>>>ratio for men vs. women>>>>
I think it is much greater for men, but I CAN't remember.
Seriously, I have been reading up on the subject recently because of personal family reasons and it is worse on the family members than for the individual suffering from this devastating affliction. In my case, I'm nearly a thousand miles away from my Mother (Andy, I don't call this wonderful lady Momma(:>))and my two brothers and sisters have to experience the slow and dehumnanizing process on a daily basis.

I apologize for sharing my personal problems but please be advised for all of you out there with elderly parents. Don't wait until it is too late to prepare for this malady because of the medical issues and believe it or not, the legal issues. If you have an inkling of this condition affecting your parents, please note that you have a waiting period of three years to remove assets from their estate or if not, you will have to deplete them to pay for nursing care expenses and the only thing that you can protect is the homestead and limited amount of acreage that is adjacent to the homestead.

Elderly people deserve better than to have to suffer from such diseases as Alzheimer's. We all should hope that LGND or any company for that matter, to have the earliest success as possible in finding a cure for this disease. Of all things, it appears that the all purpose Vitamin E can slow down the process but regretably now prevent the ultimate.

LGND back on the upward movement now that mutual funds have cleared their books by the October 31st date. I don't mind those capital gain distributions.
