🧬 Page 699 – Immunotherapy for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)
Science Magazine (May 14, 2021) reports on the development of monoclonal antibody treatments targeting Alzheimer’s disease.
🧪 These treatments aim to slow or stop the progression of the disease by helping the immune system target problematic proteins like amyloid-beta.
However…
đźš« These monoclonal antibodies are patentable, making them profitable, unlike the preventative vaccine options that the Mad Scientist has previously highlighted.
🧠He notes that while the treatment may help slow further damage, it does not reverse existing brain injury, meaning early intervention is essential.
💡 Hopeful Note: Begin immunotherapy early in life—or vaccinate preventatively—and we might eradicate Alzheimer’s before it starts.

🌱 Botanical Curiosity – The Potato-Tomato Chimera
Shifting from neurology to horticulture, we hear about an intriguing natural trick:
🥔🍅 The potato and the tomato are close botanical cousins.
🌿 By grafting a tomato plant top (scion) onto a potato plant base (rootstock), you can create a dual-crop plant:
🍅 Tomatoes grow above ground all summer
🥔 Potatoes grow below ground, harvested in fall
This non-GMO plant fusion is a gardener’s dream—one root system, two crops.
🧪 The Mad Scientist hasn't tried it yet, but he encourages listeners to experiment and report back.
