Comments on: Early Stages of Alzheimer’s – New Hope for Treatment On The Horizon http://mychannelnews.info/alzheimers/early-stages-of-alzheimers-new-hope-for-treatment-on-the-horizon/ Latest Channel News Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:04:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ginny Smith http://mychannelnews.info/alzheimers/early-stages-of-alzheimers-new-hope-for-treatment-on-the-horizon/comment-page-1/#comment-1187 Ginny Smith Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:29:46 +0000 http://mychannelnews.info/?p=1158#comment-1187 Ditto, the research. I want to be involved. Alzheimer's was rampant in my mother's family. What needs to be understood is that in many cases, Alzheimer's victims may need memory care for 8 to 10 years or more. At a time when our country is struggling with how to afford budget committments, this is a huge drag on the Medicaid program. This issue begs help both in terms of compassion for the patients and families, and government money management. This treatment can't come soon enough. Thank You. Ditto, the research.

My grandmother was a victim of Alzheimer's disease. My father is currently falling prey to the disease. I would LOVE to see a treatment that would benefit him before it is too late. I also feel my memory growing dimmer as I age. I desperately want to keep working and remain vital into my old age, since I am only 51. I would love to be informed of any research opportunities available. Thanks. I, too, am interested in participating in this research. My grandmother was a victim of Alzheimer’s disease.

My mother was the most recent one to die from this ugly disease. Her father and her brother also died from Alzheimers. I feel the effects of aging on my brain in that my brain feels.....isn't sharp anymore. I am interested and would be willing to participate in research programs that will be conducted in the near future. Since I am a baby boomer, I feel that time is crucial if I am going to have a chance at growing old and maintaining an active brain and lifestyle. You may contact me at my email address. Thank you.

Alzheimers is rampant in my family and my father is the latest victim. With the baby boomers now reaching their 60's and facing this dreaded disease, what is going to help them? Where are they going to go for help and care? This research is vitally important! A cure must be found!! This treatment cannot come soon enough.
