I've seen signs that amyloids are the brain's way of binding harmful some harmful chemicals for which the
brain has no natural way of sending them out of the brain. At least one medical trial found a way to
dissolve amyloids in the brain but found that this did not help Alzheimer's. Could this mean that the
harmful chemicals, not the amyloids, are the cause of Alzheimer's? If so. expect all methods that
dissolve the amyloids without removing the harmful chemicals to be more likely to make Alzheimer's worse
than to help it.

Ayahuasca Stimulates Neurogenesis In The Hippocampus, Study Shows

Tests show that this allows forming new memories, but the tests do not appear to have checked whether it does anything to recover old memories.
