Low dose Mtx (ie 10-20mg/week) is used to treat auto-immune inflammation (such as in Rheumatoid or Psoriatic Arthritis).

Yes and try giving that to an elderly person for a long time to prevent dementia ? They will never get dementia as it will kill them.

Obviously it's not for everybody & it does require periodic monitoring with blood tests but long term low dose Mtx has few side effects & has been in widespread use since at least the 1980s, even in the elderly without an epidemic of fatalities
