Shot Heard Round The World: Good-Vibrations Innovation Looks Extremely Promising As Alzheimer’s Fix

Researchers at Australia’s Queensland Brain Institute have come up with a novel application of an old tool that might seriously impact the lives of people suffering from one of the worst diseases imaginable;

-Alzheimer’s.

“Breakthrough” might even be the word used to describe it.

Though he hasn’t yet discussed the inspiration for what is basically a Physical trick instead of a pharmaceutical one,

Something lead Dr. Jurgen Gotz & his team to think that of all things, an old ultrasound box could be used on something as fragile as the brain,

Maybe even as a miraculous cure.

 
And the way this fix works is not exactly what you might think.

According to the description, the ultrasound does not “blast-away” things the way that traditional sports-medicine ultrasounds, on say a muscle, seem to modify tissue.

According to QBI, what Dr. Goetz’s technique does is to:
1) Open the blood-brain-barrier,
2) Create small bubbles, and then
3) Somehow agitate special cells called Micro-Glials into action.

They then work to clear out the Beta-Amyloid plaques that are the chief-irritant in an Alzheimerized-brain.

 
In-fact, this technique very probably activates the brain’s artery-surrounding hydraulic “Glymphatic System”, which we talked about here earlier.

Lucky for the subjects, the important Blood-Brain-Barrier is only open for a few hours, so it’s possible that the health risk is minimal.

 
Either way you look at it, the QBI team has scored an incredible win against a tough adversary, and with a pretty sweet 75% initial success rate.

Not only did the mice remember things they’d been taught, but the scans of their brains afterward showed definitively that huge amounts of beta-amyloid had been flushed out.

For some people, the human trials in 2017 cannot come fast enough!


The only questions that remain to be answered are:
1) Does it clear out the other source of Alzheimer’s? (Tau Proteins)
2) Will it be safe for humans, who are a little bit more complicated than mice & need to remember more than 3 things?
3) Are there ultrasound tools that can reach all the affected areas of the brain, or are things like an Intersecting-3-Beam setup necessary?
