“I feel like I have been hearing about ‘plaques’ and
‘tangles’ for 15 years. Isn’t there anything new that would generate hope and excitement for people living with this horrible disease? All you hear is the negative. You can’t help but develop a sense of
helplessness. Helplessness can be paralyzing.”
Family caregiver quote

"If you say Alzheimer's, everyone immediately thinks
that it's the plaques that actually cause the disease. That couldn't
be further from the truth…the data actually suggests these plaques are a form of
protection that the body tries to put on.”
Andrew Dillin, of the Salk Institute in California and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute
“While research on AD has made
steady progress, there are no pharmacological or other interventions to definitively prevent,
treat, or cure the disease.” National Alzheimer’s
