Funding for Alzheimer's research should be balanced between treatment and prevention, with a potential split favoring prevention.

“the question is how would you balance that portfolio because right now that portfolio is about ninety nine to one nine eleven point nine dollars are going into treatment point one dollars going into prevention I'm asking simply what if it were ninety ten but if it were ninety dollars that go into treatment and ten dollars into prevention in reality I think if it were ten ninety we'd move the needle even more”

“Alzheimer's prevention is so underfunded it is an embarrassment to this disease state and so and I've had patients who have said to me you know a loved one just passed away and I'd like to throw $100,000 it's something for Alzheimer's research and I think to myself luckily those patients like to give that money to you because you can do more with a hundred thousand dollars in your clinic immediately one hundred thousand dollars doesn't buy you five animals to do a study on a drug that has a ninety nine point six percent chance of not working”

“is it throwing more money into the same pile that's taking the same approach to a disease that's not working or is it possibly looking to this novel idea of Alzheimer's prevention”
