ABSTRACT
Currently 5 million Americans suffer from AD. Many of the 78 million baby boomers in the United States have concerns about developing memory loss and AD. With the aging population, AD has become a concern not only in the United States, but also all across the world. By the year 2050, the number of patients with AD will be five times higher than it is now; approximately 106 million will suffer from it. As the number of elderly who live into their 80s and 90s increases, the resources for caring for patients with dementia diminishes. The growing epidemic of AD poses a major public health challenge in the world, and may be considered like a slow-growing tsunami, with the potential to destroy many health care systems. In the meantime, governments and individuals are seeking natural and safe remedies to ward off dementia.
