Alzheimer's caregivers

Posted 02:14 PM November 04, 2008

Who feel it, knows it.

Alzheimer's disease has a profound emotional impact on the family. Fear, denial, anger, resentment, guilt, embarrassment, and grief are all normal reactions. Getting a diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience, and when the diagnosis is uncertain, the family may feel suspended between hope and despair. In either case, it's important that family members not succumb to inaction because, as difficult as it may seem, several vital issues must be addressed immediately. Each situation is different, but family members must plan for the future. And people in the early stages of Alzheimer's should be encouraged to participate in the process. The following discussion outlines basic matters that need to be addressed.

Legal matters
There will come a time when the person with Alzheimer's can no longer manage his or her affairs. Do not assume that you'll have advance notice. Alzheimer's disease is unpredictable, and the person whose cognitive problems seem mild may unexpectedly make irrational decisions with disastrous consequences. If possible, legal documents should be executed while the person is still competent.

competency
The issue of legal competence is complex. Essentially, all adults are presumed competent to make decisions. Incompetence, which can be determined only by a court, is usually based on a person's functional abilities, not simply on the basis of diagnosis. What's more, incompetence can be difficult to prove. Poor business sense and memory lapses, for example, are not sufficient evidence of incompetence.

A legal document called a durable power of attorney is usually the most straightforward way for a person to grant another person (generally the caregiver) the power to make decisions on his or her behalf regarding property, residence, and other financial affairs. A durable power of attorney also permits the person to delegate certain responsibilities that are proving difficult, such as managing money or paying bills.

The authority that is handed over can be very narrow or quite broad. For example, you might give someone the authority to sell your car or to make all financial decisions, including selling your home, managing your assets, and dealing with the Internal Revenue Service. The durable power of attorney can be written so that it starts as soon as it's signed, or it can go into effect at a future point in time, for example, if you become incapacitated.

A trust is another method of authorizing an individual or institution to manage someone's affairs. A trust is more far-reaching and complex than a durable power of attorney. Trusts allow you to officially gather assets, including a house, money, stocks, and so forth, and place them in a legal entity. While you're alive, you are the trust's beneficiary. You may control distributions yourself or through trustees elected to carry out your wishes at a time or point that you specify. When you die, the trustees distribute remaining assets to the other beneficiaries whom you chose. The wishes you relay through a trust can take effect today, if you like, or upon a triggering event, such as when you can no longer handle your own affairs because of mental or physical incapacity.

Executing a durable power of attorney or trust is far simpler than trying to establish a guardianship (also called conservatorship or committeeship), which requires court hearings and proof of incompetence. Some family lawyers are willing to handle the necessary legal documents. If yours is not, he or she may refer you to another lawyer.

Diet for healthy living.

Posted 02:07 PM November 04, 2008

Diet

Just as some dietary fats can protect against cardiovascular disease and others can increase the risk, several studies suggest that the same is true for Alzheimer's disease. Diets that are high in damaging saturated fats and trans fats appear to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, whereas diets that are high in heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats appear to decrease the risk. Saturated fats come mainly from meat and dairy, and trans fats from processed foods made with partially hydrogenated oils. Sources of healthy unsaturated fats include nuts, olive oil, canola oil, and fish such as  SALMON and COD.

A 2004 study on Health and you, for example, followed 1000 cognitively normal people ages 50 and older for eight years. By the end of the study, the people who ate the most saturated and trans fats were twice as likely to have Alzheimer's disease as the people who consumed the least. However, the people who ate the most mono- and polyunsaturated fats were 76% less likely to develop Alzheimer's than the people who ate the least of these healthy fats.

Several other studies have found a benefit specifically from eating fish that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat. Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are good sources. One 2007 study in health and you found that people who ate fatty fish more than twice a week had a 38% lower risk of dementia and a 46% lower risk specifically of Alzheimer's disease than people who ate fatty fish less than once a month. This study did not find a protective effect from eating lean fried fish.

Many unanswered questions about diet remain, however. It is unclear whether fish oil supplements are also beneficial. If fish does reduce the risk of various types of dementia, it could be because of its protective effect against cardiovascular disease. But fish may also benefit the brain directly. In a 2007 study reported in health and you on Aging, researchers found that a diet supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids limited the accumulation of beta-amyloid in the brains of mice bred to develop Alzheimer's disease. Whether people would enjoy the same benefit remains to be seen, but in the meantime, it can't hurt to replace the unhealthy fats in your diet with healthy ones.

Signs and symptoms.

Posted 05:55 AM October 30, 2008

Signs and symptoms.

Question ask by most peoples?

1. How can we tell if memory loss is caused by Alzheimer's disease?
2. Are there any symptoms I should watch for and report?
3. What should I expect if it is Alzheimer's disease?
4. When should I come back for another visit?
5. Where can I go for more information?
6. If the memory loss is caused by Alzheimer's disease, which treatment is most appropriate?

Here are some of the symptoms?

* Short-term memory loss, like repeating the same question several times.
* Trouble remembering easy words, like saying "that thing I write with" instead of "pen or pencil ."
* Not wanting to do things you usually enjoy doing such as cooking.
* Making bad judgments, like turning the heat up too high, leaving the stove, walking out into the pouring rain without an umbrella, forgetting where you put your keys, to eat, or giving lots of money to a stranger for no reason, getting lost.
* Extreme personality changes, mood swings and getting upset easily.
* Confusing things and people from the past with things and people from the present.

there is no cure for Alzheimer's.

You can keep yourself healthy by taking vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids and others, to learn more email us at alzheimers@maryjosephfoundation.org

There are some medications can help slow Alzheimer's down, but first check with your Doctor.

Currently there are over 18 million peoples worldwide who are living with Alzheimer’s disease and that number is expected to grow to as many as 71 million by 2025. Alzheimer’s disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States and number six worldwide.

Protect yourself by using Memory Companion.

Posted 05:42 AM October 30, 2008

Message from Dr. William Thomas.

Protect yourself by using Memory Companion.

Build a strong memory:

Memory Companion is fortify with over twenty difference types of all natural herbal plants, in 2003 we tested Memory Companion on over one thousand individuals who had plaque problem with their memory and after six months of taking Memory Companion the plaque build up was removed and new cells reappear in the individuals brain.
We also realize when an individual take Memory Companion at a real early stage in life their memory tend to be plaque FREE.
Plaque is a sticky build up that form and deposit on certain parts of the brain which causes individuals to become forgetful and later Dementia/Alzheimer's.

Brain changes precede memory loss:

In some cases the disease is very difficult to detect until it has progressed from mild memory loss to clear impairment, individuals eventually loss all ability to care for themselves.
The Brain structure changes can be seen in clinically normal individuals an average of two years before they are diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment.
In Dementia/Alzheimer's disease cases, lesions known as ( plaques and tangles ) form in the brain, due to the abnormal clumping of two proteins called beta-amyloid and tau.

MRI showed loss of gray matter two to three years before symptoms.

In normal older individuals, MRI of the brain reveals loss of gray matter about two to three years before symptoms of the mind cognitive impairment set in.

Diabetes and Head injury link to Alzheimer's disease

Posted 05:10 AM September 11, 2008

Diabetes

People with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes face a greater risk of Alzheimer's disease and vascular cognitive impairment. Research indicates that this increase in risk may be due to a shared mechanism: a deficiency or dysfunction of insulin, the hormone that enables cells in the body to use blood sugar (glucose).

Brain cells need blood sugar in order to function, and in particular to execute a high-energy task such as learning a skill or forming a memory. Yet a 2005 study in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease provides evidence that the brain's ability to use blood sugar may be compromised as Alzheimer's disease develops. The researchers found that insulin levels and the number of insulin receptors in the brain fall dramatically in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease, and they continue to plummet as the disease progresses. In the advanced stage of Alzheimer's disease, there are 80% fewer insulin receptors in the brain than is normal. The researchers think that the decline in insulin and insulin receptors in the brain may be linked somehow to the death of neurons and appearance of tangles in the brain — the signs of Alzheimer's disease.

Head injury

Many former boxers develop a condition called dementia pugilistica (boxer's dementia) after suffering repeated blows to the head. The microscopic changes in their brains resemble those in Alzheimer's disease, which led researchers to wonder if brain injury might be a factor in the disease. Researchers discovered amyloid deposits in people who died shortly after severe head injury, especially in those with the ApoE4 gene. The authors concluded that less severe head injuries might trigger amyloid deposits in susceptible people, resulting years later in full-blown Alzheimer's.

Sandra Day O'Connor makes plea for Alzheimer's FUNDING!

Posted 09:15 PM July 09, 2008

WASHINGTON... Speaking out for the first time about her husband's Alzheimer's disease, retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor told senators Wednesday that the disease takes a "staggering toll" on families and said, "our nation is certainly ready, and have to get deadly serious about this deadly disease."
As she referred to her "beloved husband," John, and how he is "not in very good shape," her voice cracked.

Who feel it knows it...Living with this disease has been sad and difficult for my entire family or any family," O'Connor wrote in the testimony she prepared for Wednesday's morning session. "The disease begins quietly, with memory difficulties that gradually become more serious and much more frightening with each passing year. Then, what follows is confusion ... impaired judgment ... trouble expressing even the simplest thoughts .... disorientation ... and socially inappropriate behavior." Yet Sandra Day O'Connor who was the first woman on the Supreme Court, clearly conveyed her main message to the Special Committee on Aging: that Alzheimer's disease research must be expanded to find a CURE, and it will take both public and private funding, I must say every dollar count.

Speaking from experiences In Sandra Day O'Connor's actual remarks to the committee, she did not read that text and instead highlighted the need for policymakers to focus on research of this deadly disease that currently has no cure.

Recently, researchers identified abnormal tau protein in the entorhinal cortex before dementia was even clinically detectable. For years now most researchers targeted a different symptom, the amyloid beta plaques that gum up the spaces between the brain's neurons, causing them to die. You can now see many famous people such as Charlton Heston 1924-2008,former President Ronald Reagan and more who die from Alzheimer's disease on our web site ( my forum )

We are asking everyone for their support let us fight this disease together, I watch my mother and two of my cousins slowly past away from Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's the pain and suffering it causes

Posted 06:51 AM April 05, 2008

Experiencing Alzheimer's Disease:

I saw my mother suffered for over seven years with Alzheimer's disease in difference stages from getting lost and packing bags with sugar, rice, raw chicken, raw meat and threw all in a old bag with some of her clothes and saying she is leaving to acting like a little school girl, then seeing her sick down in bed and can't move and groaning and later in the hospital with tubes in her nose, I remember many nights and days I and my sisters cried to see our mother who was so kind, giving and loving especially to others going through this sickness, to see some one you really love going through this sickness that the Doctors call Alzheimer's disease especially you own mother who you really love, then in December 1998 after six weeks in Clara Mass Hospital in Belleville NJ my mother past it was not a good experience to see my mother suffering then later pasting. In 1992 we made promise to our mother to help others especially to those who do not have anything and homeless or in mental disturb homes. In the 90s I lost two cousins and my mother to Alzheimer's disease. We are here to help and all of the Donations are going toward taking care of the people who need it most because we were there and it touch, move us and we feel it and experience it and we are now sharing it with others in a loving way.
