the following speaker gets a dishonorable mention in Quackwatch but I remain curious, and he does cover some of the mainstream stuff......
Embedded is part 1 (of nine parts) Steven Fowkes presents on "Preventing and Reversing Alzheimer's Disease". This part covers the "verbal introduction and the falling-dominoes illustration of the Alzheimer's cascade":
2 - contains the verbal summary of the Alzheimer's cascade, energy systems of the brain, and a side-by-side comparison of aerobic and anaerobic energy systems.

3 - covers the Alzheimer's Map (schematic), mitochondria, and creatine kinase (the first domino in the Alzheimer's disease cascade).

4 - cardiovascular considerations and begins the fuel discussion with glucose and insulin resistance.

5 - discussion advances to ketones, ketosis (fat-burning metabolism), and practical issues about getting into ketosis.http://youtu.be/ElcwF6dKwaQ
6 - covers the antioxidant defense system, glutathione (the "star of the movie"), and the brain's phosphorylation cycle (the brains "biorhythm).

7 - this is where the Alzheimer's cascade goes mainstream, where it becomes recognized as Alzheimer's disease by physicians and scientists. Topics: microtubules (the neural transportation system), neurofibrillary tangles (tau protein), beta amyloid plaques, and the proposed mechanism for apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genetic risks.

9 - covers cognitive testing (professional and at-home), contact information for Steve Fowkes and CERI, and supplemental slides on possible zinc toxicity and root-canal teeth.
