The BAPtists (Beta Amyloid Plaques) are obviously wrong.
The Taoists (Tau Tangles) are probably also wrong.
I'm Agnostic. We don't have a clue as to what is wrong with my mother.

Roche, the pharmaceutical company, on Wednesday reported mixed results in its latest trial of an Alzheimer’s drug. It said that while the drug did not slow progression of the disease over all, at the highest doses it did seem to delay a decline in mental ability in patients with mild cases of Alzheimer’s.
The results of a clinical trial of the drug, crenezumab, were presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Copenhagen.
The study is the latest test of the so-called amyloid hypothesis — a theory that a buildup in the brain of a protein called beta amyloid is responsible for dementia in Alzheimer’s patients.
It's worse than that. Five died during the study. All were in the group that got the Crenezumab and none who got the placebo.
