The lack of progress in solving Alzheimer's Disease has ruined millions of lives.  For decades, the news has reported, "We have the answer right around the corner."  The talk about brain structure is never ending.

There are two defining factors that help to explain the failure to stop AD.

1  

The Alzheimer's industry pays no attention to how and why good moments naturally happen, or how to overcome terrible Alzheimer's moments.

  The definition of Alzheimer's is based on a 114-year-old premise that assumes brain structure explains AD behavior.  It has failed for all those years to result in the AD industry stopping, reversing, or curing one person.

Caregivers are taken back when, out of the blue, an Alzheimer's patient has flashes of magnificent memory. Don't turn your back on this proof.  It is possible to overcome whatever has prevented these wonderful, surprising moments for your loved one.

These miracle moments are caused by natural human behavior mixed with positive events that caregivers can create.

Caregivers can oversee daily routines and provide activities of daily living that contribute to the positive changes that can happen.

Urinary Tract Infection:  Solving "poisoning" from urinary tract infections (UTI) helps control distraction, agitation and aggression.

Hydration: Dehydration contributes to cognitive problems and overall poor health. Adequate and consistent fluid intake is very important. Drinking pure pineapple juice helps with hydration and at the same time attacks inflammation.

Diet: Food such as rich spaghetti sauce, yellow (only yellow) corn on the cob, fresh fruit and easily digestible foods can provide good nutrition, but also help improve brain function. Why corn on the cob? Chewing may stimulate brain circulation.

Medication: Prescription drugs play a major role in treating medical problems, but each drug comes with side effects and interactions. Your pharmacist can help determine what meds could affect thinking, behavior, and emotional response. Recent studies on benzodiazepines (used to control anxiety) strongly suggest an increased risk of Alzheimer's and dementia.

Be realistic when seeking advice. In the 114 years since Alzheimer described the condition, the entire field of experts have never stopped, reversed or cured one person.

That means the prescriptions are useless or worse.

Experts have never even replicated your contribution to the success you play in creating those magnificent moments of memory.
