This YouTube segment (by Ben Greenfield) presents exosomes as a promising therapeutic tactic for Alzheimer’s disease, which the speaker refers to as "diabetes type 3." The clip suggests exosomes may reduce systemic inflammation and promote neurogenesis and angiogenesis, potentially improving disease outcomes. It also explains intranasal delivery as a route that reaches the bloodstream and central nervous system via the olfactory and trigeminal nerves.

We know now, Alzheimer's is, in essence, it's a type of diabetes. Right? Diabetes type 3. Hey, what are we able to do? If we're able to kind of bring down that systemic inflammation and we're able to help create new neurogenesis and angiogenesis, are we able to improve that? And I'm hoping in time to tell, but it is. It is promising. What are the exosomes actually doing to cause such a dramatic healing effect? Well, if you think that intranasal delivery, the nasal mucosa is very well vascularized area, right? So it provides a direct pathway to the bloodstream and even the central nervous system through the olfactory nerve and the trigeminal nerve pathway.
