Three points.1)The brain is 90% phospholipid. How those fats up their churn around and make the higher intellectual functions possible is not known. Unlocking the biochemical pathways of human thought is the scientific challenge of the new millennium. Yet that does not stop people from voluntarily introducing multiple toxins such as alcohol, marijuana, methamphetamines, lipid soluble prescription products and other substances that will definitely alter brain biochemistry. 2) Fewer post mortem exams of human brains are being done today than in 1960. Brains are buried and incinerated before they are studied. Neuroanatomical data is not being accumulated. 3) Sadly virtually all the current treatments for Alzheimer’s disease are ineffective.
The experts prescribe Namenda (mementine)and doneprezil .
The problem is you can't tell if medication is slowing Alzheimers down.
For those yet not affected by people in your life that have Alzheimers, watch out for the same question that you answered being asked again several times, in a short period of time. - Tom
