I found out yesterday that with a simple swab of the cheek of my loved ones the Dr. could tell tell them what meds would work to help them. AND, Medicare will pay for the test. However, the Dr.s hands are tied by bureaucrat nonsense because the drug companies will not get the money by trying all kinds of drugs on our loved ones.
My mother and her sisters all are suffering with Alzheimer's. We as their families suffer lovingly along side of them. When a simple, painless test could help so much. I want it to stop!! But don't even know how to start and I need to do it with very little money. Can you help me?
My branding company has worked with mostly med/tech clients for the past 36 years. If people only knew how difficult, time-consuming and expensive it is to get approval by the FDA to bring a new medicine or device to the market, it would blow them away (hint: hundreds of millions of dollars for a single product). This is to protect the people (like you) from charlatans peddling unproven, unsafe and unethical treatments (most of which are found in Big Supplement industry). I'm so sorry for your sufferings caused by ALZ. I'm praying for a cure as I creep up there in years. Blessings!
Who is telling you that the doc's hands are tied?

But, I am sorry I got so upset and posted so fast. I need to do some research. But when he said his hands were tied, I lost my head.
Thank you for understanding.
We have been given 2 weeks to find something to help, then we may have to find somewhere different for one of them. Moving sick and elderly is so hard on them. This will be the third time in 3 months. I am so sad to her.
For example, on my medical DNA, I found all those prescription meds for acid relux will not work, so don't bother prescribing them for me, I will use Tums instead.
As for bureaucrat nonsense when it comes to new drugs coming down the pike, it can take years of trial testing before FDA will approve a new drug. Doctors need to use what is currently available to help with various symptoms. Sadly there are no drugs to treat Alzheimer's at this point in time.
