6. I suggest you search for studies done on Alzheimer's and Curcumin..

esp. since it appears to be in early stages.
I showed the research to my step-mother's doctor and she found the evidence very compelling.
However, my step-mother was very far along, and also the doctor did not do the correct dosage.
If the dosage is not high enough, nothing will happen. (see my other post about curcumin).

Also check out the research on Coconut oil and alzheimer's. very promising. When I told my stepma's dr about coconut oil, she was so impressed she started prescribing it for all her patients. (she is a geriatric physician).
Again, she failed to prescribe the right amount, so it was of no use.

I would suggest your family find a doctor who is an expert in complementary medicine (ie uses both Western and alternative) and give it a try.
can't hurt.
good luck.
