Media reports this week have tried to skew studies of ginko biloba, saying it is not effective....yet a recent study in Germany, which reviewed several years' worth of studies on ginko, found the opposite, and that in fact, ginko was "as effective as the drugs being marketed for cognitive decline".

Now, that may be saying the same thing: NEITHER are really effective, but let's not lie to folk and try to tell them the dementia drugs work. Like everyone here, I do a lot of research and have yet to read anyone for whom the dementia drugs have really worked.

I have, however, read remarkable reviews of Enbrel, where they inject it into the neck and the Alz. patient has improved, usually within minutes to an hour!...there are threads already here about this. But Enbrel (an anti-inflammatory, if I am not mistaken) is already out there, not new, so next to nothing is reported about these patients. I think this drug also goes by the name Entanercept, or something like that.
