Today I want to cover the ten warning signs of dementia, as well as some additional information about Alzheimer’s disease.
Top early signs of dementia:
1. Changes in language and communication
2. Difficulty navigating
3. Sensory problems
4. Constipation
5. Personality changes
6. Mood changes
7. Memory loss
8. Difficulty with problem-solving
9. A loss of awareness
10. Repeating things often
It turns out that the theory that amyloid plaquing in the brain causes Alzheimer’s may not be as solid as we once thought. But, other promising theories are emerging.
There is an alternative theory that Alzheimer’s is a lysosome storage problem. The lysosome is a part of the cell that helps clean up damaged proteins and recycles them into new building blocks.
The theory is that this part of the cell is broken. The process of the lysosome cleaning up damaged protein and recycling it is called autophagy.
Alzheimer’s is multifaceted. There are a lot of different things that can lead to this problem. If your parent or grandparent has Alzheimer’s, you could potentially have a weakness within your genetics.
This doesn’t mean that you will get Alzheimer’s, but that this gene could turn on, leaving you at risk. Thankfully, there are a lot of things you can do to help keep this gene from turning on.
Natural factors that help keep Alzheimer’s in check:
1. Change your fuel to ketones
2. Increase autophagy
3. Consume omega-3 fatty acids
4. Reduce heavy metals in your body
5. Methylation (consume B12 and folate)
6. Talk to your doctor about stopping certain medications
7. Get plenty of certain vitamins and try Lion’s mane (vitamins A, D, B1, C, E, and K1)

@Rubita 7 for
To Rubita 7: I hadn’t thought of that! Unless the cans are lined, I would think it’s a good possibility, since soft drinks usually have a low pH, which means high acidity. It would be very interesting to test the soft drinks for the presence of aluminum.
My mother's( in her 80s) temper and her patience extremely limited. She shudders in during some conversations; get frustrated over simple things like operating tv remote or using cellular phone. She always been social person and COV19 pandemic kept her isolated which only made matters far worse.
Very good to see that you are discussing causes rooted in methylation and other areas of epigenetics (APOE, etc.) Great video!
How about milk thistle to clear the toxins from the body through the liver
I'm a bit older and a year ago I got diagnosed with dementia and they told my kids that I would never come out of it, after ending up in the hospital they found out I had a bladder infection that went septic. Apparently older women can get severe bladder infections without having any symptoms whatsoever. I actually have a genetic predisposition to improperly formed ureter valves so the urine can back up into the kidneys and infect them. All I'm saying is if somebody tells you that you have Dementia or that your mother has dementia, make sure you have them check for a bladder infection and make sure that they don't just pigeonhole her and put her into a rest home. Since my bladder infection and kidney infection was cured I am back to 100%, absolutely no signs of dementia whatsoever.
Wow
Wow, wow! Good to know!!!
There are also other physical reasons a person might present as “dementia” and yet it’s a simple fix.
I an so happy for you. Thanks for the information. Best wishes from Sweden.
Thanks for sharing
I lost my mom to vascular dementia. There are no words to express the heartbreak of seeing a loved one afflicted by dementia or Alzheimer's 😓
My mom just got diagnosed with the same thing. I'm so stressed out. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼
@@bennyphilip2601 I'm so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and your family 🙏
My Mom too was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and it has been a struggle to see her go through this it hurts.
@@Rebecca-ew9sw I know exactly how you feel 😓 The hardest part for me was to see her beautiful personality and character fade away to nothing. Seeing her become a shell of her former self.
Amen 🙏 I lost my mom to Alzheimer's and my dad to dementia/Huntingtons just a few years ago. Being there care giver its something I think about every day. The hardest thing watching your parents turned into different people is heartbreaking. To you and everyone else who has lost a loved one to this I wish you well 💞
I lost my father exactly 10 years ago today from Alzheimer’s after fighting cancer for 20 years. His diagnosis came 6 months before he passed. He was surrounded by family when the day came. We kept him at home. His mind was comparable to a 3 year old during his last days. He was pleasantly confused but he knew who we were. He became unresponsive and bed ridden on the day he passed. We were blessed we were able to keep him in the comfort of his home.
My mother had Alzheimers and she had all the symptoms it was very sad people are t themselves anymore Rip to everyone who had it And also people who are still alive God bless them all!!❤❤❤❤❤
Dr Berg, thank you for speaking on such a difficult subject. I worked as a nurse in a nursing home and had many clients suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's. I fully understand the sadness and devastation of family members who have to place a parent in a nursing home. When my mom's vascular dementia progressed to the point where we could no longer take care of her, we had to make the difficult decision of placing her. At first, she kept asking when she could go back home. Just thinking of this is absolutely heartbreaking. We visited her twice a day for 2 years and it was a blessing to both her and us. At one point, she developed severe pain, elimination and dysphagia problems, and it was decided to start a morphine protocol. She slipped into a coma for 9 long days before before she passed. To everyone who has a loved one afflicted by dementia or Alzheimer's, I wish you strength and courage ❤
😢😢😢❤
I just lost my mother to Dementia as well couple of weeks ago and I am trying to judge you or anything but if you guy’s didn’t put her in a nursing home she might of lived a bit longer because in nursing homes they get abused and they don’t get the care that they deserve.
@@vintageradioman My mother had to be placed in the nursing home because she was doing things that placed her in danger, like running boiling hot water for her bath. She would wake up in the middle of the night and turn stove burners on. It gets to a point when no caregiver can supervise 24/7 because people have to work. And no, she would not have lived longer if we had not placed her. Sadly, her rapidly deteriorating health condition left us no option. But I understand that some may judge, pass comment or think we made the wrong decision. Also, I can guarantee you that not one resident was poorly taken care of or neglected in the nursing home where I worked as a nurse, and I say that with great pride.
@@clairehachey2189 God bless you! ❤🙏
I'm right here with you because I lost my mom to Dementia 3 years ago. I wish you well. 😇

THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
TY... 👍
thank you
Joe Biden suffer from most of these,
🤣 "Not the Iron Maiden kind"!! Love it. Thank you!! 😊
The fact that we get free videos on UA-cam by Dr. Berg is truly a gift. 👍👍👍
Yep..!! Thank you Dr Berg.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He makes $350K on UA-cam and even more with the supplements he sells. And wait he sells books also….just like any other UA-camr….he’s gonna tell you what you will believe…
This list is so accurate. I lost my mom to breast cancer but she also fought a long 10 year battle with Alzheimer's. I'm pretty short 4' 10" so I guess I can look like a child. The saddest words I heard her say to me were "Where's your mom?" 💔💔 Soul crushing.
❤🫂 My heart goes out to you. My grandfather had Alzheimers too. He didn't recognize anyone anymore none of his 8 kids. But somehow he knew my grandmother was his constant not by name but he would speak with her and ask her questions. One day out of the blue during Christmas he told her she (his daughter, my mother) must be married to that guy (my dad). It was a special day, one out of many difficult one's.
I watched my great grandma suffer 10 years also before her peaceful death. On that last night she remembered me and we said goodbye Although I didn’t know it at that moment. Her death was peaceful. She raised me like a mother so it was rough.
My mother passed away in 2019 age 99 of old age. The last couple of years she lived at home with us and it was like our roles were reversed. She called me mum, and often asked where is mum.
Thank you for the kind words. My one comfort is that The Lord brought her home Jan 2020. And my dad October 2019
Only a couple months before the whole 2020 craziness! I couldn't even imagine going through all that. My heart goes out to all who had and are still enduring through that
@@harrodsfan Full respect to you for caring for your mother at you house. You have a kind heart.
I was an oncology nurse for 30 years.. I was also a home health nurse for a bit before that, and I believe that Alzheimer's is the worst disease ever! It's like the person died 10 years previously and their body is still working around😔
I can tell you I was grieving for the loss of my mother 3 years before her body passed. Your comment is on point and hit home for me.
I agree
I am going through this now with my mother. Heartbreaking 💔
@@verborgenewahrheit1594 me too. It's brutal.
It cnt be the worst...
I currently care full time for my 87 year old granny who has dementia. She's just been put on hospice (last month) and it's just so devastating as the disease has taken over everything she used to be. My heart goes out to anyone who is also going through this situation.
My husband and I took care of his dad with dementia. We would never think to put him in a nursing home. Yes, it was hard at times especially when he became bedridden and watching him slowly die but we wouldn't change anything. My aunt put my grandpa in a nursing home and it kind of traumatized me. It was such a horrible place.
My prayers are with you. My father's wish was to die at home because he built it and it was where my mother died. I moved in from out of state and was alone with him. It was hell in the end but proud to say I granted him that wish. I pray your mother and you have peace now. You and everyone around you who helped her are my heros and hers. Peace.
Treat the cause. Malnourishment is a deficiency if nutrients causing all kinds of problems where only symptoms are being treated. Vitamin deficiencies especially Vitamin B1 in high doses..R- Lipoic- Acid helps stop the demyelination of the nerves. Symptoms is telling us there’s a problem. Find the cause of the symptoms. Treat the cause. Autophagy.
My Mother is in A Nursing Home with dementia, i cared for her for 8 yrs before placing her in a home.
To this day she is a very happy resident at her NH and the staff love her because she is so happy all the time.
This man is worth his weight in GOLD!!! Thank you Dr. Berg! 💜💜👏🙏
I lost my mother to dimentia and it broke me. It never happened to anyone we knew or family so came out of nowhere. I blamed myself because I didn’t see the signs and if I had maybe something could of been different. The last time I saw my mother was right before the pandemic hit and it was tough. I was alone with her at the hospital and I begged her to say something other than yeah because that’s all she would say and she couldn’t. I just broke down crying and I hate the fact that was our final time together. She passed about two years ago and we buried her on my birthday which was another just kick in the face. Stay strong if you have a family member with this and just love them.
Don't blame yourself. Even if you spotted the signs it wouldn't have changed her journey. It's a hellish disease for those of us witnessing it happen aswell as the person It's happening to
I’m a caregiver and I care for a person who has this. I keep her calm. I try not to pressure her or stress her out. I listen to her and I respect her as an adult.This keeps episodes at bay. We have a great relationship (most days).
You're like our beloved, Ana. 🙏🏾Thank you!!! 💯💯🏆🏆💐💐💞💞
My heart felt condolences to your wife but she's so fortunate to have such an amazing medical knowledge encyclopaedia husband like you!! I have been watching your life saving videos for few years now and it has completely changed my life to the best it could possibly be
Dr. Berg,
I'm 35. I can relate to all of these. One day I was driving in the town where I live, headed to the grocery store, came to a four way stop, and as I approached the stop sign, for about 30 seconds, I was suddenly overcome with immense fear, confusion, and panic as I had no idea where I was or where I was going. I just sat at the stop sign until someone blew their horn at me. I turned right out of pure instinct, and as I drove it came back to me that I was in my home town and heading to the grocery store. I don't know how people live like that every day. It was terrifying.
Same here!I am 38.. and it runs in my genes.
That happened to me in a store one day, when I had to punch in my card PIN to pay. Suddenly, out of the blue, I had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what my PIN was!!! I had been using it for 3 years and boom....just...nothing! I forced myself not to "think" and just allowed my muscle memory to punch in a number. Luckily my fingers just remembered the code. Scared me to death!
I have also gone deaf in my left ear . ENT thinks it may be acoustic neuroma. I didn't know that rhat could be a symtoms of dementia .
Sorry, if it just happened once, it could have been a fluke.
Maybe take cilantro or chlorella and NAC to make sure your body is detoxing well.
It happens a lot to younger people these days- especially those who get the yearly useless flu shots which have nano aluminum... Aluminum has a link to memory and brain issues, but the scientists will never challenge that as long as big pharma runs things.
I've also been noticing people drive very erratic in the last year, probably from the big shot but that one doesn't have aluminum but it does cause bloodflow issues.
Oh Melissa, Alzheimer's took my mom and dad, his mom, most of his seven sibling's. My older siblings and I have reason to be very, very concerned. My doctor said as much, and asked if I want genetic testing. NO. What difference would knowing possibly make, except to terrify me further. Every time I forget something, I'm unnerved. In my 30s, I had episodes like yours; however, not since then. God bless, and 🙏
Thank you Dr. Berg, this this information is so valuable to us those who have lost a parent. I lost my mother August 17, 2021 to Alzheimer's dementia and I must say when she was diagnosed with this horrible debilating disease I was so scared because it was very progressive. I immersed myself into everything I could find in books and on the web regarding this disease and I'm still learning. You provide so much information and I'm grateful. My mother's memory went fast, it's unbelievalbe to watch your mother the woman who raised you, cared and loved you to adulthood not even recognize you anymore. It's devasting. Thank you again for delegating your time to brining us valuable information regarding this horrible disease.
My 77 year old mom got vascular dementia. Got test scored 22 out 30. Doctor told us to due certain brain exercises. Retested 6 months later. Scored 23 out 30 . She got this condition from a mild stroke. Recovered very good . With help from my brother and I.
That's amazing she recovered. My mum had a stroke but deteriorated quickly with vascular dementia and eventually died after a fall. Can I ask what the brain exercises were?
She reads out loud newspapers. Does word searches. Lots of seniors one partner died. The other has no one to talk . That's bad .
My Papa passed away 5 years ago on the 18th. It still hurts like yesterday and he had all these traits you described. Before the Alzheimer's he was funny, extremely quick and very intelligent. And I keep thinking I'm going to get it so thank you for this video!
I lost my beautiful mum to dementia last Christmas, the most cruellest of diseases robbed her of everything. It broke my heart watching her slowly being destroyed, and when she passed with me by her side the only consolation was that her suffering was over. I'm now nursing my dad through the same, life can be so cruel. I miss my mum every day and hold on dearly to my dad as every day is precious ❤
I also lost my Mother to vascular dementia 😢. In her late 50’s, early 60’s, she was becoming so forgetful. My mother had many small TIAs and then she had a huge stroke which left her paralyzed on her left side, unable to speak or to walk….. she was becoming so forgetful that she didn’t even recognize us. When a loved one does get Alzheimer’s, you lose them twice. You lose them initially because they have changed so much and they don’t know who they are or who you are. And then you lose them again when they die. Being with my blessed mother when she was dying was an honor. Nevertheless, it broke my heart and I don’t think I will ever get over it. She was my best friend too. I truly believe there is something in the water. People underestimate the number of individuals who will pour poisons into our drinking water and nuclear waste. That’s something you cannot filter out. I also believe in the metal theory. Look at the deodorants that have aluminum in them. I’ve made my own deodorant since before I went to university with just baking soda and some essential oils. I’ve always eaten organic, no meat and I never drink tap water always distilled. I have never used metal pans for cooking, only ceramic and/or Corning Ware cookware….In terms of a toothpaste, I use an organic one free from fluoride and chemicals. I do hope they do find a cure for it one day. Bless all of you who have gone through this or one’s that are going through this. Bless all of you! Many thanks for this video, Susan

Every one of these I had when I was 20 years old after a brain injury I'm 64 an now and little has changed😮
My Grandma suffered from Dementia. She could talk to me from 10 years ago. She knew me but she had no clue what happened days ago. She would tell her caregivers her kids would never visit her even though all 6 of her kids visited her everyday.
Dr Berg, you have opened my eyes to a whole lot of things. Thanks to you I am taking a step back to have a long deep look at my body. I listen to you on a daily basis. I have benefitted so much and I look forward to joining your programme as soon as I have diagnosed my problems. Keep doing great things for humanity!
My mum (75yrs) is currently going through dementia, and it’s sad 😢 … I’m definitely sharing this video, hopefully it’ll help others going through this same pain or help them educate other people on this issue! 😭👍✨
It would be a good thing to start giving your mom sauerkraut daily and keifer daily along with your B vitamins nutritional yeast
taking tablespoon of virgin coconut oil every 8 hours might help the brain function again on fats instead of using glucose
@@worstalentscout yes Dr Berg has a vido on coconut oil and dementia.
Change your mothers diet to to a keto diet or carnivore diet asap!!!
@worstalentscout cut sugar and sweets cut out meat white flour cut out all form of soda I pray the true and living GOD help you and your Mom.
Dr berg works tirelessly to bring us information that big pharma would never want us to know.
My daughter used to work for a home health care service. One of her clients was an elderly Japanese lady who told her all of these wonderful stories about her life and the profession she once worked in. My daughter is learning to spend Japanese so she was very excited when the lady agreed to study with her and help her learn it. Sadly on her next visit the lady seems slightly fearful of her and stayed in bed all day crying and refused to get up. She didn't really remember my daughter or their previous conversation. My daughter was devastated. Because most of her clients had issues like that, it was too emotionally painful for her so she quit the job.
That's awful to witness. I've had issues dealing with my mother, though after a nasty fall, where she couldn't remember things for 5~10 seconds, and each fall became worse. Then another similar scenario after she became addicted to Advil, where after throwing up she lost all sense of her place and time, and similarly to the falls, she couldn't recall anything except who I was. Took several hours the first fall, half a day the second, and a day when it triggered likely due to Advil. She's past on physically since, but those were three of the most horrible experiences I've ever had. Luckily after she recovered, she had vague to virtually no recollection of what had happened.
In my mind, it's almost certainly tied to medications. You can see Alzheimer's rise exponentially as modern medicine grows and as Allopathic medication as a means of treatment becomes popular. There seems to be a very understudied (really not at all), correlation if you look into the rise of cholesterol medication for heart disease and a sharp spike in Alzheimer's.
Hell, if you look at how many people in the US, since the 90's, are 50 years old with white hair, and bent over, it's not due to excessive work. It's due to the pharmaceutical industry, as all of those ancient 50 year olds tend to have at least 3 very powerful medications for various ailments, and at least 2~5 alternative medications to offset the damage done by the main medications.
Nevermind super high omega-6 cooking oils, other additives to food, especially junk food (snack food used to be ok for you), and the sheer volume of sugar, which actually does correlate with plaque, not fat.
Your videos are always clear and concise. Today, I was touched by the story of your mother-in-law, and your wife's relationship and journey through dementia with her. Having gone through it with my Dad, it was the most authentic introduction to core of the video & the knowledge we all need to know. It's not just science, it's life. And the people we love. Thank you.
As a child of a mother who died from Alzheimer's after 20 years from first diagnosis, most of this is NOT "early" signs of developing Alzheimer's but of people already with Alzheimer's. The problem is most family members are in denial for years before their loved one is checked by a doctor and get the diagnosis. The first signs are personality changes that are so subtle, people dismiss it as aging. One first sign is a subtle loss of self-assurance, a kind of dependency for your opinion when making decisions, choosing things to buy (this is one type of change in personality part, others may be the reverse, more stubbornness or irritability, fear and suspicion, its the frequency and increase that's key). Another is burning things on the stove more frequently (keep track, from a couple of times a month to more and more). Also buying things at the grocery and other places when you still have them at home. False memories, mistaking who said what to whom.
End stage can also be different from person to person. My mother at 96, was in the hospital and as late as 3 days before she died, she was still bilingual in her responses though she had no idea who I was. She still swallowed liquid foods and maybe had some taste sensation, she said strong flavors tasted good. The saddest are those diagnosed early, like in their fifties, they progress a lot faster.
Also, warning to family caregivers, this was predicted by another person who went through this, that children of parents with Alzheimer's tend to live shorter lives than their parents. Yes, caring for your parent can shorten your own life span from non-Alzheimer's causes, and from the underlying conditions I developed, I believe it is much more likely due to the stress for prolonged periods. This last thing is the least talked about IMO.
I can totally relate to this. My mother who has just turned 92 was diagnosed with alzheimers 3 months ago. I believe she's had it for at least 10 years but we were all in denial. I am learning more about this disease as I know, being her primary caregiver it's going to get a lot worse. I have just retired and now this. Her mood changes and developing aggression is very challenging. In some ways it feels like the world is closing in on me. I love life and want to live it while I'm still healthy and relatively young. I know I will be the last one to get help. It's an all consuming situation.
Bil. I agree that the signs Dr Berg mentions are not "early" signs. In retrospect it was buying habits that I now know were the tell with my wife. Could come under the broad umbrella of obsessive, compulsive disorder.
THIS 100%
Yes these are definitely not 'early' signs.
My mum was diagnosed a few yrs ago at 62, she was considered 'mild' stages then and she isn't exhibiting a heap of these yet..for her, her 'symptoms' in her later 50s, she was blaming on menopause-brain fog, forgetting words/numbers, mood change but mum would randomly say,'i swear ive got dementia! Then a quick googke and reassure herself its just another menopause symptom.. And her doctor said these symptoms are all related to stress/anxiety, see a pscy. Her doctor of many yrs was surprised with mums diagnosis 😕 depression and the idea of 'what's the point keeping going' is her biggest hurdle everyday now...
Now for the hardest and least talked about part of being a family caregiver.
If after official diagnosis, bare in mind that leaving the patient unattended for any time in 24 hours can result in anyone from doctors, social workers, neighbors, the Alzheimer's Association caseworkers, to total strangers, to contact Elder Protective Services anonymously and the police will come to the home to inspect. They can then file a report of Neglect which is a category of Elder Abuse and a Felony charge. Even doctors and social workers can ask if the patient is being watched 24/7, the cause of a bruise, and if they suspect they are alone for even 30 minutes, they as "mandated reporters" can opt to turn the family into Elder Protective Svcs (EPS) for their own liability protection. Same if you call an ambulance, a team of paramedics and police will enter the home and go over the patient's environment to see if it is all a "safe space" from objects on the floor to handhold devices to anything that can cause an accidental fall or other injuries. Yes, while you're doing your best to help your mother, you will be looked upon as a possible source of abuse and neglect. I was a registered personal caregiver through an agency so I had training to know the seriousness and after consulting some legal sources had to put my mother in a group home for my own protection from liability. She went crazy for awhile but that's the way it is. One doctor, my doctor not hers, advised me that when it comes to Elder Abuse and family caregivers, the family is on the opposing sides of the courtroom and the patient's legal team cannot advise you because it is "conflict of interest" for their client, the patient, your mother. The statistics show that family caregivers are the primary cause of elder abuse from financial abuse, psychological abuse, neglect, and physical abuse - that a facility including hospitals and nursing homes can get away with because they have a team of legal advisors for defense. The hardest part of being a family caregiver was being constantly interrogated like a criminal by all the mandated reporters - this is a concept that I never knew about until I started seeking help for my mother. You will not find much on it because if you ask, even online, you become the suspect for trying to hide elder abuse. Even siblings can turn on each other and report. You can go for caregiver mental counseling and think patient doctor confidentiality will protect you as you talk about all the difficulties of caregiving but your therapist is a mandated reporter and obligated to report you to the police as a suspected felon. Again, this is why I put my mother in a facility even though neither of us wanted this.
Lost my Mom to Dementia in 2020. Couldn't even visit her because of the pandemic. She was such a vibrant and sharp minded person 99% of her life. Not fun watchng the decline. Thanks for this video.
I had to look at my dad through the flower bed window in his convelesant home . Covid was brutal and he had a stroke
I love how you spoke about your wife in the beginning of this video. Makes me know I am not the only man who truly appreciates their amazing wife/friend on this challenging journey 💯👊🏻💨💨💨!
I experienced a toxic exposure at work. I had pneumonias and was diagnosed after 2 years with "some kind of Alzheimers". After 20 years all the symptoms cleared, so I evidently cleared the heavy metals I took on. I lost my ability to read. I experienced dementia.Horrible.Lost all the time.Couldn't read.Had to learn all over again.Glad to be back. I took a lot of good supplements.
How did you clear the heavy metals if you don't mind me asking.
Ann, I went through the same thing when I was in my 40s. I was an editor, and within a matter of days, I couldn't read or understand language. Yes, it was horrible. One hospital wanted to admit me to the Psych unit because some snotty nurse thought I was being deliberately uncooperative. A simple blood test and immediate treatment with B12 would have prevented some of the brain damage that occurred. MD's never!
My diagnosis was Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.I was put on Social Security at age 59, after which I was told, you cannot be retrained.There were more than 20 of us and 3 got cancer( all the same kind of cancer, at the same time).Finally, after still denying the building was at fault, they moved to another location.Supplements do help.
Nobody gets back to normal after having dementia/Alzheimer’s,so you even know what dementia/ ALZ is? Stop lying through your teeth for attention.
Which kind of supplement did you take?
Dear Dr.Eric Berg,
Sir you're doing really marvelous work in educating people at large about various aspects of human health, what causes onset of serious ailments and what can prevent such onset.
May God bless you..
I cared for my mother the last five years of her life until she died three years ago with dementia/Alzheimer’s. We were very close and it was really hard, especially the day I became mother and she became my daughter, and for the first time in my life she forgot my birthday (I was first born and she always called me on my birthday). I always made sure she remembered and called the siblings on their birthdays. I became so stressed out by the time she passed that I totally broke down after, and it took a long time for me to recover myself. By far the most powerful and stressful period of my life, but I would not have missed those last years with her for anything in the world. It increased my faith in God more than anything else I can imagine. My mom was Jean (not gene).
If there were a god there would be no Alzheimer's.
@@snowbird6855 why did you feel the need to post that comment. People are entitled to their own beliefs and if you don't believe in it then move around, I'm pretty sure there's an atheist from for like-minded people like you.
Me too - taking care of my father, although difficult, has been in many ways a blessing. I feel that it's an honor to take care of him in the ways I can - and although it's brutal and in many ways exhausting - I know God loves us and is with us through it all. God bless you!
@@Delphi333 God bless you too. We need His blessings extra when going through challenges like that, and to remember, He never gives us more than we can bear. Although at times you may believe you are at your breaking point, He will always step in and provide a way for relief. It truly was for me an incredible faith building experience. I hope it is the same for you, in addition to being a very special daughter father relationship experience most never get to have.
I am in the middle of caring for my mother and everything you wrote is what I am going through. I am blessed to care for her but It has been by far the most stressful time in my life. I recently took a week vacation and it helped me to regain strength and emotional fortitude. I think I was close to a breakdown before then so it came at the perfect time. I appreciate what you wrote because not many people can understand the dynamic of being blessed by and wanting to care for someone who is also incredibly difficult to care for. I know that Things may change as her condition gets worse, but I am just trying to take it one day at a time. I just wanted to thank you for your thoughts because they helped me.
Dr Berg. You are a blessing to humanity..I have a huge problem with memory loss at 77 yearsold. Your video is a gift for me.
This happened to my mom😭😭😭I miss you mom. Thank you Dr berg
condolences..if it helps to console you, i lost mine to heart attack in 1995
Thank you Doc. My 97 year old grandma has been diagnosed with dementia last year but she stull has a very strong memory. I sent this video to my mama so she can be informed and start doing research together.
I think stressful situations and depression also can create something akin to dementia…especially if you are currently suffering either of them issues..
Our long journey down this road began in 2010 after my husband became comatose from hsv encephalitis which damaged temporal lobes and frontal.There was a delay of several days before acyclovir was actually administered because the doctors thought he had a stroke.Twelve years later he now has the diagnosis of mild mixed dementia. His dad had vascular and AD. So now at the age of 65 he is facing this terminal illness. He was a brilliant architect , but his life (and mine)abruptly changed literally overnight. It Thank you for your valuable information. It has been a confusing, complicated and heartbreaking experience.
Perfect. Stayed on topic. Nice pace. Lists in writing staying visibly up on the board. Thank you!
Seeing your loved one/s disappear is beyond heart breaking. Thankyou for this post ❤
It is the most horrible thing. Then to deal with the healthcare system to boot is overwhelming. My dad had vascular dementia for 5 years. To watch him deteriorate and lose quality of life was horrible and I feel like I also lost 5 years of my life. He was having anxiety in the beginning also , so that is another possible symptom. Also if they get nasty, it's part of the disease. I was in tears early on because he cursed at me( he rarely cursed normally) and basically called me a liar and he couldn't trust me which broke my heart at the time. It was hell on earth. I am glad he passed finally because he lost so much of his quality of life and it was affecting the family also, emotionally and financially. I wish he just never had it and was still with us.
Since I've always had some type of communications disorder and I recently had a head trauma, I'm undergoing a lot of these myself. The big difference is that I always am in tune to where I am, so that's a relief.
My father did from vascular dementia 8 years ago…was the worst thing …trying to connect with him but he was only the shell of the amazing man he once was.
Now my mother has Alzheimer’s and we are going through the heartbreak again.
Thank you Dr. Berg for another amazing video! My mom is 71 and was just diagnosed with dementia this year. We have been told her dementia was caused by a brain disease Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy due to hypertension. It has been a very stressful 1.5 years when we began seeing problems. It has been heartbreaking. She has never exercised and loves bread, pasta etc. She is not visibly overnight but according to her BMI she is obese. She has had hypertension for majority of her adult life. What we have been told is that the hypertension has caused many many brain bleeds and white matter disease causing the dementia. We are at a point where she will not change her diet. She doesn't have the ability to understand this and it just causes more aggrevation so I have left it alone.
I have never had issues with weight and work out regularly however I have just started on the Keto diet for the health and brain benefits. I am only 2 weeks in but I am fully committed. Even though I am physically healthy I do have inflammation. I am doing this diet for the therapeutic effect and I believe that it will help prevent the possibility of dementia. My great grandmother and grandmother both died of dementia so I believe I likely have the gene but I have not been tested. Getting this dreaded disease is my biggest fear!
Thank you for all you do for people. The information you teach us is invaluable! It is because of you that I am encouraged to stay on this diet and make it my lifestyle! ❤️
Oh Wow, I'm so sorry you are going through this. I am having these very same feelings. My mom is in her 70s and has dementia and I'm wanting to do the keto for the same reasons. I'm trying to figure out where to begin.
I have a similar situation with my mom who has liver disease from diabetes. I had a great aunt who passed away from the same thing. She had the same diet habits, sedentary lifestyle and illness progression. I used to worry about genetics but I’ve come to believe that their lifestyle similarity makes more sense than genetics. Unfortunately they both were in their prime in the 1980’s when no fat trend started and when they developed diabetes, followed doctors advice to eat carbs and take your meds instead of reverse it with no carbs.
My mom was a nurse and she believed in meds.
Dr Berg , you have discussed so many topics I was wondering about , especially this. Thank you
My dad has dementia too...it's a mixed dementia....it's heartbreaking to watch him like that!...
Glad you clarified that Dr Berg. I always wondered about this Plac theory. But you make so much sense! I am listening.
Dr. Eric Berg, I appreciate you! 💕
Many others' videos (etc.) are primarily precursors to a sales pitch. And/or, we have to sit through a long video only to end up being disappointed with vague info., incorrect info., or again, a self-serving sales pitch. 😢
You seem to care about HELPING others. Also, you get to the point and the videos are structured well. The info. is usually easy to confirm, and it's reliable. You don't drown out the important info. with long stories, loud music, and FX that are too flashy. I could go on and on about the production (I work in the film industry), but I won't keep gushing.
Thank you for your professional, useful, helpful, caring, and intelligent presentations. 🙂
Take care... 🙏 Aloha! 🌺
My wife passed away from this horrible sickness last December. And as you talk about this, I'm like just wow!
my condolences.. i didnt know alzheimers could cause death
I'm sorry, Donald. I watched my Dad go through this with my Mum. It's heartbreaking xxx
@@fidelcatsro6948 it is a slow moving death. But it slowly kills the brain. Even to the point where the affected person forgets how to even swallow food or water. Which is what happened. Your body also needs your brain to function all of your functioning systems.
This video was just a reminder of all I went through over many years. And then as her caretaker for the last 3+ years
God bless you and thank you for keeping us updated. My Mom has mid/advanced dementia and it's heartbreaking & frustrating. She was an intelligent CCU/ICU RN who worked in the NICU and Burn Center at Cedars, well respected by many Dr.s. Now she waves and yells at airplanes, talks about getting shanked by other residents, codes other residents if they have any alarms that goes off she thinks they are patients and talks to the bushes!
Change your mothers diet and try and get her off most of her meds. These meds they are giving these dementia patiants are causing a lot of mental/body health issues.
look up dr bergs vids on Coconut oil and also kefir and raw sauerkraut.
you have to take your mothers health into your own hands. the medical community is corrupt.
💔
Any info if cbd is offering hope as a treatment for some? I don't understand the science of it. I don't believe its a cure all like some people claim however we have heard for years now and seen examples consistently how it stops seizures in *some children. I'm aware somethings do more harm than good and like you said can actually accelerate a problem or create a new one. So I would never just jump on a band wagon my mother taught me better than that. She did teach me always ask questions if you want to know something, ask more than one person from that field, read books from reputable sources and so on. Oh yes and watch out for snake oil salesmen lol. So I was just curious if there is any research being done on cannabinoids and if they help or accelerate dementia? Thanks
It’s rough I know my mom was 82 and had Lewy body. She repeated a lot and said any car with black wheels was a drug dealer ?
I just recently lost my father. I had to put him in a home with people with dementia. He was having brain bleeds because of strokes. He would not know where he was at he would get behind the wheel the car I tried to live with him. But he would not stay at home so finally I had to have the police pick him up and they took him to the hospital. He was there less than 3 months and passed on in June, it's been very difficult. My mother also has been suffering from dementia. She does not try to leave the house. So she gets to live at home. But, I'm the oldest and she remembers my life mostly. But my younger sister she thinks is the cleaning lady. It's so sad. She has all kinds of stories that she tells people that come in to check on her nurses etc. And she tells the same kind of stories to me. The only time I correct her, is when I told her she was 84. Because she was telling me she wasn't going to have any more kids. Mostly I just let her believe what she wants to believe, because I know the story is going to change the next time she tells it. It's heartbreaking. And I hope and pray that I pass on before I put my children through this. I feel the pain of others that are telling about their situations and their loved ones who are dealing with this dreaded disease. Just read an article that said that Alzheimer's might be an autoimmune disease of the brain. Don't know how much is of this is true. Thank you for your information.
Dokter Eric. Your video s are so good and easy to understand , with very much information. I want to thank you for all your work to help people. Greets 🇳🇱The Netherlands.
Dr. Eric, you're improving my life/health one video at a time. Thank yoy.
Glad to hear that! You're very welcome.
As a nurse l have worked with my patients that had Alzheimer’s we had to go thru a virtual tour of what it was like for them it was a great experience and easier to understand what they were going thru 💜
I think phone towers have great deal in this matter 😢
As always Dr. Eric 🙏
Great information, your awareness is much appreciated by me personally, i thank you kindly..
- Stay Blessed -
- Stay Healthy -
🙏❤✌
Thank you for another great video. You (and your team) deserve every penny you earn.
I lost my brother last year with vascular Dementia. 73 years old .the doctors said if you remember you have forgotten something you don't have Dementia. Because people with dementia don't no they have forgotten
I've been on the Carnivore diet for a little over three years now! I'm 73 and I've never felt better. First thing that changed, besides dropping around 20 pounds around the middle immediately, was all the many skin tags I had on my neck fell off in the matter of weeks. What separates me from others on this diet is that I take a lot of high quality supplements especially because I have macular degeneration which this diet and lutein plus other supplements have seemed to halt the progression of. Also I've been working out in the gym since 1972, way before this got popular with folks and I walk 4 miles, 3 times a week for years now. Thanks to you I now take food grade diatomaceous earth every other day and my joints stopped hurting especially a chronic condition in my elbow thanks to your video on diatomaceous earth. Once I got on it, my elbow literally cleared up in a couple weeks and it had been bothering my a lot for almost a year, it was a weight lifting injury, it was really chronic. Anyways, I appreciate you and I want you to know that your channel has helped me a lot, made a difference, thanks!
Im just wondering how you prevent constipation on the carnivore diet?
You are a wonder woman. Be happy
@@Is43109
Lots of veg and greens
@@snowbird6855 the Carnivore diet doesn't allow veg and greens as far as I can tell which is why I asked how to prevent consitpation.
My auntie has vascula dementia just gone into a home I feel for her 💯 thanks for all your videos our memories so terrible stress depression trauma covid. Your stuff helpful
I took the Alzheimer’s test and have APOE 4. My maternal g-ma and mother both passed, my mom this past February, with Alzheimer’.
This video is very helpful. Thank you, Dr. Berg
My Dad has been gone seven years now after having Dementia for six years. It runs in his family but he was very lucky and fought it off and stayed in his own home and independent until he was 93! I think for him what brought it on was a knee injury and a long wait for surgery. He was extremely active before that injury and it caused him to become more housebound. Without the outside stimulation, the Dementia seemed to come on. We think if he’d gotten his knee fixed immediately and been able to continue his golfing, pool playing, cards, and all his other activities and socializing, he wouldn’t have deteriorated so quickly. He was a very busy 93 and had many relatives live past the 100 year mark. He died four months short of 100.
It is such a cruel disease. I am the youngest and only girl and my Dad and I were always so close. When he didn’t know me anymore it tore my heart right out. But I had always been able to make him laugh and that didn’t change! Even later on, when I would get him laughing, there would be just the tiniest little bit of a familiar look in his eyes that let me know he was still there. That really helped me. A Lot. My brother’s and I had always thought that when the time came and he did pass away, we would feel that it was a relief. That it would be a blessing, because it would be a release for him. But it surprised us all how hard it hit us when it did finally happen. We thought we had already done our grieving for our Dad when he forgot us but his death filled us with another deep grief. Alzheimer’s/Dementia makes you lose the people you love so much, twice. I hope a cure is found soon. No one should have to go through that loss twice. Hugs and Love to you All!♥️
,hello
So sorry to hear your journey with your dad, heart breaking. Going through it with my 64 yo mum.
Do you incorporate any hopeful preventative measures in your daily life, for your longevity?
@@renee3148 thank you for your kindness and I’m so terribly sorry that you have to be experiencing this now with your own Mother. I wish so much that you weren’t. I did see that they are approving a new medication so hopefully it’s something that might help her. I myself am adopted so I haven’t had to worry about the hereditary aspect of dementia but I know the brother closest to me in age does worry. I’m not sure about all of the changes he’s made but I do know that he doesn’t use any aluminum or non-stick cookware because the dementia/Alzheimer’s connection. He’s very aware of the risks so I’m sure there’s quite a few things he’s wary of. Sending you Hope and Hugs♥️
@Jackielocks yes as we know, horrible illness. I'm not sure what's worse, dementia or cancer tbh both awful demise.
Ok, thanks for your response. I've been implementing a few things in hope of keeping it at bay if there is a genetic component, just curious if others are doing similar things.
All the best! 🙏
Va((ines have aluminum in them. Our elderly population is heavily va((inated with the flu va((ine, multiple doses a year, every year. I wish everyone would see this video!
Nobody likes to talk about it. But you are 100 percent right
They should take the nasal flu vaccine instead, that one doesn’t contain mercury or aluminum
Thank you for your excellent work and explanations.
Thanks so much for this information. I really appreciate it and the specific things we can do and take to hopefully prevent dementia.
For those with methylation deficiencies such as myself who had issues with taking folate and B-12 I found it much more beneficial to back load the methylation pathways with Tri-Methyl-Glycine and Creatine. 5 grams/day of each has made a huge difference in my overall health, especially my ability to exercise, recover and build muscle.
Can you please explain what you mean by backloading? I have the MTHFR mutation and had such severely depleted B12 when I was 45 that I forgot even my own name. I don't detox, and honestly, I'm concerned about how to manage this mess. I'm 67 now.
Alzheimer's took my mom and dad, his mom, and most of his seven siblings. You'd better believe my older siblings and I have reason to be very, very concerned. It's very, very scary. Every time I forget something, it's so unsettling. There's nothing that soothes this fear, because Alzheimer's has taken so many in my family. His information is priceless, however, I don't know how and where to start.
Great information. I visited my uncle who is in late-stage dementia. He can not go to the restroom, however, when my aunt said, “Annette is here today.” He turned and looked right at me. I guess we grasp for anything on the positive side. It was almost like he recognized my name, but then failed to recognize who I was. This is not at all the way I saw my uncle’s life ending. He had a big personality and was very extroverted.
Very informative and sensitively presented. Thank you.
Both of my parents died with dementia and other issues. It was very hard to care for them. I still struggle with guilt because I couldn't be there for them enough. I was working two jobs when they were suffering. It still really makes me very sad I couldn't help them. Thank you for teaching me ways to avoid this in my future.
Thank you Dr. Berg. My mother in law, along with two of her brothers died with dementia. My husband told me that he believes that he has it, and I would have to concur as the symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia are showing up. I will watch this video over again, and take some notes. Thank you.
Hugs. My MIL died of it. My husband did, too.
Thank you Dr.Berg for caring so much! Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have learned and studied!
Took care of my Mom until the end. Dementia is horrible. I do worry about myself and my siblings
I forgot to leave a like, I'm scared now
you need immediate icy glass of pepsi cola therapy..
I experienced many of these symptoms due to an under-functioning thyroid, maybe genetic, malnourishment, buying calories, carbs and sugars, but not vitamins. Thanks for this video and info. Hope viewers take it serious. In our world, one can't afford to make any health mistakes and we all knowingly make mistakes.
Thank you Dr. Berg and you wonderful People of Team Berg working there in the background. I work on a team at my place of employment. I understand how important your work is and appreciate what y'all do.

I lost my.daughter last December. She was only 49years old I haven't been the same I.forget things alot I cry 😢 alot over her It's so hard to give up a child I miss her so much 😢
It's scary. My memory is so bad at 36. Has been for as long as I can recall. I get what the illness can be like. Some basic things just don't come to memory so obviously quite worried.
get better soon amigo!
Try a hot cup of bovril. It's honestly amazing - sorts my brain right out!!
You need to start taking Kefir daily and you need to start taking sauerkraut daily to fix your gut biome. This will help significantly
@@flamingpieherman9822 my gut biome is in tatters from a medical condition called epi. Not sure any part of gut/brain link is in working order 😕. I am working with a nutritionist to find solutions. I'll being these things up. Thank you.

I’ve been working in this field for 15 years… when I train helpers I ALWAYS tell them to never correct the person in need of help… if they say the sky is PURPLE… then agree no matter what!!!
My mother and several of her siblings all ended up with dementia (she had 8). My mother's was attributed to a lifetime of heavy smoking constricting the blood vessels in the brain and since I worked with her at an apt. complex I'd hear her repeating stories while talking to tenants in her office (sometimes more than once in the same conversation). It was hard on the family as she would get up in the middle of the night and leave thinking she was on her way to work so eventually she was put in a place where they could keep an eye on her. Sadly, this ended up being several establishments before finding the decent one (some had very lax care, theft by employees, ect). She spent the last 10 years of her life this way but I think it started long before then. She passed away at 79 of congestive heart failure. I feel that will be my fate as well as I am now 67.
Thank you very muchly for sharing this important information with us all.
Take care too everyone. ♥️🙂🐶
Very glad to be of help.
@@Drberg 👍🤗❤🙂🐶
The first two minutes of this video expresses the worst part of this disease. The frustration and hopelessness of not being able to communicate with the afflicted person, especially a parent, about memories, questions you need answered, really anything you want or need to communicate with them. In the end you are left feeling cheated, abandoned, alone with so many unanswered questions and thoughts every day.
Glad I watched this because my 85 yr.old uncle is having memory loss and I have been correcting them. I will stop and ignore it. Thank you Doctor
My memory has been bad all my life, but I eat right, exercise , and am fairly healthy. My mom has Alzheimer’s now, but she was active, outgoing, ate healthy foods. My dad had signs of Alzheimer’s, but had a heart attack a year before turning 65 and retiring. I never remember things, really awful with names and directions. But that’s how it’s been all my life.
My mom passed at the young age of 62, of frontal lobe dementia… she was diagnosed at 57… it’s debilitating to say the least, yes the language is one of the 1 st signs also communication in general.. bless those of you going thru this 🙏💕❤️
My Mom is going thru this now and my Dad passed with it. Thx for posting.
I find it interesting to answer the constant stream of the same questions, by saying the same answer but in a different way each time, it makes the conversation more fun and less repetitive.
Honestly, from what I've seen, in friends and relatives? Not changing up the daily routine stagnates the brain. And the worst is rumination. People get stuck in a thought pattern that has no resolution. They just won't let it go and keep thinking and talking about it. "Why/how could he do this to me?" "Why do people say such awful things to me?"
I believe not changing up the routine and engaging in the same thoughts, incessantly, really do a number on the brain. It's like ruts and ditches are dug that lead to nowhere.
From what I understand, it's not hard to stimulate the brain to build new neural pathways. Just take a different route home from work. Or look at a map and try to figure out how to get somewhere without using the GPS. Travel from time to time and meet new people or even better, take a look at other cultures. Learn a new card game. Develop gratitude. And one that I believe does wonders: meditation.
It helps ,that’s if u can travel.
@@susanbrown2909 yes, but doing anything to break up the routine is useful. A routine is great to maintain order and for goal-setting. It's vital. But every now and then, doing something completely different is very refreshing and helpful to the mind.
It’s heart warming to see you give a shout-out to Lions Mane! Thank you Dr Berg. It’s a remarkable mushroom.
What a great channel you have here dear.
Amazing work again, thank you for the great info! I must also add....Mediterranean diet works VERY well to get a lot of these needed vitamins. Olive oil, fish, fresh veggies, cheese, organic wheat pasta, olive tapenade. A lot of the people that live in South of France, Italy, Greece live the longest with great diets.
A few years ago I lost my grandmother, she also had alzheimers, completely forgot who we where, who my father was or any of his brothers, his sister, her only daughter, her husband....everyone was hurt by that, even me her first grandson, she practically raised me the first 5 years of my life, not knowing who I was hurt, but there was nothing she could do about it and one day in the retirement home she just got up keeled over and died. At the funeral i suddenly had an "Epiphany" if that is the word, just like all of the family I was sitting next to the casket, and we had a view towards the public, literally over a thousand people lined up in church for her and the funny part was I knew most of them some barely because I had seen them once or twice some better off course and then it hit me, my grandmother was one of those love above all grandmothers, it didn't matter where you came from or who you where if you visited her she would make sure you would leave with a full belly and a pocket full of candy (Yeah I know it's where I got my sugarhabit and why I now follow your diet), to her food was a way of showing love, you know these grandmothers I am sure, your belly is full you can't eat another bite and she fills your plate and says eat eat, you skinny boy.... All those people knew her like that this woman had two steel knees, a plastic hip, artritis, cataract....her body was shutting down physically and giving her all kinds of pains, but she loved us and all of those people so much she would fight the Grim reaper as hard as she couldn't because she couldn't stop loving all of us....All those people where there to say goodbye to 1 person and had eachother for comfort, she would have to say goodbye to all of them and would go through it alone,
So I comfort myself with this thought, Yes Alzheimer is a B**ch, it's cruel, it's heartless but maybe it was designed (By nature, or by a higher force if you care to believe that) for people who can't stop loving, who will endure all the physical pain you can give them they won't quit on you, they can't so they have to forget, forget everyone they ever loved just so they would come quietly, I like to think that the moment she keeled over and died that she forgot about the last person she ever cared about and her body said come it's time to go, and she went.
Hearing that she was not only your wifes mother but her best friend I know she was in the same category as those dear old grandmothers that won't go quietly because she has so many loved ones to lose, or just one like her daughter, maybe she had to forget.
I know it's lame, not scientific and definitely there will be exceptions, but it's my comforting thought of how my grandmother left and why she forgot who we where, she died a fighting for love, fiercer than any warrior, this lioness would protect her cubs and pride making sure they are well fed (even with carbs and sugar) and ready to face the world at all times. Only Alzheimers could make her stop fighting
Please make video on how to avoid dementia or what steps to take to heal from dementia ?
Wow! Thank you so much for this fantastic video!
Love watching all ur video's they have helped me alot. Thank you so much
Very glad to be of help.
My mum had vascular dementia and she in the end had to go into assisted care as she couldn’t cope at home any longer.
She passed 2 years ago from a heart attack and although I was devastated at the time now i think it’s the best thing that could have happened to her, the thought of end stage dementia haunted me for many years.
I feel desperately sorry for anyone and their families going through this, it is a cruel nasty Illness.
If I’m ever diagnosed with dementia I’m going straight to Dignitas and ending it. No way do I want to regress back to a helpless baby, confused and unable to dress or feed myself or know My loved ones faces. All memories disappeared. I’d rather die.
What is Dignitas? I have told my children and husband if I get alzheimers and get bad, I may end it before I get to the point of not even realizing I have it.
@@deebell8727 It is a organisation in Switzerland that provides assistance with suicide.
