You sound discouraged.
You should be encouraged.
My understanding is that the ptau-217 tests show results decades before the symptoms occur. It, and amyloid beta, build very slowly. The best time to address it is before you have symptoms.

The author has written several books on lithium and recommends lithium for his patients and in paid seminars. He is highly biased, but maybe his bias is justified.
My overly simplistic understanding of the brain cleaning process is that microglia, which need lithium, bag up the trash (autophagy) and the glymphatic system takes it out. So both are needed.
