I agree with the warnings in the article and the statement that after talking to officials the author believes that Iran was indeed behind the tanker attacks is incredible: only hard evidence is credible.
Although there is no scientific evidence, many have reversed dementia. I suggest to go to brokenbrain.com and drperlmutter.com to get yourself informed.
Average age by itself is not very insightful.
Happiness, illness, cause of death, wars and spending on health care are more insightful and will show a very different bubble graph.
Let's simplify things:
AI is nothing more than feeding a decision model a lot of data so that AI can 'intelligently' copy decisions.
Doctors only have unproven theories about the causes of cancer and the traditional therapies do not cure but merely kill.
When the best AI system of the far future is fed with the data of today, it will fail also because the data does not contain a solution.
It is sad to see that the "positive result" is a reduction in cognitive decline. That is not being called a medicine.
Fortunately, Dr Dale Bredesen has a treatment that reverses Alzheimer's in 9 out of 10 patients.
A few days ago naturalness.com had an article about this topic and refers to 3 scientific studies that show that the more toxins the mother was exposed to, the less IQ the child has. It is a linear function.
What I did is watch the 8 hour docuseries at www.brokenbrain.com and learn from 50 doctors what the various causes are and how to treat these caused. It did help me a lot to understand depression but my depressed son does not want to watch the docuseries. Sigh.
You do need to have a foundation which you can learn in a university but also outside a university. My bet is that you can learn it faster and cheaper outside university.
The guidelines are just BS. There is no good reason to remove the channel of the veganist. Nor is there any good reason to remove the channel of the HealthRanger (see www.naturalmews.com).
I suggest to look at Mill Computing. They are designing a new CPU which has the power of Intel, the security of a mainframe and the power usage of Raspberry Pi.
There is a lot of evidence that oxidative stress is a major "cause". But one has to look at what causes oxidative stress. There is a lot of scientific literature about this topic.
Dr Dale Bredesen has a method (not a medicine) to successfully treat Alzheimer's: 9 out of 10 patients are cured. He is currently doing a larger study and might be interested in Y Combinator since his method has many variables and he wants to use software to make it available to many doctors.
