Alzhei... who?: Demystifying The Disease And What You Can Do About It

It is clear that our approach to identifying the root cause of Alzheimers disease and curing it has not been successful so far despite decades of research billions of dollars spent worldwide 244 experimental drugs developed and many clinical trials that have failed. What is happening? Have we got the cause of Alzheimers all wrong? I believe so! Instead of remaining focused on the primary endpoint of a cure the emphasis had shifted to surrogate endpoints that had not been clinically demonstrated to correlate well with the disease. In this book I identify the root cause of the disease and attempt to reorient our approach along a path that I am convinced will be more successful in leading us to a cure. I will provide the outlines of this new approach and even suggest the methodology to be followed. At the same time I am also hoping to be able to co-opt the support I need from the general public particularly those already afflicted by the disease or fearing they might succumb to it as well as their families friends and caregivers. For them I will also try to demystify the disease and describe ways they can do something about it in addition to seeking medical treatment.
