I read that it can't cure or reverse Alzheimer's, if you've been diagnosed with it, but it can stop it progressing. Obviously, given that is the case, the earlier it can be diagnosed.........the better. We could be seeing some amazing medical breakthroughs in the next decade.

It's good news.  Lets just hope NICE don't decide it's too expensive.
