2020-10-27 06:54:52 PM debbief82 makes sense.Kinda like they are choking them out?

2020-10-27 06:58:42 PM cchase ok so these plaques and tangles block communications
2020-10-27 06:58:58 PM cchase the communications is the brain telling your body how to function
2020-10-27 06:59:12 PM cchase how to talk, eat, breathe, walk
2020-10-27 06:59:43 PM cchase eventually - the brain cannot give commands anymmore

2020-10-27 07:01:45 PM shedenaalexander i see
2020-10-27 07:01:51 PM jeanneb ok
2020-10-27 07:01:52 PM cchase now that wire has a crimp - and now that pulse stops in it's track right at that crimp
