Maybe Alzheimer’s Disease Is on the Way Out!

For those of us who've had families hurt by the evil monster of Alzheimer's, perhaps there's another glimpse of hope in a recent study just releases which you can read about here.

If you have suffered the slow loss of a husband, wife, grandparent, or whomever, as their minds begin to dim, then paranoia and fright set it, you have to rejoice at any such hopeful news. Both my father-in-law and my mother-in-law suffered through this for months before they died. My good wife and her sister were devastated as they looked helplessly on.

My beef would be this: How much is the government doing to combat this horrible thing? Are we giving enough priority to funding for research -- or is there less glamour attached to Alzheimer's than some other diseases which grab more headlines, more public sympathy, more celebrity support -- hence, more money?

God willing and the money not running dry, maybe we will lick this brutal destroyer of families.

Come on, Mr. President and Congress, get behind this stuff.

But, hey, what do I know? I'm just a guy who reads the papers.
