This is new for me. It appears that, in a survey, anti-rejection drugs taken for organ transplants have a very good protective effect against Alzheimers compared to the general population, see bar graph first http below. This should apply to PD as well. The bad news is we have to wait forever for it.

For example, while 15.3% of the general population over the age of 75 had dementia, just over 0.6% of the study group did. |
