Pills fail to work on Alzheimer's patients

Omega-3 pills promoted as boosting memory didn't slow mental and physical decline in older patients with Alzheimer's disease, a big disappointment in a multimillion-dollar government-funded study. The results with pills containing DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, highlight "the continued frustration over lack of effective interventions" for the memory-robbing disease, an editorial said, published with the study in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association. DHA occurs naturally in the brain and is found in reduced amounts in people with Alzheimer's disease. Some smaller, less rigorous studies suggested that mental decline could be slowed or prevented by eating fish, the main dietary source for omega-3 fatty acids, or supplements like fish oil pills that contain fatty acids including DHA. The study used capsules of DHA oil derived from algae.Results were similar in both groups; DHA provided no benefits in slowing Alzheimer's symptoms. The pills also didn't work even in a subgroup of participants with the mildest Alzheimer's symptoms.
It doesn't surprise me that the pills didn't work against Alzheimer's. Now and days, the government will just put any kind of medicines or "cures" out , just because they think it causes other illness , it will cure all - which isn't true at all. I think they should do more research and make sure that the cureness will actually cure the illness before releasing it to the public.
