One person develops dementia every three minutes, yet too many face it alone. This Dementia Action Week, we’re calling on everyone to take action to improve the everyday lives of people affected by dementia. Big or small actions can improve the everyday lives of people affected by dementia. Video by Cumbria Police. […]
Should we always challenge the distorted beliefs of someone with dementia or do inaccurate memories play an important role in helping them to retain key information? Researchers at the University of Birmingham suggest that distorted memories play a role in preserving knowledge for someone with dementia and that the role they play should be evaluated. […]
Does human exposure to aluminium have a role to play in autism spectrum disorder (ASD)? Research at Keele University published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology provides the strongest indication yet that aluminium is an aetiological agent in ASD. The aluminium content of brain tissues from 5 donors who died with a diagnosis […]

The Emperor is Naked: No aluminium, no Alzheimer’s disease. This is the, perhaps unexpected, conclusion of a new open access paper published in Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Reports. Putting the headline in context what is actually being suggested is that brain content of aluminium is a catalyst for Alzheimer’s disease. In the absence of pathologically significant […]
According to Alzheimer’s Society, there are approximately 42,000 people in the UK with a form of young onset dementia, where ‘young’ means between the ages of 30 and 65. For those people, the effects of dementia can be even more devastating as many in this age bracket still struggle to balance work and maintain mortgage […]

UK tap water contains very low levels of dissolved silicon or silicic acid (more often referred to as silica), which is unfortunate for the nation’s health. I think everyone should drink silicon-rich mineral water every day to remove toxic aluminium from their bodies and brains. Over the last 10 years, my team at Keele University […]

Brussels sprouts could provide an answer to treating Alzheimer’s – the most common cause of dementia. A supercharged version of the acid derived from our Christmas dinner veg is the basis of new research aimed at developing a new drug to treat the progressive brain disease. Experts at the University of Aberdeen are working on […]

There has been a strong link between human exposure to aluminium and the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease for half a century or more. However, without definite proof, there is still no consensus in the scientific community about the role of this known neurotoxin in this devastating brain disease. The latest research from my group, published […]

Alzheimer’s disease is by far the commonest form of dementia, affecting around 1.5 per cent of all people over the age of 65. There is still no cure, but research has shown that loss of higher brain functions is caused when normal amyloid proteins change their shape and settle as coils of fibrous material on […]
