No, Alzheimer's cannot be prevented. It is a progressive, degenerative, and irreversible disease. One in eight elderly have Alzheimer's, and there is no cure once you are diagnosed. This video was meant to make people more aware of the disease. This video can't provide a solution. But the work of millions- caregivers, researchers, and patients- can work towards a cure.

Thank you for all of your help and support with education, research and programs for Alzheimer's disease!

The video is about Facts and Figures and raising awareness. Awareness is one of the strongest ways to get to the end goal which is a cure/solution. Let's be positive and help spread the word about Alzheimer's disease and it's impact. The end of Alzheimer's starts with you...

Nowhere in this entire video does it mention what anyone can do to solve the problem. Being aware isn’t enough. Is there medical research being done? Can Alzheimer’s be prevented? This video isn’t helpful unless it eventually leads to a solution.

Okay Alzheimer is bad, but be honest September turn green, October pink, November still grey, and December turn purple. We all know what your purpose is. Make a lot if money and get rich, because you know that you never will win the race against Alzheimers. You want to make us believe that something that is really bad is not too bad if we face it together. You collect money save tax and other people still dying. You cannot stop what God use to make people understand that he is in control!
