Listen to how the true scientist answers questions. He doesn’t make overly enthusiastic claims. He didn’t just endorse L-Sering, he was is specific speaking to what the question was, what they did to investigate, what they tried and simply what the result was. THIS is doing your research looks like and why trusting actual trained and practicing experts is so important.

As someone who was born into a family with a high rate of this disease, this is a breath of fresh air and I hope more advances like this will save millions. Thank you so much for your work Dr. Paul

It won’t help my mom, who is too far gone. But it might save my sisters … and me

5:20- L. Serine is found in: - Eggs - soy tofu - edamame - sweet potatoes - turkey - pork

I am 67, was widowed in 1998. I am totally alone now. I do live a very healthy life style, but I am concerned since my grandmother died, so slowly from this horrific disease. I just don’t want to be a burden to my kids. Praying and following!

Great "Human interest story" CNN....we need more good news like this.....Kudos.

HAFA ADAI from Guam...The study of "Lytico-bodig" disease, aka Guam disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism-dementia (ALS-PDC)[ has been ongoing for many years. I knew of many elders who met their demise with this horrible affliction. I look forward to the findings. Si Yu'os Maåse (Thank you).

Wow! Thank you, Drs. Gupta and Paul!!!

Being half Japanese and half Okinawan, some day I will visit my ancestors islands. Hoping a long healthy life forALL ! Aloha from Hawaii

I really hope they find the cause of Alzhemiers and the cure. I really hope next they try to find the cause and cure for ME/CFS. I was stuck down with this disease at 55. I had a good life. I have a friend whose son was diagnosed at age 15. He is now in his 30s, and mostly bedbound. His life was cut short by this awful disease.

This is a Nobel Prize worthy

Bats can't catch a break. Stop eating them. Eat foods with L-Serine, such as Sweet potatoes, Edible seaweed, Nuts, especially peanuts, almonds, and walnuts, Chickpeas, and Lentils.

Good luck to the researchers and thank you. Is it possible to donate to support them?

I appreciate the real responses from actual people. There is also a ton of troll bots in today's comments.

So pleasing to hear some actual news that's not part of the dog and pony show.😁 Thanks

Please keep us updated. If it can be prevented, I would be willing to do whatever can help prevent it.

I hope you Americans are proud of this man.

Well presented by not saying it's a 'magic pull' but waiting for results. Thank you for your work

Foods high in serine are eggs, soybeans and shellfish.

I heard about this research years ago but they’ve made progress!!

Wow, I wonder if this might apply to other mental conditions like schizophrenia and anxiety. I keep hoping we can find answers in things we can control like diet.

Anytime there is hope. I am all in.

Wow!!!!! What a breakthrough in medicine !! I see a possible Nobel prize in his future ! I was born into this potential threat. I hope this study becomes a realty for prevention and treatment !!

This researcher helps to restore my faith in humanity. This man is a true ambassador for science and I’m thankful for his and his teammates efforts!

Thank you! Looking forward for successful research. I hope this Dr receives an extraordinary support for this extensive research.

II am so PROUD a wonderful brilliant scientist friend of mine works here. Also she is a fabulous photographer, she is in love with the beauty of where she works.

I’m listening either way Sir! I’ve lost loved ones to Alzheimer maternal grandmother and Parkinson’s disease maternal grandfather. Cancer paternal side of my family. I’m blessed to still have my parents and fear I will lose them to it.

The man is an impressive scientist. Thank you for your work.^

Great interview, God speed to these scientists!

Amazing research and reporting

This is so great, thank you.

Thank you for this report - I am looking forward to the results of the trials .

Wonderfully exciting! Hopefully it results in an effective fight against a really horrid disease. Thank you so much!

Awesome story! One question though-what made them decide to test the l-serine as a means to offset the effects of the cyan bacteria?

How very interesting!!! Keep us informed.

Very Interesting and I hope the results show a favorable response.

The story ended on a cliffhanger 😮

This story reminds me of how the root cause of Kuru was discovered. I’m so thankful for unorthodox thinkers and the intellectual excellence of scientists like this. ❤ (this was also cool because I live in the WY mountains!)

Wow - great story indeed 👍🏼👏🏼

Really interesting research. Hopefully they get some good results

Good work, there, on Guam, and thank you, Sanjay, for your great reporting. I am still plant based after seeing your broadcast about preventing heart disease. I recommend playing it again.

You could offer my Dad with Alzheimer’s a cure that would make him 40 years younger. And he’ll probably curse you out and remove you from his Will. Then he’ll get mad that you don’t call everyday.

Great scientific divergent thinking by DR Cox

I have a hearing Impairment and this background music makes it impossible for me to hear the dialogue.

With these great doctors there’s hope for everyone

Awesome!

HOW WONDERFUL GREAT REPORT THANKS

My heartfelt thanks to those scientists who work tirelessly to find a glimmer of hope in retreating all diseases, Alzheimer's especially. If they can cure/treat ALS, wow. They've made strides with the lymphoma diseases, too. All i can say is support your local science teachers and classrooms. Those kids will carry on the work and save more lives. The Nobel prize would help tremendously pay for more research...

Sounds very promising🙏

Too bad the full documentary is only available on CNN and MAX.

It’s good to have hope.

Was there any follow up that eliminating bats from the diet reduced the incidence of cognitive impairment? Seems a giant leap from bats and Cyanobacteria to L-serine.

CNN has NO captions?

Impressive! I'm curious why and how the Dr. zeroed in on L-serine as a possible treatment.

Did no one watch a recent "60 Minutes" episode where one of the top neurosurgeons in the world says he has cured/halted dementia/alzheimer's, with ultra sound? However, I am excited to hear this discovery too.

Yes SYMPTOMS (plaques & tangles) This alone to get thru to the AMA is huge!

This is incredible. Thanks for your perspective, Dr. Cox.

This is great news!

Great info. Another great endorsement to japanese okinawa diet?

Amazing.

Even without the algae, isn't cycad already toxic by itself?

Wonder what Dr. Paul Cox found to be the diet of the Okinawans. I do know they do eat alot of the L-Serin menu shown except turkey but the islanders also eat alot of fish/seafood variety and local vegetables. Can't wait to see the results of Dr.Roman's trial on L-Serin that may help with mild cognitive symptoms.👍

Fun fact Bat in Chamorro is "fani'hi" Fah-knee-hee That's crazy to hear. Grew up there for 20 years. Kind of Mercury exponentially growing in fish.

My Great grandma and grandma had it. Last child out of 21 kids. Part Cherokee Black. (Alabama)

Important.

He mentioned a mix of ALS and Alzheimer's symptoms. Neurodegenerative symptoms. I never knew those could be related.

Hello. Will Phosphatidyl Serine accomplish the same results?

You're looking at my yard

Good luck!

Interesting 🤔 If safe, why not add it to your diet? I would have asked the researcher, has this changed your diet?

Explains why Ozzy Osbourne lost his marbles.

Why did he not use pictures instead of words, in his tests on alzheimers patients?

Very significant findings for Florida, where blue-green algae in polluted water is a major problem.

Blue green algae worked very well on my symptoms. Maybe it depends on where it comes from.

Wow 👏🏼👏🏼

Amazing 😀🇨🇦

This should have CC enabled.

I wish that it hadn't been necessary to test on animals. We do have other ways of finding this information. But thank you for showing that if we pay attention to our diet we can find both the causes and the cures of our diseases.

Love it I hope dr Gupta follows up with clinical results . I pray they get this through and it’s affordable to everyone ! Like insulin is not!!!

Alzheimer’s is not a fun thing to experience

The music makes this impossible to listen to, probably good info, but lost in the annoying sounds

So I should probably not use my fish/turtle pond water to water my vegetable plants?

What are the current results??

CNN should discover closed caption options.

I, for one, will definitely stay tuned. And it certainly can’t hurt to eat more of those foods in the meantime, especially the plant-based sources.

I remember reading about lydigo bodig disease in The Pacific Daily News back in the 1980s. Then the theory was that flour made from the kernel of the fadang palm (cycad) was the cause. So the cycad is still considered the source, but the route of ingestion has been more specifically identified.

If its a treatment, perhaps you are close to understanding a cure!!🎉🎉 thank you for your dedication, Dr!🎉🎉

A How much L-Serene are the using in the trial dose?

Why are captions not available for this?

Magnetic density and direction ..if we reduce magnetic below weber then people and computer lose most data

There are many toxins that can contribute to one getting Alzheimer. The principal creator of some of these Toxins is the Fructose in our diet which has several downstream effects from Obesity, Insulin Resistance, high blood pressure, arteriolosclerosis and Alzh to name a few. The brain itself gets little direct Fructose, but its downstream effect of Insulin Resistance results in neuron mitochondria being full of glucose causing the creation of ROS (Reactive Oxidative Stress) substances. With the excess glucose and use of ATPs Fructose is created in the mitochondria. With a lack of ATPs (the energy of the cell/Neron), essentially starvation, it starts to protect itself in a manner by the creation of amyloid and tau as there are insufficient ATPs to keep the proteins from misfolding. It is very complex, but the main factors, first was the increase consumption of Sugar from sugar cane (1 Glucose + 1 Fructose) and then in 1965 with the development of high Fructose Corn Syrup which is cheaper to manufacture than Sugar. - Now 80% of folk are overweight, 60% higher Uric Acid levels than in blood of a person from 1890, (Uric Acid directly causes higher blood pressure) and the development of Alzh later in life. KZfaq has many videos with Dr. Johnston and Dr. Lustig discussing this topic. Do a search Ford and Fructose or Lustig and Fructose. (Eat an apple, don't drink Apple Juice or Soda.) An average person can eat 10 to 12 grams of Fructose a day which is equivalent to 24 grams of Sugar. Less than a can of coke cola. Beyond that it has a cascading effect on the body's metabolism including increase appetite and the signaling of the body to convert glucose to fat in the liver (similar to the effect of over drinking which causes fatty liver disease).

I think it would be wise to look at the long term study done out of Mayo Clinic...nearly 50 years. You will present a more scientific point of view. This didn't begin in 2003; I worked with the people in Guam in 1996. A ton of information that should be added here; this is quite incomplete.

The body can already produce its own L-serine with the help of vitamin b6 (pyridoxal phosphate). This just demonstrates the necessity for balanced nutrition status.

Dr Gupta, please search more angels like Dr Paul and tell us about them

How do you explain it being a genetic disease if a toxin would be the cause?

The body can adapt to any food and its quantity, to treatment, to lifestyle and habits. But... the owner of the organism may not like this adaptation. Be content with little. What doesn't kill us makes us weaker.

Sanjay I need to see this doctor in this doctor needs to see me

I hope Bruce Willis is in this treatment research treatment.....❤

The Japanese and other Asian cultures have had and maintained an enormous body of knowledge about the effects of all the different foods we consume. When a patient visits a doctor, food is always discussed and practical remedies are offered. Nutrition is also taught in public school, starting in primary school. Here in the west, we don’t even teach this to doctors, and they aren’t capable of addressing the effects of food on their patients. We also feed children heaps of ultra-processed foods in the public schools. This is incredibly ignorant on our part given that this knowledge has been accumulated and passed down for millennia. It’s time the authorities and influencers of policy started moving in the right direction.
