They can test for it some how, they confirmed the diagnosis in my grand-pa earlier this year, and my great-grandpa had a severe case of it.
Any doctor who claims he can do this...
Take his diagnosis as little more than an educated guess based on a holistic analysis of symptoms. There are no tests for alzheimers. There are tests that can rule out other conditions with alzheimers like symptoms that may leave it as the only thing left but the only sure way to diagnose alzheimers is after death with an autopsy of the brain.
Brain ischemia, for example, has symptoms almost identical to alzheimers. Ischemia can be diagnosed accurately with an MRI. Ischemia can be controlled, maybe even reversed with proper diet and medication. Alzheimers cannot, though there are medications which can slow the onset.
