In the meantime, I suggest you have yourself chelated

My current concern is with the aluminium in antacid tablets, of which
I've consumed more than my share over the years. Saw something
recently to the effect that fish oil (not cod liver apparently) can
counteract this, but I fear it's too late for me (Arnie no doubt will
be nodding wisely at this point). What are the first signs of
Alzheimer's anyway, other than posting prattle to newsgroups? They say
if you think you've got it you haven't, but if your family thinks you
have, you probably have.

You obviously don't have it.
Some studies have claimed the ability to detect "mild cognitive
impairment",
or hidden deficits, well in advance of a clinical presentation.

Maybe I should have asked Arnie this question in order to get the bad
news first. :-)

If you could get off the antacid, it might be worth investigating
chelation
therapy.

You seem to be "into" this, Robert. Care to explain?

Only in the sense that I have pursued "antiaging" strategies for years. Some
of these tactics involve the taking of certain supplements. Read the book
"Life Extension". See http://www.lef.org/.
However, be aware that there is little evidence that these strategies
actually work. Ludovic could give me a very good argument here
Obesity in middle age is now strongly tied to Alzheimers. Staying fit and
thin is the only proven strategy for avoidance of chronic disease.
