As more and more about Alzheimers is discovered, we may know why it happens and to whom it may happen and what, if anything, can be done to forestall or prevent the disease from manifesting.
A lot of research has already been done concerning the effects of lifestyle choices. But it seems to me that most people are ignoring that research. Will a magic pill come along to disolve the plaque or keep it from forming in the first place? I highly doubt it. And I think many who are encouraged to wait for it are going to be sadly out of luck.
