And this is not for lack of trying. Government organizations, neuroscientists, giant pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology experts, you name it, have been researching it. For decades, they have worked hard at inventing drugs, or at least finding an effective treatment. Yet, their efforts have been largely fruitless, with 99.6% of tested drugs not going beyond the testing phase. The 0.4% that do, according to the Alzheimer's association, only reduce symptoms like memory loss and confusion for a limited time. Between 2000 and 2010, 244 Alzheimer's drugs were tested but only Memantine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
