Alzheimer cure advice 

We are not aware of the exact details of the treatment proposed by the doctor you mention, so it is not possible to say whether the treatment will or will not work. At present there is unfortunately no sure cure for Alzheimer's disease, and all approved medications and associated treatments can at the most slow down the progression of the disease and ease the symptoms to a small extent.

There are however many other treatment options that are being explored, including the one that you are considering. Some of them seem quite promising, but as far as we know, none of these treatments have completely finished being tested yet, so it is still not clear how effective they are. You could find out more details about this treatment that you are talking about, and then consult your family doctor or get a second opinion from some other specialist. There are several things you should consider here, including the price, the general state of your mother's health, the chances of the treatment working, and the risks of any side effects. The treatment is certainly expensive, but only you and your family will be able to decide whether it is worth trying.
