possible to design drugs that work early in the disease process, to delay the 
start of symptoms. Over the past decade, researchers have been testing a number 
of such "disease-modifying" drugs that target the earliest biological changes in 
Alzheimer's, reports the October 2007 issue of the Harvard Mental Health 
Letter.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;None of the disease-modifying drugs now in development will cure 
Alzheimer's. But a number of them are currently in phase III clinical trials, 
the last stage before the FDA will consider approving the drugs for sale. Media 
interest has already begun to intensify. In June, for example, the AARP Bulletin 
trumpeted on its cover: "Finally, new drugs offer real hope for reversing the 
disease."&lt;BR&gt;</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C7E848FE-82AC-4C31-A4E1-365E7FF642B5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
