		<description><![CDATA[It has been found that a medical instrument known as a PIB-PET can detect amyloid-beta protein deposits. These deposits are linked with Alzheimer&#8217;s and many believe that they are the cause of Alzheimer&#8217;s. The deposits do predict who will develop the Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. The findings are the result of a survey of over 100 studies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Research has been pioneered at the University of Sunderland which shows that exposure to safe low levels of infra-red light can improve the cognitive functions of the brain. The current state of play with medical treatments for dementia is that they slow the deterioration of the brain, while this treatment could potentially reverse the effects [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new study has been published which documents an impressive improvement in Alzheimer’s disease by administering the drug Etanercept (trade name Enbrel). This follows from another study conducted in 2006 mentioned below. The study identifies the importance of cytokines in the Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. One of these cytokines called tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is implicated. It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One promising potential treatment for Alzheimer&#8217;s has been developing over the past few years. This is using a vaccine to reduce the level of beta-amyloid. Beta-amyloid is found to be in high quantities in patients with Alzheimer&#8217;s and is theorised to be the main cause of Alzheimer&#8217;s. This treatment trains the immune system to recognize [...]]]></description>
