My grandma has advanced Alzheimer’s disease, so for my birthday this year, I’m trying to raise awareness for the cause.

There's a study that just came out wherein they found that a common drug used to treat diabetes could actually enable brains to regenerate and repair damage via dormant stem cells. One caveat is that it requires a higher level of estrogen to be present, so guys are hooped unless they lose the 'family jewels'.

Oh man, Willy, I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine what you must be going through with both parents having some form of dementia. You say early onset? My grandma is 89. Do they seem happy? Grandma was super upset in the beginning and she still has her moments but has calmed down quite a bit.

My mom seems happy enough, having regressed to a childlike state (and on meds), but my dad is far less accepting of his cognitive decline. My mom started going downhill in her late 50's, getting progressively worse til she had a psychotic break and had to be hospitalized. My dad was able to mask his deterioration til then, but went rapidly downhill shortly after. Right now they're both in one of the better government subsidized Alzheimer's facilities. I don't see them often, being nomadic and close to 300 miles away, but can really notice the progressive changes when I do.

My mom has early onset dementia, basically babbles & plays with dolls, and my dad no longer recognizes me (they're both in the same institution). Luckily, my mom still DOES recognize me, but can't effectively communicate. It's truly a terrible affliction and it's hard to see them losing parts of their selves.

any stock market gurus or exp.

I'd say to look into stocks in businesses that will weather the coming recession and prepare to sit on them for a decade or more.
