When Massachusetts-based musician and activist Ben Grosscup (@BenGrosscup) learned his mother had Alzheimer’s, he turned to Cuba for help.
He traveled to Havana to obtain #NeuralCIM, a groundbreaking Cuban #medication that has had remarkable results in slowing the progression of #Alzheimer's.

Grosscup has long opposed his government’s economic war on Cuba. But as intensified #sanctions and an #oil #blockade limit the island’s ability to produce #medicine like NeuralCIM, #US policy became more personal.
“The blockade is harming my own family,” he says.
