My speculation, as with others, is that Alzheimer's disease (as well as many other slow progressing diseases) is just a metabolic disease, inline with the "type 3 diabetes" comments.

Look into supporting mitochondria health [0] and the glymphatic system [1]: good diet (with fasting), light to moderate exercise, sleep and wake at the same time each day for circadian rhythm training, reduce unnecessary stress.

Once the basics have been implemented, some supplements could help to further support cell function if needed: Longevity supplements that Dr David Sinclair takes [2], boosting cellular glutathione stores, with NACET, glycine, selenium [3]

there's anecdotal evidence that adding cocos-fat to the patient's diet helps them.

One nurse once told me that there's a connection between the decline and another medication - one for reflux, pantoprazol or so.

If the connection is via diabetes, a low carb/no carb diet might help - if someone else is cooking the food that should be easy. God's speed!
