of dementia

Posted by RichardTaylor at 28th September, 2009

If I were a nude mouse, living with the symptoms of dementia, probably of the Alzheimer’s type, I wouldn’t sign up right away for the Dimbeon lunch special
Because no one know what causes dementia, because no two people respond to the symptoms in the same way, because no two people have exactly the same symptoms, because no two people are overwhelmed by their symptoms on the same time-line - we can only say, but clearly not necessarily know with certainty the impact a new drug has on the progress of the disease. When one of the side effects of the drug is to increase the amount of a substance in our brain which some researchers have labeled as one of the causes of dementia, isn’t it time to say “Stop!” We gotta first figure this out before we encourage people to run a short race while knowing they are losing strength for the long race. 

So this pill slows down the progression of the disease while at the same time increases the substance that perhaps/probably is close to or may be the first cause of the disease? Hello? 

And by the way, is the same drug company now testing this new drug and at the same time buying the company that claims their vaccine will remove the substance the new drug produces as one of its side effects? So I take one drug to slow the effects of the disease, and I take another drug made by the same company to reverse the side effects of the new drug.

And by the way some of the researchers running the trials are stock holders of the new drug. And by the way the drug company testing the drug has already touted it as a “breakthrough” before the results are in from the stage 3 test.

 
Why don’t I just stick to coated fish oil tabs and a million or so units of every B vitamin I can find?*
