Finally, someone who doesn't call this disease All Timers!
I've heard it called 'old timers' a million times by people who forgot where they put their keys somewhere etc. They are joking but I never thought it was very funny. Now that my wife has got it the humor has really gone out of it.
They should try cannabis. I think the THC in the plant (the stuff that gets you high) will have a positive effect. I know it helps with memory. Cannabis has been around forever. It has been used medicinally for centuries.
They have known for years that there is a link between diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
Might be a link between statins and Alzheimers too. Nothing is proven though.
