That would be great. It’s a horrible disease/condition.

Alzheimer’s is preventable NOW.

They want you to believe it will take a drug to correct it.

Good luck with further dependency upon your doctor; you’re all going to need it if you fall for this tripe.

Havne’t bold medical claims like this been done the past few decades, and those did not come to fruition?

Good post. Here’s what Dr. Weil has to say about it:

Alzheimer’s Disease Prevention

Courtesy of Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging, Your Online Guide to the Anti-Inflammatory Diet.

To help prevent the form of dementia known as Alzheimer’s Disease, do the following:

Get regular physical activity, 30 minutes of aerobic activity most days of the week. It increases the flow of blood to the brain and can lower the likelihood of Alzheimer’s by 30 to 50 percent.

Eat omega-3s. Oily fish (like wild Alaskan salmon, sardines and herring), walnuts, fortified eggs and freshly ground flaxseeds all provide omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked with reducing inflammation.

Take supplements and vitamins. Vitamins E and C are good choices, and B vitamins can help lower blood levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s.

Stay mentally active. Read newspapers and books, dance, do crossword puzzles, play musical instruments, participate in ongoing education, learn a new language.

I’ve read that niacidimide will reverse the plaques.

Incidence of alzheimer’s is much higher in south India than in the rural North. In the South it is comparable to other countries.

I would add: avoid sugar, metabolic syndrome, and processed foods.

Some in the medical community are calling Alzheimer’s “Type 3 Diabetes”, in other words the toxic protein plaques are made worse by sugar and starches which cause wild blood sugar and insulin swings. It contributes to the inflammation pathways.

Your post wasn’t to me, but my attitude (my mom has Alzheimer’s) is control what you can with diet and exercise, and avoid drugs that affect ANY functions of your brain. That includes statins, which I think are evil.

Even if you happen to have a genetic tendency to dementia, that doesn’t mean it’s your fate. There’s the concept of epigenetics, overcoming your genetic fate by environmental factors.

Interesting. Did some cursory research.

India has a tad less dementia cases than the U.S. yet they have a billion more people.
Only 5% of alzheimers occurs ( diagnosed ?) prior to 65 years of age.
Symptoms to diagnosis is approx. 3 years.

How much does age factor into it ? It has to count for something.
Alzheimer’s is still an older peoples disease, so I started looking at life expectancy. ( Japan doesn’t fit )

Life expectancy in India is approx. 69 years. Approx. 4 million dementia\alzheimers cases in India.
Life expectancy in U.S. is approx. 79. Approx. 5.5 million dementia\alzheimers cases in the .U.S. with 5.3 million 65 years or older.

Life expectancy in Japan is almost 84 years. Japan has 124 million people and 4.4 million have dementia.
Life expectancy in Nigeria is 53 years. Nigeria has 186 million people. They have a low death rate for dementia\alzheimers - 3.29 per 100,000 ( I haven’t been able to quickly find hard figures)

Some people just don’t live long enough to have it diagnosed. ( Kinda like cancer in the U.S. in the 1800’s and early 1900’s )
