An ingenious group of researchers at the University of Florida discovered all we may need is some peanut butter and a ruler.
Considering that the left side of the brain primarily processes what we smell through our left nostril, and the right side of our brain covers the right nostril, and Alzheimer’s strikes the left side more than the right, what if we performed the following experiment?
Close your eyes and mouth and breathe normally through the nose. Then close one nostril and hold a foot-long ruler out from the open nostril. After their eyes, mouth, and one nostril were closed, the container of peanut butter was opened at the bottom of the ruler and moved closer 1cm upon each exhale until the person indicated that they detected the odor. Then they repeated the whole procedure again using the other nostril.
I read an article recently, that said Alzheimer's has been linked to cataracts. It said, there's a link between ocular health and brain health, that previously wasn't known. https://www.lodenvision.com/cataract...imers-disease/

Diabetes is linked to both Alzheimer's and to cataracts. Could be both issues are more directly related to diabetes than they are to each other.

A search of the literature over the last 20+ years shows a more widespread link between all three of these conditions and a number of other degenerative conditions. All of the following have been associated with deficiencies of vitamin K which is associated with clogging arteries from an age-dependent accumulation of atherosclerosis of arteries.
The research on therapy for the following conditions has not been well planned. To date, I’ve found only one research report that has ensured adequate vitamin D status in subjects before trialing both vitamin K1 and K2 as therapeutics. Vitamin D is essential for the production of all the raw proteins that are activated by vitamin K.
Low vitamin K has also been associated with the following conditions. They all have an insidious onset and gradually worsen, presumably as the atherosclerotic lesions in supply arteries accumulate gradually and in a random manner -- Arteriosclerosis & atherosclerosis, Osteoarthritis, Hypertension, Leg function in oldies, Reproductive biology, Heart conditions, Bone health, Chronic kidney disease, Inflammation biomarkers, Blood cholesterol, Regeneration of blood vessels and skin, Covid19, Cancer, All-cause mortality. References can be supplied.
None of the above appears to have reached mainstream medical practice literature. There appears to be belief, without any supporting evidence, that vitamin K in excess of physiological requirements, causeS emboli of the heart and lungs. There are NO side effects reported for oral vitamin K1 or K2 in Google Scholar or PubMed.
Many of these reports done by our science with money often coming from the population, are available only to those who subscribe or it is necessary to pay for them. It is not even the scientists who receive the money either but the archive websites which appear to get the money. There is also the idea that academic institutions are rich with government money and can afford to pay over the odds for a subscription. Why is it these reports are limited in circulation to those in academia? Almost as if others cannot understand them and are not in the science club. OK, end of rant. I must be getting old and angry.

I may have misunderstood the intent of your post ocpaul20, but all of the research results I've listed above are available to everybody. In many cases there is a paywall against getting the whole text, but you can get the Abstracts at least.
It's simply a case of using the right keywords in Google Scholar eg Vitamin K and Cataracts.
If you simply click on the links I have listed, you can see each of the above articles for yourself.
I should make the point also that the clotting of blood is rather a minor role of vitamin K. It also activates anti-clotting proteins, is a major player in depositing calcium into bones and preventing the deposition of calcium into soft tissues, in the development and maintenance of the nervous system, and most importantly, in the maintenance of artery health by prevention of atherosclerosis.
A couple of researchers have studied the amounts of vitamin K in foods and concluded that western diets do not contain enough to support a healthy lifestyle. In my opinion, it's a situation where tablets or capsules of supplements is the only way to go.
My own research into the literature suggests that we need to take at least 10 times the recommended daily dose in order to prevent or to treat the clogging of arteries, and this needs to be equal parts of vitamin K1 and vitamin K2. As I've said in my last post, you also need to make sure that your vitamin D levels are in the right range, because vitamin D is essential for the manufacture of the raw proteins that vitamin K activates. You'll notice that the list of diseases associated with vitamin K deficiency is very similar to the list associated with deficiency of vitamin D.
