I did a quick look.

Beta-amyloid is found in the blood, and muscles, too. Seemingly in maybe regular form and not the kind of tangles found in the brain.
Don't quote me, tho, bc one headline said it may be a *whole body" problem which I've never heard before.
Like ...what... they get into the brain, and maybe the excess doesn't get flushed out?

My dad had "regular" dementia from a bleeding stroke and that was sad enough.
