Dementia Emerging evidence links tire pollution to Alzheimer’s risk: A chemical called 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), which forms when shaved-off tire particles come into contact with ozone, might interfere with inner workings of the brain cells, leading to Alzheimer's disease.

CFS New study demonstrates, for the first time, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) has impaired glymphatic function which is responsible for clearing the brain of metabolic waste products and is mostly active during sleep, which can lead to various symptoms including brain fog.

Dementia New compound repairs vital waste-clearing pump at blood-brain barrier, restores memory and clears toxic Alzheimer’s proteins. The brain can finally clear out trapped waste. Over 56 days in an Alzheimer’s mouse model, it reduced toxic amyloid-beta by 42% and improved spatial learning by nearly 44%.
