"In all the studies that are going on, this is one of the most, if not the most promising approach to try to slow down the disease in someone who is already at the point of having moderate stages of dementia,” said Dr. Robert Stern, Director of the Alzheimer's Disease Center.
T-817MA could also help protect brain cells from destruction of Alzheimer's disease, which causes dementia, Stern added. “The changes in the brain in Alzheimer's disease begin probably 20 years prior to the first symptoms and then get worse as the disease further progresses,” the doctor said.
