The several ways to authentically cure Alzheimer's dementia

Although drugs may slow its progression, authentic cure of AD has never been accomplished. Here, six approaches are suggested that might achieve genuine cure. The six therapies include: 1) treatments addressing levels of TGF-β and Wnt/β-catenin, that become significantly reduced after MCI transitions to AD, and addressing also the impaired epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in AD's pathogenesis; 2) and 3) are two formulations that address the inadequate counter-responses to initial loss of cognition; 4) treatments addressing the brain cells whose impaired functions result in MCI and dementia; 5) the need for using partner drugs even when a particular drug addresses a single pathogenetic cause such as amyloid deposition; 6) enhancing the likelihood of genuine cure by using combinations of approaches chosen from the foregoing. Briefly, genuine cure of AD is possible; however, since AD denotes not one but multiple, phenotypically similar conditions, no one therapy can be generalized to all cases.
