ALZHEIMER'S : SEARCHING FOR A CURE

Almost 4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease — a brain disorder that occurs gradually and affects people as they get older. This debilitating disease causes memory loss, changes in personality and behavior, a decline in thinking abilities, and even loss of speech and movement. Although there is no cure for Alzheimer's, there are prescription drugs available that treat some of these symptoms. Use Alzheimer's: Searching for a Cure from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to learn more about these drugs and the research being done to delay or slow the progression of Alzheimer's. For your free copy, call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO, that's 1 (888) 878-3256 and ask for Item 641L.
