Alzheimer's Disease Cure

Alzheimer's Disease Cure
Currently, there have been major scientific breakthroughs that give promise to preventing and controlling Alzheimer's disease, and perhaps eventually there will be an Alzheimer's disease cure in the future.



Alzheimer's disease is a very complex neurological disorder that most doctors who treat this condition believe that a cocktail drug similar to what is used to treat patients with AIDS could be the answer to controlling this disease.



Many scientists involved in the field of research for the treatment of this disease are receiving funding from The Alzheimer's Disease Association and have also obtained resources from various private and philanthropic companies.



Currently, research experts ascertain that a new series of treatments can evolve in to helping prevent, slowing down, or even reversing the detrimental affects of Alzheimer's disorder.



The most recent discover in the search for the Alzheimer's disease cure and control of progression has been discovered by researchers in the UK. A group of research scientists from the University Of Welsh School Of Pharmacy just finished up a study that shows how the disease process can be slowed down by the use of a small protein called Amyloid.



Amyloid is thought to be the same protein that is responsible for the disease, and could very well be the answer to controlling or slowing down the disease process of the disorder.



Researchers from UCLA have created a new brain imaging molecule that can reveal early detection of the disease by mapping out the tangles that cause the onset of cognitive interruptions and disturbances that are found in patients with Alzheimer's.



This discovery can lead to an early diagnosis of the disorder and can help in preventing, slowing down, or creating an Alzheimer's disease cure in the near future.



The drug Alzhemed has just recently been developed by a Quebec- based company that has proven to help slow down the progression of Alzheimer's and other dementia disorders. A trial of the drug will be administered within the beginning of next year.



The primary focus that researchers are working towards is to prevent Alzheimer's disease from slowly destroying neurological functioning within patients suffering from this disorder.



Today there are over twelve million people affected by the degenerating affects of Alzheimer's disease with an estimated cost of over a hundred billion dollars a year for treatment.



The research for finding an Alzheimer's disease cure has remained ongoing and is looking very promising in the future. Some of the strategies being looked into include how to maintain a healthy lifestyle as a key in preventing the onset of the disease.
