    Welcome. This is nice site but as you can imagine, it’s a bit spotty with follow-up because, well, we are all forgetful. ❤️However, there is a lot of information out there but personally, I”d say do your own research. There are several exciting new drugs out there and a lot of promising research. I do not know of any alternative treatments and as its such a grisly, life-altering disease I personally stick with what is currently available. I watch my diet, weight & exercise habits & keep a journal of small changes that I notice in my own cognition. I am a long-retired RN & as such tend to put my interests into traditional medicines. Good luck & keep us posted. I'm interested in how things go for you & if you do find some new ideas for treatment.
