Alpha1 and Alzheimer's and Dementia

Our patent reflects that the brain is under attack from within the body, and the brain is not just destroying itself as previously believed! Our desire with Alzheimer's and Dementia is to change the "Standard of Care" within the medical community while also changing the classification of these diseases of demyelination of brain cells to an autoimmune disease! By doing so, physicians now have another path to preventing and treating these conditions and diseases, as we have described in Mark Egly's 2020 patent filing.

The premises of Mark Egly's patent include disease prevention versus the thinking that cures are more valuable, when in reality, why not make every attempt at prevention for what cannot currently be cured!
