Alzheimer's_ A Transmissible Nightmare

This video investigates the shocking possibility that Alzheimer's disease may be transmissible or contagious like a prion disease. It explores recent controversial medical research indicating Alzheimer's could be spread through medical procedures involving contaminated tissue, blood transfusions, or surgical instruments.

The video highlights the autopsy studies on the brains of Alzheimer's patients that revealed seeding and spread of toxic amyloid beta and tau proteins, similar to what's seen in mad cow disease. It discusses experiments showing transmission of Alzheimer's pathology to animals through extracts of human brain tissue.

It also covers the debate around these studies and pushback from experts who argue there is still no definitive evidence Alzheimer's is infectious or can be spread between humans under normal conditions. Critics say more research is needed.

Ultimately, the video analyzes the potentially terrifying prospect that Alzheimer's could join the ranks of transmissible neurological diseases like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. It underscores the need for precautions around contaminated medical equipment as well as more research on the mechanisms of Alzheimer's progression.

The video aims to inform and spur discussion around this controversial theory - can Alzheimer's spread like an infection and how close are we to confirming this unsettling possibility? What would this mean for prevention and handling of a disease impacting millions worldwide?
