Alzheimer's Research!!

This thread is in the humour section because thats what it was intended for. Really, some folk really do want to get some sense of fun injected into them. I, like Terpe took it as humour. Terpe lost his Mum and I lost an ex father in law to this condition. The later had it from 42yo and died aged 76. He was a keen life long cyclist a moderate drinker. I believe, if its in your genes you are doomed. Thats it. Yes, like Doc Alan said, good all round living will help but, you can say that about any illness. Some how my ex father in law knew he was going to suffer the same fate as his mother and grand mother from an early age. How scary is that.

I had a problem with this thread because other members wanted a serious response. Should I ignore them, try (as always) to help, or add to the humour ? On a forum with 500 or so active members it's impossible to keep everyone happy ! Maybe the answer is to put me on your "ignore" list.
However, for those who do look for advice, the role of genes and Alzheimer's is NOT understood, nor is its cause. Until we do understand the cause(s), "good all round living" (as you put it) is the best way to reduce your chances of getting it . Read more on the links provided
