		<description>Alzheimer&#039;s is caused by a defect of chromosomes 1, 7, and 21. My theory is: once modern science is more advanced, we should be able to find a way to go into surgery and manipulate these chromosomes back to their normal state. After a day or so, the affected person would come back every day for months, or weeks, or however long it takes to have this done again and again until the other chromosomes in the body adapt to this change, and find a way to manipulate chromosomes themselves. After about a month, the affected person should have less problems with forgetfulness as the repairing of these chromosomes begin to repair the damaged brain cells. The body should keep repairing itself until the Alzheimer’s disease dies off. At least, that’s my theory. (I&#039;m twelve years old)</description>

		<description>Thanks for an informative update and, I am hoping they make some progress with these latest findings &amp; trials.  Watching my Grandmother suffer with this for fiftenn years was more than heartbreaking and, motivates me to be very physically active.  Hope they find a cure soon.</description>
