Hi Henry, thanks.

 

Although the afflicted family member has perished, I still follow the progress.  There seems to be a growing consensus in the AD community that Alzheimer’s might be an immune system disorder.  The camp that is attacking the beta amyloids directly is gradually diminishing, as the mainstream comes to accept that B-Ams are the symptom rather than the cause.

 

Thanks for the links!
