Vitamin E and a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease may slow the
deterioration caused by Alzheimer's disease, researchers reported

anti-Parkinson's drug selegiline appeared to delay for six to seven
months the milestones of the disease, such as the inability to perform
basic activities of living, severe dementia and death. For the full
