Notice as well that this study was done in Mexico. It would have been a lot harder to get the funding and to publish a study on ivermectin in the US.

Sad, but true.

Tried and proven BCG tuberculosis vaccine with a good safety profile, that uses weakened bacteria, found to substantially reduce Alzheimer and Parkinson rates.

This 14-cent shot is FDA-approved for cancer and proven to prevent Alzheimer's. So why are researchers being blocked from studying it?

A chilling case study in how profit motives stifle medical breakthroughs, from a Stanford bioengineer.

" Prof. Annelise Barron reveals a stark reality in biomedical research: the system is engineered to reward novel, patentable technologies. The focus is on high-cost treatments, not low-cost or free prevention. This isn't just theoreticalit's actively blocking a 111-year-old vaccine with staggering potential.

The BCG vaccine, costing just 14 cents per dose, is FDA-approved for bladder cancer. But landmark studies from Harvard, Israel, and Denmark showed it also slashes the risk of Alzheimer's by 58% and Parkinson's by 28%.

Here's the catch: the moment these revolutionary papers were published, Prof. Barron found the vaccine mysteriously became unavailable for her research.

Think about that. A dirt-cheap, proven intervention that could prevent our most feared neurodegenerative diseases was effectively shelved. The existing, profitable business models for treatingnot curingthese conditions remain unchallenged.

The BCG story is a testament to the power of simple immunology and a damning indictment of a system where the "love of money" dictates which cures see the light of day. It's a powerful reminder that the most transformative medicine isn't always the most complex or expensivesometimes, it's the one they won't let you have."
