Substack is being glitchy and not allowing me to reply directly to people, so here is my reply to Priscilla….

Thank you, Priscilla. Great news that your MP voted against. Unfortunately, but wholly unsurprisingly, mine (Labour) voted for.

Great that you're already doing so much to avoid Alzheimer's, but alas, diatomaceous earth does not have the same effects (that's the DE I referred to in the paragraph in question), as DE and other forms of silica can't cross the gut wall. Only silicic acid can. You don't have to drink Volvic, though. You can drink beer! (Including non-alcoholic beer if you prefer, IPAs being the highest in silicic acid.)

My mother was always healthy but at some point in her later life her doctor prescribed statins.

It could have been just a coincidence but my daughters and I noticed a change in her, asking the same question repeatedly, forgetfulness. It got worse. She eventually got a diagnosis of dementia.

I wonder how she would have been if she hadn't taken the statins.
