      There’s a comment about increased risk of cancer from the drug they’re talking about. I’m way more afraid of dementia than I am of cancer. Right now, cancer can be treated. The treatment sucks, ofc, but still, it’s there. AD can’t be treated. Slowed maybe, but side effects there too. Always tradeoffs. I’ve known too many people with dementia. They’re gone way before they die.

        I only skimmed this article but seems to suggest that’s not a major concern with their treatment.

        Pieper emphasized that current over-the-counter NAD±precursors have been shown in animal models to raise cellular NAD+ to dangerously high levels that promote cancer. The pharmacological approach in this study, however, uses a pharmacologic agent (P7C3-A20) that enables cells to maintain their proper balance of NAD+ under conditions of otherwise overwhelming stress, without elevating NAD+ to supraphysiologic levels.

          This is legit the best news I have read in such a long time. I almost can’t believe it is real. I’m hopeful this will be the start of curing these horrible diseases and giving people back their lives and their families back their loved one.

          No illnesses scare me more than the dementia ones. I hope to never have anyone I love fall into the claws of that illness.
