[ExI] It appears that China has developed a cure for Alzheimer's

[Keith Henson]

As we know, drugs have not had much success with AlzheimersI

China has developed a surgical cure for Alzheimers China successfully
invented a surgery for curing Alzheimer?s disease.  Known as LVA
surgery, it is performed on neck lymphatics.  So far, there have been
42 clinical trials, all have been successes.

LVA Surgery, otherwise known as deep cervical lymphatic-venous
anastomosis surgery was performed on a 76-year-old man with moderate
Alzheimer's disease, his symptoms were significantly improved. The
follow-up results two months after the operation showed that the old
man not only had a significant recovery in
memory, but also could communicate normally with others.

The theoretical basis of deep cervical lymphatic-venous anastomosis is
the abnormal accumulation of A?-amyloid protein and abnormal
phosphorylation of tau protein in the brain, which are two important
causes of Alzheimer's disease

The operation uses super microsurgery technology to shunt the
lymphatic circulation in the meninges, accelerate the return of intra
cerebral lymph through the jugular foramen at the skull base, and take
away more metabolic products in the brain, thereby achieving the goal
of possibly reversing brain degenerative lesions and slowing the
progression of the disease.

It can be simply understood as a mechanical excretion process.
The abnormal accumulation of amyloid protein in the elderly's brain is
like a clogged sewer, and the "waste" cannot be transported out in
time. The deep cervical lymphatic-venous anastomosis can greatly speed
up the removal of "waste" and improve the removal efficiency.

On the morning of November 11, Professor Tang Juyu, director of the
Microsurgery Reconstruction Clinical Research Center of Xiangya
Hospital of Central South University, had just completed the 42nd deep
cervical lymphatic-venous anastomosis in the hospital. Because it was
a minimally invasive surgery, the
patient could get out of bed and move around the next day.

Among these 42 patients, in addition to restoring their memories, Tang
Juyu also saw that patients who were originally indifferent and
taciturn could communicate with him in a cheerful and talkative manner
during the follow-up visit after the operation.

Although many patients have significant symptom improvement after
surgery, experts believe that this surgery can only provide a new idea
for the current treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and its specific
effectiveness still needs more research to confirm.

is Nobel prize material.]
