As a scientist (not studying Alzheimer's or any other neurodegenerative diseases) and son of a parent with Alzheimer's, I find myself compelled to remind all tax payers and voters that our past collective funding of federal gov't agencies like the NIH, NSF, etc., has been instrumental to our enjoying increased health and economic benefits throughout our lives. Sequestration, budget cuts and the recent downward trends in the federal investment in scientific research have had a detrimental effect on the American research enterprise. In as much as it would be a good thing for people to support organizations specifically focused upon curing/preventing Alzheimer's, such endeavors aren't anywhere near sufficient to find a cure. We need the continued additional research power of more scientists funded by NIH grants to help confront the growing list of problems we will face as our planet's population continues to grow and age - which includes Alzheimer's.
There are presently some in our US Congress who are so short-sighted as they would gladly continue to cut the NIH budget in the name of eliminating our country's deficit, but doing so at the current rate of de-funding will certainly spell doom for our country's leadership in scientific innovation. So, of the 7 items listed above that you can do to stop Alzheimer's, the best one you can start with IMHO is to make sure your U.S. Congressman/woman and Senators are not supportive of any more cuts to the NIH budget - and encourage them to increase NIH's budget if we want to have any fighting chance of taking on the many diseases now afflicting the human race. If they seem reticent about doing so - vote 'em out!

Thank you, Robert! I agree with you. We're actually working on another infographic specifically about importance of research spending and government funding. We should have it finished in the next couple weeks.

Would the "government funded" research be willing to delve more into environmental factors that may be contributing to this disease (insecticide exposure, chemical exposure, food preservatives and additives, etc.) or will the corporate lobbyists control exposing any of those issues?
