There’s a lot of electronic activity going on about “video proof” of a “miracle cure” for Alzheimer’s – the anti-arthritis medication Enbrel. I think it’s important to listen to all the voices out there on this one. The impulse is to fly into action and proclaim a cure. But there’s a lot of science that has to wrap itself around this first. Peter Whitehouse calls the reporting on Enbrel “premature, irresponsible hype.” Remember the “vaccine” caused some serious brain swelling (people died) and then scientists found that even with the clearing up of plaques, that function didn’t improve. One of the headlines describes this treatment as an “awakening”, drawing an association with the film/book Awakenings – in which a pill treatment “woke up” people who were deeply withdrawn into disease. But the treatment did not last.
I suggest using all our media literacy skills here – look at how the story is being told, who is telling it, and what information isn’t available.
Here are just a few links to the discussion on Enbrel.
