I'll echo another commenter's "trash" qualifier for the article.
Dr. Bredesen published a study in 2014 that found his protocol effective in people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Some (all?) of his protocol is listed here: https://www.apoe4.info/wiki/Bredesen_Protocol https://www.apoe4.info/wiki/Bredesen_Protocol
It includes interventions ranging from dietary (daily fasting, autophagy promotion, minimise inflammation & insulin resistance, prebiotics and probiotics), lifestyle (stress, sleep, exercise, sleep apnea, mitochondrial function), vitamins & minerals, hormonal balance, and more.
The recent articles linking Alzheimer's with insulin resistance, gum disease, HIV/herpes, and more are just bite-size recycling of what Bredesen talked about back then, but strangely without mentioning the whole protocol.
The article is trash not because vitamins aren't helpful (they are, but not on their own without the rest of the protocol), but because the Bredesen study has become quite well-known, and not mentioning it seems akin to malpractice. They might want to present the Bredesen study skeptically or critically, but pretending it doesn't exist, when it's shown success, is eerie. It's like writing an article about sugar in 2019 without mentioning its toxic effect on the body.
