Video - U.S. Citizens in Cuba for New Breakthrough Alzheimer’s Treatment

A small but growing number of U.S. citizens are traveling to Havana for a breakthrough new treatment for Alzheimer’s, a disease that systematically destroys a person's memory, personality, and ability to function.

Studies show that, unlike all other medications available for the disease, Cuba’s NeuralCIM not only stabilizes patients, in more than half of cases it reverses many of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. Cuba approved the medication for use last year, following several years of medical trials.

Dr Bill Blanchet from Colorado has been accompanying his patients to Havana, and says the impact of NeuralCIM on many of them, in just six months, has been life-changing.

An upcoming Belly of the Beast documentary, ‘Teresita’s Dream’, tracks the research and development of NeuralCIM. It meets the Cuban scientists behind it, focusing on Dr Teresita Rodríguez, who was driven by her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s.
