There have been lots of things that have reversed dementia - but only in mice!
When they have come to try the same thing in humans, it doesnt work.
Some researchers are beginning to think that dementia in mice and dementia in humans are caused by different things.

Id like to think this new treatment will work in humans too @Pejic , but Im not holding my breath.
