Elevated heat shock proteins actually makes good sense as a reason. We should check ClinicalTrials.gov using the key words: Alzheimer and “heat shock protein”.

I just tried anf found a total of 130 trials using Heat shock proteins 70 or 90 (HSP70 and HSP90) and with very few exceptions they are all cancer trials.

Monoculture.

Sauna sounds good at this point.

Would working out hard (HIIT), that makes the heart rate go up a lot (~180bpm) generate enough heat in the body for a similar effect?

Basically, can I replace sauna with 30 minutes of vigorous cardio?

So sauna/Turkish bath/hot-springs users have reduced incidence of Alzheimer's?
