And his tallows are high.

you know probably had alzheimer's at some point in time so i'd love to know where i stand on that spectrum i agree i give a lecture i give a teacher course at johns hopkins called advances in neuroplasticity and its applications in neurology where i give you 26 hours of lectures about all the things and of course i have plenty of time to explain everything to my students

I'm usually not in favor of doing a test.

So having taught them all stuff throughout the course, toward the end, I asked them, okay, class, how many of you would like to know your plaques and tangos levels, thinking that hardly anybody would raise their hand?

Guess what?

80% of the class raised their hands.

Yes, I think it's a personal matter.

I personally, I am a type that I worry about it.

And I have seen people who are perfectly healthy, and they're doing everything, and they still have high tau level.

The high tau level is a bad thing.

because remember I told you, you have the bag of things for plaques and tangles and the basket of things for these other things.

And these other things can actually be more important than plaques and tangles.

So you can have high tau levels and if your brain is perfectly healthy, you'll be fine.

The high tau level, even if it stays high, it's not gonna kill you, it's not gonna cause problems.

Let me give you a study.

There was a study called the NUNS study by David Snow.

NUNS?

Yes, the NUNS study, yes.

The NUNS study showed that if you look at elderly women in their 80s who pass away, and then look at the levels of plaques and tangles in the brain, many of these ladies who had very high, stage six, like Alzheimer's from one to six, they have stage six plaques and tangles in the brain.

It gets as bad as it gets.
