Alzheimer's is 5th leading cause of disease death in the U.S.  Alzheimer's kills 10 times more people every year in U.S. than die of the so called AIDS epidemic. (Over 228 daily) The NIH still (2012 - Estimated) spends over $3 billion + a year on AIDS research, while Alzheimer’s, with over 10 times as many victims, receives a mere $498 million. Alzheimer's annual mortality Rates increased 50% in 10 years.  (18.0 to 27.0) No's  increased  54.6% in 10 years. (+ 29,456) to reach a total of 83,308 deaths in 2010 . There are 450,000 new cases a year. Over 1,200 daily!  Year 2050 projections =  1,000,000 cases. There are 36.7 + million cases world wide. The disease is raging out of control with inadequate funding. - Contact the President and your Congressman!
