Hope in Uncertain Times: New Alzheimer's Treatment Looks Promising.

A new study shows a treatment might help delay Alzheimer's. This is for people who are likely to get it early because of their genes. The study is facing funding problems from the government.

The study's early results are the first of their kind. People in the study worry that politics could stop them from getting the treatment. One person in the study says it has given him more life than he expected.

The study involves families with rare genes that cause Alzheimer's. These genes make people get the disease at the same age as their relatives. This helps scientists see if the treatments are working.

The study found that removing amyloid, a brain substance, early can delay symptoms. Amyloid removal cut the risk of getting symptoms in half. Scientists are now using a new drug to see how strong the protection is.

Scientists are worried that funding delays could stop the study. They also worry that the government might stop funding amyloid research. People in the study are asking for help to keep the funding going.
