LARRY KING PRESENTS "UNTHINKABLE: THE ALZHEIMERS EPIDEMIC" ON CNN SUNDAY 8:00 P.M. ET.




As many know, we are victims by association of this terrible disease. Of the major diseases we face-this is the only one that is so terribly on-the-rise. As our "Baby Boomer" population sees their bodies hold out longer, we are realizing how fragile their long-term cognitive functioning can be. Among the big names touched by the disease, and appearing to spread wisdom and support are: Ron Reagan, Maria Shriver, Seth Rogan, Terrell Owens and Laura Bush. Among the topics covered are new screens to see if one has the gene that predisposes them to Alzheimers-the dilemma being would you want to know now given there is no cure?



It may not be a program that gives one 'warm fuzzies,' but it may be one of those things you might want to pay attention to for the future. In a matter of just a couple years, if this horror hasn't touched you directly, it will effect the person to your left or right, or, tragically, maybe both. Hope. Love. Cure.
