THE QUEST TO CURE ALZHEIMER'S

On the February 13, 2025 episode of City Watch, hosts Carlos Menchaca and Jeff Simmons talk with Charles Pillar, author of the new book, DOCTORED: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer's (Atria/One Signal Publishers). 

Based on years of investigative reporting, DOCTORED exposes a vast network of deceit and its power players, all the way up to the FDA. Piller names names – many for the first time ever – and blows the cover on evidence that hundreds of important Alzheimer’s research papers are based on false data, yet steer billions in research and development funds. All this often takes place with little consequence to the perpetrators – as Alzheimer’s patients see their agency, capacity for human connection, and finally their sense of self ebb away.
