I have never seen medical techniques patented, only devices and drugs. I have had great success with the enbrel injections but obviously wonder about threats of lawsuit from this quack whom stumbled upon a real treatment of compassionate care advanced AD.

Midwest MD

Procedure any anestheseiologist, radiologist, interventional radiologists, pain MD, etc could do. Much less technical risk than any other spine injection or procedure I perform.

I am looking for a physician in the Kansas City area who administers Enbrel injections to Alzheimer’s patients. I have talked with Dr. Tobinick who said there is a physician in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Has anyone had other information? Thanks so much.

Horrible indeed, and like you I hope for clinical trials [keeping in mind that initiation of successful trials wouldn't be followed by FDA approval for some 10 years from launch, thanks to the 1962 FDA legislation]. Dad slipped into that “black hole” in his late eighties. Mum is 87, and has manifested moderate dementia symptoms for about a decade. Fingers crossed that she doesn’t follow the same descending spiral as did Dad.

I have a younger brother (55 years old) just diagnosed with early-onset alzheimers and we are frantic, willing to try this. My mom also has it (86 years old now) and we have watched her slip away into that black hole – just horrible. Hopefully some clinical trials for this will come out soon, very soon!

No, I don’t , but just recently heard about this drug having an effect with Alzheimer’s patients. I would love to find someone that would administer it. My father is slipping away right before my eyes and it breaks my heart. He realizes he’s fading and it upsets him, understandably.
