Can we reverse Alzheimer's disease? Experts suggest 'new paradigm' for combating dementia

Fox News correspondent Jonathan Serrie has the latest on the ultrasound and antibodies treatment developed by West Virginia University researchers on'America Reports.' With more people dying from Alzheimer's disease than ever before, experts are emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention. The number of fatalities due to the disease increased by 141% between 2000 and 2021, according to the 2024 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report. Also, the number of Americans living with the disease is on the rise as well -- up to 6.9 million and counting. "As older adults -- mostly baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 -- are the fastest-growing segment of the population, and this same demographic is at the highest risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, it is not entirely surprising that the number of cases continues to grow," Dr. James Galvin, chief of cognitive neurology and director of the Comprehensive Center for Brain Health at The University of Miami Health System, told Fox News Digital.
