some argue it may not cure alzheimer alzheimer's. we need better drugs. because because the lifestyle factors are common and could be change, we could have a big effect. if people can reduce the risk factors by a modest amount, 10% to 25% more his call activity or better hypertension control, we could see a big effect on the downstream effect of the number that develop alzheimer's. many countries conducted trials in which the factors are addressed in combination. we need to have such trials in the u.s. there's also been tremendous interest in developing more effective drugs for alzheimer's to see if these may prevent the disease. in the u.s. there are four farm lod pharmacological trials. but they don't have symptoms. these trials are critical in order to identify better treatments as early in the disease as possible. most of them target the accumulation of abnormal proteins and it may be possible to prevent or delay the disease. some experts, including myself, think that some day alzheimer's will be like chronic heart disease with several drugs that trea

a life ravaged by alzheimer's, piece by piece. there are good days and there are bad. confusion, fear and even seizures. the whole world crashed. you know, after the diagnosis, it crashed. every single thing about our life had changed in the moment from that diagnosis. alzheimer's can happen to anybody. anybody at any time. i was not prepared for that. he was such a good, honest, hard—working guy and it went from that to literally becoming institutionalised, really. you know, you become a prisoner to the illness. what has it done to you, what have you lost? i know i've got alzheimer's. but what can i do with it? what can i do? ijust can't do anything. you can smile though. yeah, i do smile. i do. and i have a laugh. it's scary, it's scary in one way but not scary for me. most days rob lives in his own world, but like so many carers, kim has to help him with every simple daily task. i think the hardest thing was losing that connection, that teamwork that you had. you lose your everyday conversations. the togetherness. you lose all
