Wouldn't it be wonderful if that disease could be mostly eradicated just by improving oxygen intake?

getting enough oxygen to the brain may help stave off Alzheimer’s in people with known risk factors

Drugs called vasodilators, which enlarge the blood vessels, may help to increase the flow of oxygenated blood to the brain

Great to get some good news regarding Alzheimer's!
