We have come along way and I want to personally thank each and everyone
of you for your support and tell you how important it is.With early
onset of Alzheimer's detection and treatment the chance of slowing it
down is much greater.As a special program of the Alzheimer's Foundation
for detection of symptoms and prevention the mission of the Alzheimer's
assistance relief fund is to support educational, prevention, medical
assistance and relief, and innovative research programs in order to
reduce the incidence of early onset of Alzheimer's disease in America
and throughout the rest of the world.The Alzheimer's assistance relief
fund is also fully committed to directly assisting patients, and
caregivers with the personal devastation caused by Alzheimer's disease.
There are still no CURE of any kind for Alzheimer's disease today on the world market... Dr.William Thomas.
Thank you for your generous support, your gifts of $1.00 --$2.00
--$5.00 and $10.00, it provides and continue to provide another step
closer to finding a CURE for Alzheimer's and at the same time helping
those who have Alzheimer's disease, chance for life.
For every ten dollars $25 donation or more you make to the Alzheimer's
assistance relief fund, you will get a gift from us that value
upward of $20.000 in saving on food...We just want to say thank for your support.
Just by sending $1.00 or $2.00 it would be very, very much appreciated.With my humble and deepest gratitude,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
