Description (abstract)

I created this group on January 1, 2016. My sister died because of Alzheimer’s disease in 2015. I want to avoid her terrible fate. I had read that WEPs contain substances that promote health and longevity and prevent diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. In this group, I will test this hypothesis. My meta-research is secondary research about primary research on WEPs.
