• We've had numerous people diagnosed with Alzheimer's who got better; they just come out of it; they are leading normal lives today.

They say, well, it was probably just a temporary premature dementia, and they write-off the recovery to preserve their ignorance.

• I do know people and there are people in my family who have had Alzheimer's and dementia, and I appreciate the importance of communication and having contact with them.
