Magic pill for Alzheimer's?

Dr. Peter Gott: More than two years ago, British scientists reported a new drug that was designed to slow Alzheimer's disease. Rember was developed to target and dissolve 'tangles' in the brain that destroy nerve cells and lead to memory deterioration. While this (and other) drugs cannot reverse the devastating effects of Alzheimer's, it appeared to stabilize it. Results suggest the drug is almost 2-1/2 times more effective than existing drugs currently on the market.
