A revolutionary drug that could stop people from ever developing Alzheimer’s disease has been unveiled by scientists.
Trials have produced ‘unprecedented’ results and the medicine has been hailed as a potential game-changer in the fight against the cruel disease.
In future, healthy pensioners could be prescribed the drug to ward off dementia, in much the same way as statins are given today to those at risk of heart attacks.
One British expert described the drug, which is about to be tested in hospitals around the UK, as the best yet, others called it ‘ingenious’ work with ‘tantalising’ results.
And a US doctor hailed it as the best news in his 25-year career.

I read about this before and was going to make a thread, but I forgot.

I heard about this on the news earlier,, I'm hoping it has some good results in the near future, cause it would solve a huge problem for those that are suffering from it.

By chance do you have a link?
That would be amazing if Alzheimer's could be prevented. My grandmother died from it, my grandfather too and now my other grandmother is going through the diagnostic process. Per her physician, most likely she has it, we find out this week. It's a horrible disease, for those that have it and the loved ones of the sufferer.
I fear getting it, really bad.
