An experimental Alzheimer’s drug has been shown to slow significantly the cognitive and functional decline linked to the disease in results hailed as “remarkable” by experts, despite some patients experiencing serious side effects.
United States pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly announced on Wednesday that in a late-stage trial of nearly 1,200 people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, the drug, donanemab, slowed the progression of symptoms by 35 percent over a period of 18 months compared with a placebo.

Medical cannabis, CBD is one of the best medicine just don’t be silent about it.

This is bullshit propaganda from Big Pharma. They have yet to produce any safe drug that does more than a short, minor blip in cognition. But the price certainly doesn’t reflect that.
You’ll be better, but the cost will leave you homeless.
That only happens in America.
And then you’ll chose to just forget about everything…
At least you’d be AWARE that you’re homeless. Wait, maybe not a good thing. Never mind. 😂
Awesome 🎉
From Eli Lily? This breakthrough means nothing then. If only one company can legally produce it, and that company already charges extortionate amounts for insulin, then they’ll just charge extortionate amounts to alzheimers patients too. This is a reminder that all medicine should be patent free, and free for all to manufacture. Eli Lily makes medicine worse.
What a lie ….
Cheaper alternative mct oil and coconut oil. Dr. Mary newport.
Drug companies are out there to fleece the baby boomers.
Justice watches over path of the innocent,
but impiety leads the sinner to fall.
That is a falsehood.
