I do admit, her eating habits and penchant for pharmaceuticals (not for getting high), and lack of quality exercise, was most likely the largest culprit for her demise. Never smoked or drank, never did drugs. It was very undeserving, as she gave to those who needed to a fault, and did without for herself. But I have read many articles and studies, years past, that connected Alzheimer’s to aluminum. Aluminum, it seems has the ability to pass through the brain barrier, unlike most metals. At least these studies implied so. I would have to do some searching for it. I’ve been a natural medicine follower since about 1990. It has served me very well, so far. ALL preparations for natural remedies call for non aluminum pans, I’ve always assumed, for this reason.
