Can Vitamin E Help Slow the Progress of Alzheimer's?

In the January 1, 2014, publication of JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association),  a group of doctors researched the efficacy of Vitamin E and Memantine on functional decline in Alzheimer's.  The results were very interesting and, I think, hopeful.

The findings showed that those with mild to moderate AZ showed a slower functional decline than those taking memantine or even from memantine in combination with the vitamin E.  The amount of tocopherol given in this study was 2,000 IU per day.  I don't know the source of the E, but it is always wise to get the naturally occurring, vegetable source rather than the laboratory-concocted source of d-alpha tocopherol.
