Progress. That is encouraging. Well done.

Hopefully this discovery can be used as a stepping stone to further understanding the illness and possibly design a type of vaccine that would help to slow or even prevent the degeneration. The HPV vaccine for example which will save lives.

This is such a horrible disease, and it's so encouraging to think that sometime in the near future we might be able to keep it at bay.

Suggest that you search cannabis and alzheimers at WebMD for some real promising research. Then ask your government why they are keeping it from us.
