Alzheimer Research Forum - Hypothesis Factory

Hypothesis Factory

Updated 2 July 2010 Important Notice: Alzheimer Research Forum does not provide medical advice nor promote any product or service. The contents are for informational purposes only and are not intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always seek advice from a qualified physician or health care professional about any medical concern, and do not disregard professional medical advice because of anything you may read on this web site. The views of individuals quoted on this site are not necessarily those of the Alzheimer Research Forum.
 
This page is devoted to the presentation and exchange of ideas regarding novel hypotheses, hunches, theories-in-progress, etc. All established hypotheses started out as someone's wild notion, and this page pays tribute to them by creating a forum where people with original or unconventional ideas can publicly present and discuss them. See also our AD Hypotheses page.

Submit a hypothesis. Comments are definitely encouraged!
(We also recognize that it is a subjective exercise to decide whether a hypothesis is still half-baked or fully formed and testable. Your opinions on this matter are also welcome.)
