etanercept was being talked about last year as possilble cure
I have skimmed over many articles ramping up the new drug Etanercept than some claim can alleviate many AD symptoms in 10 minutes or so. So my question is why isn't this drug being taken more seriously? I mean I haven't found many articles since Jan of 2008, but have found many in that time period. Why isn't this being talked about? Are there clinical trials underway? Pasted below two of many articles from Jan of last year.

fish oil
Latest research shows that fish oil which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids is used to treat Alzheimer's disease. DHA and EPA, the two main fatty acids in fish oil aid in this direction.
