WOW!!!!!!!!! Historic NY Mar 2017 #2

Please make it so. sheshe2 Mar 2017 #3

I'm so sorry sheshe. I haven't had a close famiy member with it, but Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #5

The last time I saw my mom, she knew who I was when I was in front of her, Stonepounder Mar 2017 #17

I got a call. sheshe2 Mar 2017 #20

Heartbreaking. Sorry you had to go through this. JudyM Mar 2017 #26

I wish you and your sister sheshe2 Mar 2017 #44

Thanks! peggysue2 Mar 2017 #52

Biogen is the company doing this. Merck and Lilly's Alzheimers drug disappointed last still_one Mar 2017 #4

Not a cure Bayard Mar 2017 #7

Yes. Think the last drug that eliminated the plaque actually made people worse. Laura PourMeADrink Mar 2017 #8

I guess technically it wouldn't be a "cure." It does remove the amyloid plaques. Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #9

Sounds very promising! Hoping for the best. MontanaMama Mar 2017 #10

I have a friend with early onset Alzheimer's. She's 51, and in the year or so that I've known her, PoindexterOglethorpe Mar 2017 #11

I hope you will pass along the information/link to the clinical trials Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #12

It is probably much too late for my friend to participate PoindexterOglethorpe Mar 2017 #13

If she is still able to walk and talk she may well qualify. Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #14

Perhaps. But I am not a close enough friend to suggest this. PoindexterOglethorpe Mar 2017 #16

What suggesting? Doesn't have to be a big deal, just passing on information. Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #23

I did click on the link you posted, PoindexterOglethorpe Mar 2017 #42

Well, that's too bad. I'm sorry it couldn't help your friend. It's just a very sad thing. Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #47

So what is going to be the ridiculously un-affordable price for this drug. n/t. airplaneman Mar 2017 #15

Please do not do this on this thread. sheshe2 Mar 2017 #22

Amen. brer cat Mar 2017 #24

Nice to hear good news for a change. oasis Mar 2017 #21

Good news always welcome! brer cat Mar 2017 #25

Little known fact: Marijuana also seems to remove amyloid plaque. JudyM Mar 2017 #27

While that does seem promising, it's not accurate to say MJ removes amyloid plaque in humans Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #28

LOL I threw Extract in there because it's a user-friendly writeup, not for its gravitas. JudyM Mar 2017 #29

The very nice thing about the info from the study you posted on MCO is it could be helpful Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #30

Right, it's showing promise for other conditions, as well, like arthritis, and general pain. JudyM Mar 2017 #32

Hope it can be used just like statins. Hoyt Mar 2017 #31

This is facinating and very heartening! ismnotwasm Mar 2017 #33

Science strikes again. BSdetect Mar 2017 #34

Yup. Science and those damned scientific researchers. Evil to the core Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #38

Will it cost $10,000 a month, could be without any control of Big Pharma it's all about max profits? FreeStateDemocrat Mar 2017 #35

You know, I'm going to refer you to sheshe's post and ask you. Please don't do this on this thread. Maru Kitteh Mar 2017 #36

Evidence also supports L-Serine as a cheaper cure, with no side effects mainer Mar 2017 #39
