aside from it being its own benefit, aside from it being something we might all want to do just for the sake of, again, having our best lives, it can also be a way of forestalling or lessening the effects of Alzheimer's disease late in life should we be one of the unlucky ones to get that disease as an older person. So I'm just encouraging people to think positively and

And what we need is creative thinking that supplements some of the more conventional studies to keep people moving in being broad minded about it. Now, you know, I just want to make it clear that while I'm not an expert in. Things like supplements and brain training and things like that. I'm not aware of anything like that that is either a preventive or a cure for the disease.

Beyond what I've already said, that I think generally taking care of risk factors is good for all of us. for whatever ails you, not just Alzheimer's disease. But I want to say that I appreciate what you're saying because I think creative thinking, innovative thinking is part of what's going to solve this problem ultimately.

And therefore, some of the things you're saying, like neuroinflammation, there are many scientists in the field who believe that that may be one of the linchpins of both comprehending the origins of the disease and doing something useful for people that have it. So the short answer is yes, people should be looking at these things.

Oh, you're so kind to say that, Dylan. And I just want to say that I agree with you very much. We have to remember that we are the center of our own lives. And we're the protagonists in our own stories. And it's up to us to think creatively and be thoughtful and to take care of ourselves. And I appreciate what you're doing towards that as well.
