Fraud, Arrogance, and the Failed Quest for an Alzheimer's Cure
2025-02-23
Charles Piller's 'Doctored' exposes decades of fraud and hype in Alzheimer's research. The book details how the dominant amyloid hypothesis, potentially based on fabricated data, led to the underwhelming results of Leqembi, a highly anticipated drug. Billions have been spent with little progress, due to the suppression of alternative research avenues. Piller's investigation calls for a reevaluation of Alzheimer's research and a renewed hope for a real cure.
