John Hopkins Medicine ^ | Unknown | Staff

Alzheimer disease is a brain disorder that causes memory loss, confusion, and changes in personality, and gradual loss of independence. It is a type the most common type of dementia. At first, people with this disease have only a small amount of memory loss and confusion. This is called cognitive decline. But over time, these symptoms get more severe.

The disease progresses through 3 main stages of symptoms. In the final stage, people with Alzheimer disease may be unable to talk with family members or know what is going on around them.

This disease can’t be cured. Healthcare providers and caregivers often focus treatment on slowing the process and ensuring a good quality of life for everyone involved.

Biden is a loudmouth racist. The Bidens won’t fare well in a care facility.

An important issue in treatment is the fraud and corruption on Alz. Early on some TWOT chasing grants diddled with documents and data so that he could claim that plaques in the brain were at fault. So, for years the MedEstab got sidetracked chasing a cure for a symptom that did not exist.
The jerk that did this is responsible for everyone and their families that suffered from Alz. Kinda like Invermectin was a treatment for the WuhanFlu but the ones chasing $$$ buried it — malpractice.

Does it include endless false and vicious libel against white people?

AND YET!!!!

Take care of a loved one to the end, take photos and videos...to the end....and 5 years later looking at them....your heart will soar with love having known them before and throughout EVEN this long time.

Trust God’s Plan. You will understand it only in hindsight, if even then.

Purgatory is no better, might be much longer.

I worked with and donated to an organization in Israel called Melabev https://www.melabev.org.il/en/about-melabev/. I got to know a few of the directors and heard some of the stories. I wonder how far along Biden is. One of the directors joked that the nice thing is that you can have a birthday party one day, and the next day can have another one because the patient would have forgotten yesterday. I wonder if Biden can remember his own birthday. Very sad. We are in big trouble and only God can get us out of this mess.

Alzheimer's has been associated with vascular health i.e. what's good for your heart is good for staving off Alzheimers.

And what is the best thing for heart health? A low fat (not no fat) majority plant-based diet and exercise, consistently.

Look up the doctor who found bacteria in Alzheimer’s plaques.

Then ask yourself how the bacteria got past the blood-brain barrier.

My ex mother-in-law has this. She can’t remember how to tell time. And she calls my ex-wife her mother.

Alzheimers also can’t be definitively diagnosed without an autopsy.

There's 10 forms of dementia.

Medical science lists as many as 100. Alzheimer's is just one but it appears to be the most server. Biden reminds me of my poor mother in her final days.

He is getting through the ‘reset’ phase, where they start repeating the same exact thought twenty minutes later. I have known a few dementia and they all had the ‘reset’ phase.

True.

But the symptoms are clearly there.

I watched my mother being stolen away by it until she was gone. I saw it every day in the nursing homes I worked in , I see in the ER I work in and sadly I'm staring to see it in my wife.
