have plaques and tangles and a whole lot of other things.

As we talked about earlier, their brain may have a lot of inflammation.

The blood vessels are mostly clogged and they're stiff.

The rinsing mechanism has not worked.

Inside the brain is kind of dirty actually.

I just don't want to have that brain.

I've seen pictures of, I've actually cut human brains after they pass away and I can look at it.

It even looks bad.

And looking at it, it's gray, dry, shriveled, whereas a healthy 80 year old brain looks fresh, looks vibrant.

The plaques and tangles accumulate in the brain and these things happen too.

We don't have biomarkers for inflammation, blood flow and lymphatic system, the rinsing in the brain, but we have biomarkers for those things.

So should you get testing for amyloid and tau?

My short answer is no.

Why?

Because

Your lifestyle changes are going to help reduce these anyway.

And if you have amyloid and tau on yourself, by yourself, if you obtain it on internet, on these companies that provide it in home testing, you're getting a test that tells you you're high risk for Alzheimer's disease and you have no one to talk to.

And that is a horrible thing.

I mean, I'm an expert and I know that there are things I can do about these things and I'll probably be more proactive, but I'm going to do these things anyway.

I don't need to have the extra source of stress.
