Yep, around $6,000 per PET scan noted in article.
I watched two people I cared about suffer with Alzheimer’s...my grandmother and my brother in law.
It’s really bad.
Considering the fact that there is not a whole lot one can do about it, if you have active Alzheimers, I don’t know if I would want such a report or not. Best to have adequate health insurance if you can afford it. The kind that will help pay for Home Care assistance.

“plus or minus several years”
Well, that certainly narrows it down.
Just tell Brandon he’s going to a Blues game.
while there were always a few dementia cases in every generation,
it really appears that this condition has become very greatly more widespread in the last several years
initially, there was some thinking that the widespread introduction of aluminum cans and cooking utensils was involved
right or wrong on that, my bet is that there IS something new in the environment of daily living (or eating) that is boosting the dementia rate (of course, it could be a new infectious agent ... whether natural or manufactured in some unknown lab?)
just a thought. this large increase in dementia seems as if it must have a cause
Diagnosis is a start but not a solution.
Alzheimer’s is an absolute bitch.
The protege of the man who found bacteria causes ulcers found bacteria in Alzheimer’s plaques.
Now consider that stress makes the blood brain barrier permeable.
