Elizabeth Taylor Treated for Alzheimer's Disease
- 'There is very little that can be done,' says friend

ELIZABETH TAYLOR is reportedly suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

According to reports, the Oscar-winning legend - who has been suffering from dementia for several months - has in fact been struck down by the degenerating illness.

A friend told America's National Enquirer magazine:
"Elizabeth is now being treated for early stages of Alzheimer's.

"At this point there is very little that can be done. She confided to her specialists that she finds herself more and more confused."

The 74-year-old screen legend, who has survived a brain tumour and several strokes, is alleged to often feel delusional because of the condition which
affects the memory of sufferers.

The source added: "Liz wakes up sometimes and really doesn't know where she is and she's scared."
