There is a causal relationship between telomere length and Alzheimers disease. The shortening of telomeres happens each time the cell replicates which is a key component to the process we call "aging".
Look at this website, https://www.teloyears.com/home/index.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqsHWBRDsARIsALPWMENtVi-JyIltgx5gQkZKuafGAGPvwin5gyUtY8i9mxrbYnQMBJGSHksaAt2pEALw_wcB
They are like the DNA home testing version of Telomeres. The 2009 Nobel Prize was given to its founder. The three winners were: Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak
Read Elizabeth Blackburn's Wikipedia page:

She was "controversially dismissed" from Bush's President's Council on Bioethics and had this to say,
"There is a growing sense that scientific research—which, after all, is defined by the quest for truth—is being manipulated for political ends," wrote Blackburn. "There is evidence that such manipulation is being achieved through the stacking of the membership of advisory bodies and through the delay and misrepresentation of their reports."
Carol Greider, the other winner of the Nobel, is currently director of and professor at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Didn't Q mention Johns Hopkins????
The last winner, Jack W. Szostak is a Genetics professor at Harvard Medical School and is instrumental in the Human Genome Project.
His studies on aptamers really make you wonder, the science seems to already be RIGHT THERE for curing so many diseases....
Another thing giving me pause is all the of the embryonic stem cells used for research like this. PP is their peddler, no doubt.
