Feedback:
Drugs affecting the action of acetylcholinesteras e can slow the progression of Alzheimer's but they do not constitute a cure. Aluminum and mercury are implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer's but their removal does not cure the disease. Extensive research in the treatment of Alzheimer's is ongoing, but a cure is not noted to be imminent.
