0:00.0	I think that this idea that reversing Alzheimer's is controversial, I think that that's going to be very short-lived.
0:05.3	We get these cognitive measurements that people are significantly improving.
0:10.8	Plus, we get to see them and we get to hear. I got my husband back. I got my mom back.
0:14.9	She's having regular conversations again. She's able to dress herself again.
