Hello from Florida. Just discovered your interesting videos. My mom passed away in 1999. Age 85. Elementary school teacher. Calm, positive, compassionate woman. Solved word puzzles daily as a hobby. Easily solved Wheel of Fortune puzzles well into her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Never smoked or drank. But… she had a very old aluminum saucepan she used 2x a day to make instant coffee. (At a fast boil). Also she ate a healthy diet except she followed the no fat rage. No oils for her. She took many supplements but at the time D and magnesium were not part of her regimen. I think all of these contributed to her dementia, which slowly, horribly melted her away. Thanks for your videos.
So sorry to hear. I'm sure when we look back even a few decades, we as a society participated in a lot of unhealthy habits. In the first part of the 20th century, many of the medications doctors prescribed (as well as pesticides) had lead, arsenic, and mercury. We were also spraying our communities and our children with DDT! It's frightening what we now find in our food supply and our water.
Steven Thank you, very comprehensive and interesting. 🙂
Unfortunately you did not mention one of the most widespread commonly ingested toxins and it’s role in cognitive decline, alcohol! (ETOH) There are volumes of medical journals documenting its long term harmful effects on the nervous system. I have personally witnessed these detrimental consequences in many of my patients in my 35 years of practicing neurology.
Thanks for pointing this out. I had another 10-15 items on the list, but wanted to keep it to 10.
Wow, Dr Park... This is so very informative. Dementia is absolutely rampant, and to know of its many contributing factors is empowering. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video and the informative links provided. 🙏🏾
Also, I have been taping my mouth shut to improve my sleep, and it's been amazing. I awaken feeling refreshed and with no more dry mouth. I sense that I'm breathing normally, but I don't really know. I began this practice because I suspected I might have sleep apnea. Does mouth-taping help with sleep apnea? (I'm sure it's wise to get tested to know for sure. 😌)
Here's one study what showed that mouth taping lowered mild sleep apnea and snoring by about 50% (see study link below). It's probably a good idea for you to get tested. Ideally, testing with and without taping would be interesting. There's a device called Night Owl that can allow you do do more than one home test. Good luck!

Is it safe ?mouth taping?
I wonder how I will fare with so many surgeries I have had. I guess I should have listened to you when you suggested the MMA procedure, as that was the surgery that helped me the most with my issue, but I was always afraid of it due to the possibility of the change in facial features and due to being the one that was not done on soft tissue. In regards to the type of anesthesia used, for some reason, I liked better the one that was given via a liquid added to your IV rather than the gas. I always noticed the gas gave me more symptoms than the liquid type, including constipation and a longer recovery of my mental faculties. But unfortunately one does not have a say in that regard. As usual, thanks for the informative video doctor Park.
The IV anesthesia you mentioned by definition don't use any gases.
@@doctorstevenpark thanks for the clarification Dr. Park. I was referring to some of the surgeries--some with you, some with other doctors--that used what I believe to be gas because they placed a mask on your face and ask you to count until one loses consciousness. Thank you.
Concerning medications would suboxone be one of those
As per the NIH, yes, to some degree. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459126/
Hi Dr. Park. I am wondering if you know of any device that can assist with closing the mouth while sleeping? I tried mouth tape and these chin straps but they either don’t work (tape) or are too painful (straps). Thank you.
Sorry. Those are the only two options that I know of. Are you able to breathe comfortably through your nose? A stuffy nose can prevent mouth taping or chin straps to work.
@@doctorstevenpark It took much work, turb reductions and revision septoplastys, but yes, I am able to breath well through my nose.
Seems like what happens is when I sleep at night I unconsciously open my mouth and start to breath through it.
Is it possible to need Septoplasty but then it no longer being necessary once jaw surgery (to fix recessed jaw) has been performed or can jaw surgery not resolve a septic deviation?
In general, a deviated nasal septum along with other causes for nasal congestion won't be addressed fully with jaw advancement surgery. Fixing a deviated nasal septum addresses airway narrowing to the right or left side, but jaw surgery fixes the problem by moving the jaws forward.
Is coffee good for preventing dementia?
For the most part, there seems to be some protective effect for coffee on dementia. However, there are some studies that say otherwise. A few studies found higher rates in people with the ApoE4 gene,

Wherecis the guy thats list all 10
Ah man I take xyzal Claritin and Zyrtec every night am I going to rot my brain?
Ideally, you should not be taking too many antihistamine medications on a regular basis. All the ones you mentioned are second generation and don't have as much anticholinergic properties that I mention in the video. So in theory, they're safer. However, your best answer is to talk to your doctor about your concerns.
Steroids are also anticholinergics.
Thanks for the heads up. It's truly surprising how many commonly used medications have anticholinergic properties. This link has a large list of medications, but even then it's not exhaustive. tinyurl.com/bdu35yrj
