It merely slows progress of Alzheimer i.e. stops progress of brain inflammation.
Strange that they call it a vaccine.
Nomenclature aside, it's even better to not develop the inflammation in the first place.
And it can be done with a simple (but difficult) change: stop eating insane amounts of sugar and carbs that most people eat in standard American / western diet.
This prevents diabetes (because diabetes is "too much glucose in your blood" disease and not eating sugar (glucose) and carbs (are converted to glucose by our body).
Elevated levels of glucose trigger elevated levels of insulin. If it persists for long periods of time, it causes inflammation in our body, including brain.
This inflammation caused by diabetes is believed to be main cause of Alzheimer. Some scientists even call Alzheimer a Type 3 diabetes.
As to "insane amounts of sugar": you probably consume insane amount of sugar without knowing your doing it.
The optimal amount of glucose in our blood in 3 grams, which is 6 grams of sugar.
A daily recommended dose of sugar is 25 grams for women and 36 for men.
A single can of coca-cola is 33 grams of sugar. That's more than a daily sugar budget for a woman and almost daily budget for a man.
An average consumption by an American is 76.7 grams i.e. 2x daily recommended dose.

- saltymug76 3y agoI'm glad that in the face of decades of research, you boiled avoiding Alzheimer's down to just a few paragraphs. Well done!
- bitwize 3y agoMedical science is just catching up to the fact that diet is the major cause of major non-pathogenic disease behind alcohol and tobacco consumption. It's taken so long because the medical and pharmaceutical industries prefer to treat disease rather than prevent or cure it with proper nutrition, and the food industry wants to keep you addicted.
- lumb63 3y agoDo you have any sources documenting the link between diabetes and Alzheimer’s? This is the first I’ve heard of that.

- armadsen 3y agoeFAD (early-onset Alzheimer’s disease) runs in my wife’s family. It’s a simple Mendelian dominant genetic trait. If you get the mutated gene from your parent, you get Alzheimer’s. Not “well, you might get it”. You get it. Usually in your early to mid 50s. Her dad is in his early 60s and is in the late stages of the disease. It’s far, far more complex a disease than just “don’t eat sugar”.
- bitwize 3y agoeFAD is quite a distinct disease from late-onset Alzheimer's. Just like type 1 diabetes is distinct from type 2 diabetes, the latter of which is as simple as "don't eat sugar". Both types of diabetes are linked to LOAD.
