Study suggests Alzheimer's may be reversible

Would be a tremendous discovery

Not exactly breaking news. We've known that for some time.

eta: That's why recognition memory will often be intact in AD patients even when recall is impaired.

Yeah. As someone that has worked with Alzheimer's patients for years, it is there, but the bridge is out.

I pray they find a way to help these patients. I already know that i will lose my mom to Alzheimer's. She was recently diagnosed and is rapidly declining. Sadly, she knows how it is since she dealt with it with her dad and aunt.

It's got to be so terrifying and depressing to think of the future when you are first diagnosed, knowing how bad it is going to get.

sorry to hear... Good vibes headed your way God speed.... I lost my mother recently and it's by far the most heartbreaking thing i can ever Imagine could happen (aside from losing a child but I've yet to father children)

so I guess it's hereditary? Maybe you can have hope with you considering the pace in which modern medicine moves.... Well unless the Dems keep fricking up healthcare and strips incentives by going single payer.

Aren't you getting up there in age? Not meaning this as an insult.

Can you post more of these articles instead of the ones that imply an impending existential threat to humanity? Thanks

It is definitely heartbreaking. My mom is in the midst of a sharp and rapid decline with it. It's tough.

Eat well. Avoid processed trash diet

Is Alzheimer’s Type 3 Diabetes?

Let’s connect the dots: We know that the American diet is a fast track not only to obesity but to Type 2 diabetes and other preventable, non-communicable diseases, which now account for more deaths worldwide than all other causes combined. We also already know that people with diabetes are at least twice as likely to get Alzheimer’s, and that obesity alone increases the risk of impaired brain function. What’s new is the thought that while diabetes doesn’t “cause” Alzheimer’s, they have the same root: an over consumption of those “foods” that mess with insulin’s many roles. (Genetics have an effect on susceptibility, as they appear to with all environmental diseases.) “Sugar is clearly implicated,” says Dr. de la Monte, “but there could be other factors as well, including nitrates in food.”

The following is offered in hope that it helps one of you create one hour or day of clarity for your loved one.
My mom suffered with AD for quite some time. With the help of a doctor practicing wholistic and natural medicine, it was determined that my moms issue was contraindicated medicine intake rather than AD. Got mom off all wrong meds over time. Mom returned to the loving caring person before "AD". I thank god everyday for that doctor and what she did for my mother ...
