I lost my husband in Dec 2018. He was only 78. I realized that he had Dementia in 2016, my husband tried to hide it from me. His mother had it but she was 91 when she died. It’s an awful decease.
Wow this was powerful. My mom passed away in 2013 from dementia related pneumonia. Dad still doubted she had it until the day he lost her. But I saw with my own eyes when she would wave at little boys that weren’t there. Or dogs. And then sit in her own living room and not know she was there. She wanted to go home, but she was already there. She never forgot my dad. They were married 65 years and he took care of her until passing, with my help. Terrible!!! The things he had to do. But said he would do it all over again. I’m petrified I will have it. I’m 70 and I panic every time I forget something, like turn off the water or to flush. Anyway God bless you Dr Oz and your family. Keep us posted on your mom.
Look into following a ketogenic diet cut out all sugars. Hoping for the best for you.
Look up benefits of coconut oil and MCT oil.
❤❤❤
❤
Same for me, looked after my husband on my own for 4 years and yes i did everything , the reason, love x
My mom had demancia “Alzheimer’s” for 7 years, and you can’t do anything about it, except give them love ❤️ and company.
You can! Detox them asap it makes a huge difference but it takes time, money and dedication.
I understand how you feel. My mother and mother in law both lost their memory the last few years of their life. It was really hard when she forgot who I was at one point in her illness. My mother in law on the other hand thought I was a friend and she actually liked me for the first time.
I took care of my dear mother who suffered that illness and passed away on April 29th ,it's terrible,terrible.
My love and strenght to all those carers ,it' s hardddd.❤️💕
My father had Parkinson’s with Lewy Body Dementia and Vascular Dementia! It was horrible! Your right Dr. Oz, you loose them twice! Praying for your momma and your family!
same!
God bless you & your family!! 🙏🏽THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! This will HELP MANY, MANY PEOPLE!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
i took care of my mom and it broke me mentally so bad, not just caring for her, but watching my proud mother slowly leave us. im being genetically tested so i dont have to ruin my only child's life. im not being selfish as not being here physically is no different then being gone mentally.😢
my mom had had dementia for 7 years. it’s been a very difficult journey but the lord remains on the throne. there is nothing to fear. i recommend getting the support you need to help you get through
I hate this disease,my mom was diagnosed and died 2015...she didn't recognize me... terrible disease, I fear this disease.❤🇯🇲
my grandmother and mother had it. my mom went into assisted living, then a memory home until she passed. i loved her so much, but it took a horrible toll on me. Now im 62 and being tested as im getting forgetful. i dont want to put my only child thru watching me slowly die. its a horrible, horrible disease. God bless all of you that were your loved one's caregiver.
I heard a Doctor who's Husband had Alzheimer's, she heard that Coconut oil helped with symptoms. She tried it and it helped her husband.
Well dr oz its time to bring your mother to here where you live to watch her like a guarding angel😇
My dads mother had Alzheimer’s so I always figured it would be a possibility for my father to end up with it too.
Due to the fact that my parents divorced 27 years ago and dad married some gal 30 yrs younger than him,I always knew I would be the child who would be daddy’s caregiver.
I, as his oldest daughter had the circumstances where he could live right here on our property.
I had the joy and privilege of being caregiver for my daddy from age 82-88.
We enjoyed many fun times these last 7 yrs, gardening, both vegetables and flowers.
Now, however, after daddy’s mixed dementia ( Alzheimer’s/vascular)advanced drastically after 1 week in the hospital for pneumonia, is now in an Alzheimer’s unit because he needs 24 hr care.
He is unaware of his changed circumstances now, but is adjusting well to his new home.
He is more secure and less lonely than he was at home .
I am taking the time to build my adrenals and immune system back up after the toll 7 yrs of caregiving have taken on me.
I look forward to visiting my daddy as his oldest daughter not his caregiver.🙂
Didn't your dad's young wife help care for him?
@@bluesky7288 she kept him around as long as he could still work and provide for her.
He had a very successful carpet cleaning business until his mid 70’s.
His dementia symptoms didn’t show up until he was 81.
Then she decided to raise her 8 yr old granddaughter rather than live up to her marriage vows, so daddy had to go and he pulled his 5th wheel over to live in it here on our property.
If she could have gotten him diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2016( instead of “ age related dementia “)he would have been in the nursing home these last 7 yrs😔.
Cindy Patrick - some advice on how you’re building adrenals please.
@@lindalamb7512 I get an adrenal support supplement at my health food store and I drink a protein shake ,Spirutein that has lots of B vitamins ( for stress).
Depending on how exhausted my adrenals are , sometimes I drink 2 a day or take a B complex tablet.
Of course it’s helpful now that the stresses of being full time caregiver for my 88 yr old daddy is off me .
Slowly I have started back doing my exercises now, but it took time to get the energy to do that.
Hope this helps and you feel stronger soon🙂
May the Lord continue to bless you and give you the healing you need 😊🙏♥️
I was my mom’s caregiver and saw signs, I kept it to myself when it became more frequent since I knew my family would just say I’m trying to make her sound crazy. I finally tell my siblings and the first thing they tell my mom was “she just wants to put you in a home”. My heart broke. My mom did some tests and the doctor said she didn’t have signs of Alzheimer’s, she was just stressed. At the beginning my mom was very good to hide it. She drew a clock for the doctor and she said she’s fine. Fast forward 3 years, my mom now is placed in a home and calls me daily wondering where the parents are of the kids she’s babysitting are since she’ll be tired for school the next day. I don’t blame myself but I do find it’s sad that not even a doctor saw it. Get second opinions
I'm heart-felt for you and your family, and I feel what you're going through. I was my moms primary caregiver, and I'm a sibling of eight. My sister is now showing signs. My heart is broken. I was the one awear when mom started, I felt all alone cause my family said I was exaggerating. I went to meetings, and I needed to know what I needed to do for her❤
I like Dr.Oz.. powerful presentation. So very sorry for their family, Dr.Oz. his Mom...prayers.. 💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻
My mom has dementia it's not easy to deal with as her caregiver I am doing everything in my power to help her thrive. ❤ Its truly amazing seeing ppl really empower to staying healthy
PRAYERS FOR YOU YOUR MOM AND FAMILY ❤GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏 ❤️
Alzheimers disease is devastating
I watched my mother go through this and she passed away in 2000 at the age of 80. I wouldn't wish this disease on the devil himself
As a senior caregiver for 17 years, I have a difficult time believing that Alzheimer’s is preventable. My clients were wealthy and lived healthy lifestyles.
It Is absolytely preventable
Theres cognitive tests you can do and create these habits
You mentioned wealthy
Moneys not relevant
You can be healthy with no money
@@florencelovme what I meant by my clients being “wealthy” is they have all the money at their disposal for healthy lifestyle and extensive medical treatment. And yet they still got Alzheimer’s. Research still don’t know precisely what causes this disease, so how can they say it’s preventable? I don’t mean to be a downer, just a realist. Of course, I agree we should follow a healthy lifestyle to have the best chance NOT to develop this form of dementia. There are about 100 different forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s being the most common.
Is Dementia treated same as Alzheimer's? My mother in law died of Dementia. I would call her & she would say she is sitting & her late husband is there staring at the grandfather clock. She would see angels at night. It finally ended with 24 hr. nursing care, then nursing home & death. Sadly, no brain testing was done.
Lovely mother Dr Oz. Sorry for your loss of a wonderful lady..
First of all, he didn't see his mother everyday. He couldn't possibly recognize her changes until they were already there. He didn't live with his mother. Many blessings to anyone dealing with this condition.
Excellent discussion. Very tough decision come up at that time and also the siblings have to also agree on what should be done.
Alzheimer's killed my mother, father, and almost his entire family. I have a lot to worry and pray about.
My brother is 66 years old and was diagnosed with parkinson’s with dementia at around 62 or 63. It was a devastating diagnosis. He lives in Vancouver B.C. and I live in Ontario Canada. We went to see him this summer and there is a difference from last summer. I pray for his future.
You are an amazing man, I hope your mom doesn’t get to bad off. Praying for your mom. ❤
I still love Dr. Oz wish his show came back
I lost my husband 9yrs ago to this awful stuff was able to care for him at home bit so sad watch him dissapear my prayers with all ❤
I am a CNA since 2003 up until now.
i took care alot of patients who suffered alzheimer’s so i definetely can relate. For me the most painful is when they are still active physically but their mind is gone completely. i have seen this a lot first hand. 😢 in-fact one of the lady i am now taking care of is suffering with this disease.
She is 94 yr old. but she often, talking about her other family members who passed away long time ago that they are all still around as they just hiding from her. Please be more patient if you are caring your love with alzheimer’s. 😢🙏🌻
Dr Oz youre wonderful...everyone may make mistakes....xxx
I am a senior caregiver for the past 17 years. I have also found it’s very difficult to keep clients safe in their homes when they are physically fit, walking around, trying to get into all sorts of things that could injure them because their cognitive skills are gone. Very stressful on the caregiver to keep them safe.
my father had alzheimers for at least 10 years. I saw it at the beginning and no one would believe me. My brother refused to believe it until his final days in the hospital, and even then fought it. My mother realized something was wrong fairly early on, when I started to point out changes in him mentally, and finally, she recognized he had dementia/alzheimers. Dad died at 94 years old. Mom is 97 next birthday, still drives her own car and lives in her own home, does gardening, cooks her meals, etc., she is failing but in a natural way, no sign of dementia at all, just slowing down.
God bless the best for you Dr Oz
I’m a retired Nursing Attendant on the Alzheimer’s Floor it’s the saddest disease next to Cancer in my opinion you see family member’s come to visit their family member who has Alzheimer’s eventually you notice those family member’s coming less and less because their family member didn’t remember them and wouldn’t sit there to visit with them instead getting up and walking away while looking for their family who was there but she didn’t remember them. Some people can’t handle that because they don’t remember them they think that their mother should remember her own children and they don’t understand how she can forget them it’s really sad and for some gut wrenching also. 😢
I had the privilege and honor of being my 88 yr old daddy’s full time caregiver for the last 7 years.
We enjoyed many fun times together,gardening, both flowers and vegetable gardens.
However after he had an ischemic stroke in 2020 things escalated pretty fast and he did finally start to forget who I was.
His delusions, paranoia, fear of being alone took a physical and mental toll on us both.
Aug 12 he got pneumonia and after just 1 week in the hospital his dementia had worsened to the point that he required 24 hr care.
My health had taken such a hit from all the years of stress( besides daddy I also have a disabled 73 yr old husband w spinal stenosis and chf).
So it became absolutely necessary for daddy to move into an Alzheimer’s unit near my house.
He is adjusting well and being around others just like him has been good for him.
I was so exhausted from all the caregiving that I got sick and I am just now starting to feel physically and emotionally strong enough to go visit my daddy, as his oldest daughter not his caregiver.
Even though I’m preparing myself for him not recognizing me😔😭
Dr. Oz is so great with people . I adore him. He has a strong marriage & family. 😇
I'm so glad your back.
He is not back it is a repeat!
Dr. Oz your mom looks so beautiful you daughter Daphne look so much like her ❤ I pray for your mom ! May God bless her and keep her in good health 🙏
My grandmother passed from both , but grandmom never forgot my nickname she gave me
But I learned you Need patience with people with these diseases
I'm 91 years old and still got all my marbles. I had a sister who had dementia and died at 90 years old, but I also had a sister, who had a sharp mind when she died at 95 years old.
I love Bernie Sanders! 🙂 Sorry about your mother Dr. Oz, thanks for the info.
Great shot Senator! 👍👍
I lost my sister in law to this horrible disease and i watched her go from beginning to the end it was just devastating to watch what she went through to her death
Oz is my man ❤
Doc my father is a retired physician. As we were Growing up his saying was I’m your Dad and not your doctor when we asked about medical.
Dr. Doz, do not be hard on yourself. You learn when you are in medical school not to treat your family. This is why. As a family member you do not have an unbiased opinion, with the ones you love. Of course you didn’t want to see she was failing. That is natural, you are human.
It’s beginning to affect folks in their 50s & 60s....read this on last week.
My ex husband divorced me because he is suffering from Alzheimer’s sickness,now he regrets that I am a very good woman.Very sad 😢
This make no sense🙈
You divorced him
Dr. Oz I am Extremely sorry to hear about your Mother's Diagnosis. Losing someone to Alzheimer's is terrible because you lose a little bit of her almost everyday. While your Mother is still somewhat Coherent, you should make alot of Videos of her with you and your Family. My Relative is a Extremely Good, Kind, Smart, Hardworking Person of 56 who was recently diagnosed with Kidney Failure, and we will lose him probably within 5 years. We will lose my Relative, because Innovative Treatments for Kidney Failure have not come along in 60 years. We will lose my Relative, because a Kidney Transplant is probably unlikely. Dr. Oz, do you know of anything that can be done to Save My Relative?
I'm sorry to hear that Dr. Oz and his family is dealing with this horrible disease!! I wonder how soon this blood test will unequivocally detect this disease; to me it sounds like medical research is more than halfway there. I thought the Bernie interview was pretty good; all though he dropped from the race in April, 7 months ago. I guess this episode is not 1 month old, but only posted one month ago. I wish the Oz family the very best and hope his mother's progression is a slow one.
I keep forgetting things I need to do. I need to jot things down, but it is not a habit yet. I hope that this is normal for a 91 year old.
Just pray and be there for her... She will always love you independently of her mental status.
My father had Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. My mother did not have either of those. My mom had a very sharp brain. She passed at the age of 93. My father was 79 almost 80 when he passed. I am curious as to rather or not I will get Alzheimer's and/or Parkinson's. This video was very interesting and helpful. I have been forgetful lately. I will be talking to my doctor about Alzheimer's. Thank you so much.
Dr Oz, I'm really interested in learning how high intensity / low frequency noise affects our health. These frequencies are being used in modern music.
We work all of our lives to get a good insurance, and because we have it, it should not be taken away at no cost my opinion
Dr. Oz thanks for sharing this deeply personal story! Although I understand that alzheimer develops over decades, I truly believe that the isolation from the pandemic had severe impacts on the brain which accelerated the disease!!!!
A friend in the Dalles, OR had treatments at a hospital in Portland, that are now approved. She no longer has it. You might check into that.
My mother is suffering from dementia and is hell. She still knows my sister and I but she confuses everyone else . she was a easy going person but now she's become very abusive. Very sad.
When is the real date on this! Show
Dr Oz you are NOT the only Dr you may have missed the signs in a relative. My own brother in law is a neuro radiologist and felt the signs I saw in my mother in law wasn't AZ. Oh how wrong he was. I remember watching a very similar Dr Oz episode years ago. There were a few signs Dr Oz mentioned at that time that were so meaningful to me. A couple of the signs Dr Oz mentioned were a change in appearance (once makeup would be perfectly applied but now was smeared) and cancelling plans with friends were two that stick out in my mind. At the time my mother in law would call me at 2 or 3 in the afternoon and while talking mention she was still in her pajamas. On Monday she would say that on Friday she would be having breakfast with friends, while talking to her again on Friday she said that she decided not to go. She was a VERY social person so this continued canceling was very strange. Her eye make up started to look smeared. I mentioned this episode to my family members. We suspected at that time and many years after that she was suffering from dementia. We tried to schedule Dr appoints so one of her kids could go with her, she would cancel the appointment and reschedule when she knew someone couldn't go. She knew what she was trying to hide. As a widow she lived by herself. As kids we could NOT force her to a Dr, we couldn't force a diagnosis. After a freak accident we were able to force her to the hospital which ultimately resulted in the diagnosis. Again the system worked against us. We knew her house wasn't a safe space for her. Social workers came in and did not advise a new living arrangement.
Dr Oz - I know our family is not the only one dealing with this. What are us kids supposed to do when the relative suffering is preventing us from helping and the system designed to prevent elder abuse is working against us as well.
Hi I’m sorry you had to go through this. You can get an attorney and declare your mother incompetent and get a Power of Attorney. If you think she’s a danger to herself and her well being I think that is one option. I know it’s very hard to think about doing. God. bless
@@mamawjoni we have her taken care of. She was tricked to stay with one of her kids and has been staying with all of us ever since. What is frustrating is that we shouldn't have to go through an attorney. The social worker should have said something along with the visiting nurse and Physical therapists. At her 6 month appointment her neurologist said that she should not be living alone but by then she was out of her home.
Sorry about your mom
My 67 year old brother has frotaltemporal dementia., my late mom had alzheimer's, her mom, my mom's aunt, possibly my late dad and maybe my dad's late sister
I’m lost my mom was Alzheimer’s diease for 10 yrs, and my
Mom was only 72 years old! I remember whose my mom don’t remember anything about it I’m puzzled 🤔 few later I found that my mom diagnosed in Alzheimer’s challenge experience life but very difficult time with my mom so memories beautiful blessings, I love my mom very much!!
Listen to me friend,lam not here to criticize but you seem very confused too. I hope you have loved ones around to watch over you. Please go see your doctor.
💙💙💙
Just completed my 15 year Alzheimers journey with my Mom....it was very hard...
So very sorry for Your long journey with your Mom!,😢😢
@@marclayton3537 thk u
How do you do it. I'm on year 3 and going nuts.
Dr Oz is in the place he needs to be, TV and medical practice, NO IN TOXIC POLITICS
He is not on TV!!!! These are all tapes!!! This was taped after Trumps 2016 election!!!
DR OZ is RE-running all HIS YOU TUBE TAPES… THIS MAKES HIM MILLIONS 🤑💰
I lost my grandmother to dementia back in 2020
bernie on the same episode as alzheimers...precious!!
Where is the link?
My Mum has had Alzheimers for 7 long years. To make matters worse my younger sister got her to change her entire will and stole millions of dollars from her 3 years after her diagnosis. I reported her to the Alzheimers society to see what could be done as she had no clue as to what she was signing and thought she had been to the Doctor. During all this I was diagnosed with cancer and could no longer take any more stress in my life and cut all ties with her. She even tried to ban me from seeing her in LTC and sold her house and everything in it robbing me and my two other sisters of all are childhood memories by refusing to let us make copies of family photos. Then had the nerve to call me one day out of the blue demanding that I give her my Mums recipe book ... literally the only thing I had of hers and she feels entitled to it. I said not in my lifetime! She said I had no right to keep it and it was hers. I said do not call me or mention that damn book or I will burn it and send you the ashes in a box. She knew what she did would divide our family and choose to do it anyways so I have no empathy for her what so ever. I never wanted any of her money , just my Mum. Then recently I heard from a family member that my sister who did this to her was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers ... was it karma or just bad genetics! . Who can say. Life is never linear, nor is it promised to any of us. Love your family, not their money and what they can give you! ✌
I’m sorry for your tremendous loss and betrayal. I’m a retired medical social worker and could sit and tell you countless stories of greed I’ve watched from the bedside. Your story is unfortunately more common than you think and actually happened in my own family with my dad’s house. My little sister hit the house placed in her name and kept it after our father died saying “he wanted it that way”. She would have taken the whole lot but she was unable to change the insurance beneficiaries. If she could have she would. Karma is a big debt and my little sister is paying for it tenfold. She doesn’t have a dime left from the stolen monies and is onto live in number 9 at 57. Even her own chicken have estranged from her. These ppl aren’t treatable. Thanks for listening to my rant. I had to share
@@5thdimension625 thank you. I have learned to never underestimate the lengths some people will go to to get money, especially family! My sister was the same. Burned through so much money in less than 3 years and now has nothing. She even took back expensive gifts she had bought for her kids so she could sell them. Who buys a kid a Rolex watch and then tries to pawn it? Like I said, she destroyed our family and now needs in home care herself that she can't afford because of her greed. My Aunt tried to tell me she needed financial help and would any of her siblings be willing to help as she is now sorry for what she did. I told her that she illegally obtained that money by lying to a lawyer and judge and no amount of sorry saying , or I was wrong will ever mend the damage and stress she caused us. I told her I wish her the best, but I want no contact with someone who poisoned their own kids against me and my family by telling outright lies to defend her actions. She made her choices and got what she wanted, but I want nothing to do with her as horrible as that may sound. Okay my rant is done as well lol. Sorry for all you endured as well.
@@5thdimension625 Hi. I am sorry for your loss. My Dad used to tell to me all time " remember, we come to this place without anything or empty hands & when we leave this place, we will leave with an empty hands. All we can take with us compassion, love, kind... with us." that is all mater.( I hope anyone wake up and not to think about materials around us.)
Of course Karma.
I was very fortunate that my then 82 yr old daddy was able to cooperate with me, his oldest daughter, and full time caregiver, to set up a trust so when he got to the point where he could no longer handle his financial and medical decisions I could step in as his POA and after his ischemic stroke in 2020 that’s what I did.
I have 4 siblings and daddy and I discussed in detail exactly how I would distribute any money left after daddy and momma( they divorced 27 years ago, but it is his biggest regret in life and he wants his money to go to caring for her🥲),she too is 88 , but so far mentally doing well.
So only after the death of both of our parents will us 5 children split any money left over.
To those who have been through this in their family my questions ???
If those who have dementia do not know you. Can they still sense the person there does love them and how does it have a effect on them.
I have heard some of them have families who care & love them. Then there are those who have family who do not show love. Is there a difference in the process between them?
Is this new and is it only online????
🙏🙏
I’m wondering if Dr Oz monitored his mother’s meds and diet and made sure she never took a statin or ate a low cholesterol diet? As a 30 year cardiac RN, I knew not to take a statin and 30 years ago convinced my mother not to take the statin being foisted on her. She is currently 88, and takes zero meds, but not for lack of trying on the doctor’s part. As a cardiologist Dr Oz should have known this. But obviously the doctors here are Pharma driven…and that is scary.
Bingo!
I wasn't aware there is a connection between taking statins and dementia
@@gloriasaliba3395 upon autopsies, Alzheimer’s patients are found to have significant brain shrinkage. And the one glaring consistency was they are on statins. The brain is mostly made up of cholesterol, your body needs cholesterol to exist. Inflammation is the root of disease, research what that does to your health. But I can say with 100% certainty that I will never, ever take a statin…I don’t even allow my cholesterol level to be tested. Thirty years ago when I started working as a nurse in a top 100 cardiac hospital, I noticed that my patients would question me about why they were now on a statin since they had never had cholesterol problems before. I started researching this and discovered how dangerous these meds are…painful legs, diabetes, dementia are a few of the results of statins. Many people in my life have stopped their statins when they hear how dangerous they are. My partner’s diabetes greatly improved and his AIC normalized…his doctor said “whatever you’re doing, keep it up”…he didn’t tell him all he did was stop his statin.
Big Pharma is so powerful that doctors don't dare deviate from "Standard Care", even if it would help their patients, because Big Pharma would have their medical licenses revoked. Big Pharma must be broken up and doctors freed to pursue the real course of healing for their patients.
What reports is evidence for Alzheimer’s and statins?
What can you do to reverse Amyloid or even prevent getting it other than watching diets, low LDL cholesterol (can be genetic), and keeping weights down?
Not much
My mother had hardening of the arteries that acted like Altzheimers! She didn't know us ! Then, my dad had dementia! Horrible, horrible!! It was hard on my sister and I!😢
My grandma was diagnosed with dementia when she was 70 or so. The thing is, I think signs of it may have actually stretched back to 10 years or more before. When she had this episode that she was talking to God, and aliens. But that may have been a psychological break at the time, because she was losing the house that her husband built, and she raised her entire family in… regardless, she was one of the most incredible people, and not only had an incredible life herself… But gave one to my mom and all of her siblings also. Not to mention, me.
I was definitely a grandma’s ‘s boy and still think about her quite often. The crazy thing is, even in the middle of this dementia… I would say, probably five years in. She would still remember who I was, and light up when I came in the room. I think because I spent so much time with her as a kid, and even a teenager. I remember one day I walked in to her room and she saw me and introduced me to the woman that was staying in her room with her as her son. The woman looked at her and said I can’t be your son that has to be your grandson…
For which, I said to the woman… No, I could pretty much be considered her son with all of the time that I spent with her growing up and even in my teenage years and my 20s. My mom was awesome and did everything she could for us kids, but for whatever reason my connection was with my grandma. Not that my mom and I didn’t have one, but it was not as deep in many aspects. Regardless, is very tough to see my grandma kind of fade away. She ultimate succumbed to heart, congestion, and failure. But she was definitely a fighter. She toughed it out in that nursing home for easily 10 years or more. Still coherent, just not completely lucid as to the people around her and her surroundings.
Definitely a tough thing to go through and I bless my mom for doing everything she did for my grandma during that time. As I had ended up, moving a few states away for my career and would only see her sporadically. Regardless, bless everybody who has to go through this with a loved one or even themselves. Because I’m sure it’s very hard for memories to fade from somebody who is trying so hard to hold onto them, but can’t.
please increase volume. It is low.
my mom she was vibrant for awhile before her memory started to fade she worked at a CBS station in the 1950s through early 1970s in St Louis Missouri she rode the bus she got on the highway in Cahokia Illinois until she got a car her and one of her girl friends their drivers license by driving to the Secretary of state the closest one back then was in Missouri. My mom met my dad when she was 16 and he was 12 at a family friends Motorcycle shop in E St Louis Illinois mama was a dish in the early young adult and adult years of her life. She worked after leaving the tv station in the early 1970s across the river in Illinois at St Mary's Hospital in E St Louis Illinois in the billing department all with a Sophmore in high school education. She met up with my dad again in 1974 and married him she wanted me contrary to some people thinking I was an oops baby born in 1976 I was not my mom wanted me despite the risk how many can say that my mom old school born in 1935. She worked puzzles had a photographic memory until her hip surgery she was starting to fade a little with illinesses with the high powered pain killers for the pain. But I had to remember before the hip surgery before all the bad stuff she helped us kids getting us mental health help and if we broke the law we got turned into the police we knew to save our lives. My mom divorced my dad she had the help of a judge to get and keep custody of her kids and get financial help but due to a lot of health factors one of the things she died of was memory loss dementia and sundowners she had a lot of nightmares but God took her home July 6th 2016 he needed her why to help others I hope that one day we find a way for people to have a cure for the memory loss or ways to endure it or both truth
My mother was misdiagnosed and went undiagnosed for several years until a doctor finally told my father, after seeking help from several, that if she was 80, he would say she had dementia, but she was only in her 40’s. She didn’t know who my children were, and soon didn’t know who I was, it’s happens quick.
On a second note, I don’t like Barney sanders, and disagree with him. I will be voting for trump again. No hate comments either.
I love Bernie Sanders and would never vote Trump
“We always tell you the truth “. 🤔
So how many hrs, drs visits, and what are the costs for all this testing? Does insurance pay?
Right... great questions
My mom had dementia when I was 15.. she was in her early 50’s
Dr. Oz, you should do an interview w/Debby Campbell & the rest of Glen Campbell's kids. They went through Alzheimer's w/their Dad Glen Campbell. Glen Campbell died of the disease in 2017. Can drugs or alcohol contribute to Alzheimer's? Glen Campbell dealt w/both in the '80s/'90s. Can a stroke contribute to Alzheimer's? My cousin had a stroke & she has Alzheimer's. She is 75 years old.
My mom had Alzheimer’s seeing the way her memory was i had her check.
Drug companies have been nothing but about the money for a very long time. It definitely is not about the patient but how much they can drain a person dry. I would not like to be any of those people that are behind this and have to answer for one day.
120 drugs tried all failed. Not trying very hard. Much more money in long term care
It's all about the celebrity baby, And that be Doctor Oz
My mom had Alzheimer's all bit and her children said something to her about and she said I don't have it we told her that she did cause she kept on repeating things over and over again and she came out of it by us talking to her but she still have it a little bit
are these older episodes?
No more DR OZ SHOW!
It’s shot down when he ran for the Senate
How do you decide it's Alzheimer's vs old age?
My physician has prescribed 2 medications to BE FILLED AT CANADIAN DRUGSTORE..he phones them in..COST IS VERY MUCH LESS. CONSIDERABLY LESS. I RECOMMEND DISCUSSING W.YOUR DOCTOR THIS VERY TOPIC !! BTW.. DOCS MAKE BIG KICKBACKS W.PHARMA ON MANY NEW MEDS. THAT MAKES ME ANGRY. VERY ANGRY ..
Bernie was born September 1941. That makes him 82 in 2023. Why is Dr Oz saying he’s 77?
When was the interview?
Isn't this old show?
Hi Dr Oz almonds milk with tumeric every day pumpkin seeds help reverse all that
@user-em8pb1ql3z
Do you have a recipe for tumeric milk that actually tastes good? I assume you need to drink it warm.
I would have like to hear about things you could do to prevent Alzheimer’s. The right things to eat, the type of exercise, and if any supplements you could take.
When he brought up dividing our country, I thought he was talking about Biden, and then he said Trump. Everything he said is exactly what Biden is doing. I hope Bernie runs as an independent, and also RFK Jr.
I used to work with elderly people and few of them had Alzheimer’s but honestly all of them were very skinny and no fat belly at all so I don’t think I believe in that
He couldn't cure his mom. It's a horrible condition that has no cure...but I understand his concerns and his love for his mother. I have a sister that is showing signs. It's sad to watch.
Beautiful woman!!!! Daphne is HER TWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Sure! “Know your numbers”. Have fun getting your doctor and insurance to agree to these tests! $$$$
So if you see the signs what can you do? What the benefit of catching the signs early?
so you can start doing estate planning and medical and financial power of attorneys while you still can mentally do it. we almost did my moms too late.
Love Bernie 🫶🏼
