Quick research on Lewy Body Dementia
I did find a new clinical trial announcement at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute in LA area here – https://www.pacificneuroscienceinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/EIP-Flyer-16-Sep-19.pdf . It is double blind, but usually after the trial period they will allow all patients ot get the medication.
Also there are some great resources and you can schedule consultations online here – https://www.pacificneuroscienceinstitute.org/brain-health/conditions-treatment/dementia/lewy-body-dementia/
