Monster In The Mind (Alzheimer's Documentary) | Real Stories

- Shocked to discover she is at high risk of Alzheimer’s, 83-year-old CNN veteran Jean Carper, (also the New York Times bestselling author of Stop Aging Now!, Food Your Miracle Medicine and Your Miracle Brain) embarks on a journey to face her fears and find out everything she can to avoid the disease.
Investigating Alzheimer’s place in the collective conscience, Carper laments that while working as a journalist earlier in her career, she had made a very different type of Alzheimer’s documentary and became “part of the propaganda machinery to sell Alzheimer’s to the public.”
Now, 30-years-later, Carper explores the astonishing story of a disease shrouded in mystery and branded by health care professionals with an outsized and undeserved sense of doom. Weaving together imagery from old horror films with her own experiences of high tech testing led by contemporary research leaders in the field, Carper boldly and at times humorously illustrates a societal fear reminiscent of the world’s most sensational science fiction, horror, and disaster movies. What arises is a surprisingly uplifting vision that can help us save ourselves and the world from dementia.

This is super sad. I still have to tell a little “uplifting” story, even though it is also sad. I worked at a dementia unit as a nurse for a while. We had one lady, maybe about 60 years old, with severe dementia. But - she wasn’t sad. She thought that everyday was a great dinner party she had invited everybody to. She thought we was servers at the dinner table and always made sure everyone had their drink, was full and she was a great host, really. It IS sad, because she didn’t remember much of her life, but I found comfort in her because I knew that dementia didn’t always make you sad or unhappy. She was happy and was very positive. Even though that might be a rarity, it made me a little less heartbroken to see her be happy.
Trude Thank you for sharing that. ❤

This was so sweet to read ❤
I’m dealing with my mom right now and sometimes I don’t know if I can do it.
My dad died of Alzheimer's...the all-time worst disease there is..to just slowly lose the ability to think for yourself...you can't figure out how to use your deodorant so you rub it on your face. You pour water all over your food and take all your clean clothes and throw them on the patio outside. After, you try to drag all the patio furniture in the house for no reason whatsoever. You have to be watched 24/7... you wander off all the time if you aren't watched non-stop. Iḿ so happy he is gone and released from that craziness... it was hard to see your dad turn into jello....
❤️🩹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🩹
We went thru this with hubby's mother.
She actually did pretty good and really with it till the finial stage.
She really understood that her days were short
She couldn't remember the name
But she said to me
How will she find me.
I had a gut feeling she wanted to talk to her best friend
Her friend was traumatized
But mom needed to say goodbye.
Then she waited for the other two children to arrive
Who was a bit miffed that she couldn't wait 3 more weeks to die
She passed within 24 hours
Her brother was not so lucky
@@lindaclose7708I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s hard to understand adult children to be so insensitive. My grandfather also died from the disease. It was so sad to see such an intelligent man die from this disease.
Thank you for your kind words
We lost his mother
He is still with me
And in fact were the only one with his mom
This round I'm alone
We have a conference visit with our Dr Monday
She's been with me as I've struggled to find a way to accept what's happening to him
It's more than the dementia
His back is in such an awful condition
Dr told us
He will loose control of bodily function
No warning
So start taking changes of clothes
I'm at a loss
I have asked him is he understanding
Yes he is
He chooses to live his life as normal as possible
Then cross each hurtle as it presents
I don't talk to friends and family any longer
Bc I can be a emotional mess
So
Pardon
My vent
Guess I shared mom
Now it's husband
The kids are nowhere
And after to stunts that's been pulled
And no
You can't make that much cruel stunts up
I've cut all communications
She does call and talk to him
And I dial the phone
When he wants to talk to her
I don't intend to keep them separate
Just be nice
My grandma has Alzheimer's and I took care of her for 5 years then she had to go to 24 hour care but even so it puts such a huge strain on the family and I don't mean that in a selfish way. It kills you as you slowly watch them mentally and physically whither into a shell of nothingness. You can see them scared and confused. It breaks my heart. I would never ever wish this upon my worst enemy.
sk8punk318 I know I was a caregiver for my mother for 5 years it broke me inside out,in my country there is just oldhomes and they are terrible,so I was there to the end! ,It's just awful! You have a nice family you loved her very much!
bless you for taking care of your grandma. It gets to a point where these loved ones need more then we can give.
I was going to make a comment on what you said, but i totally forgot what i was going to say.
Mirjana Pucarevic bless your heart. I can’t imagine the patience, love and strength you have. I felt absolutely crushed when we had to send her away because before she needed to move out of her house she told me to fight for her till the end so she could stay at home. She didn’t want to live out her life in a home but we didn’t have the money for someone to stay at her house basically 24 hours a day. I felt like I let her down and became so depressed for a while. I love my nana so much and I’d do absolutely anything to have her back. 😥
then this is what i shall wish on my worst enemy
I watched my mother slowly die from Alzheimer’s. I lost her way before she died. I pretty much had to go through it alone. My siblings were no help. Thankfully my husband and sons gave me support, particularly my oldest son. He has such a compassionate heart.
So sorry you had to live through that. I just lost my 86 yr old mom last month. I realize how fortunate her and I were that she didn't have this terrible disease. Condolences
Going through that with my mom for 5+ years, 3 siblings who do absolutely nothing and haven’t had a break yet. I’m so physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted I could fall asleep standing up
@@debby891 exactly what I’m going through now. So difficult. I’ve aged these passes 5 years taking care of my mother. Very hard. And siblings..yeah please. I don’t get any breaks. So I feel for you. Sorry you’re going thru this
@@LD-db3pt my heart breaks for you too. It’s not that we don’t appreciate our moms and we love them to the moon and back but the bitterness, resentment and hurt that comes from none of them caring enough to give us some much needed time to ourselves is what hurts the most. I’m 64, so exhausted in every way and don’t think it’s too much to ask that we share the time
Bless you for taking care of your mom at her most vulnerable stage
It's always awesome to see someone in their 80s with that kind of energy :D
My mom got Alzheimers 10 years ago, when she was 60 years old. I've really missed having her in my life in my 20s - her hugs, good advice and long talks! :'(
But I try to see the good in what is - when I visit her aat the home, she can still hold my hand and give me a smile
I think this was one of the best docs. I have never seen. I don''t find it sad at all, I find it uplifting and gives as all ways to work on and perhaps lower the chances. I can't believe not more people have seen it!
My grandmother is an Alzheimer's patient. It's been more than 12 years now. It has always been so sad to see her going through different stages of this ruthless disease. She was such a passionate, active, loving and caring woman and this disease robbed her off all the good things she deserved in life. But me and my family have been taking care of her all these years.. She's basically in the third stage now but deep down I believe she still remembers so much and carries a lot of memories as she sometimes recognizes our voices, responses when we call out to her, tries to speak when we are having a conversation and so on. We try to keep her in an environment full of love, care and support and I'm so glad my family chose this. Our helpers are amazing and patient with her. She is blessed indeed.
I hope few years down the lane, they find a cure for this disease. In a world where everything is possible, i refuse to believe that there is no cure for this. It's just a matter of time.. It's just so sad to see my dear Ma suffer from this horrible disease and we cannot help her get out of it. But I hope other people in the future can because no one deserves to suffer from this❤️
It's such a sad and scary disease. My grandpa had it for many years. You're doing a great job. Just love her.

Arsheena Piya What do you want a medal?
My grandmother had it and unfortunately passed away a year ago Feb. 12, 2018. My grandpa took care of her all the time until her final two weeks in hospice. I feel your pain, but months after her passing, I look at it this way. She was sick and tired of being sick and tired, as was the family anf friends. She doesn't have to suffer any more and no one has to see her suffer.
Fortified Mind Thank you for sharing.
It is horrible seeing patients at the end stage of this horrible disease. 99% of my drive home from work I cry. They're alone meaning rarely getting visutors, bed ridden, and I wouldn't want to end up like that. If I ever get diagnosed I plan to die with dignity.
To all who read this PLEASE just call, text or actually see someone you care about who’s getting older and actually spend some time with them if you don’t already. You never know what’s going to happen. Words just cannot describe these last 10 years since my grandma was diagnosed. You would think you would get used to it but such major changes physically, mentally, financially and emotionally still haunts me almost everyday. Just NEVER give up on them, be patient and have love and compassion for them. They literally don’t know any better. Life is way too short, there’s no need for hatred and discrimination in ones life.
My grandmother died in 1982 from Alzheimer’s & some other health issues. Now my father(her son) is dealing with it. He is 8 yrs into his diagnosis. He definitely had some of the lifestyle don’ts discussed in this documentary but I can’t help but wonder how big a part genetics play. I was always worrying about my chances(which I assumed was 50/50) until I watched this. I’ve decided that I can do my best to stay as healthy as possible but I cannot live my life worrying if I too will be a victim. In closing I would like to thank Ms. Carper for a fantastic documentary & to let everyone who is affected by this disease know they are not alone & prayers are being said.
Kim W: You heard it. Jean Carper has the APOE4 gene but she is much healthier than most people who *don't* have it. I'm convinced that nutrition and lifestyle are everything when it comes to this disease.
Lost my mom to Alzheimer's. It took her within two years. She slipped out of the house one day and took the car for a joyride, so we ended up putting her in an Alzheimer's facility. She thought she was on vacation at a resort, so she was pretty happy. The heartbreaking day was when she didn't recognize me anymore. I miss her every day.
My mom passed away 2 weeks ago from Alzheimer's. She was the best mom and woman I could ever be blessed in knowing and being born to. Never a negative word never had an enemy just that kind of woman. Im scared to live without her and angry that no matter how healthy she lived and actively was roller blading, biking, skiing, and plain put eating well it was her brain that betrayed her. My grandfather died 25 years ago so my likelyhood of having it is very high but scares me for my grandbabies. I wish all of you and your families the very best and you're not alone in this fight.
Now that ive watched enough i want to say i dont believe this bs that living healthy can keep it away because even at 65 my mom as i said was avidly doing everything healthy and active as well as my grandfather. I just had a memory about spinach at his house when i was 8 lol gagged. I understand being healthy and active doesnt guarantee but 2 people that were yet 2 people died from Alzheimer's. Im not convinced.
Nicole Barnett I'm sorry for your loss.
im scared for my kids as well I have lupus Ra just found out have to look after grandma early stages but I have felt the grief of not being able to live like normal people can mine was caused by my diet no more processed food for me ever again or limit as much as possible looking at my kids thinking i would not live long enough see them have grandbabies i am nearly 50 now had it for 20 years now the menopause catching me up as well as being a caregiver 24/7 as well as working in dementia home part time thankfully i resisted going full time. i was told i can not get vitamin d as i am very very low that is where i have arthritis from it is the uv one so i can not spend time in the garden she is a gardener so we used to fight all the time im photosensitive
I hope you're doing well after these years and still have these amazing memories of her and that you're not scared at all anymore.
If they were so serious they would look at the foods we eat. It has to be something that we all are doing that's causing this.
Jean is still alive to this day 💕
she looks AMAZING for 83
She looks her age lol
@@kadeelacayo4806 she doesnt look a day over 90
Thank you Jean , you have really inspired me , and this was the most Incredible Documentary I have watched on Health 🙏🏻💖
The reason the ones that live into their 90s don’t have Alzheimer’s is probably because if they had Alzheimer’s they wouldn’t live that long.
Yuri Ivanov I work with Alzheimer’s disease and we have a whole lot 90 year olds that I care for
My mum is 96 next Sunday and she only developed dementia about 2 to 3 years ago. She was always very active and fit. So it does happen to people over 90
I feel like they should stop spending that much money on trying to make drugs that don't work and spend that money on making the patient's lives better. Imagine what good $10 billion could do for these sufferers and their families
This woman is incredibly brave.
Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food
My dad passed last May from Alzheimers and his brother the year before! I walk and raise funds every year to help find a cure!!
That is very admirable but be careful who you give your money to because most research charities are not interested in finding the cause of the disease. Their aim is to fund research so they can manufacture treatments which is different to finding the cause, this way they'll make huge profits and keep sufferers dependant, often with minimal benefits. Its a bit like cancer, how many billions and billions have been raised and still no end in sight.... Its just nonsense to think they don't know the cause of cancer, they do know, but its not in their interest to tell us.
Grandpa had it and he passed awhile ago. 10 years before his death he could dance and sing with my now deceased grandma. But then he just started deteriorating. He really began losing it, we had to put him in a nursing home. Towards the end he thought people were drinking mini crocodiles and that they were in the drinking water. At that point, he had no emotions and his eyes were so dull and lifeless. However, he stilled remembered everyone who came to visit him. I miss him all the time.

My 45 year old best friend can't remember important events we did together in our twenties that I vividly remember. She won't go to a doctor. Memories from 8 years ago are hard for her to recall. I'm worried.
Jean, I can not believe just how devastating Alzheimer’s could? be by 2050 if there has been no cure found. I, like you, from time to time have pondered the fears of having Alzheimer’s in my older ages, being here yet not here, totally cared for by others while going through the various stages. I know that worrying and focusing on what might never be is an issue in and of itself's. Worrying and stress on a person can certainly add to the potential to become unwell. If I was told I have Alzheimer’s,I would choose the time of my passing, I would open that door myself and walk through to the other side before I am not me. others I'm sure feel very different and I totally understand, I really try now to stay focused on where I'm going and not the what if's. I take certain vitamins which have been life altering beneficial. Listening to your video I learned so much and yet I need to watch again to take it all in. It is a very interesting subject, good job putting the story together so we can change the future. All the best, Cat.
Thankful for this documentary and for Jean Carper !!! Thank you so much Jean.
Very Educative and awareness of the monster dementia of having terrible nightmares that put u into panic n scary situation
Wow. Incredible documentary
Miss Carper did a great job on this report. The people she interviewed are on the cutting edge of research. We all need to pay attention to them. We all need bigger brains, and I personally, need a lifestyle overhaul that might be too late as I'm 58. Music is important also.
That lady: friggin 80 and traveling the world for alzheimer's
study
Me in my 20s: welp, my back hurts, time to take a 3 week break playing minecraft
My grandmother passed away because of Alzheimer's she suffered a lot rest in peace grandmother
This wonderful lady, is such a great cheer leader! I just love her !!! XO
EVERYONE PLEASE WATCH THIS
Alsheimer's ruined my grandma's old age, one of her sister's old age, and my teenage. My nannie's sisters lived with us, in a 3 bedroom house with me and my sister and my alcoholic dad. Imagine somebody going on a drunken rage while another person is asking whether she peed or not, over and over. In retrospect it's kind of funny. My non-senile aunt used to lose her patience and say, "what should I do Ida, where a sign?" after being asked the same question about 75 times. And you have to keep an eye on people with Alzheimer's because they WILL wander off.
With my grandma it was better since she had married a Canadian and was a citizen. She was in a home about 1/2 mile down the street from her house and was staffed by residents of the small 1200 person town. It was free and she also got a social security check from being a nurse in the U.S. - Canadians treated their elderly very well 40 years ago but the last time I saw her she kept on asking for the "other" Daivd. I had grown a beard.
In the UK we had a sitcom called "you're only young twice" and yes based in a residential home for older people.
38:40 "People should forget about Alzheimer's disease"
I believe its the unproven theory of plaque on the brain which disturbes the messages and also that part of the brain that deals with memory... I am only 55
As a geriatric nurse for 22 years, it's true that it's such a sad debilitating disease. No cure and no ideas where it comes from. Just like autoimmune disease. No cures no idea exactly why we get them. Sjogrens is my affliction. Part hereditary part environmental they say. Just like the way they talk about Alzheimer's disease. Who knows? No one!! Sad.😢😔
ive not watched this vid yet, but its the western lifestyle. when they introduce western foods to other countries all diseases go up as well as alzhiemers. there's a place in italy where they still live off the land, the western lifestyle doesnt exist there, no mcdonalds, no processed foods. out of the 2000 people that live there 300 of them are over 100yrs old, very little disease, very little alzhiemers.
sayianbone I do believe a healthy lifestyle can benefit everyone to prevent some diseases, but in some cases there is bad luck as well. My dad got (young) Alzheimer’s when he was 62, he never smoked, never drank alcohol, had an active lifestyle and was a marathon runner. He is now 65 and he is nowhere near his old self :(
@@LifeofaVoodooDoll yeah, that really sucks. I feel such sadness when I hear stories like that. My heart goes out to him.
Life of a Voodoo Doll sad to hear, and how he got it so early. Early onset illnesses are provoking, to me at least. Just because they haven’t had the opportunity to live healthy for longer. My grandma died of MS at the age of 42. At that age he was completely immobile and so so lost in his mind. Imagine finding your husband on the floor at the age of 42 because he suddenly got paralysed. That’s just 10 years away from me😳 I worry a lot about getting deadly illnesses early, but maybe that put me at a higher risk?😳 I hope your dad has a loving good environment around him, even though he might not know it like he did before 💕💕 sending love too you from Norway 🇳🇴 💕
@@LifeofaVoodooDoll yes, and we have sayianbone who just knows better than everyone else... The people who are left after the hardships of life 'on the land', (like in Sardinia) it should be inquired as to how many siblings died in early childhood etc. etc., the toughest of the tough are still alive and have their marbles.
Don't assume, as the end of this documentary indicates clearly, that there's some sort of magic solution to prevent dementia.
The key is to live life to the fullest and come what may. Have no regrets. Have no fear. Because, bottom line, anything can happen to any of us at any time.
I know it's good info and this video. I've lived with depression most my sober life. And all at once everything evaporated. Loss of my son did it for me. And I had already walked a rugged mile. So not knowing anyone especially myself would be a blessing. Monster Mash? Wow. I'm seeing my dad now in early stages.
I watched my sister die frm lung cancer. 2yrs prior, she had her lobe cut off her lung. A yr later, they said she was cancer free. In a matter of months, it filled both lungs, into her blood n bones. Her spine n rubs were disintegrating n t cancer was eating thru her skin.....it was horrible. I quit in 1998 n I'm glad I did!!!!!!!
I am 52 years with Alzheimer’s disease
My aunt died about 2 years ago from Alzheimer's disease. I have Asperger's and suspected she did. I'm almost 36 and already have symptoms of memory loss just like she did. I think the two are linked...
Don't say that. I have Asperger's too. I am loopy, but then again, I always was. If I do get this, I would commit suicide.
Alzheimer's is a disease that has not touched many people in my family except for one which was my great grandmother. The signs are showed early on around the age of 60-70. My grandma could tell you something that happened 20 years ago but was unable to tell you what she had for lunch that day. The disease is a monster on the brain simply because of how it takes away your quick memory but has you remembering things from the age of 5. My greatgrandmother never lacked energy which was shocking considering that she was 82 yrs of age before she had passed but this disease tends to do that for most people. My great grandmother would also some days be very sweet and very mean which is also a symtom of the disease the mood swings were very crazy.
I am not a doctor in any way... BUT, Ill bet you this will have something to do with the high sugars in ALL the foods these days added to raise profits.
sean michael its been around since shakespheres times
very good documentary!! this lady is wise and hip!!
This is the only disease, aside from addiction, that effects the loved ones more so than the actual patient. My MIL has no idea she is sick anymore. She's stage 6 and can still talk, and go to the bathroom by herself but nothing more than that and she's so blissfully unaware anything is wrong. But it's killing her husband and son (my husband) as well as me and our kids who watch her decline every single day. I think people shouldn't be worried about whether or not they will get it but do what they can to ensure their loved ones will be prepared to take care of them if they do. Family, loved ones, and care givers honestly need more support than the actual patient.
This was just incredible!!!
Watch the movie "The Father" with Anthony Hopkins. It shows how he suffers with alzheimers. It's pretty heavy. Definitely cried alot. If I ever get alzheimers I would hope I can have the wherewithal to walk into the ocean and take a deep breath. I would rather do that than suffer and allow my family to suffer.
Great documentary
My aunty passed away 3 weeks ago due to this illness. Maybe Omega-3 at least 1.5g daily dose could help? Omega oils are to nerve cells what protein is to muscle.
Hi first of all my condolences for your loss.. My Fave aunty also has full dementia.. im curious as too how or what you know about omega?
I would google that. Too long to write about. It has been used in children with learning disabilities, who turn out to have too little omega 3. The lady in the documentary said her blood had high Omega 3 (this was after I wrote my comment) because of the salmon she eats and this may be contributing to her healthy brain with zero signs of dementia/Alzheimers. It is so simple to use and inexpensive too. The Krill Omega 3 costs more, but its more potent so the capsules are smaller and easier to swallow especially for the elderly. There is too little research because you cannot patent something in nature like a nutrient and very often Doctors do not prescribe something that does not clock up their frequent prescriber miles. I have used it myself and while it did not have an effect immediately (took about 3 weeks) I noticed my memory was much better and my chronic depression went away to the point I do not need to take the Bupropion medication and put up with the weird side effects it gave me. I take 6000mg per day of ordinary cheap fish based Omega 3. I think Olive Oil and some other oil based on some seed, I cannot remember which, also has Omega 3 & 6 so use those for cooking. Vitamin B complexes are also cheap to buy, they turn your urine yellow which is safe and shows it is being absorbed. The kidneys discard the excess. That is enough to get started. Try these, even if you do not have Alzheimers as prevention is better than cure. I am certain you will start to feel better after a month. It costs me like 20 euro cents per day to do this. I also noticed my swimming improved, I had more power and did not run out of breath even though I swam harder. Omega 3 is supposed to be good for the heart and even the blood vessels I believe.
Water fasting for 7 days upwards will prevent Alzheimer's.
At least once a year if not quarterly.
Plenty of evidence here on YT, see for yourself.
If you would like a more in-depth answer feel free to ask :-D
so sorry for your loss. my mother has Alzheimers. it's a bad disease.
I'm sorry for your
Loss
Congratulations, Jean Carper! Looks like you're doing *everything* right.
Seems she has found the cure
Its lifestyle
It's possible that exposure to heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum contributes to the non-genetic pathology of Alzheimer's disease. Herpes infections may play a role as well.
I work with people who have this and it is sad to see
Me too . It's heartbreaking 😭💔
I am a nurse on a memory care unit. It is very heartbreaking.
Are the researching the cure right now ?
I also work with them.It is very scary.I watch them gradually slip away into nonsense talk and confusion.I do the best I can to help them have the best life they can have.They are still able to smile and even laugh, which is amazing, considering what they're experiencing.
With the exponential growth of scientific and medical development, I'm hoping that they can solve this soon.
Great video. Eating lots of non-greasy spicy food is apparently a good deterrent. Turmeric, Ginger, and yes blueberries are also very good.
I've read about blueberries. They are a nightshade and cause inflammation in my joints. I can't have them. There must be more we can do.
There’s literally no proof of this . Eating healthy is just good
I have dementia have had it for awhile now from head trauma
I look after my mother who is 79 who has Alzheimer's it is very hard and her mother had it to she died at 87 so my sister and I are afraid that we will get it i hope they can find a cure.
Some data suggests nano aluminum contributes to Azheimers. Not from cooking pans, not from deodorant, from NANO aluminum. This doesn't exist in nature but is present in the human body. High Altitude aerosols do however contain massive quantities. Present in mountain snow, trees, and you.
I'm 36 and being diagnosed with bilateral frontal lobe gliosis ( leak on my brain) I ha a 8 week headache I HD a mri scan so I can end up with this disease
Very interesting documentary...:)
my mother has Alzheimer it's a cruel disease. I hope I never get this disease.
Jean Carpet is exactly how I want to be at 80. She is amazing
My grandma was just diagnosed with dementia. She forgot where she lived the other day. Tg she was inside her building.
This was so educational, very interesting.
Thank you for this uplifting report ! ✨💋✨😍✨👏🏼
My great grandfather my grandmother and grandfather and my uncle all died from this it's awful and said i worry i will get it too..
maybe the fact that we are all living longer, maybe a cause to
That was also my thought! plus the chemicals we ingest these days and pollutants in the air!
Informative doc...thank you Jean.
44:50, "I did it!!...sort of" 🤣 dead af lmao
Blame television...my nana called it the idiot box, for good reason.
Heartbreaking disease.😞😢
My dear friend just passed Feb. 11 from Alzheimer's
Audree Armey sorry for your loss. X
Thx
Look at the largest proportion of the people: they are sitting in their chair, watching mainstream TV. This is one of the main factors (in my opinion) that causes brain damage plus your diet, e.g. nutrition. They are no longer curious about life and have no desire to learn a new language or something else. This is my little experience here in Germany. All around undernourished people in front of pizzas and softdrinks watching "Germany's next top model"... T H I S is sad and no wonder they will be probably getting Alzheimer's.
To all the scientific community, please try to find a way to eliminate that disease. People suffer too much and I think God gave us the ability to create our own ways to live better and take care of our loved ones. God bless you all
Well... I have generalized anxiety disorder.... But I'm also very conscientious.... but my anxiety is what makes me so. Dun dun duuuunnn CONTRADICTION lol
Saw, Taw, Naw, Maa. Now if I can just remember to say these!
they mention cortisol levels through stress, coffee increase cortisol level that are similar to when youre stressed!
This is the next cash cow for big farma
Enough people is learning there is!! A cure for cancer
Keep up the good work
Education creates wiser consumers
Did I understand correctly: Alzheimer's disease does not always cause dementia and that there are other brain diseases that cause dementia with a much greater likelihood? Would it be better to donate money to, say, Hippocampal Sclerosis -research, then?
Dementia is a syndrome. It consists of 100's of diseases, including Alzheimer's. They said that Alzheimer's consists of 30-50% of all dementias. The challenge is the campaign to make Alz more prevalent than it really is. It's all about the money.
Alzheimer’s always causes dementia since it causes progressive and widespread brain damage. It is the reason for roughly 60% of dementia cases. So if you want to donate money to fight dementia, giving it to Alzheimer’s research is probably a good choice.
Frontal lobe dementia for the most part as with my 87 year old mother.
I’m 25 and I’m losing my memory already . Probably due to overworking ! Xx
so many doctors who know the cure in the comment section...
So many nutters too.
John Bergman on YT is a very real and great doctor that has not been corrupted by the medical industry. He shares for free many great videos on anything from A to Z. th-cam.com/video/X52ocvJZseo/w-d-xo.html
My mom had Frontemporalndementia at 59died at 64 few month ago.She was healthy and we didn't have this in her family! They know nothing about this ilness nothing!
Miriana we shouldn't obsess over inherited diseases, there are very few of them to begin with. chances are she was the only one to have it . Bless her soul . may your mum rest in peace
I'm so sorry for your loss
Very sorry for your loss. Your mother was so young to die from this cruel disease.
God bless Jean!
the medical world asociates Alzheimer with older age..........but dr. Alois Alzheimer's patient was 51 years old !
Back then, 51 was very elderly . Most patients that get it are into their 70s
Today it is considered “early onset” if it happens before age 65.
I only say: epigenetic! This is the key.
27:51 can't believe she said Karma causes Alzheimers
My gran is starting to forget things, I love her so much I go visit her in Poland some times but she’s starting to repeat the same questions and information quite a bit a day, is this the start?
no we all do this, repeating is good its forgetting entirely that's the actual first sign. she is doing fine most likely. give her a good hug and be there for her.
Lechiffresix six thank you and I’ll do that 😊
Sorry to tell you but yes it is, my wonderful mum started like that, and it's soul destroying watching your clever witty fun loving mum with a razor sharp memory forgetting the love of her life my dad's name, not knowing who her beloved grandsons were, and finally me her only child, not only was she my brilliant mum but she was my best friend, I was blessed that I had 55 years with her, and I miss her every single day, but it is a cruel disease and one I would never wish to see any one else have.
Alison Smith oh, I’m sorry about your mum , I don’t want my gran to have it worse I can’t visit her often but I was there last year and I realised that she literally repeats her questions about me and my brother or ask me things quite a lot she’s my only gran my hearts breaking to hear this
@@olaaa3303 Thank you for you kind words, we lost my mum in 2017, with all her family with her at the end. With all the love in the room for her as she passed away I like to think maybe at the end she knew we were all there for her, for all the wonderful years of her love to us. Your mum is a special person in your life and some of us get lucky and get a diamond, I got a diamond called Magaret, my mum.
I work in a dementia home and a lot of the residents had past traumatic incidents and depression/anxiety and or had stressful jobs like most of our female residents are nurses what the link is I’m not sure.
Also a lot of alcoholics…that’s the pattern I’ve seen.
"We got 40 years to fix this or we all have it" a.k.a were all screwed soon
Wow damn.
i wonder if micro dosing could help .
Skip to 56:43 for a laugh
My grandma died from this in May 2018 we were like sisters I miss her so much! My grandpas love is gone he took care of her every day so it’s even harder for him in a house alone ! My 8 year old cried every day !
Girl its hard. my workmate buried her mum in october and her care giver was the husband. its sooooo sad to see. they were married for 62 years. a lovely carribean couple.
Cannabis Oil could help!
THC has been found to slow the progression of Alzheimer's Disease in some cases. It's possible it can help.
29:27-29:41...……... His chuckle and smirk at GOD I found rather telling.
How can genetics not play a role, especially if we're talking about familial Alzheimer's?
Did you not watch the documentary. Maybe watch it again
It doesn't matter what you do or don't do to prevent this disease. This is a fallacy. I suppose it gives hope but there is nothing you can do. Food, exercise, word games etc...all just false hope.
There are many well known risk factors for dementia, and they are all the usual ones we already hear about - not exercising, poor diet, overweight, poorly managed diabetes, heart disease, etc. So you *should* eat healthy and exercise and control your weight.
