"If we can diagnose people early enough, we might be able to start therapies that prevent them from ever developing clinical Alzheimer's."

Research.

Researchers show that a quick nasal swab can pick up early biological changes linked to Alzheimer’s, even before thinking and memory problems appear.

    For those who didn’t read the article, they ask patients to insert a nasal swab into either nostril for 5 minutes. Meanwhile they have you fill out a questionnaire. Once complete, you are free to leave.

    Any patient who walks out of the office with the swab still jammed up their nose is likely to be developing Alzheimer’s.

      Thank you for saving me from reading the article.
      I also found a nasal swab up my nose, but that is from an unrelated drinking problem.

      Well, good job, dude.

      A completely made-up response “for those who didn’t read the article,” and it continues to be upvoted.

      I posted what the article actually says and no one cares.
