How Can Memory Be Improved While Suffering From Alzheimer S Disease?

I have alzheimers since 2008 - 2012. I started on Aricept and have since added Namenda. I don t see any improvmement, however. My memory is still very good, but I d like to find something that will actually slow the dementia down. Being somewhat skeptical, I believe that a cure- for any disease- can only be sold to a person ONLY ONCE, while treatments can be sold many times, so a TREATMENT is much more profitable for BIG PHARMA, since it can be prescribed many times. Are there any medications that can boost my memory? I know that I will eventually lose the fight, but I would like to at least keep the brain function that I still have. Thank you for any reccommendations that you can provide.
