I have a relative that is a physician involved in Alzheimer's research, this is all he does, based on many discussions I've had with him I don't believe the story. Alzheimer's research is severely lacking in funding and the medical community does not even know what causes Alzheimer's, there are many theories but very few facts. At this point Alzheimer's can not even be diagnosed definitively until after death and the brain is biopsied. If you get an Alzheimer's diagnosis while you are alive it's a "most likely diagnosis" but not a definitive.
