Here is a South Australian news story that might give some of us hope - for our own decline, if not for the people who now suffer dementia.

I did a bit of googling last night and discovered there is more than one vaccine going through trials, and some of the articles were dated a few years ago.... I couldn't find any updates on the older ones though so I'm left to wonder how they are progressing and what roadblocks have been encountered.

The only one I’ve heard about being in actual use here is limited to early dementia and slows its progression. I’m not surprised that there are more in the pipeline. It’s often just luck if you hear/ read about these things, which is why I posted it. For all our sakes, I really hope that they find something soon. Yours, Margaret

Hemp oil is CBD. There are claims but none have been studied to show that is actually change anything. The FDA is working on it. You know how that goes, it could take years.
