this is a really scary disease. i really wish there is a cure and i hope the best for all of you

@inkey2 Sorry to hear about your mom. However, there are vitamins and herbs she can take that can reverse the disease without her getting on those wacky side-effect driven pharma drugs. Try these brain sharpeners: ginkgo biloba, selenium, rosemary leaf, kola nut, hot peppers like Habanero (they're hot, but they increase blood flow and spike neuron pulse). Also, keep her active with physical and mental exercise. Just do some research if you haven't. Good luck!

@sleepyleee For those not looking for a miracle cure but something to help with alzheimer's or memory, I would research a class of drugs called "racetams," lecithin, and choline.

@bluekarma4 i dont think so, a way to help prevent this disease is to have an active mind. play chess math problems exercise the brian

My grandmother died of this. Also, i'm curious if drinking coffee through your life helps prevent Alzheimers?

@RogueTheElfWarrior1 : rogue: i just found out 20 minutes ago my mom has this. In the last year and a half mom has really mentally gone down hill substantially. I cried when I was told about this. Like my late father always said (he was mentally sharp till the day he died)....." there is no reward for getting old"

My mom has the early stages of this.
By: Care4YourElder. on 16 Apr 10, 15:55:24
This is great info. We have to remember that the caregivers are also suffering and need support.

@RustyEraser its meant to run more across familys than down, but there doesnt seem to be a real genetic link...sorry to hear about ur grandad
By: Tightey88. on 23 Mar 10, 15:47:25
@CtrlRm Thats brilliant to hear :)

There are different hypothesis for the disease involving the two proteins identified from autopsy. The more primary etiology is the amyloid hypothesis, in which there is an accumulation of a protein "plaque". This is supported from genetic mutations found during the early onset of Alzheimer patients. These two abnormal proteins destroy regions of the brain over years ... which is what creates the stages. No cure has been developed the primary cause.

It's both.

My grandfather has it, was diagnosed at the age of 74. He is 78 now and I swear he is the happiest guy on the planet. He laughs and giggles to himself all the time and he loves stuffed animals, he holds them and talks to them and treats them like they are cute little babies.

some evidence says its genetic and others say its from enviornmental factors

my pap has alzehimers. from this video on it only gets worse.
By: RustyEraser. on 28 Jan 10, 04:20:24
*sigh* lots of my older relatives had/have altzheimers, I think it's a genetic trait in my family. I hope I don't get it, or by the time I'm old, they have a cure. =[ My dad is really sad because his dad is getting the starting signs of alzheimers

Just posted 10 mins of an amazing interview we did with Dr Mary Newport - MUST LISTEN

@AlphaZ0mbie IRRESPECTFUL, if you had a clue of how hard it is you would

?...I cant remember.

I was surprised when the data of a new case diagnosed each 70 seconds! This is such a sad disease, my grandma had it and just like it is said in the video, in the end of her life she didn't remember basic things like how to eat. Let's hope that physicians can find a way to control it in order to stop it at the earliest stage or even cure it. At Symposier site there is more information on this disease for physicians interested on it.
