nicotine would be a inconvenient way, because it has a short half life, but it improves, i did read on search engines and articles, it actually is a adequate treatment because it keeps the brain active.
You may want to consider a nicotine patch, you buy them at the stores, they deliver a continuous small amount of nicotine to the individuel. The main treatment is to help people get off ciggerettes, but these articles are saying using a nicotine patch in dementia acutally did treat, mild cognitive impairment. Google, nicotine and dementia.
But ... that's just my suggestion, sometimes people get irrtible on nicotine and too much nicotine is definitely unpleasant. It hits nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which slow down dementia related symptoms. Google it, or use any search engine. But the only is nicotine is addictive, but if it was used in patch form, instead of a cigarette, or a longze, it would deliver stead and continuous dose of nicotine to help with dementia.
This is just my suggestion, and ... you know nicotine in some people makes them irritable, its a mild stimulant, been around 1000s years. One dose of nicotine usually lasts 20-30 min, then you have redose,. Very inconvenient. Don't take that as advice, but it stated that nicotine slows down dementia symptoms, or improves in someways. Due to the acetylcholine receptors
