Alzheimer's helmet therapy hope

An experimental helmet is being tested by scientists as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
It delivers low levels of infra-red light, which researchers at the University of Sunderland, believe may stimulate the growth of brain cells.

Tests in mice showed it improved learning ability and a study in humans is due to begin in the summer.

Current treatments for Alzheimer's delay progression of the disease but cannot reverse memory loss.

You will look like a bit of a plank but if it works this could be really good, lets hope it works

A grandmother of my late wife has Alzheimer's, it is sad to see just what it does to you.

i hope it works TBH

I hope it works too... if it can reduce the number of plaques in between the brain cells, the signaling will work better... that is what the drugs are supposed to do, but have not been able to effectively work in humans.

It worked to completely eliminate the plaques in mice, but hopefully this helmet can do the trick. As jsdadx2 said, it is very sad to see what this disease can do to a person, and I believe the statistics are that 1 in 5 over the age of 75 will have this disease.
