Finding a cure for Alzheimer’s would save heartache for countless millions of victims and family members. I wonder, though, why such a cure is so elusive? An Alzheimer's victim has either acquired something or lost something along the way. You'd think with all the down-to-the-cellular-level scanning we can do these days that researchers would have already done full scans of people at, say, 50 years of age, and then after the onset of Alzheimer's. Whatever has been added or is missing in the body chemistry would be the likely culprit.

And, I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I wonder, though, why such a cure is so elusive?

I recall reading, in a article about schizophrenia, that despite our advances we still know so little about how the brain operates that doctors aren't even certain why aspirin has the effect it does. Maybe in 100 years there will be cures for both alzheimer's and schizophrenia, but today both are a mystery.

We’ve come so far in medicine that we are come nearly full circle; each inconvenience is studied, labeled and treated as a separate entity to be brought under control and returned to its former state.

Thus, we have found ourselves where our ancestors began, looking for a cure for death.
