- Alzheimer’s cases are growing at an alarming rate as our lifespan rapidly outpaces our “brainspan”. There are 5.4 million patients in the USA and as 71 million baby boomers head toward high risk age, Alzheimer’s could singlehandedly crush our healthcare system. The good news is that dozens of Alzheimer’s genes have been identified, and the opportunity for stopping this disease has never been greater. Rudy Tanzi discusses how he and others are doing just that. He is joined by chart-topping recording artist and actor Chris Mann for a performance of their anthem of hope, “Remember Me," that blazed the Internet in pursuit of a cure.
Dr. Rudy Tanzi, a Professor of Neurology at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital and was named one of the TIME100 Most Influential People in the World in 2015 for his groundbreaking research on Alzheimer’s disease.
Chris Mann is a critically acclaimed recording artist and actor who has performed over 700 times as The Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera" (Nat'l Tour) and on NBC's "The Voice".
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
The song is beautiful 😭 my grandma has Alzheimer’s and she raised me the first time she looked me straight in the eyes and couldn’t remember was the saddest thing I’ve felt, thank you for this 🙏
16:45 SLEDs ... Sleep Plenty (8 hours), LEARN actively (Watch TED, Read books),
Exercise 8000 Steps, Diet - Mediterranean/Vegan
stress reduction => elimination.
Stay clear of "vaccines,' use hyperbaric 02 chamber therapy, keep insulin down as well
What an amazing educational video
The song brought tears to my eyes
Thinking of my mother who lived with
Alzheimer for 13 years
At home with me
And I took care of her.
Thank you
Listening to this song really brings me to tears seeing my own sister who is suffering from this dreadful disease, hoping and praying for a miracle, i will always remember this song thank you so much for bringing some hope💕🙏
This disease is worse than cancer. My beautiful mom had Alzheimer's and it was devastating for me when she looked at me and told me that I was not her daughter. I cried and still cry today, many years later. I hurt so much. Please please continue helping those who have this disease and those who suffer the effects from a close family member or friend who has it. It hurts so many families with the horrible effects. Remember Me is a song that can help us to remember our moms, dads, grandmoms, granddads and others who have and who have seen the effects of this disease on our families. Thank you for all that you do.
My mother has dementia and it is progressing quickly, very devastating to watch. Thank you for sharing scientific knowledge and some hope for the future. The song is very beautiful, very emotional. God bless.
This may be one of the most powerful TED talks I've ever watched. As a nurse who works with dementia patients, I find this especially interesting. Thank you
Barbara Davison do you know if this applies to other forms of dementia other than Alzheimer’s?
They have been curing alzheimer's disease at the sunnybrook hospital in Canada with focused ultrasound check it out on CZcams good luck
@@alexmilligan6140 is there proof of cure? I thought it is just a study underway?
Yes
Gnsbsbs
Everone in the Alzheimer's community should watch this video. It is well worth sharing.
Alzheimer's Reading Room Took me over 30 years so I am an expert on this. Forget everything else you have learned, what works is bamboo resin (detox the heavy metals with bioavailable silica) and spooky2 (deplaques the grey matter etc rife device produces frequencies so you may as well call it sound therapy).
As a music therapist myself, I have found that music has provided some powerful experiences for my father who has dementia / Alzheimer's at age 96.
I have used song books, including the old reader's digest series, and the internet. He sings songs from the 1940s and 50s along with me, remembering many of the words.
My mom is 98 and was diagnosed with dementia at 85. I play music from her youth such as Glen Miller's "In the mood," and "Moonlight Serenade," as well as other songs. Some songs she sings the lyrics, and other songs, she just listens to them. It is incredible the power music has to "awaken" so to speak the brain! I pray for a cure soon!
It changes neurochemistry
Yes, my mom is 83, diagnosed with dementia at age of 72. She loves the songs from her Youth, I'm surprised how excellent she remembers the lyrics. And we're dancing to Elvis-Songs, because her feet can move, and she loves it. I only have to show her - so she can dance some easy steps with me. She's SO happy then - and it's wonderful for me.
I love Dr Tanzi’s analogies! He makes understanding scientific information that is difficult, simple and memorable! Thank you, Dr Tanzi for all your hard, tireless work. Blessings 🙏❤️
Thank you Dr. Tanzi for your very important research!
You mention costs of the illness to Medicare/ Medicaid, but plenty of families are paying out of pocket because the long term care is not covered So the cost is even greater than what you describe. Not to mention the lost work of family members trying to keep sufferers at home.
Rudy you are a hero for all the work and research you have done on our behalf for this horrible disease. For many of my family members, 2025 is too late. For some of us, there is hope and encouragement. May you have all the support you need to complete your work and shift the paradigm of this disease forever. xoxo
thank you so much for such wonderful, miracle and life saving lecture
Thank you, TED, Dr. Rudy Tanzi , Chris Mann and your colleagues for giving us hope and enlightenment on this disease.
searching this information for last22 yrs since my father was diagnosed having dementia. thanks to both of you for this wonderful information and emotional support to dementia patients and caregivers of them through music therapy as well as awareness.
Thank you. Very enlightening and powerful!
My father passed away 2015 from dementia in the end he called me Jack his brother whom I resemble and my sister mom , I'm now 63 and have mild memory lapses.
Thank you for sharing in this excellent TED talk, Rudy!
Thanking you for revelations .
My mother has full blown AD at 60. She was diagnosed in her 50's. She started seeing a neurologist in her 40's. They have not been able to do anything for her other than some obligatory scans and occasional visits and eventually a drug trial that failed. The truth is you have to go to the right doctor. I think calling for people to see doctors early only works if the health care provider, the neurologist, to be more precise, is up to date with literature and cares to prevent/delay the inevitable and takes it up as a challenge rather than to watch and let it happen.
Dr Kenneth Moore in his earlier comment, Cure Altzheimer's, really ? is clearly one of these.
Dr Tanzie's suggestions are similar to those of Dr Dale Bredesen from the Buck Institute in LA.
This disease is not funny Dr Moore.
What do you think that you can do to elucidate this condition in order to ameliorate it impact on World Health ?
Should Everyone diagnosed be enrolled in a Trial of some sort ?
I agree with Dr Tanzie that we should all be working together..... instead of doing nothing until the Cure comes along.... Leave it to someone else... Anything for a quiet life and the Status Quo. (And all of the funding from Big Pharma for Research !)
Thank you so much for an enlightening talk and beautiful song.... my mother is suffering from dementia and the once very vibrant and intelligent woman has become a mere shadow of herself... now 88 years old.
The song at the end…💗💐
REMEMBER ME; teared me up. Lost my dad to this dreadful disease. Mom has dementia. Eldest brother diagnosed borderline dementia, starting his journey.
Another TED talk from 8 years ago is still available on You Tube endorses coconut oil due to the research and the speaker s own incredible success with it. 7 teaspoons a day.
You have to see if it's a spiritual matter like generation curses you never know
Wonderful, excellent TED talk!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!
Thank you!!
So informative and makes sense, my mum had alziemers ... now things make sense
Thank you.
Very inspiring talk.

Why cant you be as you were before?
open, sharing and understanding,
understanding my sorrows as well as your own,
creating bonds between ud forever.
I remember you throughout my childhood.
constantly loving, supporting and listening.
You were a secure harbour
to which i could always return
and be myself.
Today you are not here anymore.
your soul has gone somewhere else.
You are sitting there with your
eternal smile,
and your green vacant eyes.
Your are busy twisting paper
with your hands
saying yes and no with an empty face,
only god knows what your are thinking.
Maybe we should have let you go
when you wanted to-
instead of leaving you sitting here
with your constantly smiling face.

I learned much, thank you, very special, BRAVO👏👏♥️
A fantastic Ted Talk. I read the Alzheimer's Antedote by Amy Berger and I believe that she is really onto something. I highly recommend the book!
It's unfortunate that there is so much FEAR around Alzheimer's, because that fear-based approach makes it harder to deal with, by caregivers and family members. Both my parents are afflicted; we choose to stay positive and keep laughter in our lives. Music therapy has done wonders, but calling this condition "horrifying, terrifying, alarming", etc., is more harmful than helpful. Cancer is cancer, AIDS is AIDS and Alzheimer's is Alzheimer's. It is what it is, neither good nor bad.
lorrie beauchamp Took me over 30 years so I am an expert on this. Forget everything else you have learned, what works is bamboo resin (bioavailable silica) and spooky2 (rife device).
Its been two months since you posted your question...he probably forgot to reply! LOL @Oiling Hippy Busia
The crummy notifications popup doesn't help. Many people don't know that the permanent link to any youtube comment hides behind the timecode.
Meanwhile many don't wish to acknowledge that Alzheimer's, and every degenerative disease, is caused by refined sugars and refined carbs and the absence of raw / lightly steamed vegetables
@@andrewrus2407 can you give more info?
Diet and exercise reverses and prevents so many diseases. The sedentary lifestyle of people hooked on their cell phones and tablets, while consuming the SAD diet.
We need preventive studies. Lots of them!
Superb 👍
Wow what a song sung superbly.
Wonderful talk & beautiful song!!
Very Insightful!
Thanks
Beautiful voice and song!
All hope is lost for me. I am doomed unless I take action against this disease. Strong family history.
Biology is not destiny. Eat right, excercise and read books, Ur risk will go down many fold.
Keep it up!!
Using the SLED system to avoid going downhill.
I’m with Dr. Bredesen- he’s not anti drugs per se but he is definitely all about lifestyle and a highly comprehensive approach to this disease.
I just don’t understand why the medical establishment finds drugs to be their go to solution. Why not try to understand WHY the plaques are forming in the first place? Why would one decrease their genetic susceptibility to Alzheimer’s by moving to Nigeria for instance?
Because Nigerians are getting older
Are you that naive? Pharma is about profit. Go find the Flexner Report and learn how medicine was hijacked by the Rockefeller empire in the early 20th century.
The microorganisms like virus(Herpes, for example) and other small bacteria cause the production of Amyloid, a substance that intent protect the neurons from those pathogens
Because they want people to be sick, dumbed down and numbed up!
wow that is great job well done
He is great
No offense intended to Dr. Tanzi or Chris Mann. Keep up the great work gentlemen!
Question for Mr. Chris Mann: Did you paternal grandmother have the APOE4 gene or were any other mutations found through a genetic test?
It's really interesting !
thanks a lot
I had to skip the song or I would be crying all day.
Don't we need to know what it is about a mouse's brain that keeps it tangle-free, even with plaques, and what's going on in a human brain that results in tangles emerging in the presence of plaques?
I cannot find the app on Applestore. Is there a link to the application by any chance? Thank you in advance.
Disappointing that Rudy doesn't make a distinction between plaque versus oligomers and also how it is oligomeric forms of amyloid impact the signaling processes leading to phosphorylation, and tangling. Also does not adequately describe the role of inflammation which actually spreads the tauopathy
How does cholesterol impact the formation of plaques, tangles and tau? APOE4 is also implicated in coronary artery disease. You haven't explained the connection. If inflammation is key to the formation of tangles and tau which chokes off the neurons, then wouldn't high dose cortisone work in stopping the inflammation and thereby preventing Alzheimer's from ever developing.
Cholesterol is needed for the formation of the minuscule cell membranes of nerves and glia cells.
Inflammation is an important part of the brains immune system. Choking off inflammation may slow tau pathology but would also make the brain vulnerable to infections.
I didn't know Apoe4 is associated to cad. Could you elaborate a bit?
Does this also help cure vascular dementia?
Sugar and carbohydrates are one the main reasons… the SAD diet! It’s truly sad!
This seems to be our true pandemic❣️😥
plandemic.
Yep , so tru , and toxoplasmosis: eye floaters , detached retina, low vision , nerve twitches, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s, dormant cysts, mild to severe depression, miscarriage, flu like symptoms , headaches, behavior changes, …. No cats & dont eat undercooked meat & fish . micro-eggs live 2yrs in bleach water and still hatch. Cats constantly re-infect themselves, and it’s congenital in cats and humans. Negative tests are inconclusive due to a long dormancy potential, the dormant cyst can outlive the antibodies being tested for.

Interesting
How about trying to cure alzheimers with a calculated song/music that kind of triggers snyapses? And the music is like built in a way where its like the reverse of those dementia songs that are 6 hours long on youtube where it gives this simulated feeling of progressing dementia. So like a reverse of that. starting with a chaotic but calculated audio, but how about adding like the phonetic sounds of the language of the patient? To trigger the language and speech processing part of the brain and trying to form and activate the synapses that got broke or dyfunct due to dementa. Then as it progresses to the next stage The words will come in. It will be of course sung, but the lyrics are more like random like: "apple~ pie~ trees~" etc. while background noises associated with the words are accompanied, you get the idea. and as it goes on to the next stage, sentences will be heard and the singing will be more gramatically correct and meaningful, and the first thing they must hear is "Who Are You~?♪♪, Do you remember~?♪" or something like that, questions or sentences that can evoke identity or thoughts. And as the song progresses, it becomes more of a conversational music kinda as it goes to the next stage, which is more of a custom thing since in that stage, the song will like relive the memories and the pasts of the patient, the voices of the patient's family and friends and people that the patient had once met. Though this is just an idea from a childish dreamy kid like me but hey, i hope this kind of idea helps.
i know that dementia is not only all about memories and stuff and ut requires like physical medication to be applied to fix the brain's deteriorating state. but i think of the idea as more of a therapy treatment to alleviate or like temporarily wake up the consciousness or mind of the patient? or to slow dementia down or something?
If you grow a human brain in a dish, what is it thinking?
SLEDS… 👍🏻 got it!
Keep the memory that s what that song should have been titled
I wonder if hair tangles is a bio marker for what tangles can be next for inside the brain.???? Can there be any connection and if so, can it be a lack of oils, too much dryness??? Need for fatty acids perhaps. Everyone blames sugar, I do not!
Just add 2 teaspoon of organic coconut oil on their diet every day!
2 tablespoons
What if they’ve stopped eating and swallowing!!
@@sugaraye7839: in that case, you can massage it on the skin like lotion. Interior of wrists etc.
There is an excellent Alsheimer remission /recovery recovery. : 7-20 - 30
days fasting - better under professionals supervision ( with liver soft tubages cleansing and enemas / similar detox )
Can amyloid be detected by a blood test
I think I had alzheimers but I forget.

Hello Andrew, thanks for sharing. I need more information. Do you have a blog or website?
sunset1204 no vlog or website as I stopped social marketing years ago. What I suggest from my own experience is not common knowledge, however like substance that match the required nutrients needed by the body because they are deficient can be toxic; so if you provide the correct ones it will kick out the toxic ones as the system becomes saturated with the correct one and not the mismatching one.
First telltale sign that you are clearly not an expert?
Experts do not self-proclaim.
And if your snake-oil treatment was legitimate, you would be a trillionaire by now. So clearly, it doesn't work.
Did you try coconut oil?
Thank you for your devotion to finding the cause and the cure to this terrible affliction.
Can the amyloid in a live brain be measured? How?

Why do so many have Alzheimer’s today? What is causing us to get it?
lack of love and such in heart. Cure is easy.
Age. Simple as that. When we died with 40, AD was not a thing. Now that we live to see 80 yo, we live long enough to get AD.
We are living too long.
We have (almost) eradicated all the things that once would have killed us when we were much younger... narrowing it down to AD, Heart Disease, Stroke.
@@donttalkcrap
There is a common denominator for all of these conditions and its called hyperinsulinaemia. It's caused by frequent eating, and eating carbohydrates especially which are converted into glucose in the body. This stimulates the pancreas to produce more and more insulin. It can eventually lead to Type 2 Diabetes, and the whole process can take fifteen years. This fits the pattern of the diseases.
New drug out in 2021 however b4 anyone starts it do your research side effects worse than disease.
😭😭😢😭😭🥺
No categorit
Almost forgot to watch this.
Gerald's Videos I couldn’t remember if I’d seen this before.
Btw: people who talk about Herpes here should distinguish between Herpes simplex and Herpes zoster :-)
Everybody is desperate to escape Alzheimer's/Dementia (individuals as well as societies/economies), and optimism is fine. But down to the hard facts: if prevention is the way to go, tell me, how the USA health care system will enable the average citizen to afford that. Even here in Germany with our healthcare for all and big stress on prevention, you would have to invent some weird symptoms to get a brain scan (that is doable, and then you will get it for free :-)
dani hesslinger. It always sounds to good to be true. I watched a Ted Talk two days ago about the supposed benefits of coconut oil. The speaker was talking about individuals who had Alzheimers, improving dramatically day by day. ie. Vastly improved speech, memory, brain clarity and other amazing improvements! Just consume 6 spoonfuls of the oil 3x a day. The speaker was a neo natal doctor or researcher or something. She spoke intelligently and convincingly! Well ya know… it’s exasperating. I could have called my sister who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and said guess what, Char… try this. She knew something was up with her memory. We said it’s probably stress. Well, the thing is, she knew. They did brain scans and part of her brain is in fact damaged! According to this medical professional, socking back the coconut oil will help. How is it going to undue brain damage? My sister is 68. She’s very depressed , has no appetite and has trouble sleeping. She’s skin and bone. She has an excellent doctor. She has reactions to the anti depressants. My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and Lewybody dementia in her late 80’s. She died. I am a personal support worker and for 20 or more years l provided respite care for people who’s loved ones had dementia/Alzheimers. I was witness to the decline these people suffered. I don’t even know if Lewybody is familial. I just feel that l don’t want to know. I learned in lectures that if you have a parent or sibling with dementia, your chances of getting it increase. I’m not sure to which degree. The doctor today said that you need to be studied early, before symptoms start! Who’s going to do that and you were right… who’s going to pay for all these brain scans… I live in Canada. Our health care system is rife with problems, however, every Canadian receives free health care. You can be poor as dirt and unemployed. It has no bearing. Everybody gets it. You don’t pay a cent! I could go to my family doctor, tell him about the talk, my mother, my sister and express concern that l too could end up with this disease. I don’t know how he would respond….. He may ask me if I’m experiencing memory loss. I kind of feel that he would tell me that there’s no point in getting a brain scan if I’m not experiencing any symptoms. The Ted talk man said that you need to be tested well ahead of any symptoms . I apologize. Here l am rambling on. I get to go about my life and in the meantime my sister is very depressed and scared. She was a nurse. She knows what’s in store and my siblings and l are in Ontario and my sister lives in BC, so there’s that. We all plan to see her but we can’t all go at once and now we have Covid lockdowns. My sister sure doesn’t deserve this-no one does, but she’s stuck with it. My father used to say if you’ve got your health, you’ve got the world. Cheers!

He had no idea what he was talking about it 🤣

Ketosis for Alzheimer's - don't do vegan.
What an cringingly American ending 😣
Giving people false hope using the cure word is despicable. Many, many years away.
Too complicated. I think it can be presented in a much easier to understand way. The average person won't get anything out of this.
"Curing Alzheimer's" - really?
yes the cure is mct oil...coconut oil.

Its only for Americans!!!
If you want to relieve the symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia disease take an eyebrow tweezers and remove the hair follicles from the patients hands, feet, and wrists. This should have an immediate effect on their well being.
