    2:25 Early signs of dementia
    5:15 Preventing dementia
    Today I’m going to cover six early signs of dementia. Keep in mind that these could also be signs of other things like a lack of sleep, a blood sugar problem, or many other things-not necessarily dementia.
    Dementia is a mental decline. Certain parts of the brain are actually shrinking-specifically the hippocampus.
    6 early signs of dementia:
    1. Difficulty organizing and planning things
    2. Personality changes
    3. Constipation
    4. Sensory dysfunction
    5. Language problems
    6. Problems navigating
    If you think you’re showing early signs of dementia, it’s best to act now. Don’t wait until it becomes a bigger problem.
    Important things you can do right now:
    1. Take vitamin B1 (nutritional yeast)
    2. Fix the gut (consume a variety of vegetables, get on a low-carb diet, consume organic foods, and do fasting)
    3. Consume sprouts (broccoli sprouts)
    4. Generate ketones (do intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting and take MCT oil or exogenous ketones)
    5. Consume ginkgo biloba
    6. Consume lion’s mane mushroom
    7. Consume omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and zinc, and get plenty of exercise and sleep

    63 years old I was convinced that I was starting down the dementia road. All 6 signs were with me. In retrospect two things were generating this decline and thankfully it has passed. 1. My personal life was in turmoil with not only marital problems, but with me "catastrpohising" everything. 2. Was hearing loss. This is huge and so few people recognize it. When every minute of your day the brain is working over heated trying to simply fill in all the gaps you cannot hear.... The processor overheats. Now with good highest quality hearing aid, and with following mindfullness in my daily life.... I'm sharp again at 73

    My mother-in-law had signs of dementia and we took her in for a full physical and it turned out she was actually severely anemic. The doctor put her on some high iron medication. It took three months but her iron went slowly up. After we got that fixed all her dementia symptoms were gone. I really appreciate your cautionary thing about not diagnosing your spouse.

    One thing I learned is that your elderly person can be suffering from a urinary tract infection (often brought on by a catheter). Suddenly my mother was talking out of her mind, saying weird things. The skilled nursing facility thought nothing of it. I insisted that something was wrong, so they sent her to the hospital for tests. My friend told me to have them check her urine. Sure enough, she had an infection. After a couple days on antibiotics, her mind was clear as a bell.
    None of the hospital staff knew this.

Luckily my sister who is a Nurse Practioner said no until they tested for UTI.

    Yes, my mom is dealing with dementia and a UTI made it worse. Years ago I went over her meds, took her off cholesterol meds (statins cause memory loss), and others she did not need. She got better. Sounded normal. She is now in a home, Kaiser prescribed amlodipine and I said NO! It causes memory loss and she is in MEMORY CARE AT THE HOME! I researched and found out that Fiji water that is high in silica flushes out aluminum through our urine. Also Taurine is good for memory loss, and vitamin B12. I put it in her nightstand and would give it all to her when I visited. I noticed yesterday that it was gone and questioned the main people at the home. They said they took it b/c they cannot allow any medications that are not on the Dr's list. I said TAURINE, CRANBERRY CHEWS AND B12 ARE NOT MEDICATIONS THAT'S WHY I WANT HER ON THEM. They said they need her Dr. to approve them. I said HER DR. APPROVED A BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION (AMLODIPINE) THAT CAUSES MEMORY LOSS!!!! You guys, you need to do your own research and demand things. They CAN get better!

Also families have brought items that actually are choke hazards. Call her Doctor, ask is they will prescribe and then the home will give them to her

    Both on my parents suffered from dementia. Both started showing signs at about 80, and both lived to be 89, but by the end neither one knew my name anymore. My dad actually got more easy going, but my mom became paranoid, combative and argumentative, and lost her great sense of humor. My brothers and I took care of her at home for years before a stroke put her in the hospital and then a nursing home the last 1 1/2 months of her life. Every day was a battle with her. She didn't want to do anything she needed to do, told each of us we didn't love her, accused us of trying to poison her when we gave her meds, told us we'd be glad when she was dead, and so on. It was really heartbreaking, and hard to deal with emotionally.

She called my sister and I bitches, almost broke my Dad’s finger, etc. It was heartbreaking because like other’s have mentioned this disease steals the wonderful personality of their parent. I came to this video because I just turned 50 and I’ve been wondering if dementia or other disease like it can be hereditary? After my Mom passed and we had learned more about dementia we realized that there were signs that slowly progressed over the course of 10 years that we missed. The big one was personality change. She became sad and angry. We all thought she was depressed, including her Dr. (that’s a whole other story) but that wasn’t the case completely. In the end she declined very rapidly and died the night before her 73 birthday. I’m sorry for everyone going through this with a loved one. xo

It was so sad she didn't know us anymore. But she felt comfortable and safe with us. But she hated my sister trying to do anything for her. But my Momma was my Best Friend.

    One thing I’d add to the list of causative factors is too much constant prescription medication. Most elders are on at least 12 medications working in combination. When I checked my mom’s meds out, everyone of them had memory loss as a potential side effect. When a person is going down that path the symptoms can seem like dementia and unfortunately they’re too out of it to be able to properly complain with an accurate description of what they’re feeling. So they’re written off as an age related dementia/Alzheimer’s patient. If a loved one is having cognitive issues the first thing I’d check is what prescription drugs are being taken and to gradually get them off every one unless absolutely needed. Most doctors are amazingly passive about this issue. Since their income streams are tied to this they’re only too happy to prescribe more. This over prescribing of drugs is the worst health destroyer there is. But it’s a goldmine for doctors.

      Do true, my mum started to change after she got on carbamazepine - which has strong associations with dementia and mood swings. Unfortunately, it would be too risky to take her off it, so we have to live with knowing that what she takes to not die is gradually destroying her brain.

      My father was prescribed oxycodon for nerve pain. After waiting a year to see a neurologist for this pain, dad gave up. He was certain he was developing dementia, not realizing it was the oxycodon combined with bereavement and family stressors. He was not given the help he needed and the wait for neurologist was just too long. So he took his own life. He thought he was being logical. And in an age-ist world, too many people have accepted this as o.k. It is not. He just needed real medical attention and counselling. I wasn't able to be there for him. My poor dad. A preventable death following another preventable death in the family a few months before. Our health care system is deteriorating. We need to educate ourselves where we can. But people need access to real health care too. Not just narcotics and other harmful drugs. When you have excrutiating nerve pain you should not have to wait 14 months to see a specialist.

    I’ve been showing all of these symptoms and I’m only 47. I believe it’s all of the stress, depression and anxiety I’ve been experiencing for a while now. But it’s also the sleep deprivation and how I’ve been practically living off of junk food for the same amount of time. I’m really scared that when I stopped drinking alcohol and quit my other addictions four years ago all I did was trade those problems for another; Sugar.
    I should know better as I’ve read about that happening to other people with addiction problems.
    But I just wanted to say: As always, you are absolutely spot on Dr. Berg. I’m so lucky that my fiancée got me to start watching your videos. You are a wealth of knowledge and from now on I’m going to put forth all the energy and effort I’ve got into putting your recommendations into practice and turn my life around once and for all. I’m still young and I want to live a long, fulfilling and happy life.
    Thank you for all of your amazing advice! 🙏

The mental symptoms were very much a major part of each infection and completely floored me each time. 23 years ago, but I would definitely still recognise the onset.

      A friend whose mother had dementia decided to take her from the nursing home and care for her at home. It wasn't easy, as her mom was a wanderer and they lived in a wooded area where she could easily get lost. During the final moments of her mother's life, just minutes before passing away, her mind suddenly cleared. She recognized her daughter, became articulate and told her she loved her. Obviously everyone can't care for their loved one at home, but this was such a special moment that my friend would cherish forever.

People generally don't associate motor skills and memory loss with anxiety but it does happen quite a bit. With treatment all these things do eventually get better. Also too I had no idea that an unhealthy gut affected cognitive abilities so badly. I appreciate you making this video because I learned something today.

They don't know what is going on and it is very difficult to watch someone you love suffer with this. We had to put alarms on all the doors because she would try to out. She was convinced my father (who had passed away 18 years ago), was living under her bed and would put plates of food for him under the bed. She couldn't understand why he wasn't eating. Very sad.

I witnessed so many things, both joyful and dreadful. It's difficult to accept a drastic change in a loved one who has been the foundation of the family.

She first organized the pantry top to bottom at 4 years old using a stool and it took her hours. She loved every second!!! Still does. It is so sweet and I love opening a drawer or door and seeing her special touch all over the house, her joyful special way makes our house so full of sunshine 🌞. She faces many challenges but it is worth every moment of struggle. Many times learning skills is like groundhog day, every day is the first day over and over until one day it clicks, sometimes as much as a year or more since beginning, and she just gets so excited. We have been in speech therapy since 3 years old and we work on reading every day, she is now 10 and has begun reading common sight words. It is so exciting to see her world unfold and open in new amazing ways as she can read signs and Bob books.

A dream they cannot wake from. Think about your dreams of being somewhere & you’re lost-can’t call home-can’t find your car/house ..you are just wandering around lost. That’s dementia.

      You're 100% right about this. No one knows why this is exactly, and I'm guessing that no one in the medical community talks about it because, like poly-pharmacy (many medications), it's something that implicates that community. As well, most surgeries are considered necessary, so perhaps it's considered "a necessary risk." It's too bad, though, bc we could instead be looking at alternative drugs to induce anaesthesia that wouldn't have this effect.

    In reality, you them before they're physically gone! My mom got dementia and her narcissistic personality turned sweet, kind and docile! When I looked after her, it was hard watching her decline but in a way, a joy to be with her, enjoying her company and it was complete inner healing for me and brought forgiveness for me towards her! I loved my mom, but looking after her was hard but easy with her personality turned sweet! My dad got dementia in the middle of my mom's decline but I didn't notice because I was so busy and beyond stressed being a single mother of 3 children, working part time, looking after my parent's, putting up with an narcissistic boyfriend and looking after his mom! My dad always had a bad temper and as time flew by, I became an empty nester, got rid of the boyfriend, his mom passed away and I ended up moving in with my parent's. My mom was in her 7th year with dementia and my Dad still refused to put her in a home! I looked after her full time with the help of home care nurse's but Dad became physically violent and sexually aggressive. Long story short, I saw markings on my mom, the police got involved, a Caseworker got involved, Mom was finally put in a hospital, Dad went to jail for 3 days, and so on. He blamed me, it got really worse. Mom passed away in the hospital in 2018, 3 days before my 50th birthday, than 2 months later I had to run for my life! That is what Dementia did to my Dad! He passed away this pass March of 2022 alone in his house and it's been so hard for me that I couldn't see him for three years. The guilt is so huge but I had no choice. Believe me, if the dementia didn't make him aggressive and violent, I truly would've cared for him. Love you so much Dad!🥰

      Long COVID. Same thing happened to me. I got vaccinated and it cleared it right up. I wasn't going to get the vaccine but then I heard it helped long COVID and I was able to taste and smell again. Also I had the "easy to choke on things" side effect too. That was fixed too.

    Benfotiamine….read on.
    Peripheral neuropathy caused chilblains in my toes and Raynauds in my fingers, my resting pulse rate doubled and I constantly sweated under my armpits, due to heat not being dissipated to my extremities.
    I also had serious concentration and memory problems…I think the constricted blood vessels that were noticeable in my body were also going on in my brain.
    Benfotiamine and alpha lipoic acid cured my peripheral neuropathy and also improved my mental faculties.

    One more suggestion...
    Make sure that your home does not have any mold, such as black mold or if you are in an old home make sure there's no lead paint or anything that could cause metal poisoning, Check tap water, because any of these can cause neurological problems too.

    Having ADHD I feel totally prepared for dementia. I mean, without serious coping mechanisms I used to forget things all the time even when I was 20. I will always need a way to organize and not forget things, and I imagine it will only get worse.

      I have adhd and the pills made me pick my hair out and I had terrible social anxiety and when I went off them at 14 I was more talkative and didn’t fidget and I started doing things I would never do like smoking weed and I did it a lot I’ve been smoking for 6 months consecutively and my problems got a lot worse I have a harder time organizing words and remembering what I did in the past 20 minutes and I don’t know what to do Becuase I quit 2 weeks ago and they won’t improve

    My hubby showing early dementia. It's inherited from his mother who died at age 54 of breast cancer and dementia. My hubby nowadays retired 65 yo but still working parttime. I radically changed his DIET with lots of veggies, fishes and fruits.pickled veggies esp or sauerkrauts. And giving him org. vits. And supplements . I can see the changes in his personality. He admitted it now upon seeing his handwriting that looks so messy and out of lines. And his speeches. Now he is happy to see his Kanji and hear his voice clearly. I research nonstop and he eats now what I have been eating since childhood..thanks to my both sides of parents families. His mental health doctors prescribed him two kinds of medication..s to slow down the progression of his dementia eventually after one year the doc prescribed him just one medication now to be taken in the morning only. Used to be one in the morning and one in the evening.. Used to be.. we got lost just going to the nearest mall and end up out of town even if I guided him and he wouldn't let me drive. He just couldn't accept it when I told him about his handwriting and speech. He went to mental institution only when his boss asked him what he had eaten during lunch
    He couldn't remember. Remember they had had lunch just ten minutes ago that day. The result he had mild dementia. The doctor and I came to conclusion that he needs to work to slow down his mental decline..until he gets that BLUE CARD from his pvt. doctor and local govt health agency will issue him this card. As a sign of deteriorating mental function. Incapable of holding any kind of Job..I'm glad and him esp the doctor that he came out fine and gaining weight and doing OK... until then
