My research interests include immunology and the mechanisms of amyloid formation. The latter has implications for people who are dealing with Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease … View Profile
I suggest that you seek the advice of a specialist geriatrician about this.
As far as I can see Enbrel (also known as Etanercept) is approved by the PBS for treatment of various forms of arthritis but not for Alzheimer's Disease.
