Startling statistics on dementias such as Alzheimer's were just released in The 2010 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures Report. See highlights and view the actual report.
I have a husband who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a couple of years ago. We have aggressively pursued treatment through a specialist and through information learned on internet sites. He is presently on the Exelon Patch and takes Namenda, plus a pill with ginkgo. He seems better since we have started these two medications, after having previously tried Aricept and Axona, which had side effects for him.
My question to you is how does a drink (most of the time large) of whiskey effect an Alzheimer's patient?
