Lots of people look to be trying to cover up and unfairly suppress this treatment. I guess big pharma stands a lot to lose, and they work for them.

I favor trials, of course, but the ones suppressing it would rather just bury it.

Seems like this treatment is widely reported on and there's interest in running controlled trials to evaluate its actual success rate. It's shown up on HN a lot.

And honestly, caution is valuable here. People with Alzheimer's are extremely vulnerable. As are their loved ones. Ensuring it's got rigorous data so caregivers can understand the tradeoffs seems important. Surgery at an advanced age is risky, no matter what.
