BOSTON (CBS) – Alzheimer’s disease affects over 5 million people in this country. Many people know someone diagnosed with this disease, and have seen the devastating effects firsthand. While Alzheimer’s has no cure, medical research has been making huge strides in our understanding of the disease, as well as what we can do to treat it. Michael Curren and Dr. Rudy Tanzi, both with the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, join NightSide to talk about what we know about Alzheimer’s, what can be done to treat it, and to answer any questions you may have about this terrible disease.
