The End of Alzheimer’s written by neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen. In his new book he offers a program to prevent and even reverse this Disease.
I know how this debilitating disease can affect your entire family and become a real encumbrance for the care giver.
My mother has Alzheimer’s and my father is her primary care giver. This is taxing on him. Due to the stress level I fear that my father may pass away before my mother does. Therefore to understand this disease you have to have someone in your family or a good friend with this disease. I am experiencing this first hand and I don’t wish this on my worst enemy.
When I hear there could be a way to reverse this horrific disease I see a glimmer of light and find some hope. I understand there are many people with this disease and with dementia, which many times causes bickering amongst families.
This is the time family must pull together, but more often than not, there are some family members that pull their weight more than others. So we are all different. At this times we have to pull together, reunite for our loved ones, but it doesn’t seem to happen this way.
I will share my story with you at some point, but in the meantime I want to share something that I found very interesting. Where there is life there can also be hope.
I’m not sure whether you have already seen this episode on Dr. Oz, but if you are the primary care giver of someone with Alzheimer’s or know someone who is and who have lost all faith and is despondent, this video may provide some relief and consolation.
