Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease as yet. All one can do is to take adequate precautions to prevent worsening of quality of life due to the memory loss and disorientation.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

How about stem-cell therapy and ozone therapy?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. No, stem-cell therapy has yet been approved for Alzheimer's disease, although research studies are in progress. Ozone therapy is being used for Alzheimer's disease; however, no study has proven its benefit so far.
