If I were experiencing cognitive decline right now, I’d at least experiment with ultrasound therapy to the brain. Here’s the protocol of a current study trying to reproduce the findings of a buried UofAZ study (Hammeroff) that claimed to reverse alzheimers.

I’m definitely weary of claims about reversing Alzheimer’s. Once brain matter is dead, there’s no bringing it back. There are things that seem to show neuro protection such as light and sound stimulation at 40 Hz, which yes, my company is involved with.

This isn't intended to revive necrotic tissue. Another observed correlate of alz is microtubule depolymerization, and ~10mhz can repolymerize them. IF Orch-OR is right, and microtubules (and quantum effects within them) are critical for consciousness, then repolymerizing them would restore some function. That's the theory, and the test. Hammeroff describes a bit of the mechanics of the theory leading into the alzheimers component in this interview here: https://youtu.be/uLo0Zwe579g?t=4514 The 40hz vs 10mhz difference is basically: Is this a neural theory or a microtubule theory? Obviously neuronal is the dominant model right now, but I must say it sounds a little slow for consciousness to me (I'm not an expert on the brain, just an experiencing person).
