He looks like Sheldon Cooper about 25 years older.
Go for it.Yell at people and stuff.
And ironically Korsakov’s is caused by a VITAMIN DEFICIENCY and not by the booze consumed. It’s because the booze is consumed instead of nourishment.
It is so extremely deleterious I’m not sure Cassidy could have it.
What a shame.
I thought he looked just like his father, but I can see Sheldon, too.
High alcohol consumption and/or malnutrition depletes thiamine in a huge way, causing a dementia that is called by several names, such as "Alcohol-related dementia (ARD)" and "Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome."
This type of dementia mimics Alzheimer's, but it will stop progressing or reverse when thiamine is restored.
Ordinary Thiamine is not well-absorbed orally. It is therefore given intravenously (200mg, three times per day) in the form of a "banana bag."
A synthetic thiamine called "Benfotiamine" is well-absorbed orally, but it does not significantly increase thiamine in the brain.
A synthetic thiamine called "Sulbutiamine" is well-absorbed orally and crosses the blood brain barrier. Sulbutiamine is also used as a smart drug by people without thiamine deficiency. Typical dosage is 400-1000 mg per day. Sulbutiamine is cheap and easy to get, so it is worth a try.
Benfotiamine has been studied as a treatment for Alzheimer's (references; PubMed), but Sulbutiamine seems like it would be far more effective. The researchers must suspect that Alzheimer's is related to thiamine deficiency.

Read the benefits. My sister says it really helped with her back pain. She said for the first time in years she had none.
