Why Is It So Hard to Find Treatment for Elsheimers?

Alsheimers is the only disease in the top ten causes of death ot the united states for which there is neither a cure, nor a means of prevention. The national institutes of health says more recent estimates indicate it should rank third, behind only cancer and heart disease because many cases are not reported correctly. We spoke by email with david lusk, founder of an issue advocacy consulting company called key advocacy. Lusk's mother died in 20 13 after following a pattern of cognitive and emotional decline that has become sadly familiar for people dealing with alsheimers.
