Alzheimer’s “Miracle” Drug: The Dirty TRUTH

Posted June 17, 2021
Dear Turapür Today Reader,
In case you missed it, late last week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of the experimental drug aducanumab for early phases of Alzheimer’s disease – the first time the FDA has approved a new therapy since 2003.
Aducanumab was developed for patients with mild cognitive impairment and is intended to slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease (not just ease symptoms).
Many networks and mainstream pundits quickly touted the drug as a potential “miracle” for Alzheimer’s.
Folks across the country are continually seeking a “cure” for this life-altering brain disease.
And for readers of Turapür Today, I’ve talked at length at the hope that one day there will be a viable cure for Alzheimer’s.
But let me be frank…
While the news about aducanumab does show some promise, I’m very skeptical.
That’s because beneath the glossy headline around this potential “miracle” drug, there are some dirty truths you need to know about.
First, the FDA approved aducanumab using its “accelerated approval” program, which allows for the earlier approval of a drug for a serious or life-threatening illness even though more study into the drug’s benefits may be needed.
In fact, just last year an FDA advisory committee concluding that there is not enough evidence to support the effectiveness of the treatment!
In other words, A LOT more research needs to be done to fully understand how the drug works… and if it’s really effective.
Second, Big Pharma is poised to make a FORTUNE with this new drug… with older adults most likely footing the bill.
Aducanumab developer Biogen admitted that the cost of treatment (which requires an infusion once every four weeks) is about $4,312 per infusion! And over the course of a year will run close to $56,000!

That’s OUTRAGEOUS… and quite frankly, robbery!
In other words, while the news around aducanumab may be welcoming… I believe you need to temper your expectations.
If you have a history of Alzheimer’s in your family, or believe you may be at risk, continue to have on-going conversations with your doctor on the treatment plan that’s right for you.
In the meantime, I’ll continue to monitor the news around aducanumab and what it means for the future of Alzheimer’s care and treatment.
