Alzheimer's is something worth looking into under a different light, understand what the normal human frequency is otherwise find the equilibrium. As the human frequency drops the human brain will shrink, the longer it's left the more in taters the brain will be. Early detection is best defence. When you find a person with Alzheimer's discover that persons frequency then up that persons frequency to what the equilibrium is. Test to find out what a younger persons freq is who doesn't have Alzheimer's and so on and so forth. To cut a long story short deliver the right charge of frequency through the fingers and yes, puff out his/her brain.
my dad from altzheimers .He ate very healthy.Never smoked.Never drank. He was super fit.He worked day and night and never had enough sleep.At the age of 55 he retired because he suddenly could not catch a ball and got worried.After this he was OK again but we think he already had it.he was very clever and could compensate for the things going wrong in his brain.At 75 he suddenly showed the sighns amd the docter said he was in the last stage it was over.The only factor in his life was the lack of sleep.

My aunt died from Alzheimer’s in 2008 and she never smoked, was slender, ate a Mediterranean diet, loved to learn new things and was a lifelong caregiver and she still got Alzheimer’s. Also re: concussions does this mean most athletes who have had concussions will get some form of dementia? How can doing all these things prevent the plaques that have been found in the brains of dementia patients? How are dementias divided into the different types such as Alzheimer’s, Body Lewy, etc. Thanks.
Alzheimer’s victims are genetically predisposed to get the disease. All of this advice is generally good but if you have parents, siblings, aunts and uncles who died from the disease then you are at greater risk. I am one of those people. Three of my older sisters died from Alzheimer’s as well as two aunts. We think it was my mother’s mother who carried the gene.
There are different heavy metals, other poisons, and every body is different and has different resistence + immune defense, weak points, and has different origins of their disease.
Yes it can be very enigmatic and seem unfair. I also knew a very dear old woman who was a gardener, mother of 6, slender, healthy without alcohol/smoking, only had some coffee and a little cake but otherwise all health foods, vegetarian, one of the finest Christians, wise, reading/learning, translating, making a comfortable, beautiful home and garden, early bedtime. There is very littl nutrients left in our soils today, and toxins are many, so it can happen to anyone. Hope your aunt had a good life before.

Just one thing I think you should have mentioned. Many people my age (over 60) could be low on B12 and it could cause serious memory defects among other things. A lot of doctors don't even think of this.
Genes may load the gun, but lifestyle and diet pulls the trigger. There's strong evidence that healthy lifestyle habits - such as diet, exercise and not smoking - may play a role in reducing your risk of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.
I'm writing a graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten. Funny thing is decades ago Dr. Oz said Zocor was causing memory loss and then my mother parroted that to everyone, but later on when she said it to a nurse practitioner during his assessment of a MMSE, he said she was delusional for saying that and this nursing home that I had to fight in probate court for 2 months to get my mother out, used it as a way to imprison her in a lockdown unit.
No Melissa. I'm in new territory here and sometimes don't know how to deal with repeated questions. I try to be kind, but sometimes, I lose my cool - and I DON"T WANT TO! I'm not an unkind person
@@zenith808 - I’m working on 6 short videos now for caregivers. They will be out in a few weeks. In the meantime, have you watched the episode on dealing with Repetitive Behaviors? I’ll find the link and post it here for you
@@MelissaBPhD my mother taught my father to read and write again when he got bad to a certain exent he learned new things again all the time he played soccer every day and became very good and ran fast but when he walked it was a very slow shuffle .my mother did new things like teaching him to dance to music again and keep rhytm with his foot and certain exercises and he learned them very fast and well but the other symtoms of him not regocnizing people and tearing his clothes and speach that we could not hear and struggeling to eat and losing power over his body cradually increased over the years.But she carried on teaching him.In the end they could still cmmunicate with certain noises he made to indicate things and he held her hand all the time when he could.He was aware of us even when he was in the end incapable of moving or responding
I'm 62 years old. I've experienced frozen shoulder and neck pain 3 times, seems every 1 year in past 3 years. Could it because I'm old I experience this? As for memory, I'm not able to remember how to drive from one place to another since young, but now that there's waze, it's getting better.
I Have vascular dementia that presents like Alzheimer’s, but is not. Take care of yourself, and follow this advice you are listening to. However, I-had chronic high blood pressure and did nottake care of myself, or follow my Drs. Advice. My Mother died from the same condition 🥺
My younger brother got Alzheimer DX. This is the 3rd case in my family. Your infomation is excellent for me at this point. Thank you very much. Please send me the link for stay connected. That activity is something I love but hard to do for me in a New country , I live now. Thanks again.
We cant or must not close the door fully on the genetics. The dominant inheritance genes that are very rare are a different story. But the more common genes like APOE 4 are subject to at least partial amelioration through the lifestyle choices or epigenetics. But at the same time it must be borne in mind that nothing gives you absolute immunity. Despite doing these tips religiously if you are that unlucky AD would still hit you but then it would be later on and a not as severe so all hope is not lost. Brain is the Holy Grail for anti aging and prevention of AD and anti aging are synonyms. The most powerful and less well known fact is POSITIVE ATTITUDE towards life and becoming old. If you welcome the old age and are happy to grow old you would be far less likely to get it. If you are going to keep sulking about it you are in big trouble, The positive attitude is likely the most dominant fact.
Exactly. Our healthcare system needs to shift to preventing chronic illness (through lifestyle choices) rather than waiting for the diagnosis that requires medication. Thank you for tuning in to the podcast!
Horrors, I am 75 and take no drugs. There are always alternatives. Wheat bag for my knee that sometimes lets me know I am not a teenager anymore. Aquarobics three times a week with lots of fun and laughter, doing my own shopping and driving and mow my own lawns (3/4 of an acre) . Old is a state of mind, ignore it and you will stay healthy
Do you know where these pharmaceutical companies keep all that money I think I could use some of that, I would find some way to pilfer some Just let me know where it is ?
@@TinekeWilliams Me, too. I'm in my 70s, and the only prescriptions I take are a thyroid medication and glaucoma drops for my eyes. I rarely use an over-the-counter oral pain reliever such as Aleve. More often, I use a pain lotion or pain cream on sore areas, heat liniment, or Biofreeze. I take after my dad in this area, as he didn't believe in popping a lot of pills and rarely saw a doctor for anything. His mind stayed sharp and lucid right up to the day he died. Good mental acuity into old age on my mother's side, as well. Aside from the occasional "senior moment", I still find I have all of my faculties. If I do temporarily forget some small fact, like the name of a flower in my garden, I always manage to remember it later. I do crossword puzzles and variety puzzles to keep my mind sharp. I'm not worried. The only thing I have trouble with is some of today's needlessly overly complicated technology, and poorly written "instructions", WHEN any instructions are provided, at all! Hubby and I just finished assembling an apparatus that came with NO directions, whatsoever -- we figured it out, but it's customary to provide instructions with products that require assembling. We find this a lot, these days -- no instructions. This is more than a little exasperating, and understandably so.
Thank you Melissa, My mother was diagnosed with dementia when she was 69 years old later it changed into Alziemerz. I took care of her for 15 years until she passed away at age 94. I am always worried to get Alziemerz. I am 74 years old. Do 74 year old people get Alziemerz?
By the time we are 85, we have a 50% chance of having some form (and at varying levels) of a cognitive impairment. Not all will be Alzheimer’s. Best thing is to stay active, socially engaged and see your provider once a year to make sure you’re doing all you can. You may consider seeing an Integrative Medicine specialist - here’s a link to learn more about that as an option: ua-cam.com/video/y2RJe1eEjUU/v-deo.html
If you liked this video, you may also be interested to know that it's estimated that 45 million out of the 328 million people in the U.S. will have Alzheimers! That's 13.7%!!
The activity issue is definitely true. I'm a writer and I find my imagination works better when I'm at work; and there's a lot of moving about. Only problem is, I can't just stop and start scribbling down what I want to remember. I explained it to my doctor and he thought it was interesting. "The back wheel of a bike won't move unless the front wheel is going. There IS an interconnection between physical exercise and mental acuity. On the other hand, I'm not sure such things are a 100% guarantee for preventing Alzheimer's. In the movie *Still Alice* , the leading character was physically active AND intellectually sharp. She got early onset Alzheimer's from her father's side of the family. Eventually, she was no longer running and barely talking.
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that gut health can certainly play a role in Alzheimer's! Functional medicine is an amazing tool to reverse Alzheimer's. It involves looking at the root cause(s) behind illness, and healing the gut is a part of that!
Great information. I really like the list and then I was able to see and then follow along with your description. However, I must tell you that the background you use makes you look like you’re in prison. It does not give me a good feel. Not the first video of yours that I have seen with the same background.
1. you need to stay active, move naturally 1:18 2. stay connected 2:13 3. learn new things 3:05 4. get enough sleep 4:09 5. you need to eat & drink well 5:05 6. safety first 7:10 7. stop smoking 8:05 8. see your primary care provider 8:44 9. know your numbers 9:31 10. mind your medication 10:58 Psalm 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Continued : Learning new things, eat and drink well, safty first ( l have to use a walker, due to a condition, scolliosis), and that's about all of the recommendations l follow that you recommended. My husband has dementia, and regretfully, l am probably headed that way. Oh well, C'est la vie !
If you're interested in looking for possible root causes behind Alzheimer's, look at the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen at Duke University! He looks at possible causes like: pathogens/gut infections, intestinal permeability of the gut (leaky gut), microbiome imbalances, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and toxin exposures!
Steps 2 prevent alzheimer's 1. stay active 2. stay connected 2 family, friends, community 3. learn n do things like take classses at a community college, learnin new skills..... 4. get enough sleep 5. eat n drink well, eat heart healthy, non processed food, obesity risk factor 6. safety 1st, prevent falls 7. don't smoke 8. c primary care providr - blood drawn n memory screening......... 9. know ur numbers, obesity, diebetes, high blood pressure, cholosterol, BMI 10. mind medications
My husband and I have been separated for 15 years but due to a dementia diagnosis I have become a roommate in that he is needing someone to watch him for safety sake. I’m having trouble figuring out my roll boundaries. He obviously is forgetting who I am as he asks if I’ve ever seen our sons pictures. He misses his deceased friends terribly and talks of friendships missed. He was not very extroverted when younger. Misses summer and keeps asking for when spring is , next week.? What do I do if he becomes angry with me over being made to relinquish driving licence? He has had geriatric tests and it’s all confirmed and diagnosed. Parkinson’s is running in family of his uncles but is skipping him and his siblings. I worry for our sons.
A person can suffer brain damage due to drug addiction and alcoholism. But your grandfather probably has the gene. There is a town in Colombia called Yarumal where much of the population suffers from Alzheimers. Scientists says it’s a “natural laboratory” for the study of this type of dementia.
Hi, if you weeks ago I had a CT scan or CAT scan one of those they found 50 spots actually 50 white spots on my brain. The doctor told me that in the future I don’t know how long is that but he say that I can start losing memory I am asking what can I do about that he couldn’t answer it, so what do you recommend and how serious is this? Thank you for your video.
I had a business where I saw the same group of people every two weeks. In my 35 years the one thing I noticed is the heavy drinkers all ended up with what was called dementia then. When they realized they were losing it, they drank more. Booze is definitely related to Alzheimer's.
My father never drank never smoked was super fit ate healthy it was only not sleeping enough Slept very little and that is all i can think off that vould cause it
It’s really hard I’ve chosen the hard path and stated smoking and I can’t say how hard it is it’s a difficult addiction maybe one of the most and is their any therapy you might know of to stop the cravings? I can’t stop for 3 hours it’s just the worst life style in fact it’s depressing
So far this is the only one that bothered me so far. I'm seventy and have fallen three time this year and split my head open twice. Don't remember what happened. It's annoying because I live alone and don't want to be interfered with by outsiders so I've told no one about it.
India has zero Alzheimer's and dementia. Why? Tumeric and cucermin. I asked my Dr why? Because The American Medical Association cannot make money off of it!
1:18 Stay active. Move naturally. 10,000 steps a day + strength and flexibility. 2:15 Stay connected. Family, friends, community. "Social inactivity = a pack of cigarettes a day." 3:08 Learn new things. Classes, online courses, new skills, a new hobby... 4:10 Get enough sleep. 5:07 Eat and drink well. Heart-healthy, non-processed, plant foods, natural... low alcohol if at all. 7:07 Safety first. safety belt, helmet. Prevent falls. 8:05 Don't smoke. Or quit. Also quit smoking. And don't smoke. Avoid tobacco. 8:49 Annual check-up. Watch her ten signs video. 9:30 Know your numbers. (?) Blood pressure, BMI... 11:02 Mind your medications. Have your primary care provider check them. Clearly, she has seven good items. She can't quite bring herself to say Don't overmedicate.
Thanks. I was looking for a list. The keys to good health are the same regardless of the disease that is being discussed. Prevention for all is a copy/paste.
If you're interested in research that looks at possible root causes for Alzheimer's, check out the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen. He had a 2018 study in the Journal of Alzheimers Disease & Parkinsonism. The study is titled: "Reversal of Cognitive Decline: 100 patients." It's fascinating stuff!
This is all BS! My mom was diagnosed at 70, and died from Alzheimer’s at 83 severely demented. She ate healthy, exercised regularly, was a lifelong learner! Because Alzheimer’s has only emerged over the last 100 years, it must be related to the crap, low fat, high carb diet the the government has recommended we eat since the 1970’s! Cut out the seed oils, the processed foods, all sugars! Eat a low carb, high fat and moderate protein diet, eat practice intermittent fasting, yes..and exercise which was in the list! Obviously big Pharma and their prophets and pushers have ZERO answers! It is caused by a deadly diet that has been pushed on us and our children! Obesity is at 40% in the USA!?! We are the most unhealthy nation on earth! Take responsibility for what goes in your pie hole! There are no miracle pills coming!
My mother Betty has Alzheimer’s now she used to have dementia so I know that I am going to lose my mother eventually from Alzheimer’s . My mother is going to be 93 years old in July. My mother Betty keeps repeating about certain things like how is the weather. My mother Betty should be drinking water instead of ice tea ☕️. My mother Betty fell over their old dog 🐕 Bogart because she was probably not paying attention to what she was doing and watching where she was stepping. My mother Betty needs to take all her medicine that her doctor prescribes for her. My mother Betty needs to get a lot of sleep 🛏. Yours truly, Leah karlsen
Meanwhile the elderly are tucked away all alone in hospitals and homes for the elderly then jabbed with poisonous shots --many more have died due to suicide and giving up because of this very unnecessary lockdown junk......but otherwise it's good advice...thanks...

Genes may load the gun, but lifestyle and diet pulls the trigger. There's strong evidence that healthy lifestyle habits - such as diet, exercise and not smoking - may play a role in reducing your risk of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.
Thanks for the most valuable information.
Thank you for all the great information
Thank you so much Melissa 💓
Thank you for the information! Much appreciated!
IF WE HAVE FAMILY WITH THIS DESEASE HEREDITARY IS A RISKS FOR SOME OF US OR EVERY ONE
NOT MEDICINES. THANKS
Thanks lovely doctor. I got answers to my questions in the comments from your last video. Very useful 👌 thank you
I'm writing a graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten. Funny thing is decades ago Dr. Oz said Zocor was causing memory loss and then my mother parroted that to everyone, but later on when she said it to a nurse practitioner during his assessment of a MMSE, he said she was delusional for saying that and this nursing home that I had to fight in probate court for 2 months to get my mother out, used it as a way to imprison her in a lockdown unit.
great video, thank you for the knowledge and research
Thank you Doctor
Thanks. It's practical and easy.
Please could you do a topic on us caregivers. How should we deal with people who have alzheimer's? Thank you
Do you have a specific question about interacting with them?
No Melissa. I'm in new territory here and sometimes don't know how to deal with repeated questions. I try to be kind, but sometimes, I lose my cool - and I DON"T WANT TO! I'm not an unkind person
@@zenith808 - I’m working on 6 short videos now for caregivers. They will be out in a few weeks. In the meantime, have you watched the episode on dealing with Repetitive Behaviors? I’ll find the link and post it here for you
@@zenith808 check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/X10PYgGuHn8/v-deo.html
@@MelissaBPhD my mother taught my father to read and write again when he got bad to a certain exent he learned new things again all the time he played soccer every day and became very good and ran fast but when he walked it was a very slow shuffle .my mother did new things like teaching him to dance to music again and keep rhytm with his foot and certain exercises and he learned them very fast and well but the other symtoms of him not regocnizing people and tearing his clothes and speach that we could not hear and struggeling to eat and losing power over his body cradually increased over the years.But she carried on teaching him.In the end they could still cmmunicate with certain noises he made to indicate things and he held her hand all the time when he could.He was aware of us even when he was in the end incapable of moving or responding
Why anyone would give this a thumbs down amazes me!
A thumbs down would be from someone who is ignorant. No other excuse.
Maybe they know somebody with the disease, and they feel hopeless.
I'm 62 years old. I've experienced frozen shoulder and neck pain 3 times, seems every 1 year in past 3 years. Could it because I'm old I experience this? As for memory, I'm not able to remember how to drive from one place to another since young, but now that there's waze, it's getting better.
No problem.. you'd get better.. follow these advices and most importantly believe on em
Find an exercise via you tube....it can easily be cured...
Dr. Bernstein talks about how he had a Frozen shoulder problem.
Gratitude Galore! Detailed. Relevant. Elaborated where necessary. Powerful imagery through choice of vocabulary. Impressive!
I Have vascular dementia that presents like Alzheimer’s, but is not. Take care of yourself, and follow this advice you are listening to. However, I-had chronic high blood pressure and did nottake care of myself, or follow my Drs. Advice. My Mother died from the same condition 🥺
My younger brother got Alzheimer DX. This is the 3rd case in my family. Your infomation is excellent for me at this point. Thank you very much.
Please send me the link for stay connected. That activity is something I love but hard to do for me in a New country , I live now. Thanks again.
Excellent information. Thank you.
Thanks 😊
One of the only good things about Dementia is that you meet new people everyday.
lmao
Great job and very informative. Thank you!
We cant or must not close the door fully on the genetics. The dominant inheritance genes that are very rare are a different story. But the more common genes like APOE 4 are subject to at least partial amelioration through the lifestyle choices or epigenetics. But at the same time it must be borne in mind that nothing gives you absolute immunity. Despite doing these tips religiously if you are that unlucky AD would still hit you but then it would be later on and a not as severe so all hope is not lost. Brain is the Holy Grail for anti aging and prevention of AD and anti aging are synonyms. The most powerful and less well known fact is POSITIVE ATTITUDE towards life and becoming old. If you welcome the old age and are happy to grow old you would be far less likely to get it. If you are going to keep sulking about it you are in big trouble, The positive attitude is likely the most dominant fact.
Good video. No fluff. Straight to the point.

Five medications a day as an average? That’s insane. The pharmaceutical companies are making a huge amount of money from this.
Exactly. Our healthcare system needs to shift to preventing chronic illness (through lifestyle choices) rather than waiting for the diagnosis that requires medication. Thank you for tuning in to the podcast!
Horrors, I am 75 and take no drugs. There are always alternatives. Wheat bag for my knee that sometimes lets me know I am not a teenager anymore. Aquarobics three times a week with lots of fun and laughter, doing my own shopping and driving and mow my own lawns (3/4 of an acre) . Old is a state of mind, ignore it and you will stay healthy
Do you know where these pharmaceutical companies keep all that money I think I could use some of that, I would find some way to pilfer some Just let me know where it is ?
@@susanharri4805 He can cure a bit much, cannot he?
@@TinekeWilliams Me, too. I'm in my 70s, and the only prescriptions I take are a thyroid medication and glaucoma drops for my eyes. I rarely use an over-the-counter oral pain reliever such as Aleve. More often, I use a pain lotion or pain cream on sore areas, heat liniment, or Biofreeze. I take after my dad in this area, as he didn't believe in popping a lot of pills and rarely saw a doctor for anything. His mind stayed sharp and lucid right up to the day he died. Good mental acuity into old age on my mother's side, as well. Aside from the occasional "senior moment", I still find I have all of my faculties. If I do temporarily forget some small fact, like the name of a flower in my garden, I always manage to remember it later. I do crossword puzzles and variety puzzles to keep my mind sharp. I'm not worried.
The only thing I have trouble with is some of today's needlessly overly complicated technology, and poorly written "instructions", WHEN any instructions are provided, at all!
Hubby and I just finished assembling an apparatus that came with NO directions, whatsoever -- we figured it out, but it's customary to provide instructions with products that require assembling. We find this a lot, these days -- no instructions. This is more than a little exasperating, and understandably so.
Thank you for the information.
Thank you Melissa, My mother was diagnosed with dementia when she was 69 years old later it changed into Alziemerz. I took care of her for 15 years until she passed away at age 94. I am always worried to get Alziemerz. I am 74 years old. Do 74 year old people get Alziemerz?
This is the way you spell ALZHEIMERS.
By the time we are 85, we have a 50% chance of having some form (and at varying levels) of a cognitive impairment. Not all will be Alzheimer’s. Best thing is to stay active, socially engaged and see your provider once a year to make sure you’re doing all you can. You may consider seeing an Integrative Medicine specialist - here’s a link to learn more about that as an option: ua-cam.com/video/y2RJe1eEjUU/v-deo.html
Thanks 🙏 good info
Good information in this video. Thank you
Thanks for the info, very interesting...
Very helpful... thank you
Than you very much for practical guide for Alzheimer’s. Excellent you tube.
Very helpful. Thank you!
If you liked this video, you may also be interested to know that it's estimated that 45 million out of the 328 million people in the U.S. will have Alzheimers! That's 13.7%!!
Thanks for the good video. I wish I would have educated myself earlier in life

The activity issue is definitely true. I'm a writer and I find my imagination works better when I'm at work; and there's a lot of moving about. Only problem is, I can't just stop and start scribbling down what I want to remember.
I explained it to my doctor and he thought it was interesting. "The back wheel of a bike won't move unless the front wheel is going. There IS an interconnection between physical exercise and mental acuity.
On the other hand, I'm not sure such things are a 100% guarantee for preventing Alzheimer's. In the movie *Still Alice* , the leading character was physically active AND intellectually sharp. She got early onset Alzheimer's from her father's side of the family. Eventually, she was no longer running and barely talking.
Diet plays a big role too..
No
Thanks doctor
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that gut health can certainly play a role in Alzheimer's! Functional medicine is an amazing tool to reverse Alzheimer's. It involves looking at the root cause(s) behind illness, and healing the gut is a part of that!
Great information. I really like the list and then I was able to see and then follow along with your description. However, I must tell you that the background you use makes you look like you’re in prison. It does not give me a good feel. Not the first video of yours that I have seen with the same background.
Thanks Dr Milissa.

Thanks I didn’t want to watch the entire vlog
Thanks. Unusually effective.
Very informative. Thank you
Thank- you, Melissa.
I don't do many of the recommendations you mentioned.
The only ones l follow as a rule, are
Continued : Learning new things, eat and drink well, safty first ( l have to use a walker, due to a condition, scolliosis), and that's about all of the recommendations l follow that you recommended. My husband has dementia, and regretfully, l am probably headed that way. Oh well, C'est la vie !

What about sugars?
Great video!
If you're interested in looking for possible root causes behind Alzheimer's, look at the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen at Duke University! He looks at possible causes like: pathogens/gut infections, intestinal permeability of the gut (leaky gut), microbiome imbalances, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and toxin exposures!

My husband and I have been separated for 15 years but due to a dementia diagnosis I have become a roommate in that he is needing someone to watch him for safety sake. I’m having trouble figuring out my roll boundaries. He obviously is forgetting who I am as he asks if I’ve ever seen our sons pictures. He misses his deceased friends terribly and talks of friendships missed. He was not very extroverted when younger. Misses summer and keeps asking for when spring is , next week.? What do I do if he becomes angry with me over being made to relinquish driving licence? He has had geriatric tests and it’s all confirmed and diagnosed. Parkinson’s is running in family of his uncles but is skipping him and his siblings. I worry for our sons.
Thank you
My grandfather is an active person good health then he suddenly had Alzheimer. I think it’s hard to avoid this.
Take tumeric and cucermin, no Alzheimer's!
A person can suffer brain damage due to drug addiction and alcoholism. But your grandfather probably has the gene. There is a town in Colombia called Yarumal
where much of the population suffers from Alzheimers. Scientists says it’s a “natural laboratory” for the study of this type of dementia.
The background is very distracting, content is valuable.
Very interesting this informations so much.God bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲

Hi, if you weeks ago I had a CT scan or CAT scan one of those they found 50 spots actually 50 white spots on my brain. The doctor told me that in the future I don’t know how long is that but he say that I can start losing memory I am asking what can I do about that he couldn’t answer it, so what do you recommend and how serious is this? Thank you for your video.
Thanks so much for this. 🙏🏼💕
I had a business where I saw the same group of people every two weeks. In my 35 years the one thing I noticed is the heavy drinkers all ended up with what was called dementia then. When they realized they were losing it, they drank more. Booze is definitely related to Alzheimer's.
My father never drank never smoked was super fit ate healthy it was only not sleeping enough Slept very little and that is all i can think off that vould cause it
@@julieprinsloo2232 uh oh. That's definitely me
It’s really hard I’ve chosen the hard path and stated smoking and I can’t say how hard it is it’s a difficult addiction maybe one of the most and is their any therapy you might know of to stop the cravings? I can’t stop for 3 hours it’s just the worst life style in fact it’s depressing
I’d make an appointment with your health care provider. There are options to help you quit smoking that they can direct you to
I'm an RN and I definitely disagree with your ratio of 1 out of 3....You're way off...it's criminal to say this
Please share your information and sources. Thank you.
So far this is the only one that bothered me so far. I'm seventy and have fallen three time this year and split my head open twice. Don't remember what happened. It's annoying because I live alone and don't want to be interfered with by outsiders so I've told no one about it.
Hope u can stay healthy & open yourself to find ur circle.
India has zero Alzheimer's and dementia. Why? Tumeric and cucermin. I asked my Dr why?
Because The American Medical Association cannot make money off of it!
You fail to consider the poor senior .
Is taking melatonin a good idea if we have trouble sleeping?
Yes
Hard to take a person sitting in what appears to be a cage seriously……
1:18 Stay active. Move naturally. 10,000 steps a day + strength and flexibility.
2:15 Stay connected. Family, friends, community. "Social inactivity = a pack of cigarettes a day."
3:08 Learn new things. Classes, online courses, new skills, a new hobby...
4:10 Get enough sleep.
5:07 Eat and drink well. Heart-healthy, non-processed, plant foods, natural... low alcohol if at all.
7:07 Safety first. safety belt, helmet. Prevent falls.
8:05 Don't smoke. Or quit. Also quit smoking. And don't smoke. Avoid tobacco.
8:49 Annual check-up. Watch her ten signs video.
9:30 Know your numbers. (?) Blood pressure, BMI...
11:02 Mind your medications. Have your primary care provider check them.
Clearly, she has seven good items. She can't quite bring herself to say Don't overmedicate.
Thanks for adding the time stamps!
Take a note pad or a calculator. My guess is you will lose track and forget about 500 steps in. 😳😬😳😬
Thanks. I was looking for a list. The keys to good health are the same regardless of the disease that is being discussed. Prevention for all is a copy/paste.
Patients need to know what all theese numbers mean!
I've lived 22 years without it. So thank you.
Thanks for the info I preached it thank you.
If you're interested in research that looks at possible root causes for Alzheimer's, check out the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen. He had a 2018 study in the Journal of Alzheimers Disease & Parkinsonism. The study is titled: "Reversal of Cognitive Decline: 100 patients." It's fascinating stuff!
This is all BS! My mom was diagnosed at 70, and died from Alzheimer’s at 83 severely demented. She ate healthy, exercised regularly, was a lifelong learner! Because Alzheimer’s has only emerged over the last 100 years, it must be related to the crap, low fat, high carb diet the the government has recommended we eat since the 1970’s! Cut out the seed oils, the processed foods, all sugars! Eat a low carb, high fat and moderate protein diet, eat practice intermittent fasting, yes..and exercise which was in the list! Obviously big Pharma and their prophets and pushers have ZERO answers! It is caused by a deadly diet that has been pushed on us and our children! Obesity is at 40% in the USA!?! We are the most unhealthy nation on earth! Take responsibility for what goes in your pie hole! There are no miracle pills coming!
Thanks you so much my mother have Azhamers great video .
What if the sleep disruption is the symptom or effect of early AD than the cause of the condition?
Naww, flaky grammar is the effect. Sleep knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care, remember?
great info
Sorry, I have doubts about this.
10,000 steps funny I walk and ride the bus, haul litter, dry foods. Gets old. .
Thank you.
you're awesum ma'am
My mother Betty has Alzheimer’s now she used to have dementia so I know that I am going to lose my mother eventually from Alzheimer’s . My mother is going to be 93 years old in July. My mother Betty keeps repeating about certain things like how is the weather. My mother Betty should be drinking water instead of ice tea ☕️. My mother Betty fell over their old dog 🐕 Bogart because she was probably not paying attention to what she was doing and watching where she was stepping. My mother Betty needs to take all her medicine that her doctor prescribes for her. My mother Betty needs to get a lot of sleep 🛏.

Meanwhile the elderly are tucked away all alone in hospitals and homes for the elderly then jabbed with poisonous shots --many more have died due to suicide and giving up because of this very unnecessary lockdown junk......but otherwise it's good advice...thanks...
