I am a personal support worker. I am now retired but for twenty years, l provided respite care for families whose loved ones had Alzheimer’s disease or some form of dementia. After spending time with a client, l could tell if they had Alzheimers specifically. Some people have memory loss due to strokes, tumours, acquired brain injury and there are others. I spent time with clients who were university educated or not, people who sought out and thrived on intellectual stimulation, or didn’t, people who ate lots of sugar or didn’t, people who maintained very healthy diets and exercised regularly and those who didn’t, people who read voraciously, socialized frequently and those who didn’t, people who were overweight and those who were slim and fit, people who smoked and those who didn’t. I can honestly say that l have not, after all these years seen any standout co- relation between those who are seen as predisposed to Alzheimers and those who are not. Believe me, I’ve given this plenty of thought. We( mostly) know that it’s best to be mentally stimulated, to exercise regularly, to follow a healthy diet( Mediterranean) for example, to avoid alcohol, drugs, fats and sugars, to remain active and social, to get proper sleep, to try to reduce stress. I know people who were fit and active and extremely bright. They got Alzheimers. I’m fully aware that it’s in a person’s best interest to maintain a very healthy lifestyle. I’ve never actually seen stats showing the co-relation between heathy or unhealthy individuals and Alzheimers. I’m sure there is a plethora of stats. I’ve always read that your chances of getting Alzheimer’s disease are lesser if you are mentally and physically fit. This may very well be the case. I’m just not seeing it in all my years of spending endless hours ( years) with my Alzheimers clients/friends. I also question these remarkable ‘cures’ that l read about. I just watched a Ted Talk last week about the amazing improvements in the husband who had Alzheimers when his wife who was a Dr. who specialized in neonatal research l believe, started having him ingest coconut oil.( 7 teaspoons a day). She claimed that he basically was back to normal! I’ve heard about this coconut thing before, and I’ll hear about it again. This highly intelligent woman was giving a Ted Talk on the curing effects of coconut oil in the treatment of Alzheimers. This was combined with MCT oil. The Dr’s name is Mary T Newport. If this, amongst other highly recommended cures, why oh why are we not hearing about this miracle treatment world wide. My sister was, half a year ago, diagnosed with Alzheimers. Brain scan images showed damaged ares of her brain. Is there a single soul who doesn’t think l want the best for my sister? I will tell her about what I’ve heard. Do l want her to watch Dr. Newport’s Ted Talk? No, l don’t. Simply because l don’t want to give her false hope. She is my beautiful, youthful, athletic, former nurse, sister. Her brain is damaged. She will deteriorate and die. She is 68. She is very depressed. She is skin and bones. She has an excellent Dr.whom she likes and respects. She takes an anti depressant. Our family thinks about the tremendous amount of stress she has had in her life and wonder- could this be a factor. I wish 7 tablespoons of coconut oil and MCT, could cure her like Dr. Newport claims cured her husband. I will tell her and her husband about it but l don’t have my hopes up. Why? As l said earlier, if this was a true cure, billions of people would be doing it at the recommendation of their physicians.
Thank you for posting this. I saw the same video last week and was excited about that. I think it’s genetic. There’s a specific gene you can test for with 23 and me. Luckily I don’t have it but they have not mapped out all of the genes that relate to Alzheimer’s. I hope you can get something that works for your sister. I’m just gonna go ahead and start taking more MCT oil and coconut oil to be on the safe side. Also fish oil. EPA is in it.
Thank you Wendy Crawford for your comments. There are many diseases and testimonies that have been cured through diets, lifestyle, oils, etc. I deeply research them and know they are true because the people are still alive. If we only depend on traditional medical society, we might not be getting all that is available to help us. Medication, with their horrible side effects are horrible no matter what the disease. Maybe use both. We are finding alternatives to medicines from doctors and it is impacting the money the pharmaceutical companies are making and if they know the cure might not let you know. That’s why we have to do the work. It’s hard. I’m wanting the best for myself and for others. Hoping wellness for you and your family.
My mother had alz when she would stay with me for a couple months' I would give her couple spoons of Coconut oil. We also eat a lot of fish as I live on a tropical island. Soon she would be one more alert' active and so I'll engaged. When she returned to my siblings home' his do tor wife negated my suggestions and she would shut down. Were there other variables? Maybe. But I would continue gi I g er Co out oil if she was still with us.
My dad’s memory and personality had started to change and I saw that Ted talk by Dr Newport. My mom gives him a tablespoon of that coconut oil (mct oil) at every meal and now he is really close to his old self. If he misses the mct oil for a few days he is again cranky and really memory-impaired. We tried it and it works. He’s still slowly declining but not anywhere near as drastically as before. We feel very lucky to have found this
I've noticed that alzheimers is usually described as memory loss, but the one I know who died from it had the whole body eventually shut down from it. Their brain slowly forgot to operate the rest of their body, first memory, then speech, ability to walk, eat, then no swallowing, etc.
Yeah, that's how it evolves. It's just memory loss is the first noticeable symtom. It starts where memories are "formed", destroying brain cells, and it spreads to other parts of the brain. That's why, as you said, people lose different functions as Alzheimer progresses, until you shut down completely.
But not just memory loss! Mine started w/personality changes - nothing extreme or obvious- then I stopped driving, w/o any accidents or traumas. Most ppl wld not & don't think I have a problem- bec some things are easy to hide. But there's memory loss from 5, 10 yrs ago & I don't feel okay or right. The MRI showed definite problems & I've been feeling "off", weird, for a year+ now. I put my keys in the same place - usually!!- so I think there's more variety to pre-AD....

Learn to say in a positive manner. (For example: I was wondering if the lights systems in the background were done in a better manner viewers could enjoy more). The moment you mention a negative word your adrenal gland (a gland on top of the kidneys) starts oozing cortisol, the worry hormone. This hormone causes so many disease like Hypertension, Diabetes, Cancer, Alzheimer's, etc.
My guess was that he found that darker spot from walking around and decided to hang out there because (maybe) he could see a little bit more of audience from the Dark Spot. LoL
Getting Quality adequate sleep is key I think. What correlation does snoring, lack of oxygen, and sleep cycle disruption have with this disease. I read somewhere that our brain cleanses and restores its self During the sleep cycles.
There's never a single cause for anything as our organism is very complex and all processes are interconnected. Nice work to investigate this condition that makes so many people suffer, but treating the thing with more drugs doesn't seem to be the best way to care. I know CBD is incredible for treating the symptoms, but we need a desperate and massive change in lifestyle to prevent this and other diseases.
Dale Bredesen's "The End of Alzheimer's" is a great book on Alzheimer's." He goes through multiple causes, and how to address each causes. The one cause he left out is Auotoimmune Encephalopathy . The amyloid plaque appears to be protective. Drugs that just get rid of the plaque, kill people faster.
I wonder how much sugar plays in the development of dementia. My brother died last year at 67 from dementia. My cousin now 55 developed dementia in his mid to late 40s. They both craved sugar beyond logic. Two of my friends mom have dementia and they want cookies, cakes, anything sweet over healthy food. I notice whenever my potassium is low my sugar cravings is insane. I wonder if dementia is a symptom of MUCH needed vitamins and minerals and the plack is there as a substitute for the missing nutrient. My brother was at the point where everything he said came out as gibberish. I gave him a ton of B complex, mult-vitamin and minerals and cooked fresh real food and he returned to coherent speech. One day he told me he wanted to stop taking all those vitamins, probably because I made him drink water instead of the 6-7 sodas he drank. I stopped giving them to him and when covid hit, the nursing home along with dementia took him out.
My husband is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's disease. I speak with him over the phone as often as l am can, the staff, often too busy to bring him a cell phone.He rarely makes any sence, but for now, he h knows who l am. We will be together on Christmas day at our daughter's and son-in-law's million dollar mansion on a huge acerage again, and enjoy a few hours together. How l wished this brain disease never happened. Alzheimers, sadly is on a huge increase, according to the statistics. There are a lot of helpful, informative pieces of information about this terrible disease. I am always looking for information and hoping that there will eventually be a cure.
Sorry for your losses. What you're saying about the sugar describes alot of what I see with my loved one also. I'm refusing to give up. I just watched another video where she said the alzheimers brain has problems using/processing glucose properly and they do well on a keto diet rich with mct (medium chain triglyceride) oil. She said her husband improved notably on the screening tests even after the first day of treatment. Sadly my loved one will probably refuse the keto diet, but I'm still going to try the mct oil.
I learned more than what I knew before from Dr. Hanseeuw's presentation back in 2017, however I want to inquire and comment on two things: first, are there any results from the research he mentioned back in 2017 ?, if so where can I read more about it, second I felt I was listening more to a prosecutor in his presentation, nevertheless, I praise him for his research and dedication to ending these "criminals" of our minds.
My father got the diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Devastating. He was in a very nice nursing home - that kept feeding him SOY. Soy is in most foods fed to our seniors, and school age kids in their breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Cognitive impairments, poor concentration, memory problems, lethargy, over-emotional, not able to understand simple instructions, can't convey ideas, GI upset, anxiety and depression - can all be linked to SOY. Soy is not a food but a hormone de/regulator. If can adversely affect all of us (cattle act like they do - sedated, irritable, distracted - because of soy, so do dogs and cats when it is in their food) because it is not a food but a medicine. Soy should never be consumed unless it is fermented and then should only be eaten in small amounts. The end of this story is that when my dad wasn't eating soy - he didn't have "Alzheimer's or dementia", his memory was intact, he could tell you the name of everyone who worked in the nursing home and what they did, his sense of humor returned, and he didn't "mess in the bed", he was happy - he was Dad. So, before you dismiss someone as having Alzheimer's or dementia, eliminate SOY totally from their diet (read the ingredients of EVERYTHING because it is hidden in many foods as "protein"! Ensure and other liquid diets are the worst.), and see if they aren't *cured* of this insidious silent killer that robs years from their lives!
I totally agree about soy. When o consume a drug with soy ingredients I begin to have difficulty of memory and speaking. Stop soy will reverse situation. Also I read that L arginine which is an amino acid help also with health condition like dementia.
Until a "cure" there has been much research on the 3 pillars of health diet exercise and sleep, keeping the genes we have from expressing disease. Why not this disease. We all need to take our health into our own hands. Keep working at regulatating weight, moving and getting good quality sleep. We are so lucky to live in a time where help with all these issues is readily available. Good luck to all who read this. Stay motivated!
Low risk measures that MIGHT reduce age-related cognitive decline - physical exercise - mental exercise/stimulation - social interaction - limit alcohol to 1 drink per day - sleep hygiene (7.5 hours) and treatment of sleep apnea - optimal control of vascular risk factors: hypertension, obesity (especially central type), dyslipidemia, Mediterranean or DASH diet, smoking cessation Diet and lifestyle measures probably help for “mixed” dementia due to combination of vascular + degenerative disease. Advanced education appears to reduce risk. Acute medical problems (even severe constipation) and many medications (e.g., Benadryl) can cause abrupt deterioration in mental status for patients with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia. Without prompt attention, cognitive function may not return to normal after successful treatment of the problem or discontinuation of the medication.
Thank You TEDx and Dr. B. Hanseeuw, for sharing this very important information, Alzheimer, as I know this could only happens to old people, but I able to watch a Korean movie, and the story is about a young wife at her early thirties she had this Alzheimer Disease which later she died because of this disease. And that opens my mind that' this scary disease can happen to anyone at any age, and this presentation of yours, gives me hope that this incurable disease can be prevented, and thank you for sharing your expertise.
@mary ricker correct. the doctor speaker is promoting medicine. natural healing. instead of drug from big pharma. That is pharmaceutical industry back study, with scan, prevention, prescribing medicine, another windfall for pharma industry, like cancer.
@@ocvegasproperty Dr Dale Bredesen in his books, The End of Altzheimer's, and Programme, are the nearest that I have found. It's what we have been doing for about two years... I'm sure that my wife would be in a N/H by now if we hadn't...
Did you recomond any thing or how to controle or check Alzamiers disease. IT MEANS YOU ARE STILL IN RESEARCHING .anyway thank you for doing this extraordinary Research for the better metal health for humanity.👍👏👏👏
From other TED videos and other Neuro-psychology & brain biology research, we are finding that the potential best prevention is to create many more brain pathways during our lifetime, combined with allowing our brains to do a cleanup regularly. The regular cleanup comes from having enough regular deep sleep... And interestingly the route to creating more brain pathways also helps us to sleep better too! Amongst other things, the main tools are: regular exercise, good food, fresh air, meditation/mindfulness, stimulating social activities and regular life enriching education & activities which stretch us out of our comfort zones.
Very good and informative speech by Dr. Bernard Hanseeuw. These doctors, scientists and researchers are the real heroes and saviours in saving people's lives from this dreadful disease. Me being a person who's father is suffering from dementia, I know the miseries faced by dementia patients and challenges faced by family members to help save their loved ones, I wish people like Dr.Bernard Hanseeuw with all the very best of luck and my prayers to soon find a cure to end AD. 🙏🏼
Where are we in research for Alzheimer's disease? How far away is it? There is so much out there claiming that it will help you with your memory or cure Alzheimers..
And reverse insulin resistance. Should any sufferer with a history of the Herpes Simplex viral infection be taking anti viral medication for the rest of their lifetime ?
@@Chris-kr7gg Hello Craig, It's all in Dr Dale Bredesen's books, The End of Altzheimer's and Protocol. HSV1 and P. Gingivalis have I think been found in the brain of sufferers post mortem, and associated with the Amyloid plaques. My wife who has Altzheimer's has a history of recurring 'cold sores', and periodontitis. The latter associated with her pre diabetes. The former since her mother innoculated her shortly after she was born. About ten years ago she developed Herpes Zoster and took Acyclovir for a week, and has now been free of symptoms since. Some people in these circumstances decide to take a reduced dose of Acyclovir indefinitely.... Hope that this helps. ( I am a retired GP in the UK)!
@@grahamedwards6824 if only i had you as a GP when I was young herpes cold sores destroyed me and led me down a path of destruction, I was never offered prophylactic treatment and when I told the GP it was causing severs stress and depression as I was under attack up to tens times a year they sent me to mental health and I deteriorated from their I have had gum disease as I wasn't brushing my teeth after I caught cold sores properly from depression and pain and worry I was scared to come into contact with my sores incase I infected other parts of my body etc I am now exhibiting signs of demented behaviours and memory problems at 33 after having over 100 outbreaks of that virus and ended up eating awfully creating gut dysbiosis and no homeostasis I am in an awful way praying I can regain some quality of life.
Are amyloid and tau pathologies the underlying cause or do they simply correlate with memory loss. I was hoping he would bring it up and kind of disappointing not to see that important pieces of puzzle. And how do you prevent AD? Anything we learned from that research to help us prevent it. Is the trial on healthy individual part of this research ?
agent of pharma industry. alzheimerz preventive scan, prescribe maintenance preventive medicine, which has side effects, it's windfall for pharma industry.
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.
It's very fundamental. The brain is starving for decades due to poor diet. Trying to feed the brain with glucose only. Brain uses 20% of or energy. It becomes critical when insulin resistance develops. Brain needs plenty of ketones starting in the womb.
To self diagnose draw a clock face that says 2pm? With advanced dementia this task will be impossible, however when diet and lifestyle are improved then the ability to draw a clock also can improve.
Eat 2 tablespoons organic cold pressed coconut oil everyday as soon as you wake up , after brush, empty stomach. Within few weeks you can see lot lot of change.

What if it comes from just not properly using that area of your brain that deals with memory? If we train that area regularly then we shouldn't have any problems with it should we? It's like not training a muscle, it gets weaker the older you get. 🤔
Because short term memory goes first with Alzheimer's, long term memory is a lose it or lose it. Out of 70 cards I went from remembering 3 in order to at my best to doing 7 cards in random order. Check my channel out with the newest video. Good luck.

Why is it that no scientist is looking at what the hearing aids, (stuck in each ear and as close to the brain as can be), can do to a person wearing them. My husband had almost immediate problem (doctors suggested it was a TIA or mini stroke, but could not support this with all the tests done!) after changing to the new hearing aids batteries! He had five trips to the ER before he realized that each time he had 'an occurrence' he was wearing the hearing aids!!! Not using anything electric/magnetic on his ears any more but the damage has been done already! He has started some terrible form of dementia immediately after the first attack. No more hearing aids for him but who will return his memory, cognition, balance... his life??? He is improving now, not thanks to the local doctors but rather to Dr. Mary T. Newport from US (see her videos on UA-cam), and the coconut oil and some vitamins she has used for her own husband when hit with the quick onset dementia... Simple solutions sometimes work best! Perhaps this can find a way to help someone...
He has great English but his accent is quite hard to follow, and the killer/murder analogy was quite confusing, although he's so compelling he made me forget why I was watching this
dont make it a sensational disease wid d use of words like murderer. u hv not lost a beloved one to this horrible inhuman disrease to even begin to understand d pain.😔😔😣
Read Dale Bredesen's THE END OF ALZHEIMER'S. Not only about prevention but how to stop the decline and actually REVERSE Alzheimers. All based on decades of his own lab research and clinical trials. He also has some UA-cams.
Quite the analogy he chose 🤨🙄 Could he not have come up with some other less decretory example to describe this daunting disease?? How very Eastern European / American of him. 👎🏼
If you want to relieve the symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia disease take an eyebrow tweezers and remove the hair follicles from the patients hands, feet, and wrists. This should have an immediate effect on their well being.
Poor speaker - mispronounces many of the medical terms. Insensitive use of words like "death sentence", "killer" and "demented". Might make talk seem more interesting but not what you want to hear if you suffer from the condition. For the very elderly, most people will have other health problems (heart disease, cancer etc) and Alzheimer's disease may not be the cause of your death. Most research is carried out on amyloid without any success so far. Key is prevention - control blood pressure, eat healthily (e.g. Mediterranean diet), exercise and maintain a good weight from middle-age onwards. The cure is many years away.

This hormone causes so many disease like Hypertension, Diabetes, Cancer, Alzheimer's, etc.

@@maldives-joshuajoseph6032 thanks for the tip but I wasn’t being too serious.
Getting Quality adequate sleep is key I think. What correlation does snoring, lack of oxygen, and sleep cycle disruption have with this disease. I read somewhere that our brain cleanses and restores its self
During the sleep cycles.
There's never a single cause for anything as our organism is very complex and all processes are interconnected. Nice work to investigate this condition that makes so many people suffer, but treating the thing with more drugs doesn't seem to be the best way to care. I know CBD is incredible for treating the symptoms, but we need a desperate and massive change in lifestyle to prevent this and other diseases.
Dale Bredesen's "The End of Alzheimer's" is a great book on Alzheimer's." He goes through multiple causes, and how to address each causes. The one cause he left out is Auotoimmune Encephalopathy . The amyloid plaque appears to be protective. Drugs that just get rid of the plaque, kill people faster.
Excellent talk! A fresh mind searching for a cure. Thank you
I wonder how much sugar plays in the development of dementia. My brother died last year at 67 from dementia. My cousin now 55 developed dementia in his mid to late 40s. They both craved sugar beyond logic. Two of my friends mom have dementia and they want cookies, cakes, anything sweet over healthy food. I notice whenever my potassium is low my sugar cravings is insane. I wonder if dementia is a symptom of MUCH needed vitamins and minerals and the plack is there as a substitute for the missing nutrient. My brother was at the point where everything he said came out as gibberish. I gave him a ton of B complex, mult-vitamin and minerals and cooked fresh real food and he returned to coherent speech. One day he told me he wanted to stop taking all those vitamins, probably because I made him drink water instead of the 6-7 sodas he drank. I stopped giving them to him and when covid hit, the nursing home along with dementia took him out.
My husband is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's disease.
I speak with him over the phone as often as l am can, the staff, often too busy to bring him a cell phone.He rarely makes any sence, but for now, he h knows who l am. We will be together on Christmas day at our daughter's and son-in-law's million dollar mansion on a huge acerage again, and enjoy a few hours together. How l wished this brain disease never happened. Alzheimers, sadly is on a huge increase, according to the statistics. There are a lot of helpful, informative pieces of information about this terrible disease.
I am always looking for information and hoping that there will eventually be a cure.
@@suziquestionable2845 what's a mansion have to do with seeing your husband Christmas day ?
I wonder if more people could report and see if your theory is correct.
Sorry for your losses. What you're saying about the sugar describes alot of what I see with my loved one also. I'm refusing to give up. I just watched another video where she said the alzheimers brain has problems using/processing glucose properly and they do well on a keto diet rich with mct (medium chain triglyceride) oil. She said her husband improved notably on the screening tests even after the first day of treatment. Sadly my loved one will probably refuse the keto diet, but I'm still going to try the mct oil.
I learned more than what I knew before from Dr. Hanseeuw's presentation back in 2017, however I want to inquire and comment on two things: first, are there any results from the research he mentioned back in 2017 ?, if so where can I read more about it, second I felt I was listening more to a prosecutor in his presentation, nevertheless, I praise him for his research and dedication to ending these "criminals" of our minds.
Thanks most sincerely
My father got the diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Devastating. He was in a very nice nursing home - that kept feeding him SOY. Soy is in most foods fed to our seniors, and school age kids in their breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Cognitive impairments, poor concentration, memory problems, lethargy, over-emotional, not able to understand simple instructions, can't convey ideas, GI upset, anxiety and depression - can all be linked to SOY. Soy is not a food but a hormone de/regulator. If can adversely affect all of us (cattle act like they do - sedated, irritable, distracted - because of soy, so do dogs and cats when it is in their food) because it is not a food but a medicine. Soy should never be consumed unless it is fermented and then should only be eaten in small amounts. The end of this story is that when my dad wasn't eating soy - he didn't have "Alzheimer's or dementia", his memory was intact, he could tell you the name of everyone who worked in the nursing home and what they did, his sense of humor returned, and he didn't "mess in the bed", he was happy - he was Dad. So, before you dismiss someone as having Alzheimer's or dementia, eliminate SOY totally from their diet (read the ingredients of EVERYTHING because it is hidden in many foods as "protein"! Ensure and other liquid diets are the worst.), and see if they aren't *cured* of this insidious silent killer that robs years from their lives!
They have found a cure for alzheimer's disease at the sunnybrook hospital in Canada it's called focused ultrasound check it out on UA-cam good luck
Thank you so much for this information about soy! I am well-versed in food allergy information, but never heard of these symptoms related to soy.
I totally agree about soy. When o consume a drug with soy ingredients I begin to have difficulty of memory and speaking. Stop soy will reverse situation. Also I read that L arginine which is an amino acid help also with health condition like dementia.
SO SMART! Love this. It totally helped me.
How did it help you.
Until a "cure" there has been much research on the 3 pillars of health diet exercise and sleep, keeping the genes we have from expressing disease. Why not this disease. We all need to take our health into our own hands. Keep working at regulatating weight, moving and getting good quality sleep. We are so lucky to live in a time where help with all these issues is readily available. Good luck to all who read this. Stay motivated!
Low risk measures that MIGHT reduce age-related cognitive decline
- physical exercise
- mental exercise/stimulation
- social interaction
- limit alcohol to 1 drink per day
- sleep hygiene (7.5 hours) and treatment of sleep apnea
- optimal control of vascular risk factors: hypertension, obesity (especially central type), dyslipidemia, Mediterranean or DASH diet, smoking cessation
Diet and lifestyle measures probably help for “mixed” dementia due to combination of vascular + degenerative disease.
Advanced education appears to reduce risk.
Acute medical problems (even severe constipation) and many medications (e.g., Benadryl) can cause abrupt deterioration in mental status for patients with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia. Without prompt attention, cognitive function may not return to normal after successful treatment of the problem or discontinuation of the medication.
Thank You TEDx and Dr. B. Hanseeuw, for sharing this very important information, Alzheimer, as I know this could only happens to old people, but I able to watch a Korean movie, and the story is about a young wife at her early thirties she had this Alzheimer Disease which later she died because of this disease. And that opens my mind that' this scary disease can happen to anyone at any age, and this presentation of yours, gives me hope that this incurable disease can be prevented, and thank you for sharing your expertise.
What’s the name of movie?
I wonder if it's the one I saw. I think she was in the UK and she was diagnose I believe at 28 with dementia.
We have to concentrate on what we know helps exercise and diet and socializing, stimulating your life & activities.

I came up with a memory exercise. I read words aloud then repeat. First I did 3 words now my max is 7 words.
Yes, but would love to actually address the cause vs manage symptoms.
@mary ricker
correct. the doctor speaker is promoting medicine. natural healing. instead of drug from big
pharma. That is pharmaceutical industry back study, with scan,
prevention, prescribing medicine,
another windfall for pharma
industry, like cancer.
@@ocvegasproperty Dr Dale Bredesen in his books, The End of Altzheimer's, and Programme, are the nearest that I have found.
It's what we have been doing for about two years...
I'm sure that my wife would be in a N/H by now if we hadn't...
What??? No mention of prevention methods!! Well we know: good diet. Good socialisation. Exercise etc
Shame there aren't subtitles in other languages. Would be nice to share it with those who doesn't speak english
It's a slow death sentence. Thank you for your research, Dr. Hanseeuw.
Did you recomond any thing or how to controle or check Alzamiers disease. IT MEANS YOU ARE STILL IN RESEARCHING .anyway thank you for doing this extraordinary
Research for the better metal health for humanity.👍👏👏👏
Yeah I was expecting some type of mild cure... But I'm still glade that this musch research has been done so far.
From other TED videos and other Neuro-psychology & brain biology research, we are finding that the potential best prevention is to create many more brain pathways during our lifetime, combined with allowing our brains to do a cleanup regularly.
The regular cleanup comes from having enough regular deep sleep... And interestingly the route to creating more brain pathways also helps us to sleep better too! Amongst other things, the main tools are: regular exercise, good food, fresh air, meditation/mindfulness, stimulating social activities and regular life enriching education & activities which stretch us out of our comfort zones.
WOW....Just wow
Very good and informative speech by Dr. Bernard Hanseeuw. These doctors, scientists and researchers are the real heroes and saviours in saving people's lives from this dreadful disease. Me being a person who's father is suffering from dementia, I know the miseries faced by dementia patients and challenges faced by family members to help save their loved ones, I wish people like Dr.Bernard Hanseeuw with all the very best of luck and my prayers to soon find a cure to end AD. 🙏🏼
Where are we in research for Alzheimer's disease? How far away is it? There is so much out there claiming that it will help you with your memory or cure Alzheimers..
How did the trial go?
Thanks for the information. Does diet help at all.
Definitely. Make sure you eat and exercise well.

Should any sufferer with a history of the Herpes Simplex viral infection be taking anti viral medication for the rest of their lifetime ?
@@grahamedwards6824 please explain about HSV1 and what you've heard about it etc, on relation to Alzheimer's disease.
@@Chris-kr7gg Hello Craig, It's all in Dr Dale Bredesen's books, The End of Altzheimer's and Protocol.
HSV1 and P. Gingivalis have I think been found in the brain of sufferers post mortem, and associated with the Amyloid plaques.
My wife who has Altzheimer's has a history of recurring 'cold sores', and periodontitis. The latter associated with her pre diabetes. The former since her mother innoculated her shortly after she was born.
About ten years ago she developed Herpes Zoster and took Acyclovir for a week, and has now been free of symptoms since.
Some people in these circumstances decide to take a reduced dose of Acyclovir indefinitely....
Hope that this helps.

@@grahamedwards6824 if only i had you as a GP when I was young herpes cold sores destroyed me and led me down a path of destruction, I was never offered prophylactic treatment and when I told the GP it was causing severs stress and depression as I was under attack up to tens times a year they sent me to mental health and I deteriorated from their I have had gum disease as I wasn't brushing my teeth after I caught cold sores properly from depression and pain and worry I was scared to come into contact with my sores incase I infected other parts of my body etc I am now exhibiting signs of demented behaviours and memory problems at 33 after having over 100 outbreaks of that virus and ended up eating awfully creating gut dysbiosis and no homeostasis I am in an awful way praying I can regain some quality of life.
Are amyloid and tau pathologies the underlying cause or do they simply correlate with memory loss. I was hoping he would bring it up and kind of disappointing not to see that important pieces of puzzle. And how do you prevent AD? Anything we learned from that research to help us prevent it. Is the trial on healthy individual part of this research ?
Great question, causative or correlation!

MCT oil can help some.
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.
Hey how about an update?
It's very fundamental. The brain is starving for decades due to poor diet. Trying to feed the brain with glucose only. Brain uses 20% of or energy. It becomes critical when insulin resistance develops. Brain needs plenty of ketones starting in the womb.
UPDATE ON THE RESEARCH MENTIONED PLEASE...WAITING
How do we realized we have memory problems. My memory has been terrible all my life and it seems getting worse. Where or who make the diagnose?
To self diagnose draw a clock face that says 2pm? With advanced dementia this task will be impossible, however when diet and lifestyle are improved then the ability to draw a clock also can improve.
Instead of worrying about the past, try to eat a vegan lifestyle exercise every day, cut out sugar, salt, processed foods.
Eat 2 tablespoons organic cold pressed coconut oil everyday as soon as you wake up , after brush, empty stomach. Within few weeks you can see lot lot of change.
Draw a clock put the time 10 past 11

What if it comes from just not properly using that area of your brain that deals with memory? If we train that area regularly then we shouldn't have any problems with it should we? It's like not training a muscle, it gets weaker the older you get. 🤔
I was wondering if you memorise poems or something, if that would help.
Because short term memory goes first with Alzheimer's, long term memory is a lose it or lose it. Out of 70 cards I went from remembering 3 in order to at my best to doing 7 cards in random order. Check my channel out with the newest video. Good luck.
Useless presentation. He has no clue for preventing the disease even though title says prevention.
That's because there is no prevention or cure it can only be slowed down a little.

Why is it that no scientist is looking at what the hearing aids, (stuck in each ear and as close to the brain as can be), can do to a person wearing them. My husband had almost immediate problem (doctors suggested it was a TIA or mini stroke, but could not support this with all the tests done!) after changing to the new hearing aids batteries! He had five trips to the ER before he realized that each time he had 'an occurrence' he was wearing the hearing aids!!! Not using anything electric/magnetic on his ears any more but the damage has been done already! He has started some terrible form of dementia immediately after the first attack. No more hearing aids for him but who will return his memory, cognition, balance... his life??? He is improving now, not thanks to the local doctors but rather to Dr. Mary T. Newport from US (see her videos on UA-cam), and the coconut oil and some vitamins she has used for her own husband when hit with the quick onset dementia... Simple solutions sometimes work best! Perhaps this can find a way to help someone...
Coconut oil and vitamins against Dementia? I think this is nonsence. Tere is no cure for dementia presently, l'm afraid.

Poor speaker - mispronounces many of the medical terms. Insensitive use of words like "death sentence", "killer" and "demented". Might make talk seem more interesting but not what you want to hear if you suffer from the condition. For the very elderly, most people will have other health problems (heart disease, cancer etc) and Alzheimer's disease may not be the cause of your death. Most research is carried out on amyloid without any success so far. Key is prevention - control blood pressure, eat healthily (e.g. Mediterranean diet), exercise and maintain a good weight from middle-age onwards. The cure is many years away.
