I am deeply frustrated by two plangent observations: 1) we squander scant resources in useless AD trials and 2) AD can easily be cured if we applied those same resources to useful AD trials. Applying our resources with insight, we will cure Alzheimer’s within two years.

The first frustration is that most pharmaceutical firms and biotech companies continue to beat their heads against the same wall, regardless of clinical results. Whether they attack beta amyloid, tau proteins, mitocondrial function, inflammation, or any other target, the results have been, without exception, complete clinical failures. To be clear, many studies can show that you can affect beta amyloid or other biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease, but none of these studies show any effect on the clinical outcome. In the case of amyloid, it doesn’t matter whether you target production or the plaques themselves. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars, despite tens of thousands of patients, not one of these trials has ever shown clinical efficacy. Yet these same companies continue to not only run into walls, but remained convinced that if they can only run faster and hit the wall faster, they will somehow successfully breach the wall. They succeed only in creating headaches, accompanied by lost money, lost opportunities, and lost patients. The problem is not a lack of intelligence or ability. The researchers are – almost without exception – some of the most intelligent, well-educated, technically trained, and hard-working people I know. The irony is that they are some of the best 20th century minds I know. The problem, however, is that it is no longer the 20th century. If you refuse to adapt, refuse to change your paradigm, refuse to come into the 21st century, you will continue to get 20th century results and patients will continue to die of Alzheimer’s disease. Money and intelligence continues to be dumped into the same clichéed paradigm of pathology, as we aim at the wrong targets and misunderstand how Alzheimer’s works. And the result is… tragedy.

The second frustration is that we already know the right target and we already understand how Alzheimer’s disease works. We are entirely able to cure and prevent Alzheimer’s disease now. At Telocyte, we already have the initial resources we need to move ahead, but it is surprising how difficult it is for some people — wedded to 20th century concepts — to grasp the stunning potential, both clinically and financially of what we are about to do at Telocyte. We can not only reverse Alzheimer’s disease, but we can also cut the costs of health care while creating a stunningly successful biotech company in the process. We have the right tools, the right people, the right partners, and the sheer ability to take this through FDA trials. Already, we have several lead investors committed to our success. We are asking for a handful of additional investors, those who can see what the 21st century is capable of and who can understand why Telocyte is both the best clinical investment and the best financial investment in innovative medical care.
