Hopeful research

"Every 69 seconds another person develops Alzheimer's disease," Dr. Richard Besser.

ABC news presented two hopeful bits of research. In the first, a gene has been identified which may predict if a person will get Alzheimer's disease; thus making early intervention possible. The second news was the research being done on diets that help people with epilepsy. High fat diets - cream, butter, meat and no carbohydrates - has cured some people of epilepsy. What works for this brain-related condition may offer help for people with dementia. Worth following this research.
