Thanks for this article. My mother-in-law suffers from Alzheimers. However, it would probably take an act of Congress to get her stupid GP to try anything like this. A few weeks ago he took her off her Alzheimers meds, some kind of “trial and error” thing. She immediately began to get worse. She’s back on the medication now, but, to me, this would definitely be worth trying. Her GP is an idiot. And believe me - we’ve tried to get both she and my father-in-law to change doctors, but to no avail.

Same here, with my in-laws. Dad has Alzheimers. They like their GP and continue to go to him although he does nothing pro-active to help the situation. They LIKE him. He’s NICE. He smiles, says, “uh huh”, takes their money, and they go away until next month. Then they do it all over again. We can’t change their minds.
