Cohen: Alzheimer’s is not normal aging — and we can cure it  (script)
Summary
In 1906, Dr, Alois Alzheimer found strange plagues and tangles in the brain of the patient by an autopsy. Although 114 years passed after the discovery, treating Alzheimer's diseases don't progress.
Today, Alzheimer's disease is included in the top 10 causes of death worldwide. The patients of Alzheimer's disease are over 40 million. By 2050, it will be 150 million
Alzhemer's is not a genetic disease. It is a disease can be treated like other diseases such as cancer, HIV and etc.
However, they are not recognized and resources are also lacking. Everyone has this risk. We have to help in this problem to progress.
(In Japan, the patients of Alzheimer's disease are over 4,620,000. Over 65 years old, one seven is Alzheimer's disease.)
