Prevention is ideal but for many with the disease the best option seems to be cell therapy which can carry neurotrophins to the brain like a healthy brain without dementia would do.
A clinical trial showed that neurotrophins support the growth and survival of neurons which could help some patients who have been diagnosed more here.. http://stemcellthailand.org/treat-alzheimers-dementia/
The other promising option that has shown a lot of potential using iPSC to grow neurons using skin cells from AD patients and reprogramming them to make iPS cells.
