  • I discuss the safety and efficacy of the newest Alzheimer's drug treatments, aducanumab (Aduhelm) and lecanemab (Leqembi).
    This is one of the more egregious examples of Big Pharma manipulation. It reminds me of flibanserin (Addyi), the drug marketed for “hypoactive sexual desire disorder” in women. See Are Apples the Best Food for a Better Sex Life in Women? (nutritionfacts....

      The amyloid plaque seems to just be a waste product of the disease. It's like targeting smoke to kill a fire. These drugs are treating a clinical finding to treat the disease which is why it doesn't work. Dr Neal Barnard has a great talk about alzheimers.

    If you could cover the change in FDA's standards and practices since the User Fee legislation was first enacted in 1992, you would be doing a tremendous public service. What User Fees basically did was put a price tag on Agency approval. There should be no price tag. Federal regulatory agencies should be adequately funded, by Federal appropriations, to attract and keep highly competent, qualified professionals in all relevant disciplines for each affected Agency. The regulated should not "own" the regulators.
    And if you look at how the European regulatory body manages its User Fees [they charge for meetings, which FDA does not, among other things] - AND at the fact that most other countries do not merely regulate drug study and approval, but also regulate drug PRICES, while the FDA does not? Much may become clear that was previously obscure.

      Any drug ending in ‘mab’ is a monoclonal antibody. Like natural antibodies they target specific biochemicals for the immune system to remove. But triggering the immune system this way can lead to dangerous side effects, such as the brain inflammation with this drug.

      You’re mixing statistics with different basis. *The US average age of death for a 65 man is 83, for a woman 86.* That’s post-Covid, which is still reducing life US expectancy. Highest fatalities right now for Covid is in the over 65 age group.
      The total average age statistic includes infant mortality (shockingly high in the US compared to other industrialized nations). Averaging in a lot of zeros brings down the total. The total average also includes suicides and accidental deaths.
