Didn't Chinese scientists recently show a crazy success rate (~90%) of treating advanced Alzheimer/dementia by performing a microsurgery of the neck, allowing brain to dispose accumulated waste?

They tried it on 6 people and found "slight improvements" after 5 weeks, with no control group to compare to and no longer term effects known yet.

Certainly seems worth investigating but I wouldn't call it a crazy success yet.
