It so happens that I work for a Clinical Research Organization. “Big Pharma” contracts out study related work to companies such as mine. When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, it hit her hard. She took a major step off the reality cliff in a short period of time. She didn’t know who I was, didn’t know that she was in her own home, and lost all of her memories from the past 30 or so years along with a severe impact on her short term memory. Remembering items from just moments ago was out of her reach. She was prescribed some medication to help with the symptoms. Once I saw the drug name, I looked it up and found that the company I work for had carried out the studies and got this drug through the FDA approval process. It didn’t cure the disease. Nothing currently cures it, but it did help her tremendously. Her short term memory is much improved and her ability to function has also vastly improved. I’m proud to be part of that “Big pharma” that you so believe pushes magic pills and would never actually cure something if they could. “Big Pharma”... hmm.. that sounds like a phrase I’d expect to hear from an Occupy protestor, not a Freeper...

What is the drug that was helpful in your mother’s case?
