Type-3 diabetes? It's degraded endocrine and cardiovascular functionality. Basically, your enzymes stop producing -- things like testosterone and insulin. Your lungs stop working as efficiently, and your brain just gives out.

If you're looking to beat type-3 diabetes, you need to have a daily routine of exercise while you're young to keep these systems in shape when you're old.

You also don't need to belong to any marginalized groups, as ACEs tend to wear your body out over time -- breathing, kidneys, and heart in particular. People with traumatic childhoods (bullying, abusive parents, etc) have a huge risk of dying of dementia -- if their kidneys don't give out first.

Alzheimer’s is a good example of a disease where we don’t have great scientific understanding on the underlying causes, but that doesn’t stop individuals from believing they understand it better than the scientists.

True dat. But most of Europe calls it type-3 diabetes, because of the reasons given.

Actual Scientists are calling it Type-3. But these are the same scientists that are actually reversing Type 2 diabetes without expensive drugs. Of course they exist outside the pharma narrative, and they don't have any uncurious attack dogs willing to defend their narrative-busting results.

>and they don't have any uncurious attack dogs willing to defend their narrative-busting results.

Well, they seem to have some champions here...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Get curious

Are recurrent childhood neglect and abuse events not an antecedent to mental health morbidity in adulthood, which then creates missed opportunities for growth and necessitates and the need for the use of medications?

I think you’re making a giant leap from A to Z and missing a whole bunch in between.

All I know is that people with higher ACE scores have higher dementia rates. And that higher ACE scores are linked with heart failure, lung failure, and kidney failure.

Stress ages the body. Homeless people can age several years, being on the streets for just a few months.

I've also seen numerous people in these upbringings die in their 50s and 60s from kidney failure. My stepdad was one of them. My father too.

My father had a normal childhood, except he had a traumatic experience of shooting his twin brother while they were playing cowboys and indians. Spent his entire life blaming himself. Went through all the normal development phases. Not on any meds.

His body just started shutting down prematurely. It's common in people with those experiences. First, his breathing got bad. Then his kidneys. Then he started having heart problems.

And that's the pattern. Heart, lungs, kidneys. Which are all linked to the brain. And eventually lead to dementia-like symptoms. At least that's what the research on ACEs seems to point out.

And the pattern holds in people who suffer excessive bullying, societal excommunication or exile, domestic violence, or social stigma.

Marginalized people have a high death rate in their 50s and 60s, because of societal bullshit -- no other factors needed.

Are those things not linked to cPTSD,

which is linked to nervous and endocrine dysfunction,

which is linked to Alzheimer’s/Dementia?

> your brain just gives out.

Meaning, failing of the glymphatic (and possibly lymphatic!) systems.
