This documentary gives an interesting overview of the coincidence of the presence of cyanobacteria/BMAA in the brain tissue of some people/vervets who have ALS or Alzheimer's disease, but fails to address the more critical question of whether the cyanobacteria/BMAA actually is a cause of these diseases, the real "holy grail" of finding a cure for them.

This is a must see movie for everyone!

Harrison Ford made a great movie about how algal blooms containing cyanobacteria are making many people ill, getting Alzheimer's disease & dying all over the World.
It was interesting too that the Asians have an antidote to the harmful effects of the cyanobacteria. They eat alot of sweet potatos, & a Japanese friend told me "that she eats alot of leeks, along with Wasabi & seaweed too".
I'm avoiding oysters & clams after this documentary though, as filter feeders they accumulate the contamination from algal blooms, no thanks I'll pass!
