Billions raised. Zero cures. Today I’m releasing my new book-The Cure Trap: Why the Most Funded Word in Medicine Keeps Failing Patients.
After 10 years inside the Parkinson’s research & biotech machine, and awake brain surgery of my own, I’m releasing the full book for free.
🤖 Made with AI
Because the trials and capital allocations inside are happening right now, I bypassed the 9–12 month publishing wait to release it immediately and for free.

By enshrining a culture in which pathology is disease and disease is pathology, we are entering a dystopian world in which a positive test of pathology can brand people as having a disease they may never actually suffer from. lnkd.in/p/gVdZRUM9

You don't need any aggregated forms to get symptoms if you lose the functional protein, and you can survive aggregated forms if you have enough of the functional protein. For how long the field will ignore this?

Despite decades of research we don’t actually know if affected cells die. The vast majority of studies count markers (such as TH...) rather than neurons themselves. We have been counting the lights in the windows of a city, not the buildings themselves.

Misfolded proteins aren't the cause of neurodegenerative diseases; they are debris in a system-wide energy failure.
Biology gives us a list of parts, but physics writes the manual.

A short but super cool video that gives a quick overview of our Nature paper on the SCAN of PD, along with videos showing patients with Parkinson's before and after non-invasive brain surface stimulation (see thread).🧠 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

In Parkinson’s, we obsess over what α-synuclein becomes when aggregated, and ignore what neurons lose when its normal form disappears. New data in α-syn KO mice: hyposmia, apoptosis, impaired autophagy. Depletion may matter more than we think. linkedin.com/posts/alberto-e…
