Morwenna Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Alzheimer's is awful. This is sort of good news/bad news. Great that there are a few things that can help people deal with it, but bad that it's always a drug that they're looking at in "solving" the problem. Best advice from someone who has already lost 2 people with Alzheimer's and is currently caring for a 3rd: enjoy every moment you can with them, make memories now, take photographs--and GET YOUR OWN HEALTH and affairs in order before it happens to you. You can prevent (most cases) of Alzheimer's by eating a healthy, whole-food, plant-based diet, drinking water, exercising, getting sunshine and adequate amounts of Vitamin D and B12, breathing clean air, sleeping an appropriate amount of time for you your age, taking time to worship and meditate, practicing faith, avoiding alcohol and unnecessary drugs, keeping your mind active by learning new things, forming and maintaining friendships with people of various ages, races and sexes, enjoy time with animals and get outdoors into nature.

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted January 13, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2022 Morqwenna: Your reference, as I understand it is to a 368 page book that proposes a specific program. That is not documentation of your claim. As I read about the book it proposes a program limited to people with "Mild Cognitive Impairment," (MCI). MCI may be caused by Alzheimer's, or it may be caused by other diseases of cognition. By the way, most people with Alzheimer's do not have MCI. My mother had Alzheimer's, but it was not MCI, lit was much worse. As I understand what I read about the book, it deos not say anything about what my mother had. Therefore, your questions as to what my mother ate are not relevant I will say that the authors of the book are authorities in their field.

Members phkrause Posted July 12, 2023 Members Share Posted July 12, 2023 💊 Between the lines: New Alzheimer's drug There are new questions about whether a newly approved Alzheimer's drug is less effective for women, Axios' Caitlin Owens and Oriana González write. Why it matters: Nearly two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer's disease are women, according to the Alzheimer's Association. The FDA's approval of the $26,500 drug, Leqembi, opened the door to much broader Medicare coverage and was celebrated by patient advocates as a win for patients suffering from the disease, which has no cure. The results from Leqembi's clinical trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, concluded that the drug slowed clinical decline by 27%. 💡 But in a supplementary appendix, analyses of subgroups found that the rate the disease was slowed was lower for women than for men in the study. The drug slowed cognitive decline in women by 12% compared to 43% in men. Read on.

Members phkrause Posted July 26, 2023 Members Share Posted July 26, 2023 Very interesting article!! Potential Causes Of Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological disorder that affects the brain. It is the most common form of dementia, resulting in memory loss and cognitive decline. At this time, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, making it even more critical to identify potential causes so that treatments can be developed. While there is still a lot more work to be done in this area, researchers have identified several potential causes of Alzheimer’s disease. This article will take a look at a few of them. https://healthlifeguru.com/potential-causes-of-alzheimers/?

Members phkrause Posted July 28, 2023 Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 Mapping Alzheimer's Data: "Prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease dementia in the 50 U.S. states and 3,142 counties." Map: Kavya Beheraj/Axios The Eastern and Southeastern U.S. have the country's highest prevalence of Alzheimer's disease, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick writes from a new study published in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia. Researchers estimated the rates of Alzheimer's disease among adults 65 or older in a given area based on demographic risk factors, including age, sex and race/ethnicity. Maryland (12.9%), New York (12.7%) and Mississippi (12.5%) topped the list of U.S. states, ranked by estimated number of Alzheimer's cases among older adults. 🥊 Reality check: The researchers caution that demographic-based risk factors can only tell part of the picture. Other factors — including cardiovascular health and lifestyle — play a role. Interactive version of this map, with county-by-county data.

Members phkrause Posted January 2 Members Share Posted January 2 Is It Aging or Alzheimer's? Is Your Memory Slipping? We all forget things sometimes, especially when life gets busy. You may start to notice this happening more often as you get older. Mild memory loss can be a normal part of aging. It doesn't necessarily mean you're going to have dementia. Only 1% of people over age 65 with normal age-related memory issues will get dementia each year. https://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/ss/slideshow-is-it-aging-or-alzheimers?

Members phkrause Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 Alzheimer’s drugs might get into the brain faster with new ultrasound tool, study shows Scientists have found a way to help Alzheimer’s drugs seep inside the brain faster — by temporarily breaching its protective shield. Read more. Key findings: The novel experiment was a first attempt in just three patients. But in spots in the brain where the new technology took aim, it enhanced removal of Alzheimer’s trademark brain-clogging plaque by 32%, researchers reported Wednesday. At issue is what’s called the blood-brain barrier, a protective lining in blood vessels that prevents germs and other damaging substances from leaching into the brain from the bloodstream. But it also can block drugs for Alzheimer’s. Now scientists are using a technology called focused ultrasound to jiggle temporary openings in that shield. Alzheimer’s isn’t the only target. Other researchers are testing if breaching the blood-brain barrier could allow more chemotherapy to reach brain tumors, and ways to target other diseases.
