Nice article in
Alzheimer news today as well.. from late November..
It states none of the patients dropped in mental " acuity".

[ho?me-o-sta´sis]
the tendency of biological systems to maintain relatively constant conditions in the internal environment while continuously interacting with and adjusting to changes originating within or outside the system. See also balance and equilibrium. adj., adj homeostat´ic. The term is considered by some to be misleading in that the word element-stasis implies a static or fixed and unmoving state, whereas homeostasis actually involves continuous motion, adaptation, and change in response to environmental factors.

It is through homeostatic mechanisms that body temperature is kept within normal range, the osmotic pressure of the blood and its hydrogen ion concentration (pH) is kept within strict limits, nutrients are supplied to cells as needed, and waste products are removed before they accumulate and reach toxic levels of concentration. These are but a few examples of the thousands of homeostatic control systems within the body. Some of these systems operate within the cell and others operate within an aggregate of cells (organs) to control the complex interrelationships among the various organs.

Alzheimer news today"Patients’ mental acuity and ability to manage everyday tasks were evaluated at the start of the study. At the end, none of the 32 patients showed cognitive decline. Measures of daily living, depression, and brain activity were also stable during the treatment period."

There were only 27 patients still in trial at 6 months.
But think about this..
those 20 Dual Therapy patients were definitely showing cognitive declining test scores... what changed?

Man.. can not wait!

So.. now that I've given it more thought.. the claims being made at 41 weeks would be beyond improbable knowing the Combo Therapy graph decline at 6 months..
The ONLY way these claims are possible IMO are IF Combo patients switched to Monotherapy and their data shows reversed decline aka improvement!
