What I'd do is print out the original article (the one with the link) and then take it to your doctor. This is a Bristish study, so it will depend greatly on how open minded your doctor is.

Carol this is wonderful news. How do you get your doctor to put you on it. Living with and caring for an alzheimers patient I am very interested in this. I have worried about getting this with all I have learned about determing factors. I had a closed head injury that puts me right up there. How do you ask your doctor for this medication. I also hve a problem with high cholesterol my body produces it and already I have high blood pressure and heart disease.
I would happily join a test group if this would help prevent this disease.
Thank you Carol for always touching on things that so many of us worry about and are afraid to comment on. Connie
