Much earlier today, I posted about an interesting Phase 2 trial. It used a combination of 4 over the counter "nutritional supplements". The cost of these supplements would be around $100/month. Please note that the study is using mega doses and only lasted 7 weeks so there is NO long term safety data using these mega doses. The nice thing about the study is the very in-depth report that was released detailing MOAs and over 140 links to reference studies.

I'm in the camp that believes that AD will be controlled and possibly cured by a group of medications. So I welcome any additional approaches that can add to the cure. Hopefully a major teaching hospital will pursue this approach with a larger, longer Phase 3 trial.

Meanwhile, people popping little blue pills seem to have an edge in terms of lessening the risk of getting Alzheimer's. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/viagra-associated-reduced-risk-alzheimers-disease. So Viagra, a med that was originally tested for hypertension, then discovered to work wonders for the "little head", might actually do good things for the "big head"?
