Is there anything more unapproved than an irreversible disease that destroys your mind in the space of a few years? It&amp;#x27;s not like cancer, from which you might be cured, or at least with which you can have a meaningful life until your eventual death. It is a slow motion process of erasure that is well on its way at the moment of the first diagnosis. Taking the wrong medicine could shorten your brain&amp;#x27;s life of how much, a year perhaps? Still worth trying.</text><parent_chain><item><author>carbocation</author><text>It&amp;#x27;s amazing to me that people are willing to experiment with an unapproved chemical that provides no proven benefit in humans, yet aren&amp;#x27;t willing to use human-proven therapies with known benefits such as statins.</text></item><item><author>wrong_internet</author><text>Pretty sure Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s isn&amp;#x27;t good for you, either.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d take any health risks over dementia, personally, and I&amp;#x27;m sure most would, too.
