Possibly

This is very good to hear. But I have an understanding that the plaques are not always associated with Alzheimer's.

Terrible movie compared to the novella. It changed the whole premise and meaning of the book and title.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

This looks like , if it holds up more complicated brains, good symptomatic relief. I would not call it a cure, but it will at least hold a lot of the ravages against the brain at bay.

Today, it's a cure for whatever. Tomorrow, we're all zombies.

I took care of both of my parents for the last couple years of their lives. My mom had Alzheimer's and watching what it did to her and Dad was awful. He passed away 4 months after she did and I cannot say I was sorry when they were gone. I miss them, but I celebrate that they had 69 years of love and marriage.
I lost them both in 2012. Every time I have trouble remembering things, like scientific names, I wonder if it is the early stages. I would volunteer to take the treatment in a second. I am a cancer survivor, but I can say without any hesitation that I would rather die from cancer than dementia.

Every time I have trouble remembering things, like scientific names, I wonder if it is the early stages. I know exactly how you feel. We lost Mom in early 2012 after years of descent into dementia. Dad had been caregiver 24/7 for all that time, and he was lost after she passed. He died a couple months later. They used to hold hands and sing old songs.

That would be such a relief to me. Both my parents have recently been diagnosed with the early stages of that dreadful disease.
It wasn't really a shock to me (all the signs are there and they are at different stages), but I really, really don't know how to cope with it. I'm loosing both my parents. Physically, mentally and the finances involved to get them looked after. It's mind boggling.

Sad to hear that. I think the worst part is that it is so slow but so unstoppable ...
Hope this technique is available in time to help. In the meantime sing or play music and dance, enjoy the time you have. <3by our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

While this certainly won't stop the progression of the disease, the use of music might make the time you have with them less painful. Supposedly, music activates different parts of the brain, and stimulates them, and might 'bring them back' for a short period of time.
