Under Breaking News on the home page - www.thealzheimerspouse.com - I have posted the link to a new article by Sandra Day O'Connor and two others. It is excellent, and I encourage everyone to read it. I wish she would speak more often and be more visible.
"Experience has taught us that we cannot avoid Alzheimer’s disease by having regular medical checkups, by being involved in nourishing relationships or by going to the gym or filling in crossword puzzles. Ronald Reagan suffered the ravages of this disease for a decade despite the support of his loving family, the extraordinary stimulation of his work, his access to the best medical care and his high level of physical fitness. What’s needed are new medicines that attack the causes of the disease directly."
>>> I wish someone would show this to the idiots who publish articles on a daily basis, touting this way or that way of "preventing Alzheimer's!"
"The National Institutes of Health still spend about $3 billion a year on AIDS research, while Alzheimer’s, with five times as many victims, receives a mere $469 million. "
