Hi, this research is very interesting. I have also looked at work by Dr Gus Alva with regard to alzheimers and aluminium. I live in Wales and behind my house is a mile long aluminium work factory. The amount of cases of alzheimers in elderly people around here has risen dramatically and wondering who I can speak to fro inquests.
Thanks
Rhiannon
