> Its the same story with drugs like Aricept. Alzheimers is due to plaques and tangles isn't it? Acetylcholinsterase inhibitors only offer symptomatic improvement. If thats your only option then fine, but we do know that other (proactive strategies) can actually put off Alzheimer's onset. Thats more significant.
There is a way to significantly put off dementia? Although I should only think it will provide short-term (i.e. a few years) worth of protection.
Why is that *more* significant? Is it more significant when you are finally an Alzheimer's patient? I don't understand, the dichotomy seems false. Regards,
