Very sad as he was right on target. Around the time he made this video a huge breakthrough in the understanding of cancer was made by Aykut et al whereby studying pancreatic cancer in mice it was found that a yeast/fungi malassezia was found in large numbers inside the tumors and the outside. They then found the same in humans. Prior to this study malassezia was not thought to inhabit the insides of our bodies although known as a commensal of the skin since the mid 1800s. Since Aykuts groundbreaking work further work was undertaken by an Israeli team that studied 17400 tumors of 35 different types of cancer and found malassezia in all types. Over the last few years great interest in malassezia as the possible cause of many other terrible diseases including, alzheimers, multiple sclerosis, als, parkinsons, crohns, rheumatoid arthritis, and others. Forty years or so ago I read in a book on cancer where the author suggested that cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases with the cause unknown at present will be found to have a common cause. That was so out of left field at the time and so profound it never left my mind all these years. I should mention that malassezia is the only yeast known to feed on lipids. Many years ago Italian oncologist tullio simoncini told the world that cancer is a fungus. In an interview when asked did sugar cause or promote cancer he said no, and then went on to say that when having coffee I use 10 sachets of sugar. Malassezia being lipid dependent would seem to prove simoncini right. I should have mentioned earlier that Aykut gave the mice he was studying antifungals that slowed the tumors considerably, he then introduced malassezia into the mice and the tumors rapidly grew again at an increased rate. Google ' chronic diseases associated with malassezia yeast '.
Dr Robert Moir is an amazing person who told truth to power about the waste of money in USA of 400 billion on custodial care and almost nothing on amyloid research for decades. NIH needs to be reorganized to focus on the top most costly, disabling and misdiagnosed diseases in consortiums instead of funding by individual researcher's interests. That results in very little progress. To Dr Moir's family- may his spirit be with you. So sorry he died Dec 2019 of glioblastoma brain cancer.
The fact alone that the general population seems to really disregard such an alarming and damaging degenerative disease is terrifying
RIP, Dr. Moir.
He died today at age 58 from a brain tumor.
May your work, spirit, and ideas live on and be your legacy.
This is very sad!

I am so glad to hear this. If he survived the cancer, he might win the Nobel Prize someday on finding Alzheimer's disease's root cause! What a loss!
