This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.
It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.
The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.

My husband Rip.💖 in 2014,was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus vascular dementia, he had a stroke, in 2012, not treated properly 😕he was diabetic, overweight, heart disease too. He was diagnosed at age 67,died at age 70 2/8/18, in Hospice care, January 29th, he had a silent heart attack, no pain at all,100% blockage replaced his stent on the left side of the chest, he already had 3 stents in 2008. He was in an out of nursing homes 5.and in rehabilitation 2017, because he got a flesh eating bacterial infection wound in groin left side, had to have emergency surgery, too ,2 days in a row. To make sure it was all out. How he got it i don't know. But he would get agitated, violent too. Paranoid, we were married 51 years. Together 54years, at times he would ask for a divorce 😢 we were high school sweethearts since age of 16. He had short term memory loss 😕 not one dr.told me what to expect 😠 on his behaviors, or violence, he hated evening, ,Sundowning it was called. Iam so mad that i wasn't told what to expect 😠. He refused drs office visits ,only had weekly nurse. Once a month home physician. Refused all meds in the end and insulin too. He lodt faith in the drs. Since nursing homes. Why does this happen? Please I need answers. I hope he still loved me😢. Was it normal to act that way, from vascular dementia?

Waste of time video! All can be said in a small text box.
my father had alzheimers but was not obese at all he only weighed 7st 4lbs hardly a heavyweight so that discounts that theory
Stopping to smoke helps prevent lung cancer. But… some non-smokers still get lung cancer, while some smokers still live long, healthy lives. Yet everyone agrees that not smoking lowers the risk of lung cancer. Similarly, while there is no "silver-bullet" to knock out Alzheimer's, there is clear, scientific guidance on things to do lower our risk. We're just trying to get that information out there in a way that is accurate and easy-to-learn. Hope this helps.
Great video! I am sharing. I was a caregiver to a friend who passed away in April 2014. She would have been a perfect poster child for this video. People need to pay attention to their weight, exercise and brain health! Diabetes caused by obesity leads to all of these problems. Thanks for posting the video!
