Experiences with Scientologists and medical treatments

HG, your dad was too far gone for Aricept when they offered it. It works best when the symptoms just start to appear - then it staves off severe progression for up to a year - but it does not prevent progression in the long run. The problem is that many elderly brush off the first signs until it is too late to use the med effectively.
