Researchers unveiled new evidence that a novel Alzheimer’s drug could prove effective in treating patients with early signs of the disease – though less so in its later stages.

2. This is great news and I hope it will prove to be as good as it looks now. ♥

3. Fingers. Tossed, but dubious.

Other attempts to inhibit plaques have inhibited plaques, but did not slow progression of the disease. There is a school of thought among researchers that simply targeting plaques is a red herring.

4. That is also my concern.

I have seen no evidence of a causal link between plaques and symptoms, only correlational.

5. The problem is in the liver

I'll stake my future on clean water, greens, and seaweed in box car amounts.
