My wife has Alzheimer's disease, so I'm pretty aware of the dementias and how they work. And there are no cures for any of them. Nor is there surefire prevention, particularly as some have genetic components.
With funding of research, I'm hoping in a couple of generations they'll speak of dementias as we speak of poliomyelitis today - few know it or of it, it's largely in our past.,
Thanks so much, JDiver. I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. The Walk for Alzheimer's last year was eye-opening. I was shocked at how many younger people are afflucted with dementia and Alzheimer's. my mom wasn't that old when she was affected and when she started having incredible delusions, dementia was the last thing i suspected as a diagnosis. The more I learn, the more passionate I become that research has to be stepped up big time!
